WARRANT SHARES REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated
as of September 30, 2003, by and among BAM! ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "COMPANY"), and the
undersigned (the "INITIAL INVESTORS").
WHEREAS:
A. The Company and the Initial Investors have entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the "SECURITIES PURCHASE
AGREEMENT;" capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement). In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to
the Initial Investors (i) warrants (the "WARRANTS") to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock, $0.001 par value (the "COMMON STOCK"). The shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued on the Closing Date
under the Securities Purchase Agreement are referred to herein as the "WARRANT
SHARES."
B. To induce the Initial Investors to execute and deliver the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain
registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the
"SECURITIES ACT"), and applicable state securities laws;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the
Initial Investors, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(i) "ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RIGHTS" shall mean
rights issued to the Initial Investors' further to the Securities Purchase
Agreement to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and Warrants (all as
more fully described in Exhibit B to the Securities Purchase Agreement).
(ii) "INVESTORS" means the Initial Investors and
any transferees or
assignees who agree to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9 hereof.
(iii) "REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and "REGISTRATION"
refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration
Statement or Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous basis ("RULE 415"), and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
(iv) "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means (i) the
Warrant Shares, (ii) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
Warrants purchased upon exercise of the Additional Investment Rights (the
"Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares"), (iii) any Warrant Shares or
Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions of the Warrants and the Additional Investment Right
Warrants, respectively, and (iv) any shares of capital stock issued or issuable,
from time to time (with any adjustments), as a distribution on or in exchange
for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that
the treatment of these securities as Registrable Securities shall terminate if
and when such securities can resold under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
and provided further however, that any shares of capital stock issued or
issuable, from time to time (with any adjustments), in exchange for or otherwise
with respect to any Shares, Warrant Shares or Additional Investment Right
Warrant Shares shall not be considered Registrable Securities to the extent such
shares of capital stock are covered by another, current and effective
registration statement permitting the resale without restriction of such shares.
(v) "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" means one or more
registration statements of the Company under the Securities Act registering all
of the Registrable Securities, including the Initial Registration Statement, any
Uncovered Shares Amendments and Uncovered Shares Registration Statements (each,
as defined below).
2. REGISTRATION.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall file with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), on the date which
is on or before forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date (the
"FILING DEADLINE") a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not
then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to
effect a registration of all of the Registrable Securities) covering the resale
of the Warrant Shares and any Additional Investment Right Warrant Shares issued
upon exercise of the Additional Investment Rights, which Registration Statement,
to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits,
stock dividends or similar transactions (the "INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT").
The Registrable Securities included in the Initial Registration Statement shall
be registered on behalf of the Investors as set forth in Section 11(k) hereof.
The Initial Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto,
and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof)
2
shall be provided to the Initial Investors and their counsel at least two (2)
Business Days prior to its filing or other submission. If for any reason
(including, but not limited to, a determination by the staff of the SEC that all
or any portion of the Registrable Securities cannot be included in the Initial
Registration Statement (an "SEC DETERMINATION")) the Initial Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC does not include all of the Registrable
Securities (any such shares that are not included being the "UNCOVERED SHARES"),
the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable, but in
any event prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after becoming aware of the
existence of any Uncovered Shares (such date referred to herein as the
"UNCOVERED SHARE FILING DEADLINE"), either (a) an amendment (the "UNCOVERED
SHARES AMENDMENT") to the Initial Registration Statement effecting a
registration of the Uncovered Shares or (b) a registration statement which
registers the Uncovered Shares (the "UNCOVERED SHARES REGISTRATION STATEMENT").
The Uncovered Shares Amendment or the Uncovered Shares Registration Statement
(and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of
effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to the Initial Investors and their
counsel at least concurrently with its filing or other submission. The Company
shall use its reasonable efforts to cause each of the Initial Registration
Statement and the Uncovered Shares Amendment or the Uncovered Shares
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the
filing thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause each
Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2(a) to
become effective as soon as practicable, but, as to the Initial Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(a), in no event later than the one
hundred and twentieth (120th) calendar day after the Closing Date, and as to any
Uncovered Shares Amendment or Uncovered Shares Registration Statement, in no
event later than the 60th day after the Uncovered Shares Filing Deadline.
b. Eligibility for Form S-3. The Company represents and
warrants that it is eligible to register the resale of Registrable Securities on
a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and that the
Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances (including without limitation
any required approvals or waivers or any circumstances that may delay or prevent
the obtaining of accountant's consents) that would prohibit or delay the
preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to
the Registrable Securities provided that such registration is not deemed a
"primary offering", in which case the Company could face potential qualification
problems regarding the requirement of having an aggregate market value held by
non-affiliates of $75 million or more. The Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in
a timely manner so as to maintain or, if applicable, regain its eligibility for
the use of Form S-3.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, on
or before the Filing Deadline or the Uncovered Share Filing Deadline, as
applicable, the applicable Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) and
shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Company shall use its
best efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415
for a period of
3
12 months from the date it became effective (the "REGISTRATION PERIOD"). In the
event that the sale of Registrable Securities by one or more Investors is
determined by the SEC to constitute a primary offering, upon the written request
from time to time of any such Investor, the Company shall as promptly as
practicable cause a Registration Statement to be amended and/or one or more
additional Registration Statements (which may be requested on a sequential
basis) to be filed (as specified by the applicable Investors) and to be declared
effective; and take all other actions reasonably requested by such Investors to
effectuate the offering of Registrable Securities. If the Initial Registration
Statement is not filed on Form S-3, the Company shall, as soon as it is eligible
to do so, file a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the Initial
Registration Statement to the extent permitted by the SEC or, if not so
permitted, file a new Registration Statement on Form S-3 to permit sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act; and the
Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment
or Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible. Each
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein and all documents incorporated by reference
therein) filed pursuant to this Agreement (i) shall comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and (ii) shall not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
The financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement
or incorporated by reference therein will comply as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except
(i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes
thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they
may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and shall
fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to immaterial year-end
adjustments).
4
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company's obligations hereunder to file a Registration Statement, to have the
same declared effective and to keep a registration statement continuously in
effect under the Securities Act shall be suspended (a "Grace Period") if the
fulfillment of such obligations would require the Company to make a disclosure
that would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, have
a Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) on the Company or a material adverse effect on the future prospects
of the Company or its stockholders; provided, that the Registration Statement
shall be suspended for a total of no more than ninety (90) days during any
twelve (12) month period. The provisions of Section 2(b) hereof shall not be
applicable during and shall be tolled as a result of any Grace Period.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or
received by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto. In the case of the Registration Statement referred to in
Section 2(a), the Company shall furnish to each Investor which requests (i) a
copy of any request to accelerate the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement or amendment thereto, (ii) on the date of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, a notice stating that the
Registration Statement or amendment has been declared effective, and (iii) such
number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all
amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor. In responding to comments from the staff of
the SEC, the Company shall cooperate with any Investor that notifies the Company
that it desires to be consulted with respect to such process. Such cooperation
shall solely consist of providing any such Investor with: a reasonable
opportunity to comment on the text and substance of proposed written responses
to the extent such comment relates to such investor or its plan of distribution
of the Registrable Securities. To the extent that issues raised by the staff of
the SEC have an impact primarily on any such investor rather than the Company,
the Company shall give reasonable deference to such Investor's requests with
respect to the process and substance of responses with respect to such issues.
d. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions
in the United States as each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being
offered reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions
5
reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale
in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (a) qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for
this Section 3(d), (b) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, (c) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction, (d) provide any undertakings that cause the Company undue expense
or burden, or (e) make any change in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws,
which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be
contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of
such event, the Company shall notify each Investor by telephone or facsimile of
the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of
which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and use its reasonable efforts promptly to prepare a supplement
or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to
each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request.
f. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable date (including in each
case by amending or supplementing such Registration Statement) and to notify
each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of
such order and the resolution thereof (and if such Registration Statement is
supplemented or amended, deliver such number of copies of such supplement or
amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request).
g. The Company shall make available for inspection by
(i) any Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement and (ii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other
agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the "INSPECTORS") all pertinent
financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company, as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector to enable
each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any
Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence.
h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this Agreement, or (v) such Investor consents to the
form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in
6
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and
allow the Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
i. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to
promptly either (i) secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or
(ii) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be listed on the NYSE or the AMEX or another national securities exchange and
on each additional national securities exchange on which securities of the same
class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of
such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange.
j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and
registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not
later than the effective date of the Registration Statement.
k. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who
hold Registrable Securities being offered to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing
Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and
enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may
be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the
Investors may request.
l. At the request of an Initial Investor or Investors
who holds a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company
shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used
in connection with the Registration Statement each as approved by the Company,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, as may be
necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such
Registration Statement.
m. The Company shall comply with applicable federal and
state securities laws and regulations related to a Registration Statement and
offering and sale of securities.
n. From and after the date of this Agreement, the
Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities
of the Company (except (i) to the extent existing agreements may otherwise
provide or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock underlying the warrants to be
issued to HDB as placement agent or its co-placement agents of the financing
contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement) to include any of their
securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of
the holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities.
7
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Investors shall have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor (or any damages
to such Investor) that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the
first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify each Investor of any information the Company requires from each such
Investor.
b. Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company
in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's
Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
The Company shall pay (or reimburse the Purchasers for) all fees and
expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the
Company, including without limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and
expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the
Commission, any trading market and in connection with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation
expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing
prospectuses requested by the Purchasers), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e) fees and
expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all
listing fees to be paid by the Company to the trading market.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor who holds such Registrable
Securities, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, members, employees and
agents of such Investor and each person who controls any Investor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), if any (each, an
"INDEMNIFIED PERSON"), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or
8
expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any
regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in
respect thereof, "CLAIMS") to which any of them may become subject insofar as
such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) being, collectively, "VIOLATIONS"). Subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 6(c) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the
Company shall reimburse the Investors and each other Indemnified Person,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without an unconditional release of the
Company and all of its controlling persons, employees and agents, or without the
prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; and (iii) with respect to any prospectus, shall not inure to the
benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of
material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in
the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus
was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, and
the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect
prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable
Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in
which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not
jointly to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the
same manner set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees, agents,
attorneys and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any
other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or
any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and
together with an Indemnified Person, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim
to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or
9
otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation,
in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and subject to Section 6(c) such Investor will reimburse any
reasonable legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and
are due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without an unconditional
release of such Investor and all of its controlling persons, employees and
agents, or without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
Investor shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 6(b) and
Section 7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds actually
received by such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b)
with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact by the
Investor contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis
in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Indemnified Party
failed to utilize such corrected prospectus.
c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that such indemnifying
party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the
reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
conflicts of interest between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and
any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the
Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party and any
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there
may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
which are in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party. The
indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for all
Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal
counsel shall be selected by Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim
relates, if the Investors are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or by the
Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such
10
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made
by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred
and is due and payable.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that
(i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not
have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in
Section 6, (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any other person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution (together with any indemnification or
other obligations under this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("RULE 144"), the Company agrees to:
a. file with the SEC in a timely manner and make and
keep available all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to
such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the
Company's obligations under Section 5(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement)
and the filing and availability of such reports and other documents as is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
b. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor
owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by
the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144,
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed
by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested
to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights of the Investors hereunder, including the right to have the
Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, shall be
assignable by each Investor to any
11
transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) the
Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such
rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such
assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name

e. This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and

entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This

prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto and thereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
f. Subject to the requirements of Section 9 hereof, this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each of the parties hereto.
g. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not form part of or effect the interpretation of this
Agreement.
h. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which 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. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be
delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of
this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
j. All consents, approvals and other determinations to

Securities, each transferee shall be deemed to have registered on its behalf a

person or entity which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be deemed

of doubt, (A) the number of Registrable Securities held by an Investor shall be

the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not
for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by any other
