TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 7, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 22 investors
pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 1,389,999 shares of our common stock for $1.50 per share,
together with warrants to purchase 695,000 additional shares of our common stock. The warrants are
exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
Under a separate Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to file a registration
statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares
(including those issuable upon exercise of the warrants). We are required to file this
registration statement within 45 days of the closing and to obtain its effectiveness within 90 days
of filing. However, if the SEC reviews the registration statement filing, we are required to
obtain the effectiveness within 120 days of the closing or, if sooner, five days after the SEC
completes its review. We have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the registration
statement effective for five years, or if sooner, until the investors have sold all their shares or
can sell them without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k).
Subject to various exceptions, we have agreed to issue certain additional shares to the
investors without charge, and to reduce the exercise price of the warrants, in the event that,
within one year from closing, we issue shares of Common Stock at less than $1.50 per share. In
addition, if we do not timely file and obtain SEC effectiveness of the registration statement, or
if use of the registration statement is suspended for more than 30 aggregate trading days after it
becomes effective, then for each month that this failure continues, we have agreed to pay the
investors liquidated damages of 1% of their original investment amount.
We generally may call for the investors to exercise their warrants beginning one year after
the closing if, for 30 consecutive trading days prior to making this call, the closing price for
our common stock is at least $4.00 per share and the average daily trading volume is 5,000 shares.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
(a) On August 7, 2006, we sold 1,389,999 shares of our common stock, together with
warrants to purchase 695,000 additional shares of our common stock. We also sold the placement
agent, identified below, a warrant to purchase 69,500 shares of our common stock.
(b) Craig Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for our offering of
securities. We did not publicly offer our securities. We sold the shares and warrants to 22
investors, each of whom represented that he, she or it was an accredited investor within the
meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(c) We sold the shares and warrants for cash. The total offering price was $2,084,999. The
placement agent received total commissions of $166,375, together with reimbursement of $16,417 of
accountable expenses. The placement agent purchased its warrant from us for $50.00.
(d) We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, for this transaction. We did not engage in any public advertising or
general solicitation. We offered each investor disclosure of all aspects of our business. Based
on our investigation, we believe that each investor obtained all information regarding us that the
investor requested, received answers to all questions the investor and his, her or its advisors
posed and otherwise understood the risks of accepting our securities for investment purposes.
(e) The warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent are exercisable for five
years at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Subject to various exceptions, we have agreed to
reduce the exercise price of the warrants in the event that, within one year from closing, we
issue
shares of our common stock at less than $1.50 per share. We generally may call the warrants beginning after the first year of
the closing if, for 30 consecutive trading days prior to making this call, the closing price for
our common stock is at least $4.00 per share and the average daily trading volume is 5,000 shares.

Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her
capacity as such), is or within the past ten years has been the subject of any Action involving a
claim of violation of or liability under Federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of
fiduciary duty, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports. There has not been, and to

authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate Federal, state, local or foreign regulatory

such permits.

facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance,

use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in
connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the
failure to so have could, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the Intellectual Property Rights). Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights
used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. Except
as set forth in the SEC Reports, to the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the
Intellectual Property Rights.
-9-
(q) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has
no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as
may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with market for the Companys and
such Subsidiaries respective lines of business.
(r) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or
any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any
contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by,
providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or
from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer,
director, trustee or partner.
(s) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions
are executed in accordance with managements general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and
to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
managements general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company,
including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Companys Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case
may be, is being prepared. The Companys certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of
the Companys controls and procedures as of the last day of the period covered by the Form 10-QSB
for the Companys most recently ended fiscal quarter (such date, the Evaluation Date). The
Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on
their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Companys internal
controls (as described in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the
Companys knowledge, without inquiry, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Companys internal controls.
(t) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date
(and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the Companys fair saleable value of its
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in
respect of
-10-
the Companys
existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii)
the Companys assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the
current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs
taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company,
and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash
flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all
of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to
pay all amounts on or in respect of its debts when such amounts are required to be paid. The
Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking
into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debts).
(u) Certain Fees. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(u), no brokerage or
finders fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor
or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with respect
to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor
pursuant to written agreements executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the
sole responsibility of such Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type
contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
(v) Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares by the
Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. The Company is eligible to register the
resale of its Common Stock by the Investors on Form SB-2 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Except as specified in Schedule 3.1(v), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to
any Person any rights (including piggy-back registration rights) to have any securities of the
Company registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied or exercised.
(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as specified in the SEC Reports, the
Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading
Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not
in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance
requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common
Stock is currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction
Documents (including the issuance of Additional Shares) does not contravene the rules and
regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no
approval of the shareholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and
deliver to the Investors the Securities contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
-11-
(x) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately following the Closing will not have become, an investment company within the meaning
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company has taken all necessary action,
if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison
pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision
under the Companys Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Investors or shareholders of the
Company prior to the Closing Date as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation the Companys issuance of the Securities and the Investors ownership of the Securities.
(z) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any Investor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents.
(aa) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any Person acting on its
behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information that the
Company believes constitutes material, non-public information except insofar as the existence and
terms of the proposed transactions hereunder may constitute such information. The Company
understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and
covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. Except as corrected by a
subsequent disclosure prior to the date hereof made in the SEC Reports, all disclosure provided to
the Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby,
furnished by or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(bb) Currently Intended Accounting for Transaction. The Company intends to account
for the net proceeds raised from the financing which is the subject of this Agreement as equity in
its consolidated financial statements.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself
and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. If applicable, such Investor is an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to
carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability
-12-
company or other
applicable like action, on the part of such Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in
accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such
Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities as principal for its
own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling
such Securities or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Investors right at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with
applicable Federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence,
nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the
Securities for any period of time. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was,
and at the date hereof it is, an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act. Such Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange
Act.
(d) General Solicitation. Such Investor is not purchasing the Securities as a result
of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in
any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the
Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has
deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective
financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects
sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort
or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such
Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Investors right to
rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Companys
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
(f) Certain Trading Activities. Such Investor has not directly or indirectly, nor has
any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any
transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any
-13-
Short Sales
involving the Companys securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that such Investor
was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding an investment in the Company and
(2) the 20th day prior to the public announcement of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or
pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the
Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed.
(g) Independent Investment Decision. Such Investor has independently evaluated the
merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any representations or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set
forth in this Section 3.2.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 (a) Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and Federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not
require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time
as they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
[NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED] WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED
(THE SECURITIES ACT), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH
EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
[THESE SECURITIES AND THE
-14-
SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES]
[THESE SECURITIES] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement
in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or
account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and
no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent
transfer following default by the Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required
of such pledge. At the appropriate Investors expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities including the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale of such Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), (ii)
following a sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is
not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144(k). If an Investor makes a sale or transfer of Shares or Warrant Shares either
(x) pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) pursuant to a registration statement and in each case shall have
delivered to the Company or the Companys transfer agent the certificate representing Shares or
Warrant Shares containing a restrictive legend which are the subject of such sale or transfer and a
representation letter in customary form (the date of such sale or transfer and Share or Warrant
Share delivery being the Share Delivery Date) and (1) the Company shall fail to deliver or cause
to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares that is
free from all restrictive or other legends by the third Trading Day following the Share Delivery
Date and (2) following such third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date and prior to the time
such Shares or Warrant Shares are received free from restrictive legends, the
Investor, or any third party on behalf of such Investor, purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such
Shares or Warrant Shares (a Buy-In), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for
costs incurred either directly by such Investor or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which
the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage
commissions, if any) exceed the proceeds received by such Investor as a result of the sale to which
such Buy-In relates. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
-15-
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Securities, the
Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Investors to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that
it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares and Warrant Shares
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that
no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of
any Trading Market in a manner that would require shareholder approval of the sale of the
Securities to the Investors.
4.4 Subsequent Registrations. Other than pursuant to the Registration Statement,
prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on
Form S-8 or amendments to previously filed registration statements) with the Commission with
respect to any securities of the Company.
4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, and by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue press releases in a form approved
by the Investors disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and the Closing. On the Trading
Day following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K
disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the
Transaction Documents), and on the Trading Day following the Closing Date the Company will file an
additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the Closing. In addition, the Company will make
such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission and the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is listed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the
Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in
accordance with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or
Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Investor, except to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations.
-16-
4.6 Additional Shares. In the event that during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period (as
defined below), the Company proposes to engage in a transaction that, by giving effect to this
Section 4.6, would require the Company to issue Additional Shares (as defined below), the Company
agrees that it will not engage in any such transaction unless it first receives pre-approval to
give effect to this Section 4.6 from the Companys shareholders at a duly held regular or special
meeting thereof held in accordance with the Rules of the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, the
Investors acknowledge and agree that this Section 4.6 will only apply to a transaction for which
the Companys shareholders have so given their pre-approval.
(a) If, prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (such one-year period being the
Anti-Dilution Testing Period), the Company issues (or agrees to issue) any shares of Common Stock
or if the Company or any Subsidiary issues (or agrees to issue) any Common Stock Equivalents
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Threshold
Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time
during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants,
options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at a price less than the Threshold Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for
less than the Threshold Price), then, with each such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents for a purchase price that is less than the Threshold Price, the Company shall
immediately issue additional shares of Common Stock (the Additional Shares) to each Investor for
no additional consideration. The number of Additional Shares issuable to each Investor will equal
the number of shares of Common Stock that such Investors Investment Amount would have purchased at
the Adjusted Per Share Purchase Price (as defined below) minus the number of shares of Common Stock
issued to such Investor pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) herein. The Adjusted Per Share Purchase
Price shall equal:
PSPP x [(N+v)/(N+n)]
where:
PSPP = the Per Share Purchase Price.
N = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common
Stock Equivalents.
v = the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration receivable by the Company (determined in accordance
with subsection (c) below) would purchase at the Per Share Purchase
Price.
n = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with
such subsequent issuance.
-17-
The Company shall notify the Investors in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein
the applicable issuance price. The Additional Shares shall be entitled to the registration and
other rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and any Additional Shares not
registered for resale shall also be afforded general piggyback registration rights (until such time
as the affected Investor can resell its Additional Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k)) such that such
Additional Shares may be included in any registration statement (other than on Form S-8) filed by
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no issuances of Additional Shares will be made under
this Section as a result of: (i) the issuance of Warrant Shares, (ii) to the extent consistent
with past practice, the grant of options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities,
under any duly authorized Company stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan
whether now existing or approved by the Company and its shareholders in the future (but not as to
any amendments or other modifications to the number of Common Stock issuable thereunder, the terms
set forth therein, or the exercise price set forth therein, unless such amendments or other
modifications are approved by the Companys shareholders), (iii) the issuance and sale by the
Company of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued as consideration for the
acquisition of another company or business (including the grant of up to 100,000 options or
warrants to officers, employees and directors in connection with such an acquisition) if no
executive officer, director or 10% beneficial shareholder of the Company is an executive officer,
director or 10% beneficial shareholder of such other company or business, and if the acquisition
has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) the issuance of up to 200,000
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to a financial institution or leasing company
primarily in connection with any debt or lease financing transaction or the establishment or
maintenance of any line of credit (other than equity lines or similar transactions) or (v) the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
of Options or Convertible Securities (as those terms are defined in subsection (c)(i) below)
outstanding on the date hereof. If during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, the Company enters
into any understanding or agreement to issue or sell securities that would, if such issuance or
sale were to occur during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, trigger an obligation to issue
Additional Shares, then notwithstanding the fact that such actual issuance of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents occurs after the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, such issuance will obligate
the Company to issue Additional Shares under this Section.
(b) Certain Limitations.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Additional Shares
that may be acquired at any given time by an Investor pursuant to this Section shall be limited to
the extent necessary to insure that, following such issuance, the total number of shares of Common
Stock then beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose
beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the issuance of Additional Shares). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be
-18-
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. By written notice to the Company, an Investor may waive the provisions of
this Section 4.6(b) as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the
61st day after delivery thereof and such waiver shall have no effect on any other
Investor.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Additional
Shares that may be acquired by an Investor pursuant to this Section shall be limited to the extent
necessary to insure that, following such issuance, the total number of shares of Common Stock then
beneficially owned by such Investor and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial
ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (including for such purpose the issuance of Additional Shares). For such purposes,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This restriction may not be waived.
(iii) The Company and each Investor agree that, if and to the extent Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii)
would restrict the ability of an Investor to receive any Additional Shares, then notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall deliver those Additional Shares as may
be acquired by such Investor in accordance with Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii). An Investor will promptly
notify the Company in writing if the issuance of Additional Shares would be restricted by Sections
4.6(b)(i)-(ii), specifying therein the Additional Shares so restricted. Such Investor shall
deliver a notice to the Company when it is able to acquire any remaining Additional Shares not
previously deliverable to such Investor due to the applicability of Sections 4.6(b)(i)-(ii),
however, such notice shall not take effect until the 61st day following delivery
thereof.
(c) For purposes of this Section 4.6, the following subsections (c)(i) to (c)(vi) shall also
be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If at any time the Company shall in any manner
grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or
security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being
called Options and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called Convertible
Securities) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of
(x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate
to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and
-19-
upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Threshold
Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or
exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting of
such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Per Share Purchase Price. Except as otherwise provided
in subsection 4.6(c)(iii), no adjustment of the Per Share Purchase Price shall be made upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options
or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall in any manner issue
(directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities,
whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Threshold Price in effect immediately prior to the
time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for
such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the Per Share Purchase
Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 4.6(c)(iii), no adjustment of
the Per Share Purchase Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Per
Share Purchase Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon
exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the
Per Share Purchase Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 4.6(c).
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the
following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
subsection 4.6(c)(i) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 4.6(c)(i) or 4.6(c)(ii), or the
rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 4.6(c)(i) or 4.6(c)(ii) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not
limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Per
Share Purchase Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith
-20-
be readjusted to the Per Share Purchase Price which would have been in effect at such time had
such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price,
additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted,
issued or sold. On the termination of any Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to
this subsection 4.6(c) or any right to convert or exchange Convertible Securities for which any
adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 4.6(c) (including without limitation upon the
redemption or purchase for consideration of such Convertible Securities by the Company), the Per
Share Purchase Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed to the Per Share Purchase
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such termination, never been
issued.
(iv) Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6(c), if the
Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company
(other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such
dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
(v) Consideration for Stock. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to
be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses
incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in
connection therewith. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.
If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in
connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the Additional Rights) are issued,
then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the
fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investors). The Board of
Directors of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Investors as to
the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the
Company and the Investors are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights,
the Company and the Investors shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such
matters. The decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such
appraiser shall be borne evenly by the Company and the Investors.
-21-
(vi) Record Date. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right
of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.7 Limitation on Issuance of Future Priced Securities. During the six months
following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue any Future Priced Securities as such term
is described by NASD IM-4350-1.
4.8 Indemnification of Investors. In addition to the indemnity provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an Investor Party)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs
and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys fees and costs of investigation (collectively, Losses) that any such Investor Party
may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction
Document. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor
Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation,
preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are incurred.
4.9 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any
other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use
of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on
the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.10 Listing of Securities. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have
the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares
and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the
Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and
(ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Companys reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.11 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of
the Companys debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary
-22-
course of the Companys business and consistent with prior practices), or to redeem any Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

-25-

6.6 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a
part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any
provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
6.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to
whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing
to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the
Investors.
6.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,
nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party).
6.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all Actions concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives,
and agrees not to assert in any Action, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Action has been commenced in an improper or
inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such Action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of
-26-
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any
right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in
any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. If either party shall commence an Action to enforce any provisions of a Transaction
Document, then the prevailing party in such Action shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Action.
6.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature
is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and
effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon
so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then
such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice
to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to
its future actions and rights.
6.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued
in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
-27-
6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein
or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent
of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.17 Independent Nature of Investors Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of
any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken
by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other
Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder
and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its
investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each
Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and
it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided
with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple
Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.
6.18 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly,
under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of
the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other
-28-
Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial
interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Investor.

transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be
deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a
Warrant.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to
time commencing on the 181st day after the Original Issue Date and through and including the
Expiration Date. At 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. Except as set forth
below in Section 4(b), the Company may not call or redeem any portion of this Warrant without the
prior written consent of the affected Holder.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4(b), if at any time following the one-year
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, (i) the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock
for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to delivery of a Call Notice is
greater than $4.00 (subject to equitable adjustment as a result of the events set forth in Section
9), (ii) the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock during the entire 30 Trading Day
period referenced in clause (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date (as defined below) as
set forth in the Companys notice pursuant to this Section (the Call Condition Period) shall be
at least 5,000 shares (subject to equitable adjustment as a result of intervening stock splits and
reverse stock splits), (iii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an
effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the
prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all Warrant Shares) or freely
transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities
Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock,
during the entire Call Condition Period, (iv) the Company shall have complied in all material
respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Transaction Documents during the entire
Call Condition Period and (v) the Common Stock shall at all times be listed or quoted on a Trading
Market during the entire Call Condition Period, then the Company may in its sole discretion, elect
to require the exercise of all (but not less than all) of the then unexercised portion of this
Warrant at the Exercise Price, on the date that is the fifth (5th) day after written
notice thereof (a Call Notice) is received by the Holder (the Call Date) at the address last
shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the
purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at
all times during the Call Condition Period or any such Call Notice shall be null and void. The
Company and the Holder agree that, if and to the extent Section 11 of this Warrant would restrict
the ability of the Holder to exercise this Warrant in the event of a delivery of a Call Notice,
then notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Call Notice, the Call Notice shall
be deemed automatically amended to apply only to such portion of this Warrant as may be exercised
by the Holder by the Call Date in accordance with such Sections as are then in effect. The Holder
will promptly (and, in any event, prior to the Call Date) notify the Company in writing following
receipt of a Call Notice if Section 11 would
-3-
restrict its exercise of the Warrant, specifying therein the number of Warrant Shares so
restricted. The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Exercise Notices tendered
through 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant is being exercised.
Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the
attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment
of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to
purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after
the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which, unless otherwise required by the Purchase
Agreement, shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and
subsequent to the date on which a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares
has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, use its reasonable best
efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation
or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available,
provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to change its transfer agent if
its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository
Trust Corporation. A Date of Exercise means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to
the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately
completed and duly signed and (ii) if such Holder is not utilizing the cashless exercise provisions
set forth in this Warrant, payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so
indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
(b) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the
required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder
will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(c) If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the
required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after
such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
Buy-In), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common
Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares
that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by
(B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise and (2) at the option of the
Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for
which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that would have been issued had the
-4-
Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder
shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of
the Buy-In.
(d) The Companys obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any
judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other
Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder
or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing
herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant
Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax,
withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance
of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a
name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon
exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and
customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested.
Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable
regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may
prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the
Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the
Companys obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon
exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or
-5-
any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares
so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price
in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any
class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to
clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment
pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the
effective date of such subdivision or combination.
(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there
is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been,
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the Alternate Consideration). For purposes of
any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply
to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect
of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative
value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are
given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holders
option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this
Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders right to purchase
the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase
the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after
such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the
-6-
Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
request; provided, that the second choice is unavailable if the Fundamental Transaction is
a merger effected solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in a different
jurisdiction. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected
shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions
of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be
similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
(c) Subsequent Equity Sales. In the event that during the Anti-Dilution Testing
Period (referred to below), the Company proposes to engage in a transaction that, by giving effect
to this Section 9(c), would require the Company to recalculate the EP (as defined below), the
Company agrees that it will not engage in any such transaction unless it first receives
pre-approval to give effect to this Section 9(c) from the Companys shareholders at a duly held
regular or special meeting thereof held in accordance with the Rules of the American Stock
Exchange. Accordingly, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that this Section 9(c) will only apply
to a transaction for which the Companys shareholders have so given their pre-approval.
(i) If during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, the Company issues (or agrees to issue) any
shares of Common Stock or if the Company or any Subsidiary issues (or agrees to issue) any Common
Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less
than the Threshold Price (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued
shall at any time during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, whether by operation of purchase price
adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or
due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive
shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Threshold Price, such issuance shall be deemed to
have occurred for less than the Threshold Price), then, the Exercise Price (EP) shall be adjusted
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AEP
|
|
=
|
|
EP
|
|
x
|
|
[(N+v)/(N+n)]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where: |
|
|
|
|
AEP = the Adjusted Exercise Price.
N = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Common
Stock Equivalents.
v = the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration receivable by the Company (determined in accordance
with subsection 9(c)(ii) below) would purchase at the Per Share
Purchase Price.
n = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with
such subsequent issuance.
-7-
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.
The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein
the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and
other pricing terms. If during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, the Company enters into any
understanding or agreement to issue or sell securities that would, if such issuance were to occur
during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, trigger an adjustment to the Exercise Price, then
notwithstanding the fact that such actual issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
occurs after the Anti-Dilution Testing Period, such issuance will be treated as if it had occurred
during the Anti-Dilution Testing Period.
(ii) For purposes of this subsection 9(c), the following subsections (c)(ii)(l) to (c)(ii)(6)
shall also be applicable:
(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. If at any time the Company shall in any manner
grant (directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or
security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being
called Options and such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being called Convertible
Securities) whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities
(determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of
(x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the
granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate
to Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon
the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by
(ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options
or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
such Options) shall be less than the Threshold Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the
granting of such Options, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such
price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible
Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise
Price. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(c)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities.
(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company shall in any manner issue
(directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any
-8-
Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible
Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute
the applicable consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the aggregate amount
of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Threshold Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting
the Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subsection 9(c)(ii)(3), no
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any
Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price
have been made pursuant to the other provisions of subsection 9(c).
(3) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the
following events, namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
subsection 9(c)(ii)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(c)(ii)(l) or 9(c)(ii)(2), or
the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in subsections 9(c)(ii)(l) or 9(c)(ii)(2) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but not
limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still
outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate,
as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. On the termination of any
Option for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection 9(c) or any right to convert
or exchange Convertible Securities for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this subsection
9(c) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of such
Convertible Securities by the Company), the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith
be changed to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such termination
had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
termination, never been issued.
(4) Stock Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9(c), if the Company
shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Company (other than
the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be,
-9-
issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or
sold without consideration.
(5) Consideration for Stock. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to
be the net amount received by the Company therefor, after deduction therefrom of any expenses
incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in
connection therewith. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, after deduction of any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection therewith.
If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other securities of the
Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is
allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold by the Company and, in
connection therewith, other Options or Convertible Securities (the Additional Rights) are issued,
then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company shall be reduced by the
fair market value of the Additional Rights (as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model or another method mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder). The Board of Directors
of the Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Holders as to the fair
market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of Directors of the Company and
the Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Additional Rights, the Company
and the Holders shall jointly select an appraiser, who is experienced in such matters. The
decision of such appraiser shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be
borne evenly by the Company and the Holder.
(6) Record Date. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the
issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right
of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this paragraph (c) in
respect of: (i) the issuance of Warrant Shares, (ii) to the extent consistent with past practice,
the grant of options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any duly
authorized Company stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan whether now existing
or approved by the Company and its shareholders in the future (but not as to any amendments or
other modifications to the number of Common Stock issuable thereunder, the terms set forth therein,
or the exercise price set forth therein, unless such amendments or other
-10-
modifications are approved by the Companys shareholders), (iii) the issuance and sale by the
Company of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued as consideration for the
acquisition of another company or business (including the grant of up to 100,000 options or
warrants to officers, employees and directors in connection with such an acquisition) if no
executive officer, director or 10% beneficial shareholder of the Company is an executive officer,
director or 10% beneficial shareholder of such other company or business, and if the acquisition
has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) the issuance of up to 200,000
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to a financial institution or leasing company
primarily in connection with any debt or lease financing transaction or the establishment or
maintenance of any line of credit (other than equity lines or similar transactions) or (v) the
issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
of Options or Convertible Securities (as those terms are defined in Section 9(c)(ii)(1) above)
outstanding on the date hereof.
(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise
Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the
aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the
same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the
nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the
account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale
of Common Stock.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a
statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other
securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions
giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to
the Holder and to the Companys Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other
distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including
without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes
the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the
Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such
transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the
-11-
dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days
prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock
in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all
steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to
exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall
not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the
following manners:
(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or
(b) Cashless Exercise. If an Exercise Notice is delivered at a time when a
registration statement permitting the Holder to resell the Warrant Shares is not then effective or
the prospectus forming a part thereof is not then available to the Holder for the resale of the
Warrant Shares, then the Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to
utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of
Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant
is being exercised.
A = the average of the closing prices for the five Trading Days
immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
B = the Exercise Price.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and
acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to
have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
11. Limitations on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares
that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect
hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially
-12-
owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of
Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, does not exceed 4.9% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
(including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such
purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the
number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to
determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event
of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. By written notice to
the Company, an Investor may waive the provisions of this Section 11(a) as to itself but any such
waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof and such waiver
shall have no effect on any other Investor.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares
that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect
hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other
issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and
its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated
with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.9% of the
total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall
be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock
which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or
other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as
contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. This restriction may not be waived.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would,
otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied
by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date
of exercise.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder
(including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New

existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415, on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for
resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another
appropriate form for such purpose). Such Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise
required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such
Registration Statement) the Plan of Distribution attached hereto as Annex A. The Company
shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon
as possible but, in any event, no later than its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act
until the date which is the earlier of (i) five years after its Effective Date, (ii) such time as
all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by

Statement may be sold by the Holders pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the
Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the
Companys transfer agent and the affected Holders (the Effectiveness Period). The initial
Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company shall include all Shares, all Warrant
Shares potentially issuable upon an assumed exercise in full of all Warrants issued at Closing
(without regard to any exercise limitations contained therein) and any Additional Shares then
outstanding or issuable.
(b) If for any reason the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities
identified in Section 2(a) to be included in the initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2(a), or for any other reason any outstanding or then issuable Registrable Securities are
not then covered by an effective Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare and file by
the Filing Date for such Registration Statement, an additional Registration Statement covering the
resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration
Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, on Form S-3
(except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on
Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form for such purpose).
Each such Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written
comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the Plan of
Distribution attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause each such Registration
Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event,
by its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period.
(c) If a Registration Statement described in Sections 2(a) or 2(b) is not on Form S-3, then
promptly following any date on which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement
on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, the Company
-4-
shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a
post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the then effective Registration Statement) and shall cause
such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible thereafter, but in any
event prior to the Effectiveness Date therefor. Such Registration Statement shall contain (except
if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of
such Registration Statement) the Plan of Distribution attached hereto as Annex A. The
Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
as soon as possible but, in any event, by its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during
the entire Effectiveness Period.
(d) If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the
Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and
comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) hereof, the Company shall not be deemed to have
satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to its required Effectiveness Date, or (iii) after its Effective Date,
without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefore, such Registration Statement ceases
for any reason to be effective and available to the Holders as to all Registrable Securities to
which it is required to cover at any time prior to the expiration of its Effectiveness Period for
more than an aggregate of 30 Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) (any such failure or
breach being referred to as an Event, and for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) the date on which
such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 30 Trading Day-period is
exceeded, being referred to as Event Date), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may
have hereunder or under applicable law: on the one-month anniversary of each such Event Date, and
on each monthly anniversary thereafter, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as
partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Investment Amount
paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement until the applicable Event is cured;
provided, however, that the aggregate maximum amount of such liquidated damages over time may not
exceed 12% of the Holders aggregate Investment Amount. The parties agree that the Company will
not be liable for liquidated damages under this Section in respect of the Warrants. If the Company
fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days
after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such
lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily
from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest
thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply
on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the
case of the first Event Date.
(e) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form
attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a Selling Holder Questionnaire). The Company
shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement
and shall not be required to pay any liquidated or other damages under Section 2(d) to any Holder
who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire
-5-
at least two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date (subject to the requirements set forth in
Section 3(a)).
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the Companys registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than four Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to each Holder
copies of the Selling Stockholders section of such document, the Plan of Distribution and any
risk factor contained in such document that addresses specifically this transaction or the Selling
Stockholders, as proposed to be filed which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder.
The Company shall not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto in which the Selling Stockholder section thereof differs from the disclosure
received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented).
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may
be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such
additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of
the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any
required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with
respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably
possible provide each Holder true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to such
Holder of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in all
material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to
the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each
Registration Statement.
(c) Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below,
not less than three Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is
proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a review
of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses
thereto to each Holder that pertains to such Holder as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of
Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and
non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration
-6-
Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or
supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings
for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for
such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial
statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement
made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to
such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any
suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration
Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person
(including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
Commission.
(f) Upon notification by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be reviewed or
is no longer subject to further review and comments, the Company shall request acceleration of such
Registration Statement such that it becomes effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such
Effective Date.
(g) Deliver to each Holder, by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day following the
Effective Date, without charge, an electronic copy of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including
each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto. The Company hereby consents to
the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders
in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, to register or qualify or (at the
selling Holders option) cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities
for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all jurisdictions within the United
States, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
-7-
effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary
or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statements.
(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the
Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase
Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as
reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to
the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or
compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any
Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and
filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required
to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in
compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing
prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone
and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act
liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all
other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its
internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and
employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities
exchange as required hereunder.
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors,
agents, investment advisors, partners, members and employees of each of them, each Person who
controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
-8-
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such
controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys fees) and expenses (collectively, Losses), as incurred,
arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but
only to the extent, that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information
regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein,
or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holders proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A
hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in
Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the
Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior
to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice (as defined in Section 6(d) below) or an amended or
supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or
the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would
have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or
assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of
the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising
solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holders failure to comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or
such Holders proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and
expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it
being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or
such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an
occurrence of an event of the type
-9-
specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective
Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or
defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented
Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended
or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been
corrected. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount
than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an Indemnified Party), such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the Indemnifying
Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party,
and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
(in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on
claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner
not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party,
-10-
as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party
(regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party
to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially
determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys or other reasonable fees or
expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would
have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section
was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that
does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually
received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to
being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any
losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
-11-
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in
Schedule 3.1(v) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security
holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the
Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall
not during the Registration Period enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its
security holders.
(c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales
of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any
event of the kind described in Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holders receipt of the
copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised
in writing (the Advice) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed,
and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration
Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this
paragraph.
(e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there
is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities (including,
but not limited to, any Additional Shares) and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account
of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than one disclosed on
Schedule 3.1(v) to the Purchase Agreement, or on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated
under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued
solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to
each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such
notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration
statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities (including, but not limited to, any
Additional Shares) such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks
applicable to all holders of registration rights.
(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this Section 6(f), may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of no less than a majority in interest of
-12-
the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to
the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such
waiver or consent relates.
(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on
the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile (provided the sender receives a machine-generated confirmation of successful
transmission) at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City

communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day
that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the
Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier

(i) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and
effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(j) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) will be commenced in the New York Courts.
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York
Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either
party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing
party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and other
costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
(k) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(l) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in
full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the
same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
-14-
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without
including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(m) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(n) Independent Nature of Investors Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of each other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in
enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party
in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been
provided with the same Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on
any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use
any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors; |
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission; |
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured
obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to
time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling
-18-
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material
arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block
trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker
or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the
participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such
the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed
to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any
investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in
writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of
Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with
applicable securities law.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances,
in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection
with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling
expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling
Stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to the
Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary
course of such Selling Stockholders business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities
such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any
person to distribute any such securities.
The Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this
Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which this
Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling
Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be
responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and
the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as
applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under
this Registration Statement.
-19-
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages
and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If the Selling Stockholders use
this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 8, 2006 Uroplasty, Inc. (AMEX: UPI) announced today that it closed a
financing transaction, principally with institutional investors, to generate gross proceeds to

Uroplasty will use the net proceeds from this transaction for expansion of the U.S. sales and
marketing organization, and to fund working capital and general corporate needs. David Kaysen,
President and CEO of Uroplasty said, This transaction gives us the flexibility to execute our
fiscal 2007 strategies to market our minimally invasive products for voiding dysfunctions the
Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System and the I STOP Mid-Urethral Sling and, outside of the U.S.,
Macroplastique® Implants as well.

pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1993, as
amended, and applicable state securities laws and are restricted securities. As such, these
shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an exemption from, or registration

***
Uroplasty, Inc., headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and
markets innovative, proprietary products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions, including
urinary and fecal incontinence, overactive bladder and vesicoureteral reflux.
The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System is a proprietary, minimally invasive nerve stimulation
device designed for office-based treatment of overactive bladder symptoms of urge incontinence,
urinary urgency and urinary frequency. Application of neuromodulation therapy targets specific
nerve tissue and disrupts the signals that lead to the symptoms of overactive bladder. Uroplasty
sells the Urgent PC system in the United States, in Canada and in countries recognizing the CE
mark. Outside the United States, the Urgent PC is also indicated for the treatment of fecal
incontinence
The I-STOP Mid-Urethral Sling is a biocompatible, tension-free sling used to treat female
stress urinary incontinence. The I-STOP sling provides a hammock-like support for the urethra to
prevent urine leakage associated with activities such as coughing, laughing, lifting or jumping.
Uroplasty sells the I-STOP Sling in the United Kingdom and in the United States.
Macroplastique® Implants, Uroplastys patented soft tissue bulking agent, is used to treat both
female and male urinary incontinence and to treat vesicoureteral reflux in children. When
Macroplastique is injected into tissue, it stabilizes and bulks the tissue, providing the
surrounding muscles with increased capability to control the flow of urine. Additionally, Uroplasty
markets soft tissue bulking agents for specific indications such as PTQ Implants for the treatment
of fecal incontinence, VOX® Implants for the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation and
Bioplastique® for augmentation or restoration of soft tissue defects in plastic surgery
indications. Uroplastys bulking products are sold outside the United States.
