                         LEDH contributed assets and cash in exchange for 318,574,665 shares of Common Stock of the issuer and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the issuer.

                         See Item 5 below for information with respect to the LEDH Members.


Item 4.             Purpose of Transaction

                         LEDH acquired the Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock of the issuer described above pursuant to an Exchange and Contribution Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2007.

                         In connection with the Exchange and Contribution Agreement, the issuer and LEDH entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 4, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which provides that the issuer is required to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock within sixty (60) days after the receipt of a request from LEDH that the issuer file the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the issuer has the right to defer such demand for up to thirty (30) days if the issuer furnishes a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the issuer, it would be materially detrimental to the issuer and its stockholders for the Registration Statement to be effected at such time.

                         In connection with the Exchange and Contribution Agreement, the issuer entered into a Stockholder Voting Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2007, by and among the issuer, LEDH and certain stockholders (the “Voting Agreement”). The Voting Agreement governs the voting of stock held by LEDH and such stockholders in the election of members of the Board of Directors and has a term of two years. The Voting Agreement provides that the Board of Directors of the issuer is to consist of nine directors with: (i) four persons designated by the holders of the majority of the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) four persons designated by the Board of Directors and (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the issuer. The Voting Agreement also provides for the manner in which vacancies on the Board of Directors are to be filled.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LED

LED hereby represents and warrants to LSG, as of the Closing Date, as follows:

     4.01 Organization; Qualification; Subsidiaries. (a) LED and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite company or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where any such failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing or to have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an LED Material Adverse Effect. LED and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for any such failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an LED Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Schedule 4.01(b) sets forth for each Subsidiary of LED (i) its name and jurisdiction of organization, (ii) the number of shares of authorized capital stock of each class of its capital stock, (iii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock, the names of the holders thereof, and the number of shares held by each such holder, and (iv) the number of shares of its capital stock held in treasury. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of LED have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. There are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights, or other Contracts or commitments that could require any of LED and its Subsidiaries to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries or that could require any Subsidiary of LED to issue, sell, or otherwise cause to become outstanding any of its own capital stock. There are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit participation, or similar rights with respect to any Subsidiary of LED. There are no voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of any capital stock of any Subsidiary of LED. Schedule 4.01(b) also sets forth all interests of LED and its Subsidiaries in Persons other than the Subsidiaries of LED (the “LED Investments”).

Except for the Subsidiaries and other Persons set forth in Schedule 4.01(b), neither LED nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any outstanding capital stock of, or other equity interests in, any Person.

There is no material default under any LED Material Contract by LED or any of its Subsidiaries, and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a default thereunder by LED or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (b) LED and its Subsidiaries hold all Permits that are necessary or advisable for them to own their assets and to operate their businesses as currently conducted, except where the failure to hold such Permits has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, an LED Material Adverse Effect. All such Permits are in full force and effect and, to LED’s Knowledge, no suspension or cancellation of any of them is being threatened.

          (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.09(b), neither LED nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice, report or other information regarding any actual or alleged violation of any Environmental Law or any Environmental Damages or potential Environmental Damages, including any investigatory, remedial or corrective obligations, relating to the operation of the business of LED or any of its Subsidiaries or any condition on, under or about the LED Leased Property or any former owned or operated sites and facilities of LED or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses. Neither LED nor any of its Subsidiaries has treated, stored, disposed of, arranged for or permitted the disposal of, transported, handled, or released any substance, including any Hazardous Substance, upon the LED Leased Real Property or former owned or operated sites in a manner that has given or would give rise to material Environmental Damages. There has been no release or threat of release (as the term “release” is defined by CERCLA) of any Hazardous Substance on, to, from or about any property currently or formerly owned or operated by LED or any of its Subsidiaries or from any operations of LED or any of its Subsidiaries.

18


Person, pursuant to any of the so-called “transaction-triggered” or “responsible property transfer” Environmental Laws.

          (e) LED has provided or made available to LSG copies of all environmental reports in LED’s possession or control regarding the LED Leased Real Property or any former owned or operated sites and facilities of LED and each of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses.

     4.10 Employees; Labor Matters. (a) Schedule 4.10(a) contains an accurate list of the names, titles, dates of hire or dates of service, rates of compensation and remuneration of any kind, and any unused accrued vacation, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement of all employees, officers, directors and independent contractors (other than professional service advisors) of, and consultants to, LED or any of its Subsidiaries and/or their respective businesses (all such individuals, the “LED Service Providers”). To LED’s Knowledge, no executive, key employee, key independent contractor or significant group of employees has any plans to terminate his or her employment or engagement with LED or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10(a), the services provided by the LED Service Providers are terminable at will by LED or its Subsidiaries at no cost or expense to LED or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither LED nor its subsidiaries are party to an employment contract with such LED Service Providers.

           (b) Neither LED nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement or similar agreement with any labor organization or employee association covering the terms and conditions of any employee or employee group of LED or its Subsidiaries. There has not been, nor is there pending or, to the Knowledge of LED, threatened any labor dispute between LED or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any labor organization, on the other hand, or any strike, slowdown, jurisdictional dispute, work stoppage or other similar organized labor activity involving any employee of LED or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting LED or any of its Subsidiaries.

All former and current employees of LED or any of its Subsidiaries have provided the necessary information and documentation from which to file current, effective Employment Eligibility Verifications (INS Form I-9’s) for each such employee and neither LED nor any of its Subsidiaries has any information or other reason to believe that any of such supplied information or documentation is in any manner false, fraudulent or in any other manner not genuine. LED and its Subsidiaries have in all other respects complied with its obligations under the

19


Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as amended, and with all other applicable Laws pertaining to the employment or termination of employment of such employees, including all such Laws relating to labor relations, equal employment opportunity, fair employment practices, wages and hours, occupational safety and other workplace regulations and activities.

     4.13 Intellectual Property.

          (a) Schedule 4.13 contains a summary description of every U.S. or foreign patent, both utility and design, along with pending applications (“Patents”), owned by LED or any of its Subsidiaries and the owner of each such Patent. All such Patents which have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office are currently in material compliance with all formal legal requirements (including recordation of assignments) and are not subject to any maintenance fees or Taxes or Actions falling due within 90 days after the Closing Date. To the Knowledge of LED, no facts or circumstances have occurred which, individually or in the aggregate, would render any Patent invalid and/or unenforceable. No Patent required to be listed on Schedule 4.13, has been or is now involved in any opposition, invalidation, or cancellation and, to LED’s Knowledge, no such Action is threatened with respect to any such Patent. All products and materials under such Patent bear the proper legal notice where permitted by Law.

          (b) Schedule 4.13 lists each trademark, service mark, trade dress, product configuration, trade name (“Mark”) that is material to the business of LED or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted and used to identify LED products by LED or any of its Subsidiaries in the United States or worldwide and the owner of each such Mark. All Marks listed and which have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office have been in continuous use since their respective first uses, are currently in material compliance with all formal legal requirements (including, as applicable, the timely post-registration filing of affidavits of use and incontestability and renewal applications), and are not subject to any maintenance fees or Taxes falling due within 90 days after the Closing Date. To the Knowledge of LED, no facts or circumstances have occurred which, individually or in the aggregate, would render any Mark required to be listed invalid and/or unenforceable. No Mark required to be listed on Schedule 4.13 has been or is now involved in any opposition, invalidation, or cancellation and, to LED’s Knowledge, no such Action is threatened with respect to any such Mark. All products and materials containing such a Mark bear the proper legal notice where permitted by Law.

          (c) Schedule 4.13 lists each material copyright registration and each material unregistered copyright owned by LED or any of its Subsidiaries and the owner of each such copyright. All copyrights required to be listed on Schedule 4.13 that have been registered are currently in material compliance with formal legal requirements and are not subject to any maintenance fees or Taxes falling due within 90 days after the Closing Date. To the Knowledge

22


of LED, no facts or circumstances have occurred which, individually or in the aggregate, would render any material copyright registration or material unregistered copyright required to be listed invalid and/or unenforceable. All works encompassed by such copyrights have been marked with the proper copyright notices. After Closing, subject to existing Contracts, LSG will have the exclusive right to use all such copyrights and there are no third-party rights to such copyrights that will materially interfere with LSG’s ownership and exclusive use of such copyrights.

          (d) Schedule 4.13 lists all Software used in connection with the operation of the business of each of LED and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted and developed by LED or any of its Subsidiaries and the owner of such Software. After Closing, LSG will have at least a non-exclusive right to use all such Software. Such Software may contain code that was not specifically written or developed for use in such Software (“Preexisting Code”). To the Knowledge of LED, there are no third-party rights to such Preexisting Code that will materially interfere with LSG’s use of such Software.

          (e) Schedule 4.13 lists each category of trade secret and know how (“Trade Secret”) created, produced, developed, and/or used by LED or any of its Subsidiaries and the owner of each such Trade Secret. With respect to each such Trade Secret, the documentation relating to such Trade Secret is current and accurate in all material respects. To LED’s knowledge, its Trade Secrets are sufficiently secret to confer an actual or potential economic advantage upon one who possesses the information. LED and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable precautions to protect such Trade Secret’s secrecy, confidentiality, and value. To the Knowledge of LED, no such Trade Secret is part of the public knowledge or literature or has been used, divulged or appropriated either for the benefit of any third person or to LED’s and its Subsidiaries’ detriment. No such Trade Secret is subject to any adverse claim nor, to LED’s Knowledge, has any adverse claim been threatened with respect to any such Trade Secret and there is no basis therefor.

          (f) LED and its Subsidiaries own all material LED Intellectual Property rights or, to the Knowledge of LED, have the right to use pursuant to an enforceable Contract all material LED Intellectual Property rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, each LED Intellectual Property right immediately prior to the Closing will be owned or available for use by LSG on substantially identical terms and conditions immediately subsequent to the Closing. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.13(f) shall not apply to infringement by LED of any third party’s Intellectual Property rights, or any liabilities or Actions relating to or alleging the same.

          (g) LED and its Subsidiaries have delivered to LSG correct and complete copies of all material written documentation evidencing ownership and prosecution (if applicable) of each LED Intellectual Property right required to be listed in Schedules 4.13(a)-(d). With respect to Intellectual Property owned by LED and its Subsidiaries, LED has disclosed to LSG all information known to LED which is relevant to or could impact the protectability or enforceability of its Intellectual Property. With respect to each such LED Intellectual Property right: (i) except for grants of rights made to third parties in Contracts, LED and its Subsidiaries

23


possess all right, title, and interest in and to the item, free and clear of any Encumbrance; (ii) the item is not subject to any outstanding order by a Governmental Authority; and (iii) no Action is pending or, to the Knowledge of LED, threatened (and there is no basis therefore) which challenges the enforceability, use, or ownership of the item.

          (h) To LED’S Knowledge, LED and its Subsidiaries have not infringed upon or misappropriated any other Person’s Intellectual Property rights, and LED and its Subsidiaries, except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, and have never received any notice alleging any such infringement or misappropriation of any other Person’s Intellectual Property right (including any claim that LED or any of its Subsidiaries must license or refrain from using any other Person’s Intellectual Property rights).

          (i) Schedule 4.13 identifies each item of Intellectual Property, other than commercially available Software, that any other Person owns and that LED or any of its Subsidiaries uses as a material portion of any product currently sold by LED or any of its Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.13 identifies each material Contract pursuant to which LED or any of its Subsidiaries have granted to any Person rights under or with respect to any of their Intellectual Property (together with any exceptions) that is now in effect. LED and its Subsidiaries have made available to LSG correct and complete copies of all such Contracts with respect to such use, as amended through the date hereof. With respect to the Contracts related to each item of Intellectual Property required to be identified in Schedule 4.13, the statements in clauses (i) - (vii) below are true and correct:

(i)      except as otherwise indicated in Schedule 4.13, the Contract will not be terminated or rendered amended or supplemented as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
 
(ii)      to the Knowledge of LED, no counter-party is in breach of such Contract, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time would constitute a breach thereunder;
 
(iii)      no party to the Contract has repudiated any provision thereof;
 
(iv)      with respect to each sublicense Contract, to the Knowledge of LED, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.13(i)(i) - 4.135(i)(iii) are true and correct with respect to the underlying license Contract;
 
(v)      the underlying item of Intellectual Property is not subject to any outstanding order by a Governmental Authority;
 
(vi)      no Action is pending or, to LED’S Knowledge, threatened (and there is no basis therefore) which challenges the enforceability of the underlying item of Intellectual Property; and
 

24


(vii)     
LED and its Subsidiaries have not granted any sublicense or similar Contract with respect to such Contract.

          (j) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, there are no Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) outstanding on the LED Intellectual Property rights.

          (k) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, all former and current employees of LED and its Subsidiaries have executed written Contracts with LED and its Subsidiaries that assign to LED and its Subsidiaries all Intellectual Property created by such employees relating to the business of LED and each of its Subsidiaries, including without limitation, all rights to any inventions, improvements, discoveries, or information. No employee of LED or its Subsidiaries has entered into any Contract that restricts or limits in any material way the scope or type of work in which such employee may be engaged or requires such employee to transfer, assign, or disclose information concerning his or her work to any Person other than LED and its Subsidiaries, except as may be required by Law.

     4.14 LED Financial Statements. Set forth on Schedule 4.14 are the unaudited consolidated financial statements of LED Effects and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the period beginning January 1, 2007 and ended June 13, 2007, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of LED and its Subsidiaries for the period from June 14, 2007 through August 31, 2007 (collectively, the “LED Financial Statements”).

EXHIBIT 4.2          

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
PREFERRED STOCK
OF
LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORPORATION

To Be Designated
Series B Preferred Stock
___________

Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
___________

          The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), at a meeting duly convened and held, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout:

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation which shall consist of 2,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock be, and the same hereby is, authorized; and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation be, and he hereby is, authorized and directed to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferred Stock of the Corporation fixing the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Corporation’s preferred stock), as follows:

          1.           Number of Shares; Designation. A total of 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation are hereby designated as Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series”). Shares of the Series (“Preferred Shares”) will be issued pursuant to the terms of an Exchange and Contribution Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2007 by and among the Corporation and LED Holdings, LLC (the “Exchange and Contribution Agreement”), a copy of which will be provided to any stockholder of the Corporation upon request therefor. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Exchange and Contribution Agreement.

          2.           Rank. The Series shall, with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, rank:

           (i)          

Senior and prior to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Corporation and are designated in the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock which are junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the

 

1


EXHIBIT 4.2          

   

Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Junior Liquidation Shares.”

 
           (ii)         

Pari passu with the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the “6% Preferred”) and any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Corporation and are designated in the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking equal to the Preferred Shares or which do not state they are Junior Liquidation Shares or Senior Liquidation Shares (as defined below). Any shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock which are equal to the Preferred Shares with respect rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Parity Liquidation Shares.”

 
  (iii)

Junior to any additional series of preferred stock which may in the future be issued by the Corporation and are designated in the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing such additional preferred stock as ranking senior to the Preferred Shares. Any shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock which are senior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights (including to redemption payments) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation are hereinafter referred to as “Senior Liquidation Shares.”

          3.           Dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Preferred Shares from funds legally available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors. The Series shall, with respect to the payment of dividends, rank pari passu with the Common Stock; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt the 6% accrual on the Preferred Shares payable upon a Liquidation Event shall nonetheless have the priority set forth in paragraph 4 below.

          4.           Liquidation.

          (a)          The liquidation value per Preferred Share, in case of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, shall be an amount equal to (i) $7.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar event applicable to the Series, plus (ii) an amount accruing at the rate of 6% per annum on the Purchase Price, from the date of original issuance and compounding annually (the sum of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation Value”).

          (b)          In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation Event”), the Holders (i) shall not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Value of the shares held by them until the liquidation value of all Senior Liquidation Shares shall have been paid in full, and (ii) shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Value of such shares held by them in preference to and in priority over any distributions upon the Junior Liquidation Shares. Upon payment in full of the Liquidation Value to which the Holders are entitled, the Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Value payable to the Holders and the liquidation value payable to the holders of any Parity Liquidation Shares, the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in accordance with the amounts that would be payable on the distribution if the amounts to which the Holders and the holders of Parity Liquidation Shares are entitled were paid in full.

          (c)          For purposes of this paragraph 4, a Change of Control shall be treated as a Liquidation Event and shall entitle each Holder to receive, upon the consummation of such Change of Control, and at

2


EXHIBIT 4.2          

such Holder’s option, cash in an amount equal to the Liquidation Value of such Holder’s Preferred Shares.

          (d)          The Corporation shall, no later than the date on which a Liquidation Event occurs, deliver in accordance with the notice provisions of the Exchange and Contribution Agreement written notice of any Liquidation Event, stating the payment date or dates when and the place or places where the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, not less than 30 days prior to any payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

          5.           Conversion.

          (a)          Right to Convert. Each Holder shall have the right to convert, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) as is determined in accordance with the terms hereof (a “Conversion”).

          (b)          Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Holder shall send to the Corporation by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 3:00 p.m., central time, on the Business Day (as used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, Sunday or day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Texas is closed in the ordinary course of business) on which such Holder wishes to effect such Conversion (the “Conversion Date”), a notice of conversion in substantially the form attached as Annex I hereto (a “Conversion Notice”), stating the number of Preferred Shares to be converted, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion in accordance with the formula set forth in paragraph 5(c) below setting forth the basis for each component thereof, including the details relating to any adjustments made to the Conversion Price. The Holder shall promptly thereafter send the Conversion Notice and the certificate or certificates being converted to the Corporation. The Corporation shall issue a new certificate for Preferred Shares to the Holder in the event that less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided, however, that the failure of the Corporation to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the right of the Holder to submit a further Conversion Notice with respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Holder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Conversion Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, such Holder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion Notice relates. In the case of a dispute between the Corporation and a Holder as to the calculation of the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a Conversion (including, without limitation, the calculation of any adjustment to the Conversion Price following any adjustment thereof), the Corporation shall issue to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed within the time periods specified in paragraph 5(d) below and shall submit the disputed calculations to a certified public accounting firm of national reputation (other than the Corporation’s regularly retained accountants) within two (2) Business Days following the Corporation’s receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice. The Corporation shall cause such accountant to calculate the Conversion Price as provided herein and to notify the Corporation and such Holder of the results in writing no later than three (3) Business Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed calculations (the “Dispute Procedure”). Such accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of such accountant.

3


EXHIBIT 4.2          

          (c)          Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Corporation to a Holder for each Preferred Share pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by dividing (i) the Purchase Price (for the avoidance of doubt, not including the 6% accrual on the Preferred Shares payable upon a Liquidation Event) by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issued shall never, when combined with all other then outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock which have been subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued, exceed the number of shares of Common Stock then authorized to be issued by the Corporation, and in the event that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock authorized to permit the full Conversion contemplated by any Conversion Notice, the Corporation will promptly take all such actions necessary so as to permit the full Conversion contemplated by such Conversion Notice as soon as practicable after receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice.

          (d)          Delivery of Conversion Shares. The Corporation shall, no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the later of the date on which the Corporation receives a Conversion Notice from a Holder by facsimile transmission pursuant to paragraph 5(b), above, and the date on which the Corporation receives the related Preferred Shares certificate (such third Business Day, the “Delivery Date”), issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph 5(c) above; provided, however, that any Conversion Shares that are the subject of a Dispute Procedure shall be delivered no later than the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant thereto.

          (e)          Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

           (i)          

In the event that the Corporation shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Corporation, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of each share of the Series thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had such share of the Series been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 5(e)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clauses (ii) and (iii) below.

 
  (ii)

In the event that the Corporation shall issue or distribute New Securities pursuant to an issuance or distribution approved by a majority of the directors nominated by stockholders other than the Holders, in any such case at a price per share less than the Current Market Price or that would entitle the holders of the New Securities to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than Current Market Price per share

 

4


   

(provided that the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of New Securities that are rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities (“New Derivative Securities”) will not cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price if no such adjustment would have been required at the time such New Derivative Security was issued), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price at which the Corporation issues or distributes such New Securities (or the price at which the holders of the New Securities are entitled to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock). Each such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such New Securities are issued. In determining whether any New Derivative Securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such New Derivative Securities, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a certificate filed with the records of corporate proceedings of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an adjustment be made under this clause (ii) if such adjustment would result in raising the then-effective Conversion Price.

 
           (iii)        

No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this paragraph 5(e)(iii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph 5(e) shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.

 
  (iv)

In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph 5(e)(i) through 5(e)(iii) above, the holder of any share of the Series thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation other than shares of the Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any share of the Series shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in paragraphs 5(e)(i) through 5(e)(iii) above, and the other provisions of this paragraph 5(e) with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

          (f)          In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than in a transaction to which paragraph 5(e)(i) applies), any consolidation of the Corporation with, or merger of the Corporation into, any other entity, any merger of another entity into the Corporation (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation), any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which share exchange the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the holder of each share of the Series then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such share shall be convertible, to convert such share only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which a share of the Series might have been converted immediately prior to the reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange assuming that such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property

5


EXHIBIT 4.2          

receivable upon consummation of such transaction, subject to adjustment as provided in paragraph 5(e) above following the date of consummation of such transaction. As a condition to any such transaction, the Corporation or the person formed by the consolidation or resulting from the merger or which acquires such assets or which acquires the Corporation’s shares, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to (i) establish such right and (ii) ensure that any such transaction does not, in and of itself, effect the holders’ rights to the Liquidation Value. The certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this paragraph 5. The provisions of this paragraph 5(f) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

           (g)         

If:

 
  (i)

the Corporation shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph 5(e); or

 
  (ii)

the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock generally of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights, warrants or options; or

 
  (iii)

there shall be any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock or a change in par value) or any consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or

 
  (iv)

there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;

then, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder in accordance with the notice provisions of the Exchange and Contribution Agreement, as promptly as possible, but at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights, warrants or options are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this paragraph 5(g).

          (h)         The Corporation shall promptly cause a notice of the adjusted Conversion Price to be delivered to each Holder.

          (i)           In any case in which paragraph 5(e) provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event and the date fixed for such adjustment pursuant to paragraph

6


EXHIBIT 4.2          

5(e) occurs after such record date but before the occurrence of such event, the Corporation may defer until the actual occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment.

          (j)          Subject to the proviso set forth in paragraph 5(c) hereof, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the shares of the Series the maximum number of each of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock, or any other actions necessary or desirable, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series.

          6.           Status of Shares. All Preferred Shares that are at any time converted pursuant to paragraph 5 above, and all Preferred Shares that are otherwise reacquired by the Corporation and subsequently canceled by the Board of Directors, shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissuance.

          7.           Voting Rights. Each share of the Series shall entitle the holder thereof to 3.5 votes for each Conversion Share into which such share of the Series is then Convertible, which on the initial date of issuance of the Preferred Shares shall equal, when combined with the shares of Common Stock held by the initial Holder on the initial date of issuance of the Preferred Shares, in the aggregate not less than 80% of the total votes of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock (except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law), voting together with the Common Stock as a single class and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted, and any fractional voting rights (after aggregating all shares into which shares of the Series held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

          8.           Restrictions and Limitations.

          So long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class:

           (i)          

Redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for value (or pay into or set aside for a sinking or other analogous fund for such purpose) any share or shares of its Capital Stock, except for (a) a transaction in which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are concurrently redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired, (b) conversion into or exchange for shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation that are both (x) Junior Liquidation Shares, and (y) no greater than pari passu with the Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, or (c) the redemption of the 6% Preferred when due pursuant to the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares at cost or at cost plus interest at a rate not to exceed nine percent

 

7


EXHIBIT 4.2          

 

            
(9%) per annum, or, if lower than cost, at fair market value, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment; and provided further, that the total amount applied to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock shall not exceed $100,000 during any twelve month period;
     
  (ii)         

alter, modify or amend (whether by merger or otherwise) the terms of the Series in any way;

     
  (iii)

create (whether by merger or otherwise) any new series or class of Capital Stock ranking pari passu with or having a preference over the Series as to redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event;

 
  (iv)

increase (whether by merger or otherwise) the authorized number of shares of the Series;

 
  (v)

re-issue (whether by merger or otherwise) any Preferred Shares which have been converted in accordance with the terms hereof;

 
  (vi)

issue (whether by merger or otherwise) any securities of the Corporation ranking pari passu with or senior to Preferred Shares as to rights upon a Liquidation Event;

 
  (vii)

issue (whether by merger or otherwise) any shares of the Series except pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and Contribution Agreement;

 
  (viii)

enter into any definitive agreement or commitment with respect to any of the foregoing; or

 
  (ix)

cause or permit any Subsidiary to engage in or enter into any definitive agreement or commitment with respect to any of the foregoing.

          WHEREAS, each capitalized term used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning as set forth in the Exchange Agreement.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, in and as consideration of and for the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, agreements, and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

          1.          Voting.

          2.          Board of Directors.

          (a)           Voting. The Board of Directors of LSG (the “Board of Directors”) shall consist of nine (9) directors. For as long as any shares of LSG Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, each of the Stockholders and LED agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by such Person, in such a manner as may be necessary to elect as members of the Board of Directors the following individuals:

          (b)           Vacancies. In the event that any Common Director is removed for cause, resigns or is otherwise unable or unwilling to serve as a director of LSG prior to the expiration of the term of such Common Director, the holders of the LSG Series B Preferred Stock will take such action necessary to cause the election or appointment of a replacement director designated by the remaining Common Directors to fill the vacancy and serve as a director of LSG for the unexpired term of such Common Director.

The number of Shares set forth opposite the name of such Stockholder on Schedule A or LED on Schedule B hereto represents all of the shares of capital stock of LSG beneficially owned by such Stockholder or LSG as of the date of this Agreement. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder or LED, and the certificates representing such Shares are now, and at all times during the term hereof shall be, held by such Stockholder or LED, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of such Stockholder or LED, free and clear of all liens, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other rights whatsoever, except for any such liens or proxies arising hereunder.

          (b)           Power; Binding Agreement. Such Stockholder or LED has the power and authority to enter into and perform all of such Stockholder’s or LED’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder or LED and, assuming due execution and delivery by, and enforceability against such Stockholder or LED, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Stockholder or LED, enforceable against such Stockholder or LED in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by any equitable defense. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which such Stockholder or LED is a trustee,

2


or any party to any other agreement or arrangement, whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by such Stockholder or LED of the transactions contemplated thereby.

          (c)           Consents; No Conflicts. No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder or LED, the consummation by such Stockholder or LED of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by such Stockholder or LED with the provisions hereof and none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder or LED, the consummation by such Stockholder or LED of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by such Stockholder or LED with any of the provisions hereof, except in cases in which any conflict, breach, default or violation described below would not interfere with the ability of such Stockholder or LED to perform such Stockholder’s or LED’s obligations hereunder, shall (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any organizational documents applicable to LED, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, loan agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind, including, without limitation, any voting agreement, proxy arrangement, pledge agreement, stockholders agreement or voting trust, to which such Stockholder or LED is a party or by which such Stockholder or LED or any properties or assets of such Stockholder or LED may be bound, or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or LED or any properties or assets of such Stockholder or LED.

          4.          Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing.

          5.          No Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Stockholder that is or has been designated as a member of the Board of Directors, or any designee of LED to the Board of Directors, from taking any action solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors or from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as a member of such Board of Directors.

          6.          Miscellaneous.

          (a)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

          (b)           Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each Stockholder (in the case of an assignment by LED) or LED (in the case of an assignment by any Stockholder); provided, however, that LED may assign the rights and obligations of LED hereunder to any affiliate or subsidiary of LED, but no such assignment shall relieve LED of the obligations of LED hereunder.

          (c)           Successors and Assigns. Without limiting any other rights LED or the Stockholders may have hereunder in respect of any transfer of any Shares, each Stockholder and

At any time and from time to time the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities held by the Investor or the transferees of the Investor (determined on a fully diluted basis, i.e., assuming the conversion of all Registrable Securities consisting of Preferred Stock, the “Majority-in-Interest”), may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”). Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company shall promptly notify all holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder's Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of Registrable Securities.

          2.1.2 Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration registering all of the Registrable Securities specified in the notice received pursuant to Section 2.1.1, determined on the basis described in Section 2.1.1, has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a Majority-in-Interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

          2.1.3 Reduction of Offering. If the Company chooses to engage in an underwritten public offering of a Demand Registration and if the managing underwriter or

3


underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of securities that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of securities held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

          2.1.4 Withdrawal. If a Majority-in-Interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such Majority-in-Interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the Majority-in-Interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.1.

     2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

          2.2.1 Piggy-Back Rights. Except with respect to the registration statements filed or to be filed under Rule 415 pursuant to either: (i) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2005, between the Company and the Purchasers listed on Exhibit A thereto or (ii) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2007, between LSG and the investors party thereto, if at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option

4


or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a PiggyBack Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

          2.2.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of securities which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

               (i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company's account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, that are Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

5


               (ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of Persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

          2.2.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder's request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

     2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder's or holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company, if any, of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.

3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

     3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

          3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

          3.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders' legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

          3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.

7


          3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an 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 not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall object.

          3.1.5 State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

          3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable

8


Securities included in such registration statement. No holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect to such holder's organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder's material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement. Holders of Registrable Securities shall agree to such covenants and indemnification and contribution obligations for selling stockholders as are customarily contained in agreements of that type. Further, such holders shall cooperate fully in the preparation of the Registration Statement and other documents relating to any offering in which they include securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Each holder shall also furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by such holder, as applicable, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities.

          3.1.7 Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.

          3.1.8 Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

          3.1.9 Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any Underwriter and (ii) any comfort letter from the Company's independent public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.

          3.1.10 Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the registration statement,

9


which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

          3.1.11 Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

     3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company's securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company's securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder's possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

     3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, and any registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Company's internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a Majority-in-Interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an

10


underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

     3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company's obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

     4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by the selling holder with which such Investor Indemnified Party is affiliated expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each Person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.

     4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling

11


holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other Person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such indemnification obligation.

     4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the

12


prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

     4.4 Contribution.

          4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

          4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.

     5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities

13


Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

     6.1 Other Registration Rights.
