"Client Confidential Information" is ------------------------------- ------------------------------- information disclosed to Employee by a client or customer ("Client") of Employer ------ or other parties involved in a business arrangement between Employer and a Client, which at the time of disclosure is (a) designated by the Client as confidential; or (b) which by its nature or by the circumstances of its disclosure reasonably should be confidential; or (c) which is subject to a confidentiality agreement between Employer and the Client; or (d) because the information disclosed is not generally known by persons other than employees or representatives of Employer and the Client. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all Client Confidential Information known or obtained by Employee, whether before or after the date of this Agreement, is the property of the Client. Therefore, Employee agrees that, at any time during or after the Employment Period, Employee shall hold in confidence the Client Confidential Information and shall not disclose it to any Person or use for his personal gain or for the benefit of any third party competitor of said Client any Client Confidential Information, whether Employee has such information in Employee's memory or embodied in writing or other physical form, except (a) to the extent that the Client Confidential Information is or becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Employee's fault or the fault of any other Person bound by a duty of confidentiality to the Client; (b) that the Client Confidential Information was independently developed by Employee prior to receipt of it from the Client; (c) with the specific prior written consent of an authorized representative of the Client or; (d) if the disclosure thereof was ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Employee agrees to deliver to Employer at any reasonable time Employer or the Client may request, all documents, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, and other documentation, models, components, devices, or computer software, whether embodied in a disk or in other form (and all copies of all of the foregoing), relating to the Client Confidential Information that Employee may then possess or have under his control. 5. Non-competition and Non-interference. ------------------------------------ 5.1 Acknowledgments by Employee. Employee acknowledges that: (a) the --------------------------- services to be performed by him under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character; (b) Employer's business is national in scope and its products and services are marketed throughout the United States; (c) Employer competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the United States; and (d) the provisions of this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect Employer's business. 13 5.2 Covenants of Employee. In consideration of the acknowledgments --------------------- by Employee, and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to Employee by Employer, Employee covenants that he will not knowingly, directly or indirectly: (a) during the Employment Period, except in the course of his employment, and during the Post-Employment Period, engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend Employee's name or any similar name to, lend Employee's credit to or render services or advice to, any business that has products or activities which compete in whole or in part with any of Employee's products or activities which existed during his employment, anywhere within the United States where Employer, at the time Employee's employment terminates, is doing business or marketing the services of Employer in the areas of healthcare information technology services that are related to planning, selecting, implementing or manufacturing general purpose computer networks and associated software for healthcare providers and consulting on or about healthcare information processing systems in the healthcare and healthcare finance industries; provided, however, that Employee may purchase or otherwise acquire -------- ------- up to (but not more than) five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For any other exceptions to this non-compete Employee must seek and obtain express permission from Employer's Board of Directors, which permission will not be unreasonably refused. (b) Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employer is currently performing and marketing the above described services through Employee in a majority of states throughout the United States, but particularly in the states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this list of states may expand during his employment such that this Section may, at the time his employment is terminated, apply to states not listed at the time this Confidentiality Agreement is executed. Employee agrees that this covenant is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Employment Period, Employee shall not be prohibited from engaging or investing in, owning, managing, operating, financing, controlling, or participating in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, being employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lending Employee's name or any similar name to, lending Employee's credit to or rendering services or advice to, any business whose products or activities do not compete with the above described services of Employer; (c) whether for Employee's own account or for the account of any other person, at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, accept, divert or solicit business of the same or similar type being carried on by Employer, from any individual or entity known to be a customer of Employer where Employee had personal contact or relationship with such individual or entity during and by reason of his employment; (d) whether for Employee's own account or the account of any other Person (i) at any time during the Employment Period and the Post-Employment Period, solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any Person who is or 14 was an employee of Employer at any time during the Employment Period or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of Employer to terminate his employment with Employer; or (ii) at any time during the Employment Period or the Post-Employment Period, interfere with Employer's relationship with any Person, including any Person who at any time during the Employment Period was an employee, contractor, supplier, or customer of Employer; or (e) at any time during or after the Employment Period, disparage Employer or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents. 5.3 For purposes of Section 5.2, the term "Post-Employment Period" ---------------------- means one (1) year after the date Employee's employment is terminated for "Cause" by Employer or is terminated without "Good Reason" by Employee as those terms are defined in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement. Employee is not bound by the non-compete provisions of Section 5.2(a) in the event Employee's employment is terminated without "Cause" or Employee terminates the Employment with Good Reason or Employment terminates as a result of Employee's "Disability" as defined in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement. Further, the Employee is not bound by the non-compete provisions of Section 5.2(a) if (i) Employee remains employed for the entire Employment Period; and (ii) the total value of Employee's equity interest (as defined in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement) does not have a minimum value of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and Employer does not agree to pay the difference between $5,000,000 and said value. 5.4 If any covenant in this Section 5 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy, will be effective, binding and enforceable against Employee. 5.5 The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 5 will be extended by the duration of any violation by Employee of such covenant. 5.6 Employee will, while the covenant under this Section 5.2 is in effect, give notice to Employer, within ten (10) days after accepting any other employment, of the identity of Employee's employer. Employer may notify such employer that Employee is bound by this Confidentiality Agreement and, at Employer's election, furnish such employer with a copy of this Confidentiality Agreement or relevant portions thereof. 6. Disputes or Controversies. Employee recognizes that should a dispute or ------------------------- controversy arising from or relating to this Confidentiality Agreement be submitted for adjudication to any court, arbitration panel or other third party, the preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information may be jeopardized. All pleadings, documents, testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication will be maintained in secrecy and, subject to the order of such court, arbitration panel or other third party, will be available for inspection by Employer, Employee, and their respective attorneys and experts, who will agree, in advance and in writing, to receive and maintain all such information in secrecy, except as may be limited by them in writing. 15 7. Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that any breach of this ----------------- Confidentiality Agreement may result in irreparable and continuing damage to Employer for which there can be no adequate remedy at law, and in the event of any such breach, Employer shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and other equitable remedies in addition to such other and further relief as may be proper. Employer's obligation to post an undertaking in support of a petition for injunction under this Section will be determined under the applicable law and in an amount to be determined by the court. 8. No Contrary Agreement. Employee represents that his performance of all --------------------- the terms of the Employment Agreement and this Confidentiality Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence any proprietary information acquired by him in confidence or in trust prior to his employment by Employer. Employee has not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Confidentiality Agreement or in conflict with the Employment Agreement. 9. Term of Employment. Nothing in this Confidentiality Agreement is ------------------ intended to describe or define the conditions under which Employee's employment may be terminated, which conditions are described in the Employment Agreement. 10. Limitation. Employee agrees that this Confidentiality Agreement does ---------- not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of his employment, and that as an employee of Employer he has obligations to Employer which are not set forth in this Confidentiality Agreement. 11. Applicable Law. Employee agrees that any dispute in the meaning, effect -------------- or validity of this Confidentiality Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the laws of Indiana without regard to the conflict of laws provisions to this Confidentiality Agreement. Employee further agrees that if one or more provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable Indiana law, such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) will be revised to make them legal and enforceable. The remainder of this Confidentiality Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. 12. Binding Nature. This Confidentiality Agreement will be effective as of -------------- the date executed and will be binding upon Employee, his heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators and will inure to the benefit of Employer, its subsidiaries, successors and assigns. Further, this Confidentiality Agreement supersedes prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings on the same subject. 13. Modification. This Confidentiality Agreement only can be modified by ------------ a subsequent written agreement executed by the Chief Executive Officer of Employer. Effective as of June 1, 2001 -------------------------------------------- Vincent Roach Signature Page to Confidentiality, Inventions and Non-Compete Agreement, Executed as of August ___, 2001, to be Effective as of the Date First Written Above 16 EXHIBIT B --------- RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT This Restricted Stock Agreement is made as of June 1, 2001, by DAOU Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Vincent Roach ("Roach"). Background Statement In connection with Roach's providing services to the Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement of even date herewith (the "Employment Agreement"), -------------------- the Company's Board of Directors has granted to Roach the right to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which are subject to a limited repurchase right (such shares, as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations and the like, are hereinafter referred to as the "Restricted Shares"), at a purchase price of $ 0.29 per share. Agreement The parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 1. Grant of Award Subject to Right of Repurchase. 1.1 Stock Award. The Company hereby agrees to issue to Roach ----------- 2,500,000 Shares of its Common Stock upon his payment to the Company of the purchase price therefor of $0.29 per share, which shall be paid through his execution and delivery of the promissory note attached hereto. The Shares shall be subject to the limitations provided below in this Section 1. 1.2 Scope of Repurchase Right. All of the Restricted Shares shall be ------------------------- subject to a limited right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company (the "Right of Repurchase"). Roach shall not transfer, assign, encumber or ------------------- otherwise dispose of any unvested Restricted Shares, except as provided in the following sentence. Roach may transfer any Restricted Shares, subject to the Right of Repurchase, (i) by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) to Roach's spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust or family limited partnership established by Roach for the benefit of Roach or Roach's spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If Roach transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Section 1 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to Roach. 1.3 Condition Precedent to Exercise. The Right of Repurchase may be ------------------------------- exercised at any time during the term hereof and for up to sixty (60) days following the termination of Employee's employment during the Employment Period as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement; provided that the Right of Repurchase shall expire with respect to all Restricted Shares in the event that during the Employment Period (i) the Company terminates Roach's employment without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement); or (ii) Roach terminates his employment with Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement); or 17 (iii) or Roach's employment terminates as a result of his Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement). 1.4 Lapse of Repurchase Right. Roach shall acquire a vested interest ------------------------- in and the Company's Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to [OBJECT OMITTED]th of the Restricted Shares upon Roach's completion of each of the next thirty-six (36) months of continuous Service after the date hereof, such that Roach would be fully vested in the Restricted Shares at the expiration of thirty-six (36) months from the date hereof. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to all remaining Restricted Shares if the Company is subject to a Change in Control during the Employment Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement) before Roach's employment terminates. 1.5 Repurchase Cost. If the Company exercises the Right of --------------- Repurchase, it shall pay Roach an amount in cash or Cash Equivalents equal to $.29 per share (equal to the purchase price) for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased. "Cash Equivalents" for purposes of this Agreement includes a ---------------- reduction of all or part of any unpaid interest and principal of the above referenced promissory note. 1.6 Exercise of Repurchase Right. The Right of Repurchase shall be ---------------------------- exercisable only by written notice delivered to Roach prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period specified in Section 1.3 above. The notice shall set forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to Roach the purchase price determined according to Subsection 1.5 above. Payment shall be made in cash (or, in the Company's sole discretion, by a reduction of any accrued and unpaid interest or unpaid principal outstanding pursuant to the promissory note). The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this Subsection 1.6. 1.7 Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the ------------------------------------------- declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) that by reason of such transaction are distributed with respect to any Restricted Shares or into which such Restricted Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. After each such transaction, appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase in order to reflect any change in the Company's outstanding securities effected without receipt of consideration therefor; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. 18 1.8 Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes ------------------------------------ available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in accordance with this Section 1, then after such time the person from whom such Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. 1.9 Escrow. The certificate(s) for Restricted Shares shall be ------ deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property described in Section 1.7 above shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time Restricted Shares. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to Roach and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Right of Repurchase or (ii) released to Roach, within ten days of Roach's request, to the extent the Shares are vested, no longer subject to the repurchase right herein and no longer pledged pursuant to that certain Stock Pledge Agreement, dated of even date herewith by and between Roach and the Company (the "Pledge Agreement") (but not more frequently than once every six (6) months). In any event, all Shares that have vested (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) and are no longer subject to the repurchase right and no longer pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, shall be released within sixty (60) days after Roach's cessation of Service. 2. Representations of Roach. Roach hereby represents, warrants, ------------------------ acknowledges, and agrees that Roach has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations. 3. Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents, ------------------------------ warrants, acknowledges, and agrees that: 3.1 The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

The Company need not give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any government or governmental agency in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 3.2 Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which the Company is subject. 3.3 When issued upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and paid for as contemplated by this Agreement), the Shares will be validly issued and fully paid and 19 nonassessable, with no personal liability attached to the ownership thereof and not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company. 4. Miscellaneous. ------------- 4.1 Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public ---------------- offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, Roach shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company's managing underwriter, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock of the Company ("Stock") or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by Roach or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed ninety (90) days. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities that are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any shares of Stock subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Stock until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company's underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the Agreement set forth in this Section 4.1. Roach shall be subject to this Subsection 4.1 only if all of the directors, officers and any five percent (5%) or greater shareholders of the Company are subject to similar arrangements. 4.2 Rights of the Company. The Company shall not be required to (i) --------------------- transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in contravention of this Agreement or (ii) treat as the owner of Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement. 4.3 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided ---------------------- to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and be binding upon Roach and Roach's legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of law, whether or not any such person has become a party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof. 4.4 No Retention of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer ---------------------- upon Roach any right to continue his employment for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Roach) to terminate Roach's employment at any time and for any reason, with or 20 without cause, or of Roach under any other Agreement between Roach and the Company, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each. 4.5 Tax Election. Subjecting the Shares to a Right of Repurchase may ------------ result in adverse tax consequences that may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such election may be filed only within thirty (30) days after the date of purchase. Roach should consult with Roach's tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of subjecting the Shares to a Right of Repurchase and the advantages and disadvantages of filing the Code Section 83(b) election. Roach acknowledges that it is Roach's sole responsibility, and not the Company's, to file a timely election under Code Section 83(b), even if Roach requests the Company or its representatives to make this filing Roach's behalf. 4.6 Legend. All certificates evidencing Restricted Shares shall ------ bear the following legends: "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO COMPANY CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE." 4.7 Notice.

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are ------------ held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 4.12 Counterparts.

Pledgor: By: ------------------------------------------ Vincent Roach The Company DAOU Systems, Inc. By: ------------------------------------------ Name: ---------------------------------------- Its: ----------------------------------------- Signature Page to Stock Pledge Agreement, Executed August __, 2001, to be Effective as of the Date First Written Above 33 EXHIBIT 4 to RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT --------------------------------------- REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT This Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2001, is among DAOU Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Vincent Roach (the "Investor")." RECITALS WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor are parties to that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated June 1, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into an agreement concerning the registration of the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows: Article I REGISTRATION RIGHTS 1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) the term "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document; (b) the term "Registrable Securities" means the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which such person's rights under this Article I are not assigned; (c) the number of shares of "Registrable Securities then outstanding" will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which are Registrable Securities; (d) the term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable Securities or any permitted assignee thereof; and (e) the term "Form S-1" means such form under the Act as in effect on the date of this Agreement or any registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC. 34 1.2 Form S-1 Registration. As soon as reasonably practicable after the written request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall file with the SEC one or more Registration Statements on Form S-1 (or other similar form) covering the continuous sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor thereto (each, a "Shelf Registration Statement"), in the manner specified therein. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after its filing with the SEC, and upon reasonable notice from a Holder (and in any event no less than ten (10) days) that the Holder intends to sell pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will file such amendments and supplements as necessary to update the Shelf Registration Statement so that it will be effective for any such sale of Registrable Securities until the earlier of (x) such time as all of the Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or (y) each Holder is able to sell within any ninety (90) day period all Registrable Securities owned by such Holder pursuant to SEC Rules as then in effect, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor thereto ("SEC Rule 144") (the "Effective Period"); provided that in the event that Company determines in good faith that, because it has under consideration a significant (as defined under Regulation S-X of the SEC) acquisition or disposition or other material transaction or corporate event that has not been publicly disclosed or that it is in the process of preparing for filing with the SEC an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K or other form, a Shelf Registration Statement may contain a material misstatement or omission, the Company may cause such Shelf Registration Statement to not be used during the period in question. The Company agrees it will use its best efforts to ensure that such deferral will be for the shortest period of time reasonably required not exceeding, in the aggregate, ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period. 1.3 Company Registration. In the event that (i) the Company fails to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 1.2 or (ii) for any period of not less than thirty (30) consecutive days a Shelf Registration Statement may not be used for any reason, and if (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, or a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company will, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5, the Company will cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. 35 1.4 Obligations of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Agreement, whenever required under this Article I to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement. (b) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them. (c) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as will be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company will not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 1.5 Furnish Information. It will be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article I with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, the intended method of disposition of such securities and all of the other pertinent information as will be required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities. 1.6 Expenses of Registration. Subject to restrictions under applicable state securities laws, all expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel representing the Holders will be borne by the Company. 1.7 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article I: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its directors and each of its officers, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, 36 damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, or the Exchange Act; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, director, officer, underwriter or controlling person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 1.7(a) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), nor will the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, director, officer, underwriter or controlling person. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act or the Exchange Act insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Subsection 1.7(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 1.7(b) will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event will any indemnity under this Subsection 1.7(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering net of sales commission, if any, received by such Holder. 37 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party will have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party (which shall not unreasonably withhold its approval); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) will have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party is inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, will relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.7. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party to this Agreement, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.7 will survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Article I, and otherwise. 1.8 Reports Under 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to 38 sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-1, the Company will: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times; (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. 1.9 Rule 144 Availability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above in this Article I, prior to exercising any right provided for in this Article I each Holder will (i) evaluate in good faith whether such Holder is otherwise permitted to sell the entire amount of Registrable Securities it is then seeking to register within the time period it desires to sell pursuant to Rule 144 of the Exchange Act, or any successor regulation thereto and (ii) exercise such rights only in the case that it determines in good faith that such rights are necessary to sell such Registrable Securities in a timely manner.
