EX-10.2 7 k05737exv10w2.txt REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT WITH BARRON PARTNERS, LP Exhibit 10.2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as of 18th day of May, 2006 by and among FAMILY HOME HEALTH SERVICES INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada ("FYHH" or the "COMPANY"), and Barron Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter referred to as the "INVESTOR"). Unless defined otherwise, capitalized terms herein shall have the identical meaning as in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT WHEREAS, pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, by and among the Company and the Investor, as part of the consideration, Investor shall receive Preferred Stock and Warrants, which upon conversion and exercise, in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant Agreement, entitle the Investor to receive Shares of the Company; and WHEREAS, the ability of the Investor to sell its Shares of Common Stock is subject to certain restrictions under the 1933 Act; and WHEREAS, as a condition to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the Investor with a mechanism that will permit such Investor to sell its Shares of Common Stock in the future. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements, and subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE I INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE, SUPERSEDER 1.1 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. The foregoing recitals and the Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein, are hereby acknowledged to be true and accurate, and are incorporated herein by this reference. 1.2 SUPERSEDER. This Agreement, to the extent that it is inconsistent with any other instrument or understanding among the parties governing the affairs of the Company, shall supersede such instrument or understanding to the fullest extent permitted by law. A copy of this Agreement shall be filed at the Company's principal office. ARTICLE II DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS 2.1 REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. Means and includes the Shares of the Company underlying the Preferred Stock and Warrants issued pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities will cease to be Registrable Securities when (a) they have been effectively registered under the 1933 Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering them, (b) they are or may be freely traded without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act (or any similar provisions that are then in effect), or (c) they have been otherwise transferred and new certificates for them not bearing a restrictive legend have been issued by the Company and the Company shall not have "stop transfer" instructions against them. "SHARES" shall mean, collectively, the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and those shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable to the Investor upon exercise of the Warrants. 2.2 REGISTRATION OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Company shall prepare and file within Forty-Five (45) days following the Closing Date (the "FILING DATE") a registration statement (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") covering the resale of such number of Registrable Securities as the Investor shall elect by written notice to the Company, and absent such election, covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities . The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on the earlier of (i) 150 days following the Closing Date with respect to the Registration Statement, (ii) ten (10) days following the receipt of a "No Review" or similar letter from the SEC or (iii) the first business day following the day the SEC determines the Registration Statement eligible to be declared effective (the "REQUIRED EFFECTIVENESS DATE"). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the number of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Company hereunder. As a result, should the Registration Statement not relate to the maximum number of Registrable Securities acquired by (or potentially acquirable by) the holders of the Shares of the Company issued to the Investor pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be required to promptly file a separate registration statement (utilizing Rule 462 promulgated under the 1933 Act, where applicable) relating to such Registrable Securities which then remain unregistered. The provisions of this Agreement shall relate to any such separate registration statement as if it were an amendment to the Registration Statement. 2.3 DEMAND REGISTRATION. Subsequent to the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date, at any time and from time to time, the Investor may request the registration under the 1933 Act of all or not less than $1,000,000 in anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (a "DEMAND REGISTRATION"). Subject to the conditions of Section 3, the Company shall use its best efforts to file such registration statement under the 1933 Act as promptly as practicable after the date any such request is received by the Company and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective. The Company shall notify the Investor promptly when any such registration statement has been declared effective. If more than eighty percent (80%) of the Shares issuable under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement have been registered or sold, this provision shall expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if the Registrable Securities requested to be registered under this Section 2.3 are already included in a registration statement that is effective or pending effectiveness pursuant to Section 2.2 or in any other form; (ii) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or (iii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or (iv) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a Company-initiated registration subject to Section 1.3 below, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (v) if the Investor proposes to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 ; or (vi) if the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities a certificate signed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the initiating holders, provided that such right shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that 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, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered). 2.4 REGISTRATION STATEMENT FORM. Registrations under Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 shall be on the appropriate registration form of the SEC as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Registration Statement; provided, however, such intended method of disposition shall not include an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities. 2.5 EXPENSES. The Company will pay all Registration expenses in connection with any registration required by Sections 2.2 and Section 2.3 herein other than expenses attributable to sale of Shares by holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration hereunder, including any underwriting discounts or commissions or any transfer taxes payable in respect of the sale of Registrable Securities. 2.6 EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. A registration requested pursuant to Sections 2.2 and Section 2.3 shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective within the time period specified herein, provided that a registration which does not become effective after the Company filed a registration statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the refusal to proceed of any holder of Registrable Securities (other than a refusal to proceed based upon the advice of counsel in the form of a letter signed by such counsel and provided to the Company relating to a disclosure matter unrelated to such holder) shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company unless the holders of the Registrable Securities shall have elected to pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration, (ii) if, after it has become effective, such registration becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or extraordinary requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason or (iii) if, after it has become effective, such registration ceases to be effective for more than the allowable Black-Out Periods (as defined herein). 2.7 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION. The Company hereby agrees that the Registration Statement shall include a plan of distribution section reasonably acceptable to the Investor; provided, however, such plan of distribution section shall be modified by the Company so as to not provide for the disposition of the Registrable Securities on the basis of an underwritten offering. 2.8 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. If, after five (5) months from the date hereof, in the event the Company does not register Registrable Securities pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.2 herein, or if the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.2 herein is not declared effective, or if the Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and such Registration Statement or other Registration Statement(s) demanded by Investor including the Registrable Securities is not effective in the period from five months from the date hereof through two years following the date hereof, the Company shall, for each such day issue to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 2,283 shares of Preferred Stock for any such day, such issuance shall be made no later than the tenth business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. In addition, if the Company has not filed a registration statement within the forty-five day period after Closing as specified in Section 2.2, the Company shall, for each such day after forty-five days from Closing and until the filing of a registration statement or, if earlier, the date that is one hundred and forty nine days from Closing, issue to the Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 2,283 shares of Preferred Stock and for any such day, such payment shall be made no later than the tenth business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. However, in no event shall the Company be required to pay any liquidated damages under this Section 2.8 in an amount exceeding 2,314,815 of the shares underlying the Preferred Stock in the aggregate (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations) and the Company shall not be required to issue any fractional shares. The parties agree that the only damages payable for a violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to which liquidated damages are expressly provided shall be such liquidated damages. Nothing shall preclude the Investor from pursuing or obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 2.8 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Investor by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement(s) to be filed or declared effective in accordance with the provisions hereof. The obligation of the Company terminates when the holders of shares of Registrable Securities no longer hold more than five percent (5%) of the shares of Registrable Securities initially purchased by them. ARTICLE III INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION RIGHTS 3.1 RIGHT TO INCLUDE ("PIGGY-BACK") REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. Provided that the Registrable Securities have not been registered, if at any time after the date hereof but before the second anniversary of the date hereof, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act (other than by a registration in connection with an acquisition in a manner which would not permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public, on Form S-8, or any successor form thereto, on Form S-4, or any successor form thereto and other than pursuant to Section 2, a registration on any form that 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, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), on an underwritten basis (either best-efforts or firm-commitment), then, the Company will each such time give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such holders of Registrable Securities' rights under this Section 3.1. Upon the written request of any such holders of Registrable Securities made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holders of Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of the Registrable Securities and any shares issued as liquidated damages, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of such Registrable Securities and other such shares so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities and other such shares in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of this obligation to register any Registrable Securities or other shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities entitled to do so to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities and other shares, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. No registration effected under this Section 3.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 2. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.1. The right provided the holders of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section shall be exercisable at their sole discretion and will in no way limit any of the Company's obligations under this Agreement. 3.2 PRIORITY IN INCIDENTAL REGISTRATIONS. If the managing underwriter of the underwritten offering contemplated by this Section 3 shall inform the Company and holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent 30% of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public offering of the Company's securities, in which case the selling holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder's securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals. ARTICLE IV REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 4.1 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act as provided in Section 2.2 and, as applicable, 2.3, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: (i) prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, or amendments thereto, to effect such registration (including such audited financial statements as may be required by the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and thereafter use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC, as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than the Required Effectiveness Date (with respect to a registration pursuant to Section 2.2); provided, however, that before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of Registrable Securities which are to be included in such registration, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed; (ii) with respect to any registration statement pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier to occur of twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement (subject to the right of the Company to suspend the effectiveness thereof for not more than 10 consecutive Trading Days or an aggregate of 10 Trading Days during each year (each a "BLACK-OUT PERIOD")) or such time as all of the securities which are the subject of such registration statement cease to be Registrable Securities (such period, in each case, the "REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE PERIOD"). The Company must notify the Investor within twenty four (24) hours prior to any Black-Out Period; (iii) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents, as such holder of Registrable Securities and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holder of Registrable Securities; (iv) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such registration statement under such other U.S. federal or state securities laws or U.S. state blue sky laws as any U.S. holder of Registrable Securities thereof shall reasonably request, to keep such registrations or qualifications in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such holder of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such holder of Registrable Securities, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this subdivision (iv) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; (v) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the U.S. holder of Registrable Securities thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (vi) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder of Registrable Securities, and the underwriters, if any, of an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such holder of Registrable Securities) including that the prospectus and any prospectus supplement forming a part of the Registration Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vii) notify the Investor and its counsel promptly and confirm such advice in writing promptly after the Company has knowledge thereof: (a) when the Registration Statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (b) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus or for additional information; (c) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose; and (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose; (viii) notify each holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material facts required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder of Registrable Securities promptly prepare and furnish to such holder of Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment; (ix) otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first full calendar month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder; (x) enter into such agreements and take such other actions as the Investor shall reasonably request in writing (at the expense of the requesting or benefiting Investor) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; and (xi) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed. The Company may require each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1, the Company shall be entitled to postpone or suspend, for a reasonable period of time, the filing, effectiveness or use of, or trading under, any registration statement if the Company shall determine that any such filing or the sale of any securities pursuant to such registration statement would in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company: (a) materially impede, delay or interfere with any material pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company for which the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized negotiations; (b) materially adversely impair the consummation of any pending or proposed material offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company; or (c) require disclosure of material nonpublic information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders; provided, however, that during any such period all executive officers and directors of the Company are also prohibited from selling securities of the Company (or any security of any of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates). 4.2 The Company will not file any registration statement pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto to which the Investor shall reasonably object, provided that the Company may file such documents in a form required by law or upon the advice of its counsel. 4.3 The Company represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that it has obtained all necessary waivers, consents and authorizations necessary to execute this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby other than such waivers, consents and/or authorizations specifically contemplated by the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. 4.4 Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in subdivision (viii) of Section 4.1, such holder will forthwith discontinue such holder of Registrable Securities' disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such holder of Registrable Securities' receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (viii) of Section 4.1 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such holder's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 4.5 No holder of Registrable Securities shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 4. ARTICLE V UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS 5.1 INCIDENTAL UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act as contemplated by Section 3.1 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by any holder of Registrable Securities as provided in Section 3.1 and subject to the provisions of Section 3.2, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters. In no event shall any Investor be deemed an underwriter for purposes of this Agreement. 5.2 PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS. No holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering under Section 3.1 unless such holder of Registrable Securities (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents (other than powers of attorney) required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no underwriting agreement (or other agreement in connection with such offering) shall require any holder of Registrable Securities to make a representation or warranty to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties contained in a writing furnished by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use in the related registration statement or representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder of Registrable Securities, such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. 5.3 PREPARATION; REASONABLE INVESTIGATION. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the 1933 Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the holders of Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such holders' and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the 1933 Act. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the 1933 Act, the Company will, and hereby does agree to indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such director or officer or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the 1933 Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder or underwriter stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof and, provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or to any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the 1933 Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder. 6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE INVESTOR. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective holder of such Registrable Securities, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.1) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company, each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any underwriter, any other person selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or such other person and legal counsel and accountants for the Company, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such holder of Registrable Securities specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Investor. The indemnification by the Investor shall not exceed $50,000 dollars. 6.3 NOTICES OF CLAIMS, ETC. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2, such indemnified party will, if claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party. 6.4 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION. Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each holder of Registrable Securities (but only if and to the extent required pursuant to the terms herein) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the 1933 Act. 6.5 INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. The indemnification required by Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. 6.6 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6.1 and Section 6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the purchasers bear to the gain, if any, realized by all selling holders participating in such offering or the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the provisions contained herein, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this Section 6.6 exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for hereunder had been available under the circumstances. The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.6, no holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the applicable Registration Statement or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. ARTICLE VII RULE 144 7.1 RULE 144. The Company shall file in a timely manner the reports required to be filed by the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (including but not limited to the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the 1933 Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information) and will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.1. ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. This Agreement may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the holder or holders of the sum of the fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the shares of (i) Registrable Securities issued and outstanding at such time, plus (ii) Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Securities then constituting derivative securities (if such Securities were not fully exchanged or converted in full as of the date such consent if sought). Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this Section 8.1, whether or not such Registrable Securities shall have been marked to indicate such consent. 8.2 NOMINEES FOR BENEFICIAL OWNERS. In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number of percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by a holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner's beneficial ownership or such Registrable Securities. 8.3 NOTICES. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications to any Person provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given to such Person (a) in the case of a party hereto other than the Company, addressed to such party in the manner set forth in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement or at such other address as such party shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (b) in the case of any other holder of Registrable Securities, at the address that such holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or, until any such other holder so furnishes to the Company an address, then to and at the address of the last holder of such Registrable Securities who has furnished an address to the Company, or (c) in the case of the Company, at the address set forth on the signature page hereto, to the attention of its President, or at such other address, or to the attention of such other officer, as the Company shall have furnished to each holder of Registrable Securities at the time outstanding. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (ii) if given by any other means (including, without limitation, by fax or air courier), when delivered at the address specified above, provided that any such notice, request or communication shall not be effective until received. 8.4 ASSIGNMENT.

Each of the holders of the Registrable Securities agrees, by accepting any portion of the Registrable Securities after the date hereof, to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, appointment of the Investors' Representative to act on behalf of such holder pursuant to the terms hereof which such actions shall be made in the good faith discretion of the Investors' Representative and be binding on all persons for all purposes. 8.5 DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS.
