Each Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 (notwithstanding any volume restrictions that may be applicable under Rule 144), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (each, an “Effectiveness Period”).
 
(b) If: (i) any Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date for such Registration Statement; (ii) a Registration Statement filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by the applicable Effectiveness Date; (iii) after a Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, a Discontinuation Event (as hereafter defined) shall occur and be continuing, or such Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such

3


 
Registration Statement (without being succeeded immediately by an additional Registration Statement filed and declared effective), for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year or more than 20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date such Registration Statement is declared effective); or (iv) until such time as the Common Stock may be sold under Rule 144 outside of a Trading Market, the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then as partial relief for the damages to the Purchaser by reason of the occurrence of any such Event (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the Purchaser for each day that an Event has occurred and is continuing, an amount in cash equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the product of: (A) the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Note and each Minimum Borrowing Note multiplied by (B) 0.01; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay the damages set forth in this sentence if the Event that gave rise to such damages directly arose or directly resulted from any materially untrue statement to be included in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, solely to the extent that such materially untrue statement (I) was furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser or any other Holder and (II) was specifically identified by the Purchaser or any other Holder to be used in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be.
 
(c) Within three business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations), and provided that the Company’s counsel shall have received any representations letters and other information reasonably requested to provide such opinion, to the transfer agent of the Company stating that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth above.
 
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
 
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and to promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement;
 
(c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
 
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with the Principal Market on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not so listed, then on a Principal Market selected by the Company;
 
(f) immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (and in such event Purchaser and any other selling Holders shall discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until notified in writing by the Company that use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed); and
 
(g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.
 
4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel for the Company) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses”.

commissions, fees and discounts applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, as well as any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders, are called “Selling Expenses.” All Selling Expenses shall be borne solely by the Purchaser and the other Holders, jointly and severally.
 
5. Indemnification.
 
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions 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 Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse such Holder, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (i) so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document, or (ii) contained in any preliminary Prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final Prospectus and such final Prospectus is provided to the Purchaser and the other Holders; and provided further, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arose from or is related to the failure of Purchaser, any Holder or any such person to deliver a Prospectus as required by the Securities Act.
 
(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser and any selling Holder, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with

6


 
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any selling Holder specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate proceeds (net of any selling commissions, fees and discounts) received by the Purchaser and all other Holders in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under Section 5 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under Section 5 if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof 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 and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and outside counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party are reasonably deemed to conflict in any material respect with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. No compromise or settlement of any claims in an action shall be binding on an Indemnifying Party for purposes of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement without the Indemnifying Party’s express written consent.
 
(d) A party granted the right to direct the defense of any action under this Section 5 shall keep the other parties hereto informed of material developments in the action and shall promptly submit to the other parties copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or submitted in connection with the action. The parties shall make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants all of their books and records relating to the action, and each party shall provide to the others

7


 
such assistance as may be reasonably required to insure the proper and adequate defense of the action. Each party shall use its good faith efforts to avoid the waiver of any privilege of another party. The assumption of the defense of any action by an Indemnifying Party shall not constitute an admission of responsibility to indemnify or in any manner impair or restrict the Indemnifying Party’s rights to later seek to be reimbursed its costs or expenses if indemnification under this Agreement with respect to the action was not required. An Indemnifying Party may elect to assume the defense of an Action at any time during the pendency of the Action, even if initially the Indemnifying Party did not elect to assume the defense, so long as the assumption at such later time would not materially prejudice the rights of the Indemnified Party.
 
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
6. [Intentionally Omitted]
 
7. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
 
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 7(b) hereto, or except with the written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the

8


 
Registration Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.
 
(c) Compliance. Each Holder (including but not limited to the Purchaser) covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as well as all other federal and applicable state securities laws, rules and regulations applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
 
(d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will, if so directed by the Company in such notice, forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 7(d). For purposes of this Section 7(d), a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during any Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered during such Effectiveness Period and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on

9


 
Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered, to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement. If the Company provides written notice to the Holders as required above and such Holder is permitted but elects not to register its Registrable Securities on such registration statement, then the Company shall have no obligation to file a Registration Statement with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (and in such event the amendment, modification, supplement or waiver shall be binding on all Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

Any notice or request required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the Company, the Purchaser or any Holder at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(g).

Re:
Magnetech Integrated Services Corp. Registration Statement on Form [S-3]
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
As counsel to Magnetech Integrated Services Corp., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of __________ shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
A Registration Statement on Form [S-3] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date]. We understand and assume that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus. We further assume that the Selling Stockholders will comply with their prospectus delivery requirements under the Act.
 
Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and, so long as you have not been advised by us or the Company to the contrary, new certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend.
 
Very truly yours,
 
[Company counsel]
