No single or partial exercise by an Investor of any of the rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement shall preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, power or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or at law, in equity or otherwise. No delay or omission by an Investor in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof of any other right, power or remedy. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement: (A) "Registrable Shares" means the Shares issued and acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, any shares issued pursuant to the reimbursement obligation set forth herein, the Warrant Shares, and the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Placement Agent's warrant (and including any shares issued in connection with any split or dividend in respect of any such shares); provided, however, that any such Share will cease to be a Registrable Share when (1) a Registration Statement covering a Registrable Share has been declared effective by the SEC and such Share has been disposed of by the Investors pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (2) the Registrable Share is transferred to another person, (3) such share (after initial issuance) is held by the Company or otherwise ceases to be outstanding, or (4) such share may be traded without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k), if applicable; and (B) "Registration Statement" means any registration statement or comparable document under the Securities Act through which a public sale or disposition of the Registrable Shares may be registered, including the prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement, all exhibits, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such registration statement. 8.2 Suspension Of Effectiveness. The Company's obligations under Section 8.1 above shall not restrict its ability to suspend the effectiveness of, or direct the Investors not to offer or sell securities under, any Registration Statement, at any time, for such reasonable period of time which the Company reasonably believes is necessary to prevent the premature disclosure of any events or information having a material effect on the Company; provided, -------- however, that the Company may not exercise such right for more than sixty (60) ------- days in any twelve-month period. In addition, the Company shall not be required to keep any Registration Statement effective, or may, without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Investors not to sell such securities, during any period during which the Company is instructed, directed, ordered or otherwise requested by any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization to stop or suspend such trading or sales. 11 8.3 Registration Procedures. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in connection with any registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: (a) in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, and thereafter keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of two (2) years or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; and before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Investors copies of such Registration Statement and such other documents as proposed to be filed (including copies of any document to be incorporated by reference therein), and thereafter furnish to the Investors such number of copies as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Investors of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including copies of any document to be incorporated by reference therein), including all exhibits thereto, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and, promptly after the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the definitive final prospectus filed with the SEC; (b) notify the Investors, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including any document to be incorporated by reference therein) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, at the request of the Investors, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly make available to the Investors any such supplement or amendment; (c) notify the Investors and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such advice in writing, (i) when the Registration Statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and the Company shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued and (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Shares for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company may require the Investors to furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves and the distribution of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. The Investors agree, by their acquisition of Registrable Shares and their acceptance of the benefits provided to it hereunder, to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make any previously furnished information not materially misleading. All Investors proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such 12 underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and shall provide to such underwriter or underwriters any opinions and certificates, and any indemnification with respect to such Investor as reasonably required by such underwriter or underwriters. The Investors agree that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described herein requiring the cessation of the distribution of a prospectus or the distribution of a supplemented or amended prospectus, the Investors will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Shares until the Investors' receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, the Investors will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Investors' possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. 8.4 Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with the registration of shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel of the Company and counsel for the underwriters in connection with "blue sky" qualifications of the Registrable Shares), fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and with listing on any national securities exchange or exchanges in which listing may be sought, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and expenses of one counsel for all Investors participating in such registration (not to exceed $15,000), fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and its independent certified public accountants, securities acts liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance), the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, and fees and expenses of other persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called "Registration Expenses") will be borne by the Company; provided that in no event shall Registration Expenses payable by the Company include any (i) underwriting discounts, commissions, or fees attributable to the sale of Registrable Shares, or (ii) transfer taxes, if any, all of which shall be borne pro rata by the Investors including Registrable Shares in such registration. 8.5 Indemnification. (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of each Investor, legal counsel and accountants for each Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor and each person, if any, who controls such Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, 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 the 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 Securities Act, the 13 Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws; and the Company will reimburse each such Investor, underwriter or controlling person for 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 8.5(a) shall 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 shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall 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 that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Investor or underwriter, or any person controlling such Investor or underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Investor or underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Investor 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 Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, each other Investor selling Shares in the Registration Statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, 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 Investor expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement; and each such Investor will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 8.5(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 8.5(b) shall 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 Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 8.5(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Investor. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8.5 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 8.5, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall 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 mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the 14 indemnifying party would be 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, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8.5, 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 8.5. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.5 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 herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall 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 shall 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 Investors under this Section 8.5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Section 8, and otherwise. 9. MISCELLANEOUS. 9.1 Waivers and Amendments. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, terminated, modified or amended except upon the written consent of the Company and holders of at least a majority of the Shares, or, in the case of non-material or ministerial amendments, upon the written consent of the Company and the Placement Agent. 9.2 Headings.
