The Company has fully provided the Purchaser with all the information that the Purchaser requested for deciding whether to purchase the Common Stock and all information that the Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable the Purchaser to make such decision. Neither this Agreement nor any other statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith or therewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading. 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: 3.1 Knowledge. The Purchaser is aware of the current business and affairs of the Company, its past losses and need for additional capital, its recent acquisition of galaxis technology ag, and has reviewed the Company Reports and has had the opportunity to discuss the Company's prospects and proposed financing transactions with its management. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has not made any representations (written or oral) other than as set forth or specifically referred to in this Agreement. In addition, the Purchaser understands an investment in the Shares is highly speculative. 3.2 Experience. The Purchaser is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies such as the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in evaluating the merits and risks of his investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risk of the loss of his entire investment. He is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The purchase of the Common Stock is consistent with his investment objectives. 3.3 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment for his own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. He understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of his investment intent as expressed herein. He acknowledges that the Company may place restrictive legends on, and stop transfer orders against, the certificates representing the Shares, including the legends set forth in Section 5.7 hereof, because of the restrictions on resale or other transfer of the Shares. 3.4 Rule 144. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. He has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that such Rule may not become available for resale of the Purchased Shares. He has separately negotiated for the registration rights in Section 4 hereof. He also has been advised of the limited public market for the Company's Common Stock. 3.5 Authority. This Agreement when executed and delivered by the Purchaser will be duly executed and will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement or creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity. -5- 3.6 Brokers. The Purchaser has not entered into an agreement for the payment of any broker's or finder's fee or commission in connection with his purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any liability for commissions, fees or other compensation in the nature of a broker's or finder's fee to any broker or other nature of a broker's or finder's fee to any broker or other person or firm (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability) for which the Purchaser is responsible. 3.7 Confidentiality. The Purchaser acknowledges that the information received by him, other than the Company Reports, pursuant to this Agreement may be confidential and is for the Purchaser's use only. He will not use such confidential information in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise, or reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other person, except in connection with his rights under this Agreement or is required to disclose by a governmental body, unless the Company has made such information available to the public generally. 4. Registration Under the Securities Act. 4.1 Piggyback Registration. (a) If at any time and from time to time after March 10, 2005 and prior to March 10, 2007, the Company proposes to register shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act on any form for registration thereunder (the "Registration Statement") for the account of stockholders (other than one relating to (i) a registration of shares of Common Stock underlying a stock option, restricted stock, stock purchase or compensation or incentive plan or of stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or a dividend investment plan; (ii) a registration of securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, another corporation or other entity; (iii) a registration of securities proposed to be issued in exchange for other securities of the Company; or (iv) a registration of shares of Common Stock for the sale of such Common Stock where the Company intends to use the proceeds from such a sale to repay existing indebtedness of the Company) in a manner which would permit registration of the Shares for sale to the public under the Securities Act (a "Piggyback Registration"), it will at such time give prompt written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to do so and of the Purchaser's rights under this Section 4.1 (the "Section 4.1 Notice"). The rights referred to in this Section 4.1 are "Piggyback Registration Rights." The Piggyback Registration Rights constitute the only rights the Purchaser shall have to include the Shares in a Registration Statement. The Purchaser shall be entitled to include his Shares in one (1) Piggyback Registration. In addition, the Purchaser does not have any "demand registration rights." (b) Upon the written request of the Purchaser to the Company, to be received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any Section 4.1 Notice, setting forth the number of the Shares the Purchaser intends to include in the Piggyback Registration (which may not be less than 250,000 shares as presently constituted) and the intended method of disposition thereof, the Company will include in the Registration Statement the Shares which the Purchaser has requested to register, to the extent provided in this Section 4. The number of Shares set forth in the Purchaser's Section 4.1 Notice are for purposes of this Section 4, the "Registrable Shares." -6- 4.2 Suspension in Filing. (a) If the Company determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment, that the Company should withdraw any previously filed Registration Statement because the Company is engaged in or in good faith plans to engage in any financing, acquisition or other material transaction which would be adversely affected by the filing or maintenance of a Registration Statement otherwise required to be filed or maintained pursuant to this Section 4, or that the Company is in the possession of material nonpublic information required to be disclosed in such Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement thereto, the disclosure of which in such Registration Statement would be materially disadvantageous to the Company (a "Disadvantageous Condition"), the Company shall be entitled to postpone for the shortest reasonable period of time (but not exceeding 180 days from the date of the determination), the filing of such Registration Statement or, if such Registration Statement has already been filed, may withdraw such Registration Statement and shall promptly give the Purchaser written notice of such determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The Company's right to delay a request for registration or to withdraw a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 4.2 may not be exercised more than once in any one-year period. (b) If the Company determines to take any action pursuant to Sub-section (a) above after a Registration Statement is filed, upon receipt of any notice of suspension, the Purchaser shall forthwith discontinue use of the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement. In addition, if so directed by the Company, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company all copies of the prospectus then covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. If no Registration Statement has yet been filed, at the request of the Company the Purchaser shall return all drafts of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares. 4.3 Company Covenants. Whenever required under this Section 4 to include Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: (a) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of the Purchaser having completed the distribution of all his Registrable Shares described in the Registration Statement or six (6) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement (or such later date by reason of suspensions the effectiveness as provided hereunder). The Company will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to, during the period that such Registration Statement is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in -7- periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the Registration Statement. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement. (c) Furnish to the Purchaser such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Shares owned by the Purchaser. (d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act. (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. (f) Notify the Purchaser, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement. at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of 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 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. (g) Cause all such Registrable Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted. 4.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4 with respect to the Registrable Shares that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the Registrable Shares held by the Purchaser, the intended method of disposition of such securities and such -8- other information as shall be reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of the Purchaser's Registrable Shares. 4.5 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Shares with respect to the registrations effected pursuant to Section 4.1 for the Purchaser, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not bear the cost of any professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal advisors to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall pay all registration expenses that it is required to pay under applicable law. 4.6 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 4.1 to include any of the Purchaser's Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the Purchaser accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company, and the Purchaser enters into such lock-up agreements as may be required of other selling stockholders in such Registration Statement. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is a holder of Registrable Shares and is a partnership or corporation, the 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 stockholder", and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling stockholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "selling stockholder", as defined in this sentence. 4.7 Delay of Registration. The Purchaser shall not 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. 4.8 Indemnification. In the event that any Registrable Shares are included in a Registration Statement under this Section 4: -9- (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser 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, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any Violation or alleged Violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to the Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, 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 Section 4.8(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 which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person, as the case may be. (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter, any other holder selling securities in such Registration Statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Purchaser expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Purchaser will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.8(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.8, 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 notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval -10- shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which 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 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 4.8, 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 4.8. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party 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 alleged 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) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. (f) The obligations of the Company and the Purchaser under this Section 4.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement under this Section 4, and otherwise. 4.9 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell shares of the Company's Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and -11- (c) furnish to the Purchaser, so long as the Purchaser owns any Registrable Shares, forthwith upon request (i) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form. 5.
