its Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the

Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the

date which is the earlier of (i) five years after its Effective Date, (ii) such

PERIOD").

Date for such Registration Statement, an additional Registration Statement

covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an

existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a

continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, on Form SB-2 (or on such other form

appropriate for such purpose). Each such Registration Statement shall contain

(except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the

Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the "Plan of

Distribution" attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause each such

Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon

reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously

effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period.

eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable

Securities for resale, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form

S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form

S-3 to the then effective Registration Statement) and shall cause such

Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible thereafter,

but in any event prior to the Effectiveness Date therefor. Such Registration

Statement shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written

comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration

Statement) the "Plan of Distribution" attached hereto as Annex A. The Company

shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the

Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, by its Effectiveness Date,

continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness

Period.

 

                  (d) If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior

to its Filing Date, or (ii) a Registration Statement is not declared effective

by the Commission on or prior to its required Effectiveness Date, or (iii) after

its Effective Date, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts

therefore, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to be effective and

available to the Holders as to all Registrable Securities to which it is

required to cover at any time prior to the expiration of its Effectiveness

Period for more than an aggregate of 45 Trading Days (which need not be

consecutive) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an "EVENT," and

for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for

purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 45 Trading Day-period is exceeded,

being referred to as "EVENT DATE"), then in addition to any other rights the

Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on each such Event Date

the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated

damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the aggregate Investment Amount

paid by such Holder for Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (y) on

each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall

not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the

Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated

damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the aggregate Investment Amount

paid by such Holder for Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The

parties agree that the Company will not be liable for liquidated damages under

this Section in respect of the Warrants. If the Company fails to pay any partial

liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the

date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum

(or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law)

to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial

 

                                       B-4

<PAGE>

 

liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,

are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof

shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the

cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. Notwithstanding

the other provisions of this Section 2, in no event shall the Company be liable

for partial liquidated damages under this Section 2(d) to any Holder in excess

of 10.5% of the Investment Amount paid by such Holder for Securities pursuant to

the Purchase Agreement.

 

                  (e) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed

Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a "SELLING

HOLDER QUESTIONNAIRE"). The Company shall not be required to include the

Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be

required to pay any liquidated or other damages under Section 2(d) to any Holder

who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder

Questionnaire at least two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date (subject to the

requirements set forth in Section 3(a)).

 

         3. Registration Procedures.

 

                  In connection with the Company's registration obligations

hereunder, the Company shall:

 

                  (a) Not less than four Trading Days prior to the filing of a

Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement

thereto, the Company shall furnish to each Holder copies of the "Selling

Stockholders" section of such document, the "Plan of Distribution" and any risk

factor contained in such document that addresses specifically this transaction

or the Selling Stockholders, as proposed to be filed which documents will be

subject to the review of such Holder. The Company shall not file a Registration

Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the

"Selling Stockholder" section thereof differs from the disclosure received from

a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented).

 

                  (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,

including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the

Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such

Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable

Securities for its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission

such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under

the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related

Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,

and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii)

respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the

Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto

and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete

copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such

Registration Statement that would not result in the disclosure to the Holders of

material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply in

all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange

Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all

Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

 

                                       B-5

<PAGE>

 

                  (c) Notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible

(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three Trading Days prior to

such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in

writing no later than one Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus

or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration

Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) 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 that pertain to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to

the Plan of Distribution, but not information which the Company believes would

constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each

Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become

effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state

governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement

or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the

Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration

Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of

any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of 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 (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes

the financial statements included in a 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 the 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.

 

                  (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of,

or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the

effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the

qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable

Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

                  (e) Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one

conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all

exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously

furnished) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

 

                  (f) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many

copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus)

and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request.

The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or

supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the

offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and

any amendment or supplement thereto.

 

                  (g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, to

register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the

registration or qualification (or

 

                                       B-6

<PAGE>

 

exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable

Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all

jurisdictions within the United States, to keep each such registration or

qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period

and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the

disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the

Registration Statements.

 

                  (h) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely

preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to

be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which

certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement,

of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in

such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

 

                  (i) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section

3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment,

including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or

a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to

be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so

that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will

contain 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, in

light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

         4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the

performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne

by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a

Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing

sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees

required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then

listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or

Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses
