2. REGISTRATION, PIGGYBACK AND DEMAND REGISTRATION.
2.1 The Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to December 31,1999 (the
"Filing Deadline"), file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form
SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") or, if such form is unavailable for
such a registration, on such other form as is available for such a
registration for but not limited to the Registrable Securities, which
Registration Statement shall include not less than all of the Registrable
Securities which IMSC shall reserve for issuance and will at all times
keep available, to meet its obligations under the Special Shares. Such
Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with Rule 416
promulgated under the 1933 Act, such Registration Statement also registers
such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may
become issuable upon the exchange of the Special Shares to prevent
dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions. The Company shall permit the Registration Statement to
become effective within five (5) business days after receipt of notice
from the SEC and any applicable state securities commissions that it has
no further comments. In the event that following December 31, 2002 (the
"Special Share Determination Date") it is determined that the number of
shares of Common Stock required to satisfy the exchange of the Special
Shares is less than 2,500,000 the obligation of IMSC to maintain the
Registration Statement for Common Stock for the holders of Special Shares
shall be reduced from 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to such lesser
number (the Revised Number of Common Stock). In the event that following
the Special Share Determination Date, it is determined that the number of
shares of Common Stock required to satisfy the exchange of Special Shares
is greater than 2,500,000, IMSC shall file an amendment or supplement to
the Registration Statement thereby increasing the number of shares of
Common Stock offered in the Registration Statement accordingly. Through
its best efforts, the Company will maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement until December 31, 2006 (herein called the "End
Date").
2.2 At any time subsequent to the End Date until December 31, 2013, Vendors
who have converted all or a portion of the Special Shares into the
Registrable Securities shall have the right to demand, on one occasion
only, the filing of a Registration Statement to register such Registrable
Securities. In order to exercise such demand right, the Vendors holding at
least 50% of the Registrable
4
- 4 -
Securities then outstanding must give IMSC not less than sixty (60) days
advance written notice to IMSC that IMSC effect a registration. Upon such
demand, IMSC shall expeditiously as possible use its reasonable commercial
efforts to cause a Registration Statement covering the following
securities to become effective: (a) the shares of Common Stock which the
Company has been requested to register pursuant to this Section 2.2; and
(b) such other shares of Common Stock as the Company determined shall be
included in such registration, provided however, that if the securities
which are the subject of such registration are offered through an
underwriter, agent or group of underwriters or agents and such
underwriters or agents request that the additional shares of Common Stock
desired by the Company to be registered be excluded from such registration
and such request is reasonable in light of prevailing market conditions,
the applicable Vendors shall not be obligated to include such additional
shares of Common Stock of the Company in the Registration Statement. The
Company shall maintain the Registration Statement contemplated in this
Section 2.2 herein effective until the earlier ot (i) the date upon which
the Vendors may sell all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the
third anniversary from the effective date of the Registration Statement
contemplated in this Section 2.2 herein.
2.3 The Company shall have the right to delay, for a period not exceeding
three (3) months, the filing of a Registration Statement concerning the
exercise by the Vendors of a demand right hereunder, in the event that
such filing would, in the Company's reasonable opinion, adversely impact
upon a financing that the Company is involved in at the time such demand
right is received.
2.4 If, the Company, at any time subsequent to the End Date, proposes to
register any of its equity securities under the 1933 Act (otherwise than
pursuant to Section 2.2) on any forms other than on Form S-4 or S-8, or
any successor or similar forms, and the registration form to be used may
be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback
Registration"), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Vendors of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include
(subject to the provisions hereof) in such registration all Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests
for inclusion therein within 10 days after the receipt of the Company's
notice.
2.5 If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary distribution
registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters
advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of
securities requested to be included in such distribution or registration
exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering
within a price range acceptable to the Company or without adversely
affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in
such distribution or registration all or a portion of the following
securities in the following priority to the extent that the managing
underwriters
5
- 5 -
deem advisable: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell;
(ii) second, those securities granted to any party or parties which
obtained piggy back rights prior to the Vendor and is exercising such
rights; and (iii) third, the Registrable Securities of the Vendors
requested to be included in such registration.
2.6 If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary distribution or
registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities or
securities convertible into the Company's securities, and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the
number of securities requested to be included in such distribution or
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in
such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially
requesting such distribution or registration, the Company shall include in
such registration or distribution securities in the following priority to
the extent that the managing underwriters deem advisable: (i) first, the
securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such
distribution or registration; and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such distribution or registration.

promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement effective at all times during the applicable
periods specified herein, and, during each such period, comply with the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration
Statement (as such securities may be split, reverse split or otherwise

amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable following the filing thereof

information concerning a Vendor provided to the Company unless: (i)

state securities law; (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration

learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Vendor is sought
in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through
other means, give prompt written notice to such Vendor and allow such
Vendor, at the Vendors expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
3.5 The Company shall cooperate with the Vendors who exchange the Special
Shares for Registrable Securities so as to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities which have the benefit of
an effective Registration Statement.
3.6 The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.
3.7 The Company shall furnish, without charge, to the Vendors such number of
prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as the Vendors from time
to time reasonably request in writing in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of
disposition set forth for the Vendors in the Registration Statement of
which such Prospectus forms a part.
3.8 The Company shall use its best efforts, concurrently with the filing of a
Registration Statement with the SEC, to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for sale
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such number of state securities
commissions as the Vendors may reasonably request (not to exceed 5
states), except that IMSC shall not be required in connection therewith to
execute a general consent to service of process or to qualify to do
business in any state. The Company shall only be responsible for the
expenses associated with `blue sky" registration in up to 5 states and the
Vendors shall be solely responsible and shall indemnify the Company for
all expenses associated with registration in any additional states.

3.9 The Company shall notify the Vendors promptly and (if requested by the
Vendors) confirm such notice in writing (i) when a Registration Statement
or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed,
and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (ii) of the
issuance or threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by IMSC of any
notification with respect to the suspension or threat of suspension of the
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any state
in which such sale has previously been qualified or the initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose, or (iv) of the occurrence of any event which
makes any statement made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or which requires
any revisions to the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that they do
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 not misleading.
3.10 The Company shall, upon the occurrence of any event referred to in Section
3.9(ii) or (iv) above, use its best efforts to promptly prepare a
post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or
supplement to the related Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such
Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.

order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or
suspending the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
state where they have previously been qualified.
3.12 The Company shall cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on
each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed.
3.13 If, at any time during the currency of this Agreement, the Company's

more provinces of Canada rather than the United States, the Company shall
cooperate with the Vendors in order to provide the various registration
rights provided in this agreement (or rights substantively similar
thereto) in such province if requested by Vendors then holding Special
Shares entitling them to a majority of the Registrable Securities
issuable, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws in such
jurisdiction. In such event, the Company shall be relieved from its
obligations hereunder provided that an agreement with respect to
registration rights in Canada in form and substance satisfactory to the
Vendors is entered into between the Company and the Vendors.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party

indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party

indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the

available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or
parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon

the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to or otherwise
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein,
then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein
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
which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and 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 unindemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
