9.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following
registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 180 days after the Closing
Date, but not later than three years after the Closing Date, the Company, upon a
written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50% of
the aggregate of the Company's Shares or holders of 50% of the Warrants issued
at or about the same time in the Company's offering of 300,000 Company Shares
and 3,300,000 Warrants (the Securities and securities issued or issuable by
virtue of ownership or exercise of the Securities, and the Put Securities
defined in Section 10.1(b)(i) hereof, being, the "Registrable Securities"),
shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement under the Act
covering the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such request,
unless such Registrable Securities are the subject of a pending or effective
registration statement. In addition, upon the receipt of such request, the
Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders of the
Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and shall
include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has
received written requests within 10 days after the Company gives such written
notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised
their demand registration right under this Section 9.1(i). As a condition
precedent to the inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder thereof shall
provide the Company with such information as the Company reasonably requests.
7
The obligation of the Company under this Section 9.1(i) shall be limited to one
registration statement.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities
under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the
account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration
statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the
Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable
Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscriber or Holder
pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at
least 30 days' prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable
Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder,
received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by
the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities, the Company will
cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so
requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration
statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to
permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered
by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller"). In the event that
any registration pursuant to this Section 9.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part,
an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of
shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be
reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and
the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would
adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company
therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing
of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions, the Company may
withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 9.1(ii) without
thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
(iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is received by
the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(i), the Company has determined to proceed
with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the
1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of any of its
securities for the Company's own account, such written request shall be deemed
to have been given pursuant to Section 9.1(ii) rather than Section 9.1(i), and
the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such written
request shall be governed by Section 9.1(ii) except that the Company or
underwriter, if any, may not withdraw such registration or limit the amount of
Registrable Securities included in such registration.
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission within 75 days of the
Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause to be declared effective a Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other
form that it is eligible to use) within two hundred and ten (210) days of the
8
Closing Date in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and
distribution under the Act. The registration statement described in this
paragraph must be declared effective by the Commission within 210 days of the
Closing Date (as defined herein) ("Effective Date"). The Company will register
not less than one (1) share of common stock in the aforedescribed registration
statement for each Company Share subscribed for and one share of common stock
for each common share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Registrable
Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of the
Subscriber and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than the
Subscriber. Except as disclosed to the Subscriber in writing, no equity of the
Company other than the Registrable Securities and Put Securities may be included
for registration in such registration statement. Such registration statement
will be promptly amended or additional registration statements will be promptly
filed by the Company as necessary to register additional Company Shares to allow
the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the
Registrable Securities.
9.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to
the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings;
(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 keep such registration statement effective for the period
specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Act with
respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any, such number of
copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request
in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue
sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the case of an underwritten
public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request,
9
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 any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then
listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the 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;
(g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter,
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 seller, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
9.3. Provision of Documents.
(a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for registration has
been made pursuant to Section 9.1(i) or a request for registration has been made
pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), the Registrable Securities will be included in a
registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 9. In the event of a firm
commitment underwritten public offering in which the Registrable Securities are
so included, the lockup, if any, requested by the managing underwriter may not
exceed ninety (90) days after the effective date thereof.
(b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the Seller will furnish
to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself and the
proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure
compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In connection with
each registration pursuant to Section 9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) covering an underwritten
public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to enter into a written
agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and containing such
provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement
between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment
stature.
10
9.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber agree that the
Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section
9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) above is not filed within 60 days after request by the Holder
and not declared effective by the Commission within 120 days after such request
[or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in reference to the
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section
9.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated
by Section 9 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement
described in Sections 9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days of such
request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date
that is 120 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form
SB-2 or such other form described in Section 9.1(iv) is not filed on or before
the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the
Effective Date, or within ten days of receipt by the Company of a communication
from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv)
will not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections
9.1(i), 9.1(ii) or 9.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter
cease to be effective (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 but not more than 20 consecutive
calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 9.4 is referred to herein as a
"Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event
shall continue, the Company shall pay in cash as Liquidated Damages to each
holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal to two (2%) percent for
each thirty (30) days or part thereof, of the Purchase Price of the Company
Shares and aggregate exercise prices of the Warrants as set forth on the
signature page hereto, then owned of record by such holder as of the occurrence
of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4
shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available funds.
9.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 9, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred
in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, fee of one counsel, if any, to represent all the
Sellers, and costs of insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special
counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling Expenses". The Seller shall pay the
fees of its own additional counsel, if any.
11
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in connection with
each registration statement under Section 9 shall be borne by the Seller and may
be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by
the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
9.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the
Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the Seller, each
underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if
any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the 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 was registered under the Act
pursuant to Section 9, 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 Seller, each such underwriter and each such 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 Company will not be liable in any such case
if and 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 by any such
Seller, the underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically
for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities
under the Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration
statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who
controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the 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
12
material fact contained in the registration statement under which such
Registrable Securities were registered under the Act pursuant to Section 9, 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 officer, director, underwriter and 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 Seller will be liable hereunder 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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such
Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and
provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be
limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the
Registrable Securities sold by the Seller under such registration statement
bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but
not in any event to exceed the gross proceeds received by the Seller from the
sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, 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 this Section 9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 9.6(c) 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
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 9.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
13
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may
be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the
indemnified parties 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.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of
joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) the Seller, or any
controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Section 9.6 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 9.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of
the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this
Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller 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
Seller 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
Seller 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 10(f) of the Act) will be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

the Company does not exercise the Put in connection with any or all of the Put
Securities, the Subscriber may exercise the Put on the Company's behalf in
connection with the Put Securities described on the signature page hereof, by
written notice to the Company within two weeks after the end of the Put exercise
period. Such notice will be deemed a Put Notice (as defined hereafter) and the
Company will comply with all its obligations described herein.

Put in relation to all the subject Put Securities. The date a Put Notice is
given is a Put Date. The Put Notice must be accompanied by the (i) officer's

items set forth in Section 10.2(b) above.
10.3. Put Warrants. The Put Warrants will be exercisable at $.50 per common

obligation of either party shall be assigned by that party without prior notice
to and the written consent of the other party.
(d) Conflict. The parties hereto have been advised of a possible conflict
of interest arising from the past and future representation by Grushko & Xxxxxxx

Grushko & Xxxxxxx of the Company in connection with this Subscription Agreement,
related matters and the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv)
hereof. The Company and Subscriber acknowledge that they have been advised by

brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement
and other agreements on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the
jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and
costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement
delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

Subscriber acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injuction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
equity. Subject to Section 13(e) hereof, each of the Company and Subscriber
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(h) Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate
without any further action of either party hereto if the Closing shall not have
