The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in
immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the
Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue
and deliver the Securities to the Investor, except to the extent that such

recapitalization affecting the Common Stock (the "Maximum Common Stock
Issuance"), unless the issuance of Shares, including any Common Stock to be
issued to the Investors pursuant to Section 11(b), in excess of the Maximum
Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders
in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of shares of
Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties
understand and agree that the Company's failure to seek or obtain such
shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due
authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor's
obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a
number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance
limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the
Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2(j).

holders of Common Stock as a dividend in liquidation or by way of
return of capital or other than as a dividend payable out of earnings
or surplus legally available for dividends under applicable law or any
distribution to such holders made in respect of the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets (other than under the
circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections (i) through

registration statement filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale
by the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly
announced.
(k) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is involved in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of

intends to leave the Company's employ or otherwise terminate such officer's
employment with the Company.
(l) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries
own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service xxxx registrations, service names, patents,

copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, government authorizations,
trade secrets or other intellectual property rights necessary to conduct its

Laws"); (ii) have, to the knowledge of management of the Company, received
all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses; and (iii) are in
compliance, to the knowledge of the Company, with all terms and conditions

foregoing cases, the failure to so comply would have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to
all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the SEC Documents
or such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held
under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not

such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(o) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured
by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company reasonably believes
to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the
Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not
be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(p) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries have in
full force and effect all certificates, approvals, authorizations and
permits from the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, necessary to own,
lease or operate their respective properties and assets and conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificate, approval, authorization or permit,
except for such certificates, approvals, authorizations or permits which if
not obtained, or such revocations or modifications which, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations; (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only
in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and (iv)
the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets
at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.
(r) No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
judgment of the Company's officers has or is expected in the future to have

filed all United States federal and state income and all other tax returns,
reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject
(unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of
all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to
the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are
no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing
authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no
basis for any such claim.
(t) Certain Transactions. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents
filed at least ten (10) days prior to the date hereof and except for arm's
length transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the
ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company
could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock options
disclosed in the SEC Documents, none of the officers, directors, or
employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other
entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
(u) Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon purchases pursuant to
this Agreement will increase in certain circumstances including, but not
necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading price of the
Common Stock declines during the period between the Effective Date and the
end of the Open Period. The Company's executive officers and directors have
studied and fully understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect.
The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith
business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the
Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject to such
limitations as are expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, its
obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon purchases pursuant to this
Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect
that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders
of the Company.
(v) Right of First Refusal. The Company shall not, directly or
indirectly, without the prior written consent of Investor offer, sell, grant
any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer,
sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any of its
Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price that is
less than the market price of the Common Stock at the time of issuance of
such security or investment (a "Subsequent Financing") for a period of one
(1) year after the Effective Date, except (i) the granting of options or
warrants to employees, officers, directors and consultants, and the issuance
of shares upon exercise of options granted, under any stock option plan
heretofore or hereafter duly adopted by the Company, or shares issued for
services rendered or to be rendered to the Company; (ii) shares issued upon
exercise of any currently outstanding warrants or options and upon
conversion of any currently outstanding convertible debenture or convertible
preferred stock, in each case disclosed pursuant to Section 4(c); (iii)
securities issued in connection with the capitalization or creation of a
joint venture with a strategic partner; (iv) shares issued to pay part or
all of the purchase price for the acquisition by the Company of another
entity (which, for purposes of this clause (iv), shall not include an
individual or group of individuals); and (v) shares issued in a bona fide
public offering by the Company of its securities, unless (A) the Company
delivers to Investor a written notice ("Subsequent Financing Notice") of its
intention to effect such Subsequent Financing, which Subsequent Financing
Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such
Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised
thereunder, the person with whom such Subsequent Financing shall be
effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document
relating thereto; and (B) Investor shall not have notified the Company by
5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after its receipt of
the Subsequent Financing Notice of its willingness to provide, subject to
completion of mutually acceptable documentation, financing to the Company on
substantially the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If
Investor shall fail to notify the Company of its intention to enter into
such negotiations within such time period, then the Company may effect the
Subsequent Financing substantially upon the terms set forth in the
Subsequent Financing Notice; provided that the Company shall provide
Investor with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and Investor shall again
have the right of first refusal set forth above in this Section, if the
Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice
shall not have been consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in
such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty Trading Days after the date
of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice. The rights granted to Investor
in this Section are not subject to any prior right of first refusal given to
any other person disclosed on Schedule 4(c).

directors, affiliates or other related parties to refrain from selling
Common Stock during each Pricing Period.

case, the Company shall reimburse Investor for its reasonable legal and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)

applicable Closing Date, the Investor purchases, in an open market
transaction or otherwise, the Company's Common Stock ("Covering Shares") in
order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the
Investor ("Sold Shares"), which delivery such Investor anticipated to make

Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Investor

purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to the Common Stock

jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and,
except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor
the Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking
with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the
Investor, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

that this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction Documents may be
deemed to be "material contracts" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10)

documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out
the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(n) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will
be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any
party.
(o) Remedies. The Investor and each holder of the Shares shall have
all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies which such holders have been
granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the
rights which such holders have under any law. Any person having any rights
under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any default or breach of any provision of this
Agreement, including the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees and costs,
and to exercise all other rights granted by law.
(p) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment
or payments to the Investor hereunder or the Registration Rights Agreement
or the Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder,
and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise
or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to
be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of
action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(q) Pricing of Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, the bid
price of the Common Stock in this Agreement shall be as reported on

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the

Company that the Registration Statement would be materially misleading
absent the inclusion of such information.

Securities to the Investor. The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but

Registration Statement for other securities, until thirty calendar days
after the Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities is declared
effective by the SEC.
SECTION 3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
At such time as the Company is obligated to prepare and file a
Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company
will effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, with respect thereto,
the Company shall have the following obligations:
(a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become
effective within ninety (90) days after the Execution Date and shall keep
such Registration Statement effective until the earlier to occur of (i) the
date as of which the Holders may sell all of the Registrable Securities
without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the 1933 Act
(or successor thereto); or (ii) the date on which (A) the Holders shall have
sold all the Registrable Securities; and (B) the Investor has no right to
acquire any additional shares of Common Stock under the Investment Agreement
("Registration Period"). The Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall
not contain any 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 in which they were made,
not misleading. The Company shall use its best efforts to respond to all
SEC comments within seven (7) business days from receipt of such comments by
the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the

the Company, including the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities, and the Company's obligations set forth above shall be
conditioned on the receipt of such information.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply
with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been
disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Investor thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by a Registration Statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration
Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available
therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within
thirty (30) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the
then Purchase Price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which
the Company reasonably elects to rely), assuming the Company has sufficient
authorized shares at that time, and if it does not, within thirty (30)
calendar days after such shares are authorized. The Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following
the filing thereof.
(c) The Company shall make available to the Holders whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement and its legal counsel
without charge (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the
SEC at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s)
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, the prospectus included
in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and,
with regards to such Registration Statement(s), any correspondence by or on
behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC and any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its
representatives; (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement,
the Company shall make available copies of the prospectus included in such
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto; and (iii)
such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final
prospectus, as the Holders may reasonably request from time to time in order
to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.
(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such states in
the United States as any Holder reasonably requests; (ii) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may
be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration
Period; (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the
Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or
advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (X) qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but
for this Section 3(d), or (Y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Holder who holds
Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any
of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual
notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
the Company shall notify each Holder in writing of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omission 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 ("Registration Default") and use
all diligent efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement and take any other necessary steps to cure the
Registration Default, (which, if such Registration Statement is on Form S-3,
may consist of a document to be filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined below) and
to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus) to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and make available copies of such supplement or
amendment to each Holder. The Company shall also promptly notify each
Holder (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-
effective amendment has become effective (the Company will prepare
notification of such effectiveness which shall be delivered to the Holder on
the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), additionally, the
Company will promptly provide to the Holder a copy of the effectiveness
order prepared by the SEC once it is received by the Company; (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or related prospectus or related information; (iii) of the Company's
reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate; (iv) in the event the Registration Statement
is no longer effective; or (v) if Registration Statement is stale as a
result of the Company's failure to timely file its financials or otherwise.
The Company acknowledges that its failure to cure the Registration Default
within ten (10) business days will cause the Investor to suffer damages in
an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties
agree that it is appropriate to include a provision for liquidated damages.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision set
forth in this section represents the parties' good faith effort to quantify
such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated
damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. It is the
intention of the parties that interest payable under any of the terms of
this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted under any
applicable law. If a law, which applies to this Agreement which sets the
maximum interest amount, is finally interpreted so that the interest in
connection with this Agreement exceeds the permitted limits, then: (1) any
such interest shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the
interest to the permitted limit; and (2) any sums already collected (if any)
from the Company which exceed the permitted limits will be refunded to the
Company. The Investor may choose to make this refund by reducing the amount
that the Company owes under this Agreement or by making a direct payment to
the Company. If a refund reduces the amount that the Company owes the
Investor, the reduction will be treated as a partial payment. In case any
provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable
to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.
(f) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent
the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension
at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Holder who holds
Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or
threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(g) The Company shall permit the Holder and one legal counsel,
designated by the Holder, to review and comment upon a Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least seven business
days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form
to which such counsel reasonably objects. The Company may request to
shorten the Holder's review period and the Holder will, if possible, attempt
to comply with the accelerated review period. The Company shall not submit
to the SEC a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or file with the SEC a Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement thereto without the prior approval of such counsel, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(h) At the request of the Holder, the Company shall cause to be
furnished to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, a legal opinion, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Holder's counsel, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company
for purposes of such Registration Statement.
(i) The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Holder
and
(ii) one legal counsel and one firm of accountants or other agents retained
by the Holders (collectively, "Inspectors"), at the Holders' expense, all
pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, "Records"), as shall be reasonably
deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers,
directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may
reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in
strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to a Holder) or
use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good
faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so
notified, unless (A) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or
correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is
otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (B) the release of such Records is
ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court
or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (C) the information in such
Records has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the
Inspector has knowledge. Each Holder agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental
body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to
the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the
Records deemed confidential.
(j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement,
(iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or
other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this
Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought
in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through
other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such
Holder, at the Holder's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(k) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by any
Registration Statement on the Principal Market. If, despite the Company's
best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding
sentence, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be listed on
each other national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if
any, on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company
are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is
then permitted under the rules of such exchange or system. The Company
shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation
under this Section 3(k).
(l) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the
prompt preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a
Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders may reasonably
request.
(m) The Company shall provide a transfer agent for all the
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto.
If requested by the Holder, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably
practical incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
such information as such Holders reasonably determine should be included
therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the offering of
the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all
required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
as soon as reasonably possible after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if
reasonably requested by such Holders.
(n) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement
to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.
(o) The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts
to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection
with any registration hereunder.
(p) Within one (1) business day after the Registration Statement
which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities,
with copies to the Investor, confirmation that such Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the SEC.
(q) At or prior to the date of the first Put Notice (as that term is
defined in the Investment Agreement) and at such other times as the Holders
may reasonably request, the Company shall cause to be delivered, letters
from the Company's independent certified public accountants (i) addressed to
the Holders that such accountants are independent public accountants within
the meaning of the 1933 Act and the applicable published rules and
regulations thereunder, and (ii) in customary form and covering such
financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of
independent certified public accountants delivered to underwriters in
connection with public offerings.
(r) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Holders of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.
SECTION 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER.
(a) At least five (5) calendar days prior to the first anticipated
filing date of a Registration Statement the Company shall notify the Holder
in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Holder if
such Holder elects to have any of such Holder's Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to
this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular
Holder that such Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as
shall reasonably be required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request. The Holder covenants
and agrees that, in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities by it
pursuant to a Registration Statement, it shall comply with the "Plan of
Distribution" section of the current prospectus relating to such
Registration Statement.
(b) The Holder, by such Holder's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by
the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the
Company in writing of such Holder's election to exclude all of such Holder's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) The Holder agrees that, upon receipt of written notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f)
or the first sentence of 3(e), such Holder will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated
by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e).
SECTION 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and
other than as set forth in the Investment Agreement, incurred in connection
with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3,
including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications
fees, printing and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 5 shall obligate the Company to pay the expenses or
fees of Inspectors or counsel to the Holders.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Holder who holds such
Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees,
counsel, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls,
any Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act") (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties,
charges, costs, attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses,
joint or several (collectively, "Claims"), incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or
governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC,
whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may
be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become
subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced
or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any
filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the
securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which the
Investor has requested in writing that the Company register or qualify the
Shares ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements
therein were made, not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as
amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to the restrictions set
forth in Section 6(c) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the
Company shall reimburse the Holders and each such controlling person,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out
of or based upon a Violation which is due to the inclusion in the
Registration Statement of the information furnished to the Company by any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement
thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on
(A) a failure of the Holder to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company or (B) the Indemnified Person's use
of an incorrect prospectus despite being promptly advised in advance by the
Company in writing not to use such incorrect prospectus; (iii) any claims
based on the manner of sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holder or
of the Holder's failure to register as a dealer under applicable securities
laws; (iv) any omission of the Holder to notify the Company of any material
fact that should be stated in the Registration Statement or prospectus
relating to the Holder or the manner of sale; and (v) any amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and
shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder
is participating, each such Holder agrees to severally and jointly
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act and the Company's agents (collectively and together with an Indemnified
Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to
which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the
extent, that such Violation is due to the inclusion in the Registration
Statement of the written information furnished to the Company by such Holder
expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and,
subject to Section 6(c), such Holder will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to
contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Holder shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as
does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall
survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to
the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section
6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the
benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of
material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus were corrected on a
timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. This
indemnification provision shall apply separately to each Investor and
liability hereunder shall not be joint and several.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a
Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 6, 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
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party, the representation by counsel of the Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal
counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as
applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by the Holders, if the
Holders are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the
Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the
indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The
indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
fully appraised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall
be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected
without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party
shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No
indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to
such Claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be surrogated to all rights of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or
corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
SECTION 7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is
prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would
otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (a) no contribution shall be made under
circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification
under the fault standards set forth in Section 6; (b) no seller of
Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution
from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received
by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
SECTION 8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holder to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), 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 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being
understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under
Section 5(c) of the Investment Agreement) and the filing of such reports and
other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
(c) furnish to the Investor, promptly upon request, (i) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) 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 (iii) such other information as
may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
SECTION 9. NO ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights under this Agreement shall not be assignable.
SECTION 10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended only with the written
consent of the Company and Holders. No such amendment shall be effective to
the extent that it applies to less than all of the Holders of the
Registrable Securities.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Any notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given under the terms of this Agreement that must be in writing will be
deemed to have been delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally;
(ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided a confirmation of
transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by

(b) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this

remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

from or related to this Agreement without regard to the principles of
conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Las
Vegas, County of Xxxxx, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit,
action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address
for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to
serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or
the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any
other jurisdiction.
