registration and thereafter on a quarterly basis after the first Demand
Registration shall have been declared effective by the Commission registrations

(iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities
Act or Exchange Act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(c) If the holder of the Registrable Securities requesting a Demand Registration
elects to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request in an
underwritten offering, it shall so advise the Company as a part of their request
made pursuant to Section 2(a). The holder of the Registrable Securities
requesting the Demand Registration shall select the investment banking firm or
firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such
offering; provided, that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
 
(d) The Company shall not grant registration rights to any other holder of the
Company’s securities for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of this
Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from
filing a registration statement solely for the Company’s account including
without limitation, a registration statement relating to any employee benefit
plan filed on Form S-8 or similar form or, with respect to any corporate
reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, a
registration statement on Form S-4 or similar form, or any registration
statement relating to the registration of securities issued to raise financing
for the Company.
 
3. Lock-up Agreement. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that in
connection with any public offering of the Company's Common Stock or other
equity securities, and upon the request of the managing underwriter in such
offering, such holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such
managing underwriter, during the thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of
such registration and ending on the date specified by such managing underwriter
(such period not to exceed ninety (90) days in the case of any registration) (a)
offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the
Holder or are thereafter acquired), or (b) enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction
described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common
Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions
of this Section 3 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be
included in such offering pursuant to Section 2(a) and shall be applicable to
the holder of Registrable Securities only if all officers and directors of the
Company and all stockholders owning more than ten (10%) percent of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions. Each holder of
Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as
may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are
consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect
thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3,
each holder of Registrable Securities shall be released, pro rata, from any
lock-up agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3 in the event and to
the extent that the managing underwriter or the Company permit any discretionary
waiver or termination of the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to
any officer, director or holder of greater than ten (10%) percent of the
outstanding Common Stock.

Securities request that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to the

accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto

(c) within a reasonable time before filing such Registration Statement,

disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; provided, that
the Company shall have no such obligation to deliver the Prospectus or

at the request of such holder, the Company shall prepare a supplement or

of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading;
 
(h) make available for inspection by the selling holder of Registrable

Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against all losses, claims, actions, damages,
liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing
Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or
are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus,
free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities
Act) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state
securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to
the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and shall
reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or
contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder
expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the
Registration Statement, Prospectus, free-writing prospectus (as defined in Rule
405 promulgated under the Securities Act) or any amendments or supplements
thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after
the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the
same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities.
 
(b) In connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable
Securities is participating, such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing

Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the
holders of Registrable Securities and each Person who controls any of the
foregoing Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, actions, damages,
liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary
Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under
the Securities Act) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent
that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or
affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation
to indemnify shall be limited to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees,
commissions or discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement
of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 6, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The
failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such
action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on
the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in
respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In
case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the
claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to
indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof; provided, that if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to
such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available
to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could
have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided
hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against
any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party's prior
written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate
therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse
such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for
that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified
party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity
provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not
to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment
of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right
to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holder of the Registrable
Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying
party.
 
(d) If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to
any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 action as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum
amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the
case of the holder of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net
proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received
by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such
registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of
fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person.

 
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
(e) Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in
any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees
to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
 
7. Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the holder of
Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any
other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant
to a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor form), the Company shall:
 
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the
Registration Date;
 
(b) use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner
all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, at any time after the Company has become subject to such
reporting requirements; and
 
(c) furnish to the holder so long as the holder owns Registrable Securities,
promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance
with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed
or furnished by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection
with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration.
 
8. Preservation of Rights. The Company shall not enter into any agreement, take
any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that
violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement.
 
9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding;
provided, that the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 shall survive any such
termination.
 
10. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b)
when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight
courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document
(with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the

Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not
affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
 
14. Amendment, Modification and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may
only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent
of the Company and the holder of the Registrable Securities. No waiver by any
party or parties shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any
failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver,
whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or
after that waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure
to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
 
15. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement
or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other
jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to
the greatest extent possible.
 
16. Remedies. The holder of Registrable Securities, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages,
shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
The Company acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions
of this Agreement and the Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
17. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada
without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of Nevada or any other jurisdiction). Any legal suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the
United States or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the
city of New York and County of New York, and each party irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or
proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to
such party's address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for
any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties
irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and
agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

18. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any
controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve
complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of
any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and
acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered
the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily,
and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other
things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 20.

shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one
