jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;

      


      (e)           in the event of any underwritten public
offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting

offering.

       

      (f)         
  cause all such
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement hereunder to be

exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed;

       

      (g)           provide a transfer agent and registrar

                5.

              	
                Indemnification.

              


      

      


      (a)           By
Company. With respect to each registration, qualification or compliance effected
pursuant to this Agreement for which the Registrable Securities held by a Holder
are included, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each such Holder, the
partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal
counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in Section
15 of the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls
such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein 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, or any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act applicable to the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each such underwriter and each
person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be
specifically for use therein.  If the Holders are represented by
counsel other than counsel for the Company, the Company will not be obligated
under this Section 5(a) to reimburse legal fees and expenses of more than one
separate counsel for Holders.


      
        
           


        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

       

      (b)           By
Holders. Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities
held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such
registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the
Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the
Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who
controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, and each other such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages
and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any 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, such Holders for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this
subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the net proceeds from the
offering received by such Holder, unless such registration liability arises out
of or is based on willful conduct by such Holder.

      


      (c)           Procedures.
Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 (the “Indemnified
Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the “Indemnifying
Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any
claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying
Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct
the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified
Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified
Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided
further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided
herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an
Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action and provided further that the
Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is
a conflict of interest or separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

      


      6.        
   Information
By Holder.
Holders including any Registrable Securities in any registration shall furnish
to the Company such information regarding such Holders as shall be necessary to
enable the Company to comply with the provisions hereof in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this
Agreement.

      7.           
Reports
Under Exchange Act.  With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated 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, the Company agrees to:

       

      (a)           make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times
so long as the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

       

      (b)           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; and

       

      (c)           furnish to any Holder, so long as the
Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a
written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it
qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-1
(at any time after it so qualifies), (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 in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission
which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or
pursuant to such form.

       

      8.       
    Limitations
on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into
any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the
Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include
such securities in any registration unless under the terms of such agreement,
such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such
registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not
reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included
or (b) to demand registration of any securities held by such holder or
prospective holder.

       

      9.           
Miscellaneous.

      


      (a)           Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of Nevada,
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

      


      (b)           Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any
term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written
consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities, voting as a class. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this paragraph will be binding upon each Holder and the
Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be
amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder may not be waived
with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder, unless
such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Holders in the same
fashion.  The Company shall give prompt written notice of any
amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did
not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver.  Any
amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall
be binding on all parties hereto, even if they do not execute such
consent.  No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or
provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to
be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition
or provision.


      
        
           


        

        
          5

          
            

          

        

        
           


        

      

       

      (c)           Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegally invalid, unenforceable or void,
this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision.
In such event, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, a legal, valid and
binding substitute provision which most nearly effects the intent of the parties
in entering into this Agreement.

      


      (d)           Notices.
All notices to Holders will be mailed by registered or certified mail to the
addresses maintained in the Company’s records for such Holders. Notices will be
effective three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. Mail.

      


      (e)           Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and
the same instrument.

      


      (f)           Titles
and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement.

      


      (g)           Transfers, Successors and
Assigns.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the parties.

      


      (h)           Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto, if
any) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral
agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are
expressly canceled.
