REGISTRATION RIGHTS




2.1

Shelf Registration.  (a)

Within 45 days from the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”) the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of 100% of the Registrable Securities (the “Target  Registration Amount”)on such Filing Date for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith) and shall contain  substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as  Exhibit A. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 120 days of the Closing Date (the “Required Effectiveness Date”), and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the affected Holders, but in no event for more than four (4) years following the Effective Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Business Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of a Registration Statement. The Company shall on the Business Day after the Effective Date file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. 




(b)

In the event the Company fails to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date for any reason other than Subscriber’s failure to provide information requested by the Company for the completion and filing of the Registration Statement, 














the Company shall pay to Subscriber as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) two percent (2%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price, prorated, for each 30 day period until the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC. If the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date, the Company shall pay to Subscriber, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to 1.5% of the Aggregate Purchase Price, prorated, for each 30 day period the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission for the period from the Required Effectiveness Date until the first anniversary date of the Closing Date; any liquidated damages payable hereunder shall be paid in cash by the Company to Subscriber by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the last day of each calendar month following the event requiring its payment. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding no liquidated damages shall be payable hereunder if the failure to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Required Effectiveness Date is due to an SEC Share Reduction (as defined below).







(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is advised by the Staff of the Commission in a written comment letter that it is not eligible to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities under Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act because of the number of shares sought to be included in the Registration Statement, then the Company may reduce (an “SEC Share Reduction”) the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable the Company to effect such registration in accordance with the provisions of Rule 415 (“Rule 415 Eligible”).  In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, the priority of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement shall be as follows: the Unit Shares, next the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrant, and then the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Warrant.  Any cut back of Registrable Securities will be applied pro rata to each holder in proportion to the number of Unit Shares held by each Holder.  In the event that, due to an SEC Share Reduction or otherwise, any Registration Statement filed hereunder shall (when combined with any previous Registration Statements that are current and effective) register a number of shares of Common Stock which less than the Target Registration Amount (a “Target Registration Shortfall”), then the unregistered portion of the Target Registration Amount (the “Target Registration Shortfall Amount”) shall be included in the next Additional Registration Statement (in accordance with Section 3(b) below).  




(c)

In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, the Company shall prepare and file an additional Registration Statement no later than 45 days following the later of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date substantially all (as such term is then interpreted by the Commission) of the Registrable Securities registered under the immediately preceding Registration Statement are sold and (ii) the date that is six (6) months following the date of effectiveness of the most recently effective Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement filed hereunder.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective within 














sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date (the “Additional Registration Effectiveness Deadline”) or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares.  




2.2  Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (i) the Company shall determine to file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), and (ii) there is not then a Registration Statement in effect with respect to the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall send to the Signatory written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Signatory shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities the Signatory requests to be registered, except that if, (i) inclusion of such shares would result in the offering not being Rule 415 Eligible, or (ii) in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Signatory has requested inclusion hereunder (i) as would enable the offering to be Rule 415 Eligible or (ii) as the underwriter shall permit;




2.3

Expenses of Registration.  All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (C) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the NASD/FINRA Rule 2710, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company;, (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 














In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions or, except to the extent otherwise provided for in the Subscription Agreement, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.







SECTION 3

In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:




(a) 

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Business Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Business Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement (with such changes as may be required to reasonably comply with all then applicable federal and state securities laws) as Exhibit B (the “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) not less than two Business Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth Business Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.




(b) (i) 

Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus 














supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.




(c) 

Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one Business Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the  Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of the Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law;  provided, further, notwithstanding each Holder's agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public 














information.




(d) 

Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.




(e) 

Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.




(f)

 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(c).




(g) 

Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.




(h) 

If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.




(i) 

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company's good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a 














supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an 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 under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month period.

(k) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons that have voting and dispositive control over the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the Holder. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Business Days of the Company's request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. The Company may require, at any time prior to the Filing Date, each Holder to furnish to the Company a statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and, if requested by the Commission and the Holder is not an individual, the controlling person thereof, within three business days of the Company’s request.

5.3

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. 




(a)

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.




             (b)

  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the expense of one such counsel for each Holder shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder 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 such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such Registration Statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion in proportion to the securities offered by and sold by each under such Registration Statement; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.




5.6

Survival.  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, and otherwise.




SECTION 6

GENERAL PROVISIONS




6.1

Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Com­pany or by a Holder, of 














any of their obliga­tions under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of dam­ages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate com­pensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as may be permitted under the Subscription Agreement.




6.5

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.

6.7

Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

6.9

Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or other­wise affect the meaning hereof.




6.10

Shares Held by the Company and its Affiliates.  Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, the Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than 














any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.




6.11

Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights.  




The Holder who is a party to this Agreement, acknowledges that the Company is entering into substantially identical agreements with other holders of the Company’s Registrable Securities; each such agreement being deemed a separate and independent agreement between the Company and such other Holders, except that each Holder acknowledges and consents to the rights granted to each other Holder under such agreements. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and neither Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.




6.12.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with all the exhibits hereto, constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof.  




6.13

Third Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.




6.14

In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding is instituted concerning or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, the prevailing party shall recover all of such party’s costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in each such action, suit or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom.




6.15

Adjustments for Stock Splits and Certain Other Changes.  Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or stock dividend of such class or series of stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by 














such subdivision, combination or stock dividend. 




6.16

Rule 144 Reporting.

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities 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 under the Securities Act, at all times during the Effectiveness Period; and




(b)

use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act during the Effectiveness Period.




6.17

Governing Law.   The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its shareholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, 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.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Exhibit A




To the Registration Rights Agreement




Plan of Distribution




Each Selling Stockholder, or his pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest of the common stock may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

 

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

 

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

 

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

·

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

 

·

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

 

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

 

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under 














this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASD/FINRAR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD/FINRAR IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. 




The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 














We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, or (iii) FOUR (4)  years from the date that the registration statement was ordered effective by the Commission. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

  

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

ANNEX A




Definitions




The term “affiliate” means a person or entity that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries  controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another person.




The term “arrangement” means any plan, contract, authorization or understanding, whether or not set forth in a formal document.




The term “associate” as used throughout the Questionnaire, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any subsidiary) of which you are an officer, director, member or partner or of which you are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, (c) your spouse, (d) any relative of your spouse or any relative of yours who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer or key executive of the Company or any subsidiary, (e) any partner, syndicate member or person with whom you have agreed to act in concert with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting or disposition of shares of the Company’s securities.




The term “beneficially,” when used in connection with the ownership of securities, means (a) any interest in a security which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership even though you may not be the owner of record or (b) securities owned by you directly or indirectly, including those held by you for your own benefit (regardless of how registered) and securities held by others for your benefit (regardless of how registered), such as by custodians, brokers, nominees, pledges, etc., and including securities held by an estate or trust in which you have an interest as legatee or beneficiary, securities owned by a partnership of which you are a partner, securities held by a personal holding company of which you are a shareholder, shares held by a public company of which you are a director, officer or holder of more than a 5% interest, and securities held in the name of your spouse, minor children and any relative of yours (sharing the same home) or your spouse.  




A “beneficial owner” of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares:




(1)

voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or




(2)

investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of such security.




The term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the person specified, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.




A “control person” of a specified person is a person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls the person specified.




The term “executive officer(s)” means the president, any vice president in charge of a 














principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), any other officer who performs a policy making function or any person who performs similar policy making functions for the Company (or other entity that may be indicated).




The term “family relationship” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.




The term “immediate family” includes the spouse; parents; children; siblings; mothers and fathers-in-law; sons and daughters-in-law; and brothers and sisters-in-law of the person specified.




The term “material relationship” has not been defined by the SEC.  However, the SEC has indicated that it will probably construe as a “material relationship” any relationship which tends to prevent arms-length bargaining in dealings with a company, whether arising from a close business connection or family relationship, a relationship of control or otherwise.  It seems prudent, therefore, to consider that you would have such a relationship, for example, with any organization of which you are an officer, director, trustee or partner or in which you own, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the outstanding voting stock, or in which you have some other substantial interest, and with any person or organization with whom you have, or with whom any relative or spouse (or any other person or organization as to which you have any of the foregoing other relationships) has, a contractual relationship.




The FINRA defines a “member” as being any broker or dealer or individual, partnership, corporation or other legal entity admitted to membership in the FINRA or any officer or partner of such a member, or the executive representative of such a member or the substitute for such a rep
