     2.     REGISTRATION.

a.     Mandatory  Registration.  Within  fifteen (15) days of the Company filing
its  Form 10K for 2005, but in no event later than October 15, 2005 (the "Filing
Deadline"),  the  Company  shall  prepare  and  file with the SEC a Registration
Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form SB-2 (or, if such
form  is unavailable for such a registration, on such other form as is available
for  such  a  registration),  covering  the  resale  of  all  of the Registrable
Securities, which Registration Statement(s) shall state that, in accordance with
Rule 416 promulgated under the 1933 Act, such Registration Statement also covers
such  indeterminate  number  of  additional shares of Common Stock as may become
issuable  upon  stock  splits,  stock  dividends  or  similar transactions.  The
Company  shall initially register for resale an amount of shares of Common Stock
which  would  be  issuable  on the date preceding the filing of the Registration
Statement  based  on  the  Fixed  Conversion  Price (as defined in the Debenture
Agreement)  of the Company's Common Stock on such date and the amount reasonably
calculated  that  represents the number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms
of  the  Offering,  including those Shares underlying the Warrant Agreement. The
total  amount  of  Shares  shall  be both 1) the amount specified in the Warrant
Agreement  and  2)  the  Face  Amount  of  the  Debenture  divided  by the Fixed
Conversion  Price.  For  example,  if  the  Fixed Conversion Price is one dollar
(1.00) per share, the amount of Shares to be registered will be one million five
hundred  thousand  (1,500,000)  shares.  (1,500,000/1.00).  In  the  event  the
Company  cannot register sufficient shares of Common Stock, due to the remaining
number of authorized shares of Common Stock being insufficient, the Company will
use  its  best  efforts to register the maximum number of shares it can based on
the  remaining  balance  of  authorized  shares and will use its best efforts to
increase  the number of its authorized shares as soon as reasonably practicable.


b.     The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement
filed  with  the  SEC  by  the  Filing  Deadline.  If the Registration Statement
covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to  Section  2(a)  hereof is not filed by the Filing Deadline,, then the Company
shall  pay  the  Holder  the  sum  of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount of the
Debentures,  outstanding  as  liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for each
thirty  (30)  calendar  day  period,  pro  rata, compounded daily, following the
Filing  Deadline  until  the  Registration Statement is filed.  In addition, for
each thirty (30) calendar period the Registration Statement goes without filing,
the  Conversion Price of the Debentures will decrease by ten percent (10%).  For
example,  in  the event that upon the one (1) day after the Filing Deadline, the
Registration  Statement  has  not  been filed with the SEC, the Conversion Price
shall  decrease  by  ten  cents  (.10)  per  share.  (1.00*10%=.10).

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant
to  this  Section  shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the filing of
the  Registration  Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act or
to  act  timely  by  the  Holder.  The  damages  set forth in this Section shall
continue  until  the  obligation is fulfilled and shall be paid within three (3)
business  days  after each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, until the
Registration  Statement is filed.  Failure of the Company to make payment within
said  three  (3)  business  days  shall  be  considered  a  default.

     The  Company  acknowledges  that  its  failure  to  have  the  Registration
Statement  filed  by the Filing Deadline will cause the Holder to suffer damages
in  an  amount  that  will  be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties
agree  that  it  is  appropriate  to  include  in this Agreement 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.  The
payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations
to  register the Common Stock and deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms
of  this  Agreement,  the  Subscription  Agreement  and  the  Debenture.

c.     The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement
declared  effective by the SEC within ninety (90) calendar days after the Filing
Date. If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required
to  be  filed  by  the  Company  pursuant  to Section 2(a) hereof has not become
                                                                  ===     ======
effective  within  ninety (90) calendar days following the Filing Date, then the
Company  shall  pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount as
liquidated  damages  and  not  as  a  penalty  for each thirty (30) calendar day
period,  pro  rata, compounded daily, following the one ninety (90) calendar day
period  until  the  Registration  Statement  is  declared  effective.

     If  the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities required
to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof has become effective,
                                                           ==========
but  after  the effective date the Holder's right to sell is suspended, then the
Company shall pay the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount plus
interest and penalties due to the Holder for the Registrable Securities pursuant
to  the  Subscription  Agreement  for  each thirty (30) calendar day period, pro
rata,  compounded  daily, following the suspension until such suspension ceases.

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant
to  this  Section  shall  not  be  payable  to  the  extent  any  delay  in  the
effectiveness  of  the  Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a
failure  to  act  or  to act timely by the Holder. The damages set forth in this
Section  shall  continue  until  the  obligation  is fulfilled and shall be paid
within  three  (3)  business  days after each thirty (30) day period, or portion
thereof,  until  the  Registration  Statement  is  declared  effective  or  such
suspension  is  released.  Failure  of  the  Company to make payment within said
three  (3)  business  days  shall  be  considered  a  default.

     The  Company  acknowledges  that  its  failure  to  have  the  Registration
Statement  become  effective  within  said ninety (90) calendar day period or to
           ======
permit  the  suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, will
cause  the  Holder  to  suffer  damages  in  an amount that will be difficult to
ascertain.  Accordingly,  the parties agree that it is appropriate to include in
this  Agreement 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.  The payment of liquidated damages shall not relieve the
Company from its obligations to register the Common Stock and deliver the Common
Stock  pursuant  to  the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and
the  Debenture.

d.     The  Company  agrees  not  to  include  any  other  securities,  in  this
Registration  Statement  without  Holder  prior  written consent, unless for the
Holder.  Furthermore,  the  Company  agrees  that  it  will  not  file any other
Registration Statement, including those on Form S-8, for other securities (other
than those for existing option holders, strategic partners or in connection with
a  merger  or  acquisition),  until  three hundred and sixty (360) calendar days
after the Effective Date unless it has written approval from the Holder. Failure
to  obtain  written  approval  from  the  Holder will cause the Holder to suffer
damages  that  will  be  difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties agree
that  it  is  appropriate  to include a provision for liquidated damages and the
Company agrees to pay, the Holder the sum of two percent (2%) of the Face Amount
as  liquidated  damages  and  not as a penalty for each thirty (30) calendar day
period,  pro  rata,  compounded  daily,  until  the  unauthorized  Registration
Statement  is  withdrawn.

     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 use its best
efforts  to  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 its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement  relating  to  the  Registrable  Securities to become effective within
ninety  (90)  calendar  days  after  the  date  and shall keep such Registration
Statement  effective pursuant to Rule 415 until the date on which (A) the Holder
shall  have  sold all the Registrable Securities and (B) the Holder has no right
to  convert  the  Shares  it  owns  into  Common  Stock  under  the Subscription
Agreement,  Debenture  Agreement  or  Warrant  Agreement,  respectively  (the
"Registration  Period"),  which 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 respond
to  any  and all SEC comments or correspondence, whether written or oral, direct
or  indirect, formal or informal ("Comments"), within seven (7) business days of
receipt by the Company of such Comments.  If the Company fails to respond within
seven (7) business days of receipt of SEC Comments, the Company shall pay to the
Holder  an  amount  equal  to  two  percent (2%) per month, on a pro rata basis,
compounded daily, of the Face Amount as liquidated damages and not as a penalty;
provided  that  the  seven  (7)  business  day  period  provided herein shall be
extended  as  may  be  required by delays caused by Holder's counsel pursuant to
paragraph  3g  below,  and,  provided  further, that such seven (7) business day
period  shall  be  extended  two  (2)  business  days for responses to SEC staff
accounting  comments.  The  Company  shall  cause  the  Registration  Statement
relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective no later than two (2)
business days after notice from the SEC that the Registration Statement has been
cleared  of all comments. Failure to do so will result in the Face Amount on the
Debentures  to  be  increased  by five percent (5%) per calendar day the Company
does  not  request  acceleration  from  the  SEC,  as  liquidated  damages.

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 Holder thereof
as  set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the event the number of shares
of  Common Stock available under 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  it  best  efforts  to  cause such amendment and/or new
Registration  Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing  thereof.

     Prior to conversion of all the Shares, if at any time the conversion of all
                                                  ========
the  Shares  outstanding  would  result  in an insufficient number of authorized
shares  of  Common Stock being available to cover all the conversions, or in the
event,  that  Holder  deems that the Shares authorized will become insufficient,
then  in  such  event,  the  Company  will move to call and hold a shareholder's
meeting  within  thirty (30) calendar days of such event for the sole purpose of
authorizing  additional  shares  of  Common Stock to facilitate the conversions.
In  such an event the Company shall recommend to all shareholders and management
of the Company to vote their shares in favor of increasing the authorized number
of  shares  of  Common Stock.  The Company represents and warrants that under no
circumstances  will  it  deny or prevent Holder's right to convert the Shares as
permitted  under  the  terms of this Subscription Agreement or this Registration
Rights Agreement. The Holder retains the right to request additional shares upon
the  determination  the company may not be able to facilitate conversions in the
future.

c     The  Company  shall furnish to the Holder 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,  a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement  and  all  amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of
copies  as  the  Holder  may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents,
including  copies  of  any  preliminary  or  final prospectus, as the Holder may
reasonably  request  from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of
the  Registrable Securities.  The Company filing the documents described in this
paragraph  through  EDGAR  shall  constitute  delivery.

d.     The  Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
Registrable  Securities covered by a Registration Statement under the applicable
securities  or  "blue sky" laws of such states of the United States as specified
by  the  Holder,  (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),  (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or  (z)  file  a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
The Company shall promptly notify 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  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  deliver  ten  (10)  copies  of such
supplement  or amendment to Holder (or such other number of copies as Holder may
reasonably  request).  Failure  to cure the Registration Default within five (5)
business  days  shall  result  in  the  Company paying liquidated damages of two
percent  (2%)  of  the  Face  Amount for each thirty (30) calendar day period or
portion  thereof,  beginning  on  the date of suspension. The Company shall also
promptly  notify  Holder  in  writing  (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 (notification of
such  effectiveness shall be delivered to Holder by facsimile on the same day of
such  effectiveness  and  by overnight mail), (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) the
Registration  Statement is stale for a period of more than five (5) Trading Days
as  a  result  of  the  Company's  failure  to  timely  file  its  financials.

     The  Company acknowledges that its failure to cure the Registration Default
within  three  (3)  business  days will cause the Holder to suffer damages in an
amount that will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the parties agree that
it  is  appropriate  to  include  in  this  Agreement 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 Holder 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 Holder, 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 its best 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  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 Holder and a single firm of counsel, designated
as  selling  shareholders'  counsel  by  the  Holder  who hold a majority of the
Registrable  Securities  being  sold,  to review and comment upon a Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least seven (7) 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 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 any Holder, the Company shall cause to be furnished to
Holder,  on  the  date  of  the  effectiveness  of  a Registration Statement, an
opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes
of  such  Registration  Statement,  in  the  form  of  Exhibit D attached to the
Subscription  Agreement.

i.     The  Company  shall  make available for inspection by (i) Holder and (ii)
one  firm  of  attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by
the  Holder  (collectively,  the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other
records,  and  pertinent  corporate  documents  and  properties  of  the Company
(collectively,  the  "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.  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  Holder  and  allow  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  its  best  efforts  to  secure  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 its
best 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.  If,
despite  the  Company's  best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying
the  two  preceding  sentences,  it  will  use  its  best  efforts to secure the
inclusion  for  quotation with Pink Sheets, LLC.  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 Holder to facilitate the timely
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 Holder may reasonably request and registered in such
names  of  the  Persons  who  shall acquire such Registrable Securities from the
Holder,  as  the  Holder  may  request.

m.     The  Company  shall  provide  a  transfer  agent  for all the Registrable
Securities  not  later than the Closing Date of the first Registration Statement
filed  pursuant  hereto.

n.     If  requested  by  the  Holder  holding  a  majority  of  the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practical incorporate in
a  prospectus  supplement or post-effective amendment such information as Holder
reasonably  determines  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 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  Holder.

o.     The  Company  shall  use  its  best  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.

p.     Intentionally  omitted.

q.     The  Company  shall  otherwise  use  its  best efforts to comply with all
applicable  rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration
hereunder.

r.     Within  one  (1)  business  day  after  the  Registration Statement which
includes  Registrable  Securities  is declared effective by the SEC, the Company
shall  deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer  agent  for  such  Registrable  Securities,  with copies to the Holder,
confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC  in  the  form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Failure to do so will result in
the  Face Amount on the Debentures to be increased by  two percent (2%) per day,
as  liquidated  damages.

s.     Subsequent  to the SEC declared the Registration Statement cleared of all
comments  and  the Company's acceptance of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, the Company shall file a prospectus covering the resale of the Shares
("Prospectus")  within  two (2) trading days.  In the event the Company does not
file  the Prospectus within two (2) trading days of the Effective Date, then the
Company shall pay the Holder the sum of five percent (5%) of the Face Amount due
to  the  Holder for each two (2) trading day period, pro rata, compounded daily,
following  the  two  (2)  trading  day  period  until  the  Prospectus  is filed

t.     The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite
and facilitate disposition by the Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration  Statement.

     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 Holder in writing of
the  information  the  Company  requires  from  Holder.  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 the
Holder  that  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 resale 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 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.

c.     Holder  agrees  that,  upon receipt of any 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), Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities  pursuant  to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable
Securities  until  Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus  contemplated  by  Section  3(f)  or  the  first  sentence  of  3(e).

     5.     EXPENSES  OF  REGISTRATION.

     All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions,
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.

     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 Holder who holds such Registrable
Securities,  the  directors,  officers,  partners,  employees,  agents,
representatives  of,  and  each  Person,  if any, who controls Holder within the
meaning  of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"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 Registrable Securities are
offered  ("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  Holder  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  occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information  furnished  in  writing  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,  if  such
prospectus  were  timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c);
(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; and (iii) shall not apply to 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 Holder pursuant to the
Registration  Statement.

b.          In  connection  with  any  Registration Statement in which Holder is
participating,  Holder  agrees  to  severally  and  not  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 (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 occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written  information  furnished  to  the  Company by Holder expressly for use in
connection  with  such  Registration  Statement;  and,  subject to Section 6(c),
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  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  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  Holder  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.

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 indemnifying party, the
representation  by  such  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
Holder  holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in
the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates, if the Holder is 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  indemnification  required  by  this  Section 6 shall be made by
periodic  payments  of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or  defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e.          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.

     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: (i) 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;  (ii)  no  seller  of  Registrable  Securities  guilty  of  fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled  to  contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not
guilty  of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) 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.
     8.     8.  REPORTS  UNDER  THE  EXHANGE  ACT.
With  a  view  to  making  available  to  the Investors the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated  under  the  Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the
SEC  that may at any time permit the Investors 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 Securities Act and the Exchange 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 4(c) of the
Securities  Purchase  Agreement)  and  the  filing  of  such  reports  and other
documents  as  are  required  by  the  applicable  provisions  of  Rule 144; and
(c)  furnish  to  each  Investor  so  long  as  such  Investor  owns Registrable
Securities,  promptly  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, (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
Investors  to  sell  such  securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

     9.     NO  ASSIGNMENT  OF  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.

     The  rights  under  this  Agreement  shall  not  be  assignable.

     10.     AMENDMENT  OF  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.

     Provisions  of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or  prospectively),  only  with the written consent of the Company and Holder of
the  Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with
this Section 10 shall be binding upon Holder and the Company.  No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Holders
of the Registrable Securities.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person  to  amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any
of  this  Agreement  unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the
parties  to  this  Agreement.

     11.     MISCELLANEOUS.

a.     A Person is deemed to be a Holder of Registrable Securities whenever such
Person  owns  of  record  such  Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives

of  instructions,  notice or election received from the registered owner of such
Registrable  Securities.

                                                        =====================
Subscription Agreement) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto

agreements,  certificates,  instruments  and  documents,  as the other party may
reasonably  request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes

The  Holder's  delay or failure at any time or times hereafter to require strict
performance  by  Company  of any undertakings, agreements or covenants shall not

the  Company  contained  in  this  Agreement,  and no Event of Default, shall be
deemed  to  have  been  waived by the Holder, nor may this Agreement be amended,
changed  or  modified,  unless such waiver, amendment, change or modification is
evidenced  by an instrument in writing specifying such waiver, amendment, change
or  modification  and  signed  by  the  Holder.

          13.  Payment  of  Penalties

Any  accrued  penalties  incurred  herein by the Company for failure to act in a
timely  manner,  as  described  in  this Agreement, shall be charged to the Face
