EXHIBIT 10.13

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT dated as of September ___, 2004, between MONARCH POINTE FUND, LTD., (the “Fund”) and MERCATOR ADVISORY GROUP, LLC (“Mercator”) (the Fund and Mercator are referred to individually as a “Holder” and collectively as the “Holders”), and CARE CONCEPTS I, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Fund has purchased, for $3,500,000, an aggregate of 35,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Stock”) from the Company, and has the right to cause its Series E Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, pursuant to the conversion formula set forth in the Certificate of Determination; 

WHEREAS, the Fund and Mercator have purchased a Warrant (together, the “Warrants”) from the Company, and the Holders, together, have the right to purchase in the aggregate up to 430,504 shares of the Common Stock through the exercise of the Warrants; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Holders the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series E Stock and the exercise of the Warrants, as well as the Penthouse Principal Stockholders Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: 

1.

Registrable Securities. As used herein the terms “Registrable Security” means each of the shares of Common Stock (i) issued upon the conversion of the Series E Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) or (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”); provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination that (a) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and disposed of pursuant thereto, or (b) registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for the immediate public distribution of such security. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1. 

2.

Registration. 

(a)

The Company shall file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) within forty-five (45) days from the date of this Agreement in order to register the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company shall promptly respond to all comments from the staff of the Commission and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission within seventy (70) days after the initial filing thereof. Once effective, the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have





1














been sold, or (ii) the date thatthe Company receives an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration under the Securities Act, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise. 

(b)

As the number of shares of Common Stock that can be acquired by the Holders upon the conversion of the Series E Stock may vary, from time to time, based on the market price of the Common Stock, it is not possible to determine the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holders through the conversion of the Series E Stock. Therefore, the Company will initially include in the Registration Statement as Registrable Securities, an aggregate of 7,430,504 shares of Common Stock, represented by the sum of (i) up to 7,000,000 Conversion Shares, and (ii) 430,504 Warrants.

(c)

If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement is less than the sum of (i) the number of any and all Registrable Securities held by the Holders, (ii) the number of Warrant Shares that could be acquired by the Holders through the exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) the number of Conversion Shares that could be acquired by the Holders through the conversion of the Series E Stock, the Company shall register additional shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act. 

(d)

Depending on whether the Registration Statement has previously become effective with the Commission, the Company shall register additional shares under Section 2(c) either by amending the Registration Statement to increase the number of shares that it covers or by filing a new registration statement. Any such new registration statement shall thereafter be deemed part of the Registration Statement for the purposes of this Agreement. 

3.

Covenants of the Company with Respect to Registration.

The Company covenants and agrees as follows: 

(a)

The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective with the Commission as promptly as possible and in no event more than 100 days after the date of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Holders or in default of this covenant in event that the Commission’s review process delays such effectiveness). If any stop order shall be issued by the Commission in connection therewith, the Company shall use its best reasonable efforts to obtain promptly the removal of such order. Following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder, forthwith supply such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus and prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, and any other documents necessary or incidental to the public offering of the Registrable Securities, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder to permit the Holder to make a public distribution of the Holder's Registrable Securities. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the Holder's Registrable Securities are subject to the Holder's furnishing to the Company such appropriate information concerning the Holder, the Holder's Registrable Securities and the terms of the Holder's offering of such Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request in writing. 





2














(b)

The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses; provided, however, that each Holder shall be solely responsible for the fees of any counsel retained by the Holder in connection with such registration and any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees applicable to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holder pursuant thereto. 

(c)

The Company will take all necessary action which may be required to qualify or register the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by each Holder of such securities, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction. 

4.

Additional Terms.

(a)

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holders and each underwriter, within the meaning of the Securities Act, who may purchase from or sell for any Holder, any Registrable Securities, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities, any post-effective amendment to such registration statements, or any prospectus included therein or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished or required to be furnished in writing to the Company by the Holders or underwriter expressly for use therein, which indemnification shall include each person, if any, who controls any Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of each Holder and underwriter; provided, however, that the indemnification in this Section 4(a) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling any Holder or underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage or liability arising from the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holder or underwriter, if a copy of a subsequent prospectus correcting the untrue statement or omission in such earlier prospectus was provided to such Holder or underwriter by the Company prior to the subject sale and the subsequent prospectus was not delivered or sent by the Holder or underwriter to the purchaser prior to such sale and provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated to so indemnify any Holder or any such underwriter or other person referred to above unless the Holder or underwriter or other person, as the case may be, shall at the same time indemnify the Company, its directors, each officer signing the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any registration statement or any prospectus required to be filed or furnished by reason of this Agreement or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein. 





3














(b)

If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

(c)

Neither the filing of a Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to this Agreement nor the making of any request for prospectuses by the Holder shall impose upon any Holder any obligation to sell the Holder's Registrable Securities. 

(d)

Each Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company that an event has occurred which requires a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus included therein, shall promptly discontinue the sale of Registrable Securities until the Holder receives a copy of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, which the Company shall provide as soon as practicable after such notice. 

(e)

If the Company fails to keep the Registration Statement referred to above continuously effective during the requisite period, then the Company shall, promptly upon the request of any Holder, use its best efforts to update the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities remaining unsold, subject to the terms and provisions hereof. 

(f)

Each Holder agrees to provide the Company with any information or undertakings reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company to include any appropriate information concerning the Holder in the Registration Statement or in order to promote compliance by the Company or the Holder with the Securities Act. 

(g)

The Company agrees that it shall cause each of its directors, officers and shareholders owning ten percent (10%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to refrain from selling any shares of the Company’s Common Stock until the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

(h)

Each Holder agrees with the Company that such Holder will not short sell the Company’s shares of Common Stock, either before or after the effective date of the Registration Statement. This covenant shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Company's obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a).

5.

This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made and delivered in the State of California and shall be governed as to validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the choice of law rules thereof.
