has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(b)
shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth
above.




3.         
   Registration
Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Closing Shares under the
Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:




(a)      
     prepare and file with the Commission a
Registration Statement with respect to such Closing Shares, respond as promptly
as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and
promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters
of comment relating thereto;




(b)        
   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Closing Shares covered by such
Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until
the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration
Statement;




(c)       
    furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each
preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate
the public sale or disposition of the Closing Shares covered by such
Registration Statement;




(d)      
     use its commercially reasonable efforts to
register or qualify the Purchaser’s Closing Shares covered by such Registration
Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within
the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however,
that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally
to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is
not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction;




3




(e)    
       list the Closing Shares covered by
such Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common
Stock of the Company is then listed;




(f)   
        immediately notify the Purchaser
at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has
knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing; and




(g)           make
available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the
attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.




Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon written notice from the Company, the
Company may require that the Holders suspend offers and sales of Closing Shares
pursuant to Section 7 hereof due to the fact that (1) (a) there is material
non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”), after advice of legal counsel, reasonably determines
not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the Company is
not otherwise required to then disclose or (b) there is a significant business
opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of
assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger,
consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction available to the
Company which the Board reasonably determines would be seriously detrimental to
the Company and its shareholders to then disclose, and which the Company would
be required to disclose in a Registration Statement; provided that such period (a
“Blackout Period”) shall end on the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which
the circumstances that give rise to the commencement of the period would no
longer cause the registration and distribution of the Closing Shares to be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders and (ii) such time as
the Company (A) notifies the Holders that the Company will no longer delay such
filing of the registration statement, (B) recommences steps to make such
registration statement effective or (c) allows sales pursuant to such
registration statement to resume; provided further in no event shall the
aggregate Blackout Periods in any rolling 12-month period exceed 60 days in the
aggregate for such 12-month period.




4.          
  Registration
Expenses.  All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance
with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration
and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one
counsel for the Holders are called “Registration Expenses”. All selling
commissions applicable to the sale of Closing Shares, including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in
Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.”  The Company
shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.




4




5.         
   Indemnification.




(a)            In
the event of a registration of any Closing Shares under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls
such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder, or such
persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such
Closing Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
will reimburse such Holder, and each such person for any reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any
such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.




(b)       
    In the event of a registration of the Closing Shares
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each
other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was
furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and
such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such
Closing Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the
Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf
of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such
document.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the
Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of
the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of
Closing Shares in connection with any such registration under the Securities
Act.




5




(c)       
    Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim
indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such
Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other
than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which
it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the
extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such
action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party
of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for
any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then
the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel,
provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests
of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests
of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select
one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees
of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.




(d)     
      In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any
case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling
person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may
be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or
controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification
is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities
offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any
such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it
pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.




6




6.            
Representations and
Warranties.




(a)        
   The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or
12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the
Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on Schedule 12(u) to the
Security Agreement, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act since December 31, 2006.  The Company has filed
(i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006
and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March
31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 (collectively, the “SEC
Reports”).  Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in
substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of
the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included
in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted 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.  The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in
the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include
footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company
and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods
presented in each such SEC Report.




(b)        
   Except as set forth in Schedule 6(b) hereto, the Common Stock
is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and satisfies all
requirements for the continuation of such listing, and the Company shall do all
things necessary for the continuation of such listing.  Except as set
forth on Schedule 6(b) hereto, the Company has not received any notice that its
Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market (except for prior
notices which have been fully remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet
all requirements for the continuation of such listing




(c)      
     Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates,
nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security
under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to
the Security Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for
purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable
exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of
its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the
offering of the Common Stock to be integrated with other offerings (other than
such concurrent offering to the Purchaser).




(d)    
       The Closing Shares are restricted
securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this
Agreement.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or
other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Closing Shares at such
time as such Closing Shares are registered for public sale or an exemption from
registration is available, except as required by federal or state securities
laws.




7




(e)           The
Company understands the nature of the Closing Shares and recognizes that the
issuance of such Closing Shares may have a potential dilutive
effect.  The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue the Closing Shares is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless
of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
shareholders of the Company.




(f)     
      Except for agreements made in the ordinary
course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the
Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be
filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could
reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of
the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement in any material respect.




(g)    
       The Company shall have authorized and
reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to issue to the Purchaser
the Closing Shares.




7.       
     Miscellaneous.




(a)  
         Remedies.  In the
event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective
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.




(b)      
     No Piggyback on
Registrations.  Except as and to the extent set forth on
Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other
than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the
Company in the Registration Statement other than the Closing Shares, and the
Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any
such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of its
security holders; provided, however, that the Company may include in the
Registration Statement any of the Company’s securities held by Laurus, Valens US
or the Purchaser which are entitled to registration rights pursuant to
agreements with the Company other than this Agreement.  Except as and
to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto,
the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any
registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that
have not been fully satisfied.




(c)        
   Obligations
of Holders.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to it in connection with sales of Closing Shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement.  In connection with the registration of
Closing Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, each Holder
shall:  (i) timely furnish to the Company a completed shareholder
questionnaire in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and such
information in writing regarding itself and the intended method of disposition
of such Closing Shares as the Company shall reasonably request in order to
effect the registration thereof; (ii)  notify the Company when it has
sold all of the Closing Shares held by it; and (iii) notify the Company in the
event that any information supplied by such Holder in writing for inclusion in
such Registration Statement or related Prospectus is untrue or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make such
information not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing.




8




(d)       
    Discontinued
Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such
Closing Shares that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence
of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Closing Shares under the Registration Statement
until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in
either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or
Registration Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop
orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.  For purposes of
this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) 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 (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all
written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the
Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments
or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the
Closing Shares or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Closing Shares for
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for
such purpose; (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in such 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 such
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
such Registration Statement or 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; (vii)
the occurrence or existence of a Blackout Period and/or (vii) the occurrence of
an event described in Section 7(c)(iii) hereof.




(e)        
   Piggy-Back
Registrations.  If at any time during any Effectiveness Period
there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Closing
Shares required to be covered during such Effectiveness Period and the Company
shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or
Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) 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, then the Company
shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any
part of such Closing Shares such Holder requests to be registered, to the extent
the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which
exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter
cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to
obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion
under such registration statement.




9




(f)   
        Amendments and
Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of
the then outstanding Closing Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter
that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not
directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by
Holders of at least a majority of the Closing Shares to which such waiver or
consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence.

respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a

Re:Verso Technologies, Inc. Registration Statement on
      Form [S-3] (No.
333-_________)




Ladies
and Gentlemen:




As
counsel to Verso Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota (the “Company”), we have been
requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the
individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached
hereto (the “Selling Shareholders”), of an aggregate of __________ shares (the
“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock.




A
Registration Statement on Form [S-3] (No. 333-________) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
[date].  Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date].  We
understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in
the Prospectus.




Based
upon the foregoing, upon request by any Selling Shareholder at any time while
the registration statement remains effective, and provided such shareholder
represents to you that (i) such shareholder has sold the Shares registered by
the registration statement for such shareholder’s account in accordance with the
plan of distribution set forth in the Prospectus and (ii) a copy of the
Prospectus and all supplements thereto were delivered to the purchaser of the
Shares in accordance with the Act, then it is our opinion that the Shares have
been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing the
Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be
issued without restrictive legend.  We will advise you if the
registration statement is not available or effective at any point in the
future.




Very
      truly yours,[Company
      counsel]
