    REGISTRATION
      RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 13,
      2007, by and among Avitar Inc., a Delaware corporation with its headquarters
      located at 65 Dan Road, Canton, MA 02021 (the “Company”), and
      each of the undersigned (together with their respective affiliates and any
      assignee or transferee of all of their respective rights hereunder, the
“Initial Investors”).

     

    WHEREAS:

     

    A.  In
      connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the parties
      hereto of even date herewith (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Company
      has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein,
      to
      issue and sell to the Initial Investors (i) secured convertible notes in
      the aggregate principal amount of up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
      ($250,000) (the “Notes”) that are convertible into shares of the Company’s
      common stock (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations
      and conditions set forth in such Notes and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”)
      to acquire an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, upon the terms
      and
      conditions and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the
      Warrants; and

     

    B.  To
      induce
      the Initial Investors to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement,
      the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder,
      or
      any similar successor statute (collectively, the “1933 Act”),
      and applicable state securities laws;

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
      contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
      sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each of the
      Initial Investors hereby agree as follows:

     

    1.  DEFINITIONS.

     

    a.  As
      used
      in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
      meanings:

     

    (i)  “Investors”
      means the Initial Investors and any transferee or assignee who agrees to become
      bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9
      hereof.

     

    (ii)  “register,”
      “registered,” and “registration” refer to a
      registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
      Statements in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the
      1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous
      basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of
      effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities
      and
      Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

     

    (iii)  “Registrable
      Securities” means the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon
      conversion or otherwise pursuant to the Notes including, without limitation,
      Damages Shares (as defined in the Notes) issued or issuable pursuant to the
      Notes, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in payment of the Standard
      Liquidated Damages Amount (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
      shares issued or issuable in respect of interest or in redemption of the Notes
      in accordance with the terms thereof) and Warrant Shares issuable, upon exercise
      or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, and any shares of capital stock issued
      or
      issuable as a dividend on or in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any
      of
      the foregoing.

     

    (iv)  “Registration
      Statement” means a registration statement of the Company under the 1933
      Act.

     

    b.  Capitalized
      terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective
      meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Convertible
      Note.

     

    2.  REGISTRATION.

     

    a.  Mandatory
      Registration.  The Company shall prepare, and, on or
      prior to thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of written demand of the
      Investors (the “Filing Date”), file with the SEC a Registration
      Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form
      of
      Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the
      Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Initial Investors, which
      consent will not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of the
      Registrable Securities underlying the Notes and Warrants issued or issuable
      pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which Registration Statement,
      to
      the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations
      promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration
      Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common
      Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the
      Notes and exercise of the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock
      splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.  The number of shares
      of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be
      no
      less than an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of the number of Conversion
      Shares that are then issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Additional Notes
      (based on the Variable Conversion Price as would then be in effect and assuming
      the Variable Conversion Price is the Conversion Price at such time), and the
      number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants,
      without regard to any limitation on the Investor’s ability to convert the Notes
      or exercise the Warrants.  The Company acknowledges that the number of
      shares initially included in the Registration Statement represents a good faith
      estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes
      and upon exercise of the Warrants.

     

    b.  Underwritten
      Offering.  If any offering pursuant to a Registration
      Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten offering,
      the
      Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities subject
      to such underwritten offering, with the consent of a majority-in-interest of
      the
      Initial Investors, shall have the right to select one legal counsel and an
      investment banker or bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering,
      which investment banker or bankers or manager or managers shall be reasonably
      satisfactory to the Company.

     

    c.  Payments
      by the Company.  The Company shall use its best efforts
      to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as
      practicable.  If (i) the Registration Statement(s) covering the
      Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section
      2(a) hereof is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC
      on
      or prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of
      written demand of the Investors pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, or
      (ii) after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
      SEC, sales of all of the Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant to
      the
      Registration Statement, or (iii) the Common Stock is not listed or included
      for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the
      Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New York Stock
      Exchange (the “NYSE”) or the American Stock Exchange (the
“AMEX”) after being so listed or included for
      quotation after
      the date hereof, or (iv) the Common Stock ceases to be traded on the
      Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) or any equivalent
      replacement exchange prior to being listed or included for quotation on one
      of
      the aforementioned markets, then the Company will make payments to the Investors
      in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this
      Section 2(c) as partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason of
      any
      such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell the Registrable Securities
      (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law
      or
      in equity).  The Company shall pay to each holder of the Notes or
      Registrable Securities an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount
      of the Notes (and, in the case of holders of Registrable Securities, the
      principal amount of Notes from which such Registrable Securities were converted)
      (“Outstanding Principal Amount”), multiplied by the Applicable
      Percentage (as defined below) times the sum of:  (i) the number of
      months (prorated for partial months) after the Filing Date or the end of the
      aforementioned one hundred and twenty (120) day period and prior to the date
      the
      Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however,
      that
      there shall be excluded from such period any delays which are solely
      attributable to changes required by the Investors in the Registration Statement
      with respect to information relating to the Investors, including, without
      limitation, changes to the plan of distribution, or to the failure of the
      Investors to conduct their review of the Registration Statement pursuant to
      Section 3(h) below in a reasonably prompt manner; (ii) the number of months
      (prorated for partial months) that sales of all of the Registrable Securities
      cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the Registration
      Statement has been declared effective (including, without limitation, when
      sales
      cannot be made by reason of the Company’s failure to properly supplement or
      amend the prospectus included therein in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement, but excluding any days during an Allowed Delay (as defined in Section
      3(f)); and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial months) that the
      Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the OTCBB, Nasdaq,
      Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX or that trading thereon is halted after the
      Registration Statement has been declared effective.  The term
“Applicable Percentage” means two hundredths
      (.02).  (For example, if the Registration Statement becomes effective
      one (1) month after the end of such one hundred and twenty (120) day period,
      the
      Company would pay $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding Principal
      Amount.  If thereafter, sales could not be made pursuant to the
      Registration Statement for an additional period of one (1) month, the Company
      would pay an additional $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding Principal
      Amount.)  Such amounts shall be paid in cash or, at the Company’s
      option, in shares of Common Stock priced at the Conversion Price (as defined
      in
      the Notes) on such payment date.

     

    d.  Piggy-Back
      Registrations.  Subject to the last sentence of this
      Section 2(d), if at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period
      (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file with the SEC a
      Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
      account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other
      than
      on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities
      to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
      or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other
bonafide, employee benefit plans), the Company shall send to each
      Investor who is entitled to registration rights under this Section 2(d) written
      notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the
      effective date of such notice, such Investor shall so request in writing, the
      Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the
      Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered, except that
      if,
      in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the
      Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the
      number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration
      Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors
      dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then
      the
      Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such
      limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such
      Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit.
      Any
      exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors
      seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of
      Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Investors; provided,
however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities
      unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders
      of
      which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration
      Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable
      Securities; and provided, further, however, that, after
      giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable
      Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the
      right to include such securities in the Registration Statement other than
      holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such
      Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights.  No
      right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(d) shall
      be
      construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a)
      hereof.  If an offering in connection with which an Investor is
      entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering,
      then each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such
      Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer
      and
      sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same
      underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
      on
      the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
      underwritten offering.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
      forth herein, the registration rights of the Investors pursuant to this Section
      2(d) shall only be available in the event the Company fails to timely file,
      obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement
      to
      be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement.

     

    e.  Eligibility
      for Form S-3, SB-2 or S-1; Conversion to Form S-3.  The
      Company represents and warrants that it meets the requirements for the use
      of
      Form S-3, SB-2 or S-1 for registration of the sale by the Initial Investors
      and
      any other Investors of the Registrable Securities.   The Company
      agrees to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC
      in a
      timely manner so as to remain eligible or become eligible, as the case may
      be,
      and thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form
      S-3.  If the Company is not currently eligible to use Form S-3, not
      later than five (5) business days after the Company first meets the registration
      eligibility and transaction requirements for the use of Form S-3 (or any
      successor form) for registration of the offer and sale by the Initial Investors
      and any other Investors of Registrable Securities, the Company shall file a
      Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or such successor form) with respect to
      the
      Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or
      Form S-1, whichever is applicable, filed pursuant to Section 2(a) (and include
      in such Registration Statement on Form S-3 the information required by Rule
      429
      under the 1933 Act) or convert the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or Form
      S-1, whichever is applicable, filed pursuant to Section 2(a) to a Form S-3
      pursuant to Rule 429 under the 1933 Act and cause such Registration Statement
      (or such amendment) to be declared effective no later than thirty (30) days
      after filing.  In the event of a breach by the Company of the
      provisions of this Section 2(e), the Company will be required to make payments
      pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof.

     

    3.  OBLIGATIONS
      OF THE COMPANY.

     

    In
      connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company
      shall have the following obligations:

     

    a.  The
      Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC not later than the Filing
      Date, a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable
      Securities provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter use its best efforts to
      cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become
      effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no event later than
      one
      hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of written demand of
      the
      Investors pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, and keep the Registration Statement
      effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier
      of
      (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have been sold and
      (ii)
      the date on which the Registrable Securities (in the opinion of counsel to
      the
      Initial Investors) may be immediately sold to the public without registration
      or
      restriction (including, without limitation, as to volume by each holder thereof)
      under the 1933 Act (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 not misleading.

     

    b.  The
      Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
      post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statements and
      the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statements as may be
      necessary to keep the Registration Statements effective at all times 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 the Registration Statements until such time as all of such
      Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
      methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the
      Registration Statements.  In the event the number of shares available
      under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient
      to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion
      of
      the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall amend the 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
      fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises (based on the market
      price
      of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably
      elects to rely).  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
      amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
      practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event within thirty (30)
      days after the date on which the Company reasonably first determines (or
      reasonably should have determined) the need therefor.  The provisions
      of Section 2(c) above shall be applicable with respect to such obligation,
      with
      the one hundred and twenty (120) days running from the day the Company
      reasonably first determines (or reasonably should have determined) the need
      therefor.

     

    c.  The
      Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included
      in a Registration Statement and its legal counsel (i) promptly (but in no
      event more than two (2) business days) after the same is prepared and publicly
      distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of each
      Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus
      and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of
      the
      Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by
      or on
      behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of
      correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating
      to
      such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which
      contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment),
      and (ii) promptly (but in no event more than two (2) business days) after
      the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, such number of
      copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments
      and supplements thereto and such other documents as such Investor may reasonably
      request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
      owned by such Investor.  The Company will immediately notify each
      Investor by facsimile of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or
      any
      post-effective amendment.  The Company will promptly respond to any
      and all comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made
      available to the Investors upon request), with a view towards causing each
      Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by
      the
      SEC as soon as practicable, shall promptly file an acceleration request as
      soon
      as practicable (but in no event more than two (2) business days) following
      the
      resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following
      notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment
      thereto will not be subject to review and shall, if required by SEC Rules,
      promptly file with the SEC a final prospectus as soon as practicable (but in
      no
      event more than two (2) business days) following receipt by the Company from
      the
      SEC of an order declaring the Registration Statement effective.  In
      the event of a breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3(c),
      the
      Company will be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2(c)
      hereof.

     

    d.  The
      Company shall use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
      Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other
      securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
      Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being
      offered reasonably request, (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 (a) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
      otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (b) subject
      itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (c) file a general
      consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (d) provide any
      undertakings that cause the Company undue expense or burden, or (e) make
      any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors
      of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company
      and its shareholders.

     

    e.  In
      the
      event Investors who hold a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
      being offered in the offering (with the approval of a majority-in-interest
      of
      the Initial Investors) select underwriters for the offering, the Company shall
      enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in
      usual
      and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification
      and
      contribution obligations, with the underwriters of such offering.

     

    f.  As
      promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall
      notify each Investor of the happening of any event, of which the Company has
      knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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 not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly
      to
      prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct
      such
      untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such
      supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
      request; provided that, for not more than ten (10) consecutive trading days
      (or
      a total of not more than twenty (20) trading days in any twelve (12) month
      period), the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information
      concerning the Company (as well as prospectus or Registration Statement
      updating) the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion
      of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed
      Delay”); provided, further, that the Company shall promptly
      (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event,
      without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose
      to
      such investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public
      information giving rise to an Allowed Delay and (ii) advise the Investors
      in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end
      of
      the Allowed Delay. Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the Company shall
      again
      be bound by the first sentence of this Section 3(f) with respect to the
      information giving rise thereto.

     

    g.  The
      Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
      or
      other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such
      an
      order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible
      moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold
      (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of
      the
      issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.

     

    h.  The
      Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Initial
      Investors to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and
      supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness
      thereof) a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and
      not
      file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and will
      not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice
      to
      such counsel.  The sections of such Registration Statement covering
      information with respect to the Investors, the Investor’s beneficial ownership
      of securities of the Company or the Investors intended method of disposition
      of
      Registrable Securities shall conform to the information provided to the Company
      by each of the Investors.

     

    i.  The
      Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as
      practicable, but not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the
      close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
      with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month
      period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter
      next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

     

    j.  At
      the
      request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish, on the date that Registrable
      Securities are delivered to an underwriter, if any, for sale in connection
      with
      any Registration Statement or, if such securities are not being sold by an
      underwriter, on the date of effectiveness thereof (i) an opinion, dated as
      of such date, from counsel representing the Company for purposes of such
      Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given
      in
      an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and
      the
      Investors and (ii) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s
      independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily
      given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an
      underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and the
      Investors.

     

    k.  The
      Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor,
      (ii) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a
      Registration Statement, (iii) one firm of attorneys and one firm of
      accountants or other agents retained by the Initial Investors, (iv) one
      firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by all
      other Investors, and (v) one firm of attorneys retained by all such
      underwriters (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent
      financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties
      of
      the Company, including without limitation, records of conversions by other
      holders of convertible securities issued by the Company and the issuance of
      stock to such holders pursuant to the conversions (collectively, the
“Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
      Inspector to enable each Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility,
      and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
      information which any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such
      due
      diligence; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in
      confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) 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, (b) the release of
      such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other 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.  The Company shall not be
      required to disclose any confidential information in such Records to any
      Inspector until and unless such Inspector shall have entered into
      confidentiality agreements (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company)
      with the Company with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section
      3(k).  Each Investor 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.  Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality
      agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the
      Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise
      consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

     

    l.  The
      Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
      concerning an Investor 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 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 or any other agreement.  The Company
      agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information
      concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of
      competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such
      Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its
      expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
      a protective order for, such information.

     

    m.  The
      Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the
      Registration Statement to be listed on each national securities exchange 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 (ii) to the extent the securities of
      the same class or series are not then listed on a national securities exchange,
      secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable Securities covered
      by the Registration Statement on Nasdaq or, if not eligible for Nasdaq, on
      Nasdaq SmallCap or, if not eligible for Nasdaq or Nasdaq SmallCap, on the OTCBB
      and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least
      two market makers to register with the National Association of Securities
      Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) as such with respect to such Registrable
      Securities.

     

    n.  The
      Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single
      entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of
      the
      Registration Statement.

     

    o.  The
      Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities
      being
      offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate
      the
      timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
      legends) representing 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 managing underwriter or underwriters,
      if
      any, or the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as
      the
      managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may request,
      and,
      within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes
      Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall
      deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver,
      to
      the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors
      whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) an
      instruction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and an
      opinion of such counsel in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.

     

    p.  At
      the
      request of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities,
      the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
      post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and
      any
      prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be
      necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such
      Registration Statement.

     

    q.  From
      and
      after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not agree
      to,
      allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their
      securities, in excess of 250,000 shares of Common Stock, in any Registration
      Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto
      under
      Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest
      of the Registrable Securities.

     

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

     

    4.  OBLIGATIONS
      OF THE INVESTORS.

     

    In
      connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors
      shall have the following obligations:

     

    a.  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 a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish 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 be reasonably 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.  At least three (3) business
      days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement,
      the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires
      from each such Investor.

     

    b.  Each
      Investor, by such Investor’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 the Registration Statements hereunder, unless
      such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to
      exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration
      Statements.

     

    c.  In
      the
      event Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
      being registered (with the approval of the Initial Investors) determine to
      engage the services of an underwriter, each Investor agrees to enter into and
      perform such Investor’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
      and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification
      and
      contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and
      take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or
      facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless such Investor
      has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all
      of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
      Statement.

     

    d.  Each
      Investor 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 3(g), such
      Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
      pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
      until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
      prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g) and, if so directed by the
      Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
      Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction)
      all copies in such Investor’s possession, of the prospectus covering such
      Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
      notice.

     

    e.  No
      Investor may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless
      such
      Investor (i) agrees to sell such Investor’s Registrable Securities on the
      basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form
      entered into by the Company, (ii) completes and executes all
      questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
      other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
      arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all
      underwriting discounts and commissions and any expenses in excess of those
      payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 below.

     

    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
      qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements
      of
      counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
      counsel selected by the Initial Investors pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 3(h)
      hereof shall be borne by the Company and shall be included in the fees paid
      to
      counsel under the Securities Purchase Agreement for purposes of counsel selected
      by the Initial Investors.

     

    6.  INDEMNIFICATION.

     

    In
      the
      event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under
      this Agreement:

     

    a.  To
      the
      extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend
      (i) each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, (ii) the
      directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and each person who controls
      any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange
      Act
      of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), if any, (iii) any
      underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for the Investors, and (iv) the
      directors, officers, partners, employees and each person who controls any such
      underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, if any (each,
      an
“Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses,
      claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions,
      proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization,
      whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”)
      to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of
      or
      are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
      material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission
      to
      state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the
      statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
      statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used
      prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or 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 (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 Indemnified 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 or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for
      use
      in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such
      amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made
      available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) 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; and (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus,
      shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement
      or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was
      corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented,
      such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
      to
      Section 3(c) hereof, and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing
      not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a Violation
      and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used
      it.  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 transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant
      to
      Section 9.

     

    b.  In
      connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
      participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify,
      hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner 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, any underwriter and any other
      shareholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any
      of
      its directors or officers or any person who controls such shareholder or
      underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively
      and
      together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”),
      against any Claim to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act,
      the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based
      upon
      any Violation by such Investor, 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 such Investor expressly for
      use
      in connection with such Registration Statement; and subject to Section 6(c)
      such
      Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses
      are incurred and are due and payable) 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) shall not apply
      to
      amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
      the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
      Investor shall be liable under this Agreement (including this Section 6(b)
      and
      Section 7) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such
      Investor 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 transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
      Investors pursuant to Section 9. 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 was 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 (including any governmental action),
      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 legal counsel shall be selected by Investors holding a
      majority-in-interest of the  Registrable Securities included in the
      Registration Statement to which the Claim relates (with the approval of a
      majority-in-interest of the Initial Investors), if the Investors are entitled
      to
      indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to
      indemnification hereunder, as applicable.  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 actually prejudiced in
      its
      ability to defend such action.  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 such expense, loss, damage or
      liability is incurred and is due and payable.

     

    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 such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii)contribution (together
      with any indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) 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.  REPORTS
      UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

     

    With
      a
      view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
      under the 1933 Act or any other 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

      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 written consent of the Company, each of the Initial
      Investors (to the extent such Initial Investor still owns Registrable
      Securities) and Investors who hold a majority interest of the Registrable
      Securities.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
      Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.

     

    11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     

    a.  A
      person
      or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such
      person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities.  If the
      Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
      more
      persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company
      shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
      the
      registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

     

    b.  Any
      notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent

    c.  Failure
      of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,

    d.   THIS
      AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENFORCED, GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
      LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED

      LAWS.  THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
      OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED NEW YORK, NEW YORK WITH RESPECT
      TO
      ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO IN
      CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. BOTH
      PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE
      MAINTENANCE OF SUCH SUIT OR PROCEEDING.  BOTH PARTIES FURTHER AGREE
      THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON A PARTY MAILED BY FIRST CLASS MAIL SHALL BE DEEMED

      OR

      CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON SUCH JUDGMENT
      OR IN ANY OTHER LAWFUL MANNER.  THE PARTY WHICH DOES NOT PREVAIL IN
      ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES
      AND
      EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY THE PREVAILING PARTY IN
      CONNECTION WITH SUCH DISPUTE.

     

    e.  In
      the
      event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
      any
      applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
      inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
      modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any provision
      hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect
      the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

     

    f.  This
      Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants and the Securities Purchase Agreement
      (including all schedules and exhibits thereto) constitute the entire agreement
      among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
      thereof.  There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
      undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and
      therein.  This Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement
      supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto
      with
      respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

     

    g.  Subject
      to the requirements of Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon
      and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
      assigns.

     

    h.  The
      headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
      not
      form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

     

    i.  This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement
      and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party
      and
      delivered to the other party.  This Agreement, once executed by a
      party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission
      of a
      copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this
      Agreement.

     

    j.  Each
      party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further
      acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
      certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably
      request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this
      Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

     

    k.  Except
      as
      otherwise provided herein, all consents and other determinations to be made
      by
      the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by Investors holding
      a
      majority of the Registrable Securities, determined as if the all of the Notes
      then outstanding have been converted into for Registrable
      Securities.

     

    l.  The
      Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
      cause
      irreparable harm to each Investor by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
      transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company
      acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of its obligations under this
      Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
      breach by the Company of any of the provisions under this Agreement, that each
      Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in
      law
      or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein,  to
      an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of
      this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof,
      without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
      security being required.

     

    m.  The
      language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by
      the
      parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
      will
      be applied against any party.
