2.  REGISTRATION.

 



a.  MANDATORY REGISTRATION. Following the Closing of any Debenture pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to the Initial Registration Filing Deadline (as defined above) file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or, if Form S-1 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 Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld)(the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities 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  exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a three-fourths (3/4) majority in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than  the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, without regard to any limitation on the Buyer's ability to  exercise the Warrants (collectively, the “Target  Registration Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is advised by the staff of the Commission in a written comment letter or otherwise that it is not eligible to conduct the offering of the Warrant Shares under Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act because of the number of shares sought to be included in the Registration Statement, then, subject to any applicable Registration Failure Liquidated Damages (as defined herein), the Company may reduce (an “SEC Share Reduction”) the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule 415 (“Rule 415 Eligible”)(subject to Registration Failure Liquidated Damages, as defined below, if the Company reduces unilaterally the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement to a number less than the Initial Registration Minimum).  In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, the number of Registrable Securities registered shall be cut back pro rata (based upon the relative number of Warrants held by each Holder), provided that (i) the inclusion of the Series A Warrant Shares in such initial Registration Statement shall take precedence over and shall not be cut back until the following securities of the Company are cut back and removed from such Registration Statement (in the following order):  As necessary, (i) Series C Warrants shares shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement first, and (ii) Series B Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement first and (iii) Series A Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement third.  In the event that, due to an SEC Share Reduction or otherwise, any Registration Statement filed hereunder shall (when combined with any previous Registration Statements that are current and effective) register a number of shares of Common Stock which less than the Target Registration Amount (a “Target Registration Shortfall”), then the unregistered portion of the Target Registration Amount (the “Target Registration Shortfall Amount”) shall be included in the next Additional Registration Statement (in accordance with Section 3(b) below).  






The Company shall, as early as practicable on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.  The Company acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in each Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon  exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants and shall be amended if not sufficient.  Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and subject to the approval of) the Buyer and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

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

 


c.  SUPPLIMENTARY REGISTRATION.  By not later than June 1, 2009, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or, if Form S-1 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 Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld)(the “Supplementary Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities 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  exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least a three-fourths (3/4) majority in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Supplementary Registration Statement shall be no less than the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, without regard to any limitation on the Buyer's ability to exercise the Warrants, less the number of such shares that are either already registered for resale or are eligible for immediate sale under Rule 144, without volume limitations (collectively, the “Target Supplementary Registration Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is advised by the staff of the Commission in a written comment letter or otherwise that it is not eligible to conduct the offering of the Warrant Shares under Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act because of the number of shares sought to be included in the Registration Statement, then, subject to any applicable Registration Failure Liquidated Damages (as defined herein), the Company may reduce (an “SEC Share Reduction”) the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule 415 (“Rule 415 Eligible”)(subject to Registration Failure Liquidated Damages, as defined below, if the Company reduces unilaterally the number of shares covered by such Registration Statement to a number less than the Initial Registration Minimum).  In the event of an SEC Share Reduction, the number of Registrable Securities registered in the Supplementary Registration shall be cut back pro rata (based upon the relative number of Warrants held by each Holder), provided that (i) the inclusion of the Series A Warrant Shares in such initial Registration Statement shall take precedence over and shall not be cut back until the following securities of the Company are cut back and removed from such Registration Statement (in the following order):  As necessary, (i) Series C Warrants shares shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement first, and (ii) Series B Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement first and (iii) Series A Warrants shall be cut back and removed from the Registration Statement third.  In the event that, due to an SEC Share Reduction or otherwise, any Registration Statement filed hereunder shall (when combined with any previous Registration Statements that are current and effective) register a number of shares of Common Stock which less than the Target Supplementary Registration Amount (a “Target Registration Shortfall”), then the unregistered portion of the Target Supplementary Registration Amount (the “Target Supplementary Registration Shortfall Amount”) shall be included in the next Additional Registration Statement (in accordance with Section 3(b) below).

The Company shall, as early as practicable on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.  The Company acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in each Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon  exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants and shall be amended if not sufficient.  Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and subject to the approval of) the Buyer and its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.  






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 by contract 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 contractual 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(b) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof.  If an offering in connection with which the Buyer is entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering, then the Buyer 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 Buyer pursuant to this Section 2(b) 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 and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect once the Company satisfies its obligations under this Agreement.

In the event of a Target Registration Shortfall (the date of each of which is referred to as a “Registration Trigger Date”), or in the event that on any Trading Day (as defined in the Debenture) (each such Trading Day is also referred to as a  "Registration Trigger Date") the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is otherwise insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon  exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants (based on the Exercise  Price [as defined in the Warrants] then in effect), and otherwise issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in each case without giving effect to any limitations on the Buyer' ability to  exercise the Warrants or otherwise receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable), or both (each, an “Additional Registration Statement”), so as to cover at least 100% of the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (based on the  Exercise Prices of the Warrants and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely, and without giving effect to any  limitations on exercise contained in the Warrants or limitations on conversion or exercise or other payment of shares contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement) as of the Registration Trigger Date (subject to an SEC Share Reduction, if applicable).  The Company shall prepare and file each Additional Registration Statement as soon as practicable following any Registration Trigger Date, but not later than the date that is sixty (60) days following the applicable Registration Trigger Date (the “Additional Registration Filing Deadline”) provided that, if Cutback Shares are required to be included in the Additional Registration Statement, the “Additional Registration Filing Deadline” shall mean the later of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date substantially all (as such term is then interpreted by the Commission) of the Registrable Securities registered under the immediately preceding Registration Statement are sold and (ii) the date that is six (6) months following the date of effectiveness of the most recently effective Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement filed hereunder.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until the NASD issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.  






q.  NO PIGGYBACK ON REGISTRATIONS.  Except for legally required amendments or supplements to the existing registration statement specified in Schedule 3(dd) to the Securities Purchase Agreement, 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 a Registration Statement (including but not limited to any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof) other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not during the Effectiveness Period enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.  In addition, the Company shall not offer any securities for its own account or the account of others 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 three-fourths (3/4) majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities.  






4.  REGISTRATION FAILURE.   If:
 






(i) in the aggregate among all Holders on a pro-rata basis based on their purchase of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Initial Registration Minimum is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline of the Initial Registration, or
 






12



 


(ii) the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(g) herein, or
 






(iii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or
 






(iv) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 10 Trading Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or
 






(v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period, or






(vi) any Additional Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder is not filed by the applicable Additional Registration Filing Deadline or it is not declared effective by the applicable Additional Registration Effectiveness Deadline  (any such failure or breach being referred to as a “Registration Failure”, and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii), the date on which such Registration Failure occurs, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date which such 10 calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such 10 or 15 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as a “Registration Failure Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Registration Failure Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Registration Failure Date (if the applicable Registration Failure shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Registration Failure is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount (“Registration Failure Liquidated Damages”) in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.  The parties agree that  the Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares, provided that such Warrants are exerciseable in a cashless exercise and the underlying Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following a cashless exercise..  






(vii) Notwithstanding (i) – (vi) above, the Company shall not be liable for Registration Failure Liquidated Damages if (1) the Company makes all filings as and when required by this Agreement, (2) the Company responds to any comments from the SEC regarding a Registration Statement within ten (10) days of the date of receipt of such comments, and (3) uses its best efforts to have the subject Registration Statement declared effective for the number of shares required hereunder as quickly as reasonably possible.  Registration Failure Liquidated Damages shall be due and payable by the fifth (5th) day of the calendar month in which they accrue.  If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within five (5) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a Registration Failure.

5.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER.  In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Buyer 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 the Buyer that the Buyer 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 the Buyer of the information the Company requires from each Buyer.






b.  The Buyer, by the Buyer'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 the Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer's election to exclude all of the Buyer's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statements.






c.  In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities are to be included, the Buyer agrees to enter into and perform the Buyer'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 the Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer's election to exclude all of the Buyer's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.






d.  The Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), the Buyer will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Buyer's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the Company, the Buyer 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 the Buyer's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.






14



 


e.  No Buyer may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Buyer (i) agrees to sell the Buyer'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.






f.


Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) by the end of the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.   






6.  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 shall be borne by the Company.






7.  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) the Buyer, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and each person who controls any Buyer 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 Buyer in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, 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 Commission) 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"). 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 7(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; (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 Buyer pursuant to Section 10.  






15



 


b.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.
 






PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Buyer and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, if the Buyer is entitled to indemnification hereunder.  The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7 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.






c. To the extent permitted by law, but in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Buyer’s Subscription Amount (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) the Buyer will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a  "Company 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 a Claim arising out of or based upon 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, which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about the Buyer, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by the Buyer for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement.






16



 


8.  CONTRIBUTION.  To the extent any indemnification by the Company is prohibited or limited by law, the Company agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law, based upon a comparative fault standard.
 






9.  REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.  With a view to making available to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Buyer to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:






a.  make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;






b.  file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and






c.  furnish to the Buyer so long as the Buyer owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon written request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.






10.  ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Buyers to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities if: (i) the Buyer agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in  accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  In the event that the Buyer transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have at least ten (10) days to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Event of Default under the Debenture or the Warrants caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days.






17



 


11.  AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company, and Buyers who hold a three-fourths (3/4) majority interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the Buyer and the Company.






12.  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 by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile, in each case addressed to a party.  The addresses for such communications shall be:






        If to the Company: To the address set forth immediately below such

18



 


c.  Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.






d.  Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.






e.  This Agreement 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.






f.  Subject to the requirements of Section 10 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.






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






h.  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. 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.






19



 


i.  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.






j.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all consents and other determinations to be made by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by Buyers holding a three-fourths (3/4) majority of the Registrable Securities, determined as if the all of the  Warrants then outstanding have been converted or exercised into for Registrable Securities.






k.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder could cause irreparable harm to the Buyer 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 hereunder could be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of the provisions hereunder, that the Buyer could be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.






l.  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.






m.  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.






n.  The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and each increase to the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Buyers based on the number of Registrable Securities held by the Buyer at the time of such establishment or increase, as the case may be. In the event a Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement for such transferor.  Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Registrable Securities shall be allocated to the remaining Buyers, pro rata based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by the Buyers.  For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Registrable Securities held by a Buyer shall be determined as if all the  Warrants then outstanding and held by a Buyer were converted into or exercised for Registrable Securities, without regard to any limitation on the Buyer's ability to  exercise the Warrants.






20



 


o.  There shall be no oral modifications or amendments to this Agreement.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing.   






[INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Annex A






Plan of Distribution






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

 


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

 


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

 


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

 


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

 


·  privately negotiated transactions;

 


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

 


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

 


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

 


·  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 


·  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.






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






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






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

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).






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






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






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






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