    2.  Registration.

     

    (a)  On
      or
      prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the
      Commission a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for
      a
      selling stockholder resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
      to
      Rule 415.  Each Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if
      the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable
      Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another
      appropriate form in accordance herewith).  The Company shall cause
      each Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided
      herein.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause each
      Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
      promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than
      the Effectiveness Date.  The Company shall use its best efforts to
      keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
      Act
      until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities
      covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) all Registrable
      Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold immediately
      without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions
      pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant
      to
      a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the
      Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (each, an “Effectiveness
      Period”).

     

    (b)  If:
      (i)
      the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii)
      the
      Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the
      Effectiveness Date; (iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and
      declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to
      be
      effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to
      which
      it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the
      Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional
      registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which
      shall exceed 90 days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365
      days
      commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) or
      more
      than 30 consecutive calendar days; or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or
      quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of
      three
      (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able
      to
      cure such trading suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the
      Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being
      referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the
      date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which
      such 90 day or 30 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded,
      or
      for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day period
      is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then until the
      applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in
      cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% for each thirty
      (30) day period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original
      principal amount of the Secured Term Note issued to the Investor,
provided, however, solely with respect to the Events set forth in
      clauses (i) through (iii) hereof, following the expiration of the Effectiveness
      Period, liquidated damages shall no longer be payable under this
      subsection.  While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall
      be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days.  Any unpaid
      liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company
      shall be paid within three (3) days following the date on which such Event
      has
      been cured by the Company.

     

    (c)  Within
      five (5) business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its
      counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
      to
      the transfer agent stating that the shares are subject to an effective
      registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon
      notice of a sale by the Investor and confirmation by the Investor that it has
      complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the
      Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion
      has been withdrawn.  Copies of the blanket opinion required by this
      Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Investor within the time frame set forth
      above.

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

     

    (a)  prepare
      and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such
      Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received
      from the Commission, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration
      Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with
      respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Investor copies of all filings
      and
      Commission letters of comment relating thereto and before filing a Registration
      Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to
      the
      Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, including documents
      incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and, if requested by the
      Investor, the exhibits incorporated by reference, and the Investor shall
      have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to itself that
      is contained therein and the Company will make the corrections reasonably
      requested by the Investor with respect to such information prior to filing
      any Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any
      supplement thereto;

     

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

     

    (c)  furnish
      to the Investor such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the
      Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus and any
      amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus)
      and
      such other documents as the Investor reasonably may request to facilitate the
      public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such
      Registration Statement;

     

    (d)  use
      its
      best efforts to register or qualify the Investor’s Registrable Securities
      covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws
      of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Investor may reasonably
      request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably
      necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition
      in
      such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required
      to
      qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any
      jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service
      of
      process in any such jurisdiction;

     

    (e)  list
      the
      Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any
      securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed
      and,
      if the Common Stock is not then listed, list the Registrable Securities on
      Nasdaq or a national securities exchange selected by the Company;

    (f)  immediately
      notify the Investor at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required
      to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as
      a
      result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as
      then
      in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
      a
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
      therein not misleading, and, at the request of the Investor, the Company shall
      prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter
      delivered to the purchasers of Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall
      not
      contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
      fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein
      not misleading;

     

    (g)  make
      available for inspection by the Investor and any attorney, accountant or other

      Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
      publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the

      requested, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the effectiveness of

      accountants addressed to the Investor (unless the Investor does not provide
      to
      such accountants the appropriate representation letter required by rules
      governing the accounting profession) stating that such accountants are
      independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and
      the
      applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise
      in
      customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are
      customarily covered by letters of the independent certified public accountants
      delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings,
      as the case may be; and

     

    (j)  at
      all
      times after the Company has filed a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant
      to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the
      Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities
      Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
      thereunder, and take such further action as the Investor may reasonably request,
      all to the extent required to enable the Investor to be eligible to sell
      Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule then in
      effect).

      pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
      Holder, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls

      claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder, or
      such
      persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
      such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
      of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such
      Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to
      this
      Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein,

      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
      any
      violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
      Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws, and will reimburse such Holder, and
      each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them
      in
      connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
      liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not
      be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim,
      damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
      alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
      with information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor or any such person
      in
      writing specifically for use in any such document.

     

    (b)  In
      the
      event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities
      Act
      pursuant to this Agreement, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the
      Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls
      the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses,
      claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
      persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
      such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
      arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
      of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Investor to the
      Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the
      Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered
      under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus
      or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,

      therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
      the
      statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each
      such
      person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection
      with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
      action, provided, however, that the Investor will be liable in any
      such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
      liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
      statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
      furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically
      for use in any such document.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
      paragraph, the Investor shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity
      in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Investor
      in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration
      under the Securities Act.

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

     

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

     

    (e)  The
      indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force
      and
      effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified
      party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party
      and shall survive the transfer of securities.

    6.  Representations
      and Warranties.

     

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

     

    (b)  The
      Common Stock is listed or quoted, as applicable, for trading on the NASDAQ
      Over
      The Counter Bulletin Board and satisfies all requirements for the continuation
      of such listing or quotation, as applicable, and the Company shall do all things
      necessary for the continuation of such listing or quotation, as
      applicable.  The Company has not received any notice that its Common
      Stock will be delisted from or no longer be quoted on, as applicable, the NASDAQ
      Over The Counter Bulletin Board (except for prior notices which have been fully
      remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the
      continuation of such listing or quotation, as applicable.

     

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

     

    (d)  The
      Warrants and the shares of Common Stock that the Investor may acquire pursuant
      to the Warrants are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of
      the
      date of this Agreement.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer
      order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable
      Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for public
      sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by
      federal or state securities laws.

    (e)  The
      Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon
      the
      conversion of the Secured Term Notes and exercise of each Warrant and recognizes
      that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive
      effect.  The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
      issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable
      regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests
      of
      other shareholders of the Company.

     

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

     

    (g)  The
      Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number
      of
      shares of Common Stock for the full conversion of the Secured Term Notes and
      exercise of the Warrants.

     

    (h)  The
      Company shall provide written notice to each Holder of (i) the occurrence of
      each Discontinuation Event (as defined below) and (ii) the declaration of
      effectiveness by the SEC of each Registration Statement required to be filed
      hereunder, in each case within one (1) business day of the date of each such
      occurrence and/or declaration.

     

    7.  Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  Remedies.  In
      the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective
      obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may
      be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and
      under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
      specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

     

    (b)  No
      Piggyback on Registrations.  Except as and to the extent set
      forth on Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security
      holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include
      securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the
      Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter
      into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the
      Registration Statement to any of its security holders.  Except as and
      to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not
      previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
      respect to any of its securities to any person or entity that have not been
      fully satisfied.

     

    (c)  Compliance.  Each
      Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
      requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales
      of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

    (d)  Discontinued
      Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such
      Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
      occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will
      forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the
      applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of
      the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until
      it is
      advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the
      applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies
      of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to
      be
      incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration
      Statement.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce
      the provisions of this paragraph.  For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company
      whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the
      Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company
      shall
      provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto
      to
      each Holder); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state
      governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration
      Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by
      the
      Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration
      Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation
      of
      any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any
      notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
      from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
      jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
      purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
      the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible
      for
      inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or
      Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
      by
      reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to
      such
      Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
      of
      such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
      contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
      fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
      in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading.

     

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

     

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

      the
      respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a
      notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(g).  Any

      delivery, deemed to have been given when delivered to any party to whom it
      is

    (h)  Successors
      and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
      and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties
      and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder.  The Company may not
      assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
      of
      each Holder.  Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder
      in the manner and to the persons and entities as permitted under the Security
      Agreement.

     

    (i)  Execution
      and Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
      number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
      an
      original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
      agreement.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
      or electronic transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding
      obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
      executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or
      electronic signature were the original thereof.

     

    (j)  Governing
      Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.  THIS AGREEMENT
      SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
      OF
      THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE,
      WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.  The Company hereby
      consents and agrees that the state or federal courts located in the County
      of
      New York, State of New York shall have exclusion jurisdiction to hear and
      determine any Proceeding between the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor,
      on the other hand, pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out
      of
      or related to this Agreement; provided, that the Investor and the Company
      acknowledge that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court
      located outside of the County of New York, State of New York, and
furtherprovided, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or
      operate to preclude the Investor from bringing a Proceeding in any other
      jurisdiction to collect the obligations, to realize on the Collateral or any
      other security for the obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court
      order in favor of the Investor.  The Company expressly submits and
      consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any Proceeding commenced in any
      such
      court, and the Company hereby waives any objection which it may have based
      upon
      lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non
      conveniens.  The Company hereby waives personal service of the
      summons, complaint and other process issued in any such Proceeding and agrees
      that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by
      registered or certified mail addressed to the Company at the address set forth
      in Section 7(g) and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the
      Company’s actual receipt thereof.  The parties hereto desire that
      their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable
      laws.  Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of
      the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights

    Re:           NewMarket
      Technology, Inc. Registration Statement on Form [S-3]

     

    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

     

    As
      counsel to NewMarket Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
“Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in
      connection with the resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule
      A attached hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of
      __________ shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common
      Stock.

     

    A
      Registration Statement on Form [S-3] under the Securities Act of 1933, as
      amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was
      declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
      [date].  Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date].  We
      understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described
      in
      the Prospectus.

     

    Based
      upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while
      the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion that the Shares
      have been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing
      the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders
      may be issued without restrictive legend.  We will advise you if the
      registration statement is not available or effective at any point in the
      future.

     

    Very
      truly yours,

     

    [Company
      counsel]
