(a)

Interest. The Company shall pay interest accruing on this Note (from October 17, 2006) on all principal outstanding at the Interest Rate, semi-annually on the Interest Payment Dates, commencing on April 17, 2007, in cash or the Company may pay such interest, at the Company’s option, (i) in fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (such interest paid in such form being herein called “PIK Interest”) or (ii) in cash.

In order to deliver PIK Interest Shares in lieu of cash on an Interest Payment Date, the Company must deliver, on or before the due date, written notice to the Holder stating that the Company wishes to do so (a “PIK Interest Notice”); in the event that the Company does not deliver a PIK Interest Notice on or before such date, the Company will be deemed to have elected to pay the related interest in cash.

Any principal of this Note that is converted pursuant to Section 3 shall be applied to reduce the principal payable under this Section 2(b).

(c)

Prepayment.  At any time following the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, upon delivery of a written notice to the Holder (a “Company Prepayment Notice” and the date such notice is delivered by the Company, the “Company Notice Date”), the Company shall be entitled to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to deliver a Company Prepayment Notice and prepay this Note pursuant to the terms of this subsection (c) only if (i) there is Effective Registration on the Company Notice Date and it is expected that Effective Registration will continue for at least 20 Trading Days after the Company Notice Date, and (ii) conversion by the Holder pursuant to Section 3 of the portion of this Note that is being prepaid would not cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock to exceed the limits set forth in Section 3.12 of the Purchase Agreement.  The Holder may, within ten Trading Days of its receipt of the Company Prepayment Notice, convert pursuant to Section 3, at the then effective Conversion Price, any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note being prepaid and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon subject to the Company Prepayment Notice.

Section 3.

Conversion.

(a)

Conversion Rights.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Common Stock, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by delivering to the Company a duly executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Optional Conversion Notice”), which may be transmitted by telephone line facsimile transmission. In addition, upon written notice by the Company to the Holder (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”), the Company may cause the Holder to convert all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Common Stock, if (and only if) (i) there is Effective Registration on the date that the Holder receives the Mandatory Conversion Notice, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock exceeded 200% of the Conversion Price then in effect for any 20 out of 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding (but not including) the date that the Holder receives the Mandatory Conversion Notice, and (iii) the average daily trading volume for the Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding (but not including) the date that the Holder receives the Mandatory Conversion Notice exceeded 100,000 shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note and the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall not be convertible into Common Stock at any time to the extent, and only to the extent, that such conversion at such time would result in the Holder exceeding the limitation contained in, or otherwise violating the provisions of, Section 3.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

-7-

(b)

Common Stock Issuance Upon Conversion.

(i)

Conversion Procedures. Upon any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the outstanding Principal Amount being converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Conversion Date shall be converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount being converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Conversion Date by the then applicable Conversion Price. The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.  If a conversion under this Note cannot be effected in full for any reason, or if the Holder is converting less than all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, promptly deliver to the Holder (but no later than five Trading Days after the surrender of this Note to the Company) a new Note having a Principal Amount equal to the amount of such outstanding Principal Amount as has not been converted. The Holder shall not be required physically to surrender this Note to the Company upon any conversion unless the full outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is being converted or repaid. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment. The Holder agrees that, if the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is less than the Principal Amount stated on the face of this Note, the Holder will not voluntarily transfer this Note at any time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without first surrendering this Note to the Company for issuance, without charge to the Holder, of a replacement instrument that reflects the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note. The Company will deliver such replacement instrument to the Holder as promptly as practical, but in no event later than three Trading Days, after surrender by the Holder. 

(ii)

Stock Certificates.  The Company will deliver to the Holder not later than three (3) Trading Days after a particular Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates, which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (except to the extent permitted under Article V of the Purchase Agreement), for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of this Note.  If in the case of any conversion hereunder, such shares are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third Trading Day after the applicable Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such shares, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note to the Holder if the Holder has tendered it to the Company in connection with such conversion. If the Holder notifies the Company that the Holder has not received such shares (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends except as permitted by Article V of the Purchase Agreement) within three Trading Days after a particular Conversion Date (each, a “Holder Share Notice”) and the Holder does not receive such shares (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends except as permitted by Article V of the Purchase Agreement) within two Trading Days after giving such Holder Share Notice, then, in addition to any other liability the Company may have, the Company shall pay to the 

-8-

Holder, in cash, an amount, computed at the rate of 2% of the outstanding Principal Amount per month, for the period such failure continues (the “Conversion Delay Payments”). A Holder Share Notice may be given by telephone, confirmed in writing, or e-mail to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel or Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, of any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Company to the Holder, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with such exercise.  

(iii)

Liability for Late Delivery; Force Majeure.  If in any case the Company shall fail to issue and deliver the shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to this Note on the due date therefor, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have hereunder and under applicable law (A) the Company shall pay or reimburse the Holder on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred by the Holder as a result of such failure, so long as the Holder shall have given the Company a Holder Share Notice with respect to such shares of Common Stock, (B) if as a result of such failure the Holder shall suffer any direct damages or liabilities from such failure (including, without limitation, margin interest and the cost of purchasing securities to cover a sale (whether by the Holder or the Holder’s securities broker) or borrowing of shares of Common Stock by the Holder for purposes of settling any trade involving a sale of shares of Common Stock made by the Holder during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on the date the Company delivers or causes to be delivered to the Holder such shares of Common Stock), then the Company shall upon demand of the Holder pay to the Holder an amount equal to the actual, direct out-of-pocket damages and liabilities suffered by the Holder by reason thereof which the Holder documents to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, so long as the Holder shall have given the Company a Holder Share Notice with respect to such shares of Common Stock, and (C) the Holder may by written notice (which may be given by mail, courier, personal service or telephone line facsimile transmission) or oral notice (promptly confirmed in writing), given at any time prior to delivery to the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any exercise of the Holder’s rights by reason of which such shares are deliverable, rescind such exercise in whole or in part, in which case the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to exercise its rights with respect to that portion of this Note as to which such exercise is so rescinded and to exercise its other rights and remedies with respect to such failure by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 3(b)(ii), (x) the Company shall not be liable to the Holder under clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence or (y) for Conversion Delay Payments, in either such case of the preceding clause (x) or (y) to the extent the failure of the Company to deliver or to cause to be delivered such shares of Common Stock results from a Force Majeure Event (it being understood that the action or failure to act of the Company’s Transfer Agent shall not be deemed a Force 

-9-

Majeure Event unless outside the control of such Transfer Agent or resulting from the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of such Transfer Agent under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law). The Holder shall notify the Company in writing (or by telephone conversation, confirmed in writing) as promptly as practicable following the third Trading Day after the due date for delivery to it of shares of Common Stock under this Note if the Holder becomes aware that such shares of Common Stock so issuable have not been received as provided herein, but any failure so to give such notice shall not affect the Holder’s rights under this Note or otherwise. If pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) the Company is relieved of its obligation to make Conversion Delay Payments, then the Principal Amount of this Note for which a Conversion Notice has been given and for which the Company has not issued the shares of Common Stock within the period provided in Section 3(b)(ii) shall continue to bear interest at the applicable rate provided in this Note from the applicable Conversion Date to the date the Company so issues such shares of Common Stock.

(c)

Conversion Price Adjustments.

(i)

Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. In the event that the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all its stockholders, in shares of Common Stock, on any class of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary which is not directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, (B) split or subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above had this Note been fully converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date in the case of such subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under clause (ii) below.

(ii)

Adjustment for Certain Issuances.  

(A)

In the event that the Company shall commit to issue or distribute New Securities, in any such case at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share on the earliest of (1) the date the Company shall enter into a firm contract for such issuance or distribution, (2) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive any such New Securities, if applicable, or (3) the date of actual issuance or distribution of any such New Securities (provided that the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of New Securities that are rights, warrants, options or convertible or exchangeable securities (“New Derivative Securities”) will not cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price if no such adjustment would have been required at the time such New Derivative Security was issued), then the Conversion 

-10-

Price in effect immediately prior to such earliest date shall be adjusted so that the new Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such earliest date by the fraction:

(x) whose numerator shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to any securities (other than this Note) convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) plus (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of New Securities so offered would have purchased at such Current Market Price (such amount, with respect to any New Derivative Securities, determined by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto by the exercise price of such New Derivative Securities, and dividing the product so obtained by such Current Market Price), and

(y) whose denominator shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to any securities (other than this Note) convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock) plus (II) the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued or distributed or receivable upon exercise of any such New Derivative Security.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such New Securities are issued. In determining whether any New Derivative Securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of shares of Common Stock so issued, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such Common Stock or New Derivative Securities, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a certificate filed with the records of corporate proceedings of the Company. If any New Derivative Security to purchase or acquire Common Stock, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection (A) shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration be recomputed to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the adjustment of the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such New Derivative Security been made on the basis of offering for subscription, purchase or issuance, as the case may be, only of that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased or issued upon the actual exercise of such New Derivative Security. 

(B)

In the event that the Company shall issue or distribute New Securities, in any such case at a price per share less than $1.50 or that would entitle the holders of the New Securities to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than $1.50 per share (provided that the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of New Derivative Securities will not cause an adjustment in the Conversion Price if no such adjustment would have been required at the time such New Derivative Security was issued), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price at which the Company issues or distributes such New Securities (or the price at which the 

-11-

holders of the New Securities are entitled to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock). Each such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such New Securities are issued. In determining whether any New Derivative Securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than $1.50 per share, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such New Derivative Securities, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a certificate filed with the records of corporate proceedings of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an adjustment be made under this subsection (B) if such adjustment would result in raising the then-effective Conversion Price. 

(iii)

Rounding of Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 3(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3 or Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or nearest 1/100th of a share.

(iv)

Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3(c), the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.

(v)

Notice of Certain Events.  If:

A.

the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

B.

the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a tender offer for, offer to purchase or redemption of its Common Stock; or

C.

In any event the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within one Business Day after such acceleration. The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.

Section 5.

Certain Covenants; General.

(a)

Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales hereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to the Holder and any prospective purchaser of this Note from the Holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of the Holder and it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell this Note without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as Rule 144A may be amended from time to time.  Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b)

Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in seeking to enforce this Note.

(c)

Savings Clause. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law.  If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt.  If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.

The Holder shall notify the Company of any such assignment or transfer promptly. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Note.  This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.

(f)

No Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power.  Each and every right, remedy or power hereby granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.

(g)

Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(i)

Governing Law.  THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(iii)

NO JURY TRIAL. The Company knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation based on, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Note.

(h)

Replacement Notes. This Note may be exchanged by Holder at any time and from time to time for a Note or Notes with different denominations representing an equal aggregate outstanding Principal Amount, as reasonably requested by Holder, upon surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for such registration or exchange.  In the event that Holder notifies the Company that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a replacement Note identical in all respects to the original Note (except for registration number and Principal Amount, if different than that shown on the original Note), shall be issued to the Holder, without requirement for any surety bond, provided that the Holder executes and delivers to the Company an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 28th  day of October, 2006 by and among Broadcast International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Utah (“Broadcast International” or the “Company”), and Leon Frenkel (hereinafter referred to as the “Investor”). Unless defined otherwise, capitalized terms herein shall have the identical meaning as in the Securities Purchase  Agreement.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Company and the Investor, as part of the consideration, Investor shall receive a Convertible Note and Warrants, which upon conversion of the Convertible Note, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, entitle the Investor to receive Shares of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the ability of the Investor to sell its Shares of Common Stock is subject to certain restrictions under the 1933 Act; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the Investor with a mechanism that may permit such Investor, to sell its Shares of Common Stock in the future.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements, and subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE, SUPERSEDER

1.1       Incorporation by Reference The foregoing recitals and the Exhibits attached hereto and referred to herein, are hereby acknowledged to be true and accurate, and are incorporated herein by this reference.

1.2     Superseder.  This Agreement, to the extent that it is inconsistent with any other instrument or understanding among the parties governing the affairs of the Company, shall supersede such instrument or understanding to the fullest extent permitted by law.  A copy of this Agreement shall be filed at the Company’s principal office.

ARTICLE II

INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1

Right To Include (“Piggy-Back”) Registrable Securities. Provided that the Registrable Securities have not been registered, if at any time after the date hereof but before the second anniversary of the date hereof, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act (other than by a registration in connection with an acquisition in a manner which would not permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public, on Form S-8, or any successor form thereto, on Form S-4, or any successor form thereto and other than pursuant to Section 2), on an underwritten basis (either best-efforts or firm-commitment), then, the Company will each such time give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such holders of Registrable Securities' rights under this Section 3.1. Upon the written request of any such holders of Registrable Securities made within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holders of Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of the Registrable Securities, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of such Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register, provided that if, at any time after written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holders of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a  determination not to register, shall be relieved of this obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities entitled to do so to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. No registration effected under this Section 3.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 2. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.1. The right provided the Holders of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section shall be exercisable at their sole discretion and will in no way limit any of the Company's obligations to pay the Securities according to their terms.

2.2

Priority In Incidental Registrations. If the managing underwriter of the underwritten offering contemplated by this Section 2 shall inform the Company and holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i) first securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account, and (ii) second Registrable Securities and (iii) securities of other selling security holders requested to be included in such registration.

ARTICLE III

UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS 

3.1

Incidental Underwritten Offerings. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act as contemplated by Section 2.1 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by any holder of Registrable Securities as provided in Section 2.1 and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters.  In no event shall any Investor be deemed an underwriter for purposes of this Agreement.

3.2

Participation In Underwritten Offerings. No holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering under Section 3.1 unless such holder of Registrable Securities (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, by the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents (other than powers of attorney) required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no underwriting agreement (or other agreement in connection with such offering) shall require any holder of Registrable Securities to make a representation or warranty to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties contained in a writing furnished by such holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use in the related registration statement or representations, warranties or agreements regarding such holder of Registrable Securities, such holder's Registrable Securities and such holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

3.3

Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the 1933 Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the holders of Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such holders' and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION 

4.1

Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the 1933 Act, the Company will, and hereby does agree to indemnify and hold harmless the holder of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, its directors and officers, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such director or officer or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, 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 securities were registered under the 1933 Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such holder or underwriter stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof and, provided further that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or to any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the 1933 Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.

4.2

Indemnification by the Investor. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, that the Company shall have received an undertaking satisfactory to it from the prospective holder of such Registrable Securities, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4.1) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such holder of Registrable Securities specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Investor. The indemnification by the Investors shall be limited to Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars.

4.3

Notices Of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Sections 4.1 and Section 4.2, such indemnified party will, if claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Sections 4.1 and Section 4.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability, or a covenant not to sue, in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party.

4.4

Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in Sections 4.1 and Section 4.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each holder of Registrable Securities (but only if and to the extent required pursuant to the terms herein) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the 1933 Act.

4.5

Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by Sections 4.1 and Section 4.2 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

4.6

Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 4.1 and Section 4.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the initial sale of the Registrable Securities by the Company to the purchasers bear to the gain, if any, realized by all selling holders participating in such offering or the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the underwriter, as the case may be. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information supplied by the Company, by the holder of Registrable Securities or by the underwriter and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the provisions contained herein, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this Section 4.6 exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for hereunder had been available under the circumstances.

The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders of Registrable Securities and any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.6, no holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the net proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the applicable Registration Statement or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

In addition, and whether or not any express assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the parties hereto other than the Company shall also be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent holder of any Registrable Securities. Each of the Holders of the Registrable Securities agrees, by accepting any portion of the Registrable Securities after the date hereof, to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, appointment of the Investors' Representative to act on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the terms hereof which such actions shall be made in the good faith discretion of the Investors' Representative and be binding on all persons for all purposes.
