So long as Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. Company further agrees to file all reports required to be filed by Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to become eligible, and thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form S-3.

(d)

Use of Proceeds. Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Note and the Warrants in the manner set forth in Schedule 4(d) attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not, directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for (i) any loan to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection with its currently existing direct or indirect Subsidiaries); (ii) the satisfaction of any portion of Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of Company’s business and consistent with prior past practices), or (iii) the redemption of any Common Stock.

Company shall at all times maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at an amount (“Reserved Amount”) equal to not less than the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note and upon exercise of the Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the Note or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance (“Authorized and Reserved Shares”) is below the Reserved Amount, Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders within thirty (3) days after obtaining knowledge of any deficiency in the Reserved Amount to authorize additional shares to meet Company’s obligations under this Section 4(e), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and vote the management shares of Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Reserved Amount.

(f)

Listing. Company shall promptly secure the listing or quotation, as the case may be, of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted, as the case may be (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed or quoted, as the case may be, such listing or quotation, as the case may be, of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants. Company will obtain and, so long as Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing or quotation, as the case may be, and trading of its Common 

12

Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) and such exchanges, as applicable. Company shall promptly provide to Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, as the case may be, regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing or quotation, as the case may be, on such exchanges and quotation systems.

(g)

Corporate Existence. So long as Buyer beneficially owns any portion of the Note or Warrants, Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.

(h)

No Integration. Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to Company or its securities.

(i)

Stockholder Approval. To the extent not already accomplished, Company shall file a proxy or information statement with the SEC within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, and use its best efforts to obtain within sixty (60) days thereafter, such approvals of Company’s stockholders as may be required to issue all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of, or otherwise with respect to, the Note and the Warrants in accordance with Nevada law and any applicable rules or regulations of the OTCBB and Nasdaq (“Stockholder Approval”). Company shall furnish to Buyer and its legal counsel promptly, but in no event less than two (2) business days before the same is filed with the SEC, one copy of the proxy or information statement and any amendment thereto, and shall deliver to Buyer promptly each letter written by or on behalf of Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such proxy or information statement (other than any portion thereof which contains information for which Company has sought confidential treatment). Company will promptly, but in no event more than three (3) business days, respond to any and all comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made available to Buyer). Company shall comply with the filing and disclosure requirements of Section 14 under the 1934 Act in connection with the Stockholder Approval. Company represents and warrants that its Board of Directors has approved the proposal contemplated by this Section 3(i) and shall indicate such approval in the proxy or information statement used in connection with the Stockholder Approval.

(j)

Restriction on Short Sales. Buyer agrees that, so long as any of the Note remains outstanding, but in no event for less than two (2) years from the date hereof, 

13

Buyer will not enter into or effect any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.

5.

TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by Buyer to Company upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If Buyer provides Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by Buyer. Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Company of the provisions of this Section, that Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 18th, 2005, is made by and among EGPI FIRECREEK, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and TIRION GROUP INC., a BVI Registered Co., ( “Investor”). 

R E C I T A L S

A.

In connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into contemporaneous herewith by the parties hereto (the “Parties”, and each a “Party”), Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, to issue and sell to Investor (i) one (1) seven percent (7%) Callable Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) notes in the principal amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) that is convertible into shares of Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note, and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) between the Parties executed of even date herewith.

B.

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

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

1.

DEFINITIONS.

(a)

Certain Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i)

“Investor” means Investor named herein and any transferee or assignee who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof.

(ii)

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

(iii)

“Registrable Securities” means the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the Note, issued or issuable pursuant to the Note, and Warrant Shares issuable, upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, and any shares of capital stock issued or issuable as a dividend on or in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing.

(iv)

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

(b)

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

2.

REGISTRATION.

(a)

Mandatory Registration. Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to thirty (30) days from the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Filing Date”), file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of Investor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities underlying the Notes and Warrants issued or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note and exercise of the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be equal to the number of Conversion Shares that are then issuable upon conversion of the Notes (based on the Conversion Price as would then be in effect and assuming the Conversion Price is the Conversion Price at such time), and the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, without regard to any limitation on Investor’s ability to convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants. Company acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in the Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants.

(b)

Underwritten Offering. If any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten offering, Investor shall have the right to select legal counsel and an investment banker or bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering, which investment banker or bankers or manager or managers shall be reasonably satisfactory to Company.

(c)

Payments by Company. Company shall use its best efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement within ninety (90) calendar days after the submission thereof. If the Registration Statement is not declared effective within such ninety (909 day period, then Company shall pay to Investor a cash amount within three (3) business days after the end of the month in which such ninety (90) day period ends, equal to two percent 

2

(2%) per month of the liquidation value of the Note as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, until the Registration Statement is declared effective. Company shall keep the Registration Statement “evergreen” for the life of the Note.

(b)

Amendments and Supplements. Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement.

(c)

Copies to be Provided to Investor. Company shall furnish to Investor promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by Company, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, and correspondence between Company and the SEC relating to the Registration Statement.

Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to Investor prior to making such disclosure, and allow Investor, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(e)

Certificates. Company shall cooperate with Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing restrictive legends) representing the Registrable Securities and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts,

7.

With a view to making available to Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Investor to sell securities of Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), Company agrees to:
