                        2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                             GAMEZNFLIX, INC.
                         2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     1.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     1.1  Purpose.

     The GameZnFlix, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan ("Plan") is intended to
allow designated directors, officers, employees, and certain non-employees,
including consultants (all of whom are sometimes collectively referred to
herein as "Employees") of GameZnFlix, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("GameZnFlix")
and its  Subsidiaries (as that term is defined below) which it may have from
time to time  (GameZnFlix and such Subsidiaries are referred to herein as the
"Company") to  receive certain options ("Stock Options") to purchase
GameZnFlix's common stock,  one tenth of one cent ($0.001) par value
("CommonStock"), and to receive grants  of Common Stock  subject to certain
restrictions ("Awards").  As used in  this Plan, the term "Subsidiary" shall
mean each corporation which is a  "subsidiary corporation" of GameZnFlix within
the meaning of Section 424(f) of  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Code").  The purpose of this Plan is to provide  Employees with equity-based
compensation incentives to make significant and  extraordinary contributions to
the long-term performance and growth of the  Company, and to attract and retain
employees of exceptional ability.  The Employees shall  be providing bone fide
services to the Company, which such services shall  neither be in connection
with a capital raising function for the Company nor in  connection with making
a market in the Common Stock.

     1.2  Administration.

     1.2.1  The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of
GameZnFlix ("Board").  A majority of its members shall constitute a
quorum.  The Board shall be governed by the provisions of GameZnFlix's
Bylaws and of Nevada law applicable to the Board, except as otherwise
provided herein or determined by the Board.

     1.2.2  The Board shall have full and complete authority, in its
discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan: to approve
the Employees nominated by the management of the Company to be granted
Awards or Stock Options; to determine the number of Awards or Stock
Options to be granted to an Employee; to determine the time or times at
which Awards or Stock Options shall be granted; to establish the terms
and conditions upon which Awards or Stock Options may be exercised; to
remove or adjust any restrictions and conditions upon Awards or Stock
Options; to specify, at the time of grant, provisions relating to
exercisability of Stock Options and to accelerate or otherwise modify the
exercisability of any Stock Options; and to adopt such rules and regu-
lations and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan.  All interpretations and
constructions of the Plan by the Board, and all of its actions hereunder,
shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

     1.2.3  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Board member and each Employee of the Company, and the estate and heirs
of such Board member or Employee, against all claims, liabilities,
expenses, penalties, damages or other pecuniary losses, including legal
fees, which such Board member or Employee, his or her estate or heirs may
suffer as a result of his or her responsibilities, obligations or duties
in connection with the Plan, to the extent that insurance, if any, does
not cover the payment of such items.  No member of the Board or the Board
shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or any Award or Stock Option granted pursuant to the
Plan.

     1.3  Eligibility and Participation.

     Employees eligible under the Plan shall be approved by the Board
from those Employees who, in the opinion of the management of the
Company, are in positions that enable them to make significant and
extraordinary contributions to the long-term performance and growth of
the Company.  In selecting Employees to whom Stock Options or Awards may
be granted, consideration shall be given to factors such as employment
position, duties and responsibilities, ability, productivity, length of
service, morale, interest in the Company and recommendations of supervisors.

     1.4  Shares Subject to the Plan.

     The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to the Plan shall be Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000)
subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4.1.  If
shares of Common Stock awarded or issued under the Plan are reacquired by
the Company due to a forfeiture or for any other reason, such shares
shall be cancelled and thereafter shall again be available for purposes
of the Plan.  If a Stock Option expires, terminates or is cancelled for
any reason without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common
Stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available for purposes of
the Plan.

     2.  PROVISIONS RELATING TO STOCK OPTIONS.

     2.1  Grants of Stock Options.

     The Board may grant Stock Options in such amounts, at such times,
and to such Employees nominated by the management of the Company as the
Board, in its discretion, may determine.   Stock Options granted under
the Plan shall constitute "Incentive Stock Options" within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, if so designated by the Board on the date of
grant.  The Board shall also have the discretion to grant Stock Options
which do not constitute incentive stock options, and any such Stock
Options shall be designated non-statutory stock options by the Board on
the date of grant.  The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
time an incentive stock option is granted) of the Common Stock with
respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first
time by any Employee during any one calendar year (under all plans of the
Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company) may not exceed the
maximum amount permitted under Section 422 of the Code (currently one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00)).  Non-statutory stock options
shall not be subject to the limitations relating to incentive stock
options contained in the preceding sentence.  Each Stock Option shall be
evidenced by a written agreement ("Option Agreement") in a form approved
by the Board, which shall be executed on behalf of the Company and by the
Employee to whom the Stock Option is granted, and which shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of this Plan.  In the discretion of the
Board, Stock Options may include provisions (which need not be uniform),
authorized by the Board in its discretion, that accelerate an Employee's
rights to exercise Stock Options following a "Change in Control," as such
term is defined in paragraph 3.1 hereof.  The holder of a Stock Option
shall not be entitled to the privileges of stock ownership as to any
shares of Common Stock not actually issued to such holder.

     2.2  Purchase Price.

     The purchase price ("Exercise Price") of shares of Common Stock
subject to each non-statutory Stock Option ("Option Shares") shall be
equal to whatever price is established by the Board, in its sole
discretion, on the date of the grant.  The Exercise Price of Incentive
Stock Options shall be the fair market value of the options on the date
of the grant thereof.  For an Employee holding stock possessing more than
ten percent (10%) percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company, the Exercise Price of an incentive
Stock Option shall be at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
fair market value of the Common Stock and such option.

     2.3  Option Period.

     The Stock Option period ("Term") shall commence on the date of grant
of the incentive Stock Option and shall be ten (10) years or such shorter
period as is determined by the Board; the Term for an incentive Stock
Option granted to an Employee holding stock possessing more than ten
percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company shall be five (5) years from the date such option is
granted.  The Term for Non-statutory Stock Options shall be whatever
period, if any, is set by the Board.  Each Stock Option shall provide
that it is exercisable over its term in such periodic installments as the
Board in its sole discretion may determine.  Such provisions need not be
uniform.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of
paragraphs 1.2.2 and 2.1, Stock Options granted to Employees who are
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act ("Section 16 Reporting Persons") shall not be exercisable until at
least six (6) months and one day from the date the Stock Option is
granted.

     2.4  Exercise of Options.

     2.4.1  Each Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part (but not
as to fractional shares) by delivering it for surrender or endorsement to
the Company, attention of the Corporate Secretary, at the principal
office of the Company, together with payment of the Exercise Price and an
executed Notice and Agreement of Exercise in the form prescribed by
paragraph 2.4.2.  Payment may be made  (i) in cash, (ii) by cashier's or
certified check, (iii) by surrender of previously owned shares of the
Company's Common Stock valued pursuant to paragraph 2.2 (if the Board
authorizes payment in stock in its discretion), (iv) by withholding from
the Option Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of
the Stock Option that number of Option Shares equal to the exercise price
of the Stock Option, if such withholding is authorized by the Board in
its discretion, (v) in the discretion of the Board, by the delivery to
the Company of the optionee's promissory note secured by the Option
Shares, bearing interest at a rate sufficient to prevent the imputation
of interest under Sections 483 or 1274 of the Code, and having such other
terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to the Board, or (vi)
cashless exercise program as established by GameZnFlix.

     2.4.2  Exercise of each Stock Option is conditioned upon the agreement
of the Employee to the terms and conditions of this Plan and of such
Stock Option as evidenced by the Employee's execution and delivery of a
Notice and Agreement of Exercise in a form to be determined by the Board
in its discretion.  Such Notice and Agreement of Exercise shall set forth
the agreement of the Employee that:  (a) no Option Shares will be sold or
otherwise distributed in violation of the Securities Act of 1933
("Securities Act") or any other applicable federal or state securities
laws, (b) each Option Share certificate may be imprinted with legends
reflecting any applicable federal and state securities law restrictions
and conditions, (c) the Company may comply with said securities law
restrictions and issue "stop transfer" instructions to its Transfer Agent
and Registrar without liability, (d) if the Employee is a Section 16
Reporting Person, the Employee will furnish to the Company a copy of each
Form 4 or Form 5 filed by said Employee and will timely file all reports
required under federal securities laws, and (e) the Employee will report
all sales of Option Shares to the Company in writing on a form prescribed
by the Company.

     2.4.3  No Stock Option shall be exercisable unless and until any
applicable registration or qualification requirements of federal and
state securities laws, and all other legal requirements, have been fully
complied with.  The Company will use reasonable efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act for
the issuance of Stock Options and shares acquired thereunder, but there
may be times when no such Registration Statement will be currently
effective.  The exercise of Stock Options may be temporarily suspended
without liability to the Company during times when no such Registration
Statement is currently effective, or during times when, in the reasonable
opinion of the Board, such suspension is necessary to preclude violation
of any requirements of applicable law or regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over the Company.  If any Stock Option would expire for any
reason except the end of its term during such a suspension, then if
exercise of such Stock Option is duly tendered before its expiration,
such Stock Option shall be exercisable and exercised (unless the
attempted exercise is withdrawn) as of the first day after the end of
such suspension.  The Company shall have no obligation to file any
Registration Statement covering resales of Option Shares.

     2.5  Restrictions on Transfer.

     Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be transferable only
by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  No interest of any
Employee under the Plan shall be subject to attachment, execution,
garnishment, sequestration, the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal or
equitable process.  Each Stock Option granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable during an Employee's lifetime only by such Employee or by
such Employee's legal representative.

     3.  PROVISIONS RELATING TO AWARDS.

     3.1  Grant of Awards.

     Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have full and
complete authority, in its discretion, but subject to the express
provisions of this Plan, to (i) grant Awards pursuant to the Plan, (ii)
determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Award
("Award Shares"), (iii) determine the terms and conditions (which need
not be identical) of each Award, including the consideration (if any) to
be paid by the Employee for such Common Stock, which may, in the Board's
discretion, consist of the delivery of the Employee's promissory note
meeting the requirements of paragraph 2.4.1, (iv) establish and modify
performance criteria for Awards, and (v) make all of the determinations
necessary or advisable with respect to Awards under the Plan.  Each award
under the Plan shall consist of a grant of shares of Common Stock subject
to a restriction period (after which the restrictions shall lapse), which
shall be a period commencing on the date the award is granted and ending
on such date as the Board shall determine ("Restriction Period").  The
Board may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments, for
acceleration of the lapse of restrictions upon the satisfaction of such
performance or other criteria or upon the occurrence of such events as
the Board shall determine.

     3.2  Incentive Agreements.

     Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
agreement (an "Incentive Agreement") in a form approved by the Board and
executed by the Company and the Employee to whom the Award is granted.
Each Incentive Agreement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan and other such terms and conditions as the Board may specify.

     3.3  Waiver of Restrictions.

     The Board may modify or amend any Award under the Plan or waive any
restrictions or conditions applicable to such Awards; provided, however,
that the Board may not undertake any such modifications, amendments or
waivers if the effect thereof materially increases the benefits to any
Employee, or adversely affects the rights of any Employee without his or
her consent.

     3.4  Terms and Conditions of Awards.

     3.4.1  Upon receipt of an Award of shares of Common Stock under the
Plan, even during the Restriction Period, an Employee shall be the holder
of record of the shares and shall have all the rights of a shareholder
with respect to such shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and the Award.

     3.4.2  Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 3.4, no shares
of Common Stock received pursuant to the Plan shall be sold, exchanged,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of during the
Restriction Period applicable to such shares.  Any purported disposition
of such Common Stock in violation of this paragraph 3.4.2 shall be null
and void.

     3.4.3  The Board may require under such terms and conditions as it
deems appropriate or desirable that (i) the certificates for Common Stock
delivered under the Plan are to be held in custody by the Company or a
person or institution designated by the Company until the Restriction
Period expires, (ii) such certificates shall bear a legend referring to
the restrictions on the Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, and (iii) the
Employee shall have delivered to the Company a stock power endorsed in
blank relating to the Common Stock.

     4.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     4.1  Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization.

     4.1.1  The number and class of shares subject to each outstanding
Stock Option, the Exercise Price thereof (but not the total price), the
maximum number of Stock Options that may be granted under the Plan, the
minimum number of shares as to which a Stock Option may be exercised at
any one time, and the number and class of shares subject to each
outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted in the event of any
increase or decrease in the number of the issued shares of Common Stock
which results from a split-up or consolidation of shares, payment of a
stock dividend or dividends exceeding a total of five percent (5%) for
which the record dates occur in any one fiscal year, a recapitalization
(other than the conversion of convertible securities according to their
terms), a combination of shares or other like capital adjustment, so that
(i) upon exercise of the Stock Option, the Employee shall receive the
number and class of shares such Employee would have received had such
Employee been the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for
which the Stock Option is being exercised upon the date of such change or
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of the Company, and
(ii) upon the lapse of restrictions of the Award Shares, the Employee
shall receive the number and class of shares such Employee would have
received if the restrictions on the Award Shares had lapsed on the date
of such change or increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
the Company.

     4.1.2  Upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company
with one or more corporations as a result of which  is not the surviving
corporation or in which GameZnFlix survives as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of another corporation, or upon a sale of all or substantially all of the
property of the Company to another corporation, or any dividend or
distribution to shareholders of more than ten percent (10%) of the
Company's assets, adequate adjustment or other provisions shall be made
by the Company or other party to such transaction so that there shall
remain and/or be substituted for the Option Shares and Award Shares
provided for herein, the shares, securities or assets which would have
been issuable or payable in respect of or in exchange for such Option
Shares and Award Shares then remaining, as if the Employee had been the
owner of such shares as of the applicable date.  Any securities so
substituted shall be subject to similar successive adjustments.

     4.2  Withholding Taxes.

     The Company shall have the right at the time of exercise of any
Stock Option, the grant of an Award, or the lapse of restrictions on
Award Shares, to make adequate provision for any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes which it believes are or may be required by law to be
withheld with respect to such exercise ("Tax Liability"), to ensure the
payment of any such Tax Liability.  The Company may provide for the
payment of any Tax Liability by any of the following means or a
combination of such means, as determined by the Board in its sole and
absolute discretion in the particular case:  (i) by requiring the
Employee to tender a cash payment to the Company, (ii) by withholding
from the Employee's salary, (iii) by withholding from the Option Shares
which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option, or
from the Award Shares on their grant or date of lapse of restrictions,
that number of Option Shares or Award Shares having an aggregate fair
market value (determined in the manner prescribed by paragraph 2.2) as of
the date the withholding tax obligation arises in an amount which is
equal to the Employee's Tax Liability or (iv) by any other method deemed
appropriate by the Board.  Satisfaction of the Tax Liability of a Section
16 Reporting Person may be made by the method of payment specified in
clause (iii) above only if the following two conditions are satisfied:

     (a)  the withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares and the
exercise of the related Stock Option occur at least six (6) months and
one day following the date of grant of such Stock Option or Award; and

     (b)  the withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares is made either
(i) pursuant to an irrevocable election ("Withholding Election") made by
such Employee at least six months in advance of the withholding of
Options Shares or Award Shares, or (ii) on a day within a ten (10) day
"window period" beginning on the third business day following the date of
release of the Company's quarterly or annual summary statement of sales
and earnings.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Withholding Election
may be disapproved by the Board at any time.

     4.3  Relationship to Other Employee Benefit Plans.

     Stock Options and Awards granted hereunder shall not be deemed to be
salary or other compensation to any Employee for purposes of any pension,
thrift, profit-sharing, stock purchase or any other employee benefit plan
now maintained or hereafter adopted by the Company.

     4.4  Amendments and Termination.

     The Board of Directors may at any time suspend, amend or terminate
this Plan.  For incentive stock options only, no amendment or
modification of this Plan may be adopted, except subject to stockholder
approval, which would: (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to
Employees under this Plan, (b) materially increase the number of
securities which may be issued under this Plan (except for adjustments
pursuant to paragraph 4.1 hereof), or (c) materially modify the
requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan.

     4.5  Successors in Interest.

     The provisions of this Plan and the actions of the Board shall be
binding upon all heirs, successors and assigns of the Company and of
Employees.

     4.6  Other Documents.

     All documents prepared, executed or delivered in connection with
this Plan (including, without limitation, Option Agreements and Incentive
Agreements) shall be, in substance and form, as established and modified
by the Board; provided, however, that all such documents shall be subject
in every respect to the provisions of this Plan, and in the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such document and this Plan, the
provisions of this Plan shall prevail.

     4.7  No Obligation to Continue Employment.

     This Plan and grants hereunder shall not impose any obligation on
the Company to continue to employ any Employee.  Moreover, no provision
of this Plan or any document executed or delivered pursuant to this Plan
shall be deemed modified in any way by any employment contract between an
Employee (or other employee) and the Company.

     4.8  Misconduct of an Employee.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if an Employee
commits fraud or dishonesty toward the Company or wrongfully uses or
discloses any trade secret, confidential data or other information
proprietary to the Company, or intentionally takes any other action
materially inimical to the best interests of the Company, as determined
by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, such Employee shall
forfeit all rights and benefits under this Plan.

     4.9  Term of Plan.

     This Plan was adopted by the Board effective July 13, 2005.  No
Stock Options or Awards may be granted under this Plan after July 13, 2015.

     4.10  Governing Law.

     This Plan shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by,
the laws of the State of Nevada.

     4.11  Shareholder Approval.

     No Stock Option shall be exercisable, or Award granted, unless and
until the Directors of the Company have approved this Plan and all other
legal requirements have been fully complied with.  In addition, no
Incentive Stock Option shall be granted until approved by a majority of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the GameZnFlix.

     4.12  Assumption Agreements.

     The Company will require each successor, (direct or indirect,
whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, prior to the
consummation of each such transaction, to assume and agree to perform the
terms and provisions remaining to be performed by the Company under each
Incentive Agreement and Stock Option and to preserve the benefits to the
Employees thereunder.  Such assumption and agreement shall be set forth
in a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Board
(an "Assumption Agreement"), and shall include such adjustments, if any,
in the application of the provisions of the Incentive Agreements and
Stock Options and such additional provisions, if any, as the Board shall
require and approve, in order to preserve such benefits to the Employees.
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may require
an Assumption Agreement to include satisfactory undertakings by a
successor:

     (a)  to provide liquidity to the Employees at the end of the
Restriction Period applicable to Common Stock awarded to them under the
Plan, or on the exercise of Stock Options;

     (b)  if the succession occurs before the expiration of any period
specified in the Incentive Agreements for satisfaction of performance
criteria applicable to the Common Stock awarded thereunder, to refrain
from interfering with the Company's ability to satisfy such performance
criteria or to agree to modify such performance criteria and/or waive any
criteria that cannot be satisfied as a result of the succession;

     (c)  to require any future successor to enter into an Assumption
Agreement; and

     (d)  to take or refrain from taking such other actions as the Board
may require and approve, in its discretion.

The Board referred to in this paragraph 4.12 is the Board appointed by a
Board of Directors in office prior to the succession then under
consideration.

     4.13  Compliance With Rule 16b-3.

     Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all
applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3.  To the extent that any provision of
the Plan or action by the Board fails to so comply, it shall be deemed
null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
Board.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Plan has been executed as of the 9th day of
January, 2006.

                                       GameZnFlix, Inc.

b.             Rule 424 Prospectus.  The
Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to
time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933
Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in
connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement.  The Investor and its counsel
shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus
prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor shall use its reasonable best
efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Trading Day from
the date the Investor receives the final version of such prospectus.

 

c.             Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In
the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is
insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall
amend the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to
cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any
event not later than ten (10) Trading Days after the necessity therefor
arises.  The Company shall use it
reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing
thereof.

3.             RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

 

With
respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities
are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(b) including on any New
Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall
have the following obligations:

 

a.             The Company shall prepare and file with the
SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to
any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the
1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the
Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

 

b.             The Company shall permit the Investor to
review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Trading
Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to
which Investor reasonably objects.  The
Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements
thereto within two (2) Trading Days from the date the Investor receives
the final version  thereof.  The Company shall furnish to the Investor,
without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the
Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement.

 

c.             Upon request of the Investor, the Company
shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any
amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon
the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus
included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request)
and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or
final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the
Investor.

 

d.             The Company shall use reasonable best efforts
to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a
registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare
and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period,
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration
Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable
to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y)
subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify the 

 

3

 

Investor
who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its
receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose.

 

e.             As promptly as practicable after becoming
aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing
of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which
the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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, and
promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to
correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such
supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request).  The
Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight
mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any
registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of
the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a
registration statement would be appropriate.

 

f.              The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and,
if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such
order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor
of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

g.             The Company shall use reasonable best efforts
to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by
the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal
Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligation under this Section.

 

h.             The Company shall cooperate with the Investor
to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing
any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates to be in
such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and
registered in such names as the Investor may request.

 

i.              The Company shall at all times provide a
transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

 

j.              If reasonably requested by the Investor, the
Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the Investor believes should be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
as 

 

4

 

soon
as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any
registration statement.

 

k.             The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the any registration
statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies
or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.

 

l.              Within one (1) Trading Day after any
registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered
effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel
for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable
Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such registration
statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A.  Thereafter, if
requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to
deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of
such registration statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including,
without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the
registration statement is current and available to the Buyer for sale of all of
the Registrable Securities.

 

m.            The Company shall take all other reasonable
actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

 

4.             OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

 

a.             The Company shall notify the Investor in
writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in
connection with any registration statement hereunder.  The Investor shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and
the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as
shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

b.             The Investor agrees to cooperate with the
Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of any registration statement hereunder.

 

c.             The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of
the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), the
Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any registration statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities
until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of
3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its
transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any
restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt
of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for
which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

5

 

5.             EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

 

All
reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2
and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications
fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.             INDEMNIFICATION.

 

a.             To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the
directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the
Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning
of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several,
(collectively, “Claims”) incurred
in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry,
proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any
court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the
SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection
with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky”
laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement  or (iv) any material violation by the
Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(iv) being, collectively, “Violations”).  The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified
Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall
not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for
use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or
Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superceded prospectus, shall
not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any
such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof
(or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the superceded prospectus
was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if
such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or
Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was 

 

6

 

promptly
advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving
rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice,
used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on
a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus
made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by
the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.  Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

b.             In connection with the Registration Statement
or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New
Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an
Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim
or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by
the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement;
and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to
contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified
Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

c.             Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written
notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the
right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control
of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying
party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by
the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by
the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully
with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of
any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the
indemnifying party all 

 

7

 

information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim.  The
indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations
with respect thereto.  No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the
consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. 
Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying
party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the
matter for which indemnification has been made. 
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

d.             The indemnification required by this Section 6
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified
Damages are incurred.

 

e.             The indemnity agreements contained herein
shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or
others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.

 

7.             CONTRIBUTION.

 

To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or
limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution
with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6
to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no
seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8.             REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACTS.

 

With
a view to making available to the 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 the Investor to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

 

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

 

b.             file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the
1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such 

 

8

 

requirements
and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

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

 

d.             take such additional action as is requested
by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities
pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such
legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the
Company’s Transfer Agent as may be 
requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully
cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities
pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The
Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the
terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Investor shall, whether or
not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to equitable relief in the
form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond
or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or
provisions.

 

9.             ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

The
Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Investor, including by merger or
consolidation.  The Investor may not
assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the
Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Steven G.
Martin or Joshua B. Scheinfeld.

 

10.           AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor.

 

11.           MISCELLANEOUS.

 

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

 

b.             Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered
personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and
kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Trading Day
after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each
case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such

concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
