AGREEMENT

     

    REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as
of November 16, 2009, by and between BERGIO INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and TANGIERS INVESTORS, LP., a
Delaware limited partnership (the “Investor”).

     

    WHEREAS:

     

    A.In connection with the Securities
Purchase Agreement by and between the parties hereto of even date herewith (the
“Securities
Purchase Agreement”), the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investor that number of
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Common
Stock”), which can be
purchased pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement for an
aggregate purchase price of up to Twenty-Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

     

    B.To induce the Investor to execute and
deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement, the 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 “Securities
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, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as
follows:

     

    1.DEFINITIONS.

     

    As used
in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

     

    a.“Person” means a corporation, a limited
liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business,
an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental
agency.

     

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

     

    c.“Registrable
Securities” means the
Investor’s Shares, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and shares
of Common Stock issuable to Investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

    

    d.“Registration
Statement” means a
registration statement under the Securities Act which covers the Registrable
Securities.

     

    2.REGISTRATION.

     

    a.Mandatory
Registration. The Company
shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or on
such 

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    other form as is available. The Company
shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC
prior to the first sale to the Investor of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall cause the Registration
Statement to remain effective until the full completion of the Commitment Period
(as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement).

     

    b.Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is
insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall amend the Registration
Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available
therefore, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement as soon as practicable,
but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefore
arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares
available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Registrable
Securities issuable on an Advance Notice Date is greater than the number of
shares available for resale under such Registration
Statement.

     

    3.RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.

     

    a.The Company shall keep the Registration
Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the completion of
the Commitment Period (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) (the “Registration
Period”), which
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.

     

    b.The Company shall prepare and file with
the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to a 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 Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period,
and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered
by such 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. In the case of amendments and supplements to a
Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company’s filing a
report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), the Company shall
have incorporated such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if
applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the
same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement
for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement.

    

    c.The Company shall furnish to the
Investor without charge, (i) at least one copy of such Registration Statement as
declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all
exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

     

    d.The Company shall use its 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 (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
(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 Investor
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 threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.

     

    e.As promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify the
Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omission 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 (provided
that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information),
and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to
correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such
supplement or amendment to each Investor. 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), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or
supplements to a 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 best efforts
to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States
of America 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.At the reasonable request of the
Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, on the date of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on
such dates as the Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date,
from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as
of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such
Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investor.

     

    h.The Company shall make available for
inspection by (i) the Investor and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents
retained by the Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent
financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to
enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the
Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any
Inspector may reasonably request in connection with the Registration Statement.
The Investor agrees that Records obtained by it as a result of such inspections
which is conspicuously marked by the Company as "Confidential" (subject to the
Company’s obligations with respect to material non-public information set forth
in Section 8.1(a) herein) shall be deemed confidential and held in strict
confidence by the Investor, 

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    unless (a) the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b)
the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable
subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or
(c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of
which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge. The Investor agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court
or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give
prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, the Records deemed confidential.

    

    i.The Company shall hold in confidence
and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to
the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply
with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body
of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement
or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that
disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the
Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or
to obtain a protective order for, such information.

     

    j.The Company shall use its best efforts
either to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement (i) 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 to secure the inclusion for quotation on the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligation under this Section 3(j).

     

    k.The Company shall cooperate with the
Investor to the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the
Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and
enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may
be, as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the
Investor may request.

     

    l.The Company shall use its best efforts
to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable 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.

     

    m.The Company shall make generally
available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than
ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings
statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the
Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the
first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of
the Registration Statement.

     

    n.The Company shall otherwise use its
best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in
connection with any registration hereunder.

     

    o.Within five (5) business days after a
Registration Statement which covers 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.

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    p.The Company shall take all other
reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the
Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement.

    

    4.OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INVESTOR.

     

    The
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any 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), 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(e) or receipt of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the 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.EXPENSES OF
REGISTRATION.

     

    All
expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration,
listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting fees shall be
paid by the Company.

     

    6.INDEMNIFICATION.

     

    With
respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement
under this Agreement:

     

    a.To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives
of, and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified
Person”), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges,
costs, reasonable 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
a 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 any 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; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

       

       

      Registration Statement (the matters in
the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the
Investor and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred
and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim.

    

    

    b.In connection with a Registration
Statement, the Investor agrees to 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
and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified
Party”), against any Claim
or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or
Indemnified Damages arise out of or is 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 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new
prospectus was delivered to the Investor prior to the Investor’s use of the
prospectus to which the Claim relates.

    

    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 of not more than one counsel
for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party 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 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 prior written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written 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 Securities 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
UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

     

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

     

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

     

    b.file with the SEC in a timely manner
all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements
(it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations
under Section 6.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such
reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule
144; and

     

    c.furnish to the 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 requirements of
Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange 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.

     

    9.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 by a written agreement between the Company and the
Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9
shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. No consideration shall be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is
offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    

    10.MISCELLANEOUS.

     

    a.A Person is deemed to be a holder of
Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record

    Re:   BERGIO
INTERNATIONAL, INC.

    

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

    

    We are
counsel to Bergio International, Inc. (the “Company”), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and Tangiers
Investors, LP (the “Investor”) pursuant
to which the Company issued to the Investor shares of its Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into
a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In
connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on
Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the
Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a selling stockholder
thereunder.

     

    In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff
has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the
Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS]
on [ENTER DATE OF
EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a
member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has
been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or
threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale
under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

     

    
      	
              
Very truly
    yours,

AMENDMENT NO.1

TO

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement (this “Amendment”)
is made as of the 11th day of January, 2010, by and between STAAR Surgical Company, a Delaware
corporation (“STAAR”), and Barry G. Caldwell (“the Executive”), in reference to the following:

RECITALS

A. The Executive and STAAR are parties to an Amended and Restated Executive Employment
Agreement dated December 31, 2008 (the “Agreement”), whereby STAAR agreed to retain the services of
the Executive as its Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive agreed to render such services.

B. The Agreement provides reiumbursement for an apartment in the vicinity of STAAR’s offices
until such time as the Executive relocates his principal residence from the Fort Worth, Texas area
to Southern California, which has assisted the Excutive in devoting his full-time efforts to the
management of STAAR.

C. Due to extraordinarily difficult conditions in the housing market since the Executive
joined STAAR, it has not been practicable for the Executive to relocate his principal residence.

D. The parties wish to modify the terms of the Agreement to extend the availability of
reimbursement for an apartment in the vicinity of STAAR for a limited period, pending relocation of
the Executive’s principal residence, on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises stated above, the mutual promises contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Section 3.5(a) of the Agreement is hereby replaced and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a) Subject to Section 3.5(c) below, until such time as the Executive
may relocate his principal residence to the vicinity of STAAR’s offices, STAAR will
(i) during the 2010 calendar year reimburse the Executive for the cost of a serviced
executive apartment in the vicinity of STAAR’s offices and pay for two round trips
each month between California and Fort Worth, Texas for either the Executive or his
spouse; and (ii) during the 2011 calendar year reimburse the Executive for 50% of
such cost and pay for one such round trip each month.”

2. Section 3.5(c)(i) of the Agreement is hereby replaced and restated in its entirety as
followsis hereby amended by replacing the words:

	 	 	 	“(i) The eligible expenses or in-kind benefits provided for
in clause (i) of Section 3.5(a) must be incurred or provided in the
2010 calendar year and the eligible expenses or in-kind benefits
provided for in clause (ii) of Section 3.5(a) must be incurred or
provided in the 2011 calendar year . All other eligible expenses or
in-kind benefits provided for in this Section 3.5 must have been
incurred or provided during the 2009 calendar year. All other eligible
expenses or in-kind benefits provided for in this Agreement must be
incurred or provided during the Term.”	 

3. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all terms, conditions and provisions of the
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as set forth in the Agreement. Except as
otherwise modified or defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Amendment have the same
meanings as set forth in the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and
conditions of the Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and
conditions of this Amendment shall prevail. Each party represents and warrants to the other party
that this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes a valid
and legally binding agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein. Each party
agrees that the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement between the Parties, and supersedes all prior proposals and
understandings, oral and written, relating to the subject matter contained herein. This Amendment
shall not be modified or rescinded except in a writing signed by the Parties. This Amendment may be
executed manually or by facsimile signature in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated
Executive Employment Agreement, effective on the date first written above.
