    ARTICLE
V.

    Indemnification

     

    The
Investor and the Company represent to the other the following with respect to
itself:

     

    Section 5.1.
Indemnification.

     

    (a)  In consideration of the
Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of
the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend,
protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, and all of its officers,
directors, partners, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the “Investor
Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or
breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement
or the Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim
brought or made against such Investor Indemnitee not arising out of any action
or inaction of an Investor Indemnitee, and arising out of or resulting from the
execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other
instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the
Investor Indemnitees. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law.

     

    (b)           In
consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in
addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the
Investor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all of its
officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company
Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, arising out of, or relating to
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made
by the Investor in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor
contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any
cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Company Indemnitee
not arising out of any action or inaction of an Company Indemnitee, and arising
out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of
this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant
hereto by any of the Company Indemnitees provided, however, that the Investor
shall not be liable under this Section 5.1 to a Company Indemnitee to the extent
that such Indemnified Liabilities resulted or arose from the breach by a Company
Indemnitee of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of a Company
Indemnitee contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or
the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith of a Company
Indemnitee.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Investor may be unenforceable for any reason, the Investor shall make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities , which is permissible under applicable law.

     

    (c)  The obligations of the
parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Section 5.1 shall
survive termination.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
5.2.  Notification of Claims for
Indemnification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Article V (an “Indemnified Party”)
shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim
against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from
the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Article V
(the “Indemnifying
Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement
thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The
failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such
action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may
have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article V or
(b) under this Article V unless, and only to the extent that, such failure
results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses
or the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed
below shall govern the procedures for the handling of indemnification
claims.

     

    (a)   Any claim for
indemnification for Indemnified Liabilities that do not result from a Third
Party Claim as defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written
notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such
Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the
receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to
make payment as set forth in Section 5.1. If such Indemnifying Party does
not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in
whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as
specified in this Agreement.

     

    (b)   If an Indemnified
Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person or
entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim
(collectively a “Third
Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be
obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such
Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after
becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.

     

    (c)   An Indemnifying
Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any
reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such
Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel,
any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice
from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of such Third Party Claim so
requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the
Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party
Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or
rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to
pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case any such Third
Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify
the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided,
however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate
counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in any Third Party Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the
one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably
likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or
more significant defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not
available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict
exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation
advisable; provided, however, that in such circumstances the Indemnifying Party
(i) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties
for such reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any such Third
Party Claim, as such expenses are incurred, provided that the Indemnified
Parties agree to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the
Indemnifying Party was not obligated to provide indemnification under this
Article IX. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters
contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been
actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected
against an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The
rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any
rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement
or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article V shall
restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek
equitable relief.

stock and/or securities as the Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Agreement.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section 6.7. Prohibited
Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict
the right of the Company to offer, sell and/or issue securities of any kind
whatsoever, provided such transaction is not a Prohibited Transaction (as
defined below) (any such transaction that is not a Prohibited Transaction is
referred to in this Agreement as a “Permitted Transaction”). Without limiting
the generality of the preceding sentence, the Company may, without the prior
written consent of the Investor, (i) establish stock option, stock
purchase, stock bonus or other equity incentive or award plans or agreements
(for directors, employees, consultants and/or advisors), and issue securities
thereunder, and amend such plans or agreements, including increasing the number
of shares available thereunder, (ii) issue equity securities to finance, or
otherwise in connection with, the acquisition, license or sale of one or more
other companies, equipment, technologies or lines of business, (iii) issue
shares of Common Stock and/or other securities in connection with the Company’s
option, equity incentive or award plans, stock purchase plans, stock bonus
programs, rights plans, warrants or options, (iv) issue shares of Common
Stock and/or other securities in connection with the acquisition, license or
sale of products, licenses, equipment or other assets and strategic
collaborations, partnerships, joint ventures or similar transactions;
(v) issue shares of Common and/or other securities to employees,
consultants and/or advisors as consideration for services rendered or to be
rendered, (vi) issue and sell equity or debt securities in a public
offering, (vii) issue and sell any equity or debt securities in a private
placement (other than in connection with any Prohibited Transaction),
(viii) issue equity securities to equipment lessors, equipment vendors,
banks or similar lending institutions in connection with leases or loans, or in
connection with strategic commercial or licensing transactions, (ix) issue
securities in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reclassification or similar event by the Company and (x) issue shares of
Common Stock to the Investor under any other agreement entered into between the
Investor and the Company.  During the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall not enter into any Prohibited Transaction without the prior
written consent of the Investor, which consent may be withheld at the sole
discretion of the Investor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prohibited
Transaction” shall refer to the issuance by the Company of any “future
priced securities,” which shall mean the issuance of shares of Common Stock or
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock where the purchase, conversion or
exchange price for such Common Stock is determined using any floating
discount  or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the market
price of Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to any equity
line financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under
this Agreement, provided that any future issuance by the Company of (i) a
convertible security (“Convertible
Security”) that (A) contains provisions that adjust the conversion price
of such Convertible Security in the event of stock splits, dividends,
distributions, reclassifications or similar events or pursuant to anti-dilution
provisions or (B) is issued in connection with the Company obtaining debt
financing for research and development purposes where the issuance of
Convertible Securities is conditioned upon the Company meeting certain defined
clinical milestones, (ii) securities in a registered direct public offering
or an unregistered private placement where the price per share of such
securities is fixed concurrently with the execution of definitive documentation
relating to the offering or placement, as applicable and (iii) securities
issued in connection with a secured debt financing, shall not be a Prohibited
Transaction.

     

    Section 6.8.
Issuance of the
Company’s Common Stock. The sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be
made in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Regulation D or
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
law.

     

    Section 6.9. Market Activities.
The Company will not, directly or indirectly take any action designed to cause
or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute,
the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of the Common Stock or sell, bid for or purchase
the Common Stock, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the
Common Stock.

    Conditions
for Advance and Conditions to Closing

     

    Section 7.1.
Conditions Precedent
to the Obligations of the Company. The obligation hereunder of the
Company to issue and sell the shares of Common Stock to the Investor incident to
each Closing is subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Investor in
writing, at or before each such Closing, of each of the conditions set forth
below.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (a)   Accuracy of the Investor’s
Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the
Investor shall be true and correct in all material respects.

     

    (b)  Performance by the
Investor. The Investor shall have performed, satisfied and complied in
all respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied or
complied with by the Investor at or prior to such Closing.

     

    Section 7.2.
Conditions Precedent
to the Right of the Company to Deliver an Advance Notice. The right of
the Company to deliver an Advance Notice is subject to the fulfillment by the
Company, on such Advance Notice Date (a “Condition Satisfaction
Date”), of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived
in writing by the Investor:

     

    (a)  Registration of the Common
Stock with the SEC. The Company shall have filed with the SEC a
Registration Statement with respect to the resale of the Registrable Securities
in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement. As set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration
Statement shall have previously become effective and shall remain effective on
each Condition Satisfaction Date and (i) neither the Company nor the
Investor shall have received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue
a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the SEC
otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do
so (unless the SEC’s concerns have been addressed and the Investor is reasonably
satisfied that the SEC no longer is considering or intends to take such action),
and (ii) no other suspension of the use or withdrawal of the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or related prospectus shall exist. The
Registration Statement must have been declared effective by the SEC prior to the
first Advance Notice Date.

     

    (b)  Authority. The
Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any
applicable state in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement for the
offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock, or shall have the availability of
exemptions therefrom. The sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock shall
be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is
subject.

     

    (c)  Fundamental Changes.
There shall not exist any fundamental changes to the information set forth in
the Registration Statement which would require the Company to file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.

     

    (d)  Performance by the
Company. The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all
material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied or
complied with by the Company at or prior to each Condition Satisfaction
Date.

     

    (e)  No Injunction. No
statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall
have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental
authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and adversely
affects any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no
proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or
adversely affecting  any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

     

    (f)  No Suspension of Trading in
or Delisting of Common Stock. The Common Stock is trading or quoted on a
Principal Market. The trading of the Common Stock is not suspended by the SEC or
the Principal Market. The issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect to the
applicable Closing will not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the
Principal Market.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (g)  Maximum Advance Amount;
Floor Price. The amount of an Advance corresponding to the Advance Notice
shall not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. The Floor Price shall be 98% of the
average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days prior to
the Advance Notice Date (the “Floor Price”). In
addition to the Floor Price, the Company shall be able to set a hard Floor Price
for each Advance in the Advance Notice (the “Hard Floor
Price”).  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Investor and
the Company, for each day during the Pricing Period that the VWAP of the Common
Stock falls below the Floor Price, the Advance amount will be reduced by 40%. By
way of example, if the Advance amount is $500,000, and the VWAP of the Common
Stock falls below the Floor Price during the Pricing Period, then the Advance
amount would be reduced as follows depending on the number of Pricing Period
days that the VWAP of the Common Stock was below the Floor Price:  1
day below reduces the Advance amount to $300,000; 2 days below reduces the
Advance amount to $180,000; 3 days below reduces the Advance Amount to $108,000;
4 days below reduces the Advance Amount to $64,800; and 5 days below reduces the
Advance Amount to $38,880. If trading in the Company’s Common Stock is suspended
for any reason during trading hours on the Principal Market on any Trading Day
during a Pricing Period, the Advance Amount in respect of such Pricing Period
shall be reduced by one fifth of the initial Advance Amount specified in the
Advance Notice. In addition, if on any day during the Pricing Period, the VWAP
of the Common Stock falls below the Hard Floor Price, then, unless otherwise
agreed to by the parties in writing, the corresponding Advance shall be deemed
null and void, and the Investor and the Company shall have no further
obligations with respect to such Advance.  In addition, in no event
shall the number of shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Investor and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company (“Ownership
Limitation”). If the Floor Price Common Stock is less than twelve cents,
then no Advances shall be permitted. Any portion of an Advance that would cause
the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation shall automatically be
withdrawn. For the purposes of this section, beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. As required by
the Principal Market, until the Company obtains the requisite approval of its
shareholders in accordance with the corporate laws of the state of Delaware, no
more than 19.9% of the Company’s Common Stock (measured as of the date prior to
the date of this Agreement) may be issued and sold to Investor pursuant to this
Agreement.

     

    (h)  No Knowledge. The
Company has no knowledge of any event which would be more likely than not to
have the effect of causing such Registration Statement to be suspended or
otherwise ineffective at Closing.

     

    (i)  Executed Advance
Notice. The Investor shall have received the Advance Notice executed by
an officer of the Company and the representations contained in such Advance
Notice shall be true and correct as of each Condition Satisfaction
Date.

    Due
Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information

     

    Section 8.1.
Non-Disclosure of
Non-Public Information.

     

     (a)  Subject to Section 6.6
and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company shall refrain from disclosing, and shall cause its
officers, directors, employees and agents to refrain from disclosing, any
material non-public information to the Investor without also disseminating such
information to the public.

     

    (b) Nothing herein shall require
the Company to disclose material, non-public information to the Investor or its
advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it does not
disseminate material, non-public information to any investors who purchase stock
in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities analysts
in violation of Regulation FD of the Exchange Act, provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as
hereinabove provided and subject to compliance with Regulation FD, immediately
notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any,
underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any
obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes
aware, constituting material, non-public information (whether or not requested
of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by
such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements, therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 8.1 shall be
construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without
the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may
not obtain material, non-public information in the course of conducting due
diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein
shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their
opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the
Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits a
material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary
to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.

    Section 9.2.
Arbitration.  Any
dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise
relating to the parties relationship that cannot be settled by the Company and
the Investor after discussion shall be settled solely by arbitration. Any such
arbitration shall be fully and finally resolved in binding arbitration in a
proceeding in the State of New York, City of New York, in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator who is
a securities lawyer.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify
or change any of the terms of this Agreement.  The arbitrator may award
interim relief and grant specific performance in addition to monetary
damages.  The Company and the Investor further agree that no demand
for punitive or exemplary damages shall be made in any arbitration
proceeding.  Any monetary award shall be in U.S. dollars.  The
arbitrator's award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment
upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in any
state of the United States or country or application may be made to such court
for a judicial acceptance of the award and an enforcement as the law of such

    (a) Unless
earlier terminated as provided hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate
automatically on the earliest of (i) the first day of the month next

Section 10.2 shall be deemed to release the Company or the Investor from
any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of
the Company and the Investor to compel specific performance by the other party
of its obligations under this Agreement. The indemnification provisions
contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall survive termination
hereunder.

    Section 12.1.
Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other
party.

     

    Section 12.2.
Entire Agreement;
Amendments. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the
Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the
matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and
therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the
Company nor the Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to
be charged with enforcement.  The provisions of this agreement shall
be construed in favor of the Investor.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section 12.3.
Reporting Entity for
the Common Stock. The reporting entity relied upon for the determination
of the trading price or trading volume of the Common Stock on any given Trading
Day for the purposes of this Agreement shall be Bloomberg, L.P. or any successor

required to employ any other reporting entity.

     

    Section 12.4.
Fees and
Expenses. Each of the parties shall pay its own fees and expenses
(including the fees of any attorneys, accountants, appraisers or others engaged
by such party) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, except that the Company shall pay a Due Diligence Fee of
Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) to Investor. Company shall transfer to
Investor $80,000 worth of Common Stock (delivered electronically, and credited
to the account of Investor’s designated broker with The Depository Trust Company
through its DWAC system) on or prior to the first business day following the
Effective Date (“Commitment Shares”). The pricing for the Commitment Shares will
be based on the average closing price for the 10 trading days preceding the date
of this Agreement.

     

    Section
12.5. Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect without said provision; provided that, if the severance
of such provision materially changes the economic benefits of this Agreement to
either party as such benefits are anticipated as of the date hereof, then such
party may terminate this Agreement on five (5) business days prior written
notice to the other party.

     

    Section 12.6.
Confidentiality. If
for any reason the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not
consummated, each of the parties hereto shall keep confidential any information
obtained from any other party (except information publicly available or in such
party’s domain prior to the date hereof, and except as required by court order)
and shall promptly return to the other parties all schedules, documents,
instruments, work papers or other written information without retaining copies
thereof, previously furnished by it as a result of this Agreement or in
connection herein.

     

    Section
12.7. Publicity. The
Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise
make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no
prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which
such case the disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior notice
of such public statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of the Investor without the prior consent of the
Investor, except to the extent required by law. The Investor acknowledges that
this Agreement and all or part of the Reserve Equity Financing Documents may be
deemed to be "material contracts" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of
Regulation S-B, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such
documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act.  The Investor further agrees that the status of
such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by
the Company, in consultation with its counsel.

    WHEREAS:

     

    A.           In
connection with the Reserve Equity Financing Agreement by and between the
parties hereto of even date herewith (the “Reserve Equity Financing
Agreement”), the Investor has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Reserve Equity Financing Agreement, to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which
the Company may issue and sell pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Reserve Equity Financing Agreement. Capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Reserve Equity
Financing Agreement.

     

    B.           To
induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Reserve Equity Financing
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. “Registration Period”
means the period beginning on the date the Registration Statement(s) is declared
effective under the Securities Act and ending on the date on which all
Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement are sold or available
for sale under Rule 144(b) (or any successor provision thereto) without volume
limitation.

     

    d. “Registrable
Securities” means the shares of Common Stock issuable to Investors
pursuant to the Reserve Equity Financing Agreement.

     

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

     

    2. REGISTRATION.

     

    a. 
Filing of a
Registration Statement. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 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 Reserve Equity Financing Agreement. After a
Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall insure that the
Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statements remain in
effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, or may be sold
without volume restriction pursuant to Rule 144(b).

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    b. 
Sufficient Number of
Shares Registered. The Company shall use its best efforts to register the
maximum number of shares permissible by the SEC under SEC Rule 415 to cover
Registrable Securities under this Agreement; provided, however, that the parties
agree that the number of Registrable Securities covered by the initial
Registration Statement shall equal 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company
shall file additional Registration Statements as necessary if the parties
reasonably determine that such initial Registration Statement is reasonably
unlikely to cover all Registrable Securities under this Agreement.  If
any Registrable Securities must be excluded from the initial Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts at the first opportunity that
is permitted by the SEC to register for resale the Registrable Securities that
were excluded from begin registered on the initial Registration Statement and to
cause such new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof.

     

    3. RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.

     

    a. 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.

     

    b. 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.

     

    c. 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.

    d. 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.

     

    e. 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.

     

    f. The Company shall make
available to the Investor (and will deliver to Investor’s counsel),
(i) copies of any Registration Statement at least 3 business days prior to
filing thereof, and (ii) subject to restrictions imposed by the United States
federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, copies of all
public correspondence between the Commission and the Company concerning the
Registration Statement. The Company will make available for inspection by the
Investor and any attorney, accountant or other professional 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.

     

    g. 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.

    h. 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 a Primary Market. The Company shall pay all fees and
expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(h).

     

    i. 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.

     

    j. 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.

     

    k. 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.

     

    l. 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.

     

    m. Within
two (2) 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
..

     

    n. 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.

     

    a. 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(d), 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(d) 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 Reserve Equity Financing 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(d) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

     

    b. The Investor covenants and agrees
that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.

     

    c. The Company may require the Investor
to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and any affiliate thereof, and,
if required by the SEC, the natural persons thereof that have voting and
dispositive control over the shares.

     

    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 and all 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. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (x) 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 or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto;
(y) 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(e) or such Claim is based on the use by
Investor of any outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified
Investor in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective; and
(z) 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.

     

    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 Reserve
Equity Financing 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 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 business 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
communications shall be:

thereof.

     

    d.  All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Any dispute
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise relating to the parties relationship

their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against
any party.

    Attention:

     

    Re: Vertro, Inc.

     

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

     

    We are
counsel to Vertro, Inc.
(the “Company”), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Reserve Equity Financing
Agreement (the “Reserve Equity Financing
Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and AGS Capital
Group, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant
to which the Company issued to the Investor shares of its Common Stock, par
value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
Pursuant to the Reserve Equity Financing 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,
