4. Registration
Rights.
4.1 Demand
Registration.
4.1.1 Grant of Right. The
Company, upon written demand (a "Demand Notice") of the Holder(s) of at least
51% of the Purchase Options and/or the underlying Shares ("Majority Holders"),
agrees to register, on one occasion, all or any portion of the Shares underlying
the Purchase Options (collectively the "Registrable Securities"). On such
occasion, the Company will file a registration statement with the SEC covering
the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand
Notice and use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement
declared effective promptly thereafter, subject to compliance with review by the
SEC; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a
Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to
which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the
offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration
statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the
Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been
withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The
demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of four (4)
years beginning one (1) year from the Closing Date. The Company covenants and
agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any
Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Purchase Options and/or the
Registrable Securities within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any
such Demand Notice.
4.1.2 Terms. The Company
shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.1, but the Holders shall pay any
and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected
by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable
Securities. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register
the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the
Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to
register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would
cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in
such State or submit to general service of process in such State, or (ii) the
principal shareholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of
capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement
filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 4.1.1 to remain
effective for a period of at least twelve consecutive months from the date that
the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
are first given the opportunity to sell all of suchsecurities. The Holders shall
only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the shares covered by
such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus
furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus
may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or
omission.
4.2 "Piggy-Back"
Registration.
4.2.1 Grant of Right. In
addition to the demand right of registration, described in Section 4.1 hereof
the Holder shall have the right, for a period of four (4) years commencing
one(1) year from the Closing Date, to include the Registrable Securities as part
of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in
connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145 (a) promulgated under the
Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if,
solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering for the
account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its
reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such
underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is
necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated
to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder requested inclusion
hereunder as the underwriter shall reasonably permit. Any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to
include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable
Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the
Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has
first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled
to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not
entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities.
4.2.2 Terms. The Company
shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof, but the Holders shall pay any and
all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by
the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable
Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall
furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less
than thirty (30) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of
such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be
given for each registration statement filed by the Company until such time as
all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of
the Registrable Securities shall exercise the "piggy-back" rights provided for
herein by giving written. notice, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the
Company's notice of its intention to file a registration statement.
4.3 General
Terms.
4.3.1 Indemnification. The
Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold
pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), against
all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may
become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such
registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as
the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters contained in Section 5.1 of the Underwriting Agreement between the
Underwriters and the Company, dated as of [_________________]. The Holder(s) of
the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement,
and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify
the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including
all reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in

they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors
or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to

5.2 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed
to indemnify the Company.

requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Purchase Options prior to or after the
initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness
thereof.

the foregoing offerings and to each underwriter of any such offering, if any, a

such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten
public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting

on the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement,
in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of
such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel
and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public
offerings of securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to each Holder
participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda
described below and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all
correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all
memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the
registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such
investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably
necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such
investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and
opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and
independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times
as any such Holder shall reasonably request.

Agreement. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with
the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable
Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 4, which managing

underwritten sale of their Registrable Securities and may, at their option,
require that any or all the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Company to or for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for
the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any

underwriters except as they may relate to such Holders, their Shares and their
intended methods of distribution.

Holder(s). Each of the Holder(s) participating in any of the foregoing

provisions, the Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief
available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other
equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such
provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of

security.

Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase
Option may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the

Option for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment
form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if
exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, the Company shall cause to be
delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Option of like tenor to
this Purchase Option in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the
Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this
Purchase Option has not been exercised or assigned.
5.2 Lost Certificate.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Option and of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver
a new Purchase Option of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Option
executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or
destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of
the Company.
6. Adjustments.
6.1 Adjustments to Exercise
Price and Number of Securities. The Exercise Price and the number of
Shares underlying the Purchase Option shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as hereinafter set forth:
6.1.1 Share Dividends; Split
Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section
6.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend
payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on
the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be
increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares, and the Exercise
Price shall be proportionately increased.
6.1.2 Aggregation of
Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of
Section 6.3, the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a consolidation,
combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the
effective date thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
6.1.3 Replacement of Securities
upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or
reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section
6.1.1 or 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in
the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share
reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
the Holder of this Purchase Option shall have the right thereafter (until the
expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Option) to receive upon the
exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder
immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification,
reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon
a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of
Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Option
immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a
change in Shares covered by Section 6.1.1 or 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall
be made pursuant to Sections 6.1.1, 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3. The provisions
of this Section 6.1.3 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
reorganizations, share reconstructions or amalgamations, or consolidations,
sales or other transfers.
6.1.4 Changes in Form of Purchase
Option. This form of Purchase Option need not be changed because of any
change pursuant to this Section 6.1, and Purchase Options issued after such
change may state the same Exercise Price and the same number of Shares as are
stated in the Purchase Options initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The
acceptance by any Holder of the issuance of new Purchase Options reflecting a
required or permissive change shall not be deemed to waive any rights to an
adjustment occurring after the Commencement Date or the computation
thereof.
6.2 Substitute Purchase
Option. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share
reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation
(other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does
not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the
corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation
shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Option providing
that the holder of each Purchase Option then outstanding or to be outstanding
shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase
Option) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Option, the kind and amount
of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number
of Shares of the Company for which such Purchase Option might have been
exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or
amalgamation, sale or transfer. Such supplemental Purchase Option shall provide
for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided for in this
Section 6. The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations or share reconstructions or
amalgamations.
6.3 Elimination of Fractional
Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of Shares upon the exercise of the Purchase Option, nor
shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of any fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests
shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up or down, as the case may be, to
the nearest whole number of Shares or other securities, properties or
rights.
7. Reservation and
Listing. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the
Purchase Options, such number of Shares or other securities, properties or
rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof. The Company covenants and
agrees that, upon exercise of the Purchase Options and payment of the Exercise
Price therefore, in accordance with the terms hereby, all Shares and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder.
The Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Purchase
Options and payment of the exercise price therefore, all Shares and other
securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder.
As long as the Purchase Options shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Purchase Options to be listed (subject to official notice of issuance) on
all securities exchanges (or, if applicable on the Nasdaq Global Market, Capital
Market, OTC Bulletin Board or any successor trading market) on which the Shares
issued to the public in the Offering may then be listed and/or
quoted.

of the Purchase Options and their exercise, any of the events described in
