In connection with the Executive's registration obligations

-3-
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the Filing
Date, a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or if the Company is not then
eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance with the
Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in accordance with the
method or methods of distribution thereof as specified by the Holders (except if
otherwise directed by the Holders), and use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided
herein; provided, however, that not less than five (5) Business Days prior to
the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to the Holders
and any Special Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to
the review of such Holders and such Special Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers
and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond
to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Special
Counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Unless otherwise advised by outside counsel to the Company, the
Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities or any Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing
within three (3) Business Days of their receipt thereof.
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the
applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and
file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements as necessary in
order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable
Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by
any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated
under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible, but in no event
later than fifteen (15) Business Days, to any comments received from the
Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the
applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such
Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and any
Special Counsel as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not
less than five (5) days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such
Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day
following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the
Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such
Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such
Registration Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority
for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any
event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
-4-
(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if
issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the
Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required
filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon
as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
(f) Furnish to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without charge,
at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits
to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
Commission.
(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without
charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of
prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may
reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Holders and any Special Counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in
writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other
acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take
any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
-5-
(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all
restrictive legends (provided that the issuance of such unlegended certificates
is in compliance with applicable securities laws), and to enable such
Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names
as any Holder may request in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to any
sale of Registrable Securities.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
3(c)(vi), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities relating to the Registration Statement to be listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board or any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if
any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded
as and when required pursuant to the Notes.
(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security
holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 50 days after the end of any 3-month
period (or 100 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a
fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the
Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement
shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.
(m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the
Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such
Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable
Securities of any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information
within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise
is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in
force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the
time that such reference ceases to be required.
-6-
Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received
copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in
Section 3(g) and notice from the Executive that such Registration Statement and
any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by
Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement.
Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event
of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v),
3(c)(vi) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the
"Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the
Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably
determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant
business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose, then the Company may (x) postpone or suspend filing
of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 30 consecutive days or
(y) postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement for a period
not to exceed 20 consecutive days; provided that the Executive will use its best
efforts to ensure that the Company does not postpone or suspend effectiveness of
a registration statement under this Section 3(n) for more than 45 days in the
aggregate during any 360 day period; provided, however, that no such
postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive 20 day periods
arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.
4. Registration Expenses.
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance
with this Agreement by the Executive or the Company, except as and to the extent
specified in this Section 4, shall be borne by the Executive or the Company

Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall

5. Intentionally Omitted.
6. Rule 144.
As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Executive
shall use his best efforts to cause the Company to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders
with true and complete copies of all such filings. As long as any Holder owns
any Registrable Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Executive will use
his best efforts to cause the Company to prepare and furnish to the Holders and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the
Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a
discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance
substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included
in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as
any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings
would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Executive
further covenants to use his best efforts to cause the Company to take such
further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions
relating to such sale pursuant to Rule 144.
-8-
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Executive or by a
Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
Executive, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Executive and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate
compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any
action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The
Executive and the Purchasers agree that the Purchasers will suffer damages if
the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and
maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or
if certain other events occur. The Executive and the Holders further agree that
it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.
Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the
Filing Date, or (B) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, or (C) the Company fails to
file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461
promulgated under the Securities Act within three (3) Business Days of the date
that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the
Commission that a Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not subject
to further review, or (D) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared
effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all
Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness
Period, without being succeeded promptly by a subsequent Registration Statement
filed with and declared effective by the Commission, or (E) the Company has
breached Section 3(n), or (F) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or
if the Common Stock is delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board for any reason for
more than three (3) Business Days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) the
date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (C) the date on which
such three Business Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (D) after
more than fifteen Business Days, or for purposes of clause (F) the date on which
such three Business Day period is exceeded, being referred to as "Event Date"),
the Executive shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Holder equal to
two percent (2%) per calendar month or portion thereof of the Holder's initial
investment in the Notes from the Event Date until the applicable Event is cured;
provided, that, liquidated damages upon the occurrence of an Event shall be
payable at the Executive's option in cash or shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), if (i) any of
the Events described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) shall have occurred, (II) on or
prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall have exercised its rights
under Section 3(n) hereof and (III) the postponement or suspension permitted
pursuant to such Section 3(n) shall remain effective as of such applicable Event
Date, then the applicable Event Date shall be deemed instead to occur on the
second Business Day following the termination of such postponement or
suspension. If the Executive elects to pay in shares of Common Stock, the number
of such shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holders pursuant to this
paragraph (e) shall be based on the liquidated damage amount divided by the
average of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten
(10) trading days prior to such Event Date and shall be issuable promptly upon
receipt by the Executive of a written demand from a Holder made on or after the
Event Date.
-9-
(e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Executive and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
outstanding.
(f) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing

hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder. Each Purchaser may
assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under
this Agreement or the Notes.
-10-
(h) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder
hereunder, including the right to have the Executive use its best efforts to
cause the Company to register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, shall be assignable by each Holder to any
Affiliate of such Holder or any other Holder or Affiliate of any other Holder of

such agreement is furnished to the Executive or the Company within a reasonable

requirements of the Notes. In addition, each Holder shall have the right to
assign its rights hereunder to any other Person with the prior written consent
of the Executive, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights
to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and
assigns.
(i) Reverse Stock Split. The Executive shall use its best efforts to
cause the Company to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock within one
hundred eighty (180) days of the date of this Agreement at the appropriate ratio
to effectuate a price of at least $1.00 per share.
(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original

not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing
this Agreement to be drafted.

this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any
respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set

reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
