Related to Incidental Registration Obligations

• Registration Obligations The Company expressly agrees to register, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the shares of common stock underlying the options issued herein in a registration statement on Form S-8, if and when available (and all related qualifications under the state securities laws.

• Incidental Registration Rights (a) If the Company, for a period of six (6) years commencing one (1) year after the Base Date, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares other than Registrable Securities (any shares of such holder or holders (but not those of the Company and not Registrable Securities) with respect to any registration are referred to herein as, “Other Shares”), the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. The holders of Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder). Except as set forth in Section 8.3(b), the Company will use its Reasonable Commercial Efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8.3.

• Incidental Registrations If at any time prior to the date on which the Registration statement becomes effective, JAKKS shall file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with an acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then JAKKS shall send to each Shareholder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, any Shareholder shall so request in writing, JAKKS shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such Shareholder requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall 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 JAKKS shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which such Shareholder has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Shareholders seeking to include Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Shareholders; provided, however, that JAKKS shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless JAKKS 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; and provided, further, however, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration Statement. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2 shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2.1 hereof. If an offering in connection with which a Shareholder is entitled to registration under this Section 2.2 is an underwritten offering, then each Shareholder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by JAKKS, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering.

• Incidental Registration If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6) proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other securityholders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time the Company will give written notice to all Holders of outstanding Restricted Stock of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any such Holder received by the Company within 30 days of the giving of any such notice by the Company to register any of such Holder's Restricted Stock (which request shall state the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the Holder (in accordance with such Holder's written request) of such Restricted Stock so registered. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company or the requesting party therein or that such reduction is otherwise advisable, provided, however, that after any shares to be sold by holders that do not have contractual rights to have shares included in such registration have been excluded, shares to be sold by the Holders shall be excluded in such manner that the shares to be excluded shall first be the shares of selling Holders and other requesting holders who, in each case, are not Affiliate Holders and whose shares are then saleable under Rule 144(e) or Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and then pro rata among them, and if further reduction is necessary, shall next be pro rata among the remaining shares of the selling Holders and other requesting holders who are Affiliate Holders or whose shares are not then saleable under Rule 144(e) or Rule 144(k), unless such registration is pursuant to the exercise of a demand right of another securityholder, in which event such securityholder shall be entitled to include all shares it desires to have so included before any shares of Restricted Stock or shares of any other holder are included therein and provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in respect of the first underwritten public offering following the date of this Agreement, no reduction shall reduce the number of shares which may be sold by requesting Holders to less than 25% of the shares to be sold in such offering.

• Registration Obligation The Company anticipates filing with the SEC on or before June 1, 2000 a registration statement covering, among other securities, the Registrable Securities in the manner described in Section 3 hereof. Should the Company not file such a registration statement on or before June 1, 2000, then the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC on or before June 15, 2000 a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities in the manner described in Section 4 hereof and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter.

• Priority in Incidental Registrations If (i) a registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 involves an underwritten offering of the securities so being registered, whether or not for sale for the account of the Company, to be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for such a transaction and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall inform the Company and holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the distribution of all or a specified number of such Registrable Securities concurrently with the securities being distributed by such underwriters would interfere with the successful marketing of the securities being distributed by such underwriters (such writing to state the basis of such belief and the approximate number of such Registrable Securities which may be distributed without such effect), then the Company may, upon written notice to all holders of such Registrable Securities and to holders of such other securities so requested to be included, exclude from such underwritten offering (if and to the extent stated by such managing underwriter to be necessary to eliminate such effect) (i) first, the number of such Registrable Securities so requested to be included in the registration pro rata among such holders on the basis of the number of such securities requested to be included by such holders and (ii) second, shares of such other securities so requested to be included by the holders of such other securities, so that the resultant aggregate number of such Registrable Securities and of such other shares of securities so requested to be included which are included in such underwritten offering shall be equal to the approximate number of shares stated in such managing underwriter’s letter.

• Additional Registration Rights If Issuer at any time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer will promptly give written notice to Grantee of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of any Selling Stockholder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be included in such underwritten public offering by the Selling Stockholder), Issuer will cause all such shares for which a Selling Stockholder requests participation in such registration to be so registered and included in such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such shares to be so registered (i) if in the reasonable good faith opinion of the underwriters for such offering, the inclusion of all such shares by the Selling Stockholder would materially interfere with the marketing of such offering (in which case Issuer shall register as many shares as possible without materially interfering with the marketing of the offering), or (ii) in the case of a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on Form S-4 of the Securities Act or any successor Form. If some but not all the shares of Issuer Common Stock with respect to which Issuer shall have received requests for registration pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among the Selling Stockholders desiring to register their shares pro rata in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of shares requested to be registered by all such Selling Stockholders then desiring to have Issuer Common Stock registered for sale.

• Priority in Incidental Registration If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering (on a firm commitment basis), and the sole or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without materially adversely affecting the price at which the securities being offered can be sold and/or their ability to successfully market and sell the securities being offered (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of such securities which may be included in such offering without such effect), the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be included in such offering without such effect, (i) in the case of a registration initiated by the Company, (A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, (B) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any other stockholders having contractual rights to participate in such registration, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, and (C) third, other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person, and (ii) in the case of a registration initiated by a Person other than the Company, (A) first, the securities requested to be included in such registration by any Persons initiating such registration, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, (B) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any other stockholders having contractual rights to participate in such registration, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, (C) third, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, and (D) fourth, other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person; provided, however, that in the event the Company will not, by virtue of this Section 2.3(b), include in any such registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requested to be included in such registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within three days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration.

• Additional Registrable Securities Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor and the Target Holders.

• Registration Matters i. The Company has filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-210760) including a related prospectus, for the registration of the Preferred Stock, the Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), the Warrants, the Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), and the Placement Agent Securities under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”). The registration statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission. The “Registration Statement,” as of any time, means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto to such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time under the Securities Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) or Rule 430B under the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”); provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Securities, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with respect to the Securities within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant the Securities Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to the Rule 430A or Rule 430B. Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act Regulations is hereinafter called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The prospectus set forth in the Registration Statement in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Placement Agent by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act), is hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Prospectus,” and the term “
