Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 (except if the Company

Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than

to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable
Securities have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be sold

Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission by the Effectiveness Date; or (iii) after the Registration Statement
is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration
Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all
Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to
the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately
by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a
period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year or more than
20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the
date the Registration Statement is declared effective); (any such failure or
breach being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii)
the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date
which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded,
or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day
period is exceeded, being referred to as "Event Date"), then until the
applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in
cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% for each thirty
(30) day period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the aggregate
amount invested by such Investor. While such Event continues, such liquidated
damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days. Any unpaid
liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company
shall be paid within three (3) days following the date on which such Event has
been cured by the Company.
(c) The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection
with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with
respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 for each Investor,
including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees,
printer's fees, accounting fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to
Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Investors.
1.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required under this Section 1 to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the
request of the Investors of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period
which shall end the earlier of when (i) all Registrable Securities have been
sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be sold immediately without
registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant
to Rule 144(k);
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
3
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them (provided
that the Company would not be required to print such prospectuses if readily
available to Investors from any electronic service, such as on the XXXXX filing
database maintained at xxx.xxx.xxx);
(d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities' or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Investors; provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions;
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering (each Investor
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement);
(f) Notify each Investor of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing;
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed; and
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.
1.4 FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
Company's obligations to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect
to the Registrable Securities of any selling Investor that such Investor shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Investor, the Registrable
Securities held by such Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required by the Company or the managing underwriters, if
any, to effect the registration of such Investor's Registrable Securities.
1.5 DELAY OF REGISTRATION. No Investor shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
1.6 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act)
for such Investor and each person, if any, who controls such Investor or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which
4
any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively, a "VIOLATION"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto (collectively, the "FILINGS"), (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Filings a material fact required to
be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law; and the Company will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Investor,
underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Investor will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has
signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Investor
selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of
any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
securities law insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are 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 by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Investor will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.6(b) in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.6(b)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.6(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Investor.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
1.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.6, 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 the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party
5
(together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 1.6, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.6.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 1.6(a) and (b) is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, claim, damage or expense referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall any Investor
be required to contribute an amount in excess of the gross proceeds from the
offering received by such Investor.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement
shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Investors under this Section
1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.7 REPORTS UNDER SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission, including Rule
144, that may at any time permit an Investor to sell securities of the Company
to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form SB-2,
the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days after
the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for
the offering of its securities to the general public;
6
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the
Investors to utilize Form SB-2 for the sale of their Registrable Securities,
such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year
in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering
of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
(c) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(d) furnish to any Investor, so long as the Investor owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any
time after ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to Form SB-2 (at any time after it so qualifies), (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 in availing any Investor of any rule or regulation of
the Commission that permits the selling of any such securities without
registration or pursuant to such form.
1.8 TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be
transferred or assigned, but only with all related obligations, by a Investor to
a transferee or assignee who (a) acquires at least 50,000 shares (subject to
appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations) of
Registrable Securities from such transferring Investor or (b) holds Registrable
Securities immediately prior to such transfer or assignment; provided that in
the case of (a), (i) prior to such transfer or assignment, the Company is
furnished with written notice stating the name and address of such transferee or
assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned, (ii) such transferee or assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.9 and (iii)
such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following
such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.
1.9 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. Each Investor hereby agrees that it will
not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the
period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company's
initial underwritten public offering and ending on the date specified by the
Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) calendar days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to
sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company, including
(without limitation) shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter
7
acquired) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of
any securities of the Company, including (without limitation) shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), whether any such
transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery
of securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing covenants shall apply only to
the Company's initial underwritten public offering of equity securities, shall
not apply to the sale of any shares by a Investor to an underwriter pursuant to
an underwriting agreement and shall only be applicable to the Investors if all
the Company's executive officers, directors and greater than five percent (5%)
stockholders enter into similar agreements. Each Investor agrees to execute an
agreement(s) reflecting (i) and (ii) above as may be requested by the managing
underwriters at the time of the initial underwritten public offering, and
further agrees that the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with its
transfer agent in order to enforce the covenants in (i) and (ii) above. The
underwriters in connection with the Company's initial underwritten public
offering are intended third party beneficiaries of the covenants in this Section
1.9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce such covenants as
though they were a party hereto.
2. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY TO THE INVESTORS.
2.1 INFORMATION RIGHTS. The Company shall deliver to each Investor who
holds (and continues to hold) at least 50,000 shares of Conversion Stock

and progress of the Company's business in an Investor's reports to its
affiliates.

represented by a certificate carrying the Legend.
4. MISCELLANEOUS.
