and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the
Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1
or SB-2 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for
resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or SB-2, in which case
such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
herewith). The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become
effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall
use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the 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
the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial
efforts 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 immediately without registration under the
Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k),
as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written
opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the
Company's transfer agent and the affected Holders the "Effectiveness
Period").
148.2 If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or
prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (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); or (iv) at any time after the Trading Market Date, the
Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on
any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days
(provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading
suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common
Stock on another Trading Market); (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 Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, equal to 2.0% for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for
partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of
the Note. 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.
148.3 Within three business days of the Effectiveness Date,
the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating that
the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can
be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the
Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with
the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not
advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has
been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section
2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set
forth above.
149. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required
by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
149.1 prepare and file with the Commission the Registration
Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as
promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and
use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and
remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and
promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission
letters of comment relating thereto;
149.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and to
keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the
Effectiveness Period;
149.3 furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including
each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to
facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement;
149.4 use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or
qualify the Purchaser's Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably
request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a
foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or
to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
149.5 list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the
Company is then listed;
149.6 immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a
Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has
knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained 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 light of the circumstances then existing; and
149.7 make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all
publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the
attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.
150. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company's
compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with
state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one
counsel for the Holders (to the extent such counsel is required due to Company's
failure to meet any of its obligations hereunder), are called "Registration
Expenses". All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable
Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the
Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called "Selling
Expenses." The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.
151. Indemnification.
151.1 In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Purchaser, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable
Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such
person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will
not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the
Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any
such document.
151.2 In the event of a registration of the Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was
furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use
in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement
under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus
or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will
reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided,
however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser
specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to
indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate
net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable
Securities in connection with any such registration under the
Securities Act.
151.3 Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim
indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim
for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party
hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an "Indemnifying
Party"), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than
under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if
and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action 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
participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to
such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such
Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then
the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such
counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the
interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict
with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such
legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such
action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel
and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by
the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
151.4 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in
which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling
person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal)
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities
Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer,
director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for
which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in
each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be
subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the
Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the
percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by
the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however,
that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all
such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement;
and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) will be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
152. Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
152.1 On and after the Trading Market Date, the Common Stock of
the Company shall be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of
the Exchange Act
152.2 On and after the Trading Market Date, the Common Stock
shall be traded on a Trading Market and the Common Stock shall satisfy
all requirements for the continuation of such trading.
152.3 Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any
person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made
any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security (other than the concurrent offering made pursuant to the
Laurus Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements
referred to therein) under circumstances that would cause the offering
of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the
Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common
Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable
exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company
or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that
would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other
offerings.
152.4 The Option, the Warrant, the Note and the shares of Common
Stock which the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the Option, the
Warrant and the Note are all restricted securities under the Securities
Act as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any
stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of
any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable
Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from
registration is available, except as required by federal or state
securities laws or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement.
152.5 The Company understands the nature of the Registrable
Securities issuable upon the conversion of the Note and the exercise of
the Warrant and the Option and recognizes that the issuance of such
Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The
Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the
Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other shareholders of the Company.
152.6 Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of
business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the
Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach
of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse
effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or
otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect.
152.7 On and after the Trading Market Date, the Company will at
all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock for the full conversion of the Note and exercise of the
Warrant and the Option.
153. Miscellaneous.
153.1 Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a
Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement,
each Holder or the Company, 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.
153.2 No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent
specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto or with respect to any shares issued
to any underwriter, neither the Company nor any of its security holders
(other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include
securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the
Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof
enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of
shares in the Registration Statement to any of its security holders.
Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the
Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any
registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person
that have not been fully satisfied.
153.3 Compliance. Each Holder 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.
153.4 Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its
acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a
notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event
(as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration
Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented
Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement 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. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce
the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of this Section 7(d), a
"Discontinuation Event" shall mean (i) 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 (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof
and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement
or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable
Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv)
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/or
(v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible
for inclusion therein or any statement made in such 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 such Registration Statement, Prospectus
or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement
or 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
153.5 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the
Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement
covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall
determine to prepare and 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 (each as promulgated under the Securities
Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be
issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or
business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each
Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days
after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in
writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all
or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be
registered to the extent the Company may do so without violating
registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this
Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all
holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required
the consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such
registration statement.
153.6 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 Company and the Holders of the
then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect
to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders
and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;
provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be
amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

7(j), any and all disputes, controversies and claims that the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries may assert against the Purchaser arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or
any other Related Agreement shall be determined exclusively by
arbitration (each such arbitration, an "Arbitration") in New York City
before a panel of three neutral arbitrators agreed to by the Purchaser
and the Company (collectively, the "Arbitrators") in accordance with
and pursuant to the then existing commercial arbitration rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The Company (on its behalf and on
behalf of its Subsidiaries) hereby irrevocably waives any right to
assert such claims in any other forum. The Arbitrators shall have the
power in their discretion to award specific performance or injunctive
relief (but shall not have the power to render any incidental, special
or punitive damages) and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses to any
party in any arbitration. The Arbitrators may not change, modify or
alter any express condition, term or provision of this Agreement, the
Securities Purchase Agreement or of any other Related Agreement nor
shall they have the power to render any award against the Purchaser
that would have such effect. Each Arbitration award shall be final and
binding upon the parties subject thereto and judgment may be entered
thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction. The service of any
notice, process, motion or other document in connection with an
Arbitration or for the enforcement of any Arbitration award may be made
in the same manner as communications may be given under Section 7(g)
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section
7(j) nor any other provision contained in this Agreement, the
Securities Purchase Agreement or in any Related Agreement shall limit
in any manner whatsoever the Purchaser's right to commence an action
against or in connection with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
their respective properties in any court of competent jurisdiction or
otherwise utilize judicial process in connection with or arising out of
the Purchaser's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the
Securities Purchase Agreement and/or any Related Agreement or otherwise
(any such action, a "Court Action"). Court Actions may be brought by
the Purchaser in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
and the Company (on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries)
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such state and federal
courts and irrevocably waives any claim or defense of inconvenient
forum or lack of personal jurisdiction in such forum or right of
removal or right to jury trial under any applicable law or decision or
otherwise. Service of any notice, process, motion or other document in
connection with a Court Action may be made in the same manner as
communications may be given under Section 7(g). In addition, the
Purchaser may serve process in any other manner permitted under
applicable law. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce
any provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement or
any other Related Agreement, then the prevailing party in such
Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
153.11 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
153.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set
forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way
be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their 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, provisions, covenants and
restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter
declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
153.13 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
the meaning hereof.

Re: Voxx Corporation Registration Statement on Form [S-1][SB-2]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel to Voxx Corporation, a Florida corporation (the "Company"),
we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the
resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the
"Selling Stockholders"), of an aggregate of [amount]shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock.
A Registration Statement on Form [S-1][SB-2] under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with respect to the resale of the Shares was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed
is the Prospectus dated [date]. We understand that the Shares are to be offered
and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.
Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at
any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion
that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new
certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the
Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend. We will advise
you if the registration statement is not available or effective at any point in
the future.
Very truly yours,
[Company counsel]
