(a) The Company shall be required to file a Registration Statement on or prior to each Filing Date until all of the Registrable Securities are registered for resale by the Investors and the Placement Agent as selling stockholders thereunder. On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act the resale of all, or such portion as permitted by SEC Guidance (provided that, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities as permitted by SEC Guidance), of the Registrable Securities by, and for the account of, the Investors and the Placement Agent as selling stockholders thereunder, that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. No other securities shall be included in the Initial Registration Statement that is filed except for the Registrable Securities and the securities listed in Exhibit C hereto (“Exhibit C Securities”). Each Registration Statement shall contain a “Plan of Distribution” section reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof and will use commercially reasonable efforts in this regard.

(b) The Company shall be required to keep a Registration Statement effective until such date that is the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors as selling stockholders thereunder may sell all of the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereon without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the date when all of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder shall have been sold (such date is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Registration Termination Date”). Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such

Registration Statement and the Investors shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities registered for resale thereon pursuant to the respective Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto). The Company acknowledges that the Company’s former status as a “shell company” and its ongoing requirement, under current Rule 144, to be current in its SEC periodic filings for 12 months prior to any Rule 144 sale is a continual “restriction” pursuant to Rule 144 for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities and Exhibit C Securities to be registered in the Initial Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities and Exhibit C Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Majority Holders, the number of Registrable Securities and Exhibit C Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by the Placement Agent Warrant Shares, second by the Exhibit C Securities (applied, in the case that some Exhibit C Securities may be registered, to such holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Exhibit C Securities held by such persons on a fully diluted basis), third to the Registrable Securities represented by Underlying Shares (applied, in the case that some Underlying Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Underlying Shares held by such Investors on a fully diluted basis), and fourth by Registrable Securities represented by Purchased Shares (applied, in the case that some Purchased Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Purchased Shares held by such Investors).

(d) If during the Effectiveness Period, subject to Section 3(a), the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds the number of Registrable Securities then registered for resale in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable and in accordance with SEC Guidance, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Investors of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities that are not then registered. The Company shall have right to include the securities listed in Exhibit D hereto (“Exhibit D Securities”) in any additional Registration Statement that is filed. If any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities, Exhibit C Securities and/or Exhibit D Securities to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of such securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Majority Holders, the number of Registrable Securities, Exhibit C Securities and Exhibit D Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced on a share for share basis among the Exhibit D Securities, Exhibit C Securities, Registrable Securities represented by the Placement Agent Warrant Shares and Registrable Securities represented by Underlying Shares and second by Registrable Securities represented by Purchased Shares (applied, in the case that some Purchased Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Purchased Shares held by such Investors).

4. NOTIFICATIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS; PROSPECTUSES.

The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within two (2) Trading Days, after a Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Securities covered thereby. Failure to notify the Investors in accordance with this Section 4(b) shall be deemed an Event under Section 4(a).

5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the Company’s obligation under Section 3 hereof to file a Registration Statement with the SEC and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement to become effective, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(b) Furnish to the selling Investors such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents (including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 5(a) above) as the selling Investors may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such selling Investors’ Registrable Securities;

(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such states as shall be reasonably appropriate in the opinion of the Company, 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, and provided further that (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary with respect to the bearing of expenses) if any jurisdiction in which any of such Registrable Securities shall be qualified shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification therein of any such Registrable Securities be borne by the

selling Investors, then the selling Investors shall, to the extent required by such jurisdiction, pay their pro rata share of such qualification expenses.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 3 hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in the United States, and (ii) if such an order or suspension is issued, obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest practicable moment and notify each holder of Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding such purpose.

(f) The Company shall (i) comply with all requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. with regard to the issuance of the Purchased Shares and the listing thereof on the OTC Bulletin Board and such other securities exchange or automated quotation system, as applicable, and (ii) engage a transfer agent and registrar to maintain the Company’s stock ledger for all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement.

(g) The Company will notify the Investors of any pending proceeding against the Company under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Registrable Securities.

Each Investor shall promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information furnished to the Company.

In addition, the Company shall also reimburse the Placement Agent for the fees and disbursements of its counsel in connection with its filings with NASD Rule 2710 that are required with respect to the Placement Agent’s participation in the public offering with respect to the Registration Statement.

8. DELAY OF REGISTRATION. The Investors shall not take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy which might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Investor, and each officer and director of such selling Investor and each person, if any, who controls such selling Investor, within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they 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 (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, 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 (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf; and will reimburse such selling Investor, or such officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(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, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection with a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with a Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus by the selling Investors or (ii) at any time when the Company has advised the Investor in writing that the Company does not meet the conditions for use of Rule 172 and as a result that the Investor is required to deliver a current prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission in a prospectus that is (whether preliminary or final) corrected in any subsequent amendment or supplement to such prospectus that was delivered to the selling Investor before the pertinent sale or sales by the selling Investor.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Investor will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed a Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, 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, in each case to the extent and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (i) was made in a Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the selling Investor expressly for use in connection with a Registration Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or (ii) at any time when the Company has advised the Investor in writing that the Company does not meet the conditions for use of Rule 172 and as a result that the Investor is required to deliver a current prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities, was corrected in any subsequent amendment or supplement to such prospectus that was delivered to the selling Investor before the pertinent sale or sales by the selling Investor; and such selling Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or other selling Investor in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided , however , that the liability of each selling Investor hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) received by such selling Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such liability, and provided , further , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(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 those selling Investor(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnifying party or indemnifying parties, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying person’s ability to defend such action). In the event that the indemnifying party assumes any such defense, the indemnified party may participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel and one local counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such

action in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to settle any claim, suit or proceeding unless in connection with such settlement the indemnified party receives an unconditional release with respect to the subject matter of such claim, suit or proceeding and such settlement does not contain any admission of fault by the indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investors’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates and not joint. In no event shall the contribution obligation of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 9 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

(f) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 9, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in a Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

10. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities

registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Investor owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish in writing upon such Investor’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Investor a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration and (iv) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of the use of Rule 144.

11. SUSPENSION. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of a Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) 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 of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in a Registration Statement or related prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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; or (v) that the Board has made the good faith determination (A) that continued use by the selling Investors of a Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act, premature disclosure in a Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company, its business or prospects or any proposed material transaction involving the Company, (B) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to the Company, its business or prospects or any such proposed material transaction or would make the successful consummation by the Company of any such material transaction significantly less likely and (C) that it is therefore essential to suspend the use by the Investors of such Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, then the Company shall furnish to the selling Investors a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company setting forth one or more of the above described circumstances, and the right of the selling Investors to use a Registration Statement (and the prospectus relating thereto) shall be suspended for a period (the “Suspension Period”) of not more than forty-five (45) days after delivery by the Company of the certificate referred to above in this Section 11; provided that the Company shall be entitled to no more than two such Suspension Periods during the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Final Closing and during each subsequent twelve (12) month period until the Mandatory Registration Termination Date (including any extension thereto). During the Suspension Period, none of the Investors shall offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to or in reliance upon a Registration Statement (or the prospectus relating thereto) and each of the Investors shall keep the fact of the above described certificate and its contents confidential. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate any Suspension Period as promptly as practicable.

12. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. An Investor may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more persons its rights hereunder in connection with the transfer of

Registrable Securities by such Investor to such person, provided that such Investor complies with all laws applicable thereto and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected and, provided, further that such person agrees to become a party to, and bound by, all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement by duly executing and delivering to the Company an Instrument of Adherence in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto.

13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
