Such payments shall be made as follows: (A) fifty percent (50%) of the Installment Payment shall be made in cash to the Sellers via wire transfer to the bank account designated by the Sellers pursuant to Sections 1.2(b), 1.3(b) and 1.4(b), as applicable, or to such other account as the Sellers may have designated by notice to Purchaser; and (B) fifty percent (50%) of the Installment Payment shall be made in Purchaser Shares priced at Fair Market Value (as defined below) per one share of Purchaser common stock, the entire number of such Shares shall be delivered to the Sellers in his name.

Within thirty (30) business days after delivery of the Formula Period Profits Statement pursuant to Section 1.8(b)(i), the Sellers shall in, a written notice to Purchaser, either accept the Formula Period Profits Statement and the calculation of the Fair Market Value of the Purchaser Shares or describe in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the Formula Period Profits Statement or such calculation, or both, and the reasons therefore, including pertinent calculations.

The computation or verification made by the accountant shall be final and binding upon the Parties and there shall be no right of appeal from such decision. If

the accountant determines that Purchaser’s calculation of the amount of the Installment Payment due the Sellers is “significantly less” than that which the accountant or accounting firm determines is actually due to the Sellers, then Purchaser shall pay the Sellers interest on any unpaid Installment Payment at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, commencing on the date that is seventy-five (75) days after the end of such Formula Period. For these purposes, “significantly less” shall mean an amount as calculated by Purchaser that is less than five (5%) or more of the amount that is determined to be due and owing the Sellers.

Section 6.11 Tax Matters.

(a)

Purchaser shall prepare and file or caused to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns for the LLC that are required to be filed after the Closing Date; provided , however , that with respect to any Tax Return that includes any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or with respect to the portion ending on the Closing Date of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) such date (each, a “ Pre-Closing Tax Period “), Sellers shall be permitted prior to filing to review and comment on all such Tax Returns and on any amended Tax Returns relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period which the Purchaser intends to file after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall make any revisions to such Tax returns that are reasonably requested by Sellers. In the event that the Purchaser refuses to make a revision to any Tax Return that is requested by Sellers, Sellers shall have the right prior to making any indemnity payment pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(vii) to request arbitration of the amount pursuant to the procedures set forth in Schedule 6.12, and the arbitrator shall reduce the indemnity payment to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled if and to the extent that the arbitrator determines the indemnity payment would otherwise be increased as a result of Purchaser’s refusal to make a revision to a Tax Return that was reasonably requested by Sellers. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.11 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes related to such Tax Returns. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information (in the case of the Sellers, in its possession as of the Closing Date to the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser) which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making themselves and their appropriate employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each of Sellers agrees (i) to retain (to the extent not previously delivered to Purchaser) all books and records in each of Seller’s possession as of the Closing Date with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the LLC relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into prior to the Closing Date with any Governmental Entity, and (ii) to give Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Purchaser so requests, to allow Purchaser to take possession of such books and records. Each of Sellers further agrees, upon request, to use its reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(b)

Purchaser will provide Sellers with prompt notice of any written inquiries, audits, examinations or proposed adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service

or any other Taxing Authority which relate to a limited liability company (“Tax Claim”) and which Tax Claim might result in an indemnity payment by Sellers under Section 9.2 hereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provisions in Section 9.2 except to the extent Sellers have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Sellers shall be entitled at their collective election and expense to control the resolution, disposition and settlement of any Tax Claim that Sellers collectively acknowledge will be indemnifiable in full pursuant to Section 9.2 if determined adversely (an “Indemnified Tax Claim”), using counsel collectively selected by Sellers; provided, however, that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Sellers shall not settle any Indemnified Tax Claim that Sellers have collectively elected to control without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Purchaser shall have the right to participate in all aspects of the defense of an Indemnified Tax Claim that Sellers have collectively elected to control and shall have the right, at its own expense, to employ its own counsel with respect to such Indemnified Tax Claim. Sellers shall endeavor in good faith and use reasonable efforts to advise Purchaser of all proceedings related to the contest of any Indemnified Tax Claim that Sellers have collectively elected to control, all action taken or proposed to be taken by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Indemnified Tax Claim and all action proposed to be taken collectively by Sellers with respect to such Indemnified Tax Claim. Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser if, in connection with any Indemnified Tax Claim that Sellers have collectively elected to control, any Taxing Authority proposes to make any assessment or adjustment with respect to Tax items of the LLC, which assessments or adjustments might not result in an indemnity payment by the Sellers under Section p.2. The LLC or Purchaser shall control all proceedings with respect to all Tax Claims other than Indemnified Tax Claims and with respect to Indemnified Tax Claims that Sellers have not collectively elected to control. If Sellers do not collectively elect to control an Indemnified Tax Claim, it shall nonetheless reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such Indemnified Tax Claim.

(c)

With respect to a Tax Claim that relates only in part to Taxes that Sellers acknowledges will be indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2 if determined adversely (“Joint Tax Claim”), Purchaser will endeavor in good faith and use reasonable efforts to advise Sellers of (A) all proceedings related to the contest of such Joint Tax Claim, (B) all action taken or proposed to be taken by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Joint Tax Claim, and (C) all actions proposed to be taken by Purchaser with respect to such Joint Tax Claim. Purchaser will permit Sellers reasonable opportunity to review the content of documentation, protests, memoranda of fact and law, briefs, and stipulations of fact relating solely to the indemnifiable portion of such Joint Tax Claim. Purchaser will consider in good xxxxx Xxxxxxx’ suggestions with respect to any Joint Tax Claim. Purchaser will not settle any portion of a Joint Tax Claim that would give rise to an indemnity payment by Sellers under Section 9.2 without the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e)

Materiality. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection with a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement included in this Agreement, and the amount of damages to be indemnified, shall be determined without regard to any “material”, “materiality” (or correlative meanings”) or “material adverse effect” qualifications, provisions or exceptions set forth in such representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement, each of which shall be deemed to be given for the purposes of this Section as though there were no such qualifications, provisions or exceptions.

Section 9.5 Limitation. The indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 8 shall be limited to all claims in excess of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000) (the “Threshold”). Once a claim exceeds the Threshold, if a Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article, such party shall recover all appropriate funds from the first dollar of damages. Further, the indemnitors shall not be liable for any liabilities resulting from claims that are covered by any insurance policy or other indemnity or contribution agreement unless, and only to the extent that, the full limit of such insurance policy, indemnity or contribution agreement has been exceeded. The party entitled to indemnification shall have a duty to mitigate its damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers’, on the one hand, and the Purchaser’s, on the other hand, obligation to indemnify under this Section 9 shall be limited to an amount equal to $15,000,000; provided however that such cap shall not be applicable to Sections 2.1, 2.4, 3.2, 3.3, 3.11, 3.16, 3.17, 3.28, 3.29, 3.31, 3.32, 3.33, 3.34, 4.1, 4.11, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.33, 4.35, 4.36 and 4.37.

by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

Section 9.7 Right of Offset. Purchaser shall have the right to offset against any Installment Payments due any amounts that Sellers owe Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the indemnification in this Section 9 of this Agreement.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS CONFIDENTIALITY; CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 10.1 Restrictive Covenants.

(a)

Restrictive Covenant. Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that during the time period commencing with the Closing and continuing for the immediately following five (5) years (the “Restricted Period”), none of the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates, shall, other than on behalf of ARM or the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, for himself, or on behalf of any other person (whether as an individual, agent, servant, employee, employer, officer, director/manager, shareholder/member, investor, principal, consultant or in any other capacity whatsoever) take any action or undertake any matter set forth in 10.1(a)(1)-(5) below.

(1)

Manage, operate or own directly or indirectly any physician practice, medical office, hospital, clinic or out-patient and/or ambulatory treatment or diagnostic facility which provides services similar to those provided by the Purchaser, LLC or ARM or any of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Protected Parties”) anywhere in the Territory, or become employed by, or serve as a health care consultant or in any other capacity to any person or entity which provides services similar to those provided by the Protected Parties anywhere in the Territory, or engage or participate in or finance, including without limitation, as a shareholder, partner, member, manager, director, officer, trustee, agent, lender, landlord or otherwise, any business which engages in a business, or provides services, that is substantially similar to the business being conducted by the Protected Parties, including without limitation, management or provider of health care services, anywhere in the Territory.

(2)

Solicit or engage in the solicitation of, or serve or accept any business from patients, insurance companies, managed care plans, employers or other customers of the business conducted, or the services provided, by the Protected Parties for services competitive with those of the Protected Parties, and their successors and assigns;

(3)

Request, induce or advise any patients, insurance companies, managed care plans, suppliers, vendors, employers or other customers of the business conducted by any of the Protected Parties to withdraw, curtail or cancel their business or other relationships with such Protected Party, or assist, induce, help or join any other Person in doing any of the above activities; or

(4)

Induce or attempt to influence any employee of any of the Protected Parties to terminate his or her employment with such Protected Party, or to hire, recruit or solicit any such employee, whether or not so induced or influenced;

provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way be interpreted to prohibit, and do not prohibit: (i) the Xxxxxxxx Seller’s and the Xxxxxx Seller’s ownership interest in ARM; (ii) any of the Sellers’ ownership interest in the LLC that remains after the Closing; (iii) any of the Sellers from performing pursuant to, and complying with, the terms of the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement for the LLC; (iv) the Xxxxxx Seller from performing pursuant to the Xxxxxx Seller’s Executive Employment Agreement with the LLC; (v) the Xxxxxxxx Seller from performing pursuant to his employment agreement with ARM; (vi) the Xxxxxx Seller from performing pursuant to his employment agreement with ARM; (vii) any of the Sellers, as applicable, from performing pursuant to, and complying with, any other documents entered into pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (viii) the Xxxxxx Seller or the Xxxxxxxx Seller from maintaining staff privileges at any hospital, ambulatory surgery center or other facility; (ix) the Xxxxxx Seller or the Xxxxxxxx Seller providing professional medical services and earning a professional fee thereon or receiving a salary or other compensation for the professional practice of medicine; or (x) the ownership of securities of corporations which are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount which shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any such corporation.

And provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) any Seller shall quit employment with the LLC (or ARM, as the case may be) after three (3) years following the date of Closing for any reason, or (b) the LLC (or ARM, as the case may be) shall terminate the employment of any Seller, then the Restrictive Covenant set forth above shall expire and be of no further effect as to such Seller one (1) year after the date that such Seller ceases to be an employee of the LLC or ARM.

“Territory” as used herein means the fifty (50) mile radius extending outward from ARM’s clinic locations as it may exist from time to time. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions of this covenant not to compete are excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, it is expressly agreed that this covenant not to compete shall be construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such over broad provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of any person, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction.

(b)

Consideration. The parties to this Agreement have carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions imposed by this Section 10.1 and the rights and remedies conferred upon the Purchaser hereunder and hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) the restricted territory, period, and activities are reasonable and are necessary and fully required to protect the legitimate business interests of the Purchaser; (ii) any violation of the terms of these restrictive covenants would have a substantial detrimental effect on PainCare’s and Subsidiary’s businesses; (iii) the

restrictive covenants do not stifle the Sellers’ inherent skill and experience; and (iv) would not operate as a bar to any of the Seller’s means of support. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to Purchaser as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenants, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to Purchaser for which it would have no other adequate remedy, each of the Sellers agrees that, in the event of a breach by him of the foregoing covenants, the covenants set forth in this Section 10.1 may be enforced by Purchaser by injunctions and restraining orders, in addition to all other available legal remedies.

Section 10.2 No Running of Covenant During Breach. The covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall apply for the applicable periods as set forth above. If the Sellers violate such covenants, and Purchaser or any of their successors and assigns bring a legal action for injunctive or other relief, such party bringing the action shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining the relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the covenant period, unless a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the covenant is not enforceable in whole or in part. Accordingly, for any time period that any of the Sellers is in violation of the covenant, such time period shall not be included in calculating the applicable time period of the covenant.

Section 10.3 Blue Pencil Doctrine. The covenants set forth in this Section 10 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

Section 10.4 Confidentiality. The Parties covenant and agree that, from and after the Execution Date, none of the Parties nor their Affiliates shall disclose, divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of another Party, or in any way use any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of another Party in the conduct of any business; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.4 will prohibit the disclosure of any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets of any Party which is required to be disclosed by another Party or any of its or his Affiliates in connection with any court action or any proceeding before any authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a disclosure contemplated by this Section 10.4, no disclosure shall be made until the disclosing Party shall give notice to the non-disclosing Party of the intention to disclose such Confidential Information or Trade Secrets so that the non-disclosing Party may contest the need for disclosure, and the disclosing Party will cooperate (and will cause its or his Affiliates and their respective representatives to cooperate) with the non-disclosing Party in connection with any such proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement which may be to the contrary, the foregoing provisions restricting the use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets shall survive the Closing for the time period equal to five (5) years from the Execution Date. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all records, files, reports, protocols, policies, manuals, databases, processes, procedures, computer systems, materials and other documents pertaining to the

operations of a Party and the term “Trade Secrets” shall mean information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process that: (i) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other Persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

Section 10.5 Additional Covenants of the Xxxxxx Seller. The Xxxxxx Seller acknowledges, represents and warrants that he is the sole shareholder of NMC and in such capacity has the full power and authority to control and direct the operation of NMC. In consideration for Purchaser purchasing the Xxxxxx Seller’s membership interests in the LLC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and for the LLC entering into the Executive Employment Agreement with the Xxxxxx Seller, the Xxxxxx Seller agrees that as of the Closing Date and continuing for the Restricted Period: (i) the Xxxxxx Seller will cause NMC to cease providing intraoperative neuromonitoring services of any nature; and (ii) the Xxxxxx Seller will provide his consulting services with respect to intraoperative neuromonitoring services exclusively to the LLC pursuant to the terms of the Xxxxxx Seller’s Executive Employment Agreement with the LLC; and (iii) other than pursuant to his employment agreement with, and ownership interest in, the LLC, the Xxxxxx Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as an employee, contractor, consultant, director, investor, owner, shareholder, member, partner or otherwise or whether individually or through a legal entity of any nature in any capacity, provide the technical component of the intraoperative nueromonitoring services or provide any management, consultant or other services of any nature related to intraoperative nueromonitoring services.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

SECTION 2.1.

(a) Demand Registration. At any time after the date hereof, on not more than one (1) occasion, the Holders of at least twenty-five (25%) of all the Registrable Securities may request that the Company register under the Securities Act all or a portion of the Registrable Securities held by such requesting Holders. A registration will not count as a requested registration under this Section 2.1 until the Registration Statement relating to such registration has been declared effective by the Commission at the request of the requesting Holders.

(b)

Following a request pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Company will notify the other Holders of Registrable Securities and such Holders of Registrable Securities shall then have twenty (20) days to notify the Company of its desire to participate in the registration. Thereupon, the Company will cause such of the Registrable Securities as may be requested by such Holders to be registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1 and Article 3 hereof. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Holders make a request pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above.

(c)

In addition to the Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company may include in any such Registration Statement any securities it deems advisable, in addition to the Registrable Securities.

SECTION 2.2.

(a) Piggy-Back Registration. If at any time after the date hereof the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective securities holders other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission) 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, or in a similar transaction, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the number of shares and the type of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and shall also state the firm intent of the Holder to offer Registrable Securities for sale) (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). With respect to the foregoing registration, the Company shall use its

Exhibit A-1

reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement or a distribution by any Underwriter pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw from such registration or distribution, as the case may be.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the Underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in such firm’s opinion, marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter or the Company may exclude the Registrable Securities in the same proportion, as nearly as practicable, to other selling shareholders of the Company or the Underwriter or the Company may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting to a specified percentage of the Registrable Securities to be distributed through the underwriting in the same proportion, as nearly as practicable, to other selling shareholders of the Company. The Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten under this subsection and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders who hold those securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in the registration held by such Holders at the time the registration statement is filed. Any Holder disapproving of the terms of any such underwriting may elect to withdraw from it by written notice to the Company and the Underwriter. The foregoing shall not be construed to impose a limitation on the number or percentage of Registrable Securities that may be sold by Stockholder by reason of another selling shareholder’s agreement that less than all of such other selling shareholder’s securities shall be registered, unless Stockholder is a party to such agreement.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Registrable Securities in a registration statement relating to an underwritten offering of the Company's securities unless the Holders selling Registrable Securities accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the Underwriters selected by it (provided such terms are usual and customary for selling Stockholder), including, without limitation, any Underwriter’s Cutback and/or Lockup, and the Stockholder agrees to promptly execute and/or deliver such documents in connection with such registration as the Company or the managing Underwriter may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Underwriter’s Cutback or Lockup shall restrict or prohibit sales of Registrable Securities or Securities held by Stockholder under and pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or pursuant to other private sales exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act unless such Stockholder otherwise agrees in writing.

Exhibit A-1

(d)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement shall not prohibit the sale or disposition of shares of the Company’s securities by the Holders pursuant to an isolated private sale or placement of such securities provided such sale or disposition is under and in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act or is otherwise in compliance with all applicable State and Federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

(e)

The Holders understand and agree that each certificate for its/his Securities shall bear the legend below in substantially the following form:

“These shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act, or any other state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available.”

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of the Company’s securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement. The Company shall not impose any pre-clearance or other restrictions on the sale or disposition of Securities other than under applicable securities laws or as agreed by Stockholder in an Underwriter’s Lockup.

ARTICLE 3.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

SECTION 3.1.

Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect or cause the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 2 hereof, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of such Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

(a)

The Company will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to the offer and sale of such securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective until the completion of the distribution contemplated thereby; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to keep such Registration Statement effective for more than twelve (12) months (or such shorter period which will terminate when all Securities covered by such Registration have been sold, but not prior to the expiration of the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable).

(b)

The Company will prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statements effective for as long as such registration is required to remain effective pursuant to the terms hereof; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be

Exhibit A-1

filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus.

(c)

The Company, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, will furnish to (i) each Selling Holder, (ii) not more than one counsel representing all Selling Holders (“Selling Holders Counsel”), to be selected by a majority-in-interest of such Selling Holders, and (iii) each Underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, together with exhibits thereto (whether or not incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to review and approval by each of the foregoing within ten (10) Business Days after delivery (except that such review and approval of any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus must be made within five (5) Business Days after delivery), and thereafter, furnish to such Selling Holders, Selling Holders’ Counsel and Underwriters, if any, at the Company’s expense, such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents or information as such Selling Holders, Selling Holders’ Counsel or Underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each Selling Holder and the Underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Company shall provide the Holders’ counsel and each Underwriter, if any, a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to, or received from, the Commission or any other governmental body having jurisdiction relating to the offering.

(d)

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of any stop order entered against it by the SEC or any other State regulatory agency and will use its reasonable best efforts to remove it at the earliest possible moment if entered.

(e)

[Section Reserved].

(f)

The Company will promptly notify each Selling Holder, Selling Holders’ Counsel and any Underwriter in writing, (i) of any request by the Commission or other regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Registration Statement for any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or other document relating to the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, (ii) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become

Exhibit A-1

effective, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event which makes any statements made in a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue in a material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that they will not to the best of the Company’s knowledge 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 in the Registration Statement and Prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made; and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the buyers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not to the best of the Company’s knowledge contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such amendment to be subject to the Holders’ review under Section 3.1(c).

Each Selling Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice in writing from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1(f) hereof, such Selling Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(f) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 3.1(a) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section 3.1(f) hereof to the date when the Company shall make available to the Selling Holders covered by such Registration Statement a Prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 3.1(f) hereof.

(g)

The Company will make generally available an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period beginning with the first day of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve (12) month period, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-QSB, 10-KSB and 8-K under the Exchange Act in accordance with the applicable time periods and extensions provided by the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

(h)

The Company will enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form and which is reasonably

Exhibit A-1

satisfactory to the Company) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(i)

The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(j)

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quoted on any automated quotation system on which similar securities of the Company are then listed or quoted and enter into customary agreements, including a listing application in customary form; provided that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied, and to provide a transfer agent and register for such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

(k)

The Company will make available for inspection by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by any such Holder or Underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as such Inspector shall deem necessary or desirable in order to permit it to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information and respond to all inquiries reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. The rights granted to the Inspectors in this Section 3.1(k) shall be conditioned upon the Inspectors agreeing to sign confidentiality agreements prior to receiving information or documentation from the Company.

(1)

The Company will, to the extent required in connection with an underwritten offering, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish an opinion of counsel for the Company addressed to the Underwriter and each Selling Holder and dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement (if any) (or if such offering is not underwritten, dated the effective date of the Registration Statement), and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish a “cold comfort” letter addressed to each Selling Holder, if permissible under applicable accounting practices, and signed by the independent public accountants who have audited the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, in each such case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to Underwriters in underwritten pubic offerings of securities and such other matters as the Selling Holders may reasonably request and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements.

Exhibit A-1

(m)

The Company will, not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, and provide the applicable transfer agents with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities, which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

SECTION 3.2.

Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with any Registration pursuant to Article 3 hereof or incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) the fees and expenses of compliance with the securities or blue sky laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or quotation, as appropriate, of the Registrable Securities, (vi) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses of any special audit or cold comfort letter), and (vii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be responsible for the payment of any legal expenses, brokerage commissions or taxes incurred by the Selling Holders.

ARTICLE 4.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

SECTION 4.1

Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder, its general partners, limited partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, together with the general partners, limited partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents of such controlling Person (collectively the “Controlling Persons”), from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability, attorneys’ fees, cost or expense and costs and expenses of investigating and defending any such claim (collectively, the “Damages”) and any action in respect thereof to which such Selling Holder, its general partners, managing partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, and any such Controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state blue sky laws, common laws or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (x) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary or summary Prospectus, or in any document incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary or Summary Prospectus, (y) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar

Exhibit A-1

as the same are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by a Selling Holder for use therein, or (z) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company shall reimburse each Selling Holder, its partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, and each such Controlling Person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by that Selling Holder, its partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, or any such Controlling Person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such Damages or proceedings; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Selling Holder or other indemnitee to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission based solely upon information provided in writing to the Company by the Selling Holder for inclusion in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company also agrees to indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Selling Holders provided in this Section 4.1. This indemnity will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder thereof.

SECTION 4.2.

Indemnification by Selling Holders. Each Selling Stockholder agrees to severally, but not jointly with the other Selling Stockholder(s), indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, its officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, and each Controlling Person of the Company, if any, together with the partners, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents of such Controlling Person, from and against any Damages and any action in respect thereof to which the Company and any such Controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state blue sky laws, common laws or otherwise, insofar as such Damages (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (x) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any preliminary or summary Prospectus, or (y) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement of material fact is contained in, or such material fact relating to the Selling Holder is omitted from, information related to such Selling Holder, or its plan of distribution, furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Holder for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary or summary Prospectus with the understanding that the liability pursuant to this Section 4.2, except where the Selling Holder is grossly negligent or engage in malfeasance or willful misconduct, shall not exceed the amount of the proceeds received by the Selling Holder from the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Selling Holder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, such Selling Holder has furnished in writing to the Company information for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to the Company. The Selling Holder shall reimburse the Company and each such Controlling Person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such Controlling Person in

Exhibit A-1

investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such Damages or proceedings.

SECTION 4.3.

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under Section 4.1 or 4.2 except to the extent of any actual prejudice resulting therefrom. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified Indemnifying Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party and its Controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect to which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be for the account of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with local counsel) at any time for all Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, and such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. Whether or not the defense of any claim or action is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlements made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In all instances, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party or its counsel in the defense of each claim or action.

SECTION 4.4.

Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it

Exhibit A-1

harmless as contemplated by Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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.

ARTICLE 5.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 5.1.

Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 2.2(c) above, no Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights.

SECTION 5.2.

Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request and to cooperate with such Holder by acting in good faith and with fair dealing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (b) any other applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

SECTION 5.3.

No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Person under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.4.

Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
