2. Preemptive Rights
2.1 Preemptive Rights Granted. If the Company proposes to issue or sell any
New Securities (as defined below), the Investor, provided that the Investor
holds at least half of the Investor Securities acquired under the Purchase
Agreement, shall have a preemptive right to purchase up to a pro rata share of
such New Securities proposed to be issued or sold in accordance with the terms
of this Section 2. The Investor's pro rata share is the ratio of the number of
shares of Common Stock represented by the Investor Securities held immediately
prior to the issuance or sale of New Securities to the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to the
issuance or sale of New Securities.
2.2 New Securities. "New Securities" shall mean any capital stock or
similar security or any security convertible or exchangeable, with or without
consideration, into or for any capital stock or similar security, or any
security carrying any warrant or right to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock or similar security, or any such warrant or right, of the Company whether
now authorized or not, provided that the New Securities do not include:
(a) securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of currently
outstanding warrants or options of the Company as disclosed on Schedule 4.6(a)
of the Purchase Agreement (including the Warrants);
(b) securities in an aggregate amount of up to 15% of the fully-diluted
Common Stock issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors, contractors,

incentive agreements or plans approved by the Board of Directors;

recapitalization of the Company; and
(f) securities in an aggregate amount of up to 5% of the fully-diluted
Common Stock issued in connection with arrangements with financial institutions
or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment
financings or similar transactions.
2.3 Notice; Exercise of Preemptive Rights. In the event the Company
proposes to issue or sell New Securities, it shall give the Investor written
notice of its intention, describing the New Securities, their price and the
terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or sell the same. The Investor
shall have 20 calendar days after such notice is given to agree to purchase up
to such Investor's pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon
the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and
stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
2.4 Sale of New Securities. In the event that the Investor fails to
exercise fully all preemptive rights within said 20-day period, the Company
shall have 120 days thereafter to sell the remaining New Securities that the
Investor does not elect to purchase upon exercise of the preemptive rights
pursuant to this Section 2, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the
purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice to the Investor
pursuant to subsection 2.3. In the event the Company has not sold all such
remaining New Securities within such 120-day period, the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such
securities to the Investor in the manner provided in subsection 2.3 above.
3. Co-Sale Rights.
3.1 Notice of Transfer. If NTN proposes to effect any transaction that
would result in the transfer of all or a portion NTN's Securities (a "Purchase
Offer") to any Person upon specific terms and conditions (including a specified
purchase price payable in cash or other property), then, as a condition to such
transfer, NTN shall promptly notify the Investor in writing of the terms and
conditions of such Purchase Offer (a "Disposition Notice").
3.2 Grant of Right. The Investor shall have the right, exercisable upon
written notice to NTN within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the
Disposition Notice of the Purchase Offer, to participate in the sale of NTN's
Securities on the same specified terms and conditions of such Purchase Offer,
including the price per share. To the extent the Investor exercises such right
of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below,
the number of shares of the Common Stock (or securities convertible into such
3
number of shares of Common Stock) that NTN may sell pursuant to such Purchase
Offer shall be correspondingly reduced. The right of participation of the
Investor shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Investor may sell all or any part of that number of Investor
Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into such number of shares of
Common Stock) covered by the Purchase Offer by a fraction, (x) the numerator of
which shall be the number of Investor Securities and (y) the denominator of
which shall be the sum of the number of Investor Securities and NTN's
Securities, each on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis.
(b) The Investor may effect its participation in the sale by delivering to
NTN, for transfer to the purchase offeror, one or more certificates, properly
endorsed for transfer, that represents the Investor Securities that the Investor
elects to sell.
(c) To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit
such exercise of this co-sale right or otherwise refuses to purchase Investor
Securities from the Investor exercising its co-sale right hereunder, NTN shall
not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any of NTN's Securities
unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, NTN shall purchase such
Investor Securities from the Investor for the same consideration and on the same
terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Disposition
Notice.
(d) In the event that the Investor elects not to sell all of the Investor
Securities that it is entitled to sell pursuant to subsection (a) above, NTN
shall have 120 days thereafter to sell the NTN's Securities that it proposed to
sell in the Disposition Notice, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to
the purchasers thereof than those specified in the Disposition Notice. If NTN
has not sold all such NTN's Securities within such 120-day period, NTN shall not
thereafter sell any NTN's Securities unless it delivers a new Disposition Notice
to the Investor in accordance with Section 3.1.
3.3 Mechanics of Transfer. The stock certificates that the Investor
delivers to NTN shall be transferred by NTN to the purchase offeror in
consummation of the sale of NTN's Securities pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in the Disposition Notice, and NTN shall promptly
thereafter remit to the Investor that portion of the sale proceeds (and in no
event later than three business days after the receipt of such proceeds) to
which the Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. In
the event that less than all the shares represented by such a stock certificate
are sold, NTN shall instruct the Company to issue a new certificate to the
Investor representing the shares not sold.
3.4 No Effect on Subsequent Rights. The exercise or non-exercise of the
rights of the Investor hereunder to participate in one or more sales of NTN's
Securities made by NTN shall not adversely affect the Investor's rights to
participate in subsequent sales of shares of NTN's Securities.
3.5 Permitted Transfers. This Section 3 shall not apply to (i) any pledge
made pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction that creates a security interest,
(ii) any transfer to an "affiliate" of NTN as such term is defined under Rule
4
405 of the Securities Act or (iii) an authorized repurchase by the Company
applicable to the Investor Securities and NTN's Securities.
4. Drag-Along Rights
4.1 General. Subject to Sections 4.4 and 5.1(e), in connection with a sale
to any unaffiliated Person by NTN of a majority or more of the shares of Common
Stock on a fully-diluted basis, NTN shall have the right, at its election and in
its sole discretion, to cause the Investor (and any of its assignees) to sell
their Investor Securities in such sale to such Person for the same price per
share and upon the same terms and conditions as the sale by NTN to such Person.
4.2 Transfer Notice. If NTN elects to exercise its drag-along rights, NTN
shall deliver a transfer notice to the Investor not later than five (5) business
days prior the date of the proposed transfer. The transfer notice shall set
forth the terms and conditions of the sale and shall set forth the number of
Investor Securities subject to transfer pursuant to the drag-along rights, which
number shall represent the same proportionate percentage of the total number of
Investor Securities as the number of shares of Common Stock being sold by NTN
represents of the total number of NTN's Securities, and such notice shall also
contain, if available, a copy of any definitive documentation pursuant to which
the Common Stock is to be sold. The Investor shall transfer all Investor
Securities subject to transfer for the same price per share and on the same
terms and conditions applicable to the sale by NTN.
4.3 Procedures. Upon receipt of a transfer notice, the Investor shall
promptly take all reasonable steps described in the transfer notice to
effectuate the transfer of its proportionate share of Investor Securities,
including the furnishing of information customarily provided in connection with
such a transfer and the execution of customary transfer documents, with
customary representations and warranties regarding title to securities and the
absence of any liens or other encumbrances thereon (provided that the Investor
shall only be required to make representations and warranties regarding its
securities and its liability therefor shall be several (and not joint) and in no
event will the Investor have any liability in excess of the net consideration
received by the Investor in the sale). 4.4 Warrants. In the event a sale
referred to in Section 4.1 occurs and the Investor holds all or any portion of
the Warrants, the Investor may, upon receipt of a transfer notice under Section
4.2 (i) exercise all or any portion of its Warrants (by cash payment or net
exercise), at which time the Investor's resulting Common Stock shall be subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in such transfer notice unless the
Investor exercises its NTN Optional Exchange under Section 5.1(e); (ii)
surrender and forfeit all or any portion of its Warrants in lieu of exercising
the Warrants; or (iii) accept the consideration offered for all or any portion
of the Warrants by the purchaser in such a sale, if any.
5. Exchange of Buzztime Securities for NTN Securities
5.1 NTN Optional Exchange. Upon the occurrence of any of (a) the second
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, (b) the fourth anniversary of the
date of this Agreement, (c) a Sale of the Company with respect to NTN, (d)
bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or other insolvency proceeding of the
5
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or (e) if NTN elects to exercise its
drag-along rights under Section 4 and the consideration to be received is not
cash and/or securities tradeable without restriction on a national securities
exchange or the Nasdaq national market or smallcap market (each, a "Trigger
Event"), the Investor shall have the option ("NTN Optional Exchange"), upon
notice to the Company and NTN, to exchange each share of Common Stock issued
under the Warrants or the Licensing Agreement held by the Investor (the
"Buzztime Exchange Shares") into two fully paid and nonassessable shares of NTN
common stock (the "NTN Exchange Shares") (as adjusted to reflect any forward or
reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, mergers or
reclassifications affecting the Common Stock or the NTN common stock). The
Investor shall have the right to exercise the NTN Optional Exchange only twice.
NTN shall provide a written notice to the Investor five (5) business days prior
to the occurrence of a Trigger Event under Section 5.1(c) and fifteen (15)
business days prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event under Section 5.1(d)
that is voluntary by the Company or NTN. NTN shall provide a written notice to
the Investor promptly upon the occurrence of an involuntary Trigger Event under
Section 5.1(d). With respect to a Trigger Event under Section 5.1(c), the
written notice therefor shall include a description of the terms and conditions
of the Sale of the Company and the anticipated sale date and, if available, a
copy of any definitive documentation to be used to effect such sale.
5.2 Mechanics of NTN Optional Exchange. The Investor may exercise its NTN
Optional Exchange (a) with respect to a Trigger Event under Section 5.1(a) or
(b), at any time during the period beginning on the date of the Trigger Event
and ending 45 days thereafter; (b) with respect to a Trigger Event under Section
5.1(c) or (d), at any time during the period beginning on the date the Investor
receives the written notice of such Trigger Event required under Section 5.1 and
ending on the earlier of (i) the business day before the Trigger Event occurs or
(ii) fifteen (15) business days after the Investor's receipt of Company's or
NTN's notice of the Trigger Event, provided that in the event of an involuntary
Trigger Event under Section 5.1(d), the Investor shall have at least five (5)
business days after receipt of notice to exercise its NTN Optional Exchange; and
(c) with respect to a Trigger Event under Section 5.1(e), at any time during the
period beginning on the date the Investor receives the transfer notice required
under Section 4.2 and ending on the day before the date of the sale described in
such transfer notice. If the Investor exercises its NTN Optional Exchange, it
shall deliver (i) the certificates evidencing the Buzztime Exchange Shares being
exchanged, (ii) written notice of exchange and proper assignment of such
certificates to NTN and (iii) a certificate signed by an authorized officer of
the Investor pursuant to Section 5.3, to the office of any transfer agent for
the Common Stock or to any other office or agency maintained by the Company for
that purpose. The NTN Optional Exchange shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the foregoing
requirements shall have been satisfied, and the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the NTN Exchange Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Buzztime
Exchange Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such NTN Exchange Shares at such time on such date. NTN shall, as
soon as practicable after the surrender for exchange of certificates evidencing
the Buzztime Exchange Shares and compliance with the other conditions herein
contained, deliver at the offices of such transfer agent to the Person for whom
such Buzztime Exchange Shares are so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees
of such Person, certificates evidencing the number of full shares of NTN
Exchange Shares to which such Person shall be entitled, together with a cash
payment in respect of any fraction of a share of NTN Exchange Shares.
6
5.3 Investor Representations and Warranties. On the date the Investor sends
notice of exercise of its NTN Optional Exchange, an authorized officer of the
Investor shall sign a certificate in which the Investor represents, warrants and
covenants that at the time of the NTN Optional Exchange the following is true
and correct:
(a) The NTN Exchange Shares to be received by the Investor will be acquired
for investment for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and
not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
otherwise distributing the same in violation of any applicable federal or any
applicable state securities laws. The Investor does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such party or to any third party with respect to the NTN
Exchange Shares except for the Investor's registration rights with respect
thereto. The Investor has not seen or received any advertisement or general
solicitation with respect to the NTN Exchange Shares.
(b) The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the NTN Exchange
Shares. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from NTN regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering of the NTN Exchange Shares and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of NTN.
(c) The Investor acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the NTN Exchange Shares. The Investor also represents
it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the NTN Exchange Shares.
The Investor acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk of this investment
indefinitely unless the NTN Exchange Shares are registered pursuant to the
Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. The Investor also
understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act will ever be available and that, even if available,
such exemption may not allow Investor to transfer all or any portion of the NTN
Exchange Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the
Investor might propose.
(d) The Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Rule 501 of Regulation D, as then
in effect.
(e) The Investor understands that the NTN Exchange Shares are characterized
as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they
are being acquired from NTN in a transaction not involving a public offering and
that under such laws and applicable regulations such NTN Exchange Shares may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar
with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as then in effect, understands the
resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act, and understands
that the NTN Exchange Shares may not currently be resold in reliance upon Rule
144.
5.4 NTN Call Right. In the event a Sale of the Company occurs with respect
to NTN, NTN shall have the right to require the Investor to exchange all of its
Buzztime Exchange Shares for NTN Exchange Shares upon five (5) business days
7
notice using the mechanics comparable to those set forth in Section 5.2 as if
the Investor had exercised its rights under the NTN Optional Exchange. In the
event a Sale of the Company occurs with respect to NTN and the Investor holds
all or any portion of the Warrants, NTN shall have the right to require the
Investor to effect one or more of the following alternatives (as determined by
the Investor in its sole discretion): (i) to exercise all or any portion of its
Warrants (by cash payment or net exercise), at which time NTN shall have the
right to require the Investor to exchange all of its resulting Buzztime Exchange
Shares as provided above; (ii) to surrender and forfeit all or any portion of
its Warrants in lieu of exercising the Warrants and exchanging the resulting
Buzztime Exchange Shares; or (iii) to accept the consideration offered for all
or any portion of the Warrants by the purchaser in such a Sale of the Company,
if any.
5.5 Warrant Exchange. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation,
dissolution or other insolvency proceeding of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the Investor shall have the option, upon notice to the Company and
NTN, to exchange the Warrants held by the Investor into warrants of like tenor
for twice the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of NTN common stock
for the same aggregate exercise price (as adjusted to reflect any forward or
reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, mergers or
reclassifications affecting the Common Stock or the NTN common stock). The new
warrant will contain equivalent terms, including an exercise price of $1.73, as
adjusted. The exercise of the warrant exchange rights under this Section 5.5
shall be deemed to be the exercise of the NTN Optional Exchange (provided that
the rights under this Section 5.5 may, to the extent exercisable, be exercised
concurrently with the NTN Optional Exchange under Section 5.1).
5.6 Legend. NTN hereby agrees to issue such shares of its common stock or
warrants as required under this Section 5; provided that each certificate or
warrant issued shall be endorsed with the following legend:
"THIS SECURITY [AND ANY SHARES ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY]
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE APPLICABLE SECURITY
HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH LAWS OR (1) REGISTRATION
UNDER SUCH LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED AND (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS FURNISHED UPON REQUEST BY THE COMPANY
TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED."
5.7 Termination. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 8.1,
this Section 5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the later
of (i) the fourth anniversary of this Agreement or (ii) the expiration of NTN's
drag-along rights provided for in Section 4; provided that this provision shall
not impair the Investor's right to exercise the NTN Optional Exchange upon the
occurrence of the Trigger Event under Section 5.1(b) in accordance with the
other provisions of this Section 5, and shall not affect any exercise of the NTN
Optional Exchange initiated prior to such fourth anniversary or such expiration
of NTN's drag-along rights.
8
6. Legend
(a) Each certificate representing Common Stock now or hereafter owned by
NTN and the Investor shall be endorsed with the following legend:
"THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THE BUZZTIME INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT AMONG THE
HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF
THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY."
(b) Under no circumstances shall any transfer of Capital Securities subject
hereto be valid until the proposed transferee thereof shall have executed and
become a party to this Agreement and thereby shall have become subject to all of
the provisions hereof; and regardless of any other provisions of this Agreement,
no such transfer of any kind shall in any event result in the non-applicability
of the provisions hereof at any time to any of the Capital Securities subject
hereto.
(c) NTN and the Investor agree that the Company may instruct its transfer
agent to impose transfer restrictions on the Common Stock represented by
certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 6(a) above to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The
legend shall be removed upon termination of Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this
Agreement.
7. Registration Rights
7.1 Registrable Securities. "Registrable Securities" means all shares of
Common Stock now or hereafter owned or held by the Investor acquired under the
Warrants or the Licensing Agreement. Registrable Securities do not include the
Warrants (except in relation to the underlying shares of Common Stock).
7.2 Registrations on Form S-3. Following a Qualified Public Offering, the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for
registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms, and after
receiving any such qualification, the Company shall file all reports required to
be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner and otherwise use
commercially reasonable efforts so as to maintain its eligibility for the use of
Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has
qualified for the use of Form S-3, the Investor shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to request a registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or
successor form or forms (a "Short Form Registration") if the estimated offering
price of shares subject to such registration shall be at least $1,000,000;
provided, that the Company shall not be required to effect a Short Form
Registration more frequently than twice (counting for these purposes only
registrations which have been declared or ordered effective) during any 12
9
consecutive month period. Such requests shall be in writing and shall state the
number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be disposed of and the
intended method of distribution of such shares by the holders.
7.3 Right to Defer Registration. The Company may postpone for up to ninety
(90) days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a
Short Form Registration pursuant to Section 7.2 if its Board of Directors
determines, reasonably and in good faith, that such registration might have a
material and adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in
any acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer or any other material
transaction; provided, that the Company may not postpone the filing or
effectiveness of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 7.3 more than
twice during any period of 12 consecutive months. Any suspension under this
Section 7.3, along with any suspension of a prospectus under Section 7.7 and any
market standoff period under Section 7.17, shall not exceed an aggregate of 180
days in any twelve month period.
7.4 Right to Piggyback Registrations. If the Company proposes to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act either for its own account or the
account of a security holder or holders in an underwritten offering (other than
a registration solely in connection with an employee benefit or stock ownership
plan) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of
Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give
prompt written notice to the Investor of its intention to effect such a
registration (each, a "Piggyback Notice"). Subject to Section 7.5, the Company
will include in such registration all shares of Registrable Securities that the
Investor requests the Company to include in such registration by written notice
given to the Company within five business days after the date of receiving the
Piggyback Notice.
7.5 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriters in a
Piggyback Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the
number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price
range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration
(i) first, in the case of a registration initiated by the Company, the
securities proposed to be sold by the Company, or in the case of a registration
initiated by a security holder, the securities proposed to be sold by such
holder, (ii) second, the securities held by those holders who have existing
piggyback registration rights as disclosed on Schedule 4.6(b) of the Purchase
Agreement and have requested to be included in such registration, (iii) third,
to the Registrable Securities of the holders requested to be included in such
registration, pro rata among all holders entitled to participate in such
offering on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such registration, and (iv) fourth, other securities
requested to be included in such registration. The Company agrees that the
Investor shall have priority over any holder of securities of the Company who is
accorded registration rights in the future; provided that any holder who
purchases $3 million or more of securities from the Company and its subsidiaries
may have shared priority with the holders of the Registrable Securities on a
pari passu basis.
7.6 Registration Procedures. Whenever the Investor has requested that any
Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale
of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
10
distribution thereof (which may include an underwritten offering conducted by an
underwriter or underwriters selected by the Investor) and will as expeditiously
as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to
such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter and to remain
effective as otherwise provided in this Section 4, provided that before filing a
registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto,
the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the Investor copies of all
such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the
review of such counsel and the sections of the registration statement covering
information with respect to the Investor, the Investor's beneficial ownership of
securities of the Company and the Investor's intended method of disposition of
the Registrable Securities shall conform to the information provided by the
Investor;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of at least
two years (as extended by the aggregate number of days included in all periods
of postponement, suspension and/or lockup of sales under Sections 7.3, 7.7 and
7.17) or until the Investor has completed the distribution described in the
registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs, and comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set
forth in such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the Investor such number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in
such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such
other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Investor reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things that may
be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by the
Investor, provided that the Company will not be required (i) to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) to subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) to consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) notify Investor, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of the Investor,
the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
11
(f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities
exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and
to be qualified for trading on each system on which similar securities issued by
the Company are from time to time qualified, and the Company agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain listing of the Common Stock on the
American Stock Exchange or the other primary national exchange or quotation
system that constitutes the principal market for the Common Stock at the time;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement and
thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and registrar;
(h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements
in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Investor or the
underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities being sold, including obtaining
customary letters and consents from the Company's independent certified public
accountants and the participation of management in at least one "road show" if
requested by the underwriters at a time and location reasonably acceptable to
management;
(i) make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to
supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(j) permit the Investor, if it might be deemed, in the sole and exclusive
judgment of the Investor, to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of the
Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable
statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the
Company in writing, that in the reasonable judgment of the Investor or its
counsel should be included;
(k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or
preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of
any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in
any jurisdiction, the Company will notify the Investor and use its reasonable
best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and
(l) take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate
the registration and the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with
the intended method of distribution thereof.
If any such registration statement refers to the Investor by name or otherwise
as the holder of any securities of the Company and if, in the sole and exclusive
judgment of the Investor, the Investor is or might be deemed to be a controlling
person of the Company, the Investor shall have the right to require (a) the
inclusion in such registration statement of language, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, to the effect that the holding of such
securities by Investor is not to be construed as a recommendation by Investor of
12
the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby and that such
holding does not imply that the Investor will assist in meeting any future
financial requirements of the Company, or (b) in the event that such reference
to Investor by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any
similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to the
Investor; provided, that with respect to this clause (b) the Investor shall
furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion of
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
7.7 Suspension of Prospectus. For not more than 45 consecutive days or for
a total of not more than 90 days in any twelve month period, the Company may
delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company,
by suspending the use of any prospectus included in any registration
contemplated by this Section 7 containing such information, the disclosure of
which at the time would be, in the good faith opinion of the Company,
detrimental to the Company; provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify
the Investor in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior
written consent of the Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any
of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving
rise to such delay, and (b) advise the Investor in writing to cease all sales
under the registration statement until the end of such allowed delay. Any
suspension under this Section 7.7, along with any deferral of a registration
statement under Section 7.3 and any market standoff period under Section 7.17,
shall not exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any twelve month period.
7.8 Registration Expenses. The term "Registration Expenses" means any and
all expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with Section
7, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and
expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses,
messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and expenses of counsel for the
Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriting fees and
expenses (excluding discounts and commissions, which shall be paid by Investor
out of the proceeds of the offering) and the fees and expenses of any other
persons retained by the Company.
7.9 Payment. The Company shall pay the Registration Expenses in connection
with all Short Form Registrations under Section 7.2 and all Piggyback
Registrations under Section 7.4. All other expenses shall be paid by the
Investor, pro rata on the basis of the number of its shares included in the
registration.
7.10 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to
the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, his, her or
its general and limited partners, members, shareholders, officers and directors
and each Person who controls such Person (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by or
based on any untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or caused by
or based on any violation by the Company of any federal or state securities law,
rule or regulation, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any
information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder of Registrable
Securities expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten
offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and
13
directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of
the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
7.11 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection
with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is
participating, such Person will furnish to the Company in writing such
information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in
connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent
permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and
each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any
untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent
that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any written information
or affidavit so furnished in writing by Investor in connection with such
registration statement; provided, that the obligation to indemnify will be
limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
7.12 Notice; Defense of Claims. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any
claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such
indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim,
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement
made by the indemnified party without his, her or its consent. An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim
will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for
all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of
interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
7.13 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for herein is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The obligation to contribute will be limited to the
amount by which the net amount of proceeds received by a holder of Registrable
14
Securities from the sale of its Registrable Securities, as the case may be,
exceeds the amount of losses, liabilities, damages and expenses that the
Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such statements or
omissions.
7.14 Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or
controlling person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of
securities and the termination of this Section 7 under Section 7.19.
7.15 Underwriting Agreement. To the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the
indemnification provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the underwriting
agreement shall control.
7.16 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate
in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees
to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
7.17 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each holder of Registrable Securities
hereby agrees, for a period of 120 days following the effective date of a
registration statement in an initial underwritten public offering on behalf of
the Company and 90 days following the effective date of a registration statement
in any subsequent underwritten public offering on behalf of the Company (or for
such shorter period as may be allowed by the managing underwriter or
underwriters of such offering), not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of
(other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any Common Stock held by
it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such
registration or purchased on the open market. In order to enforce the foregoing
covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the
Registrable Securities (and the shares or securities of every other Person
subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. This Section
7.17 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an
underwriting agreement and shall only be applicable to the Investor if (i) all
officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements and (ii) the
Investor beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common
Stock. Any market standoff period under this Section 7.17, along with any
deferral of a registration statement under Section 7.3 and any suspension under
Section 7.7, shall not exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any twelve month
period.
7.18 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of the Investor to cause
the Company to register securities and keep information available and related
rights, granted to the Investor by the Company under this Section 7 may be
assigned to a transferee or assignee who is a partner, member, stockholder or
affiliate of the Investor; provided, that the transferee or assignee of such
rights has agreed in writing to comply with the obligations under this
Agreement.
7.19 Termination of Registration Rights. Section 7 of this Agreement shall
terminate with respect to any holder of Registrable Securities on the earlier of
(a) six years after the date of this Agreement, (b) four years after a Qualified
15
Public Offering, or (c) eighteen months after the earlier of (i) the date such
holder can sell all of his/her/its Registrable Securities in any three month
period pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) the date such holder holds Registrable
Securities in an amount less than one percent of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock; provided that the Company's obligations under Section 7.20 shall
survive any such termination.
7.20 Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the
Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any
other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a Short-Form Registration, the Company agrees to:
(a) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(b) furnish to the Investor, so long as the Investor or any of its
affiliates owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the
first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports
and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may
be reasonably requested in availing the Investor or its affiliates of any rule
or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without
registration or pursuant to such form.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Termination. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of a Qualified Public Offering
or a Sale of the Company with respect to the Company; provided that such
termination shall not affect any exercise of the rights granted in such Sections
that was initiated prior to such termination, and all provisions of such
Sections shall remain in effect with respect to any such rights so exercised in
accordance with their terms.
8.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. The
rights of the Investor hereunder may only be assigned to a transferee or
assignee that is an "affiliate" of such Investor as such term is defined under
Rule 405 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that (i) the transferor
shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities
that are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to
all restrictions set forth in this Agreement and all applicable transfer
restrictions under the Securities Act. In the event of a permitted assignment,
all references herein to the "Investor" will be deemed to include references to
16
the permitted assignee(s) and include the shares of Common Stock owned by such
permitted assignee(s) as appropriate. Neither the Company nor NTN may assign
this Agreement or delegate any of its obligations hereunder.
8.3 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or
waived only with the written consent of the Company, NTN and the Investor. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall be
binding upon the Company, the Investor and NTN, and each of their respective
successors and assigns. The exercise or non-exercise of any of the rights of the
Investor with respect to a sale of NTN's Securities shall not adversely affect
their rights with respect to subsequent sales of NTN's Securities subject to
this Agreement.
8.4 Notices. All notices (including other communications required or
permitted) under this Agreement must be in writing and must be delivered (i) in
person; (ii) by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested; or (iii) by a generally recognized courier or messenger service that
provides written acknowledgement of receipt by the addressee. Notices must be
given to parties at the address set forth on the signature page below, although
any party may furnish, from time to time, other addresses for notices to it.
Notices are deemed delivered when actually delivered to the address for notices.
8.5 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. The
invalidity, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement will not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other of its provisions. If one or
more provisions hereof will be declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions will remain in full force and effect and will be construed in the
broadest possible manner to effectuate the purposes hereof. If it is determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this
Agreement is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable
under the laws of that state, it is the intention of the parties that such
restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to
the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state. The parties further agree
to replace such void or unenforceable provisions of this Agreement with valid
and enforceable provisions that will achieve, to the extent possible, the
economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provisions.
8.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant
hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed,
construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which

parties, to take such actions, to execute such further instruments, documents
and agreements, and to give such further written assurances, as may be
reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions
described herein and contemplated hereby, and to carry into effect the intents
and purposes of this Agreement.
17
8.9 No Presumption. The parties acknowledge that each party has been
represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal
decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this
Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly
waived. If any claim is made by a party relating to any conflict, omission or
ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof
or persuasion will be implied because this Agreement was prepared by or at the
request of any party or its counsel.

remedies of the parties hereto will be considered to be cumulative with and in
addition to any other rights, powers and remedies that such parties may have at
law or in equity in the event of the breach of any of the terms of this
