Delaware limited partnership (the "Investor").
WHEREAS:
A. In connection with the Investment Agreement (the "Investment
Agreement") of even date herewith between the Company and the Investor, the
Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Investment Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investor ordinary shares (the

B. To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Investment Agreement,
the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations there under,
or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "1933 Act"), and applicable
state securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor
hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
(a) "Person" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a
governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.
(b) "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States
Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC").
(c) "Registrable Securities" means the Ordinary Shares issuable to
Investor issuable to the Investor under the Investment Agreement of even date
herewith between the Company and the Investor.
(d) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement under
the 1933 Act which covers the Registrable Securities.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company shall prepare and file, no later than sixty (60) days from the date
hereof (the "Scheduled Filing Deadline"), with the SEC a registration statement
on Form S-1 or SB-2 (or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the
1933 Act (the "Initial Registration Statement") for the registration for the
resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall cause
the Registration Statement to remain effective until all of the Registrable
Securities have been sold.
(b) Effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement. The Company
shall use its best efforts (i) to have the Initial Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC no later than one hundred fifty (150) days after
the filing thereof (the "Scheduled Effective Deadline") and (ii) to insure that
the Initial Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement
remains in effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. It shall be an event of
default hereunder if the Initial Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the SEC within two hundred seventy (270) days after filing thereof.
(c) Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by the Scheduled
Filing Deadline or is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the
Scheduled Effective Deadline, or if after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration
Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement
effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be
made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register sufficient
Ordinary Shares or otherwise then as partial relief for the damages to any
holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of
its ability to sell the underlying Ordinary Shares (which remedy shall not be
exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the Company will pay as
liquidated damages (the "Liquidated Damages") to the holder, at the holder's
option, either a cash amount or shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to
two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Investment Agreement)
as Liquidated Damages for each thirty (30) day period after the Scheduled Filing
Deadline or the Scheduled Effective Deadline as the case may be which shall be
paid on a pro rata basis for any partial thirty (30) day period. Any Liquidated
Damages payable hereunder shall not limit, prohibit or preclude the Investor
from seeking any other remedy available to it under contract, at law or in
equity.
(d) Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto
acknowledge and agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall
constitute liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other
rights of the Investor, including the right to call a default. The parties
further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred
is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified
in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly or
grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in
connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the
Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the
uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and
(iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arm's length.

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
(a) The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) date on which the
Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement or (ii) the Registrable Securities are eligible to be
sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act (the "Registration Period"),
which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto
and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be
filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by
reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K
or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into
the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement.
(c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at
least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the
SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each
preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in
such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such
other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such
other documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Investor.
(d) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those
jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
3
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
(x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of
the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or
development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any
material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.
(f) The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance
of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and,
if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order
or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who
holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat
of any proceeding for such purpose.
(g) At the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall
furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investor.
(h) Upon five (5) days prior written notice by the Investor, which
notice shall not be given more than one (1) time per calendar quarter, the
Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor and (ii) one (1)
4
firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investor (collectively, the
"Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall
be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector
may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and
each Investor hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any
disclosure (except to an Investor) or use any Record or other information which
the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which
the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge. Each Investor agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court
or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give
prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, the Records deemed confidential.
(i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, such information.
(j) The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on
each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) the
inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all
fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(j).
(k) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any
restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may reasonably
request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.
5
(l) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
(m) The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve (12) month
period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter
next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.
(n) The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.
(o) Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement
which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver,
to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the
Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(p) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.
Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
certificates for Ordinary Shares to a transferee of an Investor in accordance
with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale
of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a
contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting
fees shall be paid by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
6
With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors,
officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys'
fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively,
"Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim,
suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by
or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency,
body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified
party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them
may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities
or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are
offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC)
or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary
to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which
the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall
reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or
disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be
available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to
deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the
Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to
Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim
if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein or in any other agreement entered into between the Company
and the Investor, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is solely
responsible and shall indemnify each Indemnified Person for the contents of any
registration statement, prospectus or other filing made with the SEC or
otherwise used in the offering of the Company's securities (except as such
7
disclosure relates solely to the Investor and then only to the extent that such
disclosure conforms with information furnished in writing by the Investor to the
Company), even if the Investor or its agents as an accommodation to the Company
participate or assist in the preparation of such registration statement,
prospectus or other SEC filing. The Company shall retain its own legal counsel
to review, edit, confirm and do all things such counsel deems necessary or
desirable to such registration statement, prospectus or other SEC filing to
ensure that it does not contain an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of material fact or omit or alleged to omit a material fact necessary to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements were made, not misleading. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investor pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
(b) In connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor
agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the
same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or
agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or
Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise
out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to
the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the
agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be
liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified
Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of
the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new
prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor's use of the
prospectus to which the Claim relates.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof,
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such
8
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition
to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited
or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
9
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar 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 ("Rule 144") the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents as are required by the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (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 to
permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investor who
then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each
Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent
that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.
No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required
or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered
10
personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of
transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the
party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such
communications shall be:

Re: IPOINT-MEDIA LTD.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to IPOINT-MEDIA LTD. (the "Company"), and have represented
the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement") entered into by and among the Company and the
investor named therein (collectively, the "Investor") pursuant to which the
Company issued to the Investor shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also
has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among
other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange SEC (the "SEC") relating to the
Registrable Securities which names each of the Investor as a selling stockholder
there under.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
[COMPANY COUNSEL]
