distribution with respect to, conversion or exchange of, or in replacement of,
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall
include (but not be limited to) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to no

issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrants,

prepare and file with the Commission a "shelf" Registration Statement covering
all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement
-3-
shall be on Form SB-2 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register
for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2, in which case such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The
Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the Registrable
Securities to be included in the Registration Statement, (ii) use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration
of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 12dl-2 promulgated under the Exchange
Act within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified
(orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a
Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not be subject to further
review) as soon as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to
the Effectiveness Date, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the
date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have
been sold or (y) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be sold
without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to
the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company's
transfer agent to such effect (the "Effectiveness Period"). If an additional
Registration Statement is required, for any reason, to be filed because the
actual number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures are
convertible and the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the number of shares of
Common Stock initially registered in respect of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares based upon the computation on the Closing Date, the Company shall
have twenty (20) Business Days to file such additional Registration Statement,
and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as possible, but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after filing.
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder,
the Company shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the Filing
Date, a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or if the Company is not then
eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith) in
accordance with the method or methods of distribution thereof as specified by
the Holders (except if otherwise directed by the Holders), and cause the
Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided
herein; provided, however, that not less than five (5) Business Days prior to
the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to the Holders
and any Special Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed,
which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to
the review of such Holders and such Special Counsel, and (ii) at the request of
any Holder cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified
public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Holders, to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not
file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities or any Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within
three (3) Business Days of their receipt thereof.
-4-
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with
the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for
resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
(or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act;
(iii) respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the
Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the
applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such
Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and any
Special Counsel as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not
less than five (5) Business Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any
such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day
following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed;
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of
such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
such Registration Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority
for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and
correct in all material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made
in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
The Company shall promptly furnish to Special Counsel, without charge,
(i) any correspondence from the Commission or the Commission's staff to the
Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement and (ii)
promptly after the same is
-5-
prepared and filed with the Commission, a copy of any written response to the
correspondence received from the Commission.
(d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption
from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the
Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required
filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon
as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
(f) Furnish to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without charge, at
least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits
to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
Commission.
(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and any Special Counsel, without
charge, as many copies of the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectuses
(including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as
such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use
of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and
any Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to
keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective
during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things
necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in
any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that
would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it
is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant
to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive
legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least two (2) Business
Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.
-6-
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi),
as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating
to such Registration Statement to be listed on OTC Bulletin Board and any other
securities exchange, quotation system, market or over-the-counter bulletin
board, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed
as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security
holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of
any twelve (12)-month period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any twelve
(12)-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day
of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of
Rule 158.
(m) Require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information
regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is
required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company
may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder
who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the
filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented Prospectus and/or amended
Registration Statement.
If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise
as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the
right to require (if such reference to such Holder 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 such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such
reference ceases to be required.
Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received
copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in
Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such Registration Statement and
any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by
Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement.
Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event
of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v) or
3(c)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue
-7-
disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement
until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is
advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the
Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably
determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant
business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose
under the Registration Statement, then the Company may suspend effectiveness of
a registration statement and suspend the sale of Registrable Securities under a
Registration Statement for a period not to exceed twenty (20) consecutive days,
provided that the Company may not suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n)
for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month
period (each, a "Blackout Period"); provided, however, that no such suspension
shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods, arising out of the
same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.
(o) Within two (2) business days after the Registration Statement which
includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, 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
Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the Commission in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4. Registration Expenses
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with
this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not the
Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any
Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees
and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without
limitation the following: (i) all registration and filing fees (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be
made with the OTC Bulletin Board and each other securities exchange or market on
which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with
respect to filings required to be made with the Commission, and (C) in
compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders in connection with
Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the
eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may
designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of
printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if
the printing of prospectuses is requested by the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger,
telephone and
-8-
delivery expenses, (iv) fees of counsel for the Company and Special Counsel for
the Holders, in the case of the Special Counsel, to a maximum amount of $25,000
(v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such
insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's independent public
accountants (including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated
with the delivery by independent public accountants of a comfort letter or
comfort letters). In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its
internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any
securities exchange as required hereunder.
5. Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell
Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to
perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees
of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, and
the respective successors, assigns, estate and personal representatives of each
of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, judgments,
costs (including, without limitation, costs of investigation) and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively,
"Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form
of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon
information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by
the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to
such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable
Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall notify
the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding
of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as
defined in Section 5(c) hereof) and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Holders.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not
jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers,
agents and employees, each
-9-
Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers,
agents or employees of such controlling Persons, and the respective successors,
assigns, estate and personal representatives of each of the foregoing, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as
incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
form of prospectus, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so
furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in
the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was
reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement,
such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section
5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as
a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
"Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person
from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially
adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or
Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
-10-
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable
fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10)
Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of
whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or
5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a
governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its
terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or
omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken
or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying, Party or
Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any
reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be
liable or required to contribute under this Section 5(c) for only that amount as
does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are
in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
-11-
may have to the Indemnified Parties
6. Rule 144.
As long as any Holder owns Debentures, Conversion Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true
and complete copies of all such filings. As long as any Holder owns Debentures,
Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to
file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will
prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance
with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly
financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial
statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would
otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in
the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made
under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Person to sell Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions of counsel to the Company referred to in
the Purchase Agreement. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall
deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as
to whether it has complied with such requirements.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder,
of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as
the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by
law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for
any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect,
nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this
Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect
granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the
Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act
unless the rights
-12-
so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the
Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions
of this Agreement.
(c) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its
security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may
include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the Company
shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to
any of its security holders, unless the right so granted is subject in all
respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and is not
otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.
(d) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time when there is not an
effective Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, the
Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others
under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4
or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or its then
equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall
send to each holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such
determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, any
such holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Holders), the Company
will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the holder, to
the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so
to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving written notice of
its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the
registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company
shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such
securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination
not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 7(d) for the
same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall
include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities such holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 7(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the
Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing
underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of
the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company
after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine
that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would materially adversely
affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and, based on
such determination, recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer
or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then, as applicable (x)
the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such
registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon
the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s)
recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders
-13-
shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after
consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered
for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such
reduction of the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the
Holders shall not represent a greater fraction than the fraction of similar
reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).
(e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The
Company and the Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and
maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or
if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that it
would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.
Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the
Filing Date, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
Effectiveness Date (or in the event an additional Registration Statement is
filed because the actual number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Debentures are convertible and the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the number
of shares of Common Stock initially registered is not filed and declared
effective within the time periods set forth in Section 2 hereof), or (ii) the
Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in
accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5)
Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not
be "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (iii) the Registration
Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter
ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the
expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded immediately by a
subsequent Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the
Commission, or (iv) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the
Common Stock is delisted from OTC Bulletin Board for any reason for more than
three (3) Business Days in the aggregate, or (v) the Company breaches in a
material respect any covenant or other material term or condition to this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, document, certificate
or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and such breach continues for a period of thirty days after
written notice thereof to the Company, or (vi) the Company has breached Section
3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an
"Event"), the Company shall pay as liquidated damages for such failure and not
as a penalty (the "Liquidated Damages") to each Holder an amount equal to two
percent (2%) of the purchase price paid by the Purchasers for the Debentures
purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each thirty (30) day period
following the Event until the applicable Event has been cured, which amount
shall be pro rated for any period less than thirty (30) days (the "Periodic
Amount"). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall be due and
payable immediately upon demand at the option of the Holders in cash or as an
accrual to the amount outstanding under the Debentures. The parties agree that
the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties,
as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred
by the Holders if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the
Filing Date or has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to
the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during
the Effectiveness Period or if any other Event as described herein has occurred.
-14-
(f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
(i) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Registration Rights Agreement or the Purchase Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Registration
Rights Agreement or the Purchase Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to
which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(ii) Each of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby
irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York and the courts of the State of New York
located in New York county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement and (ii)
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and
the Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this
Section 7(f) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
(g) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and each of
the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from
the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of
other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except
in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if
such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile
telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., eastern standard time,

notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone
number specified for notice later than 5:00 p.m., eastern standard time, on any
date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., eastern time, on such date, (iii) the Business
Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier service or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be with
respect to each Holder at its address set forth under its name on Schedule A
attached hereto, or with respect to the Company, addressed to:

or to such other address or addresses or facsimile number or numbers as any such
party may most recently have designated in writing to the other parties hereto
by such notice. Copies of notices to any Holder shall be sent to the addresses
listed on Schedule A attached hereto, if applicable. Copies of notices to the
Company shall be sent to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP, The Chrysler Building, 000 Xxxxxxxxx

no: (000) 000-0000.
(i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns
and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder. Each Holder may
assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under
the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder
hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be
automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such Holder of all
or a portion of the Debentures or Warrants or shares of Registrable Securities
if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign
such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the
name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned,
(iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company
receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section, the
transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of
the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement. In
addition, each Holder shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any
other Person with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The rights to assignment shall apply to the
Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In
the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
-16-
(l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles
of conflicts of law thereof. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or
construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be
drafted.
(m) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and
Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative
and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or
in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a
waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing
herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by
the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Amounts set forth or
provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the
computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof
and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other
obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to
the holders of the Debentures and that the remedy at law for any such breach may
be inadequate. Therefore the Company agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Debentures shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available rights and remedies, to an injunction
restraining any such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
(n) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any
respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set
forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(o) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
(p) Shares Held by the Company and its Affiliates. Whenever the consent
or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is
required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates
(other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such
Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such
Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent
or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage and shall not
be counted as outstanding.

Re: Detour Magazine, Inc.
---------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Detour Magazine, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Convertible Debentures and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "PURCHASE
AGREEMENT"), dated as of December 28, 2000, by and among the Company and the
Purchasers named therein (the "Holder") pursuant to which the Company issued to
the Holder promissory Debentures (the "DEBENTURES") convertible into the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK") and
warrants (the "WARRANTS") to purchase shares of the Common Stock. Pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Holder (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), dated as of
December 28, 2000, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to
register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Debentures and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 ACT"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement, on ________________, 200_, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form ___ (File No. 333-________) (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present Holders
as a selling stockholder thereunder.
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, accordingly, the
Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act in the manner
specified in, and pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
By:
