The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date when all Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) the date on which the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 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").

13.	Registration Procedures.

13.1 In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a)

(i) Prepare and file with the SEC 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 Shares for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements as necessary in order to register for resale under the 1933 Act all of the Shares; (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 1933 Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the

Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the disposition of all Shares covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Subscriber thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented.

(b)

Notify the Subscriber as promptly as possible (i)(A) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; and (B) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority for post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Shares 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 Shares 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.

(c)

Use its commercially reasonable 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 Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(d)

If requested by the Subscriber, (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.

(e)

Prior to any public offering of the Shares, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Subscriber in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Subscriber reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Shares covered by the 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.

(f)

Cooperate with the Subscriber to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Shares to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and to enable such Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Subscriber may request in writing at least five (5) business days prior to any sale of Shares.

(g)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 13.1(b)(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.

(h)

Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Shares relating to the Registration Statement to continue to be eligible for quotation or listing on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded.

(i)

Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC;

(j)

Require the Subscriber, where necessary, to furnish to the Company information regarding itself and the distribution of such Shares as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Shares of the Subscriber if it fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

(k)

If the Registration Statement refers to the Subscriber by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, provide the Subscriber the right to require (if such reference to the Subscriber by name or otherwise is not required by the 1933 Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to it in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

(l)

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, or, as the Board reasonably determines, may (x) postpone or suspend filing of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 30 consecutive days or (y) postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section 13.1(l) for more than 45 days in the aggregate during any 360 day period, and provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive 20 day periods arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Shares 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 the Subscriber, each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and 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 (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein, and (ii) that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement, allegedly untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the final prospectus (filed pursuant to Rule 172 or Rule 424 of the 1933 Act), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of the Subscriber or any underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of holders of the Shares, from whom the person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased the Shares which are the subject thereof, if a copy of such final prospectus had been made available to such person and the Subscriber or such underwriter, broker or other person acting on behalf of the

Subscriber and such final prospectus was not delivered to such person with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Shares to such person. The Company shall notify the Subscriber promptly of the claim, threat or assertion of any proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15.2 Indemnification by Subscriber. The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or arising out of or based 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 any information so furnished by the Subscriber to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such prospectus.

15.3 Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 15.1 or 15.2 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 benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault, as applicable, 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 any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with (i) 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 or (ii) enforcing any rights under this Section 15.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 15.3 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 0000 Xxx) 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 may have to the indemnified parties.
