actual amount then due under the Note.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares
in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption
Amount described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss
to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such loss, the Company
agrees to pay late payments to the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the
form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon Conversion of the Note or late
payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business
day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case
may be, for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being converted or redeemed.
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails
for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date or make
payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Subscriber will be
entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind
all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to
such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber shall each
be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of
such notice, except that late payment charges described above shall be payable
through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein
or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the
payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum
permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited
against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the
Company.
9.2. Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company is prohibited from
--------------------
issuing Shares, or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) or for any reason
other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 hereof, or upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in Article III of the Note,
then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten
(10) business days after request by the Subscriber or on the Delivery Date (if
requested by the Subscriber) a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the
outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber by 125%,
together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber
on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10)
business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note
principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.
9.3. Maximum Conversion. The Subscriber shall not be entitled to
-------------------
convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note and Put Note in connection
with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber
and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note and Put Note with respect to
which the determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date,
which would result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on
such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately
preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited
to aggregate conversions of only 4.99%. The Subscriber may void the conversion
limitation described in this Section 9.3 upon 75 days prior written notice to
the Company. The Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company
deemed beneficially owned by the Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99%
amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.
9.4. Injunction - Posting of Bond. In the event a Subscriber shall elect to
----------------------------
convert a Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on
any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such
Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason,
unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining
conversion of all or part of said Note shall have been sought and obtained and
the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount
of 130% of the amount of the Note, which is subject to the injunction, which
bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of
the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the
extent Subscriber obtains judgment.
9.5. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the
------
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber such shares
issuable upon conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date and if ten (10) days
after the Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber anticipated receiving
upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the
Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the
Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note
for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon
at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty). For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the
Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
10.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the
--------------------
following registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 46 days
after the Closing Date, but not later than three years after the Closing Date
("Request Date"), the Company, upon a written request therefor from any record
holder or holders of more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Shares
issued and issuable upon Conversion of the Notes (the Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Notes or issuable by virtue of
ownership of the Note, being, the "Registrable Securities"), shall prepare and
file with the SEC a registration statement under the Act covering the
Registrable Securities which are the subject of such request, unless such
Registrable Securities are the subject of an effective registration statement.
In addition, upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give
written notice to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that
such registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such
registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written
requests within 10 days after the Company gives such written notice. Such other
requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand
registration right under this Section 10.1(i). As a condition precedent to the
inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder thereof shall provide the
Company with such information as the Company reasonably requests. The
obligation of the Company under this Section 10.1(i) shall be limited to one
registration statement.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any
of its securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscriber or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
such time it will give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the record
holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written
request of the holder, received by the Company within 20 days after the giving
of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable
Securities, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which
registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to
be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company,
all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the
Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable
Securities (the "Seller"). In the event that any registration pursuant to this
Section 10.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering
of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities
to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing
underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall
reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the
marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided,
however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such
reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section 10.4 hereof, the
Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement
referred to in this Section 10.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to
the Seller.
(iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is
received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(i), the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement
under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of
any of its securities for the Company's own account, such written request shall
be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 10.1(ii) rather than Section
10.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such
written request shall be governed by Section 10.1(ii).
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission within 30 days of the
Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause to be declared effective Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other
form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities
for resale and distribution under the Act. The registration statement described
in this paragraph must be declared effective by the Commission within 90 days of
the Closing Date (as defined herein) ("Effective Date"). The Company will
register not less than a number of shares of Common Stock in the aforedescribed
registration statement that is equal to 200% of the Company Shares issuable at
the Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Closing Date or the date of
filing of such registration statement (employing the Conversion Price which
would result in the greater number of Shares), assuming the conversion of 100%
of the Notes. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside
exclusively for the benefit of the Subscriber, and not issued, employed or
reserved for anyone other than the Subscriber. Such registration statement will
be promptly amended or additional registration statements will be promptly filed
by the Company as necessary to register additional Company Shares to allow the
public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the
Registrable Securities. No securities of the Company other than the Registrable
Securities will be included in the registration statement described in this
Section 10.1(iv) except as set forth on Schedule 10.1 hereto, if any.
10.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required
------------------------
by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly
provide to the holders of Registrable Securities ("Sellers") copies of all
filings and Commission letters of comment;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective
until the latest of: (i) twelve months after the latest Maturity Date of a Note;
or (ii) two years after the Closing Date and comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended method
of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any, such number
of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request
in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company
is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which
the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;
(g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter,
all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available,
non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
10.3. Provision of Documents.
------------------------
(a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or a request for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(ii), the Registrable
Securities will be included in a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Section 10.
(b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the
Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and
representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by
it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal
and applicable state securities laws. In connection with each registration
pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) covering an underwritten public
offering, the Company and the Seller agree to enter into a written agreement
with the managing underwriter in such form and containing such provisions as are
customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such
underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment stature.
10.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber
------------------------
agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required
under Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) above is not filed within 60 days after
written request by the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission
within 150 days after such request [or the Filing Date and Effective Date,
respectively, in reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such
other form described in Section 10.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and
within the time periods contemplated by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be
feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly,
if (i) the Registration Statement described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is
not filed within 60 days of such written request, or is not declared effective
by the Commission on or prior to the date that is 150 days after such request,
or (ii) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in
Section 10.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not declared
effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five business
days of receipt by the Company of a written or oral communication from the
Commission that the registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) will
not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections
10.1(i), 10.1(ii) or 10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an
additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of
time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20
consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the
date the Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4 is referred to herein as
a "Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event
shall continue, the Company shall pay, at the Subscriber's option, in cash or
stock at the applicable Conversion Price, as Liquidated Damages to each holder
of any Registrable Securities an amount equal to two (2%) percent per month or
part thereof during the pendency of such Non-Registration Event, of the
principal of the Notes issued in connection with the Initial Offering, whether
or not converted, whether or not converted, then owned of record by such holder
or issuable as of or subsequent to the occurrence of such Non-Registration
Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be due and
payable within five (5) business days after demand in immediately available
funds. In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is demanded from the Company
by the Holder pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Subscription Agreement, then the
Liquidated Damages described in this Section 10.4 shall no longer accrue on the
portion of the Purchase Price underlying the Mandatory Redemption Payment, from
and after the date the Holder receives the Mandatory Redemption Payment. It
shall also be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at any time a Note is
outstanding, there is less than 125% of the amount of Common Shares necessary to
allow full conversion of such Note at the then applicable Conversion Price
registered for unrestricted resale in an effective registration statement.
10.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
--------
Section 10, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky"
laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer
taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and costs of insurance are called
"Registration Expenses". All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling
Expenses". The Seller shall pay the fees of its own additional counsel, if
any. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 10. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration statement under Section 10 shall be borne by the Seller
and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares
sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
10.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
----------------------------------
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning
of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities
was registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any
preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the
final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the
delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person
asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus
would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such
omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by any such Seller, or any such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Seller will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each
person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the gross proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement.
21
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section 10.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 10.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying
party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof
with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and
undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 10.6(c) for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying
party, the indemnified parties shall have the right to select one separate
counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the
defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in the event of joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i)
the Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.6 but it is judicially determined
(by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction
and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal)
that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the
fact that this Section 10.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the Act may be required on the part of the Seller or
controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 10.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities
offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in
any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it
pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10.7. Underwriter Liability. Nothing contained in this Agreement or
----------------------
any document delivered herewith shall require or imply that the Subscriber is or
be an Underwriter as defined in the 1933 Act of 1934 Act, nor a "statutory
underwriter." The Subscriber shall not be required to take any action or assume
any liability or obligation which would or could impose Underwriter or
"statutory underwriter" status or liability on the Subscriber.
11. Offering Restrictions. Except (i) as disclosed in the Reports or

(these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the "Excepted Issuances"), the
Company will not issue any equity, convertible debt or other securities at a
price less than the Conversion Price in effect at the time of issuance or
conversion of such other securities or convertible instruments or which may by
registration, exemption, or otherwise be or become free-trading prior to the
expiration of the sooner of (y) a period equal to 365 days during which the
registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) above has been effective,
or (z) the resale by the Subscriber, pursuant to an effective registration
statement of not less than 85% of the Company Shares issuable upon conversion of
the Notes.

------------------
will deliver to the Subscriber Common Shares of the Company owned by certain
shareholders of the Company, together with signature guaranteed stock powers and
a security interest in certain assets of the Company ("Kiosks"). The foregoing
stock is referred to as "Security Shares." The Security Shares will be held by
the Subscriber pursuant to a Security Agreement. Subscriber will be granted a
security interest in the Security Shares and Kiosks to be memorialized in a
Security Agreement. The shareholders depositing the Security Shares and the
Company will execute Forms UCC-1 to be filed at the Company's expense with such
states and counties designated by the Subscribers. The Company will also
execute all such documents reasonably necessary to memorialize and further
protect the security interest described above. The Company agrees to pay or
reimburse the party who files the Forms UCC-1.
