Registration.

a.

Initial Mandatory Registration.  The Company shall prepare, and file with the SEC, the Initial Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable Securities, which Initial Registration Statement shall also include the shares issued in the Private Offering as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement.  The Lender shall be treated equally to and have the same rights with respect to the registration of the Initial Registrable Securities as the investors in the Private Offering will have as to the shares sold in the Private Offering, and all filing deadlines and reminders set forth in the Subscription Agreement for the benefit of the investors in the Private Offering will apply to and be for the benefit of the Lender.  By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.

b.

Additional Registrations.  At the request of the Lender, the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on a Registration Statement hereunder.  To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such

6

NY:1316208.10

Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC.  In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e).  Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.  Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Lender) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline.  By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.

c.

Other Securities.  The Lender acknowledges and agrees that the shares of Common Stock issued to the investors in the Private Offering and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Private Offering will be included in the Initial Registration Statement.   If the Company advises the Lender and the investors in the Private Offering in writing that the total number of securities to be included in such registration exceeds the amount that can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering without delaying or jeopardizing the success of such offering (including the price per share of the securities to be sold), then the amount of securities to be offered for the account of the Lender and the investors in the Private Offering shall be reduced pro rata on the basis of the relative number of securities requested to be included in such registration by each.  In no event shall the Company include any securities other than the Registrable Securities and the foregoing securities of the investors in the Private Offering in the Initial Registration Statement, and in no event shall the Company include any securities other than the Additional Registrable Securities and any of the foregoing securities of the investors in the Private Offering that were not able to be included in the Initial Registration Statement as provided above in any Additional Registration Statement, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

d.

Legal Counsel.  Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Lender shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Winston & Strawn LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Lender.  The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

e.

Ineligibility for Form S-3.  In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Lender and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

7

NY:1316208.10

f.

Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount.  The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the conversion and/or redemption of the Amended Note and such calculation shall assume that the Amended Note is then convertible into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Amended Note), assuming the initial outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note remains outstanding through the scheduled maturity date and assuming no conversions or redemptions of the Amended Note prior to the scheduled maturity date.

g.

Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.  If (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the respective Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the respective Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (ii) on any day after the Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or to maintain the listing of the Common Stock (a “Maintenance Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to the Lender by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the applicable shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall, on the 91^st day following the Closing Date or the 61^st day following the initial filing of the Registration Statement, as applicable, and each 121^st day thereafter, as applicable, issue to the Lender warrants (“Registration Delay Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares and Warrant Shares (if the Warrant is required to be issued pursuant to the Loan Restructuring Agreement) (“Registration Delay Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price and on the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors in the Private Offering pursuant to Section 10.c of the Subscription Agreement (which Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Lender).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Registration Delay Warrants shall be

8

NY:1316208.10

issuable pursuant to this Section 2(g) if (A) the relevant failure is a result of an SEC review of the applicable Registration Statement where the SEC comments relate solely to the application of Rule 415 by the SEC or (B) the relevant failure is a result of a force majeure and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to issue to the Lender Registration Delay Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Shares and the Warrant Shares (if the Warrant is required to be issued pursuant to the Loan Restructuring Agreement) (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise thereof).  The Company shall use its best efforts to include the sale of the Registration Delay Warrants and the Registration Delay Warrant Shares in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and any amendments or supplements thereto.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, at the Lender’s option, any Registration Delay Warrants issuable hereunder may include a limitation on the exercise of the Registration Delay Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Lender, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.90% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, and that the Lender shall have the right to increase or decrease such amount from time to time to any other percentage with sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice.

3.

Related Obligations.

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a.

The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline).  The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Lender may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Lender shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”).  The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.  The term “best efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date  that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the Company receives the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request.  The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a

9

NY:1316208.10

Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by the SEC.

b.

The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC or by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, any amendment of any of the foregoing or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or the date on which updated information is required to be included in such Registration Statement pursuant to Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC.

c.

The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects.  The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Lender, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto.  The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by the Lender of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and the Lender of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

f.

i.

k.

6.

Indemnification.

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

a.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Lender, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls the Lender within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”).  Subject to Section 6(c), the

15

NY:1316208.10

Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):  shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d).  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Lender pursuant to Section 10.

b.

In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Lender is participating, the Lender agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, and each investor in the Private Offering with shares covered by such Registration Statement (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Lender expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), the Lender shall reimburse the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that the Lender shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Lender as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Lender pursuant to Section 10.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties shall be limited to the net amount received by the Lender from the sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement less the amount of any other claims, damages or liabilities paid by the Lender in connection with the Lender’s sale of such Registrable Securities.

c.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the

16

NY:1316208.10

commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Persons or Indemnified Parties to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Lender.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

d.

The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e.

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to  (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

f.

The Company shall not permit any Subscription Agreement to be modified or amended without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

17

NY:1316208.10

7.

Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:  (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

8.

Reports Under the 1934 Act.

With a view to making available to the Lender the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Lender to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to:

a.

make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b.

file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c.

furnish or make available to the Lender, so long as the Lender owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act or confirm in writing that the Lender can sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Lender to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

d.

At any time beginning on the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities can be sold either pursuant to a Registration Statement or may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall, on the date on which such Public Information Failure occurs, and each 30^th day thereafter, as applicable, issue to the Lender warrants (the “Public Information Failure Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares and Warrant Shares (if the Warrant is required to be

18

NY:1316208.10

issued pursuant to the Loan Restructuring Agreement) (the “Public Information Failure Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price and on the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors in the Public Offering pursuant to Section 10.c of the Subscription Agreement (whether or not warrants are issuable thereunder).  The Company shall use its best efforts to include the sale of the Public Information Failure Warrant Shares in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and any amendments or supplements thereto.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, at the Lender’s option, any Public Information Failure Warrants issuable hereunder may include a limitation on the exercise of the Public Information Failure Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Lender, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.90% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, and that the Lender shall have the right to increase or decrease such amount from time to time to any other percentage with sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice.

e.

In the event (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of any Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) 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, Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Amended Note, Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant (if required to be issued pursuant to the Loan Restructuring Agreement) or Additional Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of any Additional Warrant for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, or (iv) of any event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of such Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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, then the Company shall deliver (which delivery may occur electronically) a certificate in writing to the Lender (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Lender will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to such  Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Lender’s receipt of copies (which may be provided electronically) of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus.  In the event of any Suspension, the Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the use of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Lender.  In the event that any Suspension or Suspensions pursuant to clauses (i) and/or (ii) above are in effect for an aggregate of more than

19

NY:1316208.10

fifteen (15) days in a ninety (90)-day period, or any Suspension or Suspensions pursuant to clause (iii) above is in effect for an aggregate of more than thirty (30) days in a ninety (90)-day period, or any Suspension or Suspensions are in effect for an aggregate of greater than forty-five (45) days in any 360-day period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”), then, on the 16th, 31st or 46th day of each such Suspension Period, as applicable, and on each 30th day thereafter while such applicable Suspension is in effect, issue to the Lender a warrant (the “Suspension Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares and Warrant Shares (if the Warrant is required to be issued pursuant to the Loan Restructuring Agreement) (“Suspension Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price and on the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors in the Private Offering pursuant to Section 11.c of the Subscription Agreement (which Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Lender), until such Suspension terminates.  In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Lender, the Lender shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 8(e).

9.

Certain Covenants.

a.

Reporting Status.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, until the date on which the Lender shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities (the “Reporting Period”), or such earlier date as a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended Note) shall occur, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

b.

e.

Additional Issuances of Securities.  From the date hereof until the date when all Registrable Securities are freely tradeable without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Trigger Date”), and except as provided in Section 2(c) with respect to any securities of investors in the Private Offering that were not able to be included in the Initial Registration Statement as provided in Section 2(c), the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, file any registration statement with the SEC other than a Registration Statement.  From the date hereof until the Trigger Date, and except pursuant to the Private Offering, the Company shall not, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (ii) be party to any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing.

10.

Assignment of Registration Rights.

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Lender to any transferee of all or any portion of the Lender’s Registrable Securities if:  (i) the Lender 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

21

NY:1316208.10

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) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Loan Restructuring Agreement.

11.

Board Observer Rights.

a.

The Company shall permit one designee appointed by the Lender (the “Board Observer”) to serve as an observer and attend all meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors.  All costs and expenses (including travel) incurred by the Board Observer in connection with his or her attendance at meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be reimbursed by the Company to such Board Observer within three (3) Business Days after such Board Observer’s request for such reimbursement.  The Company shall give any such Board Observer, at the same time, on the same basis and in the same form as provided to the members of the Board of Directors, (i) notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors and (ii) copies of any materials or documents to be presented, discussed or used at such meetings.  The Board Observer shall be entitled to consult with, and make proposals and furnish advice to, the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the officers of the Company to take such proposals or advice seriously and give due consideration thereto, provided, that nothing herein is intended to require compliance with any such proposal or advice or to impose liability for any failure so to comply.  Except to the extent access to such information could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, the Board Observer shall be provided with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and forms of consents in lieu of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors at the same time or times as such notices, minutes, consents or forms are issued or circulated by or to, or such other material is provided to, the members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

b.

The Board Observer may be excluded from any meetings of the Board of Directors, and any meeting materials relating to the same may be redacted accordingly before being furnished to the Board Observer, if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, (i) the subject matter to be discussed at such meeting (or the portion thereof from which it proposes to exclude the Board Observer) relates to disputes or negotiations relating to the Company and the Lender in respect of this Agreement, the Loan Restructuring Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure, and to cause its Board of Directors to ensure, that any withholding of information or any restriction on attendance is strictly limited only to the extent necessary as set forth in the preceding sentence.  If, as a result of the death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise, the person designated by Lender pursuant to this Section 12 shall no longer serve as the Board Observer, the Lender shall be entitled to designate another individual to fill such capacity and serve as the Board Observer.

22

NY:1316208.10

c.

The Board Observer will be subject to and comply with all rules, practices and procedures imposed by law, the applicable Principal Market and the Company’s corporate governance, confidentiality and other employee policies, including without limitation maintaining the confidentiality of all nonpublic information, refraining from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material, nonpublic information and generally complying with securities and disclosure rules and regulations.  The Company is under no obligation to disclose publicly material nonpublic information that is made available to the Lender or the Board Observer, and as a result, the Lender and the Board Observer may not be able to trade in the Company’s securities for indefinite periods of time when in possession of material nonpublic information.  

d.

The rights of Lender to select a Board Observer pursuant to this Section 10, and all related obligations of the Company with respect thereto, shall terminate as of such time as the Lender beneficially owns less than 5% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

12.

Amendment.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Lender.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12 shall be binding upon the Lender and the Company.

13.

Miscellaneous.

a.

A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

b.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions other than Section 5-1401 of New York’s General Obligations Law) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

e.

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

f.

This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Loan Restructuring Agreement) and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or

h.

The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

i.

This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

j.
