(a)            Parent intends to file, or has filed a registration statement with the Commission pertaining to certain shares of Parent Common Stock other than the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with or as a result of the Merger (the “ Initial Registration Statement ”) and will use best efforts to cause the Commission to declare the Initial Registration Statement effective as soon as practicable.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Trigger Date ” shall be the first date upon which (i) the Initial Registration statement is declared effective by the Commission and no stop order or other restriction on trading the shares has been imposed by the Commission; (ii) sufficient contractual lockup agreements of the officers, directors and any significant stockholders (including those associated with the Initial Registration Statement) have expired such that 50% of the Parent’s outstanding capital stock is freely tradable and not subject to restrictions on resale (calculated on a fully diluted basis, including all options, warrants, and other rights to acquire capital stock of the Parent outstanding at such time); (iii) Parent has completed a bona fide arm’s length equity financing in one or a series of related transactions of at least $10.0 million; and (iv) at least 50% of the Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger has been registered with the Commission for resale and such shares are not subject to any restrictions on resale; provided that, not withstanding the foregoing, if the Trigger Date has not occurred prior to March 23, 2008, at any time following the such date a majority in interest of the Stockholders may establish a Trigger Date by notice to Parent.  In the event that no Trigger Date has occurred as of March 23, 2009, subject to the remainder of this sentence, the Trigger Date shall be March 23, 2009 (the “ Trigger Date Limit ”); provided, however , that such Trigger Date Limit shall be extended by the sum of (x) the number of days beyond January 15, 2008 the Initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, plus (y) the number of days following effectiveness and prior to the date of calculation of the Trigger Date Limit during which the use of the Initial Registration Statement is either suspended by the Commission or is unavailable because the Initial Registration Statement contains a an untrue statement of fact or omits to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (such number of days referred to as the “ Delay Period ”).
 

4


(b)            Beginning on the Trigger Date, Parent will compute the average daily closing price for the Parent Common Stock for the 60 trading days following the Trigger Date during which there is no stop order or similar prohibition on trading in Parent Common Stock on the applicable exchange or OTC bulletin board (the “ Subsequent Market Price ”), and compare that to the Average Closing Price.  If the Subsequent Market Price is less than the Average Closing Price, then Parent will promptly issue additional shares (the “ Additional Shares ”) to the Stockholders, pro-rata, such that the total dollar value of the Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(iv) and 1.5(a)(v) hereof, plus the Additional Shares to be issued pursuant to this Section 1.8(b), equals $5,115,000, calculated based on the Subsequent Market Price.  In the event that the parties disagree as to the calculation of the Subsequent Market Price, an independent national accounting firm shall be engaged, and the determination by such accounting firm shall be binding on all parties absent fraud or manifest error.
