efforts to prepare, and, on or prior to ten (10) days from the date
of receipt of written demand of the Investors (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) (the "Filing Date"), file with the

the Investor's ability to convert the Notes. The Company
acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in the
Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the
maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the
Notes.
b.
Underwritten Offering. if any offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten
offering, the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities subject to such underwritten offering, with
the consent of a majority-in-interest of the Initial Investors,
shall have the right to select one legal counsel and an investment
hanker or bankers and manager or managers to administer the
offering, which investment banker or bankers or manager or managers
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
c.
Payments by the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable.
If the Registration Statement(s) covering the Registrable
Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof is not tiled by the Filing Date or the Company does not
use its best efforts and respond to comments from the SEC regarding
its Registration Statement in a timely manner, or after the
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC,
sales of all of the Registrable Securities cannot be made pursuant
to the Registration Statement, or the Common Stock is not listed or
included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq").

Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX")

hereof, or the Common Stock ceases to be traded on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") or any equivalent
replacement exchange prior to being listed or included for
quotation on one of the aforementioned markets, then the Company
will make payments to the Investors in such amounts and at such
times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(c) as
partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason of any
such delay in or reduction of their 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 pay to
each holder of the Notes or Registrable Securities an amount equal
to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes (and, in the
case of holders of Registrable Securities, the principal amount of
Notes from which such Registrable Securities were converted)
("Outstanding Principal Amount"). multiplied by the Applicable
Percentage (as defined below) times the sum of: (i) the number of
months (prorated for partial months) after the Filing Date and
prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC, provided, however, that there shall he excluded from
such period any delays which are solely attributable to changes
required by the Investors in the Registration Statement with
respect to information relating to the Investors, including,
without limitation, changes to the plan of distribution, or to the
failure of the Investors to conduct their review of the
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(h) below in a
reasonably prompt manner; (ii) the number of months (prorated for
partial months) that sales of all of the Registrable Securities
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the

Company's failure to properly supplement or amend the prospectus
included therein in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

quotation on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap. NYSE or AMEX or
that trading thereon is halted after the Registration Statement has
been declared effective. The term "Applicable Percentage" means two
hundredths (.02). (For example, if the Registration Statement
becomes effective one (1) month after the determination that the
Company has not used its best efforts to respond to comments from
the SEC regarding its Registration Statement in a timely manner,
the Company would pay $5,000 for each $250.000 of Outstanding
Principal Amount. If thereafter, sales could not be made pursuant
to the Registration Statement for an additional period of one (1)
month, the Company would pay an additional $5,000 for each $250,000
of Outstanding Principal Amount.) Such amounts shall be paid in
cash or, at the Company's option, in shares of Common Stock priced
at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) on such payment
date.
d. Piggy-Back
Registrations. Subject to the last sentence of this Section
2(d), if at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration
Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file

offering for its own account or the account of others under the
1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form
S-1, Form 5-4 or Form 5-8 or their then equivalents relating to
equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with stock option or other bona fide, employee
benefit plans), the Company shall send to each Investor who is
entitled to registration rights under this Section 2(d) written
notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after
the effective date of such notice, such Investor shall so request
in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration
Statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities such
Investor requests to be registered, except that if. in connection
with any underwritten public offering for the account of the
Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a
limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
included in the Registration Statement because, in such
underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such
limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the
Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration
Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities
with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion
hereunder as the underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors
seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the
number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such
Investors; provided. however, that the Company shall not
exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first
excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which arc not
entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration
Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the
Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however, that, after
giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion
of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of
other securities having the right to include such securities in the
Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to
inclusion of their securities in such Registration Statement by
reason of demand registration rights. No right to registration of
Registrable Securities tinder this Section 2(d) shall be construed
to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof If an
offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to
registration tinder this Section 2(d) is an underwritten offering,

such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the
Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an
underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters
and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms
and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such
underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, the registration rights of the Investors pursuant to
this Section 2(d) shall only be available in the event the Company
fails to timely tile, obtain effectiveness or maintain
effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

assuming the Variable Conversion Price is the Conversion Price at
such time), without regard to any limitation on the Investor's
ability to convert the interest on the Notes. The Company
