(iii) Notify each Selling Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and subject to Section 5(a)(iv) of these Registration Rights Provisions and except during the time the Company may delay a registration for an Excusable Reason, 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 and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such Registrable Common Stock has been disposed of in accordance with the method of disposition set forth in such registration statement, subject to Section 2(e) of these Registration Rights Provisions. (iv) If requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Common Stock included or to be included in the registration statement being filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or 3 of these Registration Rights Provisions, before filing any registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Common Stock, one firm of counsel for the Holders designated by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Common Stock included or to be included in the registration statement (the "Holders Counsel"), and provides Holders Counsel a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such filing). The Company shall not file any registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must be afforded an opportunity to review prior to the filing of such document, if the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement, the Holders Counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object. Any registration statement, when declared effective by the Commission or when subsequently amended (by an amendment which is declared effective by the Commission) or any prospectus in the form included in the registration statement as declared effective by the Commission or when subsequently supplemented will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (v) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, and in any event shall, within thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness, use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend the registration statement in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, (vi) Furnish to each seller of Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement such reasonable number of copies of such drafts and final conformed versions of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including, if requested, one copy of all exhibits and any documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of such drafts and final versions of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in writing. 6 (vii) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Common Stock under such other securities or blue sky laws of such states or other jurisdictions of the United States of America as the sellers of Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement shall reasonably request in writing, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this Section 5(a)(vii) be obligated to be so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in such jurisdiction or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(c) Each Holder agrees that as of the date that a final prospectus is made available to it for distribution to prospective purchasers of Registrable Common Stock it shall cease to distribute copies of any preliminary prospectus prepared in connection with the offer and sale of such Registrable Common Stock.

Underwritten Offerings. (a) If the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 3 of these Registration Rights Provisions and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company shall, if requested by any Requesting Holders, request that such underwriters include all of the Registrable Common Stock to be offered and sold by such Requesting Holders among the securities of the Company to be distributed by such underwriters; provided, that, if the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to the Requesting Holders) that if all the Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such registration (together with all other shares of Common Stock of other stockholders of the Company requested to be so included pursuant to "piggyback" rights granted to such stockholders) were so included, in its opinion, the number and type of securities proposed to be included in such registration would exceed the number and type of securities which could be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number and type of securities which the Company is advised by the managing underwriter can be sold in such offering, (i) first, securities that the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account and (ii) second, securities held by any person exercising demand registration rights, and (iii) third, Registrable Common Stock requested to be registered by Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 3 of these Registration Rights Provisions and Common Stock of any other stockholders of the Company having such registration rights who request registration as aforesaid (other than stockholders referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 6(a)), pro rata, among such holders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be registered by all such holders. 7 (b) Any Requesting Holder may withdraw its request to have all or any portion of its Registrable Common Stock included in any such offering by notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a copy of a notice from the managing underwriter pursuant to Section 6(a) of these Registration Rights Provisions. (c) The Holders of Registrable Common Stock to be distributed by underwriters in an underwritten offering contemplated by Section 6(a) of these Registration Rights Provisions, shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such underwriters and any such Holder, at its option, may require that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders. No such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except that each such Holder shall be required to make representations, warranties and agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder's Registrable Common Stock and such Holder's intended method of distribution. The Holders whose Registrable Common Stock is being sold to the underwriters shall appoint an attorney-in-fact who shall be authorized to negotiate with the underwriter on behalf of such Holders and to execute the underwriting agreement and related documentation on their behalf.

Information that (i) is or becomes available to a Holder of Registrable Common Stock from a public source, (ii) is disclosed to a Holder of Registrable Common Stock by a third-party source who has the right to disclose such information shall not be deemed to be confidential information for purposes of these Registration Rights Provisions. Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officer, directors and counsel from and against any loss, liability, damage or expense which they may incur as a result of any breach of the provisions of this Section 7(b). 8. Indemnification. (a) In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) or 3 of these Registration Rights Provisions, the Company shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless, each Holder and seller of any Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder or seller, and their respective directors, officers, partners, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), which are collectively referred to as "Losses," arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by the Company contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose (or based upon written information furnished by the Company) filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any of the Securities or other Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being referred to as a "Blue Sky Application"); or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof, and further provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission contained in any Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the person asserting any such loss, claims any of, damage, or liability purchased any of the securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person who controls such Holder or other Person), if a copy of the prospectus was not delivered to such person with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such security to such person. The indemnify provided for in this Section 8(a) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive any transfer of the Registrable Shares by the indemnified party. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. 9 (b) In connection with any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) or 3 of these Registration Rights Provisions in which a Holder has registered for sale Registrable Common Stock, each Holder or seller of Registrable Common Stock shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents, each other Person, if any, who controls the Company and each other seller and such seller's directors, officers, stockholders, partners, employees, agents and affiliates from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in a Blue Sky Application, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state in any such Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the same was made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The indemnify provided for in this Section 8(a) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive any transfer of the Registrable Shares by the indemnified party. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. (c) Within five (5) business days after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) of these Registration Rights Provisions of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 8 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, unless such indemnifying party has otherwise received actual notice of the action at least thirty (30) days before any answer or response is required by the indemnifying party in its defense of such action, but will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof; provided, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and either (i) the indemnifying party or parties agree, or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the indemnifying parties, representation of both the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties by the same counsel is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct because of actual or potential conflicting interests between them, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defense and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action. The indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (x) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in each jurisdiction which counsel is approved by indemnified parties (whether pursuant to this Agreement or other agreements if the claim relates to the same or similar allegations) holding a majority of the shares as to which indemnification is claimed), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall an indemnifying party be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement, effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, of any claim or action against an indemnified party. 10 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) and (b) of these Registration Rights Provisions in respect of any Losses, then, in lieu of the amount paid or payable under said Section 8(a) or (b), the indemnified party and the indemnifying party under said Section 8(a) or (b) shall contribute to the aggregate Losses (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating the same) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the prospective sellers of Registrable Common Stock covered by the registration statement which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, with respect to the statements, omissions or action which resulted in such Loss or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and such prospective sellers, on the other hand, from their sale of Registrable Common Stock; provided, that, for purposes of this clause (ii), the relative benefits received by any prospective sellers shall be deemed not to exceed (and the amount to be contributed by any prospective seller shall not exceed) the amount received by such seller. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations, if any, of the Selling Holders of Registrable Common Stock to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the relative value of their respective Registrable Common Stock covered by such registration statement and not joint. In addition, no Person shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or Losses effected without such Person's consent. 9. Registration Rights to Others. Nothing in these registration rights provisions shall restrict the Company from granting registration rights to others. 10. Restrictions on Sale. Each Stockholder agrees that he will not publicly transfer any of the shares of Registrable Common Stock during the eighteen (18) months following the closing date pursuant to the preferred stock purchase agreement dated June 2, 2006, by and among the Company, Barron Partners, LP, JCAR Ltd., Ray Rivers and Steve Mazur (the "Purchase Agreement"), or such shorter period as may be provided in the Purchase Agreement.
