The amount of any loss subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated net of any amounts which have been previously recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies or other collateral sources, and the Indemnified Parties hereby covenant that they will not release any such collateral sources from any obligations they may have.  In the event any such insurance proceeds or other payments are not received before any claim for indemnification is paid pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exclusively pursue such collateral sources, provided they do so with reasonable diligence, and in the event they receive any recovery, then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first to reimburse the Indemnified Party for their out of pocket expenses expended in pursuing such recovery, second to refund any payment made which would not have been so paid had such recovery from the collateral source been obtained prior to such payment, and third, any excess to the Indemnified Parties.


6.3

Notice of Claim, Assumption of Defense and Settlement of Claims.


(a)

Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly give notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof to the parties required to provide indemnification (collectively the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnitee shall have knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of action (singly, a “Claim” and hereinafter referred to collectively as “Claims”) which might give rise to a Claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnifying Party stating the nature and basis of said Claim and amount thereof, to the extent known.  A failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and adversely affect Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the Claim.  Each such Indemnification Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Claim and shall, to the extent available to the Indemnitee, include such supporting documentation as shall reasonably be necessary to apprise the Indemnifying Party of the facts giving rise to the Claim.  After the delivery of an Indemnification Notice certifying that the Indemnitee has incurred or had asserted against it any liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses for which indemnity may be sought in accordance with the




terms of this Article VI (the “Damages”), the Indemnitee shall make a claim in an amount equal to the incurred Damages or asserted Damages, as the case may be (which, in the case of any asserted Damages shall include the Indemnitee’s reasonably estimated cost of the defense thereof, hereinafter the “Estimated Defense Costs”) and the Indemnifying party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the Damages for which the Indemnitee has incurred and not been indemnified.  In the event the amount of such Damages are not promptly reimbursed by Indemnifying Party as aforesaid, the amount of such unreimbursed Damages shall accrue interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the applicable prime rate of Citibank, N.A.

(1)

With respect to any third party Claims made subsequent to the Closing, the following procedures shall be observed:

(2)

Promptly after delivery of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a Claim, the Indemnified Party may elect, by written notice to the Indemnitee, to undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.  In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Claim, it shall not, except as provided in Section 6.3(b)(2), be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee after the date thereof, in connection with such defense.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, but not control the conduct of, any such action through counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense.

(3)

Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the third party Claim as provided in Section 6.3(b)(1), or in the event the Indemnifying Party ceases to conduct such defense, the Indemnified Party may defend against the third party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(4)

Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnitee of its election to defend any such action within 30 days of receipt of the Indemnification Notice shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such action.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Claim, its obligations hereunder as to such Claim shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such Claim and to holding the Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities awarded in any such proceeding or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such Claim.

(5)

The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of any such Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no consent of the Indemnitee shall be required if the judgment or proposed settlement (1) involves only the payment of money damages to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose any injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnitee, (2) includes as an unconditional term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice and the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation, and (3) does not by its terms attribute liability to the Indemnitee.




(6)

The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of any proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense hereunder.  Such cooperation shall include: (i) providing the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to all books and records of the Indemnitee to the extent reasonably related to such proceeding, (ii) furnishing information about the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party and their counsel, (iii) making employees available to counsel to the Indemnifying Party, and (iv) preserving the existence of and maintaining all books and records of the Indemnitee or any other Indemnified Party that is an entity that may reasonably be deemed to be potentially relevant to any such proceeding until the proceeding is finally concluded.

6.4

Remedies Cumulative.  The remedies provided to an Indemnified Party herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude an Indemnified Party from asserting any other rights or seeking any other remedies against an Indemnifying Party or his or its respective heirs, successors or assigns.  The asser­tion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON COMPETITION

7.1

Confidentiality.  At all times after the Closing, the parties hereto shall retain in strictest confidence, and shall not disclose to any third parties or use for their benefit (other than in order to fulfill the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or for the benefit of others any confidential information comprising or related to the other parties hereto and their affiliates including, without limitation, trade secrets, customer lists, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, respecting the business of Eyecandy, Purchaser or any affiliate thereof.  Confidential Information shall not include information which (i) is or becomes part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement (ii) was known to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the other party (iii) is independently received by the receiving party without the use of confidential information or (iv) is explicitly approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing party.  In the event that the receiving party is legally required to disclose any confidential information, the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party of such requirement and, if requested by the disclosing party, shall reasonably cooperate in the disclosing party’s efforts to prevent or limit such disclosure.

7.2

Non Competition.  From and after the date hereof to and including the date which is two years after the date hereof, the Sellers shall not directly, or indirectly, (engage in a business or enterprise (either as proprietor, partner, employee, agent, consultant, or controlling shareholder) in the development, operation or marketing of a business that Purchaser deems to be a competitor of Purchaser, its subsidiaries or Eyecandy.




7.3

Enforceability.

(a)

 It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of Article VII shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  If any particular provision or portion of Article VII shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, Article VII shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of this subsection in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.  Each of the Sellers agrees that it would be difficult to measure the damages to Purchaser and its affiliates from the breach by either of the Sellers of the provisions of Article VII, that injury to Purchaser from such breach would be impossible to calculate, and that monetary damages would therefor be an inadequate remedy; accordingly, each of the Sellers agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies they might have, to injunctions or other appropriate orders to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damages.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Purchaser from pursuing any other remedies for such breach or threatened breach.

(b)

The undertakings and covenants of the Sellers contained in Article VII are an integral part of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and the consideration paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be consideration not only for the Eyecandy Securities but also for such undertakings and covenants.


ARTICLE VIII

WHEREAS, Purchaser, Eyecandy, Inc.(the “Company”) and Sellers have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ( the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire from the Sellers all of the securities of the Company in exchange for shares of common stock of Purchaser (the “Broadcaster Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to act as escrow agent pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement with respect to the Escrowed Interests.


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

contemplated above.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the duties to be performed by the Escrow Agent hereunder are of a ministerial nature only, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error, omission or action taken by it unless such error, omission or action was the result of the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful default.

5.

(a)

Resignation.  The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving five days' notice of such resignation to the Sellers and Purchaser.  Thereafter, such original Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder except to hold the Escrowed Interests.  In such event the original Escrow Agent shall refrain from taking any action until it shall receive joint written instructions from Sellers and Purchaser designating a successor Escrow Agent.  Upon receipt of such instructions, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrowed Interests to such successor Escrow Agent and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may at any time after its resignation deposit the Escrowed Interests with a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.

Expenses of the Escrow Agent.  The Sellers and Purchaser shall reimburse the Escrow Agent for all necessary expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or made by it in connection with carrying out its duties hereunder.  The liability of the Sellers and Purchaser under this Section 6 shall be joint and several, but as between Sellers and Purchaser, the Sellers agree to pay one-half of such expenses, disbursements and advances, and Purchaser agrees to pay the other half of such expenses, disbursements and advances.

7.

Waivers and Modifications.  This Escrow Agreement may be amended, modified, extended, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by all of the parties hereto.  The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by any party of the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Escrow Agreement as a condition to such party's obligation hereunder shall release or affect any liability resulting from such breach, and no waiver of any nature, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, a waiver of any other condition or a waiver of any breach of any other condition, term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Escrow Agreement.

8.

VOTING TRUST AGREEMENT


THIS AGREEMENT made as of this 1st day of October, 2008, by and between Sonia Hu and Chun-Wei Shi, individuals residing at 411 Theodore Fremd Avenue, Rye New York, 10580  (together referred to as the “Stockholders”), and Martin R. Wade, III, an individual residing at 421 Berkley Road, Stone Harbor, New Jersey 08247 (hereinafter referred to as the "Voting Trustee").


W I T N E S S E T H


WHEREAS, the Stockholders, Eyecandy, Inc and Broadcaster, Inc (the “Company”) have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Stockholders will together be issued a minimum of 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of Broadcaster, Inc. (“the Company”). (All of the shares set forth in this paragraph together with any additional shares of the common stock of the Company owned by the Stockholders are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares.”  Shares shall not include any Shares sold in a transaction approved by the Voting Trustee.);


WHEREAS, as an inducement for the Company  to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Sellers have given the Voting Trustee the right and power to vote the Shares;


NOW, THEREFORE, the Sellers and the Voting Trustee do hereby agree as follows:


1.

Voting Rights and Powers.  Until such time as the Voting Trustee mails a notice indicating his desire to terminate this Agreement or all of the Shares held by the Stockholders are sold in a transaction approved by the Voting Trustee, the Voting Trustee shall have full, exclusive and unqualified right and power to vote, and to execute consents with respect to, the Shares from and after the date hereof, for any purpose, whether ordinary or extraordinary, including all matters as to which a vote or consent of shareholders may be required by statute or otherwise; provided, however, that in the event that the Sellers obtain the approval of the Voting Trustee to sell any of the Shares the Voting Trustee’s right to vote any shares sold shall terminate but shall remain with respect to those Shares not sold.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Voting Trustee may vote the Shares for or in ratification of, or against, the election of directors including the election of himself as a director, the appointment of auditors, any amendment to the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws, any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, or any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  The Sellers shall be bound by any such vote as if made by them directly and shall have no right to demand an appraisal of the Shares in any circumstances or object to any such transaction, all of which rights are hereby waived.  




2.

Issuance of Voting Trust Certificates


(a)

Solely for purposes of granting the Voting Trustee the right and power to vote the Shares, the Sellers shall assign and transfer to the Voting Trustee all of the Shares and concurrently with the execution of this Agreement shall deposit the certificates evidencing such Shares with the Voting Trustee.  


(b)

2.

Registration Rights.





(a)

Piggyback Registration.  If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public for its own account or for the account of other security holders (except registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), the Company shall include in such registration the Registrable Securities to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the Holder of such Registrable Securities so registered (“Piggyback Registration Rights”); provided, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant to this Section 2 and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company shall give written notice to the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. The Company shall give at least 10 days written notice to each Holder prior to the filing of the Registration Statement of its intention to file the Registration Statement. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2 without thereby incurring any liability to the Holders.

(b)

If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(a).  In such event the right of the Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon the Holders’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the Registrable Securities may be sold, at the time of such registration, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 then the Company shall have no obligation to register the Registrable Securities.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting.  The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all stockholders of the Company in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement.  If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter.  Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.


(c)

Holdback Agreements.  If any registration of Registrable Securities shall be in connection with an underwritten public offering, each Holder agrees, provided that all other security holders of the Company whose securities are included in the Registration Statement similarly agree, not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Registrable Securities, and not to effect any such public sale or distribution of any other equity security of the Company or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering) during the thirty (30) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such registration).


(d)

Exceptions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof for the time periods described in Section 2(e) hereof upon the occurrence of any of the following:


(i)

The Company shall have previously entered into an agreement or letter of intent contemplating an underwritten public offering on a firm commitment basis of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and the managing underwriter of such proposed public offering advises the Company in writing that in its opinion such proposed underwritten offering would be materially and adversely affected by a concurrent registered offering of Registrable Securities (such opinion to state the reasons therefore);





(ii)

During the two (2) month period immediately preceding such request, the Company shall have entered into an agreement or letter of intent, which has not expired or otherwise terminated, contemplating a material business acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries whether by way of merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, acquisition of securities or otherwise;


(iii)

The Company is in possession of material nonpublic information that the Company would be required to disclose in the Registration Statement and that is not, but for the registration, otherwise required to be disclosed at the time of such registration, the disclosure of which, in its good faith judgment, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, prospects or competitive position of the Company;


(iv)

The Company shall receive the written opinion of the managing underwriter of the underwritten public offering pursuant to which Common Stock has been registered within the three (3) month period prior to the receipt of a registration request that the registration of additional Common Stock will materially and adversely affect the market for the Common Stock (such opinion to state the reasons therefore); or


(v)

At the time of receipt of a registration request, the Company is engaged, or its board of directors has adopted by resolution a plan to engage, in any program for the purchase of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and, in the opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the requesting Holders, the distribution of the Common Stock to be registered would cause such purchase to be in violation of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act.


(e)

Period of Delay.  If an event described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 2(d) shall occur, the Company may, by written notice to the Holders, delay the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities to be covered thereby for a period of time not exceeding 60 days.  If an event described in clause (v) of Section 2(d) shall occur, the filing of a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities to be covered thereby shall be delayed until the first date that the Registrable Securities to be covered thereby can be sold without violation of Regulation M of the Exchange Act.


3.

Registration Procedures.


In connection with the registration obligations of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall:


(a)

prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the Registration Statement, the Company will furnish to the Holders covered by such Registration Statement (the “Selling Holders”), Holders’ legal counsel and the underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders’ Counsel and the underwriters, if any, and the Company will not, unless required by law, file any Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which Selling Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities (the “Objecting Party”) shall object, pursuant to notice given to the Company prior to the filing of such amendment or supplement (the “Objection Notice”).   The Objection Notice shall set forth the objections and the specific areas in the draft documents where such objections arise.  The Company shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Objection Notice to correct such deficiencies to the satisfaction of the Objecting Party, and will notify each Selling Holder of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;


(b)

as promptly as practicable prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period required pursuant to Section 2; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act




applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Selling Holders set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;


(c)

as promptly as practicable furnish to any Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, without charge, such number or conformed copies of such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto and such number of copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such Selling Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Selling Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to Holders’ Counsel copies of all documents proposed to be filed at least three (3) Business Days prior to the filing thereof, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel;


(d)

on or prior to the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective, register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder, Holders’ Counsel or underwriter reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period which the Registration Statement is required to be kept effective; and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify to do business as a foreign corporation or as a broker-dealer in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;


(e)

cause the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;


(f)

as promptly as practicable notify each Selling Holder, Holders’ Counsel and any underwriter and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information to be included in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or otherwise, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the issuance by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities under state securities or “blue sky” laws or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (v) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that they will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;


(g)

use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, and, if one is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment;





Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this Section 3, shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 3 or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to, deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.  In the event that the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods for which a Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Selling Holder shall have received (i) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2(f) or (ii) the Advice.


4.

Registration Expenses.


(a)

All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of, or compliance with, the provisions hereof, including without limitation, all Commission and securities exchange or NASD registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities), printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of the Company’s officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered, if any, on each securities exchange on which  securities issued by the Company are then listed, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and its independent certified public accountants (including the expense of any special audit or “cold comfort” letters required by, or incident to, such performance), Securities Act liability insurance (if the Company elects to obtain such insurance), reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration, fees and expenses of other Persons retained by the Company in connection with each registration hereunder (but not including any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities) are herein called “Registration Expenses.”


(b)

The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 except as otherwise set forth therein.  Other than as specifically provided for in Section 2(a) hereto, all expenses to be borne by the Holders in connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 (including, without limitation, all underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to such sale of Registrable Securities) shall be borne by the participating Holders pro rata in relation to the number of Shares of Registrable Securities to be registered by each Holder.


5.

Indemnification; Contribution.


(a)

Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnity and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Holders, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, any Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided that, in the event that the Prospectus shall have been amended or supplemented and copies thereof as so amended or supplemented, shall have been furnished to a Holder prior to the confirmation of any sales of Registrable Securities, such indemnity with respect to the Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of such Holder if the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability and who purchased the Registrable Securities from such holder did not, at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person, receive a copy of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented.





(b)

Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities.  In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the name and address of such Holder and such other information as may be reasonably required for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and agrees to indemnity, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement relates to any information with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement; provided, however, that such Holder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, such Holder has furnished in writing to the Company information expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to the Company.  In no event shall the liability of any Selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


(c)

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person will claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to the provisions hereof and, unless in the judgment of counsel of such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim.  Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld).  No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.  If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus such local counsel, if any, as may be reasonably required in other jurisdictions) with respect to such claim, unless in the judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.  For the purposes of this Section 5(c), the term “conflict of interest” shall mean that there are one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or such other indemnified parties, as applicable, which different or additional defenses make joint representation inappropriate.


(d)

Contribution.  If the indemnification from the indemnifying party provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 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.





(e)

If indemnification is available under this Section 5, the indemnifying parties shall indemnity each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 5(a) and (b) without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 5.


6.

Transfer of Rights.


The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted pursuant to the provisions hereof may not be transferred or assigned by any Holder to a transferee or assignee.


7.

Amendment


Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of each Holder.
