2. FORM REGISTRATIONS. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, the

application for registration under the Securities Act on Form S-3, or any
applicable form registration statement, of such aggregate number of shares as
would be issued to CMKX if he exercised all Warrants and exercised his
conversion rights as to the entire principal amount of the Loan; provided,
however, that CMKX shall continue to have the option of converting all or any
part of the Loan to Common Stock as provided in the promissory note evidencing
the Loan. At any time after the date of this Agreement, CMKX may request
registration of additional Registrable Shares (if the total number of
Registrable Shares exceeds the number already registered or as to which
registration is in process) by delivering a written notice to the Company to
that effect; PROVIDED, however, that the aggregate offering value of the
Registrable Shares requested to be registered in any such registration must be
reasonably expected to equal at least $250,000. Any registration effected or
requested pursuant to this Section 2, other than a Piggyback Registration (as
that term is defined in Section 3(a)), is referred to herein as a "Form
Registration".
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS
(a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever (i) the Company intends to sell
its securities in a primary offering pursuant to a registration statement filed
with the Commission, or whenever securities of the Company then issued and
outstanding are to be registered under the Securities Act (other than pursuant
to a Form Registration), AND (ii) the registration statement to be filed by the
Company does not relate to securities under any employee benefit plan and is not
with respect to any merger, corporate reorganization or other transaction under
Rule 145 of the Securities Act or any similar rule of the Commission (including
Form S-4 or any form substituted therefor), AND (iii) the form of registration
statement intended by the Company to be used may be used for the registration of
Registrable Shares (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give CMKX
prompt written notice (such notice to be at least 10 business days prior to the
date of filing such registration statement) of the Company's intention to effect
such a registration. The Company will include in such registration, subject to
the terms of this Section 3, all Registrable Shares with respect to which the
Company receives a written request (a "Participation Request") by CMKX for
inclusion therein within 10 days after the Company's notice to CMKX has been
given.
(b) PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration
Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company
and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be
2
99999.9SBY\YOKENS\LAS\65105.2
included in such registration exceeds the number (the "Maximum Primary Number")
which can be sold in such offering without having a material adverse effect on
the price of such securities, the Company will include in such registration, up
to the Maximum Primary Number, (i) FIRST, the securities the Company proposes to
sell, and (ii) SECOND, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such
registration by CMKX.
(c) PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback
Registration is an underwritten secondary registration at the request of holders
of the Company's securities (other than CMKX) and the managing underwriters
advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities
requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number (the "Maximum
Secondary Number") which can be sold in such offering without having a material
adverse effect on the price of such securities, the Company will include in such
registration, up to the Maximum Secondary Number, (i) FIRST, the securities
requested to be included therein by the holders (other than CMKX) requesting
such registration, and (ii) SECOND, the Registrable Shares requested by CMKX to
be included in such registration.
(d) CMKX may not participate in any underwritten Piggyback
Registration unless CMKX (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Shares thereunder on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company, and
(ii) completes and executes all reasonable and customary questionnaires, powers
of attorney, if any, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
which are required under the terms of the underwriting arrangement approved by
the Company.
(e) The Company will have the sole and exclusive right to select
select the managing underwriter(s) to administer any underwritten Piggyback
Registration in which CMKX participates.
4. HOLDBACK. CMKX agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution of Registrable Shares, including any public sale pursuant to Rule
144, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Registrable Shares, during the 10 days prior to and the 90-day period beginning
on the effective date of any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part
of such underwritten registration) in which CMKX was entitled to participate,
unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering or the Company
otherwise agree. During such period, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to Registrable Shares to prohibit transfers in
violation of this Agreement.
5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Whenever CMKX requests that any Registrable
Shares be registered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company will
use reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such
Registrable Shares in accordance with Commission requirements, and pursuant
thereto, the Company will, as soon as practicable:
(a) 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 comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such
registration;
3
99999.9SBY\YOKENS\LAS\65105.2
(b) furnish to CMKX such number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as CMKX
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Shares contemplated by such registration;
(c) use reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Shares under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such
jurisdictions as CMKX reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable CMKX to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares
contemplated by such registration (PROVIDED, however, that the Company will not
be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph, (ii) subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction);
(d) use reasonable efforts to list all such Registrable Shares on
each securities exchange or stock quotation service on which the Common Stock
is then listed;
(e) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(f) notify CMKX, promptly after the Company receives notice
thereof, of the time when such registration has become effective or a
supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has
been filed;
(g) notify CMKX of any request by the Commission for the amending
or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional
information;
(h) prepare and promptly file with the Commission and promptly
notify CMKX of the filing of any amendment or supplement to such registration
statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or
omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred
as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in
effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and
(j) advise CMKX, promptly after the Company receives notice or
obtains knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use reasonable
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if
such stop order should be issued.

permitted by law, CMKX, its officers and directors against all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities which CMKX or any of its officers or directors may
become subject to under the Securities Act or otherwise insofar as such losses,

based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in any registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were
registered under the Securities Act, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto 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, and the Company will reimburse CMKX
and each such officer and director for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, liability, action or proceeding; except insofar as the same arises out of
or is based upon an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such registration
statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by CMKX or any officer or director thereof expressly for use therein or
by CMKX's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus
or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished CMKX
with a sufficient number of copies of the same.
(b) In connection with each registration statement covering any
Registrable Shares, CMKX will furnish to the Company in writing such information

CMKX and the nature of such ownership, (ii) CMKX's authority to sell the
Registrable Shares as contemplated in the registration statement, (iii) the

reasonable and customary information for use in connection with any such
registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers against any losses,
claims, damages and liabilities which the Company and any such officer or

prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto 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, which statement or

99999.9SBY\YOKENS\LAS\65105.2
indemnification and, (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment
a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may
exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the
defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. An indemnifying party that is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party
with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable 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. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 7, an indemnifying party will not be
required to indemnify any indemnified party in respect of any amount paid or
agreed to be paid by such indemnified party in settlement of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities asserted against such indemnified party if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying party.
(d) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
