(ii) If a registration pursuant to this Section 2(e) involves a public offering and the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company that, in its view, the number of shares of Common Stock, warrants or other shares of Common Stock that the Company and the Initial Investors intend to include in such registration exceeds the largest number of shares of Common Stock or warrants (including any other shares of Common Stock or warrants of the Company) that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such public offering (the "Maximum Offering Size"), the Company will include in such registration, only that number of shares of Common Stock or warrants, as applicable, such that the number of Registrable Securities registered does not exceed the Maximum Offering Size, with the difference between the number of shares in the Maximum Offering Size and the number of shares to be issued by the Company to be allocated (after including all shares to be issued and sold by the Company) among the Company and the Initial Investors pro rata on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities offered for sale under such registration by each of the Company and the Initial Investors. If as a result of the proration provisions of this Section 2 (e)(ii), any Initial Investors is not entitled to include all such Registrable Securities in such registration, such Initial Investors may elect to withdraw its request to include any Registrable Securities in such registration. With respect to registrations pursuant to this Section 2(e), the number of securities required to satisfy any underwriters' over-allotment option shall be allocated pro rata 5 among the Company and the Initial Investors on the basis of the relative number of securities otherwise to be included by each of them in the registration with respect to which such over-allotment option relates. 3.

In connection with any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, (i) potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or (ii) if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party and which can not be presented by counsel to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment or which subjects the Indemnified Party to any continuing obligations. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the 14 relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors or any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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 of the Investors and any underwriters in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the percentage of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6(d), in no event shall any (i) Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under Section 6(d) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor's Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) underwriter be required to undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to the Registration Statement; provided, however, in the event of fraud by the Investor (in the case of (i) above) or underwriter (in the case of (ii) above), there shall be no such dollar amount limitation. (f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity. 15 7. Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), until such time as the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(k) or its equivalent, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to: (a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) (1) of Rule 144; and (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. 8. Assignment. The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by the Investors to any permitted transferee of all or any portion of such securities (or all or any portion of any Preferred Stock or Warrant of the Company which is convertible into such securities) of Registrable Securities only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name, address, and, if applicable, social security or taxpayer identification number of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment, the securities so transferred or assigned to the transferee or assignee constitute Restricted Securities, (d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and (e) the Company has received an opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company of counsel to the Holder reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Registrable Securities may be effected pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. 9. Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) , only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a majority-interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. 16 10. Miscellaneous. (a) A person or entity shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. (b) Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication or delivery required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, and shall be deemed given when so delivered personally or by overnight courier service, or, if mailed, three (3) days after the date of deposit in the United States mails, as follows: (1) if to the Company, to: Diamond Entertainment Corporation 800 Tucker Lane Walnut, California 91789 Attention: President (2) if to the Initial Investors, as set forth in the signature pages of the Securities Purchase Agreement. (3) if to any other Investor, at such address as such Investor shall have provided in writing to the Company. The Company, the Initial Investors or any Investor may change the foregoing address by notice given pursuant to this Section 10(c). (c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. (d) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of Los Angeles or the state courts of the State of California sitting in the City of Los Angeles in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. (e) The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or 17 restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provision, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. (f) The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that constitutes a breach of any of the provisions hereof. Except as previously disclosed to the Investors, the Company is not currently a party to any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any person which conflicts with the Company's obligations hereunder or gives any other party the right to include any securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto. The Company shall not file any registration statement after the date hereof for the resale of any of its securities at any time prior to the 30th day of the filing of the Registration Statement, nor shall the Company cause any registration statement for the resale of its securities to become effective prior to the 30th day after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective. (g) This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants supersede all prior agreements and undertakings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. (h) Subject to the requirements of Section 8 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. (i) All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. (j) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof. (k) The Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to perform its obligations under Section 3, or any delay in such performance could result in direct damages to the Investors and the Company agrees that, in addition to any other liability the Company may have by reason of any such failure or delay, the Company shall be liable for all direct (but not any special, indirect or consequential) damages caused by such failure or delay. 18 (l) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. A facsimile transmission of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto.
