(a)           As promptly as possible after the Closing Date, and in any event prior to the earlier of (1) the 10th calendar day following the date the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and (2) January 15, 2007 (the “Mandatory Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or, if eligible, on Form S-3 for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares for resale by, and for the account of, each Investor as an initial selling stockholder thereunder (the “Mandatory Registration Statement”).  The Mandatory Registration Statement shall permit the Investors to offer and sell, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, any or all of the Registrable Shares.  The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mandatory Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible but in no event later than

2

the date that is 60 calendar days following the filing date of the Mandatory Registration Statement (or 90 calendar days following the filing date in the event the staff of the SEC decides to “review” the Mandatory Registration Statement) (the “Mandatory Effective Date”) (including filing with the SEC, within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Mandatory Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act (an “Acceleration Request”), which request shall request an effective date that is within three (3) Business Days of the date of such request).  The Company shall notify each Investor in writing promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) after the Company’s submission of an Acceleration Request to the SEC.  The Company shall be required to keep the Mandatory Registration Statement continuously effective (including through the filing of any required post-effective amendments) until the earliest to occur of (i) the date after which all of the Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold and (ii) the second (2nd) anniversary of the effective date of the Mandatory Registration Statement; provided, that in any case such date shall be extended by the amount of time of any Suspension Period (as defined below) (the “Effectiveness Period”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to keep the Mandatory Registration Statement effective after the date on which the Investor may sell all Registrable Shares then held by the Investor without restriction under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.  Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the Mandatory Registration Statement and, upon such withdrawal, the Investors shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Mandatory Registration Statement (or any prospectus relating thereto).

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, if the Company shall furnish to the Investors a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that the Board has made the good faith determination upon the advice of counsel (i) that the continued use by the Investors of a Registration Statement for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto would require, under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, premature disclosure in a Registration Statement (or the Prospectus relating thereto) of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company, its business or prospects or any proposed material transaction involving the Company, (ii) that such premature disclosure would be materially adverse to the Company, its business or prospects or any such proposed material transaction and (iii) that it is therefore necessary to suspend the use by the Investors of, or the filing of, a Registration Statement (and the Prospectus relating thereto), then the right of the Investors to use a Registration Statement (and the Prospectus relating thereto) for purposes of effecting offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto or the filing of any Registration Statement shall be suspended for a period (the “Suspension Period”) not greater than forty-five (45) consecutive Business Days and not more than ninety (90) Business Days during any consecutive twelve (12) month period.  During the Suspension Period, the Investors shall not offer or sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon a Registration Statement (or the Prospectus relating thereto).  The Company agrees that, as promptly as possible, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day, after the consummation, abandonment or public disclosure of the event or transaction that caused the Company to suspend the use of or delay the filing of a Registration Statement (and the Prospectus relating thereto) pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Company will as promptly as possible lift any suspension, provide the Investors with revised Prospectuses, if required, and will notify the Investors of their ability to effect offers or sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to or in reliance upon the Registration Statement.

(c)           It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to register the Registrable Shares for the account of an Investor pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 3 that such Investor furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Shares held by it, and the method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Investor’s Registrable Shares.

3

(d)           If (i) the Mandatory Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Mandatory Filing Date, or (ii) the Mandatory Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by the Mandatory Effective Date (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, referred to as “Event Date”), then on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Shares then held by such Investor assuming for such purposes that such calculation is based on a fully converted basis.  The parties agree that (1) in no event will the Company be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement in excess of 1% of the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Investors in any 30-day period and (2) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to an Investor under this Agreement shall be twelve percent (12%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.  If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Investor, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.  The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.  Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, the Investors’ sole remedy at law for the failure of the Company to file a Mandatory Registration Statement and cause such Mandatory Registration Statement to become effective in accordance with Section 2(a) hereof shall be the liquidated damages described in this Section 2(d).

3.             “PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION”.

(a)           If at any time during the Effectiveness Period any Registrable Shares are not able to be resold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, and the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, whether as a result of an offering for its own account or the account of others (but excluding any registrations to be effected on Forms S-4 or S-8 or other applicable successor Forms), on a Registration Statement that is to be filed prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall, each such time, give to the Investors twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of its intent to do so, and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and shall offer such Investors the opportunity to include in such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Shares as each such Investor may request.  Upon the written request of any Investor given to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of any such notice by the Company, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Shares of such Investor, to the extent requested to be registered, subject to Section 3(b).

(b)           If a registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter shall advise the Company that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock requested by the Investors to be included in such registration is likely to affect materially and adversely the success of the offering or the price that would be received for any shares of Common Stock offered in such offering, then, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to include in such registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration for the account of any stockholder that has registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the stockholders listed on Schedule II hereto, (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration for the account of any stockholder that has registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated February

4

9, 2005, between the Company and the stockholders listed on Schedule III hereto, (iii) third, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration for the account of the Investors, pro rata among the Investors on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock that each of them has requested to be included in such registration, (iv) fourth, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration for the account of any other stockholders of the Company, pro rata among such stockholders on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock that each of them has requested to be included in such registration and (v) fifth, any shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration for the account of the Company.

(c)           In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares, the Company shall not be required under this Section 3 or otherwise to include the Registrable Shares of any Investor therein unless such Investor accepts and agrees to the terms of the underwriting, which shall be reasonable and customary, as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (which underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares).

4.             OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.  In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a)           as expeditiously as practicable (i) furnish to each Investor copies of all documents filed with the SEC in connection with such registration at least two (2) business days prior to their being filed with the SEC (and provide the Investors with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents), (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of such Investor, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and (iii) notify the Investors of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC and use reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

(d)           Promptly notify the Investors of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in or relating to a Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or the occurrence of any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and, thereafter, the Company will as promptly as possible prepare (and, when completed, promptly give written notice to each Investor) a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that upon receipt of such notification from the Company, the Investors will not offer or sell Registrable Shares pursuant to such Prospectus until the Company has notified the Investors that it has prepared a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus and delivered copies of such supplement or amendment to the Investors (it being understood and agreed by the Company that the foregoing proviso shall in no way diminish or otherwise impair the Company’s obligation to as promptly as possible prepare a Prospectus amendment or supplement as above provided in this Section 4(d) and deliver copies of same as provided in Section 4(h) hereof), and it being further understood that, in the case of the Mandatory Registration Statement, any such period during which the Investors are restricted from offering or selling Registrable Shares shall constitute a Suspension Period.

(b)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor, severally (as to itself) and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and all other Investors against any Losses to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person or other Investor may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereto) solely arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or solely arise out of or relate to the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) hereof, such Investor will reimburse on demand any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling Person, or other Investor in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses, provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of liability of such

9

Investor under this Section 7 shall be limited to the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) actually received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement; and provided, further, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b) or 7(e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Investor against which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c)           As promptly as possible after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the threat, assertion or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that, the failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the threat, assertion or commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the indemnifying party.

(d)           If any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 7, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 7.  Subject to the foregoing, an indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Company.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding

(e)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is applicable by its terms but unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Losses, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall, subject to the maximum aggregate liability of any Investor as set forth in Section 7(b), contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative faults of such indemnifying party and indemnified party 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 or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative 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 referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in

10

Sections 7(a), 7(b), 7(c) and 7(d), any legal or other fees, charges 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.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

(f)            The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 are in addition to any liability that any indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party.

8.             REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.  With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; (iii) as long as any Investor owns any Registrable Shares, to furnish in writing upon an Investor’s request in writing to the Company a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Investor a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in writing to the Company by the Investor in availing such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Shares without registration, and (iv) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of a Registration Statement, including any successor or substitute forms, or the use of Rule 144.

9.             TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Each Investor may assign or transfer any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to the extent a transfer of the Registrable Shares is permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement with respect to the Registrable Shares, provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to such assigning or transferring Investor.  Upon any such, and each successive, assignment or transfer to any permitted assignee or transferee in accordance with the terms of this Section 9, such permitted assignee or transferee shall be deemed to be an “Investor” for all purposes of this Agreement.

10.           ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and it also supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

11.           MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)           This Agreement, and any right, term or provision contained herein, may not be amended, modified or terminated, and no right, term or provision may be waived, except with the written consent of (i) the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares and (ii) the Company; provided that any amendment or modification that is materially and disproportionately adverse to any particular Investor (as compared to all Investors as a group) shall require the consent of such Investor.

(b)           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of laws concepts which would

11

apply the substantive law of some other jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns and transferees, provided that the terms and conditions of Section 9 hereof are satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time any Investor (including any successors or assigns) shall cease to own any Registrable Shares, all of such Investor’s rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

(c)           Any notices, reports or other correspondence (hereinafter collectively referred to as “correspondence”) required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be sent by postage prepaid first class mail, overnight courier or facsimile transmission, or delivered by hand to the party to whom such correspondence is required or permitted to be given hereunder. For purposes of the notifications and distributions of documents by the Company contemplated by Section 4 of this Agreement, the Investors expressly agree and consent to the receipt of such notifications and distributions by electronic mail at the discretion of the Company.  The date of giving any notice shall be the date of its actual receipt.

(d)           The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, remedies at law will be inadequate, and each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties hereto and to such appropriate injunctive relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the parties, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

(e)           This Agreement may be executed in a number of counterparts.  All such counterparts together shall constitute one Agreement, and shall be binding on all the parties hereto notwithstanding that all such parties have not signed the same counterpart.  The parties hereto confirm that any facsimile copy of another party’s executed counterpart of this Agreement (or its signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original thereof.

12

(f)            Except as contemplated in Section 7 hereof, this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder or debt holder of the Company) other than the parties hereto.

(g)           Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Investors in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Mandatory Registration Statement other than the Registrable Shares.  The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Shares are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 11(g) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.

(h)           If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent of, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

(i)            This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder without the consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares.
