In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

        2.3.    Exclusions. The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2 (without limiting any other provisions of this Section 2 to that effect):

Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within twenty (20) days after delivery of the above-described notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing specifying the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.

          3.2.2.     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders pro-rata, based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis.

        3.3.    Right to Terminate Registration.

          4.2.5.     If the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2, an officer’s certificate signed by order of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Shelf Registration Statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement for a period of not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 4; provided, that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, or

          4.3.1.     In addition to any suspension rights under subsection 4.3.2 below, upon the happening of any pending corporate development, public filing with the SEC or similar event, that, in the judgment of the Company’s Board, renders it advisable to suspend the use of the Prospectus or upon the request by an underwriter in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities, the Company may, on not more than two (2) occasions for not more than thirty (30) days on each such occasion, suspend use of the Prospectus, on written notice to each Holder (which notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended period of suspension, if known), in which case each Holder shall discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement or Prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus are distributed to the Holders or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that sales of Registrable Securities under the applicable Prospectus may be resumed and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporate or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. The suspension and notice thereof described in this Section 4.3 shall be held by each Holder in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed by such Holder.

          4.3.2.     Subject to subsection 4.3.3 below, in the event of: (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the Registration Period for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, or (iv) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the registration statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Holders (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing (which notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended period of suspension, if known), and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Holders will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement or Prospectus (a “Suspension”) until the Holders’ receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders.

          4.3.3.     Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Holders may sell Registrable Securities under the registration statement, provided that the selling Holder arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Registrable Securities to the extent such delivery is required by applicable law.

          6.1.1.     Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to thirty (30) days (and in the case of registration pursuant to Section 4 one hundred during the Registration Period) or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto.

          6.1.2.     Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above.

          6.1.3.     Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

          6.1.4.     Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

          6.1.5.     In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.

          6.1.6.     Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

          6.1.7.     Use its reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

        7.2.     The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2 if, due to the operation of subsection 2.2, the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.

8.     INDEMNIFICATION.

        In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2, 3 or 4:

        8.1.     To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its affiliates, the partners, officers, directors and shareholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Holder, its affiliates, partners, officers, directors, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

- 8 -



        8.2.     To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers, directors, shareholders, legal counsel and accountants for the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s its affiliates, partners, directors, shareholders or officers, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder or any person who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay as incurred any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8.2 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

        8.3.     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, shall, to the extent materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, relieve such indemnifying party of its liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.

        8.4.     If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

- 9 -



        8.5.     The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this Agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, 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 to such claim or litigation.

        8.6.     The indemnification provisions of this Section 8 shall not be in limitation of any other indemnification provisions included in any other agreement.

9.     ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS; TRANSFER OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.

        9.1.     The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned by a Holder to any transferee or assignee of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder, that acquires at least 100,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and other recapitalization events); provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all provisions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

        9.2.     In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, such Holder must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a certificate of subsequent sale reasonably satisfactory to the Company, so that ownership of the Registrable Securities may be properly transferred. The Company will cooperate to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (unless otherwise required by applicable law) representing Registrable Securities sold.

10.     AGREEMENT TO FURNISH INFORMATION.

        Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

11.     RULE 144 REPORTING.

        11.1.     With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements) agrees to use its best efforts to:

          11.1.1.     Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

          11.1.2.     File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

          11.1.3.     So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
