The Convertible Preferred Stock yields a cumulative dividend of 9% per annum based on the stated value of the stock. The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at any time into Common Stock based on a conversion price of $4.50 per share.

(b) The Indemnifying Party further agrees promptly upon demand by each Indemnified Person to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any Indemnifiable Costs and Expenses as they are incurred by it; provided that if the Indemnifying Party reimburses an Indemnified Person hereunder for any expenses incurred in connection with a lawsuit, claim, inquiry or other proceeding or investigation for which indemnification is sought, such Indemnified Person agrees to refund such reimbursement of expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the indemnity provided for in this Article VII is not applicable to such Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement commitments set forth in this Article VII shall apply whether or not an Indemnified Person is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall be in addition to any liability it may otherwise have. (c) The obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall survive the Closing and any repurchase, conversion, exchange or transfer of the Preferred Shares or Warrants and the termination of this Agreement and shall not be extinguished with respect to any Person because any other Person is not entitled to indemnity or contribution hereunder. Section 7.2 Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice from any third party of the commencement of any lawsuit, inquiry or other proceeding or investigation thereof, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party hereunder, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party (x) from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder unless the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby or (y) from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person otherwise than pursuant to this Article VII. Each Indemnified Person shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in a timely manner or (C) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if such Indemnified Person notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Indemnified Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, -24- 25 the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person). 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 or delayed). No Indemnified Person will be required to 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 Person of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party who 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 Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim, as well as one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction. Section 7.3. Contribution. (a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances under which the indemnity provided for in this Article VII is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person, shall have an obligation to contribute, and shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Persons, but also to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Persons in connection with the statement or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that 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 relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Persons shall be determined, if applicable, by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Persons and the Persons' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigation or defending any such claim. (b) The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such paragraph. Section 7.4. Notification. Each party agrees to notify in writing promptly the other party of the commencement of any litigation or proceeding against it or any of its shareholders, officers, directors or agents in connection with the issue of any the Preferred Shares, Warrants or Common Shares. -25- 26 ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS Section 8.1.

ARTICLE III AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY AND OTHER MATTERS 1 TRANSFER OF CAPITAL STOCK. (a) For the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is two years thereafter (the "Restricted Period"), the Existing Shareholders severally agree with the Company, the Investor and with each other Shareholder that they will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any Capital Stock of the Company (or any interest therein), now or hereafter at any time owned by them, except that each Existing Shareholder may Transfer, upon written notice to the Company, the Investor and each other Shareholder, in accordance with applicable law: (i) any Common Stock of the Company pursuant to an Involuntary Transfer; (ii) any Common Stock of the Company for estate planning purposes to such Existing Shareholder's spouse, parents, siblings, children, stepchildren or grandchildren or to a trust which is for the benefit of such Existing Shareholder or such Existing Shareholder's spouse, parents, siblings, children, stepchildren or grandchildren; (iii) during the period from (and including) the Effective Date through (but excluding) the date that is one year thereafter (the "Initial Period"), any Common Stock which does not exceed five percent (5%) of all of the Common Stock held by such Existing Shareholder on the Effective Date; and (iv) during the - 6 - 7 period from (and including) the last day of the Initial Period through (and including) the last day of the Restricted Period, any Common Stock which does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of all of the Common Stock held by such Existing Shareholder on the Effective Date; provided, however, that, in connection with any Transfer permitted under this Section 3.1(a), prior to such Transfer, such Existing Shareholder shall comply with Section 3.1(b) hereof. (b) Any Transfer of Capital Stock of the Company by any Existing Shareholder during the Restricted Period or at any time thereafter to a Related Transferee shall not relieve the transferor of its obligations hereunder and shall only be valid if the Person to whom such Capital Stock is Transferred (a "Transferee"), prior to the Transfer, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as and to the same extent that the transferor was bound by this Agreement immediately prior to such Transfer. Any such Transferee that agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as provided in this paragraph (b) shall be deemed, upon execution and delivery of such agreement, to be a Shareholder hereunder. Each such Transferee shall be entitled to all of the rights under this Agreement to which the transferor was entitled immediately prior to such Transfer. Any purported Transfer without obtaining this agreement by the Transferee shall be deemed void and of no further effect and shall be governed by the provisions of paragraph (c) below. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not apply in connection with a Public Transfer by an Existing Shareholder. (c) In the event a Transfer of any Capital Stock of the Company has taken place or remains in place in violation of the provisions of this Article III, such Transfer shall be void and of no effect, and no dividend of any kind whatsoever nor any distribution pursuant to liquidation or otherwise shall be paid by the Company or the related Shareholder to the Transferee in respect of such Capital Stock (all such dividends and distributions being deemed waived), and any voting rights of such Capital Stock on any matter whatsoever shall remain vested in the transferor. (d) The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall be in addition to, and shall not in any way limit the application of, any other provision of this Agreement. 2 TAG-ALONG RIGHTS. (a) If, at any time, any Existing Shareholder and/or a Related Transferee or Related Transferees of such Existing Shareholder (a "Section 3.2 Transferor") desires to Transfer any of its Common Stock in an amount in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of all of the Common Stock held by such Existing Shareholder on the Effective Date in one transaction or a series of transactions to any Person or Persons (a "Section 3.2 Transferee"), except pursuant to an Exempt Transfer or a Public Transfer, prior to any such Transfer, such Section 3.2 Transferor shall promptly (and in any event at least 20 business days prior to the closing date thereof), provide each Investor Holder (each, a "Prospective Participating Shareholder") with written notice of the proposed Transfer (the "Transfer Notice") containing the following: (i) the name and address of the proposed Section 3.2 Transferee; - 7 - 8 (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be Transferred by such Section 3.2 Transferor; and (iii) the purchase price and other terms and conditions of payment and the closing date for the proposed Transfer (including, when available, a copy of any purchase agreement related thereto). (b) If any of such Prospective Participating Shareholders (each, a "Participating Shareholder") wishes to participate in such Transfer, each such Participating Shareholder may notify the Section 3.2 Transferor by written notice (the "Tag-Along Notice") on or before the expiration of 15 business days following receipt of the Transfer Notice that such Participating Shareholder desires to Transfer to the proposed Section 3.2 Transferee a part of its shares of Capital Stock of the Company (as determined pursuant to the following sentence) on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Tag-Along Notice shall specify the number of shares of such Capital Stock such Participating Shareholder desires to Transfer (the "Tag-Along Amount"); for purposes of making any determination or calculation pursuant to this Section 3.2, but for such purposes only, as of any date of determination or calculation, all of the Capital Stock of the Company held by an Investor Holder shall be deemed to have been fully converted, exercised or exchanged, to the extent applicable, as of such date of determination or calculation. The maximum number of shares of such Capital Stock that each such Participating Shareholder separately shall be entitled to Transfer hereunder shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of such Capital Stock held by such Participating Shareholder at the time of the Transfer Notice by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred to the Section 3.2 Transferee by the Section 3.2 Transferor and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by the Section 3.2 Transferor. If no Prospective Participating Shareholder provides the Section 3.2 Transferor with a Tag-Along Notice within the period specified above, the Section 3.2 Transferor shall be free to sell all or a portion of such Common Stock to the Section 3.2 Transferee in the amount and on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice, subject to paragraph (h) below. If there is any Participating Shareholder(s), the Section 3.2 Transferor may not effect such Transfer unless the Section 3.2 Transferee shall have purchased the Tag-Along Amount or the Reduced Tag-Along Amount (as defined below) from each such Participating Shareholder on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. (c) If the sum (the "Aggregate Shares Offered") of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred to the Section 3.2 Transferee by the Section 3.2 Transferor and (ii) the aggregate Tag-Along Amounts for all Participating Shareholders exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that such Section 3.2 Transferee is willing to purchase, then each such Participating Shareholder shall be obligated to Transfer a number of shares of Common Stock or its equivalent (the "Reduced Tag-Along Amount") equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock which the Section 3.2 Transferee is willing to purchase and a fraction, the numerator of which is the Tag-Along Amount with respect to such Person and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Shares Offered, and the Section 3.2 Transferor shall be obligated to Transfer a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of - 8 - 9 Common Stock which the Section 3.2 Transferee is willing to purchase minus the Reduced Tag-Along Amount or Reduced Tag-Along Amounts for all Participating Shareholders. (d) Any indemnity provided by a Participating Shareholder to the Section 3.2 Transferee in a purchase agreement relating to such Transfer will only relate to the shares of Capital Stock Transferred by it. Any indemnity provided to the Section 3.2 Transferee by the Section 3.2 Transferor will only relate to the shares of Common Stock Transferred by it. (e) The Section 3.2 Transferor and the Participating Shareholders whose shares of Capital Stock are Transferred pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be required to bear their pro rata share, based on the number of shares of Capital Stock included in such Transfer, of the expenses of the transaction including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses. (f) The Company shall, upon request by any Participating Shareholder, issue to such Participating Shareholder one or more stock certificates registered in the names and in the denominations (aggregating in a number equal to the original denomination) requested by such Participating Shareholder, to facilitate any partial sale of shares of any Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2. (g) To the extent that any prospective Section 3.2 Transferee is unwilling or otherwise refuses to purchase Capital Stock from any Participating Shareholder, the Section 3.2 Transferor shall not Transfer to such prospective Section 3.2 Transferee any Common Stock, unless and until, simultaneously with such Transfer, the Section 3.2 Transferor shall purchase such Capital Stock from such Participating Shareholder on the same terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice. (h) Subject to the rights of each Prospective Participating Shareholder, if it has so elected, to participate in the Transfer of Common Stock as provided in this Section 3.2, the Section 3.2 Transferor may, not later than sixty (60) days following delivery to the Prospective Participating Shareholders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a Transfer of Common Stock covered by the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions more favorable to the Section 3.2 Transferee than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any proposed Transfer of any Common Stock by the Section 3.2 Transferor more than sixty (60) days following delivery to the Prospective Participating Shareholders of the Transfer Notice, shall again be subject to the tag-along rights of the Prospective Participating Shareholders and shall require compliance by the prospective Section 3.2 Transferor with the procedures described in this Section 3.2. (i) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of any Prospective Participating Shareholder under this Section 3.2 to participate in one or more Transfers of Common Stock shall not adversely affect its right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.2. - 9 - 10 (j) The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof (except as otherwise set forth herein). (k) This Section 3.2 shall remain in effect only so long as at least 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and like occurrences). 3 NO ISSUANCE OF CAPITAL STOCK. For the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending nine (9) months thereafter, the Company shall not issue or Transfer any of its Capital Stock without the Investor's prior written consent, except for the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock (or, in the case of clause (i) below, options to purchase Common Stock) in connection with (i) the Stock Option Issuance (provided that during such nine (9)-month period, such issuances shall not exceed options to purchase up to 225,000 shares of Common Stock and the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options and provided, further, that no such options or shares of Common Stock may be issued by the Company prior to January 1, 1997), (ii) the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the exercise of the Warrants or (iii) the exercise of warrants or options that are outstanding as of the Effective Date and which are specified in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement. 4 PARTICIPATION RIGHT ON NEW SECURITIES. During the Restricted Period, the Company hereby grants to each of the Investor Holders (collectively, the "Eligible Holders") the right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata share of New Securities (as defined below) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue (the "Participation Right"). Each Eligible Holder's pro rata share, for purposes of this Participation Right, is the ratio of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock then owned by such Eligible Holder to (Y) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities, assuming, in each case but for purposes of this Section 3.4 only, full conversion of all shares of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and full exercise of all then outstanding Warrants and other rights, options and warrants to purchase or acquire Common Stock. This Participation Right shall be subject to the following provisions: (a) "New Securities" shall mean any offering by the Company of any Capital Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not; provided, however, that "New Securities" does not include (i) Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stock Option Issuance; (ii) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants; (iii) Capital Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization, whereby the Company owns more than 50% of the voting power of such corporation; and (iv) Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants or options that are outstanding as of the Effective Date and which are specified in Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement. (b) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Eligible Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price and the general terms and conditions upon which the Company - 10 - 11 proposes to issue the same. Each Eligible Holder shall have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. (c) In the event that the Eligible Holders fail to exercise in full the Participation Right within said twenty (20) business day period, the Company shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell the New Securities respecting which the Eligible Holders' Participation Rights were not exercised at a price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities within said sixty (60) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Eligible Holders in the manner provided above. (d) This Section 3.4 shall not limit in any respect the obligations of the Company under Section 3.3. (e) This Section 3.4 shall remain in effect only so long as at least 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and like occurrences). 5 LEGENDS ON STOCK. Each Capital Stock certificate of the Company held by an Existing Shareholder or any Transferee of an Existing Shareholder shall bear the following legend on the face thereof: "THIS CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 20, 1996, AND NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY IT ARE ASSIGNABLE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERABLE, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY." "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE." Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution under a registration statement of the Capital Stock represented thereby) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the holder of such Capital Stock (which counsel shall be reasonably - 11 - 12 satisfactory to the Company), the Capital Stock represented thereby is not, at such time, required by law to bear such legend. The Company agrees that it will not Transfer on its books any certificate for its Capital Stock in violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

A Registrable Security that has ceased to be a Registrable Security cannot thereafter become a Registrable Security. As used herein, a "Restricted Security" is a Registrable Security which has not been effectively registered under the Securities Act and distributed to any Person in accordance with an effective Registration Statement and which has not been distributed by a Holder to any Person pursuant to Rule 144. - 3 - 4 SECTION 3. DEMAND REGISTRATION. (a) Demand. Upon the written request of the Securityholder or a Holder or Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities and specifying the intended method or methods of disposition thereof (which may include a continuous or delayed offering), the Company will use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Securityholder or such Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that, except as provided below, the Company shall not be obligated to (1) effect more than an aggregate of two (2) demand registrations pursuant to this Section 3; or (2) effect a demand registration unless either (I) the Registrable Securities for which the demand is made constitute at least one-half of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) or (II) the demand is made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities then beneficially owned by the Securityholder or the demanding Holder or Holders, provided such Registrable Securities constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Securities initially issued by the Company (on a Common Stock equivalent basis); and provided further that no Holder (including the Securityholder) shall deliver a request for a demand registration for a period of four (4) months following the last date on which a Registration Statement filed in respect of the previous demand registration, if any, was declared by the SEC to be effective. The number, percentage or kind of shares in clause (2) above shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, exchange, distribution or similar transaction with respect to the shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholder or a Holder or Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) shall be entitled to unlimited additional demand registrations if such additional demand registrations would be eligible for registration on Form S-3 (after the Company qualifies for Form S-3, provided that in the case of any individual such demand registration the aggregate gross proceeds from such S-3 demand registration would exceed $500,000, if all registered shares thereunder were sold); provided, however, that there shall be no more than two (2) such registrations in any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any request for registration pursuant to this Section 3 from the Securityholder or any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within 20 days) give written notice of such request to all other Holders. The Company shall include in the requested registration all Registrable Securities requested to be included by such of the other Holders who shall make such request by written notice to the Company delivered within 30 days of their receipt of the Company's notice. If the Company shall receive a request for inclusion in the registration of the Registrable Securities of additional Holders, it shall promptly so inform in writing the Person or Persons who made the initial request for registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of the proposed public offering advises the Holder or Holders intending to participate in such proposed public offering in writing that the total amount or kind of securities which such Holder - 4 - 5 or Holders intends to include in such proposed public offering is sufficiently large to materially adversely affect the success of the proposed public offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the accounts of all Holders whose securities are included in such Registration Statement shall be reduced (on a pro rata basis in the case of more than one such Holder) to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed public offering to the amount or kind recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters. The Company shall not register any securities other than Registrable Securities in any demand registration effected pursuant to this Section 3(a), except pursuant to Section 3(c) or with the prior written consent of the Securityholder (if it is participating in such offering) or, if the Securityholder is not participating in such offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) being sold pursuant to such offering. A Holder (including the Securityholder) or Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 3 may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration, revoke such request by providing a written notice to the Company revoking such request. The Company shall be required to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to the first demand for registration to be revoked. If a Holder (including the Securityholder) or Holders thereafter shall revoke any demand for registration, such Holder (including the Securityholder) or Holders, at their option, shall either pay all out-of-pocket Registration Expenses with respect to such revoked demand or count such revoked demand as one of the demands for registration to which Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 3. (b) Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement relating to any demand registration pursuant to this Section 3 to become effective as expeditiously as possible; (ii) thereafter keep such Registration Statement effective continuously for the period specified in the next succeeding paragraph and to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof; and (iii) prevent the happening of any event of the kinds described in clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Section 5(a)(ii). A demand registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 will not be deemed to have been effected unless the Registration Statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and remained continuously effective (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement) for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date that is nine (9) months after the effective date of such Registration Statement (subject to extension as provided in the final paragraph of Section 5(a), Section 6(a) and Section 6(b)) and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and the distribution contemplated thereby has been completed; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has become effective, the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or similar order of the SEC or other governmental agency or court (other than by reason of any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit furnished in writing by - 5 - 6 a Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion therein), such registration will be deemed not to have been effected. (c) Inclusion of Securities of Other Approved Holders. The Company and any Other Approved Holder may include its securities in any demand registration effected pursuant to this Section 3 that is not a Shelf Registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter or underwriters of the proposed public offering advises the Holder or Holders intending to participate in such proposed public offering in writing that the total amount or kind of securities which such Holders, the Company and such Other Approved Holders intend to include in such proposed public offering is sufficiently large to materially adversely affect the success of the proposed public offering requested by such Holder or Holders, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the accounts of the Other Approved Holders shall be reduced pro rata among such Other Approved Holders to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed public offering to the amount or kind recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters and, if such reduction results in no securities being offered for the accounts of the Other Approved Holders in such proposed public offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the account of the Company shall be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed public offering to the amount or kind recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters. SECTION 4. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If the Company at any time proposes to file a registration statement with respect to any class of equity securities, whether for its own account (other than in connection with the Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3 or a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or the registration of (A) an employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan or (B) a dividend reinvestment plan) or for the account of an Other Approved Holder (a "Requesting Securityholder"), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to all Holders of Registrable Securities at least 20 days before the anticipated filing date of any such registration statement by the Company, and such notice shall offer to all Holders the opportunity to have any or all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders included in such registration statement. Each Holder of Registrable Securities desiring to have its Registrable Securities registered under this Section 4 shall so advise the Company in writing within 15 days after the date of receipt of such notice (which request shall set forth the amount of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested), and the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities so requested to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as the securities being registered by the Company. Any Holder's request for such inclusion may be withdrawn, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such proposed public offering advises the Company in writing that the total amount or kind of securities which the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company and the Other Approved Holders intend to be included in such proposed public offering is sufficiently large to materially adversely affect the success of such proposed public offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for - 6 - 7 the accounts of Holders of Registrable Securities and the Other Approved Holders shall be reduced pro rata to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount or kind of securities to be included in such proposed public offering to the amount or kind recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters before the securities offered by the Company or any Requesting Securityholder are so reduced. SECTION 5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. (a) General. In connection with the Company's registration obligations pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof, the Company will, as expeditiously as practicable: (i) prepare and file with the SEC a new Registration Statement or such amendments and post-effective amendments to an existing Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the time periods set forth in Section 3(b), provided that no Registration Statement shall be required to remain in effect after all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and distributed as contemplated by such Registration Statement, and provided, further, that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days before filing such Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than any amendment or supplement made solely as a result of incorporation by reference of documents filed with the SEC subsequent to the filing of such Registration Statement, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriters;

cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Company with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or supplement to the Prospectus (it being understood that the Company shall not be deemed to have used its best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective during the applicable period if any action is taken by the Company that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to sell such Registrable Securities during that period unless such action is required under applicable law or is contemplated under the last paragraph of Section 5(a), Section 6(a) or Section 6(b)); (ii) notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly (providing confirmation in writing) (1) when a new Registration Statement, Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any new Registration Statement or post-effective amendment, when it has become effective, (2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (3) of the issuance by the SEC of any comments with respect to any filing, (4) of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (5) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contemplated by paragraph (xi) below cease to be true and correct as of any time they are required to be true and correct, (6) of any suspension of the qualification or registration (or exemption therefrom) of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (7) of the happening of any event which makes any statement of a material fact made in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue or which requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference so that it 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 (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;

In addition, if the board of directors of the Company has requested that the Holders refrain from making public sales or distributions of their Registrable Securities, such board shall, as promptly as practicable following its determination that the Holders may recommence such public sales and distributions, notify such Holders in writing of such determination (but in any event no later than the end of such 90-day period). In the event the Company shall exercise a Material Development Election during a period when a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 is in effect, the time period specified in Section 3(b) during which such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective shall be extended by the number of days during which the Holders are prohibited by the Company from publicly selling or distributing their securities.

The Company shall also indemnify underwriters of the Registrable Securities, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industries professionals participating in the distribution, and their officers, directors, employees, partners, principals, equity holders, advisors, representatives and agents, and each Person who controls such underwriters or other Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities and other specified Persons. This indemnity is in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. (b) Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with such Registration Statement or any Prospectus, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, but without duplication, the Company, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, representatives and agents, and each Person who controls the Company or such other Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and any investment advisor thereof or agent therefor, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in, the Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the same arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, made or omitted, as the case may be, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. - 16 - 17 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party in a timely manner or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). 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 or delayed). No indemnified party will be required to 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. An indemnifying party who 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, as well as one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction. (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that no indemnifying Holder shall be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such indemnifying Holder with respect to the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. The relative fault 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, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this - 17 - 18 Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. 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 misrepresentations. SECTION 9. RULES 144 AND 144A. The Company shall use its best efforts to make publicly available and available to the Holders, pursuant to Rule 144, such information as is necessary to enable the Holders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to that Rule. The Company shall use its best efforts to file timely with the SEC all documents and reports required of the Company under the Exchange Act. The Company shall furnish to any Holder, upon request, a written statement executed on behalf of the Company as to compliance with the current public information requirements of Rule 144. In addition, the Company will provide to any Holder of a Registrable Security, or any potential purchaser of a Registrable Security, upon any such Person's reasonable request, the information required by paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A. SECTION 10. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a demand registration hereunder are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Securityholder (if it is participating in such offering) or, if such Securityholder is not so participating in such offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) included in such offering; provided that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, acting in good faith. (b) No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Nothing in this Section 10 shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the registration of Registrable Securities in any Person otherwise than as set forth herein. SECTION 11. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company (i) except as set forth on Schedule 11 attached hereto, has not previously entered into any agreement or understanding that is still in effect on the date hereof pursuant to which it has granted registration or similar rights to any Person who holds any of its securities and (ii) shall not enter into any agreement or understanding (x) with respect to registration or similar rights on any of its securities with any Person other than an Other Approved Holder or (y) which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. - 18 - 19 SECTION 12. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 12, 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 the Securityholder (if the Securityholder then holds any Registrable Securities) and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on a Common Stock equivalent basis) then outstanding. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified number of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than Holders of Registrable Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required number. SECTION 13. REMEDIES. Each Holder having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically or to recover damages or to exercise any other remedy available to it at law or in equity. The foregoing rights and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein shall not preclude any Person from exercising any other right or remedy provided herein. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

The foregoing shall not limit the rights of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 20. SEVERABILITY.
