2. Resale Registration.
 
(a) On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a “resale” Registration Statement providing for the resale of all
Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415.  The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 (or another
appropriate form in accordance herewith and with the Securities Act and the
rules promulgated thereunder).  Such Registration Statement shall cover to the
extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common
Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with
respect to the Registrable Securities.  The Company shall use commercially

in any event prior to the Effectiveness Date, and to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is
the earlier of (x) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement have been sold or (y) the date on which the Registrable
Securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as
determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter,
addressed to the Company’s transfer agent to such effect (the “Effectiveness
Period”).  If at any time and for any reason an additional Registration
Statement is required to be filed because at such time the actual number of
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares exceeds the number of shares of Registrable
Securities remaining under the Registration Statement, the Company shall have
thirty (30) Business Days to file such additional Registration Statement, and
the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such additional
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as
possible, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after.
 
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, in the
event the Commission does not permit the Company to register all of the
Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement because of the Commission’s
application of Rule 415 (a “415 Notice”), the Company shall, within ten (10)
days of receipt of the 415 Notice, register in the Registration Statement such
number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission, provided,
however, that the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration
Statement or any subsequent registration statement shall be determined in the
following order: (i) first, the Warrant Shares shall be registered on a pro rata
basis among the Purchasers, (ii) second, the Conversion Shares shall be
registered on a pro rata basis among the Purchasers, and (iii) third, any
securities of the Company included or to be included in such Registration
Statement pursuant to piggyback or demand registration rights shall be
registered on a pro rata basis.  In the event the Commission does not permit the
Company to register all of the Registrable Securities in the initial
Registration Statement, the Company shall file subsequent Registration
Statements to register the Registrable Securities that were not registered in
the initial Registration Statement as promptly as possible and in a manner
permitted by the Commission.  For purposes of this Section 2(b), “Filing Date”
means with respect to each subsequent Registration Statement filed pursuant
hereto, the later of (i) thirty (30) days following the sale of substantially
all of the Registrable Securities included in the initial Registration Statement
or any subsequent Registration Statement and (ii) six (6) months following the
effective date of the initial Registration Statement or any subsequent
Registration Statement, as applicable, or such earlier date as permitted by the
Commission.  For purposes of this Section 2(b), “Effectiveness Date” means with
respect to each subsequent Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, the
earlier of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day following the filing date of such
Registration Statement (or in the event the Commission reviews the Registration
Statement, the one hundred twentieth (120th) day following such filing date) or
(B) the date which is within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the
Commission informs the Company (i) that the Commission will not review such
Registration Statement or (ii) that the Company may request the acceleration of
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and the Company makes such
request; providedthat, if the Effectiveness Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
any other day which shall be a legal holiday or a day on which the Commission is
authorized or required by law or other government actions to close, the
Effectiveness Date shall be the following Business Day.
 
3. Registration Procedures.
 
                      In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:
 
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission, on or prior to the applicable Filing
Date, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or another appropriate form in
accordance herewith and with the Securities Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) (which, subject to any comments of the Commission, shall contain a
plan of distribution substantially as set forth on Exhibit A hereto) and in
accordance with applicable law, rules, regulations and Commission policies, and
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however,
that not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Holders copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such
Holders.  The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such
Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in writing within
three (3) Business Days of their receipt thereof.
 
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and, subject to Section
2(b), prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration
Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the
Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or
amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in
force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as
possible, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days, to any comments
received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and
complete copies of all material correspondence from and to the Commission
relating to the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company
shall not provide the Holders with any portion of such correspondence that in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company constitutes material non-public
information or that is otherwise competitively sensitive; (iv) file the final
prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act no later than 9:00 a.m.
Eastern Time on the second Business Day following the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission; and (v) comply in all
material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the
Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities as promptly as possible (and,
in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three (3) days prior to such filing,
and in the case of (iii) below, on the same day of receipt by the Company of
such notice from the Commission): (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed,
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of
such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any
request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority
for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation or threatening of any
Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of 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 or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, 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 light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
 
(d) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
obtain the withdrawal of, as promptly as possible, (i) any order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the
qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction.
 
(e) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, one copy of the Prospectus
or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or
supplement thereto; and subject to the provisions of Sections 3(e) and 3(k), the
Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement thereto.
 
(f) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders
in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such
registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale
under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United
States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period
and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject
the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject.
 
(g) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement, which certificates, to the extent permitted by the
Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws, shall be
free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be
in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may reasonably
request in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities.
 
(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi), as
promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an 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,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(i) Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
relating to the Registration Statement to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or
any other securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, quoted or traded.
 
(j) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission and make generally available to its security holders all
documents filed or required to be filed with the Commission.
 
(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) there is
material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Board”) determines not to be in the Company’s best interest
to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, (ii)
there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the
acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar
transaction) available to the Company which the Board determines not to be in
the Company’s best interest to disclose, or (iii) the Company is required to
file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to incorporate the
Company’s quarterly and annual reports and audited financial statements on Forms
10-Q and 10-K, then the Company may (x) postpone or suspend filing of a
registration statement for a period not to exceed sixty (60) consecutive days or
(y) postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement for a period
not to exceed sixty (60) consecutive days; provided that the Company may not
postpone or suspend effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section
3(k) for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any 360 day period;

changes in the information furnished to the Company pursuant hereto.

delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption

Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities

the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated
by Section 3(h), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use
of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
 
5. Registration Expenses.
 
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this
Agreement by the Company, except as and to the extent specified in this Section

sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The fees and expenses referred to
in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
(A) with respect to filings required to be made with the OTC Bulletin
Board and/or each other securities exchange or market on which Registrable

6. Indemnification.
 
(a) Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, notwithstanding any

each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’
fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or
relating to any violation of securities laws by the Company or untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form
of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon
information about the plan of distribution or regarding such Holder or such
other Indemnified Party furnished or approved in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein.  The Company shall notify the Holders promptly
of the institution, written threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b) Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and
employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
officers, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred,
arising out of or based upon (i) any breach of this Agreement by such Holder and
(ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information (including the plan of distribution) so furnished
or approved in writing by such Holder or other Indemnifying Party to the Company
specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such
Prospectus.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Holder shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount as does not
exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any Proceeding shall be brought
or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom
indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of
all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, 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.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party, and such parties shall have been advised by counsel
that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if
such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party and
indemnity has been sought hereunder, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

     All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees
and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10)
Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of
whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined
that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is
due but unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a
governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its
terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall 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, statements or
omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken
or 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, statement or
omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c), any
reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.  In no
event shall any selling Holder be required to contribute an amount under this
Section 6(d) in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon sale of
such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
giving rise to such contribution obligation.
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding 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 misrepresentation.

7. Rule 144.  Until such time as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold
without restriction pursuant to Rule 144, as long as any Holder owns shares of
Common Stock, Warrants or Registrable Securities, the Company covenants to
timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after
the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  Until
such time as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144, as long as any Holder owns shares of  Common Stock,
Warrants or Registrable Securities, if the Company is not required to file
reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and make publicly available in
accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and
quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such
financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that
would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby,
in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made
under the Exchange Act; provided that the provisions of this sentence shall be
of no further force and effect in the event of any sale of the Company or
substantially all of its assets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(f) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall
become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign
the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with
the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original
thereof.
 
(g) Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
 
(h) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
(i) Headings.  The caption headings of the sections of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be, nor should they be
construed as, a part of this Agreement and shall be given no substantive effect.

approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is
required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates
(other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such
Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such
Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent
or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
 
(k) Aggregation of Stock.  All securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall
be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any
rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons may apportion such
rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.
 
(l) Additional Investors.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Company issues additional shares of the Company’s CommonStock,
any purchaser of such shares of Common Stock and Warrants may become a party to
this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature
page to this Agreement, and thereafter shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for all
purposes hereunder.  No action or consent by the Purchasers shall be required
for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Purchaser, so long as such
additional Purchaser has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations
as a “Purchaser” hereunder.
 
(m) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto
hereby irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or
indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement, shall be brought solely in a

parties hereto waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient
forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam
jurisdiction with respect thereto.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR

EXHIBIT A

Plan of Distribution
 
The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which shares of our common stock are traded or in
private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The
selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when
disposing of shares:
 
●  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;

 
●  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate
the transaction;

 
●  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for
its account;

 
●  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;

 
●  
privately negotiated transactions;

 
●  
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
●  
a combination of any of these methods of sale; and

 
●  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (“Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this
prospectus.  The selling security holders have the sole and absolute discretion
not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the
purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
 
The selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements.  If a selling security holder defaults
on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in
excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
 
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these
sales.  Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on
the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Any broker-dealers or agents
that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this
prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the
material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this
prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part.
 
We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the
registration of the shares being offered under this prospectus.  However, each
selling security holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts,
commissions and similar selling expenses they incur.
 
We and the selling security holders have agreed to indemnify one another against
certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this
prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
