       Shelf
      Registration

    


    (a)  On
      or
      prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the
      Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of 200% of the
      Registrable Securities and such shares as set forth in Schedule 6(b) on such
      Filing Date for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule
      415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 (except if the Company
      is
      not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form
      SB-2, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form
      in
      accordance herewith) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by the
      Holders) substantially the “Plan
      of Distribution”
      attached hereto as Annex
      A.
      Subject
      to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
      a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
      as
      promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the
      applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such
      Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
      all
      Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold
      or
      may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined
      by
      the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect,
      addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected
      Holders (the “Effectiveness
      Period”).
      The
      Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement
      as of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately
      notify the Holders via facsimile of the effectiveness of a Registration
      Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms
      effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for
      effectiveness of a Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 am Eastern
      Time on the Trading Day after the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase
      Agreement), file a Form 424(b)(5) with the Commission. Failure to so notify
      the
      Holder within 1 Trading Day of such notification shall be deemed an Event under
      Section 2(b).

     

    (b)  If:
      (i) a
      Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the
      Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the
      opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a),
      the
      Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the
      Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in
      accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within three
      Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
      whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will
      not
      be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (iii) prior to its
      Effectiveness Date, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and
      otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect
      of
      such Registration Statement within 15 calendar days after the receipt of
      comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in
      order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a
      Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared
      effective by the Commission by its Effectiveness Date, or (v) after the
      Effectiveness Date, a Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain
      continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required
      to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus
      therein to resell such Registrable Securities for 10 consecutive calendar days
      but no more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period
      (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) (any such failure or breach being
      referred to as an “Event”,
      and
      for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the date on which such Event occurs, or
      for
      purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is
      exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 10 calendar day
      period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such 10
      or
      15 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as
“Event
      Date”),
      then
      in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under
      applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of
      each
      such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such
      date)
      until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an
      amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to
      2%
      of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase
      Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. If the
      Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section
      in
      full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest
      thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is
      permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from
      the
      date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such
      interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant
      to
      the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a
      month prior to the cure of an Event.

       Registration
      Procedures.

    


    In
      connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company
      shall:

    


    (a)  Not
      less
      than three Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement
      or
      any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any
      document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
      reference), the Company shall, (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such
      documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated
      or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of
      such
      Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent
      certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary,
      in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to conduct a reasonable
      investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not
      file a 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 good faith, provided that, the Company
      is
      notified of such objection in writing no later than three Trading Days after
      the
      Holders have been so furnished copies of such documents. Each Holder agrees
      to
      furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to this
      Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling
      Shareholder Questionnaire”)
      not
      less than two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth
      Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials
      in
      accordance with this Section. 

    


    (b)  (i)
      Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
      amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection
      therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously
      effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness
      Period and 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 (subject to the terms of
      this
      Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule
      424;
      (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from
      the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto
      and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete
      copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a
      Registration Statement; and (iv) 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 a Registration Statement
      during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this
      Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof
      set
      forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as
      so
      supplemented.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (c)  If
      during
      the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time
      exceeds 75% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a
      Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably
      practicable but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional
      Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than
      150%
      of the number of such Registrable Securities.

    


    (d)  Notify
      the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant
      to clauses (ii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
      the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as
      promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less
      than
      five Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person)
      confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day following the
      day
      (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
      amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be 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 (the Company shall provide true and complete copies
      thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); and (C)
      with
      respect to a 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 a
      Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of
      the
      issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority
      of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
      covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation 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; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
      financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for
      inclusion therein or any statement made in a 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
      a
      Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
      of a
      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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
      (vi) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with
      respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that,
      in
      the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the
      Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or
      Prospectus; provided that any and all of such information shall remain
      confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public,
      unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; provided,
      further,
      notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential,
      the Holders make no acknowledgement that any such information is material,
      non-public information.

    (e)  Use
      its
      best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal
      of
      (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or
      (ii)
      any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any
      of
      the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest
      practicable moment.

    


    (f)  Furnish
      to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such
      Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial
      statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be
      incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and
      all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously
      furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such

    (g)  Promptly
      deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or
      Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or
      supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in connection with
      resales by the Holder of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this
      Agreement, 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, except after the giving
      on
      any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

    


    (h)  If
      NASDR
      Rule 2710 requires any broker-dealer to make a filing prior to executing a
      sale
      by a Holder, the Company shall (i) make an Issuer Filing with the NASDR, Inc.
      Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASDR Rule 2710(b)(10)(A)(i), (ii)
      respond within five Trading Days to any comments received from NASDR in
      connection therewith, (iii) and pay the filing fee required in connection
      therewith.

    


    (i)  Prior
      to
      any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, 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 the
      Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale
      by
      the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within
      the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each
      registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
      Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably
      necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
      Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company
      shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
      where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax
      in
      any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent
      to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

    


    (j)  If
      requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
      preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
      to
      be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which
      certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement,
      of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be
      in
      such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may
      request.

    (k)  Upon
      the
      occurrence of any event contemplated by this Section 3, as promptly as
      reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s
      good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its
      stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement
      or
      amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a 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 a 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made,
      not misleading. If
      the
      Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (ii) through (vi) of
      Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite
      changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use
      of
      such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use
      of
      the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall
      be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the
      availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment
      of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not to
      exceed 60 days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month
      period.

    


    (l)  Comply
      with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

    


    (m)  The
      Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified
      statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
      such
      Holder and, if required by the Commission, the person thereof that has voting
      and dispositive control over the Shares. During any periods that the Company
      is
      unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of
      the
      Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such
      information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated
      damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled
      and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be
      suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the
      Company.

                to the

                Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses

    5. 
Indemnification

    


    (a)  Indemnification
      by the Company.
      The
      Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify
      and
      hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including
      brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result
      of a
      pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock),
      investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls
      any
      such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
      20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of
      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, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
      (collectively, “Losses”),
      as
      incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement
      of a material fact contained in a 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made)
      not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such
      untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
      such
      Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use
      therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
      Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
      reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use
      in a
      Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any
      amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has
      approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence
      of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(ii)-(vi), the use by such
      Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified
      such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior
      to
      the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). The
      Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or
      assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware.

    (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 or employees of
      such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
      from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based
      solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery
      requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
      of a material fact contained in any 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 not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent,
      that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so
      furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion
      in
      such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1)
      such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding
      such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for
      use
      therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
      Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
      reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use
      in a
      Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex
      A
      hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in
      any
      amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event
      of the type specified in Section 3(d)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an
      outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
      in
      writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt
      by
      such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). In no event shall the
      liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
      amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
      Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
      obligation.

    


    (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 shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought
      (the “Indemnifying
      Party”)
      in
      writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right 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; 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 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; (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 Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe
      that a material 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
      the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate 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. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
      the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of
      any
      pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
      such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
      from
      all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
      Proceeding.

    Subject
      to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable 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 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the
      Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly
      reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses
      applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled
      to
      indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the
      parties.

    


    (d)  Contribution.
      If the
      indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified
      Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses,
      then
      each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
      Indemnified Party, 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 this Agreement, 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.

    


    The
      parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
      pursuant to this Section 5(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.
      Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required
      to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which
      the
      proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
      Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that
      such
      Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
      untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud
      by
      such Holder.

    The
      indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition
      to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
      Parties.

    


    6. Miscellaneous

    


    (a)  Remedies.
      In the
      event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations
      under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in
      addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under
      this
      Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
      performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder
      agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any
      losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
      Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
      specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense
      that
      a remedy at law would be adequate.

    


    (b)  No
      Piggyback on Registrations.
      Except
      as set forth on Schedule
      6(b)
      attached
      hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the
      Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company
      in the initial Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities.
      Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) attached hereto, no Person has any right
      to
      cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any
      securities of the Company. The Company shall not file any other registration
      statements until the initial Registration Statement required hereunder is
      declared effective by the Commission.

    


    (c)  Compliance.
      Each
      Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
      requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales
      of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

    


    (d)  Discontinued
      Disposition.
      Each
      Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon
      receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the
      kind
      described in Section 3(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
      of
      such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until such Holder’s
      receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
      Statement, or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
      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. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that
      the
      use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable. The Company
      agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required
      to
      discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be
      subject to the provisions of Section 2(b).

    


    (e)  Piggy-Back
      Registrations.
      If at
      any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration
      Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall
      determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
      relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under
      the
      Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form
      S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents
      relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
      acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
      connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the
      Company shall send to each Holder a written notice of such determination and,
      if
      within fifteen days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so
      request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement
      all
      or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be
      registered; provided,
      however,
      that,
      the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities
      pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
      144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then
      effective Registration Statement.

    (f)  Amendments
      and Waivers.
      The
      provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may
      not
      be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
      from
      the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing
      and
      signed by the Company and each Holder of the then outstanding Registrable
      Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from
      the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to
      the
      rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights
      of
      other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities
      to
      which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
      however,
      that
      the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented
      except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
      

    


    (g)  Notices.
      Any and
      all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to
      be
      provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
      

    


    (h)  Successors
      and Assigns.
      This
      Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors
      and
      permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of
      each
      Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without
      the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then-outstanding
      Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder
      in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase
      Agreement.

    


    (i)  No
      Inconsistent Agreements.
      Neither
      the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof,
      nor
      shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this
      Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would
      have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement
      or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on
Schedule
      6(i),
      neither
      the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any
      agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities
      to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

    


    (j)  Execution
      and 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. 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.

    (k)  Governing
      Law.
      All
      questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
      of this Agreement shall be determined with the provisions of the Purchase
      Agreement.

    


    (l)  Cumulative
      Remedies.
      The
      remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
      provided by law.

    


    (m)  Severability.
      If any
      term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, 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 commercially 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.

    


    (n)  Headings.
      The
      headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
      not
      limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

    


    (o)  Independent
      Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights.
      The
      obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
      obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible
      in
      any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder.
      Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at
      any
      closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall
      be
      deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint
      venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders
      are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled
      to
      protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising
      out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to
      be
      joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
