ARTICLE 6



Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act



6.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses.



(a) Except for such times as the Company may be required to
suspend the use of a prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, the Company will:



(1) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and
file with the SEC a Registration Statement;



(2) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date;



(3) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective until the earliest of (i) when all Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act, or (ii) such time as all Shares purchased by the Purchasers have been sold;



(4) so long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares owned by the Purchasers, furnish to the Purchasers with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to
each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such reasonable number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by
the Purchasers; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver copies of prospectuses to the Purchasers shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable assurances from the Purchasers that the Purchasers
will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of such prospectuses;



10

(5) use commercially reasonable efforts to file documents required of the Company for normal Blue Sky
clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchasers; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which the Company is not now so
qualified or has not so consented; and



(6) bear all expenses
in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 6.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchasers or
underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchasers, if any.



(b) In the event the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the Closing Date for a Purchaser, the Company shall pay to such Purchaser liquidated damages in a cash amount equal to one thirtieth of one percent (1/30 of 1%) of the Purchase Price paid
by such Purchaser for each day after such one hundred twentieth (120th) day that the Registration Statement is not
declared effective; provided, however, that such fees in the aggregate shall in no event exceed eight percent (8%) of the Purchase Price. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages be due hereunder if the
Registration Statement is not declared effective due to a pending confidential treatment request submitted to the SEC by the Company. In such an instance, the Company shall have ten (10) Trading Days following the disposition of the confidential
treatment request to have the Registration Statement declared effective without the accrual of liquidated damages.



(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, following the 30th Trading Day following the effective date of the Registration
Statement, the Companys obligations hereunder to keep a registration statement continuously in effect under the Securities Act shall be suspended (a Suspension Period) if, in the good faith judgment of the Companys Board of
Directors, it is advisable to suspend the use of the Prospectus included therein for a discrete period of time due to pending material corporate developments or similar material events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the
Company believes that public disclosure would be prejudicial to the Company or its stockholders; provided, that the Registration Statement shall be suspended for a total of no more than two times or for a period of more than twenty (20) days in any
twelve (12) month period. Immediately after the end of any Suspension Period under this Section 6.1(c), the Company shall take all actions that may be reasonably necessary (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the
effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Purchasers to publicly resell their securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.



(d) Each Purchaser will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution, attached hereto as Exhibit C.

6.2 Restrictions on Transferability.



(a) Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the
Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.1, or pursuant to Rule 144 of
the Securities Act or pursuant to a written opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that registration is not required in connection with the proposed transfer; whereupon the holder
of such securities shall be entitled to transfer such securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company. Each certificate evidencing the securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate
restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.7.

Purchaser hereby covenants that such Purchaser will not sell any Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the Suspension Period set forth under Section 6.1(c).

precedential impact or effect on the business or financial condition of the indemnified party without the indemnified partys prior written consent. Whether or not the indemnifying party chooses to so defend or prosecute such claim, both
parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith.

9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, which are incorporated herein)
constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Purchasers and supersedes any prior understanding or agreement among them respecting the subject matter hereof. Except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor the
Purchasers make any representation, warrant, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.



9.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by authorized representatives of the Company
and each Purchaser.



9.5 No Waiver. No waiver of any
provision hereof will be valid or binding on a party hereto unless such waiver is in writing and signed by or on behalf such party. The delay or failure of any party to enforce at any time for any period the provisions of or any rights deriving from

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect against any party, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall only apply to such party in the specific jurisdiction where such judgment shall be made, and the validity, legality, and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, except that this Agreement shall not be reformed in any way that will deny to any party the essential benefits of this Agreement,

shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the
issuance of such replacement securities.

9.11 Independent Nature of Purchasers Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. The decision
of each Purchaser to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or
any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be
acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it
shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiations of this
Agreement.

EXHIBIT C



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION



The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling 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 resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | privately negotiated transactions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | short sales;
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a combination of any such methods of sale; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.



The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.



Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is
customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions,
commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.



C-1



---

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the
shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an
amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under
this prospectus.



The selling stockholders also may transfer
the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to
time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.



The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.



We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of
the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.



The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with
any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are
notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this
prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.



The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.
