    (ii) Additional
      Registrable Securities.
      Upon
      the written demand of the Investor and upon any change in the Warrant Price
      (as
      defined in the Warrant) such that additional shares of Common Stock become
      issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall prepare and file
      with the SEC one or more Registration Statements on Form SB-2 or amend the
      Registration Statement filed pursuant to clause (i) above, if such Registration
      Statement has not previously been declared effective (or, if Form SB-2 is not
      then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is
      then
      available to effect a registration for resale of such additional shares of
      Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), subject to the Investors’ consent)
      covering the resale of the Additional Shares, but only to the extent the
      Additional Shares are not at the time covered by an effective Registration
      Statement. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable
      under the 1933 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
      Additional Shares. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement
      thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall
      be
      provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investor and their counsel
      prior
      to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the
      Additional Shares is required to be filed under this Section 2(a)(ii) and is
      not
      filed with the SEC within twenty (20) Business Days of the request of any
      Investor or upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section
      2(a)(ii), the Company will pay to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not
      as
      a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such
      Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following
      the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which
      no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Additional Shares. Such
      payments shall be in partial compensation to the Investor, and shall not
      constitute the Investor’s exclusive remedy for such events.    

     

    (b)  Expenses.
      The
      Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including
      filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and
      expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale
      under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of
      one
      counsel to the Investors and the Investors’ reasonable expenses in connection
      with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of
      underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry
      professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being
      sold.

     

    (c)  Effectiveness.

     

    (i) The
      Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration
      Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify
      the Investor by facsimile or e-mail after any Registration Statement is declared
      effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any
      related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition
      of the securities covered thereby. If (A)(x) a Registration Statement covering
      the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC within ninety
      (90) days after the Filing Deadline, or (y) a Registration Statement covering
      Additional Shares is not declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days
      following the time such Registration Statement was required to be filed pursuant
      to Section 2(a)(ii) or (B)
      after
      a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot
      be
      made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including without
      limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the
      Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of the Investor to sell
      the
      Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions and except
      as
      excused pursuant to subparagraph (ii) below, then
      the
      Company will make payment to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as
      a
      penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such
      Investor for each 30- day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following
      the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the
      “Blackout Period”). Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the
      Investor, and shall not constitute the Investor’s exclusive remedy for such
      events. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -3-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (ii) For
      not
      more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than
      forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay
      the
      disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, by
      suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated
      by this Section containing such information, the disclosure of which at the
      time
      is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of
      the
      Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a)
      notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without
      the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such
      Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public
      information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing
      to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed
      Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay
      as promptly as practicable.

     

    3. Company
      Obligations.
      The
      Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration
      of
      the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant
      thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

     

    (a)  use
      commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
      effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate
      upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered
      by
      such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and
      (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
      Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”) and
      advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has
      expired;

     

    (b)  prepare
      and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the
      Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the
      Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Section 3(a) and
      to
      comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to
      the
      distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

     

    (c)  provide
      copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each
      Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto prior to
      their
      filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably
      objects based upon such counsel’s belief that such Registration Statement is not
      in compliance with applicable laws, rule or regulations or contains a material
      misstatement or omission;

     

    (d)  furnish
      to the Investor and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared
      and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company one
      (1)
      copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary
      prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each
      letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the
      SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC,
      in
      each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of
      any
      thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential
      treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a
      preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such
      other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate
      the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are
      covered by the related Registration Statement;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -4-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (e)  use
      commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order
      or
      other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain
      the
      withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

     

    (f)  prior
      to
      any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable
      efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel
      in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable
      Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
      jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially
      reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution
      in
      such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
      Statement;
      provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
      therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any
      jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
      Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where
      it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file
      a
      general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

      Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer
      quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the
      Company are then listed;

     

    (h)  immediately
      notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable
      Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that,
      or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included
      in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
      of
      a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
      therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
      of
      the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly
      prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement
      to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
      delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus
      shall not include 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
      and

     

    (i)  otherwise
      use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
      regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, take such other
      actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the
      Registrable Securities hereunder.

     

    (j)  With
      a
      view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 (or its
      successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any
      time
      permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without
      registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public
      information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144,
      until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable
      Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar
      effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been
      resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
      documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to
      each
      Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities,
      (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
      requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual
      Report on Form 10-KSB or Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, and (C) such other
      information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor
      of
      any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such
      Registrable Securities without registration.

      Statement.

     

    The
      Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors,
      or
      to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure
      of such information the Company identifies such information as being material
      nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and
      representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material
      nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such

      Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate
      with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with

      Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all
      of
      its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

     

    (c)  The
      Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either

      effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to
      the
      Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company
      a
      certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession of the
      Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt
      of
      such notice.

     

    6. Indemnification.

     

    (a)  Indemnification
      by the Company.
      The
      Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers,
      directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each
      other
      person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
      against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
      they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
      claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
      or
      are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
      material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary
      prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
      thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company
      specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by
      the
      Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or
      all
      of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such
      application, document or information herein called a “Blue
      Sky
      Application”);
      (iii)
      the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
      to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
      (iv)
      any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated
      under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to
      action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration;
      or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included
      in
      any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has
      affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake
      such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse
      such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such
      controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
      in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
      liability or action; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any
      such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
      statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made
      in
      conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling
      person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or
      Prospectus.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -7-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)  Indemnification
      by the Investor.
      The
      Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless,
      to
      the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers,
      employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the
      meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
      expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
      of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated
      in
      the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment
      or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not
      misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement
      or
      omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor
      to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or
      Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability
      of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds
      (net
      of all expense paid by the Investor in connection with any claim relating to
      this Section 6 and the amount of any damages the Investor has otherwise been
      required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by
      such
      Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the
      Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
      obligation.

     

    (c)  Conduct
      of Indemnification Proceedings.
      Any
      person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to
      the
      indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
      and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
      with
      counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided
      that any
      person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ
      separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees
      and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless
      (a)
      the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
      indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and
      employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable
      judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a
      conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party
      with
      respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
      party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the
      expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the
      right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and
provided,
      further,
      that
      the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall
      not
      relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the
      extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the
      indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is
      understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
      proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more
      than
      one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.
      No
      indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party,
      consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not
      include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
      to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such
      claim or litigation.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        -8-

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (d)  Contribution.
      If for
      any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a)
      and
      (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless,
      other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall
      contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
      of
      such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate
      to
      reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party,
      as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
      fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
      Act
      shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent
      misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder
      of
      Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
      proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim
      relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has
      otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
      statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of
      the
      Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

     

    7. Miscellaneous.

     

    (a)  Amendments
      and Waivers.

      and Transfers by Investor.
      The

      transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more
      persons its rights hereunder in connection with the transfer of Registrable
      Securities by such Investor to such person, provided that the Investor complies
      with all laws applicable thereto and provides written notice of assignment
      to
      the Company promptly after such assignment is effected.

     

    (d)  Assignments
      and Transfers by the Company.
      This
      Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or
      otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Investor, provided, however,
      that the Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to
      any
      surviving or successor corporation in connection with a merger or consolidation
      of the Company with another corporation, or a sale, transfer or other
      disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another
      corporation, without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, after
      notice duly given by the Company to each Investor.

     

    (e)  Benefits
      of the Agreement.
      The
      terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
      binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties.
      Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any

      Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

    (f)  Counterparts;
      Faxes.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall

      instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which shall
      be
      deemed an original.

     

    (g)  Titles
      and Subtitles.
      The
      titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and
      are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
      Agreement.

     

    (h)  Severability.
      Any
      provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
      jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
      such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
      provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be
      enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such
      prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
      render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
      permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law
      which
      renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any
      respect.

     

    (i)  Further
      Assurances.
      The
      parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents

      This
      Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
      laws of the State of Nevada without regard to the choice of law principles
      thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive
      jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada located in Nevada and the
      United States District Court located therein for the purpose of any suit,
      action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement
      and
      the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with
      any
      such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere
      in
      the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under
      this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the
      jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to
      the
      laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any
      objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought
      in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action
      or
      proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

      OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
      LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN
      CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

    Exhibit
      A

    


    Plan
      of Distribution

    


    The
      selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees,
      transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock
      or
      interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus
      from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other
      transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any
      or
      all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock
      on
      any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded
      or
      in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at
      prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the
      prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale,
      or at
      negotiated prices.

    


    The
      selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when
      disposing of shares or interests therein:

    


    -
      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 effected after the date the registration statement of which this
      Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

    


    -
      through
      the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether
      through an options exchange or otherwise;

    


    -
      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, 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, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
      other applicable provision of the Securities Act 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

      transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
      beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

    In
      connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling
      stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
      financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
      stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
      stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these
      securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
      stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
      stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
      broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
      derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
      financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
      broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
      prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
      transaction).

    


    The
      aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common
      stock
      offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts
      or
      commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to
      accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole
      or
      in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through
      agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any
      exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the
      exercise price of the warrants.

    


    The
      selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open
      market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
      provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that
      rule.

    


    The
      selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that
      participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be
      "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any
      discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the
      shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
      Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11)
      of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
      of
      the Securities Act.

    


    To
      the
      extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the
      selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices,
      the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions
      or
      discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an
      accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
      amendment to the registration statement that includes this
      prospectus.

    


    In
      order
      to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common
      stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
      brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be
      sold
      unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from
      registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied
      with.

    We
      have
      advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation
      M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to
      the
      activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we
      will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from
      time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of
      satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The
      selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
      transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities,
      including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

    


    We
      have
      agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including
      liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to
      the
      registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

    


    We
      have
      agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of
      which
      this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such
      time
      as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant
      to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which
      the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities
      Act.
