Procedures.

     

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

     

    (a)           (i)  Prepare
and file with the Commission such Registration Statements in order to register
for resale under the Securities Act the Registrable Securities, such amendments,
including post-effective amendments  as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for its Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be
amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as
promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission
with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto; and (iv)

    (b)           Notify
the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (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; and (C) with respect to each
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 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; and (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 such 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 such
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
such 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.

     

    (c)           Use
its reasonable 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.

     

    (d)           Prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register or qualify such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of all jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may request, to keep
each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective
during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things
necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement(s).

     

    (e)           Cooperate
with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee
pursuant to the Registration Statement(s), 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.

     

    (f)           Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(b)(v), as promptly as
reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements 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, no Registration Statement nor any 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.

     

    4.     Reports Under the Exchange
Act.

     

    With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the
Commission that may at any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the
Company agrees to:

     

    
      
         


      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (a)         make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144;

     

    (b)         file
with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required
of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the
Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and
other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
and

     

    (c)         furnish
to each Holder so long as such Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon
request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied
with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell
such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

     

    5.       Registration
Expenses.  All fees and expenses incidental to the performance
of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the
Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement.  The fees and expenses referred to in the
foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and
filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect
to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock
is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without

the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the

    6.    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, investment advisors, partners, members 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 costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising
out of or relating to (i) any violations by the Company of the Securities Act,
Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder in
connection with the performance of its obligations to register securities under
this Agreement or (ii) 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 (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 (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
the Registration Statement, 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(b)(ii)-(v), 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 an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if
and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or
supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss
would have been corrected.  The Company shall notify the Holders
promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

    (b)           Indemnification by
Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or
employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely 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 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 arising solely
out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the
extent, but only 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 the 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(b)(ii)-(v), 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 an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to
the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or
supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss
would have been corrected.  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 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 proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.

     

    An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; (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 have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  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.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

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

     

    (d)           Contribution.  If
a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by,
such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 6(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or
expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.

     

    The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(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.

     

    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.

    7.       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)           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 the Registration Statement.

     

    (c)           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(b), such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the
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 may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce
the provisions of this paragraph.

     

    (d)           Rule 144
Compliance.  As long as any Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, the Company will apply its best efforts to file with the SEC in a
timely manner (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the
applicable grace period) all reports and other documents required of the Company
under the Securities Act and Exchange Act and, if the Company is not required to
file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, it will
prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance
with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly
financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial
statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would
otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in
the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made
under the Exchange Act.

     

    (e)           Amendments and
Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this Section 7(e), 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 the
Holders of no less than a majority in interest of the then outstanding

consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly
or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at
least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent
relates; provided, further
that no amendment or waiver to any provision of this Agreement relating to
naming any Holder or requiring the naming of any Holder as an underwriter may be
effected in any manner without such Holder’s prior written
consent.  Section 2(a) may not be amended or waived except by written
consent of each Holder affected by such amendment or waiver.

    (h)           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.

     

    (i)           Governing
Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, employees or agents) will be commenced in the New York
Courts.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of any New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper
or inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any
provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall
be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Proceeding.

     

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

     

    (k)           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 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.

     

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

    (m)           Independent Nature of
Investor' Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each
Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of
each other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this
Agreement.  Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Investor as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor is in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document.  Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor will be
acting as agent of such Investor in enforcing its rights under this
Agreement.  Each Investor 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 Investor to be
joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.  The
Company acknowledges that each of the Investor has been provided with the same
Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Investor and not because it was required or requested to do so by any
Investor.
