| **2.**   | **Registration Rights****.** |
|--------------------|------------------------------|

| 2.1   | Demand Registration. |
|-----------------|----------------------|

2.1.1        Request for Registration.  At any time and from time to time on or after the Release Date, any holder of Registrable Securities may make a written demand for registration (a “Demand”) under the Securities Act of all or part of its Registrable Securities (a “Demand  

 

Registration”).  Each Demand shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended methods of distribution thereof. The Company will promptly give written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of such Demand.  Each other holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration (each such other holder who wishes to include Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration, together with the holder who makes such Demand, a “Demanding Holder”) must give written notice to that effect to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such holder of such notice from the Company.  Such notice from such other holder must specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold bysuch other holder and the intended methods of distribution thereof.  The Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have the Registrable Securities (covered by such Demand and their notices) included in such Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of Registrable Securities, (a) any Demand Registration unless (i) the Demanding Holders propose to sell an aggregate of at least (x) $5,000,000 of Registrable Securities (based on the closing price of common equity securities of the Company in the principal trading market therefor on a date specified in such Demand within thirty (30) days prior to the date of such Demand) or (y) 1% of the then outstanding securities of the Company and (ii) at least 20% of the Registrable Securities are covered by such Demand and notices or (b) more than (x) one Demand Registration during any consecutive nine (9) month period or (y)an aggregate of two (2) Demand Registrations.  The Company may include in any Demand Registration additional Equity Interests for sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person who has been granted piggyback registration rights.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, then the Company may act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.  No holder of Registrable Securities may make a Demand pursuant to this Section 2.1 at any time after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Release Date.

2.1.2        Effective Registration.  A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto.  If, after a Registration Statement has been declared effective, any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other Governmental Authority interferes with the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have been declared effective unless (a) such stop order or injunction shall have been removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated and (b) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter shall have elected to proceedwith the offering described in such Registration Statement.  The Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement in respect of a Demand Registration until each prior Registration Statement that has been filed in respect of a Demand Registration shall have been counted as a Demand Registration or the offering described therein shall have been terminated.  The holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement with respect to a Demand Registration shall have the right, at any time, to terminate****any offering described therein and to give written notice to that effect to the Company. 

2.1.3        Underwritten Offering.  If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders shall have so stated in their Demand and notices, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such 

 

Demand Registration shall be an underwritten offering.  In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and entry into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (a) by the Company (provided that the underwriter or underwriters so selected shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm or firms) or (b) if the Company does not so select within thirty (30) days after the Demand in respect thereof shall have been made, then by a majority-in-interest of such Demanding Holders.  In such event, such majority-in-interest of Demanding Holders shall give notice to the Company and all other holders as to such selection.  Selection of such underwriter or underwriters shall be binding on the Company and allholders of Registrable Securities unless otherwise agreed by the Company and a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders. ****

2.1.4        Reduction of Offering.  If the managing underwriter or underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering gives written advice to the Company and the Demanding Holders that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other securities which the Company desires to sell and which other securityholders of the Company desire to sell pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by them, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or number of Equity Interests, as applicable, the“Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested; (ii) second, all securities that the Company desires to sell, all pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”,) regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the securities for the account ofother Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the securities that other securityholders desire to sell, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.  ****

2.1.5        Withdrawal.  Any Demanding Holder may elect to withdraw from any Demand Registration by giving written notice to the Company prior to the pricing of the offering described in the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration (if such offering is underwritten) or effectiveness of such Registration Statement (if such offering is not underwritten).  If any such withdrawal or withdrawals reduce the size of the proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration so that the underwriter or underwriters believe that it would not be prudent to proceed with such offering, then such Registration Statement will be withdrawn, such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration and no further demand for a Demand Registration may be made for six (6) months following the withdrawal of suchRegistration Statement.  

 

| 2.2   | Piggy-Back Registration. |
|-----------------|--------------------------|

2.2.1        Piggy-Back Rights.

Such Piggy-Back Notice must specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Piggy-Back Holder. The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, then the Company may act upon the basis of the instructions, notice orelection received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.  No holder of Registrable Securities may give a Piggy-Back Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2 at any time after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Release Date.

Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the pricing (if the Piggy-Back Registration is underwritten) or effectiveness (if the Piggy-Back Registration is not underwritten) of the Registration Statement.

3.6.1        Notwithstanding anything contained in the Warrant Agreement dated as of March 5, 2007 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent, or any other agreement to the contrary, in lieu of the payment by a holder of Registrable Securities of the exercise price of any Private Placement Warrant (the “Warrant Exercise Price”), each holder of a Private Placement Warrant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise any exercisable but unexercised portion of such Private Placement Warrant, on a cashless or net exercise basis, as provided in Section 3.6.2 (the "Net Exercise Right").  

3.6.2        To exercise the Net Exercise Right in respect of any Private Placement Warrant, in whole or in part, a holder of Registrable Securities must give written notice to that effect to the Warrant Agent (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) at the time of exercise of such Private Placement Warrant or part thereof.  Such notice may be given by so stating on the election to exercise form for such Private Placement Warrant or in a separate letter or other document.  Upon such exercise of the Net Exercise Right, the Company shall deliver to such holder of Registrable Securities, in respect of such Private Placement Warrant or part thereof, as the case may be, and without payment of any of the Warrant Exercise Price in respect thereof, that 

 

number of shares of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3.6, as defined in the Warrant Agreement) equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Private Placement Warrant or part thereof if such Warrant Exercise Price had been paid, less (ii) that number of shares of Common Stock with a Current Market Value on the date of such exercise equal to such Warrant Exercise Price.  The “Current Market Value” of a share of Common Stock on any date shall mean the closing sale price of a share of Common Stock on such date as reported by the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading or, if there is no such closing sale price on such date, the average of the bid and asked prices as reported by such exchange or market or, ifthere is no such sale, bid and asked prices, respectively, or the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any exchange or market, the fair market value thereof as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

|--------------------|-------------------------------------------|

5.1              Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact containedin any Registration Statement under 

 

which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 will not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any underwriter of the Registrable Securities, theirofficers, employees, Affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each Person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 5.1. 

5.2              Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities.  Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other Person, if any, who controls such selling holder or such underwriter or the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untruestatement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each sellingholder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such indemnification obligation. 

 

5.3              Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify theIndemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs ofinvestigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of each party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened action, proceeding or claim in respect of which theIndemnified Party is or could have been a Party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, proceeding or claim. 

| 5.4   | Contribution. |
|-----------------|---------------|

5.4.1        If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

 

5.4.2        The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by prorata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 5.4.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding Section 5.4.1 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.****No Person guiltyof fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
