    (i) commence
      liquidation of the Trust Account upon receipt of the Officers’ Certificate
      signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in accordance
      with the terms of a letter (the “Termination
      Letter”),

      the
      other documents referred to therein as part of the Company’s plan of dissolution
      and liquidation approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Trustee understands
      and agrees that, except as provided in Section 1(j) and Section 2 hereof,

      Combination”
means
      the acquisition by the Company, through merger, capital stock exchange, asset

        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (j) as
      of the
      date 18 months from the date of this Agreement (the “LOI
      Termination Date”)
      (or 24
      months from the date hereof, in the event the Company has executed a Letter
      of
      Intent (defined below) prior to the LOI Termination Date but failed to
      consummate a Business Combination (“Second
      Termination Date”)),
      commence liquidation of the Trust Account. The Trustee, upon consultation with
      the Company and the Representatives, shall deliver a notice to Public
      Stockholders of record as of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination
      Date, whichever the case may be, by U.S. mail or via the Depository Trust
      Company (“DTC”),
      within five days of the LOI Termination Date or Second Termination Date, to
      notify the Public Stockholders of such event and take such other actions as
      it
      may deem necessary to inform the Beneficiaries. Following the requisite approval
      of the Company’s stockholders, the Trustee shall deliver to each Public
      Stockholder its ratable share of the Property against satisfactory evidence
      of
      delivery of the stock certificates by the Public Stockholders to the Company
      through DTC, its Deposit Withdraw Agent Commission (DWAC) system or as otherwise
      presented to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee receives
      a bona fide, executed letter of intent, agreement in principle or engagement
      letter (a “Letter
      of Intent”)
      for a
      Business Combination prior to the LOI Termination Date accompanied by an
      Officers’ Certificate as described in Section 3(e) hereof, then the Trustee
      shall forego or suspend any liquidation of the Trust Account until the earlier
      of a Business Combination or the Second Termination Date. 

     

    2. Limited
      Distributions of Income on Property.

     

    (a) If
      there
      is any income tax obligation relating to the income from the Property in the
      Trust Account, then, at the written instruction of the Company, the Trustee
      shall disburse to the Company by wire transfer, out of the Property in the
      Trust
      Account, the amount indicated by the Company as required to pay income
      taxes.

     

    (b) Upon
      one
      or more written requests from the Company, which may be given not more than
      once
      in any calendar month period, the Trustee shall distribute to the Company
      interest or dividends earned on the Property in the Trust Account, net of taxes
      payable, up to a maximum of $600,000 ($800,000, if the Underwriters’
over-allotment option is exercised in full). The distributions requested by
      the
      Company may be for any amount, provided that (i) in the aggregate, all
      distributions under this Section 2(b) may not exceed $600,000 ($800,000, if
      the
      Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), and (ii) such
      distributions may only be made if and to the extent that income has been earned
      and collected on the amount initially deposited into the Trust Account.

     

    (c) Upon
      receipt by the Trustee of a written instruction from the Company for
      distributions from the Trust Account in connection with a plan of dissolution
      and distribution, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate signed by the Chief
      Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying as
      true,

      or, where known with reasonable certainty, imminently to be incurred by the
      Company in connection with its dissolution and distribution, including any
      fees
      and expenses incurred or imminently to be incurred by the Company in connection
      with seeking stockholder approval of the Company’s plan of dissolution and
      distribution, (ii) any amounts due to pay creditors or required to reserve
      for

      distribute to the Company an amount, as directed by the Company in the
      instruction letter, up to the sum of (i) and (ii) as indicated in the
      instruction letter.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (d) Except
      as
      provided in Sections 1(i), 1(j), 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c) above, no other
      distributions from the Trust Account shall be permitted.

     

    (e) It
      is
      acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that with respect to all requests
      for distributions to or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 2,
      paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), the Trustee’s only responsibility is to follow the
      instructions of the Company.

     

    3. Agreements
      and Covenants of the Company.
      The
      Company hereby agrees and covenants:

     

    (a) to
      provide all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by the
      Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to
      the Representatives. In addition, except with respect to its duties under
      paragraph 1(i) and 1(j) above, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on, and
      shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic advice or instruction
      which it, in good faith, believes to be given by any one of the persons
      authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company and/or
      the Representatives shall promptly confirm such instructions in writing;

     

    (b) to
      hold
      the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all
      expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered
      by the Trustee in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought
      against the Trustee involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or
      demand which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services
      of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any income earned from investment
      of the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from the Trustee’s
      gross negligence or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the
      Trustee of notice of demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit
      or
      proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under
      this paragraph, it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim
      (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified
      Claim”).
      The
      Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such
      Indemnified Claim. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim
      without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may participate
      in
      such action with its own counsel; 

     

    (c) to
      pay
      the Trustee an initial acceptance fee and an annual fee as set forth on
Schedule
      A
      at the
      consummation of the IPO and thereafter on the anniversary of the Effective
      Date.

      for
      each disbursement made pursuant to Sections (a), (b) or (c) as set forth on
      Schedule
      A
      hereto
      and that said transaction processing fee may be added to the amounts requested
      by the Company and deducted from the disbursement made to or on behalf of the
      Company pursuant to Sections 2(b), (b) and (c). The Trustee shall refund to
      the
      Company the fee (on a pro rata basis) with respect to any period after the
      liquidation of the Trust Fund. The Company shall not be responsible for any
      other fees or charges of the Trustee, except as may be provided in Section
      3(b)
      hereof (it being expressly understood that the Property shall not be used to
      make any payments to the Trustee under such section);

    (d) that,
      in
      the event that the Company completes a Business Combination and the Trust
      Account is liquidated in accordance with Section 1(i) hereof, the Trustee or
      another independent party designated by the Representatives shall act as the
      inspector of election to certify the results of the stockholder
      vote;

      Date, the Company has entered into a bona fide Letter of Intent with a target
      business; and/or (2) prior to the LOI Termination Date, the Company has entered
      into a Business Combination with a target business, the terms of which are
      consistent with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement; and/or
      (3) prior to the Second Termination Date, the Company has entered into a
      Business Combination with a target business, the terms of which are consistent
      with the requirements set forth in the Registration Statement; and (4) the
      Board
      of Directors (the “Board”),
      has
      approved (where applicable): (i) the Business Combination; and/or (ii) the
      Letter of Intent;

    (h) within
      five business days after the Representatives over-allotment option (or any
      unexercised portion thereof) expires or is exercised in full, to provide the

      amount of the Contingent Discount, which shall in no event be less than
      $1,170,000 less any amounts of Contingent Discount returned to stockholders
      of
      the Company who have elected to convert their shares into their pro rata share
      of the amount in the trust account, in a minimum amount of approximately $7.90
      per share from the Trust Account in connection with a Business
      Combination.

     

    4. Limitations
      of Liability.
      The
      Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to:

     

    (a) take
      any
      action with respect to the Property, other than as directed in Section 1 hereof,
      and the Trustee shall have no liability to any party except for liability
      arising out of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) institute
      any proceeding for the collection of any principal and income arising from,
      or
      institute, appear in or defend any proceeding of any kind with respect to,

      advanced or guaranteed to it funds sufficient to pay any expenses incident
      thereto;

     

    (c) change

      any depreciation in principal of any Property;

     

    (e) assume
      that the authority of any person designated by the Company and/or the
      Representatives to give written instructions hereunder shall not be continuing
      unless provided otherwise in such designation, or unless the Company and/or
      the
      Representatives shall have delivered a written revocation of such authority
      to
      the Trustee;

     

    (f) the
      other
      parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or
      any
      action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise
      of its own best judgment, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
      The Trustee may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in acting upon,

      order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including

      or
      document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness

      or to
      confirm or assure that any acquisition made by the Company or any other action
      taken by it is as contemplated by the Registration Statement, unless an officer
      of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof, written notice of such event is
      sent to the Trustee or as otherwise required under Section 1(i) hereof;
      and

     

    (h) pay
      any
      taxes on behalf of the Trust Account (it being expressly understood that the
      Trustee’s sole obligation with respect to taxes shall be to disburse funds to
      the Company with respect thereto as provided for by Section 2(a)
      hereof).

     

    5. Certain
      Rights Of Trustee.

     

    (a) Before
      the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or opinion of counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable
      for
      any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’
Certificate or opinion of counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and
      the
      advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete
      authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken,
      suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
      thereon.

      Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible
      for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
      care.

     

    (c) The
      Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
      faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred
      upon it by this Agreement.

     

    (d) The
      Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
      validity or adequacy of this Agreement, and it shall not be accountable for
      the
      Company’s use of the proceeds from the Trust Account. Notwithstanding the
      effective date of this Agreement or anything to the contrary contained in this
      Agreement, the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act
      or
      event relating to this Agreement or the transactions related thereto which
      occurs prior to the date of this Agreement, and shall have no contractual
      obligations to the Beneficiaries until the date of this Agreement.

     

    6. No
      Right of Set-Off.
      The
      Trustee waives any right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim
      of
      any kind that the Trustee may have against the Property held in the Trust
      Account. In the event that the Trustee has a claim against the Company under
      this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 3(b), the Trustee
      will pursue such claim solely against the Company and not against the Property
      held in the Trust Account.

     

    7. Termination.
      This
      Agreement shall terminate as follows:

     

    (a) if
      the
      Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under
      this
      Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to locate a successor
      trustee during which time the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with
      the terms of this Agreement. At such time that the Company notifies the Trustee
      that a successor trustee has been appointed by the Company and has agreed to
      become subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer the
      management of the Trust Account to the successor trustee, including, but not
      limited, the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the
      Trust Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however,
      that, in the event the Company does not locate a successor trustee within 90
      days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may
      submit an application to have the Property deposited with the United States
      District Court for the Southern District of New York and, upon such deposit,
      the
      Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever that arises due to any
      actions or omissions to act by any party after such deposit;

     

    (b) at
      such
      time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account in
      accordance with the provisions of Section 1(i) hereof, and distributed the
      Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this
      Agreement shall terminate except with respect to Section 3(b) hereof;
      or

     

    (c) on
      such
      date after __________, 200_ when the Trustee deposits the Property with the
      United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the event
      that, prior to such date, the Trustee has not received a Termination Letter
      from
      the Company pursuant to Section 1(i) or (j) hereof.

    8. Miscellaneous.

     

    (a) The
      Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the
      security procedures set forth below with respect to funds transferred from
      the
      Trust Account. Upon receipt of written instructions, the Trustee will confirm
      such instructions with an “Authorized Individual” at an “Authorized Telephone
      Number” listed on the attached Exhibit
      C.
      The
      Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information
      relating to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must
      notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe unauthorized
      persons may have obtained access to such information or of any change in its
      authorized personnel. In executing funds transfers, the Trustee will rely upon
      account numbers or other identifying numbers of a beneficiary, beneficiary’s
      bank or intermediary bank, rather than names. The Trustee shall not be liable
      for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any error in an account number
      or other identifying number, provided it has accurately transmitted the numbers
      provided.

     

    (b) This
      Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
      the
      laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws. It
      may
      be executed in several counterparts, each one of which shall constitute an
      original, and together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile signatures
      shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this
      Agreement.

     

    (c) This
      Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
      with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement or any provision
      hereof may only be changed, amended or modified by a writing signed by each
      of
      the parties hereto; provided, however, that no such change, amendment or
      modification (other than to correct a typographical error or similar technical
      error) may be made to Sections 1(i), 1(j), 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) hereof without
      the
      consent the Public Stockholders holding 95% of the Company’s issued and
      outstanding Common Stock, it being the specific intention of the parties hereto
      that each Public Stockholder is and shall be a third-party beneficiary of this
      Section 8(c) with the same right and power to enforce this Section 8(c), the
      “consent of the Public Stockholders holding 95% of the Company’s issued and
      outstanding Common Stock” shall mean receipt by the Trustee of a certificate
      from an entity certifying that (i) such entity regularly engages in the business
      of serving as inspector of elections for companies whose securities are publicly
      traded, and (ii) either (a) Public Stockholders of record holding 95% of the
      Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of a record date established in
      accordance with Section 213(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
      amended (the “DGCL”),
      have
      voted in favor of such amendment or modification, or (b) Public Stockholders
      of
      record holding 95% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of a
      record date established in accordance with Section 213(b) of the DGCL has
      delivered to such entity a signed writing approving such amendment or
      modification. The Representatives, who, along with the other Underwriters,
      the
      parties specifically agree, are and shall be third party beneficiaries for
      purposes of this Agreement; and provided further, any amendment to Section
      1(j)
      shall require the consent of all of the Public Stockholders. As to any claim,
      cross-claim or counterclaim in any way relating to this Agreement, each party
      waives the right to trial by jury.

     

    (d) The
      parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal
      court located in the State and County of New York for purposes of resolving
      any
      disputes hereunder. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction,
      which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and hereby waive any objection to such
      exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient
      forum.

    Gentlemen:

    

    Pursuant
      to Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between TransTech
      Services Partners Inc. (the “Company”)
      and
      Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”),
      dated
      as of [__________], 2007 (the “Trust
      Agreement”),
      this
      is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement (the
“Business
      Agreement”)
      with
      [___________] (“Target
      Business”)
      to
      complete a business combination with Target Business (the “Business
      Combination”)
      on or
      about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least 48 hours in advance
      of the actual date of the consummation of the Business Combination (the
“Consummation
      Date”)
      and
      shall provide you with an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Sections 1(i)
      and 2(c) of the Trust Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
      define shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Trust
      Agreement.

     

    In
      accordance with paragraph [___] of [___] of the Amended and Restated Certificate
      of Incorporation of the Company, the Business Combination has been approved
      by
      the stockholders of the Company and by the Public Stockholders holding a
      majority of the IPO Shares, and Public Stockholders holding less than 20% of
      the
      IPO Shares have voted against the Business Combination and given notice of
      exercise of their conversion rights described in paragraph [___] of Article
      [___] of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.
      Pursuant to Section 3(f) of the Trust Agreement, we are providing you with
      [ an
      affidavit ] [ a certificate ] of ___________, which verifies the vote of the
      Company’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.

     

    In
      accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to
      commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the effect that, on the
      Consummation Date, all of funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately
      available for transfer to the account or accounts that the Company and the
      Representatives shall direct in writing on the Consummation Date.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    On
      the
      Consummation Date, (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written
      notification that (a) all of the conditions to closing of the Business
      Combination have been satisfied and the closing date for such Business
      Combination has been scheduled pursuant to the terms of the Business Agreement,
      and (b) the provisions of Section 11-51-302(6) and Rule 51-3.4 of the CRS have
      been met, to the extent applicable; (ii) the Company shall deliver along with
      the oath and report of inspector of election certified by an independent
      inspector which may be the Trustee or as otherwise appointed by the
      Representatives (collectively, the “Report”);
      and
      (iii) the Company and the Representatives shall deliver to you joint written
      instructions with respect to the transfer of the funds, including the Contingent
      Discount, held in the Trust Account (“Instructions”).
      You
      are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the Trust
      Account immediately upon your receipt of the counsel’s letter, the Report,
      evidence of delivery of the Stock Certificates, the Officers’ Certificate and
      the Instructions in accordance with the terms of the Instructions.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon verification of receipt by you of the
      Instructions, we hereby agree and acknowledge that the Property in the Trust
      Account shall be distributed as follows: (1) first, to the Representatives
      by
      wire transfer (or as otherwise directed by the Representatives) in immediately
      available funds, the aggregate amount of $1,170,000 ($1,372,500 if the
      Underwriters’ over-allotment option has been exercised in full), plus any
      interest accrued thereon; and (2) thereafter, to any other Beneficiary in
      accordance with the terms of the Instructions. In the event that certain
      deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation
      Date without penalty, you will notify the Company and the Representatives of
      the
      same and, if the amount set forth in sub-clause (1) shall not have been paid
      in
      full, the Representatives and the Company shall issue joint written instructions
      directing you as to whether such funds should remain in the Trust Account and
      be
      distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company and/or the
      Representatives. Upon the distribution of all the funds in the Trust Account
      pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trust Agreement shall be
      terminated.

     

    In
      the
      event that the Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation
      Date
      described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on or before the
      original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then the funds held
      in
      the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in the Trust Agreement on
      the
      business day immediately following the Consummation Date, as set forth in the
      notice.

     

    

    Very
      truly yours,

      establish a record date for the purposes of determining the stockholders of
      record entitled to receive their per share portion of the Trust Account. The
      record date shall be within ten (10) days of the liquidation date, or as soon

      accounts of the Designated Paying Agent that the funds in the Trust Account
      should be transferred to on the Transfer Date so that the Designated Paying
      Agent may commence distribution of such funds in accordance with terms of the
      Trust Agreement and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,

    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, the holders
      of a
      majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors or
      the
      transferees of the Investors, may make a written demand for registration under
      the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a
“Demand
      Registration”). 
      Any Demand Registration shall specify the number and type of Registrable
      Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution
      thereof.  The Company will notify all holders of Registrable Securities of
      the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include
      all
      or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration
      (each such holder including Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration,
      a “Demanding
      Holder”)
      shall
      so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder
      of the notice from the Company.  Upon any such request, the Demanding
      Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in
      the
      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 more than
      an aggregate of two (2) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in
      respect of Registrable Securities.

     

    2.1.2 Effective
      Registration. 
A
      registration will 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
      with respect thereto;
      provided, however,
      that,
      if after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering
      of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with
      by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental
      agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand
      Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and
      until (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise
      terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter
      elect to continue to have their Registrable Securities included therein;
provided,
      further,
      that
      the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement
      until
      a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration
      or is terminated.

     

    2.1.3 Underwritten
      Offering. 
      If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders
      so
      advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration,
      the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration
      shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right
      of
      any holder of Registrable Securities to include its Registrable Securities
      in
      such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such
      underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the
      underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Demanding Holders
      proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter
      into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or
      Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the
      Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    2.1.4 Reduction
      of Offering. 
      If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that
      is to
      be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in
      writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the
      Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common
      Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares
      of
      Common Stock or other Securities, if any, as to which registration has been
      requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held
      by
      other securityholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum
      dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering
      without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the
      distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such
      maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities, as applicable, the
“Maximum
      Number of Shares”),
      then
      the Company shall include in such registration:  (i) first, the shares of
      Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can
      be
      sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, the
      Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by
      the
      Demanding Holders (pro
      rata
      in
      accordance with the number of shares of Registrable Securities which such
      Demanding Holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless
      of
      the number of Registrable Securities held by each Demanding Holder) 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 shares of Common Stock or other securities for the
      account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant
      to
      written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without
      exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that
      the
      Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i),
      (ii), and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that other
      securityholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
      Number of Shares.

     

    2.1.5 Withdrawal.
      If a
      majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any
      underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities
      in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect
      to
      withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the
      Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with
      respect to such Demand Registration.  In such event, the Company need not
      seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement for the benefit of other
      Investors. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from
      a
      proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration
      shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in
      Section 2.1.1.

     

    2.2 Piggy-Back
      Registration.

    2.2.1 Piggy-Back
      Rights. 
      If at any time on or after the Release Date the Company proposes to file a
      Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering
      of
      equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or
      exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for
      its
      own account or for securityholders of the Company for their accounts (or by
      the

      any
      aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected
      pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations
      effected pursuant to Section 2.1.

      Net
      Cash Settlement Value.
      In
      connection with the exercise of the Warrants, the Company will not be obligated
      to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to

      required to net cash settle an exercise of a Warrant.

     

    3. REGISTRATION
      PROCEDURES.

     

    3.1 Filings;
      Information. 
      Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable
      Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to
      effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance
      with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as
      practicable, and in connection with any such request:

     

    3.1.1 Filing
      Registration Statement. 
      The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any event within sixty
      (60) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to
      Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement
      on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the
      Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale
      of
      all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the
      intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts
      to
      cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the period
      required by Section 3.1.3; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to
      thirty (30) days, and
      any
      Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of
      any
      demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each
      case
      if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of
      the
      Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the
      Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be effected
      at
      such time; provided
      further, however,
      that
      the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the
      immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 180-day period in respect
      of
      a Demand Registration hereunder.

     

    3.1.2 Copies. 
      The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus,
      or
      any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders

      Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal
      counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each
      amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including
      all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the
      prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
      prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities
      included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request
      in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned
      by
      such holders.

     

    3.1.3 Amendments
      and Supplements. 
      The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
      including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration
      Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary
      to
      keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions
      of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities
      covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance
      with
      the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement
      (which period shall not exceed the sum of one hundred eighty (180) days plus
      any
      period during which any such disposition is interfered with by any stop order
      or
      injunction of the Commission or any governmental agency or court) or such
      securities have been withdrawn.

    3.1.4 Notification. 
      After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and
      in
      no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders
      of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such
      filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice
      in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of
      any
      of the following:  (i) when such Registration Statement becomes
      effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration
      Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by
      the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions
      required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered);

      such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional
      information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a
      supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered
      to
      the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such
      prospectus will not contain an 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 not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders
      of
      Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such
      supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a
      Registration Statement or

      incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of
      Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal
      counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed
      sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel
      with
      a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and
      the
      Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment
      or
      supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which
      such
      holders or their legal counsel shall reasonably object.

     

    3.1.5 State
      Securities Laws Compliance. 
      The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the
      Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such
      securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the
      holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in
      light of their intended plan of distribution) may request, and (ii) take
      such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the
      Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
      Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and
      operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may
      be
      necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included
      in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
      Securities in such jurisdictions; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
      jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
      paragraph (e) or subject itself to taxation in any such

    3.1.6 Agreements
      for Disposition. 
      The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable,
      an
      underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are
      reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
      Registrable Securities.  The representations, warranties and covenants of
      the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit
      of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for
      the
      benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration
      statement.  No holder of Registrable Securities included in such
      registration statement shall be required to make any representations or
      warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect
      to
      such holder’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable
      Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements
      and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating
      to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion
      in such Registration Statement. Holders of Registrable Securities shall agree
      to
      such covenants and indemnification and contribution obligations for selling
      stockholders as are customarily contained in agreements of that type. Further,
      such holders shall cooperate fully in the preparation of the registration
      statement and other documents relating to any offering in which they include
      securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Each holder shall also furnish to
      the
      Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
      by
      such holder and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall
      be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable
      Securities.

     

    3.1.7 Cooperation. 
      The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer
      of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other
      officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully
      in
      any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall
      include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement
      with
      respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents,
      and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and
      potential investors.

     

    3.1.8 Records. 
      The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable
      Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter

      Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all
      financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
      the
      Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
      responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to
      supply all information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with
      such Registration Statement.

     

    3.1.9 Opinions
      and Comfort Letters. 
      The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included
      in
      any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder,
      of
      (i) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any Underwriter, and
      (ii) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants
      delivered to any Underwriter.  In the event no legal opinion is delivered
      to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable
      Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder
      elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect
      that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared
      effective and that no stop order is in effect.

      of
      Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
      thereunder.

      included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise
      designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the
      Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are
      then
      listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority
      of
      the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

     

    3.2 Obligation
      to Suspend Distribution. 
      Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of
      the
      kind described in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale
      registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any
      suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance
      program adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, of the ability of all
“insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities
      because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of
      Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately
      discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the

      transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so
      directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all
      copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of
      the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time
      of
      receipt of such notice.

    3.4 Information. 
      The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may
      reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any,
      in
      connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including
      amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of
      any
      Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and
      in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and
      applicable state securities laws.

     

    3.5 Holder
      Obligations.
      No
      holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering
      pursuant to this Section 3 unless such holder (i) agrees to sell only such
      holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any
      underwriting agreement, and (ii) completes, executes and delivers any and all
      questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities,
      underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required by or under
      the
      terms of any underwriting agreement or as reasonably requested by the
      Company.

     

    4. INDEMNIFICATION
      AND CONTRIBUTION.

     

    4.1 Indemnification
      by the Company. 
      The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each 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 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 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 or any rule or regulation
      promulgated thereunder
      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 Parties for any legal and any other expenses
      reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Parties in connection with
      investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage,
      liability or action; provided,
      however,
      that (a)
      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 or for the use by any Investor
      Indemnified Party of a prospectus in violation of any stop order or other
      suspension of the Registration Statement; and (b) the foregoing indemnity shall
      not inure to the benefit of any holder (or benefit of any person controlling
      such holder) from whom the person asserting such expense, loss, claim, damage
      or
      liability purchased the Registrable Securities, if a copy of the Prospectus
      (as
      then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments
      or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such holder
      to
      such person, if required by law so to have been delivered at or prior to the
      written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such person,
      and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the
      defect giving rise to such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability, unless
      such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 3.1.3
      hereof.  The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the
      Registrable Securities, their officers, employees, affiliates, directors,
      partners, members, attorneys and agents and each person who controls such
      Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification
      provided above in this Section 4.1.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4.2 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 the Company
      or
      such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
      Section 20 of 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 untrue statement 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 or for the use by
      any
      Investor Indemnified Party of a prospectus in violation of any stop order or
      other suspension of the Registration Statement, 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
      investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
      action.  Each selling holder’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 in connection with the sale of the
      Registrable Securities by such selling holder pursuant to the Registration
      Statement containing such untrue statement or allegedly untrue
      statement.

     

    4.3 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 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified
      Party”)
      shall,
      if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for
      indemnification hereunder, promptly 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 the Indemnifying 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 materially 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 elects, 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 of investigation;
      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 both parties
      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 proceeding in respect
      of
      which the Indemnified 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 claim or proceeding.

    4.4 Contribution.

     

    4.4.1 If
      the
      indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 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
      benefits received by the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties from
      the offering. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
      sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the Indemnified Party failed
      to give the notice required under Section 4.3 above, then each Indemnifying
      Parties shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
      Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative
      benefits but also 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.

    4.4.2 The
      parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
      pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by
      pro
      rata
      allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
      of
      the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
      Section 4.4.1.  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 paragraph 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.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no
      holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount
      in
      excess of the dollar amount
      of the
      net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions
      or
      taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
      which gave rise to such contribution obligation.  No person guilty of
      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.

     

    5. OTHER
      COVENANTS.

     

    5.1 Rule 144. 
      The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by
      it
      under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action
      as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the
      extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable
      Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
      of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such
      Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation
      (but not Rule 144A) hereafter adopted by the Commission.

      sale or to include shares of the Company’s capital stock in any registration
      filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account
      or for the account of any other person. The Company shall not grant to any
      other
      person any right to register his, her or its securities of the Company which
      are
      inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder.

      successors and the permitted assigns of the Investor or holder of Registrable
      Securities or of any assignee of the Investor or holder of Registrable

Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the
      breach or default waived has occurred.  Any waiver may be
      conditional.  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein

    6.10 Remedies
      Cumulative. 
      In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or
      agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, any Investor or

      other holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its
      rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance
      of
      any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach
      of
      any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement
      or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more
      of
      such actions, without being required to post a bond.  None of the rights,
      powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive,
      and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to
      any
      other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or
      hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

     

    6.11 Governing
      Law.
