5      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE
CORPORATION

     

    5.1                      Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Corporation

     

    By
execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Corporation hereby agrees with the
Subscriber that the Subscriber shall have the benefit of the representations and
warranties made by the Corporation below and to the Agents as set forth in the
Agency Agreement, and acknowledges that the Subscriber is relying on such
representations and warranties in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein.  Such representations and warranties shall continue in full
force and effect for the benefit of the Subscriber in accordance with the Agency
Agreement.

     

    The
Corporation represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Subscriber as
follows:

     

    (a)           Upon
issue, the Flow-Through Shares will be "Flow-Through Shares" as defined in
subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act and the Proposed Amendments and are not and
will not be "prescribed shares" within the meaning of section 6202.1 of the
regulations to the Tax Act. The Corporation does not have and will not have
prior to the Termination Date a Prescribed Relationship with the Subscriber and
if the Subscriber is a partnership, with a partner or limited partner of such
partnership.

     

    (b)           The
Corporation is a "principal-business corporation" as defined in subsection
66(15) of the Tax Act and will continue to be a "principal-business corporation"
until such time as all of the Resource Expenses required to be renounced under
this Subscription Agreement have been incurred and validly renounced pursuant to
the Tax Act.

     

    (c)           The
Corporation has no reason to believe that it will be unable to: (i) incur, on or
after the Closing Date and on or before the Termination Date, or (ii) renounce
to the Subscriber effective on or before December 31, 2010, Resource Expenses in
an aggregate amount equal to the Subscription Price, and the Corporation has no
reason to expect any reduction of such amount by virtue of subsection 66(12.73)
of the Tax Act.

     

    (d)           The
Corporation hereby agrees to incur Resource Expenses in an amount equal to the
Subscription Price on or before the Termination Date in accordance with this
Subscription Agreement and agrees to renounce to the Subscriber, on or before
March 31, 2011 with an effective date no later than December 31, 2010, pursuant
to subsections 66(12.6) and 66(12.66) of the Tax Act, Resource Expenses incurred
or to be incurred on or before the Termination Date in an amount equal to the
Subscription Price.

     

    (e)           The
Corporation shall deliver to the Subscriber, on or before February 28, 2011, the
relevant Prescribed Forms, fully completed and executed, renouncing to the
Subscriber, Resource Expenses in an amount equal to the Subscription Price with
an effective date of no later than December 31, 2010, such delivery constituting
the authorization of the Corporation to the Subscriber to file such Prescribed
Forms with the relevant taxation authorities.

     

    (f)           The
Resource Expenses to be renounced by the Corporation to the
Subscriber:

     

    (i)      
     will constitute CEE on the effective date of the
renunciation;

     

    (ii)           will
not include expenses that are "Canadian exploration and development overhead
expenses" (as defined in the regulations to the Tax Act for purposes of
paragraph 66(12.6)(b) of the Tax Act) of the Corporation, the amount of any
assistance described in paragraph 66(12.6)(a) of the Tax Act, amounts which
constitute specified expenses for seismic data described in paragraph
66(12.6)(b.1) of the Tax Act or any expenses for prepaid services or rent that
do not qualify as outlays and expenses for the period as described in the
definition of "expense" in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act;

     

    (iii)          will
not include any amount that has previously been renounced by the Corporation to
the Subscriber or to any other Person;

     

    (iv)          would
be deductible by the Corporation in computing its income for the purposes of
Part I of the Tax Act but for the renunciation to the Subscriber;

    (v)           will
not be subject to any reduction under subsection 66(12.73) of the Tax
Act.

     

    (g)           The
Corporation shall not reduce the amount renounced to the Subscriber pursuant to
subsection 66(12.6) of the Tax Act.

     

    (h)           The
Corporation shall not be subject to the provisions of subsection 66(12.67) of
the Tax Act in a manner which impairs its ability to renounce Resource Expenses
to the Subscriber in an amount equal to the Subscription Price.

     

    (i)           The
Corporation acknowledges that it is not now entitled to receive any assistance,
as defined in the Tax Act, in respect of the Resource Expenses.  If
the Corporation receives, or becomes entitled to receive, any government
assistance which is described in paragraph (a) of the definition of "excluded
obligation" in subsection 6202.1(5) of the regulations made under the Tax Act
and the receipt of or entitlement to receive such government assistance has or
will have the effect of reducing the amount of CEE validly renounced to the
Subscriber hereunder to less than the aggregate of the Subscription Price, the
Corporation shall incur additional Resource Expenses on or before the time it
renounces the Resource Expenses to the Subscriber pursuant to their Subscription
Agreement in an amount sufficient to allow it to renounce to the Subscriber, the
Subscription Price.

     

    (j)           The
Corporation shall use the gross proceeds of the Offering for general exploration
activities on the Corporation's properties and shall deliver to the Subscriber,
on or before March 31, 2011, a list of the provinces, territories or other
jurisdictions in Canada where the Corporation has incurred, or intends to incur,
Resource Expenses together with the amount incurred in each such province,
territory or other jurisdiction of Canada.

     

    (k)           The
Corporation shall file with the CRA, and, if applicable, with the appropriate
authorities in the Province of Québec, within the time prescribed by subsection
66(12.68) of the Tax Act and the applicable provisions of the Quebec Tax Act (i)
the forms prescribed for the purposes of such legislation, together with a copy
of this Subscription Agreement and shall forthwith following such filings
provide to the Subscriber a copy of such forms; and (ii) the form prescribed for
purposes of subsection 66(12.7) of the Tax Act on or before the last day of the
first month after each month in which any renunciation is made pursuant to the
terms of this Subscription Agreement.

     

    (l)           The
Corporation will keep proper books, records and accounts in respect of all
Resource Expenses and all transactions and events affecting the Subscription
Price, the Resource Expenses and the amounts renounced to the Subscriber
hereunder, and upon reasonable notice, will, on a timely basis, make such books,
records, accounts and any other relevant documents available for inspection and
audit by or on behalf of the Subscriber.

     

    (m)           Neither
the Corporation nor any corporation "associated" (as such term is defined in the
Tax Act) with the Corporation is a party to any other agreement for the issuance
of Flow-Through Shares for which the required expenditures have not been
incurred other than as disclosed in the Public Record.

     

    (n)           The
Corporation has not and will not enter into transactions or take deductions
which would otherwise reduce its cumulative CEE to an extent which would
preclude a renunciation of Resource Expenses hereunder in an amount equal to the
Subscription Price on or before December 31, 2010.

     

    (o)           The
Corporation will file with the CRA, before March 31 of the year following a
particular year, any return required to be filed under Part XII.6 of the Tax Act
in respect of the particular year, and will pay any tax or other amount owing in
respect of that return on a timely basis.

     

    (p)           If
the Corporation amalgamates with any one or more companies, any shares issued to
or held by the Subscriber as a replacement for the Flow-Through Shares as a
result of such amalgamation will qualify, by virtue of subsection 87(4.4) of the
Tax Act, as Flow-Through Shares and in particular will not be "prescribed
shares" as defined in section 6202.1 of the regulations to the Tax
Act.

    5.2                      Indemnification

     

    If the
Corporation does not incur and renounce to the Subscriber, effective on or
before December 31, 2010, Resource Expenses equal to the Subscription Price, the
Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and each of the
partners thereof if the Subscriber is a partnership or a limited partnership
(for the purposes of this paragraph, each an "Indemnified Person") as to,
and pay in settlement thereof to the Indemnified Person on or before the
twentieth Business Day following the date the amount is determined, an amount
equal to the amount of any tax (within the meaning of paragraph (b) of the
definition of "excluded obligation" in subsection 6202.1(5) of the regulations
to the Tax Act or paragraph (c) of that definition pursuant to the Proposed
Amendments) payable under the Tax Act (and under any corresponding provincial
legislation) by any Indemnified Person as a consequence of such
failure.  In the event that the CRA (or any similar provincial tax
authority) reduces the amount renounced by the Corporation to the Subscriber
pursuant to subsection 66(12.73) of the Tax Act (or any corresponding provincial
legislation), the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person as to, and pay in settlement thereof to the Indemnified Person an amount
equal to the amount of any tax (within the meaning of paragraph (b) of the
definition of "excluded obligation" in subsection 6202.1(5) of the regulations
to the Tax Act or paragraph (c) of that definition pursuant to the Proposed
Amendments) payable under the Tax Act (and under any corresponding provincial
legislation) by the Indemnified Person as a consequence of such
reduction.   This indemnity is in addition to, and not in
derogation of, any rights of action or recourse that the Subscriber may have
against the Corporation. For certainty, the foregoing indemnity shall have no
force or effect and the Subscriber shall not have any recourse or rights of
action to the extent that such indemnity, recourse or rights of action would
otherwise cause the Flow-Through Shares to be “prescribed shares” within the
meaning of section 6202.1 of the regulations to the Tax Act.

     

    To the
extent that any Person entitled to be indemnified hereunder is not a party to
this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber shall obtain and hold the rights and
benefits of this Subscription Agreement in trust for, and on behalf of, such
Person and such Person shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this
section notwithstanding that such Person is not a party to this Subscription
Agreement.

Subscriber undertakes and agrees that it will not offer or sell the Flow-Through
Shares in the United States unless such shares are registered under the U.S.

Act.

Subscriber, on its own behalf and (if applicable) on behalf of each beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting, represents, warrants and certifies as set out

execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the performance and
compliance with the terms hereof, the subscription for and purchase of the
Subscribed Shares and the completion of the transactions described herein by the
Subscriber will not result in any material breach of, or be in conflict with or
constitute a material default under, or create a state of facts which, after
notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default under any
term or provision of the constating documents, by-laws or resolutions of the
Subscriber or any beneficial purchaser for whom the Subscriber is acting, the
Securities Laws or any other laws applicable to the Subscriber or any beneficial
purchaser for whom the Subscriber is acting, any agreement to which the

party, or any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
the Subscriber or any beneficial purchaser for whom the Subscriber is
acting

     

    (j)           The
Subscriber is subscribing for the Subscribed Shares as principal for its own
account and not for the benefit of any other Person (within the meaning of

trustee or agent (including, for greater certainty, a portfolio manager or
comparable adviser) for a principal, the Subscriber is duly and properly
authorized to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other
necessary documentation in connection with such subscription on behalf of such
beneficial purchaser, who is subscribing as principal for its own account, not

distribution of the Subscribed Shares, and this Subscription Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding agreement of such principal, enforceable in accordance
with its terms against such principal, and the Subscriber acknowledges that the
Corporation and/or the Agents may be required by law to disclose the identity of
such beneficial purchaser for whom the Subscriber is acting and agrees to

    (n)           Other
than the Agents (and any group of investment dealers managed by the Agents for
the purposes of offering the Flow-Through Shares for sale), there is no person
acting or purporting to act in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein who is entitled to any brokerage or finder's fee.  If any
person claims that any fee or other compensation is payable by the Corporation
or the Agents in connection with this subscription for the Subscribed Shares,
the Subscriber covenants to indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and the
Agents with respect thereto and with respect to all costs reasonably incurred in
the defence thereof.

     

    (o)           The
Subscriber is not, with respect to the Corporation or any of its affiliates, a
Control Person and will not become a Control Person by virtue of the purchase of
the Subscribed Shares, and does not intend to act in concert with any other
person to form a Control Person of the Corporation.

     

    (p)           The
Subscriber is not purchasing Flow-Through Shares with knowledge of any material
fact or information concerning the Corporation which has not been generally
disclosed to the public.

     

    (q)           No
person has made to the Subscriber any written or oral
representations:

     

    (i)        
   that any person will resell or repurchase any of the
Flow-Through Shares;

     

    (ii)           that
any person will refund the Subscription Price; or

     

    (iii)          as
to the future price or value of the Flow-Through Shares.

     

    (r)           This
subscription for Flow-Through Shares has not been made through or as a result
of, and the distribution of Flow-Through Shares is not being accompanied by, any
form of advertisement, including, without limitation, in printed public media,
radio, television, internet or telecommunications, including electronic display,
or as part of a general solicitation.

     

    (s)           None

the knowledge of the Subscriber, proceeds obtained or derived, directly or
directly, as a result of illegal activities.

     

    (t)           The

    (u)           If the Subscriber or a beneficial
purchaser for whom it is acting, as the case may be, is a corporation, trust or
partnership, it does not and will not have, in respect of a renunciation of
Resource Expenses hereunder, a "prohibited relationship" with the Corporation
within the meaning of subsection 66(12.671) of the Tax Act.

     

    (v)           Neither
the Subscriber, nor any beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting, as the case
may be, has or will knowingly enter into any agreement or arrangement which will
cause the Flow-Through Shares to be or become "prescribed shares" for purposes
of the Tax Act.

     

    (w)           The
delivery of this subscription, the acceptance hereof by the Corporation and the
issuance of Subscribed Shares to the Subscriber complies with all applicable
laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction of residence and domicile and will not
cause the Corporation or any of its officers or directors to become subject to
or require any disclosure, prospectus or other reporting requirement to which
the Corporation is not currently subject and which is not otherwise contemplated
in this Subscription Agreement.

     

    (x)           If
the Subscriber is a corporation, syndicate, partnership or other form of entity
(other than an investment fund, as defined in National Instrument 45-106), the
Subscriber was not created or is not being used solely to purchase or hold the
Subscribed Shares and has a bona fide purpose other than investing in the
Subscribed Shares.

    (d)           The

    (f)           In

file the Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause it to be declared effective by the SEC, there is no assurance that the

effective by the SEC, the Flow-Through Shares may not be resold by the
Subscriber, except pursuant to an exemption contained under the applicable
securities laws, which may not be available, and if the Registration Statement
is not declared effective, the Flow-Through Shares remain "restricted"

    "THIS

    (h)           The
Agents and/or their counsel, directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives assume no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever
for the accuracy or adequacy of the Public Record or any publicly available
information concerning the Corporation or as to whether all information
concerning the Corporation that is required to be disclosed or filed by the
Corporation under the Securities Laws has been so disclosed or
filed.

     

    (i)   
        The Subscriber and each
beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting shall execute and file, together with
the prescribed fees, all documentation required by the applicable Securities

acting will execute, deliver and file or assist the Corporation in filing such
reports, undertakings and other documents with respect to the issue of the
Subscribed Shares as may be required by any securities commission, stock
exchange or other regulatory authority.

     

    (k)           The
Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting, have been
advised to consult their own legal advisors with respect to trading in the
Subscribed Shares and with respect to the resale restrictions imposed by the
Securities Laws of the United States, any state thereof or any province or
territory in which the Subscriber resides and other applicable securities laws,
and acknowledges that no representation has been made respecting the applicable
hold periods imposed by the Securities Laws or other resale restrictions
applicable to such securities which restrict the ability of the Subscriber (or
others for whom it is acting) to resell such securities that the Subscriber (or
others for whom it is acting) is solely responsible to find out what these
restrictions are and the Subscriber is solely responsible (and neither the
Corporation nor the Agents are in any way responsible) for compliance with
applicable resale restrictions and the Subscriber is aware that it (or the
beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting) may not be able to resell such
securities except in accordance with limited exemptions under the Securities
Laws and other applicable securities laws.

    (l)         
  The Subscriber has not received or been provided with a prospectus,
offering memorandum (within the meaning of the Securities Laws) or any sales or
advertising literature in connection with the Offering and the Subscriber's
decision to subscribe for Flow-Through Shares was not based upon, and the
Subscriber has not relied upon, any verbal or written representations as to
facts made by or on behalf of the Corporation or the Agents. The Subscriber's
decision to subscribe for Flow-Through Shares was based solely upon the Term
Sheet attached hereto as Schedule "B" and information about the Corporation
which is publicly available (any such information having been obtained by the
Subscriber without independent investigation or verification by the
Agents).

     

    (m)           The
Corporation and the Agents, and their respective counsel, are relying on the
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and in the applicable
Schedules attached hereto to determine the Subscriber's eligibility to subscribe
for Flow-Through Shares under applicable Securities Laws and the Subscriber
agrees to indemnify the Corporation, the Agents and each of their respective
directors and officers against all losses (other than loss of profits), claims,
costs, expenses, damages or liabilities which any of them may suffer or incur as
a result of or arising from reliance thereon.  The Subscriber
undertakes to immediately notify the Agents of any change in any statement or
other information relating to the Subscriber set forth in such applicable
Schedules that takes place prior to the Closing Time.

     

    (n)           The
Corporation and the Agents are relying on an exemption from the requirement to
provide the Subscriber with a prospectus under the Securities Laws and, as a
consequence of acquiring Flow-Through Shares pursuant to such exemption, certain
protections, rights and remedies provided by the Securities Laws, including
statutory rights of rescission and/or damages, will not be available to the
Subscriber.

     

    (o)           The
Flow-Through Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from
registration contained in Regulation S of the U.S. Securities
Act.  Following the Closing, the Corporation has agreed to register
the resale of the Flow-Through Shares under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement.

     

    (p)           The
Subscriber, and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting, is responsible
for obtaining such independent legal and tax advice as it considers appropriate
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription
Agreement and the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement,
including without limitation for the proposes of giving representations,
warranties and covenants under this Subscription Agreement.

     

    (q)           There
is no government or other insurance covering the Flow-Through
Shares.

     

    (r)           The
Subscriber acknowledges that the Agents' counsel and the Corporation's counsel
are acting as counsel to the Agents and the Corporation, respectively, and not
as counsel to the Subscriber.

     

    (s)           The
Subscriber acknowledges that all costs and expenses incurred by the Subscriber
(including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel or other advisors
retained by the Subscriber) relating to the purchase of the Subscribed Shares
shall be borne by the Subscriber.

     

    (t)           The
Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting acknowledge that
the Flow-Through Shares are speculative in nature and that there are risks
associated with the purchase of Flow-Through Shares and the Subscriber and each
beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of its investment in the Subscribed Shares, fully
understands the speculative nature of the Subscribed Shares and is able to bear
the economic risk of loss of its entire investment.

     

    (u)           The
Subscriber has evaluated the risks involved in investing in the Common Shares
and has determined that the Common Shares are a suitable investment for the
Subscriber.  Specifically, the aggregate amount of the investments the
Subscriber has in, and the Subscriber's commitments to, all similar investments
that are illiquid is reasonable in relation to the Subscriber's net worth, both
before and after the subscription for and purchase of the Common Shares pursuant
to this Agreement.

    (v)           The
Subscriber represents and warrants further that the Subscriber has no contract,
understanding, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell or transfer or
pledge to such Person or anyone else any of the Common Shares for which the
Subscriber hereby subscribes (in whole or in part); and the Subscriber
represents and warrants that the Subscriber has no plans to enter into any such
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.

     

    (w)          The
Subscriber acknowledges that it has been furnished with such documents,
materials and information as the Subscriber deems necessary or appropriate for
evaluating an investment in the Company.  The Subscriber further
acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers from, the directors and officers of the Company and the Agents,
concerning the terms and conditions of the Common Shares and the
Offering.

     

    6.3                      Reliance
on Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Acknowledgements

     

    The
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the representations, warranties,
covenants and acknowledgements made by the Subscriber in this Subscription
Agreement are made with the intention that they may be relied upon by the
Corporation and the Agents in determining the Subscriber's eligibility (and, if
applicable, the eligibility of others for whom the Subscriber is acting) to
purchase Flow-Through Shares under the Securities Laws.  The
Subscriber further agrees that by accepting Flow-Through Shares, the Subscriber
shall be representing and warranting that such representations, warranties,
acknowledgements and covenants are true as at the Closing Time with the same
force and effect as if they had been made by the Subscriber at the Closing Time
and that they shall survive the purchase by the Subscriber of Flow-Through
Shares and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any
subsequent disposition by the Subscriber of any of such Flow-Through
Shares.

              Resale
      Registration.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              The
      Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the
      SEC no later than a date which is forty-five (45) days after the Issue
      Date (the "Filing Deadline Date") a Registration Statement (the "Initial
      Resale Registration Statement") registering the resale from time to time
      by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities (a "Resale Registration
      Statement"). The Initial Resale Registration Statement shall be on Form
      S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such
      Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with the
      methods of distribution set forth in the Initial Resale Registration
      Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
      cause the Initial Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective
      under the Securities Act no later than the date (the "Effectiveness
      Deadline Date") that is one hundred and twenty (120) days (or, in the case
      of a full review by the SEC, one hundred and eighty (180) days) after the
      Issue Date, and to keep, subject to Section 3(d)(A) hereof, the Initial
      Resale Registration Statement (or any Subsequent Resale Registration
      Statement) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
      expiration of the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that if the SEC
      determines that the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3 to register the
      resale by any Holder of the Registrable Securities because such Holder(s)
      is deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company (individually or
      collectively), then the Filing Deadline Date with respect to any such
      Holders shall be 90 days after the Issue Date and the Effectiveness
      Deadline Date shall be 180 days after the Issue Date.  Each
      Holder that became a Notice Holder on or prior to the date ten (10)
      Business Days prior to the time that the Initial Resale Registration
      Statement became effective shall be named as a selling security holder in
      the Initial Resale Registration Statement and the related Prospectus in
      such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to
      purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law
      (other than laws not generally applicable to all such Holders).
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be entitled to have the
      Registrable Securities held by it covered by such Resale Registration
      Statement unless such Holder has provided a Notice and Questionnaire in
      accordance with and in compliance with Section 4. The Company may permit
      any of its security holders to include any of the Company's securities in
      the Initial Resale Registration Statement or any Subsequent Resale
      Registration Statement.

              (b)

            	
              If
      the Initial Resale Registration Statement or any Subsequent Resale
      Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time
      during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending
      the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within thirty (30) days
      of such cessation of effectiveness amend the Resale Registration Statement
      in a manner reasonably expected by the Company to obtain the withdrawal of
      the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional
      Resale Registration Statement covering all of the securities that as of
      the date of such filing are Registrable Securities (a "Subsequent Resale
      Registration Statement"). If a Subsequent Resale Registration Statement is
      filed, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
      Subsequent Resale Registration Statement to become effective as promptly
      as is reasonably practicable after such filing or, if filed during a
      Deferral Period, after the expiration of such Deferral Period, and to keep
      such Registration Statement (or Subsequent Resale Registration Statement),
      subject to Section 3(d)(A) hereof, continuously effective until the end of
      the Effectiveness Period.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              The
      Company shall supplement and amend the Initial or any Subsequent Resale
      Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or
      instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for
      such Resale Registration Statement, if required by the Securities
      Act.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              Each
      Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell
      Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement and
      related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance with this Section
      2(d), Section 3(d) and Section 4. Each Holder of Registrable Securities
      wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Initial or any
      Subsequent Resale Registration Statement and related Prospectus agrees to
      deliver a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company promptly following the
      date hereof and notify the Company of any change in such information at
      least five (5) business days prior to the filing of the Initial Resale
      Registration Statement or subsequent Resale Registration Statement. From
      and after the date the Initial Resale Registration Statement is declared
      effective, the Company shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable
      after the date a fully completed and legible Notice and Questionnaire is
      received by the Company, (i) if required by applicable law, file with the
      SEC a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or
      prepare and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the
      related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document
      incorporated therein by reference or file any other document required by
      the SEC so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is
      named as a selling security holder in the Resale Registration Statement
      and the related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to
      deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in
      accordance with applicable law (other than laws not generally applicable
      to all Holders of Registrable Securities wishing to sell Registrable
      Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement and related
      Prospectus) and using the manner of sale specified in the Notice and
      Questionnaire, and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment
      to the Resale Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts
      to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the
      Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; (ii) provide such
      Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); and
      (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after
      the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment
      filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); provided, that if such Notice and
      Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so
      inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take
      the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration
      of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(d), provided, further,
      that if under applicable law the Company has more than one option as to
      the type or manner of making any such filing, the Company will make the
      required filing or filings in the manner or of a type that is reasonably
      expected to result in the earliest availability of the Prospectus for
      effecting resales of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything
      contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation
      to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling security
      holder in any Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided,
      however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the
      provisions of this Section 2(d) of this Agreement (whether or not such
      Holder was a Notice Holder at the time the Registration Statement was
      initially declared effective) shall be named as a selling security holder
      in the Registration Statement or related Prospectus subject to and in
      accordance with the requirements of this Section
  2(d).

      Procedures.

            

    

     

    In
connection with the registration obligations of the Company under Section 2
hereof, the Company shall:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              Prepare
      and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to
      each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration
      Statement continuously effective for the applicable period specified in
      Section 2(a); cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any
      required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed
      pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the
      Securities Act; and use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the
      provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the
      disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement
      during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with the intended methods of
      disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration
      Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so
    supplemented.

      Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will
      be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments
      on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for
      acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and
      date not later than 48 hours after the submission of such
      request.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              Use
      commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
      suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the lifting of
      any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of
      any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in which
      they have been qualified for sale, in either case at the earliest possible
      moment or, if any such order or suspension is made effective during any
      Deferral Period, at the earliest possible moment after the expiration of
      such Deferral Period.

      (A) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness
      of the Resale Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with
      respect to the Resale Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of
      the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of
      any fact (a "Material Event") as a result of which any Registration
      Statement shall 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 not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
      necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
      under which they were made, not misleading (including, in any such case,
      as a result of the non-availability of financial statements), or (C) the
      occurrence or existence of any development, event, fact, situation or
      circumstance relating to the Company that, in the discretion of the
      Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Resale
      Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, (i) in the case of
      clause (B) above, subject to the next sentence, as promptly as is
      reasonably practicable prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such
      Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any
      document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
      document that would be incorporated by reference into such Registration
      Statement and Prospectus so that such Registration Statement does 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 not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain
      any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
      necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
      circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter
      delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold
      thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a
      Registration Statement, subject to the next sentence, use commercially
      reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is
      reasonably practicable, and (ii) give notice (via facsimile, telephone or
      electronic mail followed by a written notice by first-class mail) to the
      Notice Holders that the availability of the Resale Registration Statement
      is suspended (a "Deferral Notice") and, upon receipt of any Deferral
      Notice, each Notice Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities
      pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Notice Holder's receipt
      of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in clause
      (i) above, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the
      Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or
      supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by
      reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use commercially reasonable
      efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the
      case of clause (A) above, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, (y) in
      the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole reasonable judgment
      of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be
      prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if
      necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as reasonably
      practicable thereafter and (z) in the case of clause (C) above, as soon
      as, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, such suspension is no
      longer appropriate. The period during which the availability of the
      Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the "Deferral
      Period") is not to exceed (i) 20 consecutive days at any one time; (ii) 30
      days in the aggregate in any three-month period; or (iii) 60 days in the
      aggregate during any 12-month period, or as otherwise required by
      applicable regulatory authority; provided that, the number of days the
      Company is required to keep the Registration Statement effective shall be
      extended by the number of days equal to the aggregate Deferral Period(s).
      The first day of any Deferral Period must be at least two (2) trading days
      after the last day of any prior Deferral
Period.

              During
      the Effectiveness Period (except during such periods that a Deferral
      Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked), deliver to each Notice
      Holder in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
      Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus
      or Prospectuses relating to such Registrable Securities and any amendment
      or supplement thereto as such Notice Holder may reasonably request; and
      the Company hereby consents (except during such periods that a Deferral
      Notice is outstanding and has not been revoked) to the use of such
      Prospectus or each amendment or supplement thereto by each Notice Holder
      in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
      covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the
      manner set forth therein.

              Subject
      to Section 3(d), prior to any public offering of the Registrable
      Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, use commercially
      reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Notice
      Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption
      from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities
      for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
      jurisdictions within the United States as any Notice Holder reasonably
      requests in writing (which request may be included in the Notice and
      Questionnaire), it being agreed that no such registration or qualification
      will be made unless so requested; prior to any public offering of the
      Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement, use
      commercially reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or
      qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
      Period in connection with such Notice Holder's offer and sale of
      Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration or qualification (or
      exemption therefrom) and do any and all other acts or things necessary to
      enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable
      Securities in the manner set forth in the relevant Registration Statement
      and the related Prospectus; provided, that the Company will not be
      required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in
      securities in any jurisdiction where it is not otherwise qualified or (ii)
      take any action that would subject it to general service of process in
      suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
      subject.

              Holder's
      Obligations.

            

    

     

    Each
Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Holder of
Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus
relating thereto, unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a properly
completed Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to this Section 4
(including the information required to be included in such Notice and
Questionnaire) and the information set forth in the next sentence. Each Holder
of Registrable Securities wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Initial or any Subsequent Resale Registration Statement and related Prospectus
agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire to the Company promptly following
the date hereof and notify the Company of any change in such information at
least five (5) business days prior to the filing of the Initial Resale
Registration Statement or Subsequent Resale Registration Statement. Each Notice
Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the Company in writing all information
required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished
to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading, any other information
regarding such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities
as may be required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement under
applicable law or pursuant to SEC comments and any information otherwise
required by the Company to comply with applicable law or regulations. Each
Holder further agrees, following termination of the Effectiveness Period, to
notify the Company, within ten (10) Business Days of a request, of the amount of
Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and, in the
absence of a response, the Company may assume that all of the Holder's
Registrable Securities were so sold.

              Registration
      Expenses.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
performance by the Company of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 of this
Agreement whether or not any of the Registration Statements are declared
effective. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
(x) with respect to filings required to be made with the NYSE AMEX Equities and
(y) of compliance with federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws to the
extent such filings or compliance are required pursuant to this Agreement
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of the counsel
specified in the next sentence in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the
Registrable Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Notice
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement may designate)), (ii) printing expenses, (iii)
duplication expenses relating to copies of any Registration Statement or
Prospectus delivered to any Holders hereunder, and (iv) fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company in connection with the Resale Registration Statement,
provided, however, that the Company shall not be responsible for any brokers'
fees, commissions or discounts in connection with the sale of Registrable
Securities or the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Holders. In
addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal
or accounting duties), and its expenses for any annual audit, the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities
on any securities exchange on which the same securities of the Company are then
listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts,
retained by the Company.

    The
Company covenants that, if at any time before the end of the Effectiveness
Period the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act, it will cooperate with any Holder of Registrable Securities and take such
further reasonable action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request in writing (including, without limitation, making such reasonable
representations as any such Holder may reasonably request), all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of Rule 144
under the Securities Act and customarily taken in connection with sales pursuant
to such exemptions. Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with the filing requirements of Rule 144.

              The
      Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable
      Securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement, the directors,
      officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder and each
      person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the
      Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims,
      damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may
      become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal
      or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar
      as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
      thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
      untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration
      Statement or in any amendment thereof, in each case at the time such
      became effective under the Securities Act, or in any preliminary
      Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement
      thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
      omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary
      Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under
      which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
      indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
      incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such
      loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
      Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
      loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such
      untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
      omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
      information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the party claiming
      indemnification specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity
      agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may
      otherwise have.

              Each
      Holder of securities covered by the Resale Registration Statement
      severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
      Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Resale
      Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the
      meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same
      extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder,
      but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished
      to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion
      in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity
      agreement shall be acknowledged by each Notice Holder that is not a
      Subscriber in such Notice Holder's Notice and Questionnaire and shall be
      in addition to any liability that any such Notice Holder may otherwise
      have.

              (c)

            	
              Promptly
      after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of
      the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
      respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
      Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
      thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
      relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless such
      failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial
      rights and defenses or otherwise materially prejudices the indemnifying
      party; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
      from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the
      indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The
      indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local
      counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's
      expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which
      indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not
      thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate
      counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying
      party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth
      below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably
      satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
      party's election to appoint counsel (including one local counsel) to
      represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall
      have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and
      the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses
      of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
      indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such
      counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential
      defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
      party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have
      reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
      and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to
      those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party
      shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
      party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after
      notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party
      shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the
      expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without
      the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise
      or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or
      threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
      indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
      the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
      action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
      unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising
      out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding.

            

    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (d)

            	
              If
      the indemnification to which an indemnified party is entitled under this
      Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient although
      applicable in accordance with its terms to hold harmless an indemnified
      party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
      referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
      aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
      incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, in such proportion as is
      appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or
      parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in
      connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
      liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
      equitable considerations.

            

    

     

    The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders of the Registrable
Securities or the Subscribers on the other hand shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or by the Holder of the Registrable
Securities or the Subscribers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.

     

    The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d). The aggregate amount of
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses incurred by an indemnified
party and referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any
out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.

     

    Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, neither the Holder of any Registrable
Securities nor the Subscribers shall be required to indemnify or contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds received from the sale of
the Registrable Securities by such Holder of Registrable Securities exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Holder of Registrable Securities or the
Subscribers has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

    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.

     

    For
purposes of this Section 7(d), each person, if any, who controls the Subscribers
or any Holder of Registrable Securities within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Subscribers or such Holder, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company.

      regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the
      Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 7,
      and shall survive the sale by a Holder of Registrable Securities covered
      by the Resale Registration
Statement.

      a party to, nor shall it, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter
      into, any agreement with respect to the Company's securities that
      conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities
      in this Agreement. The Company represents and warrants that the rights
      granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder do not in any
      way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's
      securities under any other
agreements.

      and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not
      be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders
      of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the
      provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
      rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being
      sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or
      indirectly affect the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities
      may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable
      Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
      Statement; provided, that the provisions of this sentence may not be
      amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the
      provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Holder of
      Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment,
      modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound

              Approval
      of Holders. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a
      specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder,
      Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than
      the Subscribers or subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities if such
      subsequent Holders are deemed to be such Affiliates solely by reason of
      their holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in
      determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of
      such required percentage.

      and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
      binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto and,
      without requiring any express assignment, shall inure to the benefit of
      and be binding upon transferees of each Holder of any Registrable
      Securities; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any
      assignment, transfer of other disposition of Registrable Securities in
      violation of the terms of the Subscription Agreements. If any transferee
      of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether
      by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be
      subject to all of the terms of this Agreement and by taking and holding
      such Registrable Securities such person shall be conclusively deemed to
      have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions
      of this Agreement.  Each transferee of the Registrable
      Securities is not entitled to resell its Registrable Securities on the
      Resale Registration Statement unless and until it has complied with the
      provisions of Section 2(d) hereof.

              Severability.
      If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held
      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 thereby, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable
      best 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 being intended that all of the
      rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the
      fullest extent permitted by
law.

      exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties
      hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and the
      registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable
      Securities. Except as provided in the Subscription Agreements, there are
      no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those
      set forth or referred to herein, with respect to the registration rights
      granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities. This
      Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings among the
      parties hereto with respect to such registration
  rights.

      terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration of the
      Effectiveness Period or (ii) such time as there shall be no Registrable
      Securities.
