    2. REGISTRATION
      RIGHTS.

     

    2.1Demand
      Registration.

     

    2.1.1.Request
      for Registration.
      At any
      time and from time to time on or after the date that is (i) after the Company
      consummates a business combination with respect to the Insider Warrants (or
      underlying shares of Common Stock) or (ii) three months prior to the Release
      Date with respect to all Registrable Securities (to the extent not previously
      registered by the Company pursuant to the preceding subclause (i)), the holders
      of a majority-in-interest of such Insider Warrants (or underlying shares of
      Common Stock) or other Registrable Securities, as the case may be, 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 Insider Warrants
      (or underlying shares of Common Stock) or other Registrable Securities, as
      the
      case may be (a “Demand
      Registration”).
      Any
      demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares 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 shares of Registrable Securities
      in such 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 all
      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
      under this Agreement 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
      the
      offering; 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 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 holders initiating the Demand
      Registration.

    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 shares 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, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant
      to
      written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders
      of
      the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum
      number of shares 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 shares, as applicable, the “Maximum
      Number of Shares”),
      then
      the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable
      Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding
      Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person
      has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of
      shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as
      "Pro
      Rata"))
      that
      can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to
      the
      extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
      foregoing clause (i), 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; (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

      Purchase Option”
and
      such registrable securities, the "Option
      Securities")
      as to
      which "piggy-back" registration has been requested by the holders thereof,
      Pro
      Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and
      (iv)
      fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached
      under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the 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.

     

    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. 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.

    2.2Piggy-Back
      Registration.

     

    2.2.1.Piggy-Back
      Rights.
      If at
      any time on or after the date the Company consummates a business combination
      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 stockholders of the Company for their account
      (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without
      limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i)
      filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii)
      for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing
      stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity
      securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the
      Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders
      of
      Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten
      (10)
      days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount
      and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s)
      of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or
      Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of
      Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale
      of
      such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request
      in
      writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back
      Registration”).
      The
      Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such
      registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter
      or
      Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable
      Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same
      terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit
      the
      sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
      the
      intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable
      Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back
      Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into
      an
      underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters
      selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

     

    2.2.2.Reduction
      of Offering.
      If the
      managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is
      to be
      an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable
      Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common
      Stock
      which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock,
      if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written
      contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable
      Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has
      been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any,
      as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual
      piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds
      the
      Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such
      registration:

     

    a) If
      the
      registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) 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; (B) second, to the extent
      that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
      clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised
      of
      Registrable Securities and Option Securities, as to which registration has
      been
      requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration
      rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding
      the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum
      Number of shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B),
      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
      piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without
      exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    b) If
      the
      registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of holders of
      Option Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities
      for
      the account of the demanding persons, Pro Rata, that can be sold without
      exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the
      Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A),
      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; (C) third,
      to
      the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
      foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata,
      as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that
      can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth,
      to
      the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
      foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), 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, that
      can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

     

    c) 
      If the
      registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons
      other than either the holders of Registrable Securities or of Option Securities,
      (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of
      the
      demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
      Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not
      been
      reached under the foregoing clause (A), 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; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number
      of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B),
      collectively the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of
      Registrable Securities and Option Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration
      has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Unit Purchase Option,
      as applicable, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
      and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
      reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), 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, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
      Shares.

    2.2.3.Withdrawal.
      Any
      holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for
      inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving
      written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own
      determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand
      pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration
      statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
      Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred
      by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back
      Registration as provided in Section 3.3.

     

    2.3Registrations
      on Form S-3.
      The
      holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request
      in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such
      Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which
      may be available at such time (“Form
      S-3”);
      provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such
      request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request,
      the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration
      to
      all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable
      thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or
      holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
      all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the
      Company, if any, of any other holder or holders joining in such request as
      are
      specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt
      of
      such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
      not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3:
      (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders
      of
      the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities
      of
      the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell
      Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at 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.

     

    3. REGISTRATION
      PROCEDURES.

     

    3.1Filings;
      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 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
      effective and use its best efforts to keep it 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 or Vice Chairman 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 365-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 of
      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); and (iv) any request by the Commission
      for any amendment or supplement to 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 prospectus or any
      amendment or supplement thereto, including documents 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 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 or subject
      itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

     

    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.

     

    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

      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
      participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and
      any

      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 requested by any of them in connection with such
      Registration Statement.

      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.

     

    3.1.10.Earnings
      Statement.
      The
      Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission
      and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as
      practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months,
      beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the registration
      statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
      11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

     

    3.1.11.Listing.
      The
      Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities 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.

     

    3.2Obligation
      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 Registration Statement covering such Registrable
      Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus
      contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of
“insiders” to 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.

     

    3.3Registration
      Expenses.
      The
      Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand
      Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant
      to
      Section 2.2, and any registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section
      2.3,
      and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations
      under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes
      effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees;
      (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws
      (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky

      the
      Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and

      in
      connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section
      3.1.11; (vi) National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fees; (vii) fees
      and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for
      independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including

      letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses
      of
      any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration
      and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders
      of a
      majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such
      registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting
      discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities
      being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling
      commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten
      offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses
      of
      the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each
      is selling in such offering.

    3.4Information.
      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.

     

    4. INDEMNIFICATION
      AND CONTRIBUTION.

     

    4.1Indemnification
      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 Party for any
      legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified
      Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss,
      judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
      Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense,
      loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue
      statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
      in
      such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or
      summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and
      in
      conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such
      selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify
      any
      Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates,
      directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such
      Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification
      provided above in this Section 4.1.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    4.2Indemnification
      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 selling holder and each other person,
      if
      any, who controls another selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning
      of the Securities 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, and shall reimburse
      the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or
      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.

     

    4.3Conduct
      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, 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 actually prejudiced by such
      failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to
      any
      claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying
      Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the
      extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume
      control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified
      Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of
      its
      election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the
      Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal
      or
      other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection
      with
      the defense thereof other than reasonable costs 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.

    4.4Contribution.

     

    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
      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

     

    4.4.3.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. UNDERWRITING
      AND DISTRIBUTION.

     

    5.1Rule
      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 hereafter
      adopted by the Commission.

     

    6. MISCELLANEOUS.

      Corporation or its designees in connection with the Company’s initial public
      offering in ________ 2006, the Company represents and warrants that no person,
      other than a holder of the Registrable Securities, has any right to require
      the
      Company to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for 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.

    6.10Remedies
      Cumulative.
      In the
      event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement
      to
      be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Investor or any other holder
      of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by
      suit

      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.
