No Registration Default Payment shall be required if prior to the Effectiveness Deadline the Transfer Restricted Securities are included in an Incidental Registration under Section 2.2. 8 f. All of the Company's obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Registration Default Payments) set forth in the preceding paragraph which are outstanding or exist with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. g. Immediately upon the occurrence or the termination of a Registration Default Trigger, the Company shall give the Notice Holders, so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, notice of such commencement or termination of the obligation to pay Registration Default Payments with regard to the Warrants, and the amount thereof and of the nature of the default giving rise to such commencement or the event giving rise to such termination, as the case may be (such notice to be contained in a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company and detailing such event (the "OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE"), and prior to receipt of such Officer's Certificate, the Notice Holders shall be entitled to assume that no such commencement or termination has occurred. h.

(i) Following an Effective Registration, if the Company at any time or from time to time proposes or is required to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (x) in a registration on Form S-4, S-3 (to the extent such form relates solely to a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan) or S-8 or any successor form to such forms, or (y) at such times as a Shelf Registration Statement is effective) whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other holders of its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall deliver prompt written notice (which notice shall be given (i) in the event that the Company has publicly disclosed such proposed registration, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to such proposed registration and (ii) in the event that the Company has not publicly disclosed such proposed registration (a "NON-PUBLIC INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION NOTICE"), no more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing of such proposed registration with the SEC (such period not in excess of ten (10) Business Days, the "NON-PUBLIC INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION NOTICE PERIOD")) to all Holders of its intention to undertake such registration, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration and distribution (including the anticipated range of the proposed offering price, the class and number of securities proposed to be registered and the distribution arrangements) and of such Holders' right to participate in such registration under this Section 2.2 as hereinafter provided. If the Holder elects to participate in such proposed registration, the Holder agrees to keep the contents of any Non-Public Incidental Registration Notice confidential prior to the filing of such proposed registration with the SEC and if the Holder has elected not to participate in such proposed registration, the Holder agrees to keep the contents of any Non-Public Incidental Registration Notice confidential during the Non-Public Incidental Registration Notice Period. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), upon the written request of any Holder made within twenty (20) calendar days, or in the case of a Non-Public Incidental Registration Notice, within five (5) Business Days, after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall specify the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Transfer Restricted Securities requested by Holders to be so registered (an "INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION"), to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Transfer Restricted Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Transfer Restricted Securities in the Incidental Registration Statement and shall cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective with respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the registration procedures set forth in Section 3.

There is no limitation on the number of such Incidental Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2 which the Company is obligated to effect. (iii) The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof. b.

The Company shall promptly furnish to the Buyers (and, upon written request from any Notice Holder to such Notice Holder), without charge, (i) at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, excluding all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits thereto, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Buyer, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. f.

The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of the Shelf Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement to a time and date not later than 48 hours after the submission of such request. h. The Company shall promptly furnish to the Legal Counsel copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Shelf Registration Statement; provided, that such correspondence shall not be furnished to any Buyer unless such Buyer agrees to keep confidential any information regarding such correspondence. 13 i.

Subject to the exceptions contained in (i) and (ii) of Section 3(f) above, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other federal, state and local governmental agencies or authorities, and self-regulatory organizations in the United States as may be necessary to enable the Notice Holders to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement; without limitation to the foregoing, the Company and the Holders shall provide all such information as may be required by the NASD in connection with the offering under the Registration Statement of the Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, such as may be required by NASD Rule 2710 or 2720), and each shall cooperate with the other in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD by such Notice Holder in that regard. l. Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 3(c)(iv) or 3(c)(v) hereof, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement, or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file a document which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Transfer Restricted Securities included therein, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in each case as then amended or supplemented, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, in the case of a post-effective amendment, use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as practicable; provided, that 14 the Company's obligations under this paragraph 3(l) shall be suspended if the Company has suspended the use of the Prospectus in accordance with Section 2.1(d) hereof and given notice of such suspension to Notice Holders, it being understood that the Company's obligations under this Section 3(l) shall be automatically reinstated at the end of such Suspension Period. m. The Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement hereunder, a CUSIP number for the Transfer Restricted Securities registered under such Registration Statement. n. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and shall make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated by the SEC thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) for a twelve (12)-month period commencing on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the effective date of any Registration Statement or each post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement, which such statements shall be made available no later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period or 90 days after the end of the 12-month period, if the 12-month period coincides with the fiscal year of the Company. o. The Company shall cause all Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants to be reserved for listing on each securities exchange or quotation system on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed no later than the date the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective and, shall cause all Class A Common Stock to be so listed when issued, and, in connection therewith, to make such filings as may be required under the Exchange Act and to have such filings declared effective as and when required thereunder. p. The Company may require each Notice Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Notice Holder and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities sought by the Notice and Questionnaire and such additional information as may, from time to time, be required by the Securities Act and/or the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority, and the obligations of the Company to any Notice Holder under this Agreement shall be expressly conditioned on the compliance of such Notice Holder with such request. q. If reasonably requested in writing in connection with any disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours by a representative for the Notice Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities and any broker-dealers, attorneys and accountants retained by such Notice Holders, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the appropriate executive officers, directors and designated employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours all relevant information reasonably requested by such representative for the Notice Holders or any such broker-dealers, attorneys or accountants in connection with such disposition, in each case as is customary for similar "due diligence" examinations; provided, however, that any information 15 that is designated by the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Persons, unless disclosure thereof is made in connection with a court, administrative or regulatory proceeding or required by law, or such information has become available to the public generally through the Company or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality. r. Each Notice Holder agrees that, upon receipt of notice of the happening of an event described in Sections 3(c)(ii) through and including 3(c)(vi), it shall forthwith discontinue (and shall cause its agents and representatives to discontinue) disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities and will not resume disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities until such Holder has received copies of an amended or supplemented Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, or until such Notice Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed or that the relevant Suspension Period has been terminated, as the case may be; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the sale, transfer or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities by a Holder in a transaction which is exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, so long as such Holder does not and is not required to deliver the applicable Prospectus or Registration Statement in connection with such sale, transfer or other disposition, as the case may be; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 3(o) shall not prevent the occurrence of a Registration Default Trigger or otherwise limit the obligation of the Company to pay Registration Default Payments. s. Each Notice Holder shall promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information requiring an amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus provided in such Notice Holder's Notice and Questionnaire that may occur subsequent to the date thereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective. t. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Warrant Shares covered by the Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof and shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Legal Counsel in an amount not to exceed $25,000 per registration. Such fees and expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with the NASD); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing of Prospectuses and certificates for the Class A Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants) and the Company's expenses for messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing (or authorizing for quotation) the Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company. The Company shall bear its internal expenses (including, without 16 limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal, accounting or other duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, each Holder shall bear the expense of any broker's commission, agency fee and underwriter's discount or commission, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. 5. Holdback Arrangements. The Company and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, if requested in writing by the sole or lead managing underwriter in connection with a Qualified IPO, not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, hedge, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Transfer Restricted Securities or warrants or other rights to purchase Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Transfer Restricted Securities, or warrants or other rights to purchase Transfer Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise (the agreements contained in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5, collectively, the "LOCK-UP AGREEMENT"), during the time period reasonably requested by the sole or lead managing underwriter not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days, beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement for such Qualified IPO (except as part of such underwritten offering or pursuant to registrations on Forms S-4, S-8 or S-3 (to the extent such form relates solely to a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan)) without the prior written consent of the sole or lead managing underwriter (the "PUBLIC OFFERING LOCK-UP PERIOD"); provided, however, that if (i) during the period that begins on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Public Offering Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Public Offering Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Public Offering Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release (and does release) earnings results during the sixteen (16) day period beginning on the last day of the Public Offering Lock-Up Period, the restrictions imposed shall continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three (3) Business Days after the date on which the issuance of the earnings release or the material news or material event occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall not be obligated to enter into the Lock-Up Agreement unless (A) all officers and directors of the Company and all Persons holding at least 2% of the Company's voting securities and/or securities of the Company convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, voting securities of the Company enter into identical agreements, with the agreement of the Holders (including the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) being on no more onerous terms than any other agreements entered into by any other Person (the "OTHER LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS"), and (B) the Lock-Up Agreement is explicitly conditioned on the Holder receiving the benefits of any release or modification of any Other Lock-Up Agreement for any other Person and (ii) the Lock-Up Agreement shall automatically terminate upon any release or termination of any Other Lock-Up Agreement of any other Person. 17 6. Indemnification and Contribution. a. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Registration Statement, its directors, officers, partners, members and employees and each Person, if any, who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6 as a "HOLDER") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof, to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any Prospectus, or 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 necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that: (i) the Company shall 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 Holder Information; (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any Registration Statement, or in any Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of a Holder from whom the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder occurs under the circumstance where it shall have been established that: (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Prospectus, and any amendments and supplements thereto, to such Holder; (x) delivery of the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplements thereto, was required by the Securities Act to be made to such Person; (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Prospectus was corrected in amendments or supplements thereto delivered to such Holder; and (z) there was not received by such Person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such Person, a copy of such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus; and (iii) the indemnification provisions of this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage or liability if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have. This indemnity agreement will not apply to any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arising from an offer or sale, occurring during a Suspension Period, of Transfer Restricted Securities by a Notice Holder who has previously received notice from the Company of the commencement of the Suspension Period pursuant to Section 3(c)(vii). b. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each Person, if any, 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 the Holders and shall reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action, but only with reference to Holder Information supplied by such Holder. In no event shall any Holder, it directors, officers, partners, members or employees or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total 18 amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Holder may otherwise have. c. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified), and to the extent that it may elect, by written notice, delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants (including any impleaded parties) in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, upon advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to each select one separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expense of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), approved by the Holders in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 6, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action); (ii) 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 or commencement of the action; (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; or (iv) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would, upon the advice of counsel, present such counsel with a conflict of interest. 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 19 indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. Subject to the provisions of the immediately following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or the consent to the entry of judgment in connection with any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action other than a judgment entered with the consent of such indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 6(c) and to which it would be entitled under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if: (x) such settlement is entered into more than sixty (60) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of such request for reimbursement, (y) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least forty-five (45) days prior to such settlement being entered into and such settlement is entered into on such terms and (z) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement (unless such reimbursement is disputed in good faith). Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation arising therefrom. d. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively, "LOSSES") to which the indemnified party may be subject to the fullest extent permitted by law from the sale of the Warrants; provided, however, that in no case shall an indemnifying party that is a Holder be responsible for any amount in excess of the total price at which the Transfer Restricted Securities are sold by such Holder to a purchaser. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and such Holder shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of such Holder on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or relates to Holder Information supplied by such Holder, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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 with respect to claims arising directly out of or relating to such fraudulent misrepresentation who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6(d), each Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each Person who controls the 20 Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). e. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. f. The provisions of this Section 6 will remain in full force and effect regardless of (i) the termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, any underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in Section 6 hereof and (iii) the sale by a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by a Registration Statement. g. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act in a timely manner so long as the Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding. If at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities, make available such information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A. The Company further covenants that, for as long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, it will take such further action as any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A. Upon the written request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 7. Miscellaneous. a. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, entered into nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. In addition, the Company shall not grant to any holder of any securities of the Company (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in such capacity) the right to include any of its securities in the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in this Agreement other than the Transfer Restricted Securities. b. Amendments and Waivers.

The Company hereby shall extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. Any heir, successor or assign of a Holder wishing to avail itself of the benefits of this Agreement 22 agrees to acquire and hold the Transfer Restricted Securities subject to all of the terms hereof. In the event that any other Person shall succeed to the Company under the Warrants, then such successor shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders, whereby such successor shall assume all of the Company's obligations under this Agreement. e. Counterparts.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock as described in the Registration Rights Agreement dated August 5, 2005. The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, - on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; - in the over-the-counter market; - in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; - through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; - block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; - purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; - an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; - privately negotiated transactions; - short sales; - sales pursuant to Rule 144; B-1 - broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; - a combination of any such methods of sale; and - any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus short pursuant to this prospectus and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers who in turn may sell such shares. The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified B-2 for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, estimated to be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution. Once sold under the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our Affiliates, as that term is defined in the Securities Act.
