5.7   Sole Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5, the Purchaser makes no representation or warranty to the Company, express or implied, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.   Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor. No representation or warranty made by a party shall be limited or modified by knowledge (actual, constructive or imputed) of the other party as a result of its due diligence investigation or otherwise. A party may not invoke the other party’s knowledge (actual, constructive or imputed) of facts which might make a representation untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading as a defense to a claim for breach or failure of a condition.

SECTION 7.   Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act.

7.1   Registration Procedures and Expenses.

(a)   As soon as practicable, but in any event no later thirty (30) following the Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form SB-2 or other applicable form as determined by the Company (the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering the sale of the Shares by the Purchaser from time to time on the facilities of any securities exchange or trading system on which the common stock of the Company is then traded or in privately-negotiated transactions, which Registration Statement shall contain all material non-public information disclosed to the Purchaser by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares. For purposes of this Section 7.1, the term “Shares” shall include any other securities of the Company issued in exchange for the Shares, as a dividend on the Shares or in connection with a stock split or other reorganization transaction affecting the Shares. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date (the “Registration Effective Date”).

(b)   The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus forming a part thereof as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earliest date, after the date on which all of the Shares have been purchased pursuant to this Agreement on which (i) all the Shares have been disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) all of the Shares then held by the Purchaser may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume, whether pursuant to Rule 144(k) or otherwise, or (iii) the Company has determined that all Shares then held by the Purchaser may be sold without restriction under the Securities Act and has removed any stop transfe r instructions relating to such Shares and offered to cause to be removed any restrictive legends on the certificates, if any representing such Shares (the period between the Registration Effective Date and the earliest of such dates is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”). At any time after the end of the Registration Period, the Company may withdraw the Registration Statement and its obligations under this Section 7 (other than its obligations under Section 7.3) shall automatically terminate.

(c)   The Company shall take all lawful action such that the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto and the prospectus forming a part thereof does not, on the Registration Effective Date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any facts during the Registration Period that make any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or the related prospectus untrue in any material respect or wh ich material fact is omitted from the Registration Statement or related prospectus that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or related prospectus so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (taking into account any prior amendments or supplements), the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser, and, subject to the provisions of paragraph (d), as soon as reasonably practicable prepare (but, subject to paragraph (d), in no event more than five (5) business days in the case of a supplement or seven (7) business days in the case of a post-effective amendment) and file with the Commission a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser of Shares from the Purchaser, such prospectus w ill not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)   The Company shall not be obligated to file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the prospectus constituting a part thereof during the continuance of a Blackout Event; provided, however, that no Blackout Event may be deemed to exist for more than 60 days. A “Blackout Event” means any of the following: (a) the possession by the Company of material information that is not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement or prospectus, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company or that disclosure of such information in the Registration Statement or the prospectus c onstituting a part thereof would be materially detrimental to the business and affairs of the Company; or (b) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company, be materially adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement or prospectus at such time. Without the express written consent of the Purchaser, if required to permit the continued sale of Shares by the Purchaser, a post-effective amendment or supplement to Registration Statement or the prospectus constituting a part thereof must be filed no later than the 61^st day following commencement of a Blackout Event.

(e)   At least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the prospectus forming a part thereof (or any supplement thereto), the Company shall provide draft copies thereof to the Purchaser and shall consider incorporating into such documents such comments as the Purchaser (and its counsel) may propose to be incorporated therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prospectus supplement, the form of which has previously been provided to the Purchaser, need be delivered in draft form to the Purchaser.

(f)   The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of the Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof: (i) the receipt of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the Registration Period, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualif ication or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(g)   The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(h)   The Company shall file or cause to be filed such documents as are required to be filed by the Company for normal Blue Sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented.

(i)   With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees, throughout the Registration Period and so long as either Purchaser owns Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, to:

   (i)   comply with the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of Rule 144; and

   (ii)   file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of a Purchaser, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of its Shares pursuant to, Rule 144.

(j)   The Company shall bear all expenses incurred by it and the Purchaser (other than underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions) in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (i) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

7.2   Covenants of the Purchaser.

(a)   If at any time or from time to time after the Registration Effective Date, the Company notifies the Purchaser in writing that the Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof (taking into account any prior amendments or supplements thereto) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Purchaser shall not offer or sell any Shares or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Shares, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to such untrue statement or omission until the Purchaser receives written notice from the Company that such untrue statement or omission no longer exists or has been corrected or disclosed in an effective post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a valid prospectus supplement to the prospectus forming a part thereof.

(b)   In connection with the sale of any Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Purchaser shall deliver to the purchaser thereof the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement and all relevant supplements thereto which have been provided by the Company to the Purchaser on or prior to the applicable delivery date, all in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any applicable Blue Sky laws.

(c)   The Purchaser will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with the performance by the Company of its obligations under Section 7.1, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Company (which shall include all information regarding the Purchaser, and any person who beneficially owns Shares held by a Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and the proposed manner of sale of the Shares required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares. Each Purchaser hereby consents to be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement, if applicable, in accordance with current Commission policy and, if necessary, to join in the request of the Company for the acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

7.3   Indemnification. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Purchaser’s Affiliate” shall mean each affiliate of the Purchaser and each officer, director, shareholder, representative and agent of the Purchaser and each such affiliate, and the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.

(a)   The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Affiliate, and their officers and directors, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Affiliate or any of their officers or directors may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untru e statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended as of the Registration Effective Date, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434 promulgated under the Securities Act, or the prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the “Prospectus”), or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement as of the Registration Effective Date a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement th ereto, not misleading, in each case in the light of the circumstances under which the statements contained therein were made, or (iii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, and will reimburse the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Affiliate, and their officers or directors for any legal and other expenses which are reasonably incurred by the Purchaser, such Purchaser’s Affiliate or their officer or director in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (1 ) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a Purchaser expressly for use therein, (2) the failure of a Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, (3) the inaccuracy of any representations made by a Purchaser herein or (4) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected or disclosed in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

(b)   The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or e xpenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by the Purchaser herein, or (iii) any (1) untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (2) omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, not misleading, in each case in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that the P urchaser’s indemnification obligation under this clause (iii) shall apply only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.

(c)   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof; provided, the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution (except as provided in paragraph (d)) or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek i ndemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d)   If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (subject to the limitation of paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3), then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of the Shares contemplated by this Agreeme nt or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registra tion Statement and the amount received by the Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or inaccuracy. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragrap h (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.4   Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares then still owned by the Purchaser, the Company will furnish to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after available, one copy of its annual report to stockholders (which annual report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a firm of certified public accountants) and, upon written request, each of the SEC Documents.

SECTION 8.   Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, confirmed facsimile or nationally recognized overnight express courier postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so received and shall be delivered as addressed as follows:
