Such Lender is acquiring its beneficial rights in the Warrants solely for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act 6.2 The Agent and such Lender understands that the Warrant and the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of their issuance and sale in transactions exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Agent and such Lender acknowledges that reliance on said exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy of its representations and warranties herein. The Agent and such Lender acknowledges and agree that the Warrant and the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant, must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered or qualified under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or is exempt from registration; and that, except as required herein, the Company is not required so to register or qualify any such securities or to take any action to make such an exemption available except to the extent provided herein. 6.3 The Agent and such Lender further understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rules 144 and 144A (the provisions of which are known to it) issued under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions and that, if applicable, Rules 144 and 144A afford the basis for sales under certain circumstances only in limited amounts. 7 6.4 The Agent and each of the Lenders severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that it will not Transfer the Warrants or the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Warrants, as the case may be, and in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of the Agent, and presentation of the original Warrants held by the Agent, the Company shall re-issue the Warrants in the name of the Lenders in such amounts as the Agent shall direct, whereupon all of the rights of the Lenders hereunder and under the Warrants shall severally succeed to the rights of the Agent. 6.5 The Agent and each of the Lenders severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that (i) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as is necessary to enable it to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and is not utilizing any other person to be its purchaser representative in connection with evaluating such merits and risks; (ii) it has no present need for liquidity in its investment in the Company and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof, and (iii) it was not formed for the specific purpose of making an investment in the Company. 6.6 The Agent and each of the Lenders severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that it is qualified as an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 502 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. 6.7 Such Lender acknowledges that it has been provided with and has been furnished with all information it has requested from the Company and has had an opportunity to review all of the books and records of the Company and to discuss with management of the Company all of the business and financial affairs of the Company. 6.8 Such Lender represents and acknowledges that it has received a copy of the documents and items on the data room diskette delivered to such Lender, and it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and to receive answers from the Company concerning, and to review all books and records of the Company and to obtain additional information regarding, the Company and such documents and items to such Lender's, that such Lender has in fact asked all such questions, received such answers and obtained such information to such Lender's satisfaction. 7.

The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the number of shares of Common Stock required for issuance upon the exercise of each of the Warrants (including any additional shares of Common Stock which may become so issuable by reason of the operation of anti-dilution provisions of the Warrants). 9.

In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 10.1: (i) After the Company has effected one (1) registration at the request the Agent pursuant to this Section 10.1 and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective. A Request for Registration shall not count for these purposes (A) unless such registration statement has been declared effective and an offering closed in which eighty (80%) percent of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration have been sold, or (B) if the registration has been withdrawn by the Agent pursuant to Clause 10.1(b), (ii) During the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on the date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a registration subject to Section 10.3 hereof, provided that the Company is actively using its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and (iii) In the event the Commission shall have declared any other registration statement with respect to an offering of securities of the Company to be effective within three (3) months prior to the Company's receiving a Request for Registration, the Company may delay the effective date of the registration statement filed in response to the Request for Registration until three (3) months after the effective date of the previous registration statement. 10.2 Registration Requested by Holders. Whenever the Company shall be requested, pursuant to Clause 10.1(a) hereof, to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a "Request for Registration"), the Company shall promptly (but in any event within twenty (20) days) give notice of such proposed registration to the Agent and thereupon shall, as expeditiously as possible (but in no event later than sixty (60) days from receipt of the Request for Registration), use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act and under all applicable state securities laws of: (a) all Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to the Request for Registration; and (b) all other Registrable Securities which the Agent has, within thirty (30) days after the Company has given such notice, requested the Company to register; all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the Agent so to be registered.

The Company shall have the right to include in any registration of Registrable Securities required pursuant to this Section 10.2 additional shares of its Common Stock to be issued by the Company ("Company Securities") or shares of Common Stock ("Third Party Registrable Securities") that have the benefit of duly exercised registration rights contractually binding on the Company, provided that if any Registrable Securities to be so registered for sale are to be distributed by or through underwriters, then all Registrable Securities to be so registered for sale and Company Securities and Third Party Registrable Securities, if any, shall be included in such underwriting on the same terms and provided, however, that if, in the written opinion of the managing underwriter(s), the total amount of such securities to be registered will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities which can be marketed without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company shall exclude from such underwriting (x) first, the maximum number of Company Securities and Third Party Registrable Securities as is necessary in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s) to reduce the size of the offering and (y) then, the minimum number of Registrable Securities, pro rata to the extent practicable, on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered, as is necessary to reduce the size of the offering. A registration that covers both Registrable Securities, Company Securities and Third Party Registrable Securities shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to a Request for Registration pursuant to Section 10.1(a) hereof if the Registrable Securities of the type covered by such Section constitute at least fifty (50%) percent of the total offering on the effective date of the registration statement and satisfies the conditions set forth in Clause Section 10.1(b)(i) but shall not be deemed to be one of the registrations referred to in Clause 10.1(a) hereof if Registrable Securities of the type covered by such Section constitute less than fifty (50%) percent of the total offering on the effective date of the registration statement or does not satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 10.1(b)(i). 10.3 "Piggyback" Registrations.

Upon the request of the Agent given within fifteen (15) days after the Holder has received such notice, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by the Agent to be registered under the Securities Act, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the Agent of the Registrable Securities so registered. 11 (b) If securities are to be registered for sale under a registration not initiated by a Request for Registration and are to be distributed by or through a firm of underwriters, then any Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 10.3 shall also be included in such underwriting on the same terms as other securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities included in such underwriting, provided that if, in the written opinion of the managing underwriter(s), the total amount of such securities to be so registered, when added to the Registrable Securities and the securities held by holders of securities other than the Registrable Securities, if any, will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities which can be marketed without materially and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the Company shall exclude from such underwriting (x) first, the maximum number of securities, if any, other than Registrable Securities or Third Party Registrable Securities, being sold for the account of persons other than the Company or persons intending to register securities obtained in connection with the TDH Loan Documents, as is necessary to reduce the size of the offering and (y) second, the minimum number of Registrable Securities and Third Party Registrable Securities, if any, as is necessary in the opinion of the managing underwriter(s) to reduce the size of the offering (any such reduction in Registrable Securities or Third Party Registrable Securities to be made pro rata to the extent practicable on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Third Part Registrable Securities requested to be registered), provided that in no event may less than one-third (1/3) of the total number of securities included in the registration be made available for Registrable Securities.

(a) In the event of any registration under the Securities Act of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 10, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each of the Lenders, and each other Holder, if any, disposing of such Registrable Securities and each other Person, if any, which controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Person and each other Person (including underwriters) who participates in the offering of such Registrable Securities, against any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Person or controlling Person or participating Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent that such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Person and each such controlling Person or participating person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person or such controlling Person or participating Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or proceeding, provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Person or such controlling or participating Person, as the case may be, specifically for use in the preparation thereof. (b) Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding clause of this Section 10.8 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company to the Agent, each of the Lenders and each other Holder, if any, with respect to any registration or other qualification of securities under any state securities and "blue sky" laws. 16 (c) If the indemnification provided for in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.8 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault 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 the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statements or omissions. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this clause were to be 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 first sentence of this clause. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this clause shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or proceeding which is the subject of this clause. In no case shall any Holder of Registrable Securities be required to contribute any amount if it has no relative fault for the action giving rise to such losses, claims or liabilities. 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. (d) Each indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing within ten (10) days after its receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 10.8, provided that the failure of an indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 10.8, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. (e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, the Company, the selling stockholders and the underwriter(s) enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering indemnification and contribution among the parties, the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Section 10.8 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering. 11.
