ARTICLE III REGISTRATION RIGHT 3.1 Demand Registration Right. (a) If at any time beginning nine (9) months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) Stockholder requests in writing (the "Stockholder Demand") that the Company file a registration statement (a "Registration Statement") for a public offering of the Shares, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.2, file such Registration Statement with the SEC within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of such request. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon thereafter as practicable and keep such registration statement effective until the Stockholder notifies the Company in writing that the Company is no longer required to keep such Registration Statement effective. In no event, however, shall the Company be required to cause more than one (1) Registration Statement pursuant to this section to be declared effective by the SEC. (b) The Company shall make reasonably available for inspection by the Stockholder, the underwriter (if any) and their representatives retained in connection with the registration all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by Stockholder, the underwriter or any of their representatives in connection with the registration.

The Company shall (A) make such representations and warranties with respect to the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and documents incorporated by reference, if any, to Stockholder and the underwriter, if any, of the Shares in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by the Company in connection with offerings of shares of Company Common Stock in transactions of such kind; (B) obtain an opinion of counsel in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such an opinion, addressed to such underwriter, if any, and to Stockholder; (C) obtain a "comfort" letter or letters from the independent certified public accountants who have certified the Company's most recent audited financial statements that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement which is addressed to Stockholder and the underwriter, if any, such letter or letters to be in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by "comfort" letters of such type; and (D) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by Stockholder and the underwriter, if any, of the Shares to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 3.2 Conditions and Limitations on Registration Rights. The registration rights granted by this Agreement are subject to the following additional conditions and limitations: (a) Delays and Suspension. The Company may delay the filing of, or suspend or delay the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time (but not exceeding 90 days), if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such registration or offering would interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or any of its Affiliates or would require premature disclosure thereof and promptly give the Stockholder, as applicable, written notice of such delay, provided, however, that the Company may postpone a filing in such manner only once in each twelve (12) month period. In such event, the Company's obligation under this Agreement to file a Registration Statement, seek effectiveness of a Registration Statement or keep such Registration Statement effective shall be deferred. If the Company (i) postpones the filing of a Registration Statement requested to be filed pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof or (ii) delays seeking effectiveness thereof, the Stockholder shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement and, in the event of such withdrawal, such request shall not be counted for purposes of the requests for registration to which the Stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. If the Company suspends the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Company will promptly deliver notice to the Stockholder of such suspension and will again deliver notice to the Stockholder when such suspension is no longer necessary and the duration for which the Company is required to keep a Registration Statement effective shall be extended by an additional number of days equal to the length of any suspension period. (b) Amended or Supplemented Prospectus. The Stockholder agrees that, as a condition to the receipt of the registration rights contained herein, upon receipt of any notice from the Company described in Section 3.2 hereof that suspends an effective Registration Statement, the Stockholder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Shares until the Stockholder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference into the prospectus. If so directed by the Company, the Stockholder will deliver to the Company all copies of the prospectus covering such Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension. 3.3 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, the Stockholder and its directors, officers, partners, agents and Affiliates and each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Shares and each other person, if any, who controls Stockholder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, insofar as losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which Shares held by Stockholder were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading, and the Company will reimburse the Stockholder and each such director, officer, partner, agent or Affiliate, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the Stockholder and its directors, officers, partners, agents and Affiliates or any underwriter to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument executed by or on behalf of such person, as the case may be, specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Shares or any other person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, to the person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Shares to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus so long as such final prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, have been furnished to such underwriter. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Stockholder or any such underwriter, director, officer, partner, agent or Affiliate or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Stockholder. 3.4 Indemnification by Stockholder. The Stockholder will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 3.3) the Company, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by the Stockholder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the liability of Stockholder under this Section 3.4 shall be limited to the amount of proceeds received by Stockholder in the offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by Stockholder. 3.5 Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 3.3 or 3.4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 3.3 or 3.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties is reasonably likely to exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof. 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 of an indemnifiable action other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defense thereof by the indemnifying party and the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party of such indemnified party's judgment as to the existing conflict of interest and the basis therefor. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. 3.6 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 3.3 and 3.4 shall be judicially determined (by the entry of final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) to be unavailable to a party seeking indemnification under Section 3.3 or 3.4 hereof in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, then, in lieu of the amount paid or payable under Section 3.3 or 3.4 hereof, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party under Section 3.3 or 3.4 hereof shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating the same), (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Stockholder, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Stockholder from the offering of the securities covered by such registration statement. 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. In addition, no person shall be obligated to contribute hereunder any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or claim effected without such person's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 3.7 Other Indemnification. Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in Section 3.3 or 3.4 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company, on the one hand, and Stockholder, on the other hand, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act. 3.8 Information from Stockholder. In the event that either the Stockholder fails to furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares held by it, or the intended method of disposition of such securities as may be required to effect the registration of the Shares, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Shares. 3.9 Expenses of Registration.
