referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
with respect to all beneficial holders of the
Registrable Shares other than affiliates of the
Company and (ii) such time as all of the Registrable
Shares have been sold or are otherwise freely
tradable without registration under the Securities
Act.
(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection with such registration statement as may be

Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
the Registrable Shares.
(c) The Company shall furnish to the Investor such
numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
Page 8
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents as it may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares.
(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other
securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as shall be reasonably requested by the
Investor; PROVIDED THAT the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business, to subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such
states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, the
Company shall enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. If the underwriter in such offering
requests the delivery of a "comfort letter" from the
Company's independent auditors or the delivery of an

(f) The Company shall notify the Investor when a

4.03 INDEMNIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRABLE SHARES.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for
the Investor and each other person, if any, who
controls the Investor or such underwriter, within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act or
other federal or state law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a "VIOLATION"): (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the registration statement under
which the Registrable Shares were registered under
the Securities Act, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or
any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or
the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the
Company will pay to the Investor and each such
underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Subsection 4.03(a) shall not apply
to (x) amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement
is effected without the consent of the Company (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), or (y) any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action in respect of the Investor or an
underwriter or controlling person to the extent that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in
connection with such registration by the Investor or
such underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who shall sign the
registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter,
any other person selling securities in such
registration statement and any controlling person of
any such underwriter or other person, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may
Page 10
become subject, under the Securities Act, or the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished by the Investor for use in preparation of
the registration statement, as approved by the
Investor; and the Investor will pay, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any
person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
Subsection 4.03(b), in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Subsection 4.03(b) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the
Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, that, in no event
shall any indemnity under this Subsection 4.03(b)
exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by
such Investor.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 4.03 of notice of the commencement of
any action (including any governmental action), such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 4.03, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice of the commencement thereof. The
indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which
may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate (in the
written opinion of counsel for the indemnified party
which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Company) due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial
to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve
such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 4.03, but the
omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 4.03.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
4.03 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
Page 11
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and
of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in
such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of
the indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by
the indemnified party and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution
contained in the underwriting agreement entered into
in connection with the underwritten public offering
are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the
provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control.
4.04 REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making
available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Commission Rule
144, at all times;
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to the Investor, so long as the Investor owns
any Registrable Shares, forthwith upon request (i) a
written statement by the Company that it has complied
with the reporting requirements of Commission Rule
144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that
it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to Form S-3, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and
such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested in availing the Investor of any
