(a) SHELF REGISTRATION.
(i) During the period from the Closing Date until such date that all
Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon exercise by the
Holder may be sold under Rule 144(k) or any successor rule (the
"REGISTRATION PERIOD"), the Holder may request a single registration (or
more than one registration, to the extent expressly provided below) of all
its Registrable Securities ("SHELF REQUEST").
Upon receipt of a Shelf Request, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
as soon as commercially reasonable, but in any event within sixty (60) calendar
days of the Shelf Request) a registration statement on Form SB-2 (or, if Form
SB-2 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration
statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the
Registrable Securities) covering the resale of the number of Registrable
Securities requested by the Holder to be registered. The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and keep such registration statement effective until the distribution
contemplated in the registration statement has been completed.
- 2 -
(ii) If, for any reason, the effectiveness of the aforesaid
registration statement is terminated prior to achievement of a Complete
Sale, the Holder shall again be granted the right to make a Shelf Request,
and the Company shall again act as provided in sub-section (i) above, until
achievement of a Complete Sale.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company
furnishes to the Holder a certificate signed by the Company's chief
executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company's
Board of Directors (the "BOARD") it would be materially detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either
become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration
statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such
action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition,
corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the
Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or
(iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the
Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to
defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more
than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the
Holder pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) above, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
right to defer a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than
once in any twelve (12) month period; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the
Company shall not register other shares during such deferral period.
Additionally, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any
action to effect, any registration pursuant to a Shelf Request during the period
that is sixty (60) days before the Company's good faith estimate of the date of
filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the
effective date of, a separate Company-initiated registration, PROVIDED, that the
Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that the Company shall not register other shares during such period.
(iv) Nothing in this Section 2(a) shall prevent the Company from
including Company securities currently held by other shareholders of the
Company, in a registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to a Shelf
Request; subject to the cut-back provisions in sub-section (v) below.
- 3 -
(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(a), if the
SEC requires the Company to limit the number of its securities being
registered under such registration statement, then the number will be
reduced as is necessary to satisfy such limitation, and if the Company is
registering securities held by other shareholders of the Company in the
same registration statement, then there shall be excluded from such
registration Registrable Securities held by the Holder and registrable
securities that are held by such other shareholders of the Company, pro
rata among them, to the extent necessary to satisfy such limitation. In
such an event, the Holder shall be entitled to a further Shelf Request, to
which no minimum anticipated aggregate offering amount shall apply, in
accordance with the provisions of this section 2(a).
(b) PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
(i) During the Registration Period, if the Company proposes to file a
registration statement covering any of its securities (other than a
registration statement on Form S-8 or any equivalent or successor form),
for its own account or for the account of any other person, it shall give
notice to the Holder of such intention. Upon the written request of the
Holder, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice, the
Company shall include in such registration all of the Registrable
Securities (as defined below) indicated in such request, so as to permit
the disposition of the shares so registered in the manner requested by the
Holder.
If the sale of the securities to be included in such registration statement is
underwritten, and the underwriters insist upon limiting the number of securities
being registered, then there shall be excluded from such registration
Registrable Securities held by the Holder and registrable securities that are
held by other shareholders of the Company who are entitled to have their shares
included in such registration (but not Common Stock to be issued by the Company
to the public), pro rata among them, to the extent necessary to satisfy such
limitation.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if the
SEC requires the Company to limit the number of its securities being
registered under such registration statement, then there shall be excluded
from such registration Registrable Securities held by the Holder and
registrable securities that are held by other shareholders of the Company
who are entitled to have their shares included in such registration, pro
rata among them, to the extent necessary to satisfy such limitation.
The Holder shall agree not to sell any Registrable Securities included in any
public offering for such period as may be required by the SEC.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2(b)(ii), the Company shall have
the right at any time after it shall have given notice to the Holder, to elect
not to file any such proposed registration statement.
(iii) For the purposes of clarity, if the Holder elects to piggyback a
registration for the account of the Company or for the account of any other
person, and if such registration is not underwritten, the Holder shall not
have the right to demand that such registration be part of an underwritten
offering.
- 4 -
(c) EXPENSES. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each
registration, including underwriting fees (in case of an underwritten
registration), filing and printing fees, the Company's counsel and
accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the
Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and
listing fees; but excluding discounts, commissions and fees for selling
brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with
respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.
(d) THE HOLDER INFORMATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company's obligations hereunder shall be suspended with
respect to the Registrable Securities in the event that the Holder fails to
provide promptly to the Company such information as the Company may
reasonably request at any time, provided that the Company shall request
such information only to the extent required to enable the Company to
comply with any applicable law or regulation or to facilitate preparation
of a Registration Statement.
(e) SUSPENSION
(i) Subject to Section 2(e)(ii) below, in the event of: (1) any
request by the SEC or any other U.S. federal or state governmental
authority during the Effectiveness Period for amendments or supplements to
a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional
information, (2) the issuance by the SEC or any other U.S. federal or state
governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (3) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any
of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, or (4) any event or
circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the
Holder ("SUSPENSION NOTICE") to the effect of the foregoing (which notice
will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and
will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended period of
suspension, if known), and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the
Holder will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities covered by
the Registration Statement or Prospectus ("SUSPENSION") until the Holder's
receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and
filed by the Company, or until the Holder is advised in writing by the
Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies
of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any
Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as
possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holder, and the
Company will make all necessary amendments that may be required for that
purpose.
- 5 -
The Suspension and Suspension Notice described in this Section 2(e)(ii) shall be
held by the Holder in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed by the
Holder, except as required by applicable law or by the rules of any securities
authority or stock exchange.
(ii) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Holder may
sell Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement, provided that
the Holder arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee
of such Registrable Securities to the extent such delivery is required by
applicable law. In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities by the
Holder, the Holder must also deliver to the Company's transfer agent, with
a copy to the Company, a certificate of subsequent sale reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, so that ownership of the Registrable
Securities may be properly transferred. The Company will cooperate to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (unless
otherwise required by applicable law) representing Registrable Securities
sold.
3. COMPANY OBLIGATIONS.
The Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto
the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be

Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter
written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC,
and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in
each case relating to such Registration Statement if and to the extent the
Company deems such information to be applicable to the Holder (other than
any portion thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a
Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and
supplements thereto and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by the Holder that are covered by the related Registration
Statement;
- 6 -
(c) furnish the Holder, at its request, on the date that the

period of effectiveness, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any

therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC
and furnish to the Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to
or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such
Prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing; and
- 7 -
(g) With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule
144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC
that may at any time permit the Holder to sell shares of Common Stock to
the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public

avail the Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the
selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

Holder, or to advisors to or representatives of the Holder, unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being
material nonpublic information and provides the Holder, such advisors and

information, enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the
Company with respect thereto.
5. OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDER.

information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as

registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least ten (10)

of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering
such Registrable Securities, until the Holder is advised by the Company
that such dispositions may again be made.
(d) The Holder represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor
any affiliate thereof is or has engaged, or will engage, in (i) any "short
sales" (as such term is defined in Rule 200 promulgated under the Exchange

maintaining of any short position with respect to, establishing or
maintaining a "put equivalent position" (within the meaning of Rule

of the Registrable Securities or (ii) any hedging transaction which
establishes a net short position with respect to the Registrable
Securities.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company will indemnify and
hold harmless the Holder and its officers, directors, employees and agents,
successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls the
Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject
under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or
final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky
application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that

Application"); (iii) 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; (iv) any violation or alleged violation
by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under

that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on the
Holder's behalf; and the Company will reimburse the Holder, and each such
officer, director or member and each such controlling person for 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 Company will not be liable in any such
case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by the Holder or any such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus;
or (ii) the use of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company
has notified the Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or
defective pursuant to Section 2(e) or Section 3(h) above.
- 9 -
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6(a) will remain in
full force and effect and survive the sale by the Holder of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement.
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDER. the Holder agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents,
successors and assigns, and each person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission is contained in information furnished in
writing by the Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such
Registration Statement or preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of the Holder be
greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all
expense paid by the Holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 6 and the amount of any damages the Holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by
the Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6(b) will remain in
full force and effect and survive the sale by the Holder of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement.
- 10 -
(c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii)
permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; PROVIDED that any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ
separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person
unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses,
or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of
such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c)
in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of
its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the
indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the
person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
claim on behalf of such person); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the failure of
any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent
that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is
understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that 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.
(d) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided for
in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified
party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly
specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable
Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of
all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such contribution obligation.
