issuance of Preferred Stock. The Company shall promptly take such steps as
may be necessary or appropriate under the laws of Delaware and the federal
securities laws to permit the issuance of the Preferred Stock. If the
authorization and issuance of such Preferred Stock requires an amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and the adoption by the
stockholders of such amendment, the Company shall immediately initiate the
necessary and required documents and corporate meetings. The Preferred
Stock shall be non-voting stock.

registration and qualify the Common Stock in such jurisdictions as may be
requested by Xxxxxx. Any such registration of shares requested by Xxxxxx

registration rights set forth above) add any or all of such shares of the
Company as it may own to any such registration. The Company shall bear all

reciprocal indemnification provisions which customarily appear in
underwriting agreements used by reputable investment bankers.
