wishes to include in any Demand Registration pursuant to the registration
notice.

aforesaid (subject to the provisions of SECTION 8.1), for sale in
accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting
Holders, is not declared effective by the Commission and kept effective
by the Company in accordance with the planned distribution thereunder,
subject to SECTION 5.2, (unless, except as provided in SECTION 15(B),
such Demand Registration has not become effective due solely to the
fault of the Holder or Holders requesting such Demand Registration and
such Holder or Holders fail to bear all Registration Expenses in
connection therewith, in which case such registration shall count as a
Demand Registration), and the last or any subsequent Investor Long Form
Demand, Shareholder Long Form Demand and Shareholder Short Form Demand
Registration will not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations
unless the Holders of Registrable Stock are able to register and sell at
least 90% of the shares of the Registrable Stock requested to be
included in such registration; and
(b) the Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand
Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a Demand
Registration or a registration in which the Holders of Registrable Stock
were given piggyback rights pursuant to SECTION 3, provided in either
case all shares of Registrable Stock requested to be included were sold
in such registration. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the
filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand
Registration if the Company, the Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Stock and, if such Demand Registration is requested by
Holders of Investor Registrable Stock, the Holders of at least a
majority of the Investor Registrable Stock, agree that such registration
would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect (i) on any
proposal or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in
any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar
transaction, or (ii) any material corporate development; provided that
in such event, the Holders of Investor Registrable Stock or Shareholder
Registrable Stock initially requesting such Demand Registration will be
entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn,
such registration will not count as one of the permitted Demand
Registrations and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as
defined in SECTION 6 hereof) in connection with such registration.

(c) SECTION 3 of this Agreement shall not apply to a
registration effected solely to offer securities for sale pursuant to,
or in connection with, (i) an employee benefit plan or (ii) a
transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or in an
exchange offer registered on Form S-4 or any successor form to Form S-4,
or to any registration on a form which does not permit inclusion of
Registrable Stock pursuant to Commission rule or practice.

or regulations thereunder to be delivered by such seller, if such
delivery would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss,
claim, damage or liability; or
-11-
14
(iii) caused by the delivery by such seller of a
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto after receipt of notice from the Company that
it should no longer be used.
In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify
such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such underwriters to
the same extent as provided above with respect to the sellers of
Registrable Stock. The Company shall reimburse each Person indemnified
pursuant to this SECTION 7.1 for any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action indemnified against. The reimbursements
required by this SECTION 7.1 shall be made by periodic payments during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or expenses incurred. The indemnities provided pursuant to
this SECTION 7.1 shall remain in force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall
survive any transfer of Registrable Stock by a seller.
7.2 In the event of any registration of any Registrable Stock under
the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to furnish to
the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement,
prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in connection with the
registration.
7.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the
limitation set forth in the last sentence of this SECTION 7.3, each Holder
which is a seller of Registrable Stock in a registration pursuant to this
Agreement agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors and officers, and each Affiliate of the Company,
against:
(a) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, arising out of or based upon:
(i) any alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained on the effective date thereof, in any registration
statement under which such Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any summary prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
(ii) any alleged omission to state in any such document
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading,
but only insofar as any such loss, claim, damage or liability is caused
by any information furnished in writing to the Company by the
indemnifying seller expressly for use in connection with such
registration, and excluding any such loss, claim, damage or liability
which is caused by such statements, or caused by
-12-
15
such omissions, based upon the authority of an expert as defined in the
Securities Act (but only if the indemnifying seller had no grounds to
believe, and did not believe, that the statements made on the authority
of an expert were untrue or that there was an omission to state a
material fact); and
(b) any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, arising out of or based upon any failure by such seller to
deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto if required by the Securities Act or the
rules or regulations thereunder to be delivered by such seller, if such
delivery would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim,
damage or liability. In connection with an underwritten offering, each
seller will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors
and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
such underwriters to the same extent as provided above with respect to
the Company and other sellers. Each seller shall reimburse each Person
indemnified pursuant to this SECTION 7.3 in connection with
investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
indemnified against. The reimbursements required by this SECTION 7.3
shall be made by periodic payments during the course of the
investigation or defense as and when bills are received or expenses
incurred. The indemnities provided pursuant to this SECTION 7.3 shall
remain in force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive any transfer of
Registrable Stock by an indemnifying seller and any transfer of other
Securities by any other indemnified seller. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement, however, the liability under this
SECTION 7 of each Holder which is a seller of Registrable Stock shall be
limited in the aggregate, with respect to the claims of all indemnified
Persons taken as a whole, to the amount of proceeds received by the
indemnifying seller from the sale of the Registrable Stock sold by the
indemnifying seller pursuant to such registration statement.
7.4 Each party entitled to indemnification under this SECTION 7 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified
Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought,
and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim
or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party
(whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such party's expense other than reasonable
costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected (unless the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party or that the interests of the Indemnified
Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
Indemnifying Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and
fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred), and
provided further that the
-13-
16
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this SECTION 7 unless
and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each 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 to such claim or
litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense
of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
7.5 If the indemnification provided for in this SECTION 7 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction (by the entry of a final judgment or decree
by such court and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, 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 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 which 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. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, however, the liability under this
SECTION 7.5 of each Holder which is a seller of Registrable Stock shall be
limited in the aggregate, with respect to the claims of all indemnified Persons
taken as a whole, to the amount of proceeds received by the indemnifying seller
from the sale of the Registrable Stock sold by the indemnifying seller pursuant
to such registration statement.
7.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering contemplated
by this Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions
in such underwriting agreement shall be controlling. Not in limitation of the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the indemnification obligations of
any holder pursuant to any underwriting agreement entered into in connection
herewith shall be limited to the obligations contained in this SECTION 7.
7.7 The foregoing indemnity agreement of the Company and Holders is
subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any loss, claim,
liability or damage made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied
in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
registration statement in question becomes
-14-
17
effective or the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Commission Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall
not inure to the benefit of any underwriter if a copy of the Final Prospectus
was furnished to the underwriter and was not sent or furnished to the person if
required by law so to have been delivered asserting the loss, liability, claim
or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities
Act, and if the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to
such loss, liability, claim or damage.
7.8 The indemnities and obligations provided in this SECTION 7 shall
survive the transfer of any Registrable Stock by such Holder.
SECTION 8. MARKETING RESTRICTIONS.

8.3 In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
Registrable Stock pursuant to SECTION 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall
not be required to include any of the Registrable Stock of a Holder in such

statement. The Company agrees to cause such Conversion Stock, Exercise Stock
and Investor Warrant Stock to be issued within such time as will permit the
underwriter to make and complete the distribution contemplated by the

SECTION 10. LOCKUP AGREEMENT. Each Holder severally and not jointly
agrees in connection with the registration of any of the Company's Securities
in its initial public offering that, upon the request of the Company or the
underwriters managing such underwritten offering of the Company's Securities,
he or it will not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Securities of the Company (other than
the securities included in the registration and other than a transfer by any
Holder to an Affiliate or member of the Immediate Family of such Holder)
without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the
case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 120 days) from the
effective date of such registration as the Company or the underwriters may
specify, subject to the Company obtaining similar agreements from the Company's
executive officers and directors, any holders of five percent or more of the
Company's then issued

the Company agrees to:

are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times from and after 90
days following the effective date of the first registration under the
Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its Securities to
the general public and for so long as the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
(b) use its best efforts to 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 at any time after it has
become subject to such reporting requirements; and

eligible to sell all such Securities under paragraph (k) of Rule 144,
furnish to the Holder upon request, a written statement by the Company
as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any
time from and after 90 days following the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its
securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of
the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as the Holder
may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the Commission allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without
registration.
SECTION 12. ASSIGNABILITY OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights set
forth in this Agreement shall accrue to each subsequent Holder of Registrable
Stock who (a) shall have executed a written consent agreeing to be bound by the

SECTION 14. HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS. The Company agrees (a) not to effect
any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
period commencing on the earlier of the notice requesting the Demand
Registration, if applicable or seven days prior to, and continuing during the
90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any underwritten Demand
Registration pursuant to SECTION 2 hereof or any underwritten Piggyback
Registration pursuant to SECTION 3 hereof (except as part of such underwritten
registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form),
unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise
agree, and (b) to cause each holder of its Common, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common, purchased from the
Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a
registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or
distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities
during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if
otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the registered public
offering otherwise agree.
SECTION 15. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.
(a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder
which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such
Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to
the terms of any overallotment or "green shoe" option requested by the
managing underwriter(s)), (ii) furnishes to the Company such information
regarding such Holder, the Registrable Stock of such Holder to be
registered and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable
Stock, and (iii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of

reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
(b) If any Holder or Holders of Registrable Stock that has
requested inclusion in a registration disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such Holder or Holders may elect to withdraw therefrom by
written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter; provided
that if such Holder or all Holders of Registrable Stock who requested
such Registration as one of their Demand Registrations withdraw, then
subject to SECTION 4(A) hereof, (i) if such withdrawal occurs prior to
the registration statement being filed with the Commission, the
withdrawing Holder or Holders shall not be responsible for the
Registration Expenses in connection with such registration, and (ii) if
such withdrawal occurs subsequent to the filing of the registration
statement with the Commission, then at the option of the Holders, either
such withdrawing Holders shall be responsible for the Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with such registration pro rata to their
Securities initially included therein, or such withdrawn registration
shall count as a Demand Registration (as determined by the Holders of at
least 66-2/3% of the shares of Registrable Stock included therein by the
Holders with such Demand Registration right); provided, however, that if
at the time of such withdrawal, the requesting Holders have learned of
-21-
24
a material adverse change in the conditions, business or prospects of
the Company from that known to them at the time of their request, then
the requesting Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses
or to count such registration as a Demand Registration.
(c) Each Person that is participating in any registration
hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in SECTION 5.1(E)
above, such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its
Registrable Stock pursuant to the registration statement until such
Person's receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus
as contemplated by such SECTION 5.1(E).
SECTION 16. MISCELLANEOUS.
16.1 Modifications; Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless

consent.
16.2 Severability. In the event that any court or any governmental

portion of any Section is so declared to be unlawful or invalid, such
unlawfulness or invalidity shall not serve to invalidate the balance of such
Section.

effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was
given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent except as
specifically set forth in such waiver or consent. The election of any remedy

notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without
such notice or demand.
16.10 Specific Performance. The Company recognizes that the rights of
the Holders of Registrable Stock under this Agreement are unique and,
accordingly, the Holders of Registrable Stock shall, in addition to such other
