any
portion of Purchaser Shares except pursuant to Regulations D or S under the

REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION

If at
any time during the six-month period following the Closing Date there is not

Shareholder may determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement relating to an offering for her own account under the Securities

to be issued in connection with this Agreement. Further any acquisition of

impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
included in the registration statement because, in such underwriter(s)'
judgment, such limitation is necessary to effect an orderly public distribution
of securities covered thereby, then Company shall be obligated to include in
such registration statement only such limited portion of Shareholder
Shares
for which Shareholder has requested inclusion hereunder as such underwriter(s)
shall permit. Other than this piggy-back registration obligation, nothing in
this Agreement shall entitle any party hereto to any claim, cause of action,
remedy or right of any kind with respect to the registration rights.
