The Company has no subsidiaries or equity interest in any other entity.

4.2 Corporate Power; Authorization. The Company has all requisite corporate power, and has taken all requisite corporate action, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below and collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), sell and issue the Securities and carry out and perform all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally, including any specific performance and (iii) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by state or federal laws or public policy underlying such laws. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents do not, and the performance of the Transaction Documents and the compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and the Underlying Shares by the Company will not conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to the terms of, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), or any statute, law or rule (including federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Principal Market”)) applicable to the Company or regulation or any state or federal order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or any indenture, mortgage, lease or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or any of its properties is subject.

The Underlying Shares have been duly authorized and, upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with their terms, including payment of the exercise price therefore, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance and delivery of the Securities is not subject to preemptive, co-sale, right of first refusal or any other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by each Purchaser in Section 5, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

warrant, call, subscription or other right, agreement, arrangement or commitment. The issuance of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or the Warrant will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal on behalf of any Person or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution or other similar rights, except as provided herein. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents and as provided herein, there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of their securities under the Securities Act.

4.8 No Default or Consents.

The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in paragraph (f) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act.

The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (herein called “ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company would have any liability; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan”; or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “Pension Plan” for which the Company would have liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

The Company has not received any notices or correspondence from the FDA or any other governmental agency requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any clinical trials currently conducted by, or on behalf of, the Company or in which the Company has participated that are described in the Clinical Documents, if any, or the results of which are referred to in the Clinical Documents. Nothing has come to the attention of the Company that has caused the Company to believe that the clinical trials previously conducted by or on behalf of the Company while conducted by or on behalf of the Company, were not conducted in accordance with experimental protocols, procedures and controls pursuant to accepted professional scientific standards; the descriptions of the results of such studies, tests and trials contained in the Clinical Documents, if any, are not inconsistent with such results.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASERS.

5.1 Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company that:

(a) Purchaser, taking into account the personnel and resources it can practically bring to bear on the purchase of the Securities contemplated hereby, is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Securities, including investments in securities issued by the Company, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information Purchaser deems relevant (including the SEC Documents) in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities.

(b) Purchaser is acquiring the Securities pursuant to this Agreement in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Securities or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Securities, except in compliance with Section 5.1(c).

(c) Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the securities purchased hereunder except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the Securities, relied with respect to the Company and its affairs solely upon the SEC Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein.

(e) Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or a Qualified Institutional Buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.

(f) Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by Purchaser, this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement shall each constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally, including any specific performance and (iii) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited by state or federal laws or public policy underlying such laws.

(g) Except as disclosed in the Purchaser Questionnaire, Purchaser is not a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “registered broker-dealer”) and is not affiliated with a registered broker dealer. Purchaser is not party to any agreement for distribution of any of the Securities.

(h) Purchaser shall have completed or caused to be completed and delivered to the Company at no later than the Closing Date, the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the answers to the Purchaser Questionnaire and the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that the Purchasers shall be entitled to update such information by providing notice thereof to the Company before the effective date of such Registration Statement.

5.2 Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that Purchaser has not, either directly or indirectly through an affiliate, agent or representative of the Company, engaged in any transaction in the Securities of the Company subsequent to March 28, 2008, except as set forth in filings made with the Commission pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Purchaser represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company that Purchaser has not engaged and will not engage in any short sales of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (either directly or indirectly through an affiliate, agent or representative).

5.3 Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

5.4 Legends.

(a) Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares and the Underlying Shares may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form and substance:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

It is understood that the Warrants may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form and substance:

In addition stock certificates representing the Securities or the Underlying Shares may contain:

(i) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California, including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations.

(ii) Any legend required by the blue sky laws of any other state to the extent such laws are applicable to the sale of such Securities or Underlying Shares hereunder.

(iii) A legend regarding affiliate status, if applicable.

(b) The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section, it will, no later than three business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, together with such representations and covenants of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s executing broker as the Company may reasonably require in connection therewith, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act. The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company. All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Securities shall be borne by the Company.

(c) The restrictive legend set forth in this section above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery with the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or in physical certificated shares, if appropriate, if (i) such Shares and Underlying Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that the Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such registration statement is effective and such Purchaser is not aware or has not been notified by the Company that such registration statement has been withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration statement); (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company); or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Subject to receipt of such representations, and covenants as are contemplated hereby, following the earlier of (i) the effective date of the Registration Statement or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of the Shares and Underlying Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to the Shares and Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall issue to the Company’s transfer agent the instructions with respect to legend removal consistent with this Section. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, the Company’s counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.

5.5 Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS TO COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS AT THE CLOSING.

The Company’s obligation to complete the sale and issuance of the Securities and deliver Securities to each Purchaser, individually, as set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers at the Closing shall be subject to the following conditions to the extent not waived by the Company:

7.9 Stop Orders. No stop order or suspension of trading shall have been imposed by the Principal Market, the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body with respect to public trading in the Common Stock.

SECTION 8. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

8.1 Commencing from and after the Closing until the unblinded data from the Company’s Phase 3 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Syndrome trial (the “Phase 3 Data”) is generally available to and known by the public, and subject to applicable securities laws, each Purchaser that holds Shares shall have a right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in Section 8.4) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue, other than Excluded Securities (as defined in Section 8.4). Each Purchaser’s “Pro Rata Share” is equal to the ratio of (A) the number of outstanding Shares of which such Purchaser is a beneficial owner immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to (B) the total number of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to the issuance of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

8.2 If the Company proposes to issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, it shall give each Purchaser known to the Company to continue to beneficially own Shares written notice of its intention, describing the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “Company Notice”). Each Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days from the giving of the Company Notice to agree to purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (except as provided above) for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Company Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of Shares beneficially owned by such Purchaser and the quantity of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents elected to be purchased, up to its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or sell such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to any Purchaser who would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws or stock exchange rules by virtue of such offer or sale.

8.3 The Company shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in respect of which the Purchasers’ rights were not exercised (including to other Purchasers), at a price not lower and upon general terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Notice. If

the Company has not sold such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents within such sixty (60) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, without first offering such securities to the Purchasers in the manner provided in this Section 8.

8.4 For purposes of this Article 8, the following terms have the following meanings:

(a) “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock or other securities that entitle the holder to receive, directly or indirectly, Common Stock.

(b) “Excluded Securities” means any issuance of (i) securities pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions, (ii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any duly-adopted equity incentive or equity compensation plan, to the extent the issuance of such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents has been approved by the Board or a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (iii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 25, 2008 between Kingsbridge Capital Limited and the Company, (iv) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement; provided that such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities, (v) Common Stock Equivalents issued to one or more lenders in connection with such lenders’ commitment to a term loan facility provided to the Company, or (iv) securities issued or issuable in a transaction or series of related transactions in which the Purchasers beneficially owning a majority of the Shares then outstanding have agreed in writing will be excluded from the preemptive rights set forth in this Section 8.

SECTION 9. BROKER’S FEES.

The Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) acknowledge and agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Partners Group, Inc. is acting as the Company’s placement agent for the sale of certain of the Securities being offered hereby and will be compensated solely by the Company in such capacity. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby represent that there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Securities, and shall indemnify each other for any such fees for which they are responsible.

SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and each Person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) the failure of such Indemnified Party to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6 above respecting sale of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares), or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Indemnified Party herein.

10.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the other Purchasers and the Company, each of its directors, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors or each of its controlling Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure by such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.3 above respecting the sale of the Securities (including the Underlying Shares) unless such failure by such Purchaser is directly caused by the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to such Purchaser or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Purchaser herein, in each case to the extent, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, and each of its controlling Persons for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, and each of its controlling Persons in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. No Purchaser shall be liable for the indemnification obligations of any other Purchaser.

SECTION 11. ACCESS TO INFORMATION.

From the date hereof until the Closing, the Company will make reasonably available to the Purchasers’ representatives, consultants and their respective counsels for inspection, such information and documents as the Purchasers reasonably request, and will make available at reasonable times and to a reasonable extent officers and employees of the Company to discuss the business and affairs of the Company.

SECTION 12. USE OF PURCHASERS’ NAMES.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall not use the Purchasers’ names or the name of any of their affiliates in any advertisement, announcement, press release or other similar public communication unless it has received the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser for the specific use contemplated which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 13. NOTICES.

All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by confirmed facsimile or electronic mail, or mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so sent in the case of facsimile or electronic mail transmission, or when so received in the case of mail or courier, and addressed as follows:

PART III – PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of

their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•

privately negotiated transactions;

•

short sales;

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

•

a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this

prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.

We have advised the selling stockholders that they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act during such time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or otherwise.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (a) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (b) the date on which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by non-affiliates without any volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

The undersigned has reviewed the Plan of Distribution set forth above and does not have a present intention of effecting a sale in a manner not described therein.

FOOTNOTES

Beneficial Ownership. You are the beneficial owner of a security, as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), if you, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise have or share: (1) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security, and/or (2) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such security. You are also the beneficial owner of a security if you, directly or indirectly, create or use a trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement or any other contract, arrangement, or device with the purpose or effect of divesting yourself of beneficial ownership of a security or preventing the vesting of such beneficial ownership.

You are deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if you have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security (a) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) through the conversion of a security, or (c) pursuant to the automatic termination of, or the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account, or similar arrangement.

Ordinarily, shares held in the name of your spouse or minor child should be considered as beneficially owned by you absent special circumstances to indicate that you do not have, as a practical matter, voting power or investment power over such shares. Similarly, absent countervailing facts, securities held in the name of relatives who share your home are to be reported as being beneficially owned by you. In addition, securities held for your benefit in the name of others, such as nominees, trustees and other fiduciaries, securities held by a partnership of which you are a partner, and securities held by a corporation controlled by you should be regarded as beneficially owned by you.

This definition of beneficial ownership is very broad; therefore, even through you may not actually have or share voting or investment power with respect to securities owned by persons in your family or living in your home, you should include such shares in your beneficial ownership disclosure and may then disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.

Associate. The term “associate”, as defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, means (a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any of its majority owned subsidiaries) of which you are an officer or partner or are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate in which you have a substantial beneficial interest or as to which you serve as trustee or in a similar capacity, and (c) your spouse, or any relative of yours or relative of your spouse living in your home or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any subsidiary. The term “relative of yours” as used in this Questionnaire refers to any relative or spouse of yours, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as you or who is a director or officer of any subsidiary of the Company.

Please identify your associate referred to in your answer and indicate your relationship.

3.	Immediate Family. The members of your “immediate family” are deemed to include the following: your spouse; your parents; your children; your siblings; your mother-in-law or father-in-law; your sons and daughters-in-law; and your brothers and sisters-in-law.

Transactions. The term “transaction” is to be understood in its broadest sense, and includes the direct or indirect receipt of anything of value. Please note that indirect as well as direct material interests in transactions are to be disclosed. Transactions in which you would have a direct interest would include your purchasing or leasing anything (stock in a business acquired by the Company, office space, plants, Company apartments, computers, raw materials, finished goods, etc.) from or selling or leasing anything to, or borrowing or lending cash or other property from or to, the Company, or any subsidiary.

Exhibit 1

Interpretation A.65 from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Corporation Finance, Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations dated July 1997:

“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
