Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at anytime or from time to
time on or after , 2006, but not later than 5:00 p.m., Spokane, Washington

stock transfer agent, if any, with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly
executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number
of shares of Securities as specified in such Form, together with all
federal and state taxes applicable upon such exercise. During the term of
this Warrant, the Company agrees that the Holder shall be entitled to
participate in any tender offer being made for the Securities and to so
notify the Holder within a reasonable time of such tender offer no later
than the third business day after the day the Company becomes aware that
any tender offer is being made for the Securities. If this Warrant should
be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this
Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the
right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Securities purchasable
hereunder not purchased. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at
the office of the Company or at the office of the Company's stock transfer
agent, in proper form for exercise and accompanied by the total Exercise
Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the

transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Securities shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder.

there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this
Warrant such number of shares of Securities as shall be required for
issuance or delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company covenants
and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise
Price therefor, all Securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly
and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the

(3.) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to
any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company
shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the current market value of such fractional share,
determined as follows:
(a) If the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange, the
current value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common
Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of
exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such
exchange; or,
(b) If the Securities are not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported
2
bid and asked prices reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (or, if not so quoted
on NASDAQ or quoted by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.) on the
last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant;
or (c) If the Securities are not so listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the
current value shall be an amount, not less than book value,
determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the
Board of Directors of the Company, such determination to be final
and binding on the Holder.
(4.) Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable,
without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and
surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the
Holder thereof to purchase (under the same terms and conditions as
provided by this Warrant) in the aggregate the same number of Securities
purchasable hereunder. This Warrant may not be sold, transferred,
assigned, or hypothecated until after one year from the effective date of
the Registration Statementhereof except that it may be (i) assigned in
whole or in part to the officers of the "Underwriter(s)", and (ii)
transferred to any successor to the business of the "Underwriter(s)." Any
such assignment shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company,
or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment
Form annexed hereto duly executed and with funds sufficient to pay any
transfer tax; whereupon the Company shall, without charge, execute and
deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named insuch instrument
of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant
may be divided or combined with other Warrants which carry the same rights
upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of
its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be
issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term "Warrant" as used herein
includes any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this
Warrant, or into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged. Until
this Warrant is duly transferred on the books of the Company, the Company
may treat the registered holder of this Warrant as absolute owner hereof
for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary.
Each successive holder of this Warrant, or any portion of the rights
represented thereby, shall be bound by the terms and conditions set forth
herein. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the
Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date. Any
such new Warrant executed and delivered shall constitute an additional
contractual obligation on the part of the Company, whether or not the
Warrant so lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone.
3
(5.) Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled
to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in the Warrant
and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth
herein.
(6.) Notices to Warrant Holders. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding
and unexercised (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution upon the Common Stock, or (ii) if the Company shall offer to
the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any
shares of stock of any class or any other rights, or (iii) if any capital
reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of
the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the
property and assets of the Company to another corporation which is
effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for Common Stock, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then, in any
such case, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least
ten (10) days prior to the date specified in (x) or (y) below, as the case
may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and
stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any, is to be
fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for equivalent securities or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(7.) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares of Common Stock
Deliverable.
(A)
(i) Except as hereinafter provided, in the event the Company
shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof,
issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to the
holders of Common Stock, or subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser
number of shares (any such issuance, subdivision or
combination being herein call a "Change of Shares"), then, and
thereafter upon each further Change of Shares, the Exercise
Price of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Warrant in effect immediately prior to such Change of Shares
shall be changed to a price (including any applicable fraction
of a cent to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (i) the
sum of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock
4
outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Shares,
multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such Change of Shares, and (b) the consideration, if any,
received by the Company upon such issuance, subdivision or
combination by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such Change of Shares; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted
pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
computation, except in the case of a combination of
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
For the purposes of any adjustment to be made in accordance with
this Section (7) the following provisions shall be applicable:
(I) Shares of Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or
other distribution on any capital stock of the Company
shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after
the opening of business on the day following the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution and shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(II) The number of shares of Common Stock at any one time
outstanding shall not be deemed to include the number of
shares issuable (subject to readjustment upon the actual
issuance thereof) upon the exercise of options, rights
or warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of
convertible or exchangeable securities.
(ii) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this
Section (7), the number of shares of Securities purchasable
upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be the number derived
by multiplying the number of shares of Securities purchasable
immediately prior to such adjustment by the Exercise Price in
effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the applicable adjusted Exercise Price.
(B) In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Securities
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation other than a merger with a "Subsidiary" (which
shall mean any corporation or corporations, as the case may be, of
which capital stock having ordinary power to elect a majority of the
Board of Directors of such corporation (regardless of whether or not
at the time capital stock of any other class or classes of such
corporation shall have or may have voting power by reason of the
happening of any contingency) is at the time directly or indirectly
5
owned by the Company or by one or more Subsidiaries) or by the
Company and one or more Subsidiaries in which merger the Company is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock or other capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of
subdivision or combination) or in case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety, then, as a condition of such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the
case may be, shall make lawful and adequate provision whereby the
Holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and
amount of securities and property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
by a holder of the number of securities issuable upon exercise of
such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and shall forthwith file
at the principal office of the Company a statement signed on its
behalf by its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or
an Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
evidencing such provision. Such provisions shall include provision
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section (7)(A). The
above provisions of this Section (7)(B) shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common Stock
and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(C) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Exercise Price or
the number of Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants,
the Warrant Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued shall
(unless the Company shall exercise its option to issue new Warrant
Certificates pursuant hereto) continue to express the Exercise Price
per share and the number of shares purchasable thereunder as the
Exercise Price per share and the number of shares purchasable
thereunder as expressed in the Warrant Certificates when the same
were originally issued.
(D) After each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
(7), the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed on its
behalf by the President or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or
an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
of the Company setting forth: (i) the Exercise Price as so adjusted,
(ii) the number of Securities purchasable upon exercise of each
Warrant, after such adjustment, and (iii) a brief statement of the
facts accounting for such adjustment. The Company will promptly file
such certificate in the Company's minute books and cause a brief
summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first class mail to each
Holder at his last address as it shall appear on the registry books
of the Company. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect
6
therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity thereof
except as to the holder to whom the Company failed to mail such
notice, or except as to the holder whose notice was defective. The
affidavit of an officer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
of the Company that such notice has been mailed shall, in the
absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated
therein.
(i) Intent of Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary,
if any event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Company, the other provisions of this Section 7 are
not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable, would not fairly
protect the rights of the Holders' Warrant in accordance with the
essential intent and principles of such provisions, then such Board
of Directors shall appoint a firm of independent certified public
accountants (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) which
shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis
consistent with such essential intent and principles, necessary to
preserve, without dilution, the rights of the Holders. Upon receipt
of such opinion by the Board of Directors of the Company, the
Company shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein
(E) No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made as a result of or
in connection with the issuance or sale of Securities if the amount
of said adjustment shall be less than $0.001, provided, however,
that in such case, any adjustment that would otherwise be required
then to be made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the
time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment that shall
amount, together with any adjustment so carried forward, to at least
$.001. In addition, Holders shall not be entitled to cash dividends
paid by the Company prior to the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants
held by them.
(F) In the event that the Company shall at any time prior to the
exercise of all Warrants declare a dividend consisting solely of
shares of Common Stock or otherwise distribute to its stockholders
any assets, property, rights, or evidences of indebtedness, the
Holders of the unexercised Warrants shall thereafter be entitled, in
addition to the Securities or other securities and property
receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise
of such Warrants, the same property, assets, rights, or evidences of
indebtedness, that they would have been entitled to receive at the
time of such dividend or distribution as if the Warrants had been
exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. At the
time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make
appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the
provisions of this Section (7).
7
(G)
(G.1) Right to Exercise on a Net Issuance Basis. In lieu of
exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder shall have the
right to exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof (the
"Net Issuance Right") into Common Stock as provided in this
Section G.1 at any time or from time to time during the period
specified on page one of this Warrant Agreement, hereof by the
surrender of this Warrant to the Company with a duly executed
and completed Exercise Form marked to reflect net issuance
exercise. Upon exercise of the Net Issuance Right with respect
to a particular number of shares of the Securities subject to
this Warrant and noted on the Exercise Form (the "Net Issuance
Warrant Shares"), the Company shall deliver to the Holder
(without payment by the Holder of any Exercise Price or any
cash or other consideration) (X) that number of shares of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing the value of this Warrant
(or the specified portion hereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise
Date, which value shall be determined by subtracting (A) the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Net Issuance Warrant Shares
immediately prior to the exercise of the Net Issuance Right
from (B) the aggregate fair market value of the Net Issuance
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the
specified portion hereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise Date
(as herein defined) by (Y) the fair market value one share of
Common Stock on the Net Issuance Exercise Date (as herein
defined). Expressed as a formula as shown below, such net
issuance exercise shall be computed as follows: X = B-A / Y
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued to the Holder, Y = the fair market value ("FMV") of one
share of Common Stock as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date, A
= the aggregate Exercise Price (i.e. the product determined by
multiplying the Net Issuance Warrant Shares by the Exercise
Price) and B = the aggregate FMV (i.e. the product determined
by multiplying the FMV by the Net Issuance Warrant Shares).
(G.1.2) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this
Section G.1.2, "fair market value" of a share of Common Stock
as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date shall mean:
(i) if the Net Issuance Right is exercised in
connection with and contingent upon a Public
Offering, and if the Company's registration
Statement relating to such Public Offering
has been declared effective by the SEC, then
the initial "Price to Public" specified in
the final Prospectus with respect to such
offering.
(ii) if the Net Issuance Right is not exercised
in connection with and contingent upon a
Public Offering, then as follows:
8
(a) If traded on a securities
exchange, the fair market value of
the Common Stock shall be deemed
to be the last reported sale price
or if no reported sale takes
place, the average of the last
reported sale prices for the last
three (3) trading days prior to
the Net Issuance Date;
(b) If traded on the Nasdaq National
Market or the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, the fair market value of
the Common Stock shall be deemed
to be the average of the last
reported sale price of the common
Stock on such Market over the last
three (3) trading days prior to
the Net Issuance Exercise Date;
(c) If traded over-the-counter other
than on the Nasdaq National market
or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the
fair market value of the Common
Stock shall be deemed to be the
average of the midpoint between
the closing bid and ask prices of
the Common Stock over the 3-day
trading period prior to the Net
Issuance Exercise Date; and,
(d) If there is no public market for
the Common Stock, then the fair
market value shall be determined
by mutual agreement of the
Warrantholder and the Company, and
if the Warrantholder and the
Company are unable to so agree, at
the Company's sole expense, by an
investment banker of national
reputation selected by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to the
Warrantholder.
(8.) Piggyback Registration. If, at any time commencing one year from the
effective date of the registration statement and expiring four (4) years
thereafter, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (other than in
connection with a merger or pursuant to Form ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or other comparable
9
registration statement) it will give written notice by registered mail, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration
statement, to the Holders and to all other Holders of the Warrants and/or
the Warrant Securities of its intention to do so. If the Holder or other
Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities notify the Company
within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of its or their
desire to include the resale of any such securities in such proposed
registration statement, the Company shall afford each of the Underwriter
and such Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities the opportunity
to have the resale of any such Warrant Securities registered under such
registration statement. In the event any underwriter underwriting the sale
of securities registered by such registration statement shall limit the
number of securities includable in such registration by shareholders of
the Company, the number of such securities shall be allocated pro rata
among the holders of Warrants and the holders of other securities entitled
to piggyback registration rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have
given written notice pursuant to this Section (irrespective of whether a
written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made)
to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to
withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date
thereof.
(9.) Demand Registration.
(a) At any time commencing one year from the effective date of the
registration statement and expiring four (4) years thereafter, the
Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Securities representing a
"Majority" (as hereinafter defined) of such securities (assuming the
exercise of all of the Warrants) shall have the right (which right
is in addition to the registration rights under Section (i) hereof),
exercisable by written notice to the Company, to have the Company
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), on one occasion, a registration statement and such
other documents, including a prospectus, as may be necessary in the
opinion of both counsel for the Company and counsel for the
Underwriter and Holders, in order to comply with the provisions of
the Act, so as to permit a public offering and sale of their
respective Warrant Securities for twelve (12) consecutive months by
such Holders and any other holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant
Securities who notify the Company within ten (10) days after
receiving notice from the Company of such request.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of any
registration request under this Section (i) by any Holder or Holders
to all other registered Holders of the Warrants and the Warrant
Securities within ten (10) days from the date of the receipt of any
such registration request.
10
(c) In addition to the registration rights under this Section (9) at any
time commencing one year after the effective date of the
registration statement and expiring four (4) years thereafter, the
Holders of Representative's Warrants and/or Warrant Securities shall
have the right, exercisable by written request to the Company, to
have the Company prepare and file, on one occasion, with the
Commission a registration statement so as to permit a public
offering and sale for twelve (12) consecutive months by such Holders
of its Warrant Securities; provided, however, that the provisions of
Section (9)(b) hereof shall not apply to any such registration
request and registration and all costs incident thereto shall be at
the expense of the Holder or Holders making such request.
(10.) Covenants of the Company With Respect to Registration. In connection with
any registration under Section (8) or (9) hereof, the Company covenants
and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall use its best efforts to file a registration
statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of any demand therefor,
shall use its best efforts to have any registration statement
declared effective at the earliest possible time, and shall furnish
each Holder desiring to sell Warrant Securities such number of
prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested.
(b) The Company shall pay all costs (excluding fees and expenses of
Holder(s)' counsel and any underwriting or selling commissions),
fees and expenses in connection with all registration statements
filed pursuant to Sections (h), (i) and (j) hereof including,
without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees,
printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses. If the Company shall
fail to comply with the provisions of Section (10)(a), the Company
shall, in addition to any other equitable or other relief available
to the Holder(s), extend the Exercise Period by such number of days
as shall equal the delay caused by the Company's failure.
(c) The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in
qualifying or registering the Warrant Securities included in a
registration statement for resale under the securities or blue sky
laws of such states as are reasonably requested by the Holder(s),
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file
any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign
corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
(d) The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Warrant Securities
to be resold pursuant to any registration statement and each person,
if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended ("Exchange Act"), from and against all loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim
11
whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration
statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as
the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify
the Underwriter contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting Agreement
relating to the offering.
(e) The Holder(s) of the Warrant Securities to be resold pursuant to a
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall
severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and
directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or expense or
liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever)
to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of
such Holders, or their successors or assigns, for specific inclusion
in such registration statement to the same extent with the same
effect as the provisions contained in Section 7 of the Underwriting
Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify
the Company.
(f) The Holder(s) may exercise their Warrants prior to the initial
filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.
(g) The Company shall not permit the inclusion of any securities other
than the Warrant Securities to be included in any registration
statement filed pursuant to Section (9) hereof, or permit any other
registration statement to be or remain effective during the
effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to Section
(9) hereof, other than a secondary offering of equity securities of
the Company, without the prior written consent of the Holders of the
Warrants and Warrant Securities representing a Majority of such
securities.
(h) The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in the
offering and to each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart,
addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of (x) an opinion of
counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such
registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement), and (y) a "cold comfort"
letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and,
if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, a
letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement) signed by the independent public accountants who have
issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in
12
such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the
same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the
prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants'
letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of
issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.
(i) The Company shall as soon as practicable after the effective date of
the registration statement, and in any event within 15 months
thereafter, make "generally available to its security holders"
(within the meaning of Rule 158 under the Act) an earnings statement
(which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Act
and covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning
after the effective date of the registration statement.
(j) The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder participating in
the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described
below and to the managing underwriters, copies of all correspondence
between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and
all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its
staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each
Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable
advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted
from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to
comply with applicable securities laws or rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or an Exchange.
Such investigation shall include access to books, records and
properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable
