secondary offering or distribution, not less than 90 days prior to each such
registration Buyer shall give to Seller written notice of such proposal
which shall describe in detail the proposed registration and distribution

securities or blue sky laws is intended) and, upon the written request of
Seller furnished within 30 days after the date of any such notice, proceed
to include in such registration such shares of the common stock of Buyer
that Seller has received pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement
("Piggy-Back Shares") as have been requested by the Seller to be included in
such registration. Seller shall in its request describe briefly the
proposed disposition of such shares of Common Stock. Buyer will in each

blue sky laws of any jurisdiction requested by the Seller , all to the
extent necessary to permit the sale or other disposition thereof (in the
manner stated in such request) by the Seller.

Buyer proposes to sell and the Piggy-Back Shares requested to be included in
such registration on a pro rata basis.

agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements; provided that no holder of Piggy-Back Shares included in any

warranties to Buyer or the underwriters other than representations and
warranties regarding the Seller and the Seller's intended method of
distribution.

proposed method of distribution;
(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
as the Seller shall reasonably request, and do such other reasonable acts
and things as may be required of it to enable the Seller to conclude the

(viii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
such Piggy-Back Shares not later than the effective date of such
registration statement and thereafter maintain such a transfer agent and
registrar; and otherwise cooperate with the Seller and the managing
underwriter to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Piggy-Back Shares to be sold and not bearing any

with the managing underwriter, if any, containing customary (i) terms of
offer and sale of the securities, payment provisions, underwriting discounts
and commissions, and (ii) representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities, terms and conditions;
(x) notify the Seller during any time when a prospectus
relating to the registration is required to be delivered under the

state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, and at the request of the Seller promptly
prepare and furnish to the Seller a reasonable number of copies of a
supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so

distribution of Piggy-Back Shares (other than as part of such underwritten
public offering) during the period beginning 15 days prior to the effective
date of such registration statement and ending on the 90th day (or such
longer period of time as may be requested by the managing underwriter (which
period shall in no event exceed 180 days)) after the effective date of such
registration statement; provided, however, that each person that is an
officer, director, or beneficial owner of five percent or more of the
outstanding shares of Buyer Common Shares enters into such an agreement on
similar terms.

distribution of its equity securities or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities during the 15 days
prior to or 90 days (or such longer period of time as may be requested by

after any underwritten registration pursuant this Section has become
effective, except as part of such underwritten registration and except
pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor or similar
forms thereto.
14.6. Registration Expenses. If Buyer is required by the
provisions of this Section to use its best efforts to effect the
registration or qualification under the Securities Act or any state
securities or blue sky laws of any of the Piggy-Back Shares, Buyer shall pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including (i) all expenses incident to
filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ii)

Piggy-Back Shares being sold; (2) any stock transfer taxes incurred in
respect of the Piggy-Back Shares being sold; or (3) the legal fees of the
Seller.
14.7. Indemnification.
14.7.1. In connection with any registration or
qualification of securities under this Section, Buyer agrees to indemnify
the Seller against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigation) caused by any untrue, or
alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or notification or offering
circular (as amended or supplemented if Buyer shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any omission, or alleged
omission, to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
based upon information furnished in writing to Buyer by Seller or any
underwriter expressly for use therein.
14.7.2. In connection with any registration or
qualification of securities under this Section, the Seller, agrees to
indemnify Buyer and each officer, director and controlling person of Buyer
against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including the
costs of reasonable investigation) caused by any untrue, or alleged untrue,
statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, prospectus or notification or offering circular (as
amended or supplemented if the Seller shall have furnished information for
any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any omission, or alleged
omission, to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the
extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission based upon information furnished in writing to Buyer by the Seller
expressly for use therein.
14.7.3. Any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder will (i) give reasonably prompt written notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and
(ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of
interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with
respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense
of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to
any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An
indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the
defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party
with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
14.7.4. The indemnification provided for under this
Section will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or
controlling person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer
of Piggy-Back Shares.
14.7.5. The parties agree to make such provisions, as
are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such
party in the event indemnification is unavailable for any reason. Such
right to contribution shall be in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of and benefits to Buyer on the one hand and the
Seller on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits to
the indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, the total proceeds received by the
indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the offering
to which such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses relate. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission or state a material fact, has been made
by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or the
indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant
hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section. No person found guilty of any fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
15. Notice. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be either (i) personally delivered with signed
receipt, (ii) sent by first class certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, or (iii) sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier
