Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only)
to the
extent that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.
(b) An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties

and
expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume
the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any

Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense

subject matter of such Proceeding.

incurred, within ten Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the
Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined
that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder).
5.4 Contribution. In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under
the Securities Act in any case in which contribution under the Securities
Act
may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling
person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this
Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
they
may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that
such
Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that
the
public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under
the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by and sold under such Registration Statement, and the Company and
other
selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion in proportion to
the
securities offered by and sold by each under such Registration Statement;
provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price
of all
such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such
Registration Statement and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

PROVISIONS

the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their

the
Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable.

Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and
not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall
use
their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve
the
same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term,
provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed

6.9 Headings. The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
6.10 Shares
Held by the Company and its Affiliates. Whenever the consent
or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities
is
required hereunder, the Registrable Securities held by the Company or its
Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns
thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its
holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining
whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required
percentage.
6.11 Independent
Nature ofHolders' Obligations and Rights.
The
Holder who is a party to this Agreement, acknowledges that the Company is
entering into substantially identical agreements with other holders of the
Company’s Registrable Securities; each such agreement being deemed a separate
and independent agreement between the Company and such other Holders, except
that each Holder acknowledges and consents to the rights granted to each
other
Holder under such agreements. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder,
and
neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein
or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action
taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind
of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting
in
concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce
its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined
as an
additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
6.12. Entire Agreement. This
Agreement, together with all the exhibits hereto, constitutes and contains
the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence,
agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties respecting
the subject matter hereof.
6.13 Third Parties. Nothing
in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights
or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

the event that any action, suit or other proceeding is instituted concerning

arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder,
the
prevailing party shall recover all of such party’s costs and attorneys’ fees
incurred in each such action, suit or other proceeding, including any and
all
appeals or petitions therefrom.
6.15 Adjustments for Stock Splits
and Certain Other Changes. Wherever in this Agreement there
is a reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock
of the Company of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence of any
subdivision, combination or stock dividend of such class or series of
stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall
automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the
outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such subdivision,
combination or stock dividend.
6.16
Rule 144 Reporting.With
a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations
of the
Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities
to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

defined
in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times during the Effectiveness
Period; and

Law. The
corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning
the
relative rights of the Company and its shareholders. All other questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of
this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of
New
York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York,
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR
THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING
OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Exhibit
A
Plan
of Distribution
Each
Selling Stockholder, or his pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
of
the common stock may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of
common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling
Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling
shares:
|
|
|
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;
|
|
|
|
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;
|
|
|
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a
part;
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
|
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or
otherwise;
|
|
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
or
|
|
|
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 (the “Securities Act”), if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
The
Selling Stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or to or
through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or
commissions from the Selling Stockholders. They may also receive compensation
from the purchasers of our common stock for whom such broker-dealers may
act as
agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as
to a
particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary
commissions).

Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-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, but,
except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an
agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR
Rule 2440; and in the
case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR
IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions 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 the common stock short 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 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. Each Selling Stockholder has informed
the
Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In
no
event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which,
in
the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The
Selling Stockholders will pay all commissions, transfer taxes and other expenses
associated with their sales. The shares offered hereby are being registered
pursuant to our contractual obligations, and we have agreed to pay the expenses
of the preparation of this prospectus.
Because
Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of
the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities
covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the
Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with
the
proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The
Selling Stockholders
have advised us that they have not
entered into agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters
or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. The Selling Stockholders
do not have an underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of our common
stock. There is no over-allotment option and no shares will be sold by
us.
We
agreed
to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which
the
shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, (ii) all of the shares
have
been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or
any other rule of similar effect, or (iii) two years from the date that the
registration statement of which this prospectus is part was ordered effective
by
the Commission.
The
resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition,
in
certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been
registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption
from
the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.
Regulation
M may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our
common
stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other person distributing our common
stock. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
may
apply to sales of shares of our common stock in the market and to the activities
of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation
M of
the Securities Exchange Act may restrict the ability of any person engaged
in
the distribution of shares of our common stock to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the particular shares of common stock being
distributed for a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement
of such distribution. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of
our
common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to our common stock.
Rules
101
and 102 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, among
other
things, generally prohibit certain participants in a distribution from bidding
for or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial
interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution.
Rule
104 of Regulation M governs bids and purchases made to stabilize the price
of a
security in connection with a distribution of the security.

of Beneficial Ownership. Do you wish to disclaim shares
beneficially owned and reported above for purposes other than for use in
the
Registration Statement?
ANSWER: YES NO

You

admission of ownership for other purposes, such as short swing trading
liabilities.
If
“yes,”
please provide the information requested in the following table with respect

is under common control with, another person.
The
term

understanding, whether or not set forth in a formal document.
The
term
“associate” as used throughout the Questionnaire, means
(a) any corporation or organization (other than the Company or any
subsidiary) of which you are an officer, director, member or partner or of
which
you are, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 5% 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, (c) your spouse, (d) any relative of your spouse or
any relative of yours who has the same home as you or who is a director or
officer or key executive of the Company or any subsidiary, (e) any partner,
syndicate member or person with whom you have agreed to act in concert with
respect to the acquisition, holding, voting or disposition of shares of the
Company’s securities.
The
term
“beneficially,” when used in connection with the ownership of
securities, means (a) any interest in a security which entitles you to any
of the rights or benefits of ownership even though you may not be the owner
of
record or (b) securities owned by you directly or indirectly, including
those held by you for your own benefit (regardless of how registered) and
securities held by others for your benefit (regardless of how registered),
such
as by custodians, brokers, nominees, pledges, etc., and including securities
held by an estate or trust in which you have an interest as legatee or
beneficiary, securities owned by a partnership of which you are a partner,
securities held by a personal holding company of which you are a shareholder,
shares held by a public company of which you are a director, officer or holder
of more than a 5% interest, and securities held in the name of your spouse,

The
term
“Commission” as used herein refers to the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
term
“control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
the
person specified, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
contract or otherwise.
A
“control person” of a specified person is a person that directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
the person specified.
The
term
“executive officer(s)” means the president, any vice president
in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales,
administration or finance), any other officer who performs a policy making
function or any person who performs similar policy making functions for the
Company (or other entity that may be indicated).
The
term
“family relationship” means any relationship by blood, marriage
or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
The
term
“immediate family” includes the spouse; parents; children;
siblings; mothers and fathers-in-law; sons and daughters-in-law; and brothers
and sisters-in-law of the person specified.
The
term
“material relationship” has not been defined by the
SEC. However, the SEC has indicated that it will probably construe as
a “material relationship” any relationship which tends to prevent arms-length
bargaining in dealings with a company, whether arising from a close business
connection or family relationship, a relationship of control or
otherwise. It seems prudent, therefore, to consider that you would
have such a relationship, for example, with any organization of which you
are an
officer, director, trustee or partner or in which you own, directly or
indirectly, 5% or more of the outstanding voting stock, or in which you have
some other substantial interest, and with any person or organization with
whom
you have, or with whom any relative or spouse (or any other person or
organization as to which you have any of the foregoing other relationships)
has,
a contractual relationship.
The
NASD
defines a “member” as being any broker or dealer or individual,
partnership, corporation or other legal entity admitted to membership in
the
NASD or any officer or partner of such a member, or the executive representative
of such a member or the substitute for such representative.
