registration of all or part of the shares of Common Stock ("Registerable
Securities"), under and in accordance with all federal and state securities laws
(the "Demand Registration"). Upon receipt of a Registration Request, Borrower

register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of others,
other than a registration relating solely to "employee benefit plans" (Form
S-8), or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction (Form
S-4), or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary

anticipated date of filing with the SEC of a registration statement with respect
to such registration. Such notice shall offer the Purchaser the opportunity to

Common Stock with respect to which the Company has received a written request
from the Purchaser for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) calendar days after

to effect not more than one (1) Piggyback Registration.

registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter or
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the total
number or dollar amount of securities of any class requested to be included in
such registration is sufficiently large to adversely affect the success of such
offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, all
securities the Company proposes to sell to the public, the proceeds of which
shall go to the Company (ii) second, up to the full number of the Registerable
8

adversely affecting the offering.

to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service
of process in any State;
9
(f) timely file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder,
all to the extent required to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable

amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the SEC;

SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser, its directors and
officers and each person who control the Purchaser (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses caused, by arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to (i) any
inaccuracy in or any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of the Company contained in the Agreement and all Schedules and
Exhibits thereto; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus filed pursuant to Section 6 hereof or 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 the
same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the
Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in such registration statement or
prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall
be entitled to receive the indemnification amount (i) in cash; (ii) by issuance
of additional shares of common stock of the Company in the amount (based on the
price per share at which the shares of Common Stock have been puchased under
this Agreement) equivalent to the indemnification amount, which shares shall be
issued to the Purchaser by the Company for no consideration; or (iii) any
combination of cash and shares, provided all such issuances of shares are in
compliance with federal securities laws.
7.2 Indemnification of the Company. The Purchaser agrees to furnish to the
Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably
10
requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus and
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the
Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (i) any breach of the
representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Purchaser
contained in this Agreement; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to
Section 6 hereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is
contained or omitted in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by
the Purchaser, and in no event will the Purchaser be obligated to indemnify the
Company, its directors, officers or any person who controls the Company in an
amount in excess of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of Registerable
shares of Common Stock in the offering giving rise to a claim for
indemnification.
7.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
judicially determined to be unavailable to an indemnified person in respect of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified person hereunder, each party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expense relating thereto) (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the
Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such
clause (i) but also the relative fault of each, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.
7.4 Defense of Action. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder
will (i) give 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 the
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed, the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An
indemnifying party 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.
7.5 Remedies Non Exclusive. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be
available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
