(c) As used in this Agreement, the term "Transfer" shall mean any sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation, encumbrance or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of shares of the Stock.

Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided, however, that (1) such Market Stand- Off shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, and (2) the Investor shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar restrictions.

The Company agrees that, with regard to the Stock, the Investor shall have the registration rights described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto. The Investor understands and agrees that (1) the Stock will be characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as it is 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 Act only in certain limited circumstances, and (2) each certificate representing the Stock and any other securities issued in respect of the Stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event (unless no longer required in the opinion of counsel for the Company) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with appropriate legends mandated by federal and state securities laws. 6.5 PUBLICITY. Except as required by law, no press release, public statement, advertisement or similar publicity from any party hereunder with respect to the participation of the Investor in the transactions contemplated hereby (or any other matter relating to the Company and the Investor or its affiliates) shall be issued or made without the prior consent of Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may disclose Investor's investment in the Company and the terms thereof and such other information previously approved by Investor as of the date hereof for inclusion in the Registration Statement. [MATERIAL DELETED.] EXHIBIT A 1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company covenants and agrees as follows: 1.1 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this EXHIBIT A, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investor to which this EXHIBIT A is attached. In addition, the following terms used herein shall have the following meanings: (a) the term "Form S-3" means such form under the Act as in effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the SEC that permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC; (b) the term "1934 Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (c) the term "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.1.2 COMPANY REGISTRATION.(a) If, at any time 180 days after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company proposes to register any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Stock, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Investor written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of Investor given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(c) below, use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Stock that each Investor has requested to be registered. Nothing contained in this Section 1.2 obligates the Company to register any of its stock or other securities under the Act. (b) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Investor has elected to include securities in such registration. (c) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.2 to include any of the Investor's securities in such underwriting unless Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including share of the Stock, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including shares of the Stock, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the offering. 1.3 FORM S-3 REGISTRATION.(a) If the Company shall receive a written request from the Investor that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to the Stock, then the Company shall promptly commence preparation of such registration statement, and as expeditiously as reasonably possible when the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, effect the registration of all, but not less than all, such Stock on Form S-3 and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of the Stock. The Company shall have no obligation to affect any registration of less than all of the Stock. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.3, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.3: (1) if the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company stating that in the good-faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Investor under this Section 1.3; or (2) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance. (c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 after the earlier to occur of the following events: (1) the Company has effected one (1) registration pursuant to this Section 1.3, and such registration has been declared or ordered effective and otherwise satisfies and continues to satisfy the terms and conditions of this Section 1.3; (2) the Company has voluntarily effected the registration of all of the Stock without having first received a request for such registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 (a "Voluntary Registration"), and such Voluntary Registration has been declared or ordered effective and otherwise satisfies and continues to satisfy the terms and conditions of this Section 1.3; or (3) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Investor. 1.4 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required under Section 1.3 to effect the registration on Form S-3 of the Stock, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-3 with respect to such Stock and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the mailing of the request for such registration, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such mailing. The Company shall keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) two (2) years after the Closing, (2) the distribution of all of the Stock as contemplated in the registration statement has been completed, and (3) the date on which all shares of the Stock held by the Investor may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period. (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.(c) Furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Stock. (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. (e) Notify the Investor covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. (f) Cause all such Stock registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed. (g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all of the Stock registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Stock, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration. 1.5 INVESTOR OBLIGATION TO FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant hereto with respect to the Stock that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Stock, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Stock. 1.6 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant hereto, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers, and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in its capacity as counsel to the Investor hereunder, but excluding the fees and disbursements of any other counsel for the Investor) shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant hereto if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor unless Investor agrees to forfeit its right of registration under Section 1.3; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Investor has learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Investor at the time of its request and has withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Investor shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain its right of registration pursuant to Section 1.3. 1.7 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Stock is included in a registration statement under Section 1.2 or 1.3: (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for the Investor and each person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (2) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to the Investor, or such underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person. (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, and any controlling person of any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based on any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Investor will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection (b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection (b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by the Investor. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.7.(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. (f) The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of the Stock in a registration statement pursuant hereto, and otherwise. 1.8 TERMINATION. The Company's obligation to register the Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (1) the third anniversary of the Closing and (2) the date on which all shares of the Stock held by the Investor may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.
