(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Investor of the occurrence of any event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in the 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare an amendment to the Registration Statement and supplement to the Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement and amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request;

and provided, further, that, if the foregoing inspection and information gathering would otherwise disrupt the Company's conduct of its business, such inspection and information gathering shall, to the maximum extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of the Investors and the other parties entitled thereto by one firm of counsel designed by and on behalf of the majority in interest of Investors and other parties. 4. Obligations of the Investors In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations: 6 (a) As long as the Company complies with the notice procedures herein, it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. As least fourteen days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company reasonably requires from each such Investor (the "Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Such notice shall be clearly marked (on the envelope containing such notice, upon the facsimile cover sheet, or as may otherwise be required) as follows: "URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED". If at least two business days prior to the anticipated filing date the Company has not received the Requested Information from an Investor (a "Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Non-Responsive Investor and have no further obligations to the Non-Responsive Investor; (b) Each Investor by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; and (c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), it shall immediately discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 5. Right to Suspend Registration Statement So long as the Company has maintained the initial registration for a minimum period of 90 days, the Company shall have the right for up to 120 days, in the aggregate, in any consecutive 360-day period to suspend any Registration Statement in the event that the Company determines, in good faith, that it is in the best interest of the Company for the Company to proceed with its own offering of equity securities. The Company may so proceed by delivering written notice of such intention to the Investors. The Company may exercise the right to suspend a Registration Statement only twice in any 360-day period, provided that such exercises shall not exceed 120 days, in the aggregate, in any 360-day period. 7 6. Expenses of Registration All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions or similar fees relating to the Registrable Securities, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but not of the Investors) shall be borne by the Company. 7. Indemnification and Contribution (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each of their respective officers and directors and each person who controls such Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act(each such person being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Person")from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or an 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 arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or an omission or alleged omission from, such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (ii) in the case of the occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(e), the use by the Indemnified Person of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has provided to such Indemnified Person an updated Prospectus correcting the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of its Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as a director nominee of the Company), its officers who sign any Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become 8 subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that absent fraud, no Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(b) for any amount in excess of the net proceeds paid to such Investor in respect of shares sold by it, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred. The indemnity provided for in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) Notice of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 (an "Indemnified Party") of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one such separate legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or series of substantially related actions if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed in writing to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (y) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by such counsel in writing that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnifying Party different from or in conflict with any legal defenses which may be available to the Indemnified Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior 9 written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, in no event shall any Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 7 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor's Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act. (f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity. 8. Rule 144 With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time 10 permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) (1) of Rule 144; (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144; and (c) Provide within a reasonable period of time of a written request of the Investor and at the Company's expense, a legal opinion addressed to the Company's transfer agent verifying the transferability of the Shares in accordance with Rule 144. 9. Assignment The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by the Investors to any permitted transferee of all or a portion (which portion shall exceed 10% of the Registrable Securities on an as-converted basis) of such Registrable Securities (or all or a portion (which portion shall exceed 10% of the Registrable Securities on an as-converted basis) of any Notes or Warrant of the Company which is convertible into such securities) only if: (a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within ten (10) Business Days of such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment, the securities so transferred or assigned to the transferee or assignee constitute Restricted Securities, and (d) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. 10. Amendment and Waiver Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold at least two-thirds (66 2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. 11. Changes in Common Stock If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, reverse split, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment 11 shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may be required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed. 12.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best 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 the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. (g) The Company agrees with the Investors that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the material provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise materially breached by the Company. Accordingly, the Investors shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent material breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the material terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and that the Company shall reimburse the Investors for all reasonable costs relating thereto. In addition to the injunctive relief provided pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, if the Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities shall not be declared effective by the Commission within six (6) months of the Closing Date and the Company shall have been shown to have failed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Registration Statement effective, the Company shall be entitled to liquidated damages at a rate of five percent (5%) per month (calculated to the nearest calendar day) of the value of the Registrable Securities not so declared effective until, and to the extent, such Registrable Securities shall be declared effective. The value of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be determined by the average closing price of the Common Stock on its principal exchange (in terms of volume) at the time of determination for 13 the twenty (20) consecutive trading days commencing on the first trading day occurring six (6) months after the Closing Date. (h) The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. (i) This Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants supersede all prior agreements and undertakings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. (j) Subject to the requirements of Section 9 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. (k) All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require. (l) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof. (m) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. A facsimile transmission of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto. (n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto expressly agree that additional parties may join this Agreement as Initial Investors, from time to time (and prior to January 30, 2002) and become a party hereto provided, that, each such additional party shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall agree to assume the rights and obligations of an Initial Investor hereunder as if such additional party was an original signatory hereto as of the date of this Agreement, and, provided, further, that such additional party shall be permitted under Section 1(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement to join the Note Purchase Agreement as an additional Investor (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).
