In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. Any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. (b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities: NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR -11- 12 PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. Neither the Shares nor the Underlying Shares shall contain the legend set forth above nor any other legend while an Underlying Shares Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or the holder is relying on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") in connection with the resale of such Underlying Shares, or in the event there is not an effective Underlying Shares Registration Statement and Rule 144 is not then available for resale of the Underlying Shares, at such time, as such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its internal securities counsel to deliver the direction letter included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer agent on the date that such Underlying Shares Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (the "Effective Date"). The Company agrees that, following the Effective Date, it will, no later than four (4) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company of a certificate or certificates representing Shares, deliver to such Purchaser an identical certificate or certificates representing such Shares which shall be free from such legend. The Company further agrees that if any Shares or Underlying Shares are issued with a legend in accordance with this Section 3.1(b), it will, within four (4) Business Days after request therefor by a Purchaser, provide such Purchaser with a certificate or certificates representing such Shares or Underlying Shares, free from such legend at such time as such legend would not have been required under this Section 3.1(b) had such issuance occurred on the date of such request. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions of transfer set forth in this Section. 3.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of Underlying Shares upon exercise of the Warrants will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Underlying Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is unconditional and absolute, subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrants regardless of the effect of any such dilution. 3.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as the Purchasers own Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing its attorneys to render and deliver any legal opinion required in order to permit a Purchaser to receive -12- 13 Underlying Shares free of all restrictive legends and to subsequently sell Underlying Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of a notice of an intention to sell or other form of notice having a similar effect. Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 3.4 Integration.
