permitted form. Shareholders holding, in the aggregate, Units representing not less than the value or percentage indicated in Section 2.1(b)(i) below shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Requested Registration requested by them under this Section 2.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the Company or any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Requested Registration and, upon receipt by the Company of written requests from such Shareholders, the Company shall use its best efforts to terminate or withdraw any such Requested Registration. The Registration Expenses of such terminated or withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.3 if the Shareholders shall have terminated or withdrawn such registration following a breach by the Company of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, provided, however, that if the Shareholders terminate or withdraw such registration other than following a breach by the Company of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Expenses of such terminated or withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Shareholders.

(iii)

Prior Registration Limitation.

(iv)

Delay Limitation. If the Company shall furnish to the Shareholders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer or chairman of the board of directors of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors, the effecting of the Requested Registration at the time requested would be detrimental to the Company or its stockholders, then the Company shall have the right to defer such Requested Registration for a period of not more than 180 days; provided, however, that the Company may only assert such delay once during any 12-month period.

(v)

Simultaneous Company Registration Limitation.

(b)

Indemnification by Holders. As a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 5.1(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from any registration statement under which the offering and sale of such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if and only if and to the extent that such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company directly by such Person for use in connection with the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the obligation of any such Holder under this Section 5.1(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration, unless such liability arises out of or is based upon such Holder's willful misconduct.

(c)

Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding, claim, investigation or other similar event involving a claim referred to in this Section 5.1, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against a party required to provide indemnification (an "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation under this Section 5.1, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such

action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, then each Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d)

Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section 5.1 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Holder that participates in a Registration to each other and to any underwriter, as applicable, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any United States federal or state law or regulation, other than the Securities Act, of any United States governmental authority.

(e)

Indemnification Payment. The indemnification required by this Section 5.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and as a loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is incurred.

(f)

Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities.

SECTION 5.2 Contribution .

If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 5.1 an amount or additional amount, as the case may be, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, demands or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the other, and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity of the parties to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Shareholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.2 were determined by

pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The amount paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim subject to this Article V. 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 that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 7.6 Equitable Remedies.

The parties agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the agreements and provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that would be suffered by the parties in the event that this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly hereby agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically such terms and conditions of this Agreement, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies to which the other party is entitled to at law or in equity.

This Agreement is for the benefit of any Holder irrespective of whether such Holder is a signatory to this Agreement, subject to (a) the provisions respecting the minimum numbers or percentages of shares of Registrable Securities required in order to entitle Holders to certain rights, or take certain actions, contained herein and (b) the limitations set forth in the agreement with the Company granting rights to register Registrable Securities to which any such Holder is a party.

SECTION 7.8 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
