Such action shall include, but not be limited to, making available adequate current public information meeting the requirements of paragraph (c) of Rule 144. 5.2 Tag-Along Rights. (a) In the event any Significant Stockholder intends to Transfer shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (together with all shares of Common Stock Transferred by such Person in the preceding six months) exceeding $100,000, such Significant Stockholder (the "Selling Stockholder") shall notify the Purchaser, in writing, of such proposed Transfer and its terms and conditions. Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such notice, the Purchaser shall irrevocably notify the Selling Stockholder if it elects to participate in such Transfer (a "Participation Notice"). If the Purchaser shall fail to notify the Selling Stockholder within such ten (10) Business Day period, it shall be deemed to have waived its rights hereunder. If the Purchaser shall have delivered a Participation Notice, it shall have the right to sell, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Stockholder, an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the shares of Common Stock the third party actually proposes to purchase multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Purchaser and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder and the Purchaser. Nothing contained herein shall obligate the Selling Stockholder to consummate the proposed Transfer or limit the Selling Stockholder's right to amend or modify the terms of the proposed Transfer in any respect; provided that the Purchaser is offered the opportunity to participate in the proposed Transfer on such amended or modified term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2 shall not apply to any Transfer if at the date thereof Purchaser and its Subsidiaries collectively shall beneficially own fewer than 190,500 shares of Common Stock. (b) The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock or any other class of capital stock which is convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to any Person if such issuance or sale would result in such Person becoming a Significant Stockholder unless and until such Person shall have delivered to the Company and the Purchaser a written 12 agreement stating that such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.2 of this Agreement. 5.3 Preemptive Right. (i) If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the first anniversary of the Operational Date, the Company proposes to issue Common Stock of any kind (including any warrants, options or securities or units comprising securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or rights to acquire the same) of the Company, other than (i) pursuant to an underwritten public offering, (ii) pursuant to an employee or non-management director stock option plan, stock bonus plan, stock purchase plan or other management equity program or plan or (iii) securities issuable upon exercise of previously issued warrants, options or other rights to acquire Common Stock or upon conversion of previously issued securities convertible into Common Stock, then the Company shall: (1) give written notice setting forth in reasonable detail (a) the terms and provisions of the securities proposed to be issued (the "Proposed Securities"); (b) the price and other terms of the proposed sale of such securities; (c) the amount of such securities proposed to be issued; and (d) such other information as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to evaluate the proposed issuance; and (2) offer to issue to the Purchaser a portion of the Proposed Securities equal to a percentage determined by dividing (x) the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Purchaser, by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Purchaser must exercise its purchase rights hereunder within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Company. (ii) Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, or if the Purchaser shall default in paying for or purchasing the Proposed Securities on the terms offered by the Company, the Company will be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the Purchaser has not elected to purchaser during the ninety (90) days following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Purchaser. Any Proposed Securities offered or sold by the Company after such 90 day period must be reoffered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.3. (iii) The election by the Purchaser not to exercise its preemptive rights under this Section 5.3 in any one instance shall not affect its right (other than in respect of a reduction in its percentage holders) as to any subsequent proposed issuance. Any sale of such securities by the Company without first giving the Purchaser the rights described in this Section 5.3 shall be void and of no force and effect. 13 ARTICLE 6 COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER The Company and its underwriters, by written notice from the Company and its lead underwriter to the Purchaser (a "Lock-up Request"), given as provided herein on or after the time of the initial filing with the Commission of any registration statement (other than a registration statement relating to an offering described in Section 7.1 with respect to any offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (the "Offering"), may request that the Purchaser agree not to offer, sell or transfer any of the Purchased Shares, or engage in any hedging transactions with respect to the Purchased Shares, during the 180-day period (the "Lock-up Period") beginning on a date specified in the Lock-up Request, which date may be as early as five (5) business days prior to the expected effective date (but no later than the effective date) with respect to the registration statement for the Offering, and the Purchaser agrees to consent to and be bound by the restrictions specified in any such Lock-up Request; provided, however, that (a) such a lock-up agreement with respect to any Offering shall not prevent Purchaser from selling Purchased Shares which it is entitled to sell in such Offering pursuant to Section 7.2 if it shall have made the request specified therein, (b) the Purchaser's Lock-Up Period shall not be greater than the shortest similar period to which any Comparable Stockholder is requested to agree by the lead underwriter of such Offering, and (c) the Purchaser shall be obligated to consent to and be bound by a total of by no more than two such lock-up agreements with respect to Offerings actually declared effective by the Commission. The Company shall specify the expected effective date of any Offering by notice to the Purchaser given not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of the Lock-up Period. The Purchaser shall cause each Person to whom it Transfers, in one or a series of related transactions, 500,000 or more shares of Common Stock to execute and deliver to the Company a letter agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees (and to cause each other Person to whom it Transfers any shares of Common Stock if, after giving effect to such Transfer, such Person, together with its Affiliates, would beneficially own 500,000 or more shares of Common Stock to execute and deliver to the Company a similar letter agreement) to comply with the requirements of this Article 6 (including this sentence) to the same extent and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchaser. 14 ARTICLE 7 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 7.1 Requested Registration. If the Company shall receive from the Purchaser, at any time following the Operational Date, a written request (which shall specify whether the distribution will be made by means of an underwriting) that the Company effect any registration with respect to all or a part of the Purchased Shares that constitute Registrable Securities (a "Demand Notice"), which Demand Notice shall request registration of not less than 500,000 shares of Common Stock or all remaining shares of Common Stock then held by the Purchaser, the Company will, as soon as practicable, use its diligent best efforts to effect such registration as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of the Purchased Shares as are specified in such request. After the Company has effected one (1) such registration pursuant to this Section 7.1 and such registration has been declared effective and the distribution contemplated thereunder completed, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser a certificate signed by the President or the Chief Executive Officer 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 registration statement to be filed and it is therefore desirable and in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Purchaser; provided however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period. 7.2 Company Registration. (a) If the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities for the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substan-tially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Purchased Shares, the Company will promptly give to the Purchaser a written notice thereof and include in such registration, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Purchased Shares that constitute Registrable Securities specified in a written request made by the Purchaser within ten Business Days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described above. The Purchaser shall be entitled to have its shares included in an unlimited number of registrations pursuant to Section 7.2. (b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Purchaser as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 7.2(a). In such event, the right of the Purchaser to registration pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conditioned upon the Purchaser's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion 15 of the Purchaser's shares of Common Stock in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the Purchaser shall have elected to exercise its rights under this Section 7.2(a), it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.2, if the representative determines and so advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise the Purchaser. In such an event, the number of Purchased Shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting by the Purchaser shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares held by the Purchaser and each other Person (other than the Company) registering shares under such registration), by such minimum number of shares as is necessary to comply with such limitation.

(a) The Company will indemnify the Purchaser, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, with respect to each registration which has been effected pursuant to this Article 7, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or other document (including any related registration statement, 17 notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on 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, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse the Purchaser, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling the Purchaser, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser with respect to the Purchaser and stated to be specifically for use therein. (b) The Purchaser will, if Purchased Shares held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact with respect to the Purchaser contained in any such registration statement, prospectus or other document made by the Purchaser, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact with respect to the Purchaser required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements by the Purchaser therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such other directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser with respect to the Purchaser and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to the Purchaser of securities sold as contemplated herein. (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.6 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 herein, 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 18 other in connection with the statements or omissions which 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. (d) Unless Purchaser is at the time an Affiliate of the Company, the Purchaser shall not be required, in connection with any underwriting arrangements entered into in connection with any registration, to provide any information, representations or warranties or covenants with respect to the Company, its business or operations, and the Purchaser shall not be required to provide any indemnification with respect to any registration statement except as specifically provided in 7.6(b) hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.6(d) shall create, or be deemed to create, any obligation on the part of Purchaser to provide at any time any information, representations or warranties or covenants with respect to the Company, its business or operations, or any indemnification with respect to any registration statement other than as specifically provided in Section 7.6(b).
