Whenever the restrictions on transfer shall terminate as hereinabove provided with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock, the holder of any such shares of Common Stock bearing the legend set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.3 as to which such conditions shall have terminated shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense (except for the payment of any applicable transfer tax) and as expeditiously as possible, new stock certificates not bearing such legend.

3.4 Access to Information . The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been provided with a copy of the Report and has carefully reviewed the same. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company has made available to it the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company’s officers and directors concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and the business and financial condition of the Company, and to acquire, and the Purchaser has received to its satisfaction, such information about the business and financial condition of the Company and the terms and conditions of the offering as it has requested.
3.5 Additional Representations of the Purchaser .

4.1 Consummation of Agreement . The Company shall perform and fulfill all conditions and obligations on its part to be performed and fulfilled under the Agreement, to the end that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be carried out.

The Company agrees that it shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause such consents or opinions of counsel to be transmitted to the Company’s transfer agent within 72 hours of receipt of a request by the Purchaser, provided that all required certifications or representations required to effect such transfer have been provided with such request. The Company will pay all legal expenses required to effect such transfer contemplated by this Section 4.3.
7
6.1 Demand Registration . The Purchaser may, at any time after the Closing Date, make a written request (the “Registration Request”) to the Company for registration of all or part of the shares of Common Stock (“Registerable Securities”), under and in accordance with all federal and state securities laws (the “Demand Registration”). Upon receipt of a Registration Request, Borrower shall as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Registration Request is made, file with the SEC a registration statement covering such Registerable Securities. The Company shall be obligated to effect not more than two (2) Demand Registrations. If, after the Registration Request, the Purchaser withdraws the shares it requested for registration from registration such Demand Registration will be deemed to have occurred.
6.2 Piggyback Registration . If, at any time, the Company shall determine to register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of others, other than a registration relating solely to “employee benefit plans” (Form S-8), or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction (Form S-4), or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales, the Company will give written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to effect such a registration not later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the anticipated date of filing with the SEC of a registration statement with respect to such registration. Such notice shall offer the Purchaser the opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Registerable shares of Common Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to the provisions hereof, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration all Registerable shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Company has received a written request from the Purchaser for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of Purchaser’s notice. The Company shall be obligated to effect not more than one (1) Piggyback Registration.
If a Piggyback Registration is being made with respect to an underwritten registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities of any class requested to be included in such registration is sufficiently large to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell to the public, the proceeds of which shall go to the Company (ii) second, up to the full number of the Registerable shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration in excess of the number or dollar amount of securities the Company proposes to sell which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without adversely affecting the offering.

9
(f) timely file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, all to the extent required to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to (i) Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC;
(g) take all action necessary to render the Registrable shares of Common Stock eligible for inclusion on AMEX for trading thereon; and

SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser, its directors and officers and each person who control the Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused, by arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to (i) any inaccuracy in or any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in the Agreement and all Schedules and Exhibits thereto; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to Section 6 hereof or 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, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in such registration statement or prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the indemnification amount (i) in cash; (ii) by issuance of additional shares of common stock of the Company in the amount (based on the price per share at which the shares of Common Stock have been puchased under this Agreement) equivalent to the indemnification amount, which shares shall be issued to the Purchaser by the Company for no consideration; or (iii) any combination of cash and shares, provided all such issuances of shares are in compliance with federal securities laws.
10
7.2 Indemnification of the Company . The Purchaser agrees to furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (i) any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to Section 6 hereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained or omitted in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Purchaser, and in no event will the Purchaser be obligated to indemnify the Company, its directors, officers or any person who controls the Company in an amount in excess of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of Registerable shares of Common Stock in the offering giving rise to a claim for indemnification.
7.3 Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is judicially determined to be unavailable to an indemnified person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified person hereunder, each party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expense relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
7.4 Defense of Action . Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
7.5 Remedies Non Exclusive . The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
