page(s). This approach may only be used where the cover page item or items provide all the
disclosure required by the schedule item. Moreover, such a use of a cover page item will result in
the item becoming a part of the schedule and accordingly being considered as filed for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section of the Act. |
| Reporting persons may comply with their cover page filing requirements by filing either completed
copies of the blank forms available from the Commission, printed or typed facsimiles, or computer

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13D

Under Sections 13(d) and 23 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Commission is authorized to solicit the information required to be supplied by this schedule by certain security holders of certain issuers.

Disclosure of the information specified in this schedule is mandatory, except for I.R.S. identification numbers, disclosure of which is voluntary. The information will be used for the primary purpose of determining and disclosing the holdings of certain beneficial owners of certain equity securities. This statement will be made a matter of public record. Therefore, any information given will be available for inspection by any member of the public.

Because of the public nature of the information, the Commission can utilize it for a variety of purposes, including referral to other governmental authorities or securities self-regulatory organizations for investigatory purposes or in connection with litigation involving the Federal securities laws or other civil, criminal or regulatory statutes or provisions. I.R.S. identification numbers, if furnished, will assist the Commission in identifying security holders and, therefore, in promptly processing statements of beneficial ownership of securities.

Failure to disclose the information requested by this schedule, except for I.R.S. identification numbers, may result in civil or criminal action against the persons involved for violation of the Federal securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder.

PAGEBREAK

Section 4.1(a) and in Section 4.1(c), no more than one Demand Registration may be requested in any six-month period. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 4.5) in connection with each Demand Registration. No request for a Demand Registration shall be permitted unless the Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Demand Registration have an expected market value of at least $50 million. A Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective, and any Registration shall not count as a Demand Registration unless the initiating Shareholder or Shareholders and other Shareholders are able to register and sell at least 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration.

(b) If the investment banker(s) or manager(s) of an offering pursuant to a Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such offering, exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such offering would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock, the Company shall include in the Registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be so sold, pro rata (or as may have otherwise been agreed among the Shareholders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration) among the respective Shareholders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by each such Shareholder; provided that if the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration is less than 75% of the aggregate number requested to be so included, the Shareholders of Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request, upon the affirmative vote of Shareholders holding at least 66% of such Registrable Securities, and, if such request is withdrawn, the Demand Registration shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration hereunder, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the withdrawn Registration. Any Persons who participate in Demand Registrations not at the Companys expense must pay their share of the Registration Expenses as provided in Section 4.5.

(c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months after the effective date of a Registration in which the Shareholders were given Piggyback Registration (as defined in Section 4.2) rights pursuant to Section 4.2. The Company may, not more than twice in any 12-month period, postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Board determines in good faith that (i) such postponement is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a matter the Board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company to be disclosed at such time, (ii) the Demand Registration would materially and adversely impact the Company or (iii) the Demand Registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock; provided , that in such event, the Shareholders of Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration shall be entitled, upon the affirmative vote of holders holding at least 66% of such Registrable Securities, to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, the Demand Registration shall not count as a permitted

Folio 8 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Demand Registration hereunder, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the withdrawn Registration; provided further , that upon the election of the Company and upon notice to the Shareholders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration, one such postponement may be extended to not more than 120 days at the sole discretion of the Company. In addition, if any request for a Demand Registration is delivered at a time when the Company is planning to file a registration statement with respect to an underwritten primary offering of Common Stock, the Company may require the Shareholders to postpone a request for Demand Registration until the expiration of the 180-day period following the effective date of such registration.

4.6 Indemnification . The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Shareholder, its officers, directors and Affiliates and each Person who controls such Shareholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable blue sky laws, except insofar as the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Shareholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Shareholder expressly for use therein or caused by such Shareholders failure to deliver to such Shareholders immediate purchaser a copy of the registration statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall

Folio 13 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Shareholders.

(a) In connection with any registration statement in which a Shareholder is participating, each such Shareholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or Prospectus and shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers, directors and Affiliates, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Shareholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Shareholder expressly for use therein or caused by such Shareholders failure to deliver to such Shareholders immediate purchaser a copy of the registration statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of the same; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Shareholders and the liability of each such Shareholder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such Shareholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(b) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (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 partys reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall 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 there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder.

(c) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

Folio 14 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

(d) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to this Section 4.6 is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but is held by a court to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses 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 other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified Person on the other 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 by the indemnified party, and by such partys relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any selling Shareholder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by such Shareholder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under this Section 4.6 had been available under the circumstances.

4.7 Participation in Underwritten Registrations . No Person may participate in any Registration hereunder which is underwritten or a block trade unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Persons securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other customary documents required under the terms of such arrangements.

4.8 Transfer of Registration Rights .

The Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses of any transferee or assignee pursuant to this Section 4.8 to the same extent as the original transferor.
