statement, (ii) such Registrable Stock is sold by a person in

be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in
the form set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. A certificate

registration under the Securities Act or the transfer of such
securities is permitted under the provisions of Regulation D,
Rule 144(k) or Rule 144A (or any rule permitting public
sale without registration under the Securities Act).
3. Registration Rights . Upon the written request of Purchaser to the
Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on an
applicable form, signed, pursuant to Section 6(a) of the
Securities Act, by the officers and directors of the Company, with
respect to the Registrable Stock. If the Company shall fail to
register the shares of Registrable Stock, the Company shall deliver
the unregistered shares of Registrable Stock to the Purchaser and
such shares may be sold pursuant to and subject to the requirements
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company's delivery of the
unregistered shares shall be the Purchaser's sole remedy for any
failure by the Company to register shares pursuant to this Section
3. In connection with this Section 3, the Company
shall:
(a) cause such registration statement to become
effective on or before the three-month anniversary of the Demand
Date and to remain effective through and including the earlier of
(i) the time when all of the Registrable Stock has been sold
pursuant to such registration statement or (ii) the time when
all of the Holders of the Registrable Stock can sell all of the
Registrable Stock pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar
provision then in force, but not Rule 144A) under the
Securities Act without registration under the Securities
Act.
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement, signed,
pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Securities Act, by the
officers and directors of the Company, and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Stock covered by such registration
statement;
(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies
of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus and any amendments or
supplements thereto) in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and such other documents and information as they may
reasonably request;
(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or
qualify the Registrable Stock covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States and Puerto Rico as required
by law for the distribution of the Registrable Stock covered by the
registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to qualify to do business in or to file a general consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for
the requirements of this paragraph (d) be obligated to do so;
and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to
qualify such Registrable Stock in any jurisdiction in which the
securities regulatory authority requires that any Holder submit any
shares of its Registrable Stock to the terms, provisions and
restrictions of any escrow, lockup or similar agreement(s) for
consent to sell Registrable Stock in such jurisdiction unless such
Holder agrees to do so;
(e) promptly notify each Holder for whom such
Registrable Stock is covered by such registration statement, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of
any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of
such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to Holders of such securities, such prospectus shall not
include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were made;
(f) enter into customary agreements and take such
other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Stock to be so
included in the registration statement;
(g) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission;
(h) use its reasonable best efforts to list the
Registrable Stock covered by such registration statement with any
securities exchange on which Common Stock is then listed;
and
(i) after the effectiveness of the registration
statement, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing the
Registrable Stock to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any
restrictive legends other than restrictive legends still required
to be imposed by the Note Purchase Agreement.
4. Suspension of Trading . Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall have the right at any time to require
that all Holders suspend further open market offers and sales of
Registrable Stock whenever, and for so long as, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company in good faith based upon the advice of
counsel satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Stock, there is in existence material undisclosed
information or events with respect to the Company (the "
Suspension Right ") such that the registration statement
would contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made. In the event the Company
exercises the Suspension Right, such suspension will continue for
such period of time reasonably necessary for disclosure to occur at
a time that is not materially detrimental to the Company or until
such time as the registration statement does not include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, each as determined in good faith by the Company.
The Company will promptly give the Holders notice, in a writing
signed by an executive officer of the Company, of any exercise of
the Suspension Right. The Company agrees to notify the Holders
promptly upon termination of the Suspension Right. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Holder be entitled to
exercise the Suspension Right for more than sixty calendar days in
any twelve-month period.
5. Furnish Information . It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this
Agreement that the Holders shall furnish to the Company
