accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management&#146;s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance
with management&#146;s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company&#146;s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared.

Company&#146;s controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K
under the Exchange Act for the Company&#146;s most recently ended fiscal quarter or
fiscal year-end (such date, the &#147;<B>Evaluation Date</B>&#148;). The Company presented
in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company&#146;s
internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K
under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company&#146;s knowledge, in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company&#146;s internal controls. The books, records
and accounts of the Company accurately and fairly reflect the transactions in,
and dispositions of, the assets of, and the results of operations of, the
Company. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system
of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the
applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. </P>

Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares pursuant to a bona
fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if
required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may
transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a

preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule

Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Shares subject to a pledge or
security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear
the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions

such Shares is then effective, or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferee is not an Affiliate of the
Company), or (iii) while such Shares are eligible for sale by the selling
Investor without volume restrictions under Rule 144. The Company agrees that
following the effective date of such registration statement or such other time
as legends are no longer required to be set forth on certificates representing
Shares under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no longer than ten Trading Days
following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company&#146;s transfer
agent of a certificate representing such Shares containing a restrictive legend,
deliver or instruct the Company&#146;s transfer agent to deliver to such Investor,

and Shares delivery being the <B>&#147;Share Delivery Date&#148;</B>) and (1) the Company

Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to the
Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other
Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in
concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no
other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making
its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such
Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing
its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an
additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges
that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents
for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. </P>
