Agreement shall be a "Permitted Transferee."

     3. Piggyback Registration Rights.

          3.1. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement under
the Securities Act with respect to any proposed public offering of Common Stock
by the Company or by any holders of Common Stock (i) prior to the Registration
Period, and the Company reasonably expects such registration statement to be
declared effective during the Registration Period, or (ii) during the
Registration Period, the Company shall, not later than 30 days prior to the
proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the SEC under the
Securities Act, give written notice (a "Filing Notice") of the proposed filing
to each Holder, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed
registration and distribution (including those jurisdictions where registration
under the securities or blue sky laws is intended). During the Registration
Period, each Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company (which notice
shall specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such Registration Statement, the
identity of the proposed seller thereof, and a general description of the manner
in which such person intends to offer and sell such Registrable Securities)
given within 15 days after receipt of the Filing Notice from the Company, to
have any or all of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder included in
such Registration Statement, and the Company shall include such Registrable
Securities in such Registration Statement. If the Managing Underwriter(s) or
Underwriters (in the case of an underwritten registration) or the Company (in
the case of a non-underwritten registration covering a primary


                                       4

<PAGE>

offering by the Company) should reasonably object to the exercise of the
Piggyback Registration Rights with respect to such Registration Statement, then
in the discretion of the Company, either:

               (a) the Registrable Securities of the Selling Holders shall
          nevertheless be included in such Registration Statement subject to the
          condition that the Selling Holders may not offer or sell their
          Registrable Securities included therein for a period of up to 90 days
          after the initial effective date of such Registration Statement,
          whereupon the Company shall be obligated to file one or more
          post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement to permit the
          lawful offer and sale of such Registrable Securities for a reasonable
          period thereafter beginning at the end of such lock-up period and
          continuing for such period, not exceeding 120 days, as may be
          necessary for the Selling Holders, Underwriters and selling agents to
          dispose of such Registrable Securities; or

               (b) if the Managing Underwriter(s) (in the case of an
          underwritten registration) or the Company (in the case of a
          non-underwritten registration covering a primary offering by the
          Company) should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such
          Registrable Securities, notwithstanding the provisions of the
          preceding clause (a), would adversely affect the offering contemplated
          in such Registration Statement, and based on such determination
          recommends including in such Registration Statement fewer or none of
          the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) if the Managing
          Underwriter(s) or the Company, as applicable, recommends the inclusion
          of fewer Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities
          of the Holders included in such Registration Statement shall be
          reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of
          Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration),
          or (y) if the Managing Underwriter(s) or the Company, as applicable,
          recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities, none
          of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such
          Registration Statement.

          3.2. Unless otherwise required by law, rule or regulation, if
Registrable Securities owned by Holders who have made the election provided in
Section 3.1 are included in such Registration Statement, the Company shall bear
and pay all fees, costs, and expenses incident to such inclusion, including,
without limitation, registration fees, exchange listing fees and expenses, legal
fees of Company counsel (including blue sky counsel), printing costs and costs
of any regular audits or accounting fees. Each Selling Holder shall pay all
underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to its Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement, as well as fees or
disbursements of counsel, accountants or other advisors for the Selling Holder
and all internal overhead and other expenses of the Selling Holder or transfer
taxes.

          3.3. The rights of the Holders under this Section 3 are solely
piggyback in nature, and nothing in this Section 3 shall prevent the Company
from reversing a decision to file a Registration Statement or from withdrawing
any such Registration Statement before it has become effective.


                                       5

<PAGE>

          3.4. The Holders shall have the right, at any time during the
Registration Period, to exercise their Piggyback Registration Rights pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 3 on any number of occasions that the Company
shall determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act.

          3.5. The Piggyback Registration Rights granted pursuant to this
Section 3 shall not apply to (a) a registration relating solely to employee
stock option, purchase or other employee plans, (b) a registration related
solely to a dividend or distribution reinvestment plan or (c) a registration on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor Forms thereto.

          3.6. In the event that there is a reduction in the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement to which
Holders have exercised Piggyback Registration Rights, the Company shall so
advise all Holders participating that the number of Registrable Securities that
may be included in the registration shall be reduced pro rata among such Holders
(based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
registration); provided, however, that the percentage of the reduction of such
Registrable Securities shall be no greater than the percentage reduction of
securities of other selling securityholders who also have exercised piggyback
registration rights pursuant to agreements other than this Agreement, as such
percentage reductions shall be determined in the good faith judgment of the
Company, which determination shall be based on the advice of the Managing
Underwriter of the offering to the extent the offering is an underwritten
offering. If Holders have exercised Piggyback Registration Rights with respect
to a Registration Statement which is being filed as a result of the exercise of
demand registration rights by other securityholders, the securityholders
exercising their demand registration rights shall have the right, in the event
of any reduction of securities covered by such Registration Statement, to have
all of their registrable securities included in such Registration Statement
before inclusion of any Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their
Piggyback Registration Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any
reduction of the number of Registrable Securities of Holders exercising
Piggyback Registration Rights hereunder, the Company shall first exclude
securities held by persons not having any contractual registration rights.

          3.7. The underwriter in any registration referred to in this Section 3
shall be chosen by the Company in its sole discretion, except in the case of any
registration made at the request of a third party holding demand registration
rights, in which case the underwriter will be selected as provided in any
agreement relating to such demand registration rights.

     4. Demand Registration Rights.

          4.1. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the Piggyback Registration
Rights set forth under Section 3, at any time after the Effective Time (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) and during the Registration Period, any Holder
may deliver to the Company a written request (a "Demand Registration Request")
that the Company register any or all of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Demanding Holders (as hereinafter defined) (provided that the aggregate offering
price of all such Registrable Securities actually included in the Demand
Registration equals $10.0 million or more), and any other Holders that may elect
to be included pursuant to Section 4.2, under the Securities Act and the state
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction designated by such Selling
Holders (subject to Section 9), subject to the provisions


                                       6

<PAGE>

of this Section 4. The requisite Holders making such demand are sometimes
referred to herein as the "Demanding Holders." The Company shall, as soon as
practicable following the Demand Registration Request, prepare and file a
Registration Statement (on the then appropriate form or, if more than one form
is available, on the appropriate form selected by the Company) with the SEC
under the Securities Act, covering such number of the Registrable Securities as
the Selling Holders request to be included in such Registration Statement and to
take all necessary steps to have such Registrable Securities qualified for sale
under state securities or blue sky laws. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to file such Registration Statement no later than 90
days following the Demand Registration Request. Further, the Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared
effective (within the meaning of the Securities Act) by the SEC as soon as
practicable thereafter and shall take all necessary action (including, if
required, the filing of any supplements or post-effective amendments to such
Registration Statement) to keep such Registration Statement effective to permit
the lawful sale of such Registrable Securities included thereunder for the
period set forth in Section 6, subject, however, to the further terms and
conditions hereof.

          4.2. No later than 10 days after the receipt of the Demand
Registration Request, the Company shall notify all Holders who have not joined
in such request of the proposed filing, and such Holders may, if they desire to
sell any Registrable Securities owned by them, by notice in writing to the
Company given within 15 days after receipt of such notice from the Company,
elect to have all or any portion of their Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement.

          4.3. The Holders, in the aggregate, may only exercise the Demand
Registration Rights granted pursuant to this Section 4 two times. The Company
shall only be required to file one Registration Statement (as distinguished from
supplements or pre-effective or post-effective amendments thereto) in response
to the exercise by the Demanding Holders of their Demand Registration Rights
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.

          4.4. In the event that preparation of a Registration Statement is
commenced by the Company in response to the exercise by the Demanding Holders of
the Demand Registration Right, but such Registration Statement is not filed with
the SEC, either at the request of the Company or at the request of the Demanding
Holders, for any reason, the Demanding Holders shall not be deemed to have
exercised a Demand Registration Right pursuant to this Section 4, except that,
if such Registration Statement is not filed after the commencement of
preparation thereof at the request of the Demanding Holders, then the Selling
Holders whose Registrable Securities were proposed to be included therein shall
be required to bear the fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the
preparation thereof.

          4.5. In the event that any Registration Statement filed by the Company
with the SEC pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 is withdrawn prior to
the completion of the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
included thereunder, then the following provisions, whichever are applicable,
shall govern:

               (a) If such withdrawal is effected at the request of the Company
          for any reason other than the failure of all the Selling Holders to
          comply with their obligations hereunder with respect to such
          registration, then the filing thereof by


                                       7

<PAGE>

          the Company shall be excluded in determining whether the Holders have
          exercised their Demand Registration Rights hereunder with respect to
          the filing of such Registration Statement.

               (b) If such withdrawal is effected at the request of the Selling
          Holders, then the filing thereof by the Company shall be deemed an
          exercise of a Demand Registration Right with respect to the filing of
          such Registration Statement.

          4.6. The Company shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses
incident to such Registration Statement and incident to keeping it effective and
in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, rules, and regulations
for the period set forth in Section 6 (including, without limitation,
registration fees, blue sky qualification fees (subject to Section 9), exchange
listing fees and expenses, legal fees of Company counsel (including blue sky
counsel), printing costs, costs of any regular audits and accounting fees). Each
Selling Holder shall pay fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and
other advisors for the Selling Holder and any underwriting discounts and
commissions with respect to its Registrable Securities and any internal,
overhead and other expenses of the Selling Holders and transfer taxes.

          4.7. Whenever a decision or election is required to be made hereunder
by the Demanding Holders or the Selling Holders, such decision or election shall
be made by a vote of holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities owned
by such Demanding Holders or Selling Holders, as the case may be.

          4.8. (a) If the Managing Underwriter(s) in the case of an underwritten
registration should reasonably determine that the inclusion of all Registrable
Securities requested to be included in any Registration Statement would
materially and adversely affect the offering contemplated in a Registration
Statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such
Registration Statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders, then (x) if the Managing Underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of
fewer Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities of the
Holders included in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among
such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in the registration), or (y) if the Managing Underwriter(s) recommends
the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities, none of the Registrable
Securities of the Holders shall be included in such Registration Statement (and
the request for registration shall not count for purposes of Section 4.3).

               (b) In the event that there is a reduction in the number of
          Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement to
          which Holders have exercised Demand Registration Rights, the Company
          shall so advise all Holders participating that the number of
          Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration shall
          be reduced pro rata among such Holders (based on the number of
          Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration);
          provided, however, that the percentage of the reduction of such
          Registrable Securities shall be no greater than the percentage
          reduction of securities of other selling securityholders who also have
          exercised demand registration rights pursuant to agreements other than
          this Agreement, as such percentage reductions shall be


                                       8

<PAGE>

          determined in the good faith judgment of the Company based on the
          advice of the Managing Underwriter of the offering in the case of any
          underwritten offering.

               (c) In the event that there is a limitation on the number of
          securities which may be covered by such Registration Statement, the
          Selling Holders shall have the right, with respect to any such
          Registration Statement filed as a result of their Demand Registration
          Request, to include their Registrable Securities prior to the
          inclusion of the Company (in the case of any inclusion of shares of
          Common Stock for sale for its own account) and any other
          securityholder exercising piggyback registration rights.

          4.9 The Company shall have the right, with respect to any Registration
Statement to be filed as a result of a Demand Registration Request, to determine
whether such registration shall be underwritten or not and to select, subject to
the consent of the Selling Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), any such underwriter.

     5. Information to be Furnished. In the event any of the Registrable
Securities are to be included in a Registration Statement under Sections 3 or 4,
the Selling Holders and the Company shall furnish the following information and
documents:

          5.1. The Selling Holders shall furnish to the Company all information
required by the Securities Act to be furnished by sellers of securities for
inclusion in the Registration Statement, together with all such other
information which the Selling Holders have or can reasonably obtain and which
may reasonably be required by the Company in order to have such Registration
Statement become effective and such Registrable Securities qualified for sale
under applicable state securities laws.

          5.2. The Company, before filing a Registration Statement, amendment or
supplement thereto (including all exhibits), will furnish copies of such
documents to legal counsel selected by the Selling Holders. In addition, the
Company shall make available for inspection by any Selling Holder or by any
Underwriter, attorney or other agent of any Selling Holder or Underwriter all
information reasonably requested by such persons. All non-publicly available
information provided to any Selling Holder, Underwriter or any attorney or agent
of any Selling Holder or Underwriter shall be kept strictly confidential by such
Selling Holder, Underwriter or attorney or agent of such Selling Holder or
Underwriter so long as such information remains nonpublic.

          5.3. The Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder and each
Selling Holder shall promptly notify the Company, upon discovery by the Company
or such Selling Holder, as the case may be, of the occurrence of any event which
renders any Prospectus then being circulated among prospective purchasers
misleading because such Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and the
Company will amend or supplement the Prospectus so that it does not contain any
material misstatements or omissions and deliver the number of copies of such
amendments or


                                       9

<PAGE>

supplements to each Selling Holder as each Selling Holder may reasonably
request. Until such time as such Prospectus is so amended or supplemented, each
Selling Holder shall cease use thereof.

     6. Registration to Be Kept Effective. In connection with any registration
of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, at its
expense, keep effective and maintain such registration and any related
qualification of Registrable Securities under state securities laws for such
period not exceeding 120 days or such shorter period as may be necessary for the
Selling Holders, Underwriters and selling agents to dispose of such Registrable
Securities, from time to time to amend or supplement the Prospectus used in
connection therewith to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws, and
to furnish to such Selling Holders such number of copies of the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof, and any amendment or
supplement thereto as such Selling Holders may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the registered Registrable Securities.

     7. Conditions to Company's Obligations. The obligations of the Company to
cause the Registrable Securities owned by the Holders to be registered under the
Securities Act are subject to each of the following limitations, conditions and
qualifications:

               (a) The Company shall not be required to fulfill any registration
          obligations under this Agreement, including any obligation with
          respect to the Stockholders' Piggyback Registration Rights or the
          Demand Registration Rights, until one hundred eighty (180) days after
          such time as there has been a Listing.

               (b) The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable
          period of time not to exceed four (4) months the filing of any
          Registration Statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by
          it pursuant to Section 4, if, in the good faith opinion of the
          Company's Board of Directors, the Company determines that such
          registration and offering would materially interfere with any proposal
          or plan to engage in any financing, acquisition, corporate
          reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company or
          any of its subsidiaries, and the Company promptly gives the Holders
          written notice including a general explanation of such determination;
          provided that the Company shall not delay such action pursuant to this
          sentence more that once in any 12-month period. If the Company shall
          so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Selling
          Holders shall have the right to withdraw the Demand Registration
          Request by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after
          receipt of the notice of postponement (and, in the event of such
          withdrawal, such Demand Registration Request shall not be counted for
          purposes of the Demand Registration Requests to which the Holders are
          entitled pursuant to Section 4.3).

               (c) The Company shall not be required to file any Registration
          Statement pursuant to this Agreement in connection with a Demand
          Registration Request made less than 90 days after the effective date
          of any Registration Statement filed by the Company (other than a
          registration filed on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto.


                                       10

<PAGE>

               (d) The Company may require, as a condition to fulfilling its
          obligations to register the Registrable Securities under Sections 3 or
          4, that the Selling Holders execute reasonable and customary
          indemnification agreements for the benefit of the Underwriters of the
          registration; provided, however, a Selling Holder shall not be
          required to indemnify the Underwriters except with respect to Selling
          Holder information.

               (e) The Company shall not be required to fulfill any registration
          obligations under this Agreement, if the Company provides the Holders
          with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to such Holders
          stating that the Holders are free to sell in the manner proposed by
          them all of the Registrable Securities that they desired to register
          without registering such Registrable Securities or such Registrable
          Securities can be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or
          otherwise without registration in the open market in compliance with
          the Securities Act.

               (f) The Company shall not be obligated to file any Registration
          Statement pursuant to this Agreement in connection with a Demand
          Registration Request at any time if the Company would be required to
          include financial statements audited as of any date other than the end
          of its fiscal year, unless the Selling Holder(s) agree to pay the cost
          of any such additional audit.

     8. Exchange Listing. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a Registration Statement under Sections 3 or 4, the Company will exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or listed on any other exchange(s) on
which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted in any U.S.
inter-dealer quotation system in which the shares of Common Stock are then
quoted.

     9. Registration Under State Securities Laws. The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify any Registrable
Securities included in a Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 3 or 4
under state "blue sky" or similar securities laws in such jurisdictions as the
Selling Holders reasonably request and to take such other action as may be
reasonably necessary to enable the Selling Holders to sell their shares of
Registrable Securities in the jurisdictions where such registration or
qualification was made, provided that the Company shall not be required to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to
execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it
has not executed such a consent.

     10. Indemnification.

          10.1. The Company shall indemnify and hold each Selling Holder, its
partners, officers, directors and agents (including sales agents and
Underwriters) and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Selling Holder or any of the foregoing,
harmless to the maximum extent permitted by law, from and against any loss,
claim, liability, damage or expense (including reasonably documented attorneys'
fees and disbursements of only one firm of counsel selected by the Selling
Holders) resulting from a


                                       11

<PAGE>

claim that any Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, which includes Registrable Securities to be sold by such
Selling Holder, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, unless such
claim is based upon Selling Holder Information or resulting from the Selling
Holder's failure to deliver a current Prospectus as required under the
Securities Act; and each such Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person, if any, who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the
Company against any loss, claim, liability, damage or expense (including
reasonably documented attorneys' fees and disbursements) resulting from any such
claim relating to Selling Holder Information.

          10.2. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
under this Section 10 or otherwise to the extent such omission did not actually
and materially prejudice the indemnifying party. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in
any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there exists a
conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and any indemnified party or
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to, and inconsistent or in
conflict with, those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party
or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, (ii)
the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of
the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable,
such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such
clause (i) or (iii). No settlement of an action against any party under this
Section 10 shall bind the other party unless such other party agrees in writing
to the terms of such settlement (which agreement will not be unreasonably
withheld).


                                       12

<PAGE>

          10.3. The obligation of the indemnifying party to indemnify the
indemnified party under this Section 10 shall, in each case, be in addition to
any liability which the indemnifying party may otherwise have hereunder or
otherwise at law or in equity.

          10.4. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 from the
indemnifying party is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any
reasons is held to be unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect
of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative faults of the indemnifying
party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such indemnifying
party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying
party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, any legal or other fees
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any
investigation or proceeding.

          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 10.4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person.

     11. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and that it shall
take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell the Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any
similar rule or regulation adopted by the SEC. The Company shall, upon the
request of any holder of Registrable Securities, deliver to such Holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

     12. Miscellaneous.

          12.1. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to Section 12.2, this Agreement
may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by the Company and each of
the Stockholders, and, to the extent a permitted transfer has occurred pursuant
to Section 2, its Permitted Transferee.


                                       13

<PAGE>

          12.2. Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the next sentence of this
Section 12.2, there shall be no third party beneficiaries of the rights and
benefits of this Agreement, which rights and benefits shall accrue only to the
benefit of the parties hereto. Any Permitted Transferee shall be a third party
beneficiary or intended beneficiary to the agreement made hereunder by a
Stockholder so long as such transfer of rights under this Agreement to the
Permitted Transferee is made in compliance with Section 12.6.

          12.3. No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on
the Company's or the Holders' part, of any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

          12.4. Survival of Agreements. All agreements, representations and
warranties contained herein or made in writing by or on behalf of the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement.

          12.5. Limitation of Registration Rights. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall create any obligation on behalf of the Company to register under
the Securities Act any securities which are not shares of Common Stock.

          12.6. Binding Effect and Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holders and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Holder's registration rights granted hereunder shall be
transferable to and exercised by any Permitted Transferee of Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that no Holder may transfer or assign this
Agreement or any of its rights hereunder unless (a) such transfer or assignment
is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (b) such transferee
or assignee (other than the Company) agrees in writing to be bound by this
Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement (other than, with respect to the Lock-Up
Agreement, Permitted Transferees of Five Arrows), and (c) the Company is given
prior written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment, stating the
name and address of the transferee or assignee, and identifying the Registrable
Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned.

          12.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Lock-Up
Agreement, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between
the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and supersedes any
prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties,
written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to such subject matter.

          12.8. Separability of Provisions. In case any provision of this
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

          12.9. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be by telecopy, facsimile
transmission (confirmed by U.S.

Dear _________________:

     This Lock-Up Letter Agreement is being delivered to you pursuant to that
certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") by

Securities II L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, and James M. Seneff,

Griswold, Barry A. N. Bloom and Marcel Verbaas (collectively, the

"Company"). Capitalized terms used in this letter but not defined have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Rights Agreement.

     1. Lock-Up and Transfer Limitation. The undersigned Stockholder shall not
directly or indirectly Transfer (as defined in paragraph 3 of this letter
agreement), contract or agree to Transfer or publicly announce any intention to
Transfer any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or warrants, options or
other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock it may now
or later own of record or beneficially (collectively, "Stockholder Shares") at
any time prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the date of the Registration
Rights Agreement. In addition, the undersigned Stockholder shall not directly or
indirectly Transfer, contract or agree to Transfer or publicly announce any
intention to Transfer any Stockholder Shares in excess of 50% of the total
number of its Common Shares received under the Merger Agreement between such six

Registration Rights Agreement. The lock-up and transfer limitations described in
this paragraph 1 are in addition to any other restrictions on transfer of the
Stockholder Shares that may apply under the Registration Rights Agreement, the

Stockholders, the Company and CNL Hotels & Resorts Acquisition, LLC (the "Pledge
Agreement"), or this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.

     2. General Holdback. In addition to and not in lieu of the restrictions on
Transfer of the Stockholder Shares set forth in paragraph 1 above, the
undersigned Stockholder shall not, for a period of 14 days prior to and 90 days

longer periods as the applicable underwriter or the Company may reasonably
request) (collectively, the "Holdback Period"), directly or indirectly Transfer,
contract or agree to Transfer or publicly announce any intention to Transfer any
Stockholder Shares, any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock and any warrants or other rights to
purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock. The foregoing sentence
shall not apply to (a) the registration of or sale of any Common Stock pursuant
to a Registration Statement filed in accordance with the Registration Rights
Agreement, (b) bona fide gifts of such securities, provided that the recipient
thereof agrees in writing with the underwriters or the Company, as applicable,
to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement or (c) dispositions to any
trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned Stockholder and/or
the immediate family of the undersigned Stockholder, provided that the trustee
agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by the terms of this letter
agreement and otherwise if a permitted transferee of the subject securities. If
(i) the Company issues an earnings release or material news, or a material event
relating to the Company occurs, during the last 17 days of the Holdback Period,
or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, the Company announces
that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the
last day of the Holdback Period, the restrictions imposed by this paragraph 2
shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on
the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or
material event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if any
research published or distributed by any underwriter of the Company would be
compliant under Rule 139 of the Securities Act and the Company's securities are
actively traded as defined in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange
Act. The Stockholders hereby authorize the Company during the term of this
letter agreement to cause any transfer agent for the Stockholder Shares to
decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock
register and other records relating to, the Stockholder Shares for which the
Stockholders are the record holders and, in the case of the Stockholder Shares
for which the Stockholders are the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees
during the term of this letter agreement to cause the record holder to cause the
relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer
restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such
Stockholder Shares, in each case if the Company reasonably determines in good
faith that such Transfer would, if made, be inconsistent with paragraph 1 of
this letter agreement.

     3. Definition of Transfer. For all purposes of this letter agreement,
"Transfer" shall mean (i) any sale, offer to sell, transfer, assignment,
exchange, redemption, hypothecation, grant of an option to purchase or acquire
and any other disposition of any securities; (ii) establishing or increasing a
put equivalent position or liquidating or decreasing a call equivalent position
within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to
any securities; and (iii) entering into any swap, derivative or other
transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any
economic consequences of ownership of any securities, whether any such
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or other securities,
in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the term "Transfer" shall not mean
any (a) Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement or (b) bona fide pledge, assignment or grant of a
security interest in any of the Stockholder Shares or any other bona fide
pledge, assignment or grant of a security interest in any of the Stockholder
Shares.
