          (a)  The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Company that:  (i) the Purchaser, taking into account the personnel and
resources it can practically bring to bear on the purchase of the Shares
contemplated hereby, is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making,
and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in shares
presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the

in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares; (ii) the Purchaser is
acquiring the number of Shares set forth in Section 2 above in the ordinary
course of its business and for its own account for investment (as defined for
purposes of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976 and the
regulations thereunder) only and with no present intention of distributing any
of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons
regarding the distribution of such Shares (this representation and warranty not
limiting the Purchaser's right to sell in the future); (iii) the Purchaser will
not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose
of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge
of) any of the Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder; (iv) the Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the

Transfer Questionnaire, both attached hereto as Appendix I, for use in
preparation of the registration statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 7.1 (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") and the answers thereto are true and
correct to the best knowledge of the Purchaser as of the date hereof and will be
true and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement
(provided that the Purchaser shall be entitled to update such information by
providing notice thereof to the Company prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement); (v) the Purchaser has, in connection with its decision

caused to be completed the Investor Qualification Questionnaire attached hereto
as Appendix II.

          (b)  The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company as follows:  (i)
prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement (the "EFFECTIVE
DATE"), the Purchaser shall not transfer any Shares except in compliance with
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any
transferee of Shares prior to the Effective Date shall agree in advance in a
writing acceptable to the Company to be subject to all of the provision of this
Agreement with respect to the Shares; and (ii) commencing as of the Effective
Date, the Purchaser shall not make any sale of the Shares without effectively
causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the


                                       4.
<PAGE>

Securities Act to be satisfied, and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
on and after the Effective Date, such Shares are not transferable on the books
of the Company unless the certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing
the Shares is accompanied by a separate purchaser's certificate:  (i) in the
form of Appendix III hereto, (ii) executed by the Purchaser or by an officer of,
or other authorized person designated by, the Purchaser, and (iii) to the effect
that (A) the Shares have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement
and (B) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.
The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company
must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been
filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION"), or until such time as the Company has filed an
appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, which suspension shall endure for such period as deemed
necessary by the Company upon advice of counsel.  The Purchaser hereby covenants
that it will not sell any Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period
commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser notice of the
suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company
gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales
pursuant to said prospectus.  The Purchaser further covenants to notify the
Company promptly of the sale of all of its Shares.

          (c)  The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants
with, the Company that (i) the Purchaser has full right, power, authority and
capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) upon the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a
valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and
contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as
the indemnification agreements of the Purchaser in Section 7.3 hereof may be
legally unenforceable.

     6.   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.
Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and
the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares delivered pursuant
hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the
Purchaser of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor.

     7.   REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

     7.1  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES AND EXPENSES.  The Company shall:

          (a)  within 30 days following the Closing, prepare and file with the
Commission a Registration Statement in order to register with the Commission the
sale of Shares by the Purchaser from time to time through the automated
quotation system of the Nasdaq National Market or the facilities of any national
securities exchange on which the Company's common stock is then traded or in
privately negotiated transactions;

          (b)  use its best efforts, subject to the receipt of necessary
information from the Purchasers, to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective within 60 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the
Company;

          (c)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for a
period of three years following the Closing or, if earlier, until all of the
Shares have been sold pursuant thereto;

          (d)  furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Shares registered
under the Registration Statement such number of copies of prospectuses and
preliminary prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any
of the Shares by the Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the obligation of the
Company to deliver copies of prospectuses or preliminary prospectuses to the
Purchaser shall be subject to the receipt by the Company of reasonable
assurances from the Purchaser that the Purchaser will comply with the applicable
provisions of the Securities Act and of such other securities or blue sky laws
as may be applicable in connection with any use of such prospectuses or
preliminary prospectuses;

          (e)  file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky
clearance in states specified in writing by the Purchaser; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to
service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or
has not so consented; and

          (f)  bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs
(a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant
to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel
or other advisers to the Purchaser or the Other Purchasers.

     7.2  TRANSFER OF SHARES AFTER REGISTRATION.  The Purchaser agrees that it
will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the
Shares that


                                       6.
<PAGE>

would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as
contemplated in Section 7.1 and thereafter pursuant to Rule 144 (including Rule
144(k)) and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or
its Plan of Distribution.

     7.3  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  the term "SELLING SHAREHOLDER" shall mean the Purchaser;

          (b)  the term "REGISTRATION STATEMENT" shall include any final
prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the
Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1; and

          (c)  the term "UNTRUE STATEMENT" shall include any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.

     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder
from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such
Selling Shareholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise)
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement on the
effective date thereof, or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill
any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will
reimburse such Selling Shareholder for any reasonable legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such
action, proceeding or claim; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration
Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder specifically for use
in preparation of the Registration Statement, or the failure of such Selling
Shareholder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section
5(b) or 7.2 hereof respecting sale of the Shares or any statement or omission in
any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered
to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

     The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement
and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or
controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise),
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or


                                       7.
<PAGE>

liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are
based upon, any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in
Section 5(b) or 7.2 hereof respecting sale of the Shares, or any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement on the
Effective Date if such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser
specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the
Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling
person), as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding
or claim.  In no event shall the liability of the Purchaser hereunder be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by the Purchaser upon
the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

     Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or
the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought
against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified
person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the
commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated,
in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such
indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person
shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent it shall wish, to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified person.  After notice from the indemnifying person to such
indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such
indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the
defense thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if there exists or shall exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel
to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the
indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate
thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at
the expense of such indemnifying person; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no indemnifying
person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
counsel for all indemnified parties.

     7.4  TERMINATION OF CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS.  Notwithstanding anything
stated herein to the contrary, the conditions precedent imposed by Section 5 or
this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate
as to any particular number of the Shares when such Shares shall have been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed
of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the
Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that
such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.



                                       8.
