review,  or (ii) the  initial  Registration  Statement  filed  hereunder  is not
declared  effective by the  Commission  on or before the 120th day following the
Closing  Date) by  reason of acts or  failure  to act by the  Company  (any such
breach or failure being  referred to as an "Event"),  and for purposes of clause
(i), the date on which such five (5)  business day period is exceeded,  and as a
result of any one or more  Events the  Registration  Statement  is not  declared
effective  on or before the 120th day  following  the Closing Date unless due to
comments by the Commission,  in writing,  specifically  addressing violations of

thereof but not of the structure of this  transaction  generally),  then, in any
such case,  as  liquidated  damages for the damages  suffered  therefrom  by the
Holder  including  damages  for  failure  of the  Registration  Statement  to be

declared  effective  by the 180th date  following  the  Closing  Date unless the
Company has been notified by the  Commission,  in writing,  that such failure to
declare the  Registration  Statement  effective is due to comments  specifically
addressing  violations of the Federal  securities  laws by the Holder or Holders
(including  the  identity  thereof  but not the  structure  of this  transaction
generally)  the Company  shall,  on the monthly  anniversary  of the date of the
Event, and on each monthly  anniversary thereof until the Event is cured, pay to
the Holders liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per calendar day from the
day  after  the date of the  Event  and  each day  thereafter  until  cured.  In
addition, in the event the Company does not file such Registration  Statement by
the 45th day following the Closing Date the Company shall, on the second monthly
anniversary of the Closing Date and on each monthly anniversary thereafter until
the Registration  Statement is filed, pay to the Holders  liquidated  damages in
the  aggregate  amount of $5,000 per  calendar  day from such 46th day up to but
excluding  the day on  which  the  Registration  Statement  is  filed  with  the
Commission.  In the event of such rescission provided in the Purchase Agreement,
he Company shall promptly withdraw the Registration Statement.

                  (d) The  Company  shall not  permit a  registration  statement
filed with the  Commission  covering any  securities of the Company issued after
the Closing Date which are

effective.   Each  such  registration  statement  should  contain  the  delaying
amendment  language  provided  in Rule 473 under the  Securities  Act, as may be
amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation  hereafter  adopted
by the  Commission  having  substantially  the same effect as such Rule 473. The
foregoing shall not apply to registration  statements on Form S-8 covering stock
option and/or stock purchase plans covering  shares issuable to employees of the
Company,  or any  registration  statement with respect to warrants  disclosed in
Schedule 6(b) of this Agreement.

has  been  notified  by the  Commission  that  such  event is due to the acts or
omissions of, or related to, the Holders.

Registration  Statement or Prospectus or any document  incorporated or deemed to
be  incorporated  therein by reference  untrue in any  material  respect or that
requires  any  revisions  to the  Registration  Statement,  Prospectus  or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration  Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue  statement of a material fact

make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

<PAGE>

including  financial  statements and schedules,  all documents  incorporated  or
deemed to be incorporated  therein by reference,  and all exhibits to the extent

Prospectus  and each  amendment  or  supplement  thereto by each of the  selling
Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the  Registrable  Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                  (h) Prior to any public  offering of  Registrable  Securities,
use its best  efforts  to  register  or qualify or  cooperate  with the  selling
Holders  and their  Special  Counsel  in  connection  with the  registration  or
qualification  (or exemption from such  registration or  qualification)  of such
Registrable  Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of such  jurisdictions  within  the  United  States as any  Holder  requests  in
writing,   to  keep  each  such  registration  or  qualification  (or  exemption
therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other
acts or  things  necessary  or  advisable  to  enable  the  disposition  in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement;
provided,  however,  that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction  where it is not then so qualified or to take
any action that would subject it to any tax in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject.

preparation and delivery of certificates  representing Registrable Securities to
be delivered to a transferee

                                       9
<PAGE>

pursuant to a Registration  Statement,  which certificates shall be free, to the
extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement,  of all restrictive  legends, and to
enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in
such names as any such Holders may request.

                  (j) Upon the occurrence of any event  contemplated  by Section
3(d)(vi), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment,
including  a  post-effective  amendment,  to  the  Registration  Statement  or a
supplement to the related  Prospectus or any document  incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated  therein by reference,  and file any other required  document so
that,  as  thereafter  delivered,  neither the  Registration  Statement nor such
Prospectus will contain an 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,  in light of the circumstances  under which they were made,
not misleading.

relating  to such  Registration  Statement  to be listed  on the New York  Stock
Exchange  ("NYSE")  or if not so listed,  on any other  stock  market or trading

"Subsequent Market") as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

<PAGE>

 (l)     Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

     (m) The Company may require each  selling  Holder to furnish to the Company
     such information regarding the distribution of such Registrable  Securities
     and the  beneficial  ownership  of Common  Stock held by such  Holder as is
     required by law to be  disclosed  in the  Registration  Statement,  and the
     Company may exclude from such  registration  the Registrable  Securities of
     any such Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a
     reasonable time after receiving such request. If the Registration Statement
     refers to any Holder by name or otherwise  as the holder of any  securities
     of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require by written
     advice  (if such  reference  to such  Holder  by name or  otherwise  is not
     required by the  Securities  Act or any  similar  Federal  statute  then in
     force) the  deletion of the  reference  to such Holder in any  amendment or
     supplement to the  Registration  Statement filed or prepared  subsequent to
     the time  that  such  reference  ceases  to be  required.

5.       Indemnification

                  (a)  Indemnification  by  the  Company.   The  Company  shall,
notwithstanding  any termination of this Agreement,  indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder,  its officers,  directors,  agents and  employees,  each Person who
controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section  20 of the  Exchange  Act) and the  officers,  directors,  agents and
employees of each such  controlling  Person and brokers acting on behalf of such
Holder  in the  sale  of the  Registrable  Securities,  to  the  fullest  extent
permitted  by  applicable  law,  from and against  any and all  losses,  claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation
and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees) and  expenses  (collectively,  "Losses"),  as
determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject
to appeal or review as  incurred,  arising  out of or  relating to any untrue or
alleged  untrue  statement  of a material  fact  contained  in the  Registration
Statement,  any  Prospectus  or any form of  prospectus  or in any  amendment or
supplement  thereto  or in any  preliminary  prospectus,  or  arising  out of or
relating to any omission or alleged  omission of a material  fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein (in the case of any
Prospectus  or form  of  prospectus  or  supplement  thereto,  in  light  of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,  except to the extent,
but only to the extent,  that (1) such untrue  statements or omissions are based
solely  upon  information  regarding  such  Holder  furnished  in writing to the
Company by such Holder  expressly  for use  therein,  or to the extent that such
information  relates  to  such  Holder  or such  Holder's  pro-posed  method  of
distribution of Registrable  Securities and was reviewed and expressly  approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement,  such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement  thereto
or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3(d)(ii)-(vi),  the use by such Holder of an outdated  or  defective  Prospectus
after the Company has  notified  such

                                       12
<PAGE>

Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to
the  receipt by such  Holder of the Advice  contemplated  in Section  6(e).  The
Company  shall  notify  the  Holders  promptly  of the  institution,  threat  or
assertion of any  Proceeding  of which the Company is aware in  connection  with
such indemnification.

                  (b) Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder shall,  severally
and not  jointly,  indemnify  and hold  harmless  the  Company,  its  directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors,  officers,  agents and employees of such controlling Persons,
to the fullest extent  permitted by applicable  law, from and against all Losses
as  determined  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  in a final  judgment not
subject  to appeal or review  arising  solely  out of or based  solely  upon any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Prospectus,  or any  form  of  prospectus,  or in any  amendment  or  supplement
thereto,  or  arising  solely  out of or based  solely  upon any  omission  of a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading to the extent,  but only to the extent,  that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by
such  Holder to the  Company  specifically  for  inclusion  in the  Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that such  information  relates to
such Holder or such Holder's  proposed  method of  distribution  of  Registrable
Securities  and was  reviewed and  expressly  approved in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of
Prospectus,  or in any  amendment or  supplement  thereto and, in the case of an
occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section  3(d)(ii)-(vi),  the use
by such  Holder of an  outdated or  defective  Prospectus  after the Company has
notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and
prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice  contemplated in Section 6(e).
In no event shall the  liability of any selling  Holder  hereunder be greater in
amount than the dollar  amount of the net proceeds  received by such Holder upon
the  sale of the  Registrable  Securities  giving  rise to such  indemnification
obligation.

                   (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding
shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity  hereunder
(an  "Indemnified  Party"),  such  Indemnified  Party shall promptly  notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying  Party") in writing, and
the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  assume  the  defense  thereof,   including  the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the

                                       13
<PAGE>

Indemnified  Party and the  payment  of all  reasonable  fees and  expenses
incurred in connection with defense thereof;  provided,  that the failure of any
Indemnified  Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying  Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,  except (and only)
to the  extent  that it  shall be  finally  determined  by a court of  competent
jurisdiction  (which  determination  is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have approximately and materially  adversely  prejudiced
the Indemnifying Party.

                  An Indemnified  Party shall have the right to employ  separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to cooperate in, but not control, the defense
thereof,  but the fees and expenses of such  counsel  shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed
in writing to pay such fees and expenses;  or (2) the  Indemnifying  Party shall
have  failed  promptly to assume the  defense of such  Proceeding  and to employ
counsel   reasonably   satisfactory  to  such  Indemnified  Party  in  any  such
Proceeding;  or (3) the named  parties  to any such  Proceeding  (including  any
impleaded  parties)  include both such  Indemnified  Party and the  Indemnifying
Party, and such Indemnified  Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel
that a  conflict  of  interest  is likely to exist if the same  counsel  were to
represent such Indemnified  Party and the Indemnifying  Party (in which case, if
such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
to employ  separate  counsel  at the  expense  of the  Indemnifying  Party,  the
Indemnifying  Party shall not have the right to assume the  defense  thereof and
such  counsel  shall  be  at  the  expense  of  the  Indemnifying   Party).  The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
effected  without its written  consent,  which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party,  unless such settlement (i) provides for
the  payment of money only and (ii)  includes an  unconditional  release of such
Indemnified  Party from all  liability on claims that are the subject  matter of
such proceeding.

                  The  Indemnified  Party shall  reasonably  cooperate with the
Indemnifying  Party in the defense thereof.

                   (d)     Contribution.   If  a  claim  for   indemnification
under  Section  5(a)  or  5(b)  is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by
reason of public policy or otherwise), then each

                                       14
<PAGE>

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,  in such  proportion as is  appropriate  to reflect the relative
fault of the  Indemnifying  Party and  Indemnified  Party in connection with the
actions,  statements  or omissions  that  resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault 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 of a material fact,
has been  taken  or 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, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result
of any Losses shall be deemed to include,  subject to the  limitations set forth
in Section 5(c), any reasonable  attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses
incurred  by such party in  connection  with any  Proceeding  to the extent such
party   would  have  been   indemnified   for  such  fees  or  expenses  if  the
indemnification  provided  for in this  Section was  available  to such party in
accordance with its terms.

                  The  parties  hereto  agree  that it  would  not be  just  and
equitable if  contribution  pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro
rata  allocation  or by any other method of  allocation  that does not take into
account the equitable  considerations  referred to in the immediately  preceding
paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall
be required to contribute,  in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount
by which the  proceeds  actually  received  by such  Holder from the sale of the
Registrable  Securities  subject  to the  Proceeding  exceeds  the amount of any
damages that such Holder has  otherwise  been  required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission.  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 who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  The indemnity and  contribution  agreements  contained in this
Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying  Parties may have
to the Indemnified Parties.

6.  Miscellaneous

                  (a) Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a
Holder,  of any of their  obligations  under this Agreement,  each Holder or the
Company,  as the case may be, in  addition to being  entitled  to  exercise  all
rights granted by law and under this Agreement,  including  recovery of damages,
will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and each Holder agree that monetary  damages would not provide  adequate
compensation  for any losses  incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any
action for specific  performance  in respect of such breach,  it shall waive the
defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                                       15
<PAGE>

                   (b) No Inconsistent  Agreements;  Other Registration  Rights.
The Company has not entered,  as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company on or
after the date of this  Agreement,  enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is  inconsistent  with the rights granted to the Holders in this
Agreement or otherwise  conflicts with the provisions  hereof.  Except as and to
the extent  specified in Schedule  6(b) hereto,  the Company has not  previously
entered into any agreement granting any registration  rights with respect to any
of its securities to any Person, which rights remain unexercised.

                  (c) No Piggyback on Registration  Statement.  Except as and to
the extent specified in Schedule 6(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its
security  holders (other than the Holders in such capacity  pursuant hereto) may
include  securities of the Company in the Registration  Statement other than the
Registrable  Securities,  and the Company  shall not after the date hereof enter
into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.  The
Holders  shall not have any rights  hereunder  to piggyback on or be included in
any other  Registration  Statement  with respect to the  Registrable  Securities
other then the Registration Statement to be filed hereunder.

                  (d) Compliance.  Each Holder  covenants and agrees that (i) it
will not sell any Registrable  Securities under the Registration Statement until
it has received  copies of the  Prospectus  as then amended or  supplemented  as
contemplated in Section 3(g) and notice from the Company that such  Registration
Statement and any  post-effective  amendments  thereto have become  effective as
contemplated  by  Section  3(j)  and  (ii) it and its  officers,  directors  and
Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities  Act as  applicable  to any of  them  in  connection  with  sales  of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.  Each Holder will
not take any  action  prohibited  by  Regulation  M under  the  Exchange  Act in
connection  with the  distribution of the  Registrable  Securities  contemplated
hereby.

                  (e)  Discontinued  Disposition.  Each  Holder  agrees  by  its
acquisition of such  Registrable  Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from
the Company of the  occurrence  of any event of the kind  described  in Sections
3(d)(ii),  3(d)(iii),  3(d)(iv), 3(d)(v) or 3(d)(vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue  disposition of such  Registrable  Securities under the Registration
Statement  until  such  Holder's  receipt  of the  copies  of  the  supplemented
Prospectus and/or amended Registration  Statement  contemplated by Section 3(j),
or until it is advised in writing (the  "Advice") by the Company that the use of
the  applicable  Prospectus  may be resumed,  and, in either case,  has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated  by reference in such  Prospectus or Registration  Statement.
The Company may provide  appropriate  stop orders to enforce the  provisions  of
this paragraph.

                   (f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including  the  provisions  of this  sentence,  may not be amended,  modified or
supplemented,  and waivers

                                       16

unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of
at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

                  (g) Notices.  Any and all notices or other  communications  or

facsimile  telephone  number  specified in this Section  prior to 5:30 p.m. (New

                  (h)      Successors  and  Assigns.  This  Agreement  shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns
of each of the  parties  and shall  inure to the  benefit  of each  Holder.  The
Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder

                                       17
<PAGE>

without  the prior  written  consent of the  Holders  of a majority  of the
Registrable  Securities  then  outstanding,  except the  Company  may assign its
rights or obligations  hereunder without the consent of the Holders in the event
of a merger in which the Company does not survive,  consolidation or sale of all
or  substantially  all of the  Company's  assets.  Each Holder may assign  their
respective  rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under
this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

                  (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of  counterparts,  each of  which  when so  executed  shall be  deemed  to be an
original  and, all of which taken  together  shall  constitute  one and the same
Agreement.   In  the  event  that  any   signature  is  delivered  by  facsimile
transmission,  such  signature  shall create a valid  binding  obligation of the
party  executing  (or on whose behalf such  signature is executed) the same with
the same  force and  effect as if such  facsimile  signature  were the  original
thereof.

                   (j) Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance  with the internal laws of the State of New
York without  regard to the  principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party
hereby  irrevocably  submits  to the  exclusive  jurisdiction  of the  state and
federal  courts sitting in the City of New York,  borough of Manhattan,  for the
adjudication  of any dispute  hereunder  or in  connection  herewith or with any
transaction  contemplated  hereby or  discussed  herein and  hereby  irrevocably
waives,  and agrees not to assert in any suit,  action or proceeding,  any claim
that it is not personally  subject to the  jurisdiction of any such court,  that
such suit,  action or  proceeding  is improper.  Each party  hereby  irrevocably
waives  personal  service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit,  action or  proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the
address in effect for  notices to it under this  Agreement  and agrees that such
service  shall  constitute  good and  sufficient  service of process  and notice
thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

                   (k)     Cumulative  Remedies.  Except as otherwise limited
herein,  the remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.

                  (l)  Severability.   If  any  term,  provision,   covenant  or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants  and  restrictions  set forth  herein  shall  remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto  shall use their  reasonable  efforts to find and  employ an  alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially  the same result as that contemplated
by such term,  provision,  covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the

                                       18

<PAGE>

intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

                  (m)      Headings.  The headings in this  Agreement  are for
convenience  of  reference  only and  shall not limit or  otherwise  affect  the
meaning hereof.


                   (n)  Independent  Nature of Holders'  Obligations and Rights.
The  obligations  of each  Holder  hereunder  are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in
any way for the  performance of the  obligations of any other Holder  hereunder.
Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document  delivered at any
closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto,  shall be
deemed to  constitute  the Holders as a  partnership,  an  association,  a joint
venture or any other kind of entity,  or create a  presumption  that the Holders
are in any way  acting  in  concert  with  respect  to such  obligations  or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Except as set forth herein whereby
the election of the Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable  Securities
shall bind all Holders, each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights,  including without  limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional
party in any proceeding for such purpose.

                                                                     Annex A
                              Plan of Distribution

         The  Selling  Stockholders  and any of their  pledgees,  assignees  and
successors-in-interest  may, from time to time,  sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of or as dividends on the Preferred
Stock or upon exercise of the Closing Warrants on any stock exchange,  market or
trading  facility  on which the shares  are  traded or in private  transactions.
These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The Selling  Stockholders may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares of Common Stock
except as limited by the Purchase Agreement:

-        ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
         broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

-        block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
         as  agent  but may  position  and  resell  a  portion  of the  block as
         principal to facilitate the transaction;

-        purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
         broker-dealer for its account;

-        an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
         exchange;

-        privately negotiated transactions;

-        short sales, except as limited by the Purchase Agreement;

-        broker-dealers  may agree with the Selling  Stockholders  to sell a
         specified  number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

-        a combination of any such methods of sale; and

-        any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

         The Selling  Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

         Except as limited by the Purchase Agreement,  the Selling  Stockholders
may also  engage  in short  sales  against  the box,  puts and  calls  and other
transactions  in securities of the Company or derivatives of Company  securities
and may sell or deliver  shares in  connection  with these  trades.  The Selling
Stockholders  may  pledge  their  shares  to  their  brokers  under  the  margin
provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin
loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

         Broker-dealers  engaged by the  Selling  Stockholders  may  arrange for
other  brokers-dealers  to  participate  in sales.  Broker-dealers  may  receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of shares,  from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated.  The  Selling  Stockholders  do not  expect  these  commissions  and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

         The  Selling  Stockholders  and any  broker-dealers  or agents that are
involved  in selling  the shares may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event,  any
commissions  received  by such  broker-dealers  or agents  and any profit on the
resale  of the  shares  purchased  by  them  may be  deemed  to be  underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

         Because the Selling  Stockholders  may be deemed to be  "underwriters,"
the Selling  Stockholders  will be subject to prospectus  delivery  requirements
under the  Securities  Act. In  addition,  in the event of a  "distribution"  of
securities,  the  Selling  Stockholders,   any  selling  broker-dealer  and  any
"affiliated  purchasers"  may be subject to  Regulation  M under the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934,  which  prohibits  certain  activities  for the purpose of
pegging,  fixing or  stabilizing  the price of securities in connection  with an
offering.

         Except as  otherwise  provided  by the  Registration  Rights  Agreement
pursuant to which the  Registration  Statement  is being  filed,  the Company is
required  to pay all fees  and  expenses  incident  to the  registration  of the
shares,  including fees and disbursements of counsel to the Selling Stockholders
(not to exceed $5,000 in the aggregate) and excluding all discounts, commissions
and other  similar  expenses  paid to brokers,  dealers,  agent and others.  The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
