obligation to register the Securities (other than pursuant to the Registration

                  b. Restrictive Legend. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
the Common Stock has not been registered under the 1933 Act and shall bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer

                  THESE SECURITIES (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
                  ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD
                  OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE

terms and conditions of that certain Registration Rights Agreement attached

of the Shares of Common Stock herein subscribed and purchased.

                  5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

                  a. Promptly following the delivery by the Buyer of the
aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock in accordance with Section 1(b)
hereof, the Company will irrevocably instruct its transfer agent to issue Common
Stock, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this
Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in
the name of the Buyer or Buyer's nominee. The Company covenants and agrees that
no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and
stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to
registration and sale of the Shares under the 1933 Act will be given by the
Company to the transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement, and applicable law. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with this
Agreement and all agreements attached hereto and with all applicable securities
laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a
resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of
Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company
shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement)
permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Shares, promptly
instruct the Company's transfer agent to issue one or more certificates for
Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified
by the Buyer.

                  b. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
the Common Stock, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program,
upon request of the Buyer and its compliance with the provisions contained in
this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and
the Buyer thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement
of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable to the Buyer
by crediting the account of Buyer's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

                  6. DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

                  The Common Stock shall be delivered by the Company to the
Buyer pursuant to Section 1(b) hereof, on a delivery against payment basis, on
the Closing Date.
