Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the

Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed;
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of

Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any
event that makes any statement made in the 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 or omit to state any 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 shall promptly furnish to Special Counsel, without charge,

at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits
to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or

of such 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.

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
reasonably 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 general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any tax
in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

          (i)   Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold

restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least
two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

          (j)   Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
3(c)(vi), as promptly as practicable, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

          (k)   Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on Nasdaq and any other

the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and
the Nasdaq system or any other applicable market or system.

Registration Statement, supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration
Statement. If any Registration Statement or Prospectus refers to any Holder by

aware and the happening of any event which relates to the Holder or distribution
of such securities owned by such Holder which results in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement containing
an untrue statement of material fact or omitting to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and shall provide to the Company such information as shall be
necessary to enable the Company to prepare a supplement or post-effective

incorporated therein by reference or file any other document required so that
the Registration Statement or Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein.

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

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.

          (m)   If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the
Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably
                                                     -----
determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant
business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose
under the Registration Statement, then the Company may suspend effectiveness of
a registration statement and suspend the sale of Registrable Securities under a
Registration Statement for a period not to exceed twenty (20) consecutive days,
provided that the Company may not suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n)
for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month
period (each, a "Blackout Period"); provided, however, that no such suspension
                 ---------------    --------  -------
shall be permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods, arising out of the
same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the
Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the
Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with
copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such
Registration Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
                                                                    ---------

of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent,
but only to the extent, that 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, which information was
reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein 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

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

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 provided, further, that with respect to any amended or supplemented
Prospectus, the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply or inure to the
benefit of any Holder from whom the Person asserting any Loss, purchased shares,
or any Person controlling such Holder, if, copies of an amended or supplemented
Prospectus were timely delivered to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement and a
copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall
have furnished any amendment or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or
on behalf of such Holder to such Person, if required by law so to have been
delivered, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have
cured the defect giving rise to such Loss. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an
Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof) and shall survive the
transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

          (b)  Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding
               --------------------------
any termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, and 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 or employees of such controlling Persons, and the respective successors,
assigns, estate and personal representatives of each of the foregoing, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as
incurred, arising out of, relating to, or based upon any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Prospectus, or any preliminary prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arising out of, relating to, or based upon 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 preliminary prospectus
or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so
furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in
the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was
reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement,
such Prospectus or such preliminary 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 preliminary Prospectus Supplement.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section
5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as
a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.

          (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 promptly shall 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 Indemnified Party and the payment of all
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

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

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 proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.

          An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such Proceeding and to participate in 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 by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying
Party 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 on
behalf of the Indemnified Party 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 (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding
in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

          All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable
fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10)
Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of
whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require
                           --------
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

          (d) Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a)
              ------------
or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal
of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with
its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each 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

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

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. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable or required to
contribute under this Section 5(c) for only that amount as does not exceed the
net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement.

          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.
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.   Rule 144.

          As long as any Holder owns Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares,
the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies
of all such filings.  As long as any Holder owns Common Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the
Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated
under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together
with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and
substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be
included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such
filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act.  The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Person to sell Common Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions of
counsel to the Company referred to in the Purchase Agreement.  Upon the request
of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification
of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.

     7.   Miscellaneous.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

          (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.

          (b) No Inconsistent Agreements.  Neither the Company nor any of its
              --------------------------
subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect,
nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, 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.  Neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect
granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
Person.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the
Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act
unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in
full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the
provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) No Piggyback on Registrations.  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.

          (d) Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time when there is not an
              ------------------------
effective Registration Statement covering (i) Common Shares or (ii) Warrant
Shares, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities,
other than on Form F-4 or Form F-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities
Act) or its then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely
in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity
securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit
plans, the Company shall send to each holder of Registrable Securities written
notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) days after receipt of such
notice, any such holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify
the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Holders), the
Company will use its best efforts to cause the registration under the Securities
Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to
register by the holder, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the
Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to
the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to
delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give
written notice of such determination to such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the
case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to
register any Registrable

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any
Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 7(d) for the
same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall
include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
Securities such holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the
                                                  --------  -------
Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 7(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the
Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing
underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of
the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company
after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine
that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely
affect the offering contemplated in such 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) 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), if the
Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of
fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the
Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after
consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered
                        --------  -------
for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such
reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable
Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar
reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

          (e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events.  The
              -------------------------------------------------------
Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
Registration Statement is not filed or confidentially submitted on or prior to
the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the
Effectiveness Period or if certain other events occur.  The Company and the
Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision.  Accordingly, if (I) the Registration Statement is
not filed or confidentially submitted on or prior to the Filing Date, or is not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date (or
in the event an additional Registration Statement is filed or confidentially
submitted because the actual number of Common Shares and Common Stock into which
the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock
initially registered is not filed and declared effective within the time periods
set forth in Section 2), or (II) the Company fails to file with the Commission a
request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 12dl-2 promulgated under the
Exchange Act within five (5) days of the date that the Company is notified
(orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a
Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not subject to further review,
or (III) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the
Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable
Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period,
without being succeeded by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and
declared effective by the Commission, or (IV) trading in the Common Stock shall
be suspended for any reason for more than three (3) Business Days in the
aggregate, or (V) the Company has breached

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Section 3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as
an "Event"), the Company shall pay as liquidated damages for such failure and
    -----
not as a penalty (the "Liquidated Damages") to each Holder:
                       ------------------

          (i)    an amount equal to $63,000 for each thirty (30) day period (a

"Period"), up to a maximum of $189,000 or three (3) Periods, until the
-------
applicable Event has been cured, which amount shall be pro rated for any portion
of such Period;

          (ii)   if an Event continues for more than three (3) Periods, the
Company shall immediately reduce the Warrant Price under (and as defined in) the
Warrant from $2.68 to $2.4922 per share; and

          (iii)  if an Event continues for more than four (4) Periods, the
Company shall immediately issue to the Purchaser an additional Warrant to
purchase 90,079 shares of Common Stock for each Period the Event continues, up
to a maximum of six (6) such Warrants or six (6) Periods, until the applicable
Event has been cured, which amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such Warrants shall be pro rated for any portion of a Period.

Payments in cash to be made pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall be due and
payable immediately upon demand at the option of the Holders.  The reduction of
the Warrant Price in Section 7(e)(ii) shall occur immediately upon demand at the
option of the Holders.  The additional Warrants shall be issued immediately upon
demand of the option of the Holders.  The parties agree that these Liquidated
Damages represent a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the
date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred by the
Holders if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing
Date or has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
Effectiveness Date and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the
Effectiveness Period or if any other Event as described herein has occurred.

     (f)  Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
          ---------------------------------------------

          (i)    The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Registration Rights Agreement or the Purchase Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement.; provided, however, that with respect to any provision with respect
            --------  -------
to which the Buyer entitled to receive Liquidated Damages, the sole remedy of
the Buyer will be to enforce specifically its right to receive such Liquidated
Damages.

          (ii)   Both the Company and the Purchaser (i) hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and the courts of the State of New York located in New York
county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and
agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Both the Company and
the Purchaser 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 in this
Section 7(f) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.

          (g)  Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement,
               ----------------------
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company
and each of the Holders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to
depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;
provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended,
--------  -------
modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence.

          (h)  Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or
               -------
deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given: when delivered by hand, if
personally delivered; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; or when
actually received or refused if sent by other means.

inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns

such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such
assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or
assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such

applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement.  In addition, each Holder
shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other Person with the
prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to
subsequent) successors and assigns.

          (k)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of

          Re:  Bid.com International Inc.
               --------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to Bid.com International Inc., a corporation organized under
the laws of Ontario, Canada (the "Company"), and have represented the Company in
connection with that certain Common Stock and Warrants Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), dated as of _____, 2000, by and between the Company and
the Purchaser named therein pursuant to which the Company issued to the
Purchaser shares (the "Common Shares") of its Common Stock, no par value (the
"Common Stock"), and issued warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchaser (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as of ______, 2000, pursuant to which
the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the Common Shares
and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the
Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on _________,
2000, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ___ (File No. 333-
________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities
which names each of the present Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and, accordingly, the
Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act in the manner
specified in, and pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement for so
long as such Registration Statement remains effective and current.

                                    Very truly yours,




                                    By:
