         2. Mandatory Registration.

            (a) The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no
         event later than July 13, 2002, file with the SEC a Registration
         Statement or Registration Statements (as is necessary) on Form S-3 or
         such other appropriate form covering the resale of all of the
         Registrable Securities. The initial Registration Statement prepared
         pursuant hereto shall register for resale that number of shares of
         Company common stock shares equal to the number of Registrable
         Securities as of the date immediately preceding the date the
         Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to
         adjustment as provided herein. If a Registration Statement covering the
         Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC by July 13, 2002 (the
         "Registration Date"), for each thirty (30) day period (or pro-rata for
         any portion thereof) following the Registration Date during which no
         Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable
         Securities, the Company will pay to each Purchaser in cash, an amount
         equal to 2.0% of the aggregate amount paid to the Company by such
         Purchaser on the date it purchased securities pursuant to the
         Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable
         best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by
         the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred
         twenty (120) days after the date of filing. In the event the
         Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior
         to such date set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the
         Purchase Price (as defined in the Warrant) of the Warrant shall be
         reduced by 10% of the Purchase Price on each 30th day that the
         Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC and (ii)
         the Company shall make pro-rata payments to each Purchaser in cash an
         amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser on
         the date it purchased securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase
         Agreement, for any 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof
         following the date by which such Registration Statement should have
         been effective.

         3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under Section 2 to use
its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the
Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

            (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
         supplements to such Registration Statement (and any prospectus used in
         connection therewith) as may be necessary to keep such Registration
         Statement effective for a period of not less than two (2) years, or
         such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable
         Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or all
         of such Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule
         144(k) (or any similar provision then in force) under the 1933 Act and
         counsel to the Company provides an opinion in form, substance and scope
         reasonably acceptable to the Holders that the Registrable Securities
         are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (the "Registration Period"),
         and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
         disposition of all Securities covered by such Registration Statement
         during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
         disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration
         Statement;

            (b) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities to be included
         in the Registration Statement copies of such Registration Statement as
         filed and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such other
         documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate
         the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder;





                                        3
<PAGE>

            (c) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
         Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
         jurisdictions as any selling Holder of Registrable Securities
         reasonably requests, and do any and all other acts which may be
         reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate
         the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
         owned by such Holder; provided that the Company will not be required to
         (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
         not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(c) hereof,
         (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii)
         consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

            (d) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
         rules and regulations of the Commission;

            (e) notify each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, at
         any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
         under the 1933 Act (even if such time is after the period referred to
         in Section 3(a)), of the happening of any event as a result of which
         the prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an
         untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein in light of the circumstances being made not misleading, and
         prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
         thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities,
         such prospectus will not contain an 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 light of the circumstances
         being made not misleading;

            (f) use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to
         be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system on which
         similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded; and

            (g) The Company will comply with the reporting requirements of
         Sections 13 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act, to the extent it shall be
         required to do so pursuant to such sections, and at all times while so
         required shall comply with all other public information reporting
         requirements of the Commission (including the reporting requirements
         which serve as a condition to utilization of Rule 144 promulgated by
         the Commission under the 1933 Act) from time to time in effect and
         relating to the availability of an exemption from the 1933 Act for the
         sale of any of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder. The
         Company will also cooperate with the Holder in supplying such
         information and documentation as may be necessary for the Holder to
         complete and file any information reporting forms presently or
         hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability
         of an exemption from the 1933 Act for the sale of the Registrable
         Securities held by the Holder.

         4. Obligations of the Holders.

            (a) The Company may require each selling Holder of Registrable
         Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to
         the Company such information regarding such Holder, such Holder's
         beneficial ownership of the Company's securities and the distribution
         of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time
         reasonably request in writing.






                                        4
<PAGE>

            (b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
         Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
         3(e) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
         Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering
         such Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies
         of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e)
         hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to
         the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
         Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable
         Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event
         the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the
         Registration Period by the number of days during the period from and
         including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section
         3(e) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder of
         Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall
         have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
         contemplated by Section 3(e) hereof.

         5. Incidental Registration. If the Company determines that it shall
file a registration statement under the 1933 Act (other than a registration
statement on a Form S-4 or S-8 or filed in connection with an exchange offer or
an offering of securities solely to the Company's existing stockholders) on any
form that would also permit the registration of the Registrable Securities and
such filing is to be on its behalf and/or on behalf of selling holders of its
securities for the general registration of its common stock to be sold for cash,
at each such time the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of
such determination setting forth the date on which the Company proposes to file
such registration statement, which date shall be no earlier than forty (40) days
from the date of such notice, and advising each Holder of its right to have
Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon the written request
of any Holder received by the Company no later than twenty (20) days after the
date of the Company's notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause to
be registered under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder has so requested to be registered. If, in the written opinion of the
managing underwriter or underwriters (or, in the case of a non-underwritten
offering, in the written opinion of the placement agent, or if there is none,
the Company), the total amount of such securities to be so registered, including
such Registrable Securities, will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's
securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to the then
current market value of such securities, or (ii) without otherwise materially
and adversely affecting the entire offering, then the amount of Registrable
Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be reduced pro rata
to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included
in such offering to the recommended amount; provided that if securities are
being offered for the account of other Persons as well as the Company, such
reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities
intended to be offered by Holders than the fraction of similar reductions
imposed on such other Persons other than the Company over the amount of
securities they intended to offer. The Company shall be obligated to effect and
pay for an unlimited number registrations pursuant to this Section 5; provided,
that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 5 shall not be deemed to
have been effected for purposes of this sentence, unless (i) it has been
declared effective by the Commission, (ii) if it is a shelf registration, it has
remained effective for the period set forth in Section 3(b), and (iii) the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission (other than
any such action prompted by any act or omission of the Holders). Once a
registration pursuant to this Section 5 has been effected as to a Holder, the
Company's obligations under this Section 5 as to such Holder shall terminate.




                                        5

         6. Intentionally Omitted.

         7. Expenses of Registration. The Company agrees to pay all expenses
incurred in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2 or 5 of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and
qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers' and accounting fees
(including the expenses of any special audits or "cold comfort" letters required
by or incident to such performance and compliance), exchange listing fees or
National Association of Securities Dealers fees, messenger and delivery
expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws,
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company. The Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities shall have the right to select one legal counsel to
review and oversee any offering materials pursuant to Section 2 ("Legal
Counsel") and the costs of such legal counsel (not to exceed $7,500) shall be
borne by the Company. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel
in performing the Company's obligations. The Holders shall bear and pay the
underwriting commissions and discounts and broker commissions applicable to the
Registrable Securities offered for their account in connection with any
registrations, filings and qualifications made pursuant to this Agreement.

         8. Indemnification and Contribution.

            (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify,
         to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers,
         directors and agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within
         the meaning of the 1933 Act) against all losses, claims, damages,
         liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue
         statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
         prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or alleged
         omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
         or necessary to make the statement therein (in case of a prospectus or
         preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which
         they were made) not misleading.

            (b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with the Registration
         Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will
         furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such
         Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with
         such Registration Statement or prospectus and agrees to indemnify, to
         the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers
         and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning
         of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
         expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
         material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
         required to be stated in the Registration Statement, prospectus or
         preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto
         or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a
         prospectus or preliminary prospectus, 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 was made in reliance
         upon and in conformity with any information with respect to such Holder
         so furnished in writing by such Holder, provided that a Holder's
         indemnity will not exceed proceeds received by Holder from the sale
         giving rise to the indemnity payment.





                                        6
<PAGE>

            (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceeding. Any Person entitled to
         indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the
         indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written
         notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
         investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person
         will claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement
         and, unless in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party a
         conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the
         indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying
         party to assume the defense of such claims with counsel reasonably
         satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is
         assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be
         subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent
         (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Failure by such
         Person to provide said notice to the indemnifying party shall itself
         not create liability except to the extent of any injury caused thereby.
         No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter
         into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term
         thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
         party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
         litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not
         to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the
         fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel with respect to such
         claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a
         conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any
         other such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which
         event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and
         expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

            (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnity provided for in
         this Section 8 is unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless,
         an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to
         the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such
         losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
         as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
         indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the
         other, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
         permitted by applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the
         indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, in such
         proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
         received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified
         party on the other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying
         party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable
         considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
         indemnified parties 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 parties; 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 Section 8(c), 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 8(d) 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  If indemnification is available under his Section 8, the
indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent
provided in Sections 8(a) and (b) without regard to the relative fault of said
indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration
provided for in this Section 8.

         9.  Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of any
Holder under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities may be
transferred to any transferee of such Registrable Securities; provided that such
transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities
laws; provided further, that such transfer of Registrable Securities is in
accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement; provided
further, that the transferring Holder shall give the Company written notice at
or prior to the time of such transfer stating the name and address of the
transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under
this Agreement are being transferred; provided further, that such transferee
shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to be bound as a Holder by the provisions of this Agreement; and
provided further, that such assignment shall be effective only if immediately
following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by such
transferee is restricted under the 1933 Act. Except as set forth in this Section
9, no transfer of Registrable Securities shall cause such Registrable Securities
to lose such status.

         10. Miscellaneous.

             (a) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided
         herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the
         benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of
         the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
         intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto or
         their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
         obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
         except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

             (b) Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be
         governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York as
         applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within
         New York. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction
         of the Courts of the State of New York and of any Federal Court located
         in New York in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of
         or relating to this Agreement. In any such litigation the Company
         waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and
         agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered
         mail directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at its
         address set forth on the signature pages hereto.

             (c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
         which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

             (d) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are used for
         convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in
         construing or interpreting this Agreement.

             (e) Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement
         shall be given in writing and shall be delivered in person or by
         telecopy or by overnight courier guaranteeing no later than second
         business day delivery, directed to (i) the Company at the address set
         forth below its signature hereof (with a copy, which copy shall not
         constitute notice, to Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall LLP, 90 Sparks
         Street, 4th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 1E2, Attention: Michael Gerrior,
         Esq.) or (ii) a Holder at the address set forth below its signature
         hereof. Any party may change its address for notice by giving ten (10)
         days advance written notice to the other parties. Every notice or other
         communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given or
         served on the date on which personally delivered, or on the date
         actually received, if sent by telecopy or overnight courier service,
         with receipt acknowledged.

             (f) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
         provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
         circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
         for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such
         provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
         contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being
         intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Holders shall be
         enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

             (g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as
         a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and
         exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties
         hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no
         restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings other than those set
         forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
         agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such
         subject matter.

             (h) Recitals. The recitals are hereby incorporated in the Agreement
         as if fully set forth herein.

             (i) Future Registration Rights. Until such time as there are no
         further obligations of the Company to register the Registrable
         Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to
         any third party any registration rights equal or more favorable than
         those contained herein; provided, however, that the foregoing
         provisions shall not prevent the Company from granting to a third party
         specific registration rights that are equal to those contained herein,
         as long as all of the registration rights granted to such third party,
         taken as whole, are less favorable to third party than those granted to
         the Holders herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
         specifically covenants to enter into a registration rights agreement
         with the Holders on terms substantially comparable to the terms
         contained herein in order to register the common stock issuable upon
         conversion of the Preferred Stock. Said registration statement will be
         entered into promptly following the Company's due authorization of the
         Preferred Stock.
