      such other Persons on the basis of the relative number of shares so
      requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by each such Holder

or supplement to the Prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably
request;

            (d) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Shelf Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the
circumstances then existing, and following such notification promptly prepare
and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or
an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such Prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading or
incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;

            (e) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for
all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date
of such registration; and

<PAGE>

            (f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
connection with any registration contemplated hereunder, the Acquiror may
require the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, to furnish the
Acquiror such information regarding the Selling Holders and the underwriters, if
any, and the distribution of the Selling Holders' Registrable Securities as the
Acquiror may from time to time reasonably request.

            6. Holdback Agreement.

            In the event any registration of equity securities of the Acquiror
shall be made in connection with an Underwritten Offering, upon the written
request of the Acquiror and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities
of the Acquiror, each Holder agrees not to effect any sale or distribution,
including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any
Registrable Securities, and not to effect any such sale or distribution of any
other equity security of the Acquiror or of any security convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Acquiror (in each
case, other than as part of such Underwritten Offering) during the 15 days prior
to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of the
registration statement for such Underwritten Offering; provided that the Holders
have such written request at least 15 days prior to the filing date of the
Registration Statement and provided, further, that all officers and directors of
the Acquiror (other than those participating in the Underwritten Offering) also
agree not to effect any such sale or distribution during such period.

            7. Indemnification.

            (a) Indemnification by the Acquiror. The Acquiror shall,
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
each Selling Holder and each of its officers, directors, agents and employees,
each Person who controls the Acquiror (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors,
agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and expenses
(collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) 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, (ii) 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 or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or
regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or
inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such
registration, qualification or compliance, except to the extent that any such
untrue statement or omission is based solely upon information regarding such
Selling Holder furnished to the Acquiror in writing by such Selling Holder
stated specifically for use therein.

            (b) Indemnification by the Selling Holders. Each Selling Holder
shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Acquiror, its
officers, directors, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Acquiror
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors,
agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses as incurred, arising
out of or relating to (i) 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 (ii) any 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 to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished by
such Selling Holder to the Acquiror in writing specifically for inclusion in the
Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus, or in any
amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however that in no event shall any
indemnity under this Section 7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.

            (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 which indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party may 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 the 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 to the extent that such failure shall have proximately and 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
unless (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
expenses, (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 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 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. 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) includes an unconditional written release
of such Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to an admission of
fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

            (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with
respect to any loss,


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying
Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

            8. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Termination. Except for Section 7 hereof, this Agreement and the
rights and obligations of the Acquiror and the Holders hereunder shall terminate

be sold in any consecutive three-month period in accordance with Rule 144.

be assigned by operation of law or otherwise.

            (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same agreement and, when executed, shall be binding
on the other parties hereto.

other representation, warranty or covenant (regardless of the relative levels of
specificity) which the party has not breached, it shall not detract from or
mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation,
warranty or covenant.

            (ii) Any of the defined terms in this Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires, may be used in the singular or the plural, depending on the
reference. In this Agreement, unless clearly indicated otherwise, references to
dollar amounts are to the lawful money of the United States of America.

            (l) Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree that the remedies at
law for any breach of the terms of this Agreement are inadequate. Accordingly,
the parties hereto consent and agree that an injunction may be issued to
restrain any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. The parties hereto
agree that terms of this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific
performance. Such remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be
in addition to any other remedies which the parties may have at law or in
equity.

            (m) Recapitalizations, Etc. In the event that any capital stock or
other securities are issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution
of, any Registrable Securities by reason of any reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, spin-off, partial or
complete liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, sale of assets, distribution to
stockholders or combination of the Registrable Securities or any other change in
the Acquiror's capital structure, appropriate adjustments shall be made in this
Agreement so as to


                                      -10-

fairly and equitably preserve, to the extent practicable, the original rights
and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

            (n) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION,
ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
