                            FIELDWORKS, INCORPORATED

                      RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE SERIES,
                    SETTING FORTH THE DESIGNATION AND FIXING
                     THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF
               SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

     Pursuant to the powers expressly granted to the Board of Directors of
Fieldworks, Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), by the
provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and Chapter 302A of
the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, the Board of Directors of the Company
duly established by written action of the Board of Directors a series of shares
consisting of 500,000 shares, with the designation of the series and the
relative rights and preferences of the series as follows:

     1.   Designation.  The designation of the series of shares is Series C
          -----------
Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series C Shares") and the number
of shares of such series is 500,000.

     2.   Dividends.  Dividends shall be payable on the Series C Shares out of
          ---------
funds legally available for the declaration of dividends only if and when
declared by the Board of Directors. In no event shall any dividend be paid or
declared, nor shall any distribution be made, on the Common Stock, unless the
holders of the Series C Shares shall have consented thereto and shall
participate in such dividend on a pro rata basis with the holders of Common
Stock, counting the Series C Shares on an as-if-converted basis.

     3.   Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, the holders
          ----------------------
of the Series C Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Company, after distribution of all amounts due the holders of the
Company's Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series B
Preferred Stock"), but prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the
assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of the Common Stock or any
other class of shares of preferred stock of the Company ranking junior to the
Series C Shares with respect to payments upon Liquidation (such preferred stock
hereinafter called "Junior Liquidation Stock"), and junior to any such
distribution to the holders of any class of shares of the Company ranking senior
to the Series C Shares in such respect, an amount equal to $2.00 per share plus
any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon for each Series C Share (the "preferred
amount"). Following any distribution of assets or surplus funds of the Company
to the holders of any outstanding series of Junior Liquidation Stock, the
remainder of any such assets or, surplus funds shall be

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

distributed to the holders of the Common Stock and any other series of preferred
stock entitled to participate in distributions of assets or surplus funds upon
liquidation until each holder shall have received an amount per share equal to
the preferred amount. Thereafter, any remaining assets or funds shall be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of any
other series of preferred stock having a right to participate, and the holders
of the Series C Preferred Stock, counting Series C Shares on an as-if-converted
basis. If upon the occurrence of any Liquidation, the assets and funds of the
Company available for the distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient
to pay the holders of the Series C Shares the full preferred amount to which
they shall be entitled, the holders of the Series C Shares shall share ratably
in any distribution of such assets and surplus funds available to the Series C
Shares in proportion to the Series C Shares held by them.

     4.   Voting Rights. Each holder of record of Series C Shares shall be
          -------------
entitled to notice of and to attend all meetings of the shareholders of the
Company and shall be entitled at each such meeting to a number of votes for each
Series C Share held equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each share of Series C Shares is then convertible. Each holder of Common Stock
shall have one vote on all matters submitted to the shareholders for each share
of Common Stock standing in the name of such holder on the books of the Company.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, and except as otherwise required
by agreement or law, the holders of the Series C Shares and the holders of
Common Stock of the Company shall vote as a single class on all matters
submitted to the shareholders.

     5.   Protective Provisions.  The Company shall not take any of the
          ---------------------
following actions without the prior affirmative written consent of the holders
of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Series C Shares:

          (a) alter, change or amend (by merger or otherwise) any of the rights,
     preferences or privileges of the Series C Shares;

     transaction or (iii) otherwise discontinue or dispose of more than ten

     6.   Conversion Rights.
          -----------------

          (a) At Option of Holders.  Holders of Series C Shares may, at their
              --------------------
option, upon surrender of the certificates therefor, convert any or all of their
Series C Shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at any

exercised by surrendering for such purpose to the Company or any transfer agent
for the Series C Shares, and at such other office or offices, if any, as the
Board of Directors may designate, certificates representing the Series C Shares
to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of
transfer. Upon the surrender of certificates representing the Series C Shares to
be converted, the person converting such shares shall be deemed to be the holder
of record of the Common Stock (and such other securities and property as the
holders of Series C Shares may be entitled to upon the conversion thereof, as
hereinafter provided) issuable upon such conversion, and all rights with respect
to the Series C Shares surrendered shall forthwith terminate except the right to
receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets receivable
upon such conversion as herein provided.

          (b) Conversion Rate/Conversion Price.  In addition to the adjustments
              --------------------------------
required by Section 6(e), 6(f) and 6(g), the conversion of Series C Shares into
Common Stock shall be governed by the following: Series C Shares shall be
convertible into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock (calculated as to each

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) as shall be determined by
multiplying the "Conversion Rate," determined as hereinafter provided, in effect
at the time of conversion by the product of (i) the number of shares of Series C
Shares to be converted and (ii) the "Initial Conversion Price" applicable to the
shares of Series C Shares being converted (as hereinafter defined) and dividing
the product of such multiplication by the "Conversion Price" applicable to the
Series C Shares being converted, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect
at the time of conversion and making any adjustments required by Section 6(e)
hereof. The Conversion Rate shall initially be one and shall be adjusted from
time to time as provided in Section 6(e) (such conversion rate, as so adjusted
from time to time, being referred to herein as the "Conversion Rate"). The
"Initial Conversion Price" for the Series C Shares shall be the price per Series
C Share paid to the Company upon the issuance thereof. The conversion price for
Series C Shares shall initially be equal to the Initial Conversion Price and
shall be adjusted from time to time as provided in Sections 6(f) and (g) (the
conversion price for Series C Shares, as so adjusted from time to time, being
herein referred to as the "Conversion Price" applicable to such Series C
Shares).

          (c) Reservation of Shares.  A number of shares of authorized but
              ---------------------
unissued Common Stock of the Company sufficient to provide for the conversion of
all of the Series C Shares outstanding upon the basis herein provided
("Conversion Common Stock") shall at all times be reserved by the Company, free
from preemptive rights, for such conversion. If the Company shall issue any
securities or make any change in its capital structure that would change the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each Series C Share shall be
convertible as herein provided, the Company shall at the same time also make
proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of
additional shares of capital stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive
rights, for conversion of the outstanding Series C Shares on the new basis. The
Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery
of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series C Shares and shall list such
shares on any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed
or have such shares admitted for quotation on the Nasdaq National or Small Cap
Market if the Common Stock is admitted for quotation thereon.

          (d) Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
              -----------------
issued upon the conversion of Series C Shares but, in lieu of any fraction of a
share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable in respect of the
aggregate number of such shares surrendered for conversion at one time by the
same holder, the Company shall pay in cash an amount equal to the product of (a)
the "Closing Price" (as defined in the next sentence) of a share of Common Stock
on the last trading day before the relevant conversion date and (b) such
fraction of a share. The "Closing Price" for each day shall be the last reported
sale price regular way or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average
of the closing bid and asked prices regular way on such day, in either case as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape, or, if the Common Stock
is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national
securities exchange on which the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if the Common Stock is not
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the Nasdaq
National or Small Cap Market, or, if the Common Stock is not admitted for
quotation on the Nasdaq National or Small Cap Market, the average of the high
bid and low asked prices on such day as recorded by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq, or, if the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq shall not have reported any bid and
asked prices for the Common Stock on such day, the average of the bid and asked
prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm
selected from time to time by the Company for such purpose, or, if no such bid
and asked prices can be obtained from any such firm, the fair market value of
one share of the Common Stock on such day as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

          (e) Conversion Rate Adjustments.  Subject to Section 6(g) hereof, if
              ---------------------------
the Company shall (A) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, (B) combine the shares of its outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares or (C) declare a dividend upon its shares of Common
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the Conversion
Rate in effect immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately adjusted so
that the holder of any shares of any Series C Shares thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall be entitled to receive, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company that such
holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of
such event had such Series C Shares been converted immediately prior to the
record date for such event (or if no record date is established in connection
with such event, the effective date for such action). An adjustment pursuant to
this Section 6(e) shall become effective immediately after the record date in
the case of a stock dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

          (f) Initial, One-Time Conversion Price Adjustment.  The Company
              ---------------------------------------------
contemplates a registered offering of rights to purchase common stock to its
shareholders.  If the purchase price of such offering is less than $2.00 per
share, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to such purchase price.  If the
Company abandons, or shall not have completed such registered offering to its
existing shareholders of rights to purchase Common Stock resulting in gross
proceeds equal to or exceeding $5,000,000 on or before June 30, 2000, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced to One Dollar ($1.00) per share, effective as
of March 31, 2000, and any transactions subsequent to March 31, 2000 shall, for
purposes of Section 6(g), be evaluated using that adjusted Conversion Price.

          (g) Continuing Conversion Price Adjustments. With respect to Series C
              ---------------------------------------
Shares, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell any shares of its Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") for a consideration per share
(in the case of the sale of any Convertible Securities, the amount, if any,
payable for such Convertible Security and upon

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

the exercise or conversion thereof (and/or upon the exercise or conversion of
the securities receivable upon such exercise or conversion) for each share of
Common Stock receivable thereby shall be included in determining such
consideration per share) less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series
C Shares, in effect immediately prior to the time of such issuance or sale,
then, forthwith upon such issuance or sale, such higher Conversion Price(s) for
the Series C Shares shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest tenth
of a cent) determined by dividing (x) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
or sale multiplied by such higher Conversion Price plus (B) the aggregate
                                                   ----
consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company for the share of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any issued Convertible
Security (and/or upon the exercise or conversion of the security receivable upon
such exercise or conversion), by (y) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
or sale plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock thus issued or sold or
        ----
receivable upon the exercise or conversion of the Convertible Securities (or the
securities receivable upon the exercise or conversion of such Securities). If
any Convertible Securities taken into account in any such adjustment of a
Conversion Price subsequently expire without exercise, such Conversion Price
shall be recomputed to eliminate the effect of such expired Convertible
Securities. However, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(g) shall be
required upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any
shares of preferred stock, including the Series C Shares, outstanding prior to
such issuance or sale or upon the exercise of options available under the 1996
Directors Stock Option Plan or the 1999 Long-term Incentive Plan of the Company
as in effect prior to November 1, 1999.

          (h) Consolidations, Mergers, Sales of Assets, Reclassifications and
              ---------------------------------------------------------------
Certain Dividends.  In case of any (A) consolidation or merger of the Company
-----------------
with any other company (other than the merger of a subsidiary of the Company
into the Company in a transaction in which the Company is the surviving
corporation and the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not
exchanged for or converted into any other securities, cash or other property),
(B) sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
for cash, securities or other property, (C) any share exchange pursuant to which
all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into other
securities or property, or (D) issuance of any shares of the Company's capital
stock in connection with a reclassification of the Common Stock, the Company
shall, prior to or at the time of such transaction, make appropriate provision
or cause appropriate provision to be made so that the holders of each Series C
Share then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to receive the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange or reclassification by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series C Shares
could have been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange or reclassification.  If
in connection with any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share
exchange or reclassification, each holder of Common Stock is

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

entitled to elect to receive either securities, cash or other assets upon
completion of such transaction, the Company shall provide or cause to be
provided to each holder of Series C Shares the right to elect the securities,
cash or other assets into which the Series C Shares held by such holder shall be
convertible after completion of any such transaction on the same terms and
subject to the same conditions applicable to holders of the Common Stock
(including, without limitation, notice of the right to elect, limitations on the
period in which such election shall be made and the effect of failing to
exercise the election).

          (i) Rounding.  All calculations hereunder, unless otherwise specified,
              --------
shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be.

          (j) Notices.  Whenever the Conversion Rate or a Conversion Price is
              -------
adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall give prompt notice by mail to the
holders of the outstanding Series C Shares of such adjustment, which notice
shall set forth the adjustment and the new Conversion Rate or Conversion Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by the Company to give such notice or a
defect in such notice shall not affect the binding nature of such corporate
action of the Company.

          (k) Common Stock Defined.  As used herein, the term "Common Stock"
              --------------------
shall mean and include the presently authorized Common Stock of the Company and
shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Company (other than the
Series C Shares) hereafter authorized which shall have the right to vote on all
matters submitted to the shareholders of the Company and shall not be limited to
a fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to
participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets upon the occurrence of
any Liquidation Event of the Company.

     7.   Preemptive Rights.  If Company offers to sell its common stock,
          -----------------
securities convertible into common stock, or any other debt (excluding debt
securities issued to banks or other financial institutions) or equity securities
other than the issuance of options or shares to employees, directors and
consultants which have been approved by the directors elected by the Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Additional Securities") it will first offer to the holders
of the Series C Shares, or, if applicable, Conversion Common Stock the right to
purchase a portion of the Additional Securities such that such holders'
aggregate percentage ownership of the Company on a fully diluted basis
("Purchasers' Percentage") will be unchanged. The offer shall set forth the
number of shares to be sold, the price, and material terms and conditions.

The right of the holders to purchase in the aggregate Additional Securities up
to but not more than the Purchaser's Percentage may be exercised as follows:

          (a) the Company shall provide each holder with written notice of the
number of securities to be issued and the cash price therefor;

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          (b) each holder shall have the right to purchase that percentage of
such securities equal to the ratio that the number of shares of Conversion
Common Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of
Conversion Common Stock held by all holders;

          (c) second, if not all holders elect to purchase their pro rata share,
then as to the excess of the amount of Purchaser's Percentage over the shares
taken by holders electing to purchase their pro rata part (such excess to be
referred to as the "Unsubscribed Shares"), the holders who do so elect shall be
offered the right to acquire pro rata among themselves based on their holdings
of Conversion Common Stock; and

          (d) if after such offer, any of the Unsubscribed Shares remain unsold,
as to such unsold Unsubscribed Shares, as the holders who agreed to purchase
their pro rata part of the Unsubscribed Shares may agree, all within thirty (30)
days of notice by the Company of such proposed issuance.

          The Company may, within thirty (30) days, sell the remaining
securities not to be purchased by the holders to third parties on the terms and
conditions set forth in the offer delivered to holders, and the holders shall be
required to deliver the consideration to Company for the securities being
purchased by the holders at the same time such third parties are required to
deliver their consideration to Company.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, the
holders' rights under this Section 7 shall not apply to (i) the securities of
the Company outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the initial Series
C Shares; (ii) shares of common stock issued in connection with any stock split,
stock dividends or recapitalization of Company or upon conversion of the Series
C Shares; (iv) any borrowings, direct or indirect from financial institutions by
the Company, whether or not presently authorized, evidenced by any type of debt
instrument with no equity features; (v) securities issued pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with a
registered public offering; (vi) equity securities issued to a financial
institution in connection with any lease financing or debt financing of the
Company approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Board of Directors; or (vii)
any transaction in which all directors of the Company elect for this Section 7
not to apply.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         On the basis of the foregoing and of our examination of such other
questions of law and fact as we deem relevant under the circumstances, and in
reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, presumptions
and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

         1. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota with corporate power and
authority to conduct its business as it is presently conducted, to own and lease
its properties and assets and to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents

         2. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which (i) such
qualification is necessary under applicable law as a result of its conduct of
business and (ii) the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         3. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

         4. The Company has taken action to reserve 500,000 shares of Common

in Article III in the Agreement are true and correct, the offer and sale of the
Series C Preferred Stock to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Agreement are
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"). Assuming the representations and warranties made by Purchaser
in Article III in the Agreement are true and correct, the issuance to Purchaser
of the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreement will be
exempt from such registration and qualification requirements.

         5. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction
Documents nor the performance of its obligations thereunder will (a) result in
the violation of (i) any federal or Minnesota statute or regulation applicable
to the Company or (ii) any order or decree known to us of any court or
governmental authority binding upon the Company or its property, (b) conflict
with the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or (c) result in a

         7. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000

     Common Stock Equivalents (as such number may be equitably adjusted from
     time to time to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,

          (c) Deferral by Company.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the contrary, the
     Company shall not be obligated to prepare, file and cause to become
     effective pursuant to this Section 2 a Registration Statement if within
     five (5) days of receipt of a request for a Demand Registration the Company
     furnishes to the Initiating Holder a certificate signed by the Chief
     Executive Officer of the Company that, in the good faith judgment of the
     Board of Directors, it would be detrimental in any material respect to the
     Company and its shareholders for the Company to comply with the Demand
     Registration, and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of the
     Registration Statement relating thereto. Any such deferral shall be for a
     period of not more than six (6) months after the Company's receipt of the
     Initiating Holder's written request for registration pursuant to this
     Section 2; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise this right
     more than once with respect to the Demand Registration and that any
     requested registration deferred, and not ultimately effected, by the
     Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall thereafter
     not be deemed to be the Demand Registration for purposes of the Section
     2(a) above.

          (d) Participation.

          The Company shall promptly give written notice to all other Eligible
     Holders upon receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to
     Section 2(a) above. Such other Eligible Holders may, by written notice to
     the Company and the Initiating Holder, within thirty (30) business days of
     the Company's notice, elect to join in a request for a Demand Registration
     pursuant to Section 2(a) above, with respect to any number of shares of
     Registrable Securities owned by such Eligible Holder. The Registrable
     Securities of the other Eligible Holders being offered in such Demand
     Registration shall be treated pari passu with the Registrable Securities
     being offered by the Initiating Holder for all purposes including
     "underwriter's cutbacks" under subsection (e) of this Section and any such
     request by an Eligible Holder shall not be treated as either a request by
     such Eligible Holder for a Piggyback Registration under Section 3 or as a
     request by such Eligible Holder for a Demand Registration under this
     Section 2. The Company shall include in such Demand Registration such
     shares of Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests
     to register such shares within thirty (30) days after such written notice
     has been given, provided that all the Registrable Securities for which the
     Initiating Holder and the other Eligible Holders have requested
     registration shall be covered by such registration statement before any
     other securities are included.

          In addition, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all
     eligible Holders upon receipt of a request for a demand registration by any
     Person (such Person, the "Initiating Person") pursuant to any other
     registration rights agreement with the Company (whether such other
     registration rights agreement is entered into before or after the date
     hereof).


                                       C-3

     Each Eligible Holder may, by written notice to the Company, within thirty
     (30) business days of the Company's notice, elect to request a Demand
     Registration pursuant to Section 2(a) above, with respect to any shares of
     Registrable Securities owned by such Eligible Holder. The Registrable
     Securities of the Eligible Holders being offered in such Demand
     Registration shall be treated pari passu with the registrable securities
     being offered by the Initiating Person (unless such Initiating Person is a
     holder of Series B Preferred Stock, Warrants issued to Industrial Works
     Holding Co., LLC, or Common Stock obtained on exercise or conversion
     thereof, in which case the securities proposed to be registered by such
     Initiating Person should be given priority) for all purposes including
     "underwriter's cutbacks" and any such request by an Eligible Holder shall
     not be treated as either a request by such Eligible Holder for a Piggyback
     Registration under Section 3 or as a request by such Eligible Holder for a
     Demand Registration under this Section 2. The Company shall include in such
     demand registration such shares of Registrable Securities for which it has
     received written requests to register such shares within thirty (30) days
     after such written notice has been given, provided that all the Registrable
     Securities for which the Initiating Person and the Eligible Holders have
     requested registration shall be covered by such registration statement
     before any other securities are included.

          (e) Underwriter's Cutback.

          If the public offering of Registrable Securities is to be underwritten
     and, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter, the inclusion
     of all the Registrable Securities requested to be registered hereunder
     would interfere with the successful marketing of such shares of Registrable
     Securities, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included
     shall be reduced and the number of shares to be included in the
     underwriting or registration shall be allocated first among the Eligible
     Holders pro rata upon the basis of the number of shares of Registrable
     Securities sought to be offered by the Eligible Holders pursuant to such
     Demand Registration and any remainder shall be allocated among the Company
     and the other persons entitled to incidental registrations pro rata upon
     the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities sought to be
     registered thereby. If a person who has requested inclusion in such Demand
     Registration does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such
     person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the
     underwriter or the Initiating Holder, and the securities owned by such
     person(s) shall be withdrawn from registration (the "Withdrawn
     Securities").

          If there are any Withdrawn Securities as a result of an Underwriter's
     Cutback, then the Company shall offer to those persons who have retained
     rights to include securities in the Demand Registration the right to
     include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount
     equal to the number of Withdrawn Securities that would have been included
     in the Demand Registration after giving effect to the Underwriter's Cutback
     had such securities not been withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated
     among such persons in accordance with the allocation of rights set forth in
     this paragraph (e).

                                       C-4

          (f) Managing Underwriter.

          The managing underwriter or underwriters of any Underwritten Offering
     covered by a Demand Registration shall be selected by a majority in
     interest of the Eligible Holders participating in such Underwritten
     Offering and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The right of
     any other Holders joining in a request for registration as provided in
     Section 2(d) above to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be
     conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the
     inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting on
     the same terms as those of the Initiating Holder (unless otherwise mutually
     agreed by a majority in interest of the Eligible Holders participating in
     such registration and such Holder with respect to such participation and
     inclusion).

     3. Piggyback Registrations

          (a) Participation.

          Each time the Company decides to file a Registration Statement under
     the Securities Act (other than registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any
     successor form thereto, and other than a Demand Registration or a demand
     registration by an Initiating Person) covering the offer and sale by it or
     any of its security holders of any of its securities for money, the Company
     shall give written notice thereof to all Eligible Holders. The Company
     shall include in such Registration Statement such shares of Registrable
     Securities for which it has received a written request from any Eligible
     Holder to register such shares within twenty (20) days after such written
     notice has been given. If the Registration Statement is to cover an
     Underwritten Offering, such Registrable Securities shall be included in the
     underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise
     being sold through the underwriters.

          (b) Underwriter's Cutback.

          Subject to the requirements of Section 12 hereof, if in the good faith
     judgment of the managing underwriter of such offering the inclusion of all
     of the shares of Registrable Securities and any other Common Stock
     requested to be registered would interfere with the successful marketing of
     such shares, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities and other
     Common Stock to be included in the offering shall be reduced, with the
     participation in such offering to be in the following order of priority:
     (1) first, the shares of Common Stock which the Company proposes to sell
     for its own account, (2) second, the shares of holders exercising rights
     given to holders of Series B Preferred Stock or holders of Warrants issued
     to Industrial-Works Holding Co., LLC, (3) third, the shares of Registrable
     Securities of all Eligible Holders requested to be included, and (4)
     fourth, any other shares of Common Stock requested to be included. Any
     necessary allocation among the Holders of shares within each of the
     foregoing groups shall be pro rata among such Holders requesting such
     registration based

                                       C-5
<PAGE>

     upon the number of shares of Common Stock and Registrable Securities owned
     by such Holders.

          (c) Company Control.

          The Company may decline to file a Registration Statement after giving
     notice to Eligible Holders pursuant to Section 3(a) above, or withdraw a
     Registration Statement after filing and after such notice, but prior to the
     effectiveness thereof; provided that the Company shall promptly notify each
     Eligible Holder in writing of any such action and provided further that the
     Company shall bear all expenses incurred by each Eligible Holder or
     otherwise in connection with such withdrawn Registration Statement.

     4. Registration on Form S-3

          (a) Right to Request Registrations on Form S-3.

          At any time the Company is qualified for the use of Form S-3, in
     addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this
     Agreement, the Eligible Holders shall have the right to request
     registrations on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form. Each such
     request shall be in writing and shall state the anticipated number of
     shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the anticipated
     gross proceeds of such shares, and the intended methods of disposition of
     such shares by such Eligible Holder or Eligible Holders, including whether
     such resales are to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to
     Rule 415. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration
     pursuant to this Section 4 if (i) the Eligible Holders propose to sell
     Registrable Securities representing less than fifteen percent (15% ) of the
     shares of the Registrable Securities then held by all Eligible Holders or
     (ii) the circumstances described in Section 2(c) shall apply (but subject
     to the limitations set forth therein).

          (b) Application of Certain Provisions.

          If the registration is for an Underwritten Offering, the provisions of
     Sections 2(d) and 2(f) hereof shall also apply to such registration, except
     the Company may not include any shares for its own account.

     5. Hold-back Agreements

          (a) By Holders of Registrable Securities.

          Upon the written request of the managing underwriter of any
     Underwritten Offering of the Company's securities, a Holder of Registrable
     Securities shall not sell or

                                       C-6
<PAGE>

     otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those included
     in such registration) without the prior written consent of such managing
     underwriter for a period (not to exceed thirty (30) days before the
     effective date and one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter) that such
     managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary in order to effect
     the Underwritten Offering; provided that each of the officers and directors
     of the Company, and each Holder of more than one percent (1%) of the Common
     Stock of the Company, shall have entered into substantially similar
     holdback agreements with such managing underwriter covering at least the
     same period.

          (b) By the Company and Others.

          The Company agrees:

               (1) not to effect any public or private sale or distribution of
          any of its equity securities during the 30-day period prior to, and
          during the 120-day period after, the effective date of each
          Underwritten Offering made pursuant to a Demand Registration or a
          Piggyback Registration, if so requested in writing by the managing
          underwriter (except as part of such Underwritten Offering, pursuant to
          registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms thereto), and

               (2) not to issue any Equity Securities other than for sale in a
          registered public offering unless each of the Persons to which such
          securities are issued has entered a written agreement binding on its
          transferees not to effect any public sale or distribution of such
          securities during such 130-day period, including without limitation a
          sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of
          such Underwritten Registration, if and to the extent permitted
          hereunder).

     6. Registration Procedures

     If and whenever the Company is required to register Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof and will
as expeditiously as practicable:

          (a) prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable a
     Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use
     all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
     become effective and remain continuously effective until the date that is
     the earlier to occur of (i) the date six months from the date such
     Registration Statement was declared effective, and (ii) the date the last
     of the Registrable

                                       C-7
<PAGE>

     Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, provided
     that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments
     or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to Holders of Registrable
     Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriters, if
     any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
     documents will be subject to the review of each Eligible Holder and such
     underwriters, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or
     amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto to which the
     Eligible Holders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;

          (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
     amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the
     Prospectus, as may be requested by any underwriter of Registrable
     Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions
     applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the
     Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration
     Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such
     Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of
     distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the
     Prospectus;

          (c) promptly notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and
     the managing underwriter, if any, and (if requested by any such Person)
     confirm such advice in writing,

               (1) when the Prospectus or any supplement or post-effective
          amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration
          Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
          effective,

               (2) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to
          the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional
          information,

               (3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
          effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
          proceedings for that purpose,

               (4) if at any time the representations and warranties of the
          Company contemplated by clause (1) of paragraph (o) below cease to be
          accurate in all material respects,

               (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
          respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable
          Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
          threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and

                                       C-8
<PAGE>

               (6) of the existence of any fact which results in the
          Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated
          therein by reference containing a misstatement;

          (d) make all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal
     of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at
     the earliest practicable time;

          (e) unless the Company objects in writing on reasonable grounds, if
     requested by the managing underwriter or any Eligible Holder holding more
     than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities then
     outstanding, as promptly as practicable incorporate in a supplement or
     post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter and
     such Eligible Holder agree should be included therein relating to the sale
     of the Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information
     with respect to the number of shares of Registrable Securities being sold
     to underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such
     underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten
     Offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and
     make all required filings of such supplement or post-effective amendment as
     soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such supplement or
     post-effective amendment;

          (f) only with respect to Demand Registrations, promptly prior to the
     filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the
     Registration Statement or the Prospectus (after initial filing of the
     Registration Statement) provide copies of such document to counsel to each
     of the Eligible Holders and to the managing underwriter, if any, and make
     the Company's representatives available for discussion of such document and
     make such changes in such document prior to the filing thereof as counsel
     for each Eligible Holder or underwriters may reasonably request;

          (g) furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and the
     managing underwriter, without charge, at least one signed copy of the
     Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including
     financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
     reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);

          (h) deliver to each Eligible Holder and the underwriters, if any,
     without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus (and each preliminary
     prospectus) as such Persons may reasonably request (the Company hereby
     consenting to the use of each such Prospectus (or preliminary prospectus)
     by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the
     underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
     Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus (or preliminary
     prospectus));

                                       C-9
<PAGE>

          (i) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use all
     commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with
     the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriters, if any,
     and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
     qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
     securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such underwriters may
     designate in writing and do anything else necessary or advisable to enable
     from a legal perspective the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
     Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided 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
     which would subject it to general service of process in any such
     jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

          (j) cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and
     the managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
     delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing
     the Registrable Securities to be sold and cause such Registrable Securities
     to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing
     underwriter may request at least three business days prior to any sale of
     Registrable Securities to the underwriters;

          (k) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable
     Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or
     approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
     necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if
     any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

          (l) if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus contains a
     misstatement, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
     Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
     incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so
     that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable
     Securities, the Prospectus will not contain a misstatement;

          (m) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable
     Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on any
     national securities exchange on which the Company's securities are listed
     or authorized for quotation on Nasdaq, if requested by any Eligible Holder
     or the managing underwriter, if any; provided, however, that the payment of
     any required listing or other fee shall always be deemed to be
     "commercially reasonable" for purposes of this Section 6(m);

          (n) provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities not later
     than the effective date of the Registration Statement;

          (o) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement)
     and do anything else reasonably necessary or advisable in order to expedite
     or facilitate the

                                      C-10
<PAGE>

     disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, whether
     or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration:

               (1) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of
          such Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in form,
          substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to holders and
          underwriters, respectively, in similar Underwritten Offerings;

               (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof
          (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
          reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter, if any, and each
          Eligible Holder) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriter,
          if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions delivered
          to holders and underwriters, respectively, in similar Underwritten
          Offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by any
          Eligible Holder or such underwriters;

               (3) obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the
          Company's independent certified public accountants addressed to the
          selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if
          any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the
          type customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters to holders and
          underwriters, respectively, in connection with similar Underwritten
          Offerings;

               (4) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same
          to include customary indemnification and contribution provisions and
          procedures with respect to such underwriters; and

               (5) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
          requested by any Eligible Holder and the managing underwriter, if any,
          to evidence compliance with clause (1) above and with any customary
          conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement
          entered into by the Company.

     The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar
     agreement or as and to the extent otherwise reasonably requested by any
     Eligible Holder;

          (p) make available for inspection by representatives of any Eligible
     Holder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
     Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by the
     sellers or any such underwriter, all financial and other records and
     pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the
     Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
     reasonably requested

                                      C-11
<PAGE>

     by any such seller or underwriter in connection with the Registration;
     provided that any records, information or documents that are designated by
     the Company in writing as confidential shall be kept confidential by such
     Persons unless disclosure of such records, information or documents is
     required by court or administrative order; and

          (q) otherwise use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
     all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC relating to such
     Registration, and make generally available to its security holders earnings
     statements satisfying the provisions of Section 12(a) of the Securities
     Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any 12-month
     period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) commencing at
     the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to
     underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, or, if not sold to underwriters
     in such an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company's first
     fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration
     Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month period.

     7. Registration Expenses

          (a) Demand Registrations and S-3 Registrations.

          The Company shall bear all Expenses incurred in connection with any
     Demand Registrations, S-3 Registrations or any Registrations which do not
     become or are not maintained effective in accordance with the requirements
     specified in Section 6(a), including expenses and fees of one counsel for
     all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters' Commissions
     related or attributable to Registrable Securities sold or incurred in
     connection with a Demand Registration or S-3 Registration that becomes
     effective shall be shared by the Holders of the Registrable Securities
     whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration, pro rata,
     in accordance with the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities sold by
     such Holders.

          (b) Piggyback Registrations.

          The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses incurred in
     connection with any Piggyback Registrations, including expenses and fees of
     one counsel for all Holders, except that each Holder of the Registrable
     Securities whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
     shall pay its pro rata share of the Underwriters' Commissions related or
     attributable to Registrable Securities sold or incurred in such
