     material  filed  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d),  in addition to one or
     more  registration  statements and amendments  thereto  heretofore filed by
     Purchaser  with the SEC under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the
     "Act") (all of the foregoing  including  filings  incorporated by reference
     therein  being  referred to herein as the "SEC  Documents").  Purchaser has
     delivered  to the  Seller  true and  complete  copies of the SEC  Documents
     (except for exhibits and incorporated documents).

     As of their respective  dates,  the SEC Documents  complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act as the case may be
and the  rules  and  regulations  of the SEC  promulgated  thereunder  and other
federal,  state and local laws,  rules and  regulations  applicable  to such SEC
Documents,  and none of the SEC Documents  contained  any untrue  statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated  therein
or  necessary  in  order  to  make  the  statements  therein,  in  light  of the
circumstances  under  which  they  were  made,  not  misleading.  The  financial
statements of Purchaser  included in the SEC Documents  comply as to form in all
material  respects with  applicable  accounting  requirements  and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC or other  applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements  or the  notes  thereto  or (ii) in the  case  of  unaudited  interim
statements,  to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or
summary  statements)  and fairly present in all material  respects the financial
position of Purchaser as of the dates thereof and the results of operations  and
cash  flows  for the  periods  then  ended  (subject,  in the case of  unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

4.5  No Material  Adverse Change.  Since the date of the most recently filed SEC
     Documents, no event has occurred or exists with respect to Purchaser or any
     of its  subsidiaries  which would be likely to have, or has had, a material
     adverse effect on Purchaser and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.6  Brokers.  There has been no broker or finder  involved in any manner in the
     negotiations  leading  up  to  the  execution  of  this  Agreement  or  the
     consummation of any transactions  contemplated hereby, and Purchaser agrees
     to indemnify Seller against and hold Seller harmless from any claim made by
     any person for a broker's or finder's fee or other  similar  payment  based
     upon any agreements, arrangements or understanding made by Purchaser.

     activity,  enter into any agreement or make any  commitment,  except in the
     usual and ordinary  course of business and consistent with past practice as

<PAGE>
                                   EXHIBIT "A"

     (a) Request for  Registration.  At any time after the date  hereof,  if the
Company  proposes to file a  registration  statement  under the  Securities  Act
(other  than a  registration  statement  on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any  similar  or
successor  form  that  may be  adopted  by  the  Commission)  or a  registration
statement  filed in connection  with an exchange offer or offering of securities
or debt solely to the Company's  existing security or debt holders) with respect
to an offering of securities of the same class as the Registrable  Securities by
the  Company  for its own  account  or for the  account  of any of its  security
holders,  then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed  filing to
each Holder as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 20 days before the
anticipated filing date). Such notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to
have all or any of the  Registrable  Securities  held by such Holder included in
the registration  statement proposed to be filed or, at the Company's option, in
a  separate   registration   statement  to  be  filed   concurrently  with  such
registration  statement (the "Piggy-back  Registration").  Within ten days after
receiving  such  notice,  each Holder may make a written  request to the Company
that  any or all of the  Holder's  Registrable  Securities  be  included  in the
Piggy-back  Registration,  which notice shall specify the number of shares to be
so included.  Subject to Section 3(b) hereof,  the Company  shall include in the
Piggy-back   Registration  (or  in  a  separate  registration   statement  filed
concurrently  therewith) all  Registrable  Securities  with respect to which the
Company has received  written  requests for  inclusion  therein  within ten days
after the receipt by each Holder of the Company's notice. The Company may in its
discretion  withdraw any  registration  statement filed pursuant to this Section
3(a)  subsequent  to its filing  without  liability  to the Holders  except with
respect to Registration  Expenses. Any Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all
or part of such Holder's  Registrable  Securities  requested to be included in a
Piggy-back  Registration  at any  time  prior  to the  effective  date  of  such
Piggy-back Registration without any liability for any Registration Expenses.

     (b) Priority on Piggy-back Registration.  If any Piggy-Back Registration is
to  be  an  underwritten  offering,  the  Company  shall  use  its  commercially
reasonable  efforts to cause the managing  Underwriter or Underwriters to permit
the shares of  Registrable  Securities  requested by the Holders of  Registrable
Securities  ("Selling  Piggy-back  Holders")  to be  included in the Piggy- back
Registration  (on the same terms and  conditions  as similar  securities  of the
Company  included  therein  to  the  extent  appropriate).  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if the managing  Underwriter or Underwriters of such offering advise
the  Company in  writing  that,  in their  opinion,  the  number of  Registrable
Securities and any other securities requested to be included in such offering is
sufficiently large to have Material Adverse Effect,  then (i) if such Piggy-back
Registration is incident to a primary registration on behalf of the Company, the
amount of  securities  to be included  in the  Piggy-back  Registration  for any
persons (other than the Company and the Selling Piggy-back  Holders) shall first
be reduced,  and  thereafter  the  Registrable  Securities to be offered for the
account of the Selling Piggy-back  Holders shall be reduced or limited,  subject
to any written  agreement among the Selling  Piggy-back  Holders,  on a Pro Rata
Basis so that the total  number of  securities  to be included  in the  offering
shall be the total number of securities recommended by such managing Underwriter
or Underwriters,  unless any of the Selling Piggy-back Holders desires to sell a
number of  Registrable  Securities  that is less than the total pro rata  amount
that he is entitled to sell, in which event the number of Registrable Securities
not so elected to be sold shall be allocated among the other Selling  Piggy-back
Holders  on a Pro  Rata  Basis,  and  (ii) if such  Piggy-back  Registration  is
incident to a secondary  registration  on behalf of holders of securities of the
Company  (excluding  pursuant  to Section 2 hereof,  in which  priority  will be
governed by Section 2(d) hereof), the Company shall include in such registration
statement (A) first,  the number of securities of such person(s) on whose behalf
the  registration  is being made  (allocated  among such  persons as they may so
determine),  (B) second,  the number of Registrable  Securities  requested to be
included  in such  registration  pursuant  to this  Section  3 in  excess of the
securities  of such  persons  on whose  behalf  the  registration  is being made
propose to sell that, in the opinion of such managing Underwriters,  can be sold
without causing a Material Adverse Effect on such offering,  allocated among the
Selling Piggy-back  Holders,  subject to any written agreement among the Selling
Piggy- back Holders on a Pro Rata Basis as  described  in clause (i) above,  and
(C)  third,  the  number  of  securities   requested  to  be  included  in  such
registration by the Company or by other persons  pursuant to similar  piggy-back
registration rights (allocated among the Company and such persons as they may so
determine).

     (c)  Limitations  on  Piggy-back  Registration.  The  Company  shall not be
obligated to effect more than two Piggy-back Registrations under this Section.
