                             STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

                  This STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into
as of June 27, 2002, by and among Jupiter Partners II L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Jupiter"), PCA International Inc., a North Carolina corporation
(the "Company"), GS Mezzanine Partners II L.P., an exempted limited partnership
organized under the laws of Delaware ("GS Mezzanine"), and GS Mezzanine Partners
II Offshore, L.P., an exempted limited partnership organized under the laws of
the Cayman Islands ("GS Offshore" and, together with GS Mezzanine, the
"Purchasers").

                                    RECITALS

                  WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a
Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2002 (as amended, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement"), providing for the sale by
the Company to the Purchasers of senior subordinated discount notes of certain
bridge to the Company (the "Notes").

                  WHEREAS, the Company has issued to the Purchasers warrants
(the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 52,460 shares of its Common Stock,
par value $.20 per share (the "Common Stock"), and an aggregate of 287 shares of
its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $10 per share (the "Series A
Preferred Stock"), under that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 27,
2002, among the Company and the Purchasers (the "Warrant Agreement").

                  WHEREAS, the Purchasers desire to enter into this Agreement
for the purpose of relating certain aspects of the Purchasers' relationships
with regard to each other and the Company in connection with their ownership of
the Warrants and Common Stock.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the Purchasers agree as
follows:

                  Section 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, and unless
the context requires a different meaning, the following terms have the meaning
indicated (capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement):

                  "Affiliate" of any Person shall mean another Person that
directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control
with, such first Person, where "control" means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
contract, as trustee or executor, or otherwise.

                                                                               2

                  "Common Stock Equivalents" means any security or obligation
which is by its terms convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares
of Common Stock, and any option, warrant or other subscription or purchase right
with respect to Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent.

                  "Person" shall mean any individual, corporation, limited
liability company, partnership, trust, joint venture, joint stock, trust or
other organization or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

                  "Shares" means, with respect to each Investor, Jupiter or any
other holder of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, all shares, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, or Common Stock, and any other Common Stock
Equivalents owned thereby; provided, however, for the purposes of any
computation of the number of Shares pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4, all
outstanding Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed converted, exercised or
exchanged as applicable and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion, exercise or exchange shall be deemed outstanding, whether or not
such conversion, exercise or exchange has actually been effected.

                  Section 2. Tag-Along Right. With respect to any proposed
transfer, sale or other disposition (each, a "proposed transfer") of Common
Stock by Jupiter to a person other than an Affiliate of Jupiter, which Affiliate
assumes all of the obligations of Jupiter hereunder with respect to such shares
of Common Stock (such other person being hereinafter referred to as the
"proposed purchaser"), each Purchaser shall have the right (the "Tag-Along
Right") to require the proposed purchaser to purchase all or any portion of such
Purchaser's Pro Rata Allocation (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock
proposed to be transferred simultaneously with consummating the proposed
transfer. A Purchaser's "Pro Rata Allocation" of the number of Shares proposed
to be transferred in any proposed transfer shall equal the total number of
shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred by Jupiter multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares held by such
Purchaser and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by
Jupiter and all of the Purchasers. Any shares of Common Stock purchased from
Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2 shall be purchased at the same price per
share and upon the same terms and conditions as such proposed transfer by
Jupiter, it being agreed, however, that such terms and conditions shall not
include the making of any representations and warranties, indemnities or other
similar agreements other than representations and warranties with respect to
title of the shares being sold and authority to sell such shares and indemnities
related thereto ("Title Representations"). Jupiter shall, not less than 20 nor
more than 60 business days prior to each proposed transfer, notify, or cause to
be notified, each Purchaser in writing of each such proposed transfer. Such
notice (the "Transfer Notice") shall set forth: (i) the name of the transferor
and the number and description of shares of Common Stock proposed to be
transferred, (ii) the name and address of the proposed purchaser, (iii) the
proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment
offered by such proposed purchaser, (iv) each Purchaser's Pro Rata Allocation of
the shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred and (v) that the proposed
purchaser has been informed of the Tag-Along Right provided for in this Section
2 and has agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms
hereof. Jupiter hereby agrees not to

                                                                               3

transfer any shares of Common Stock, directly or indirectly, in a manner that
would be inconsistent with the essential intent of this Section 2. For purposes
of this Section 2, any transfer of an equity interest of an entity that was
formed for the purpose of acquiring shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be
a transfer of the shares of Common Stock owned by such entity.

                  The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by any Purchaser by
delivery of a written notice to Jupiter proposing to sell shares of Common Stock
(the "Tag-Along Notice") within 20 business days following its receipt of the
Transfer Notice. The Tag-Along Notice shall state the number of Shares (the
"Tag-Along Shares") that such Purchaser proposes to include in such transfer to
the proposed purchaser, which number of Shares shall not exceed such Purchaser's
Pro Rata Allocation of the shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred.
Delivery of the Tag-Along Notice by any Purchaser shall constitute an agreement
by such Purchaser to sell, on the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer
Notice, the Tag-Along Shares to the proposed purchaser specified in the Transfer
Notice; provided that, in no event shall the Purchaser's liability in connection
with such transfer exceed the proceeds that such Purchaser receives with respect
to the Tag-Along Shares it sells pursuant to the Tag-Along Notice. In the event
that the proposed purchaser does not purchase the Tag-Along Shares from the
Purchasers on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice,
then Jupiter shall not be permitted to sell any shares of Common Stock to the
proposed purchaser in the proposed transfer. If no Tag-Along Notice is received
during the 20-business day period referred to above, Jupiter shall have the
right thereafter, prior to the expiration of 120 days from the date of the
Transfer Notice, to transfer the shares of Common Stock specified in the
Transfer Notice (or a portion thereof) on terms and conditions no more favorable
than those stated in the Transfer Notice and in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 2; provided that Jupiter shall have proceeded to consummate such
transaction as soon as reasonably practicable in good faith.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, in
the event that the proposed transfer, whether in one transaction or a series of
related transactions, would result in a Change of Control, each Purchaser shall
have the right to require the proposed purchaser to purchase all of such
Purchaser's Shares pursuant to the Tag-Along Right set forth in this Section 2,
and the proposed purchaser shall be required to purchase all of such Purchaser's
Shares in the manner set forth in this Section 2.

                  The Company agrees not to effect any transfer of shares of
Common Stock by Jupiter and to instruct the transfer agent for the Common Stock
not to effect any such transfer of shares of Common Stock, until the Company and
the transfer agent have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the
Tag-Along Right, if applicable to such transfer, has been complied with.

                  Section 3. Future Issuance of Shares; Preemptive Rights.

                  (a) Offering Notice. Except for (a) options to purchase Common
Stock or restricted stock which may be issued pursuant to the Company's existing
stock option plan, (b) shares reserved under any other equity incentive plan of

<PAGE>
                                                                               4

the Company for the exclusive benefit of employees, directors, officers or
consultants of the Company, (c) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (d) capital stock
issued upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalent
either (x) previously issued or (y) issued in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, (e) capital stock of the Company issued in consideration of an
acquisition, approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, by the Company of another Person, (f)
issuances to commercial banks, lessors and licensors in non-equity financing
transactions (provided that the foregoing will not include any issuances to
private equity or venture capital firms or any private equity division of any
investment bank or commercial bank) and (g) issuances to the public pursuant to
an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, ((a)-(g)
being referred to collectively as "Exempt Issuances"), if the Company wishes to
issue any capital stock or any other securities convertible into or exchangeable
for capital stock of the Company (collectively, "New Securities") to any Person
(the "Subject Purchaser"), then the Company shall offer such New Securities
first to each of the Purchasers (each, a "Preemptive Rightholder" and
collectively, the "Preemptive Rightholders") by sending written notice (the "New
Issuance Notice") to the Preemptive Rightholders, which New Issuance Notice
shall state (x) the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and (y) the
proposed purchase price per security of the New Securities (the "Proposed
Price").

                  (b) Preemptive Rights; Exercise.

                    (i) For a period of twenty (20) days after the giving of the
New Issuance Notice pursuant to Section 3(a), each of the Preemptive
Rightholders shall have the right to purchase its Proportionate Percentage (as
hereinafter defined) of the New Securities, at a purchase price equal to the
Proposed Price and upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the New
Issuance Notice. Each such Preemptive Rightholder shall have the right to
purchase that percentage of the New Securities determined by dividing (x) the
total number of Shares then owned by such Preemptive Rightholder exercising its
rights under this Section 3(b) by (y) the total number of Shares outstanding
(the "Proportionate Percentage"). If any Preemptive Rightholder does not fully
subscribe for the number or amount of New Securities that it or he is entitled
to purchase pursuant to the preceding sentence, then each Preemptive Rightholder
which elected to purchase New Securities shall have the right to purchase that
percentage of the remaining New Securities not so subscribed for (for the
purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the "Excess New Securities") determined by
dividing (x) the total number of Shares then owned by such fully participating
Preemptive Rightholder by (y) the total number of Shares then owned by all fully
participating Preemptive Rightholders who elected to purchase Excess New
Securities.

                                                                               5

                    (ii) The right of each Preemptive Rightholder to purchase
the New Securities under subsection (i) above shall be exercisable by delivering
written notice of the exercise thereof, prior to the expiration of the 20-day
period referred to in subsection (i) above, to the Company, which notice shall
state the amount of New Securities that such Preemptive Rightholder elects to
purchase pursuant to Section 3(b)(i). The failure of a Preemptive Rightholder to
respond within such 20-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such
Preemptive Rightholder's rights under Section 3(b)(i), provided that each
Preemptive Rightholder may waive its rights under Section 3(a) prior to the
expiration of such 20-day period by giving written notice to the Company.

                  (c) Closing. The closing of the purchase of New Securities
subscribed for by the Preemptive Rightholders under Section 3(b) shall be held
at the executive office of the Company at 11:00 a.m., local time, on (a) the
45th day after the giving of the New Issuance Notice pursuant to Section 3(a),
if the Preemptive Rightholders elect to purchase all of the New Securities under
Section 3(b), (b) the date of the closing of the sale to the Subject Purchaser
made pursuant to Section 3(b) if the Preemptive Rightholders elect to purchase
some, but not all, of the New Securities under Section 3(b) or (c) at such other
time and place as the parties to the transaction may agree. At such closing, the
Company shall deliver certificates representing the New Securities, and such New
Securities shall be issued free and clear of all liens (other than those arising
hereunder and those attributable to actions by the purchasers thereof) and the
Company shall so represent and warrant, and further represent and warrant that
such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Preemptive
Rightholders and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. Each Preemptive Rightholder purchasing the New
Securities shall deliver at the closing payment in full in immediately available
funds for the New Securities purchased pursuant to this Section 3. At such
closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional
documents as are otherwise necessary or appropriate.

                  (d) Sale to Subject Purchaser. The Company may sell to the
Subject Purchaser all of the New Securities not purchased by the Preemptive
Rightholders pursuant to Section 3(b) on terms and conditions that are no more
favorable to the Subject Purchaser than those set forth in the New Issuance
Notice; provided, however, that such sale is bona fide and made pursuant to a
contract entered into within ninety (90) days following the earlier to occur of
(i) the waiver by the Preemptive Rightholders of their option to purchase New
Securities pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii), and (ii) the expiration of the 20-day
period referred to in Section 3(b)(ii). If such sale is not consummated within
such 90-day period for any reason, then the restrictions provided for herein
shall again become effective, and no issuance and sale of New Securities may be
made thereafter by the Company without again offering the same in accordance
with this Section 3. The closing of any issuance and purchase pursuant to this
Section 3(d) shall be held at a time and place as the parties to the transaction
may agree within such 90 day period.

                  Section 4. Drag-Along Rights. In the event that Jupiter (the
"Drag-Along Rightholder") receives a bona fide offer from another Person to
purchase (including a

<PAGE>
                                                                               6

purchase by merger) all of the Shares held by the Drag-Along Rightholder or all
or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, the Drag-Along
Rightholder may send written notice (the "Drag-Along Notice") to the Purchasers
(the "Drag-Along Sellers") notifying them they will be required to sell all (but
not less than all) of their Shares in such sale (or, in the case of an asset
sale, to vote in favor of such sale). Upon receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, each
Drag-Along Seller receiving such notice shall be obligated to (i) sell all of
its Shares in the transaction (including a sale or merger) contemplated by the
Drag-Along Notice on the same terms and conditions as the Drag-Along
Rightholder; provided that in no event shall a Drag-Along Seller's liability in
connection with such sale exceed the proceeds such Drag-Along Seller receives in
consideration for the sale of its Shares and (ii) otherwise take all necessary
action to cause the consummation of such transaction, including voting its
Shares in favor of such transaction and not exercising any appraisal rights in
connection therewith. Each Drag-Along Seller further agrees to (A) take all
actions (including executing documents) in connection with the consummation of
the proposed transaction as may reasonably be requested of it by the Drag-Along
Rightholder and (B) appoint the Drag-Along Rightholder as its attorney-in-fact
to do the same on its behalf.

                  Section 3. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Legend. Jupiter, the Company and the Purchasers agree that
each certificate representing shares of Common Stock shall bear the following
legend (in addition to all other required legends) until such time as the same
is no longer applicable:

                  "THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
                  THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF, AND ARE ENTITLED
                  TO THE BENEFITS SET FORTH IN, A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED
                  JUNE 27, 2002, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE OFFICE OF THE
                  COMPANY. THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS
                  AGREEMENT TO THE RECORD HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE UPON
                  WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
                  BUSINESS OR REGISTERED OFFICE."

                  (b) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective legal representatives, heirs, legatees, successors and assigns;
provided, however, that a Purchaser may not assign its rights under Sections 2
and/or 3 of this Agreement without the written consent of the Company. Shares
sold following the procedures set forth in Section 2 shall no longer be subject
to any of the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (c) Specific Performance, etc. Each Purchaser, in addition to
being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or granted by law, including recovery of damages,
will be entitled to

specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Jupiter and each of the
Purchasers agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for
any loss incurred by reason of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement and
hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (d) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                  (e) Interpretation. The headings of the sections contained in

Section 2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     2.1 Demand Registration Right. (a) The Company covenants and agrees with
each Holder of Registrable Securities that if on or after August 25, 2003, the
Company receives a written request from Holders of not less than 30% of the then
outstanding Registrable Securities, then within sixty (60) days after receipt of
such notice (the 60th day after such notice, the "Filing Date") the Company
shall use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement and cause such
Registration Statement to become

                                       3

<PAGE>

effective under the Securities Act at the earliest possible date after such
notice (such date, the "Effectiveness Date") with respect to the offering and
sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities as such Holders desire
to have covered by such Registration Statement. The Company shall use its best
efforts to continuously maintain the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement until the earlier of (i) 270 days after the effective date of the
Registration Statement or (ii) the consummation of the distribution by the
Holders of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement (the "Effectiveness Period"). The Company shall not include any
securities other than the Registrable Securities in any such Registration
Statement pursuant to any "piggyback" or similar registration rights granted by
the Company without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities to be covered by such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

          (A) the Company shall not be required to effect more than one
     registration pursuant to this Section 2.1.

          (B) if the intended method of distribution is an underwritten public
     offering, the Company shall not be required to effect such registration
     pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) unless such underwriting shall be conducted
     on a "firm commitment" basis, and

          (C) any Holder whose Registrable Common Stock was to be included in
     any such registration, by written notice to the Company, may withdraw such
     request and, if upon receipt of such notice of the withdrawal of such
     request the Holders that have not elected to withdraw do not hold, in the
     aggregate, the requisite percentage of the Common Stock to initiate a
     request under this Section 2.1(a), then the Company shall not effect such
     registration and such registration shall not be deemed effected for the
     purpose of clause (A) above.

Each notice to the Company requesting registration to be effected shall set
forth (1) the number of Exchange Shares to be included; (2) the name of the
Holders of the Registrable Securities and the amount to be sold; and (3) the
proposed manner of sale. Within 10 (ten) days after receipt of such notice, the
Company shall notify each Holder of Registrable Securities who is not a party to
the written notice served on the Company (or the transferee(s) of such Holder)
and offer to them the opportunity to include their Registrable Securities in
such registration. A Registration Statement will not count as complying with the
terms hereof unless it is declared effective by the SEC and remains continuously
effective for the Effectiveness Period.

     (b) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering, not to effect
any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities or of securities of
the Company of the same class as any securities included in such Registration
Statement, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
(except as part of such underwritten registration), during the 10-day period
prior to, and during the 180-day period beginning on, the closing date of each
underwritten offering made pursuant to such Registration

                                       4

<PAGE>

Statement, to the extent timely notified in writing by the Company or the
managing underwriter or underwriters.

     (c) The foregoing provisions of Section 2.1(b) shall not apply to any
Holder of Registrable Securities if such Holder is prevented by applicable
statute or regulation from entering into any such agreement; provided, however,
that any such Holder shall undertake, in its request to participate in any such
underwritten offering, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any
applicable class of Registrable Securities commencing on the date of sale of
such applicable class of Registrable Securities unless it has provided 45 days
prior written notice of such sale or distribution to the underwriter or
underwriters.

     2.2 Incidental Registration. (a) If, at any time when Registrable
Securities are outstanding, the Company proposes to register any of its
securities under the Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
successor form thereto), whether or not for sale for its own account, and the
registration form to be used therefor may be used for the registration of
Registrable Securities, it will each such time give prompt written notice to all
Holders of Registrable Securities of the Company's intention to do so and, upon
the written request of any such Holder to the Company made within 10 days after
the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable
Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of
disposition thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the
registration (an "Incidental Registration") under the Act of all Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders
thereof.

     (b) Subject to Section 2.2(c), if an Incidental Registration is an
underwritten registration, and the managing underwriters thereof advise the
Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to
be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the
Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company
proposes to sell for its own account in such registration, (ii) second, the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
among the Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of
shares owned by each such Holder and such beneficiaries and (iii) third, other
securities requested to be included in such registration.

     (c) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b), if an Incidental Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration solely on behalf of holders of the Company's
securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in
their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include
in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein
by the holders requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares
owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be
included in such registration.

                                       5

<PAGE>

     2.3 Supplements and Amendments. If a Registration Statement ceases to be
effective for any reason at any time during the period for which it is required
to be effective under this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to
obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof
and shall in connection therewith promptly supplement and amend any such
Registration Statement in a manner reasonably and in good faith expected to
obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause any such Registration Statement to
be declared effective as soon as practicable after such amendment or supplement
and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for a period
equal to the period for which it is required to be effective under this
Agreement less the aggregate number of days during which any predecessor
Registration Statement was previously effective.

     The Company shall supplement and amend a Registration Statement if required
by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the applicable
registration form for such Registration Statement, if required by the Securities
Act or the SEC, or if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or by any
underwriter of the Registrable Securities.

     2.4 Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company and Others. The Company
agrees (i) that it shall not, and that it shall not cause or permit any of its
subsidiaries to, effect any public sale or distribution of any securities of the
same class as any of the Registrable Securities or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (or any option or other
right for such securities) (except for any securities issued to officers,
directors and/or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to
options or agreements entered into with such officers, directors and/or
employees in connection with their employment or pursuant to the Company's stock
option, stock bonus and other stock plans and arrangements for officers,
directors and employees) during the 15-day period prior to, and during the
180-day period beginning on, the commencement of any underwritten offering of
Registrable Securities which has been scheduled prior to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries publicly announcing its intention to effect any such public
sale or distribution; (ii) that any agreement entered into after the date of
this Agreement pursuant to which the Company (or, if applicable, any subsidiary
of the Company) issues or agrees to issue any securities which have registration
rights shall contain (x) a provision under which the holders of such securities
agree, in the event of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, not
to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities of the same class as
any of the Registrable Securities (or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any such securities), or any option or other
right for such securities, during the periods described in clause (i) of this
Section 2.4, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) and (y) a provision
that effects, upon notice given pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof to the Company
that an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities is to be undertaken, the
lapse of any demand registration rights with respect to any securities of the
Company (or, if applicable, of any subsidiary of the Company) until the
expiration of 180 days after the date of the completion of any such underwritten
offering; (iii) that the Company (and, if applicable, each subsidiary of the
Company) will not after the date hereof enter into any

                                       6

<PAGE>

agreement or contract wherein the holders of any securities of the Company or of
any subsidiary of the Company issued or to be issued are granted any "piggyback"
registration tights with respect to any registration effected pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof and (iv) that the Company (and, if applicable, each
subsidiary of the Company) will not after the date hereof enter into any
agreement or contract wherein the exercise by any Holder of its right to an
Incidental Registration hereunder would result in a breach thereof or a default
thereunder or would otherwise conflict with any provision thereof.

     2.5 Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 are to be sold
in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and
manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the
Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement and will be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If
the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and the Holders in
writing that in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters the amount of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering exceeds the amount
of securities that can be sold in such offering, there shall be included in such
underwritten offering the amount of Registrable Securities which in the opinion
of such underwriter or underwriters can be sold, and such amount shall be
allocated pro rata among the Holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of
the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by each such
Holder and all Holders. The Holders of Registrable Securities sold in any such
offering shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions of the underwriter
or underwriters pro rata; provided, however, that this Section 2.5 shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 2.7 hereof.

     No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holders
Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable
Securities and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     2.6 Registration Procedures. In connection with any Registration Statement,
the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of
disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as
possible:

     (a) Prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable each such
Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective
and remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing
any such Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto (including documents that would be incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference, including such documents filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that would be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall afford promptly to the
Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by

                                       7

<PAGE>

such Registration Statement their counsel and the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, an opportunity to review copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed a reasonable time prior to the proposed filing thereof and
the Company shall give reasonable consideration in good faith to any comments of
such Holders, counsel and underwriters; provided that the Company may
discontinue any registration of its securities giving rise to registration
rights pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof at any time prior to the effective date of
the registration statement relating thereto. The Company shall not file any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object in writing.

     (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for the time periods prescribed
hereby; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
prospectus supplement and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
(or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply
in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable
to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented.

     (c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities, their counsel and the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, promptly, and confirm such notice
in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such
notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without
charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective
amendment including financial statements and schedules and exhibits), (ii) of
the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any
preliminary prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for
that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the
Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable
Securities the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any
agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 2.6(m)
below, to the knowledge of the Company, cease to be true and correct in any
material respect, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to (A) the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities
covered thereby for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or (B) the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any
event the existence of any condition or information becoming known to the
Company that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement,
Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement, it
will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
Act and it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it

                                       8

<PAGE>

will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
Act and it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and (vi) of the Company's reasonable determination that a
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement would be appropriate.

     (d) Use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities covered
thereby for sale in any Jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practicable moment.

     (e) If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection
with an underwriting offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, or such Holders reasonably request to be
included therein to comply with applicable law and (ii) make all required
filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon
as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

     (f) Furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities who so requests and to
counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities and each managing underwriter,
if any, without charge, upon request, one conformed copy of the Registration
Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, and of all documents incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including exhibits
incorporated by reference).

     (g) Deliver to each Holder of Registrable Securities, their counsel and
each underwriter if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus
(including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as
such Holders may reasonably request but only for so long as the Company is
required to keep such registration statement effective; and, subject to the last
paragraph of this Section 2.6, the Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Holders of
Registrable Securities and the underwriter or underwriters or agents, if any, in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

     (h) Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities, cooperate with the
Holders of Registrable Securities, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and
their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification
(or exemption from such registration or qualification) of, such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as may be

                                       9

<PAGE>

required to permit the resale thereof by the Holders of Registrable Securities,
or as the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in writing;
provided, however, that where Registrable Securities are offered other than
through an underwritten offering, the Company agrees to cause its counsel to
perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications
required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2.6(h); keep each such
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
period such Registration Statement is required to be effective hereunder and do
any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities covered thereby; provided,
however, that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any
action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) become subject to taxation
in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

     (i) Cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which
certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends whatsoever and shall be in a
form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"); and enable
such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may
reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable
Securities in a firm commitment underwritten public offering.

     (j) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary to
enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any,
to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, except as may be
required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holders business,
in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
filing of the Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals.

     (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 2.6(c)(v) or
2.6(c)(vi) above, as promptly as practicable prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and, subject to Section 2.6(a) hereof, file such with the
SEC so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Registrable Securities
being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading and will otherwise comply with law.

     (l) Prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, (i) provide
the registrar for the Preferred Stock and the Exchange Shares or such other
Registrable

                                       10

<PAGE>

Securities with printed certificates for such securities in a form eligible for
deposit with DTC and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for such securities.

     (m) Enter into an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is
customary in underwritten offerings and take all such other actions as are
reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in order to
expedite or facilitate the registration or disposition of such Registrable
Securities in any underwritten offering to be made of the Registrable Securities
in accordance with this Agreement, and in such connection, (i) make such
representations and warranties to the underwriter or underwriters, with respect
to the business of the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company, and the
Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and
scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten
offerings, and confirm the same if and when requested; (ii) obtain an opinion of
counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinion (in form, scope and substance)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters),
addressed to the underwriter or underwriters covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings with respect to
secondary distributions and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by
underwriters; (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain "cold comfort"
letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates shall be reasonably
satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the managing underwriter or
underwriters) from the independent certified public accountants of the Company
(and, if applicable, the subsidiaries of the Company) and, to the extent
reasonably practicable, any other independent certified public accountants of
any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for
which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be,
included in the Registration Statement, addressed to each of the underwriters,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten
offerings; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall
contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those
set forth in Section 3 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures
acceptable to Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or agents)
with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section. The
above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and
to the extent required thereunder.

     (n) Make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of
Registrable Securities being sold, any underwriter participating in any such
disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorney or accountant
retained by such representative of the Holders or underwriter (collectively, the
"Inspectors"), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business
hours, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company, and cause the
officers, directors and employees of the Company and the subsidiaries of the
Company to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however,
that any information that is designated in writing by the Company, in good
faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information, shall

                                       11

<PAGE>

be kept confidential by such Inspector and not used by such Inspector for any
purpose other than in connection with such Inspectors review of the Registration
Statement for such registration except to the extent (i) disclosure of such
information is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of
such information, in the written opinion of counsel to such Inspector (a copy of
which is furnished to the Company), is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission of a material fact in the Registration Statement,
Prospectus or any supplement or post-effective amendment thereto or disclosure
is otherwise required by law, (iii) disclosure of such information is in the
written opinion of counsel for any such Inspector (a copy of which is furnished
to the Company), necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim,
suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving
such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, relating to or involving this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or arising hereunder,
or (iv) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as
a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector; without
limiting the foregoing, no such information shall be used by such Inspector as
the basis for any market transactions in securities of the Company or the
subsidiaries of the Company in violation of applicable law. Each selling Holder
of such Registrable Securities agrees that information obtained by it as a
result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by
it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company or
of any of its Affiliates unless and until such is made generally available to
the public. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities further agrees
that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in a
court of competent jurisdiction, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the
Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of the information deemed confidential.

     (o) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders
earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the
Securities Act) no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any 12-month
period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any 12-month period if such period
is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which
Registrable Securities are sold to an underwriter or to underwriters in a firm
commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to an
underwriter or to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day
of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the
relevant Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month
periods.

     (p) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange, if any, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed.

     Each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being
effected agrees, as a condition to the registration obligations with respect to
such Holder provided herein, to furnish promptly to the Company such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the
Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing to comply with the
Securities Act and other

                                       12

<PAGE>

applicable law. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable
Securities of any seller who unreasonably fails to furnish such information
within a reasonable time after receiving such request. If the identity of a
seller of Registrable Securities is to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement, such seller shall be permitted to include all information regarding
such seller as it shall reasonably request.

     Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.6(c)(ii), 2.6(c)(iv),
2.6(c)(v), or 2.6(c)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement or Prospectus
until such Holders receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.6(k), or until it is advised in writing
(the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be
resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto, and,
if so directed by the Company, such Holder will either (i) deliver to the
Company, or (ii) destroy, all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Holders 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 period of time for which a Registration Statement is
required hereunder to be effective shall be extended by the number of days
during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to
and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement shall have received (x) the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.6(k) or (y) the
Advice.

     2.7 Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement
by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registration
Statement is filed or becomes effective, including, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with
respect to filings required to be made with the National Association of
Securities Dealers Inc. (the "NASD") in connection with an underwritten offering
and (B) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
underwriter or underwriters in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the
Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable
Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as provided in
Section 2.6(h)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses
of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for
deposit with DTC and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or, in respect of
Registrable Securities, by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities
included in any Registration Statement), (iii) reasonable fees and disbursements
of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section
2.6(m)(iii) (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of any
special audit and "cold comfort letters required by or incident to such
performance), (iv) the fees and expenses of any "qualified independent
underwriter" or other independent appraiser participating in an offering
pursuant to Schedule E to the By-laws of the NASD, (v) liability insurance under
the

                                       13

<PAGE>

Securities Act, if the Company so desires such insurance, (vi) fees and expenses
of all attorneys, advisors, appraisers and other persons retained by the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company, (vii) internal expenses of the Company and the
subsidiaries of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and
expenses of officers and employees of the Company and & subsidiaries of the
Company performing legal or accounting duties), (viii) the expense of any annual
audit and (ix) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and
distributing all Registration Statements, underwriting agreements, securities
sales agreements, indentures and any other documents necessary in order to
comply with this Agreement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all
underwriting and brokerage discounts and commissions shall be paid by the
Holders of Registrable Securities.

     In connection with any Registration Statement hereunder or any amendment
thereto, the Company shall reimburse the Holders of the Registrable Securities
being registered in such registration for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
of such Holders incurred in connection therewith including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel (together
with appropriate local counsel) chosen by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement

     2.8 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner and, if at any
time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the
reasonable request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly
available other information so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to
Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company further covenants
that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144
and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time
to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will
deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with
such information requirements.

Section 3. INDEMNIFICATION

     3.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder or controlling Person may
become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, caused by any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each

                                       14

<PAGE>

Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the
Company by any Holder expressly for use therein; and provided further, that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the
Prospectus, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the
prospectus and the seller of Registrable Securities thereafter fails to deliver
such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the
sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage,
or liability after the Company had furnished such seller with a sufficient
number of copies of the same or if the seller received written notice from the
Company of the existence of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission and the seller continued to dispose of Registrable
Securities prior to the time of the receipt of either (A) an amended or
supplemented Prospectus which completely corrected such untrue statement or
omission or (B) a notice from the Company that the use of the existing
Prospectus may be resumed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or any Person
controlling such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

     3.2 Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. Each Holder
agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
the Company's directors, the Company's officers who sign the Registration
Statement and any person controlling the Company to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Holder set forth in Section 3.1,
but only with reference to, and in conformity with, information relating to such
Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or Person
controlling the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and shall survive the transfer
of such securities by such Holder.

     3.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceeding. In case any proceeding
(including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any
Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section
3.1 or Section 3.2, such Person, (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify
the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party")
in writing; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than as provided above. In case any such proceeding is instituted
against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the

                                       15

<PAGE>

commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to retain
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party to defend against such proceeding
and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to
such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the
indemnifying party has not retained counsel to defend such proceeding,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3. It is understood
that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties.
Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 3.1 and by the Company in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 3.2. All fees and expenses which an
indemnified party is entitled to receive from an indemnifying party under this
Section 3 shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall,
without prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter
of such action.

     3.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 3.1 or
Section 3.2 is unavailable as a matter of law to an indemnified party in respect
of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party under either such Section, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, judgments or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Company on the one hand and of the Holders of Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement in question on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault 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 Company, or by the
Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement in
question and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 3 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.
The amount paid or

                                       16

<PAGE>

payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section
3.4 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no Holder shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     3.5 Other Indemnities. The obligations of the Company and of each of the
Holders under this Section 3 shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company or which any of the Holders may otherwise have.

Section 4. MISCELLANEOUS

     4.1 Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of
its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     4.2 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not, after the date of
this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
The Company will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its
securities which will grant to any Person "piggyback" rights with respect to any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

     4.3 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the
prior written consent of Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to
depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities
are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly
or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of
Registrable Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
Statement; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be
amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence. The last sentence of the definition of
Registrable

                                       17

Securities and this Section 4.3 may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures therefrom may not be given at any time.

     4.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including
without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent
Holders of Registrable Securities.

     4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

     4.7 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of

     4.9 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

     4.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase
