                  material respect or otherwise prevent the

                                       8

                  Company from performing its obligations under this Agreement
                  or any of the other Transaction Documents in any material
                  respect, and would not, individually or in the aggregate,
                  have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement
                  and the other Transaction Documents by the Company do not,

                  or in respect of the Company, any consent, approval,
                  authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification

                  instrumentality, official, organization, unit, body or
                  entity and any court or other tribunal).

                  of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
                  contemplated hereby will not constitute a breach of any

                  forfeiture or termination of any Company IP or impair the
                  right of Company and its Subsidiaries to use, sell or license
                  any Company IP, except for the occurrence of any such breach,
                  forfeiture, termination or impairment that would not,
                  individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse
                  Effect.

                                (c) (i) None of the manufacture, marketing,

                  license or agreement between the Company or any of its
                  Subsidiaries and any third party or, to the Knowledge of the
                  Company, infringes any intellectual property right of any
                  other party; and (ii) there is no pending or, to the Knowledge
                  of the Company, threatened claim or litigation contesting the

         enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or equity).

                                       12

         Securities nor has any agency or other Governmental Body passed upon or
         endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

                           3.4. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

                   this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by each
                   Investor do not, and the consummation by such Investor of the
                   Contemplated Transactions will not, (i) if such Investor is
                   an entity, conflict with or violate the Certificate of
                   Incorporation or the By-laws (or equivalent or comparable
                   documents) of such Investor, (ii) conflict with or violate
                   any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
                   applicable to such Investor or by which any property or asset
                   of such Investor is bound or affected, or (iii) result in any
                   breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with
                   notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
                   under, result in the loss of a material benefit under, or
                   give to others any right of purchase or sale, or any right of
                   termination, amendment, acceleration, increased payments or
                   cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien or other
                   encumbrance on any property or asset of such Investor
                   pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract,

                   by which such Investor or any property or asset of such
                   Investor is bound or affected; except, for any such
                   conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other
                   occurrences that would not prevent or delay consummation of
                   any of the Contemplated Transactions in any material respect
                   or otherwise prevent such Investor from performing its
                   obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
                   Transaction Documents in any material respect.

                                (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement
                   and the other Transaction Documents by each Investor do not,
                   and the performance of this Agreement and the other
                   Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Investor
                   of the Contemplated Transactions will not, require, on the
                   part or in respect of such Investor, any consent, approval,
                   authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification
                   to, any Governmental Body.

                   Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
                   confirms, that the Securities to be received by such
                   Investor will be acquired for investment for such Investor's
                   own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
                   to the resale or distribution of any part thereof such that
                   such Investors would constitute an "underwriter" under the
                   Securities Act; provided that this representation and
                   warranty shall not (i) limit the Investor's right to sell
                   the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Investor Rights
                   Agreement or in compliance with an exemption from

                   (ii) the Investor's right to indemnification under this
                   Agreement, if any, or the Investor Rights Agreement, if any.

                                (b) Each Investor understands and acknowledges
                   that (i) the offering of the Securities pursuant to this
                   Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act or
                   qualified under any Blue Sky Laws on the grounds that the
                   offering and sale of the Securities are exempt from
                   registration and qualification, respectively, under the
                   Securities Act and the Blue Sky Laws, (ii) nothing in this

                   constitutes legal, tax or investment advice, (iii) such
                   Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment
                   advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary
                   or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities,
                   (iv) the Company has not undertaken to register the
                   Securities pursuant to the Securities Act and, except as
                   provided in the Investor Rights Agreement, will have no
                   obligation to effect on behalf of any Investor any
                   registration or qualification under the Securities Act or
                   under any Blue Sky Laws or to assist any Investor in
                   complying with any exemption from registration or
                   qualification under the Securities Act or under any Blue Sky
                   Laws and (v) if the Securities have not been registered under
                   the Securities Act and Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale
                   of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or
                   the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be
                   an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities
                   Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under
                   the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
                   thereunder.

                                (c) Each Investor covenants that, unless the
                   Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Underlying

                   received in respect of the foregoing have been registered
                   pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement being entered into
                   among the Company and the Investors, such Investor will not
                   dispose of such securities unless and until such Investor
                   shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition
                   and shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
                   counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
                   Company to the effect that (x) such disposition will not
                   require registration under the Securities Act and (y)
                   appropriate action necessary for compliance with the
                   Securities Act, all applicable Blue Sky Laws and any other

                   provided, however, that an Investor may dispose of such
                   securities without providing the opinion referred to

                                       14

                                (d) Each Investor represents to the Company
                   that: (i) such Investor is able to fend for itself in the
                   Contemplated Transactions; (ii) such Investor has such
                   knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as
                   to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such
                   Investor's prospective investment in the Securities and has
                   so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment; (iii)
                   such Investor has the ability to bear the economic risks of
                   such Investor's prospective investment and can afford the
                   complete loss of such investment; (iv) such Investor has been

                   Company Disclosure Letter; (v) such Investor has been
                   furnished with and has had access to such information as is
                   in the SEC Documents and in the Company Disclosure Letter,
                   together with the opportunity to obtain such additional
                   information as it requested to verify the accuracy of the
                   information contained therein or otherwise supplied to such
                   Investor so that such Investor can make an informed
                   investment decision with respect to an investment in the
                   Securities; (vi) such Investor has had access to officers of
                   the Company and an opportunity to ask questions of and
                   receive answers from such officers and has had all questions
                   that have been asked by such Investor satisfactorily answered
                   by the Company; and (vii) such Investor is not subscribing to
                   purchase the Securities as a result of or subsequent to any
                   advertisement, article, notice or other communication
                   published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
                   broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any
                   seminar or meeting, or any solicitation of a subscription by
                   a Person not previously known to such Investor in connection
                   with investments in securities generally.

                                (e) Each Investor represents to the Company
                   that: (i) such Investor (A) was qualified at the time such
                   Investor was offered the securities, (B) qualifies on the
                   date hereof, and (C) will qualify on the Closing Date, as an
                   "accredited investor" as such term is defined under Rule 501
                   promulgated under the Securities Act. Any Investor that is a
                   corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, a
                   trust or other business entity further represents to the
                   Company that it has not been organized for the purpose of
                   purchasing the Securities.

                                (f) By acceptance hereof, each Investor
                   acknowledges that the Purchased Shares, the Purchased

                   held by it may not be sold by such Investor without
                   registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
                   therefrom, and therefore such Investor may be required to
                   hold such securities for an indeterminate period.

                                (g) In connection with any transfer of
                   Securities made by each Investor in compliance with the
                   provisions of this Agreement, such Investor will cause each
                   proposed transferee of such Securities to agree and take hold
                   of such Securities subject to the provisions of this
                   Agreement.

         split or share reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon or
         otherwise and each certificate for any such securities issued to
         subsequent transferees of any such certificate (unless otherwise
         permitted herein) shall bear the following legend:

                   THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("THE SECURITIES
                   ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
                   PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE

         the material terms of the Contemplated Transactions, and attaching as
         exhibits to such Form 8-K copies of the Transaction Documents, there
         have been and will be no trades in the Common Stock entered into in the

         Investor Rights Agreement), such Investor has not engaged and shall not
         engage in any short sales of securities of the Company.

                   information reporting forms presently or hereafter required
                   by the SEC as a condition to the availability of an exemption

                                       16

                   may be converted or exercised to purchase Common Stock (or

                   all legal or administrative proceedings, including without
                   limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred
                   in connection therewith (but in no event for more than one
                   law firm for all the Investors)(collectively, "Losses"),
                   resulting from a breach by the Company of any representation
                   or warranty of the Company contained herein or the failure of
                   the Company to perform any agreement or covenant made herein;
                   provided, however, that the Company's liability under this
                   Section 5.2(b) shall be limited to the aggregate purchase
                   price of the Securities.

                                (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after
                   receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of any Losses in
                   respect of which the Company (the "Indemnifying Party") may
                   be required to provide indemnification thereof under this
                   Section 5.2, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice
                   thereof to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may,
                   at its option, claim indemnity under this Section 5.2 as soon
                   as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless
                   of whether any actual Losses have been suffered, so long as
                   counsel for such Indemnified Party shall in good faith
                   determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the
                   Indemnifying Party may be required to provide indemnification
                   therefore as a result thereof and shall give notice of such
                   determination to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified
                   Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying
                   Party's option and expense, to assume the defense of any such
                   claim by counsel mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the
                   Indemnifying Party and a majority in interest of the
                   Indemnified Parties and to settle or otherwise dispose of

                                       17

                    the same; provided, however, that each Indemnified Party may
                    at all times participate in such defense at such Indemnified
                    Party's expense; and provided further, however that the
                    Indemnifying Party shall not, in defense of any such claim,
                    except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified
                    Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement
                    that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
                    giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to such
                    Indemnified Party of a release of all liabilities in respect
                    of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not promptly
                    assume the defense of such claim or if any such counsel is
                    unable to represent one or more of the Indemnified Parties
                    due to a conflict of interest, then an Indemnified Party may
                    assume, to the extent separable, the defense of such portion
                    of the claim as to which the conflict arose (and, if not
                    separable, the entire claim) and be entitled to
                    indemnification and prompt reimbursement from the
                    Indemnifying Party for such Indemnified Party's reasonable
                    costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith,
                    including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
                    expenses (not to exceed the cost of more than one law firm
                    for all Investors). Such fees and expenses shall be
                    reimbursed to the Indemnified Parties as soon as practicable
                    after submission of invoices to the Indemnifying Party.

                           5.3. Issuance of Certain Securities. Without the
         prior written consent of the Investors, during the one year period
         following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue for cash any
         (a) Convertible Securities or similar securities that contain a
         provision that provides for any change or determination of the
         applicable conversion price, conversion rate, or exercise price (or a
         similar provision which might have a similar effect) based on any
         determination of the market price of the Company's Common Stock, (b)
         any preferred stock, debt instruments or similar securities or
         investment instruments providing for (i) preferences or other payments
         substantially in excess of the original investment by purchasers
         thereof or (ii) dividends, interest or similar payments other than
         dividends, interest or similar payments computed on an annual basis and
         not in excess, directly or indirectly, of the lesser of a rate equal to
         (A) twice the interest rate on 10 year US Treasury Notes and (B) 20%.

                           5.4. Right of First Refusal. In addition, subject to
         the exceptions described below, the Company will not conduct any equity
         financing (including debt with an equity component) ("Future
         Offerings") during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending
         one (1) year after the date of this Agreement unless it shall have
         first delivered to each Investor other than the Specified Investors, at
         least ten (10) business days prior to the closing of such Future
         Offering, written notice describing the proposed Future Offering,
         including the material terms and conditions thereof, and providing each
         Investor an option during the ten (10) day period following delivery of
         such notice to purchase its pro rata share (based on the ratio that the
         aggregate amount of Securities purchased by it hereunder bears to the
         aggregate amount of Securities purchased hereunder by all such
         Investors) of the securities being offered in the Future Offering on
         the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations
         referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are
         collectively referred to as the "Capital Raising Limitations"). Upon
         receipt of an affirmative response from any such Investor(s) the
         Company and such Investors shall proceed in good faith with the
         preparation of definitive transaction agreements. In the event

                                       18

         the material terms and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are
         materially amended after delivery of the notice to the Investors
         concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a
         new notice to each such Investor describing the amended terms and
         conditions of the proposed Future Offering and each such Investor
         thereafter shall have an option during the five (5) day period
         following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share
         of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by
         such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence
         shall apply to successive material amendments to the material terms
         and conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The Capital Raising
         Limitations shall not apply to any transaction involving issuances of
         securities as consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of
         assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint
         venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital),
         or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business,
         product or license by the Company, or any bank or lease financing
         transaction. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to
         the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the
         Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities
         outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional
         options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under
         any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the
         shareholders of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
         5.4 to the contrary, in the event the Company's Board of Directors
         decides, in good faith, to enter into a transaction or relationship in
         which the Company issues shares of Common Stock or other securities of
         the Company to a person or any entity which is, itself or through its
         subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the
         business of the Company, the Company shall be permitted to do so
         without any Capital Raising Limitations.

                  6. Miscellaneous.

                           6.1. Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This
         Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire
         contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and
         thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to the other in any
         manner by any warranties or representations (express or implied) or
         agreements or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or
         therein. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede
         any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
         matter hereof and thereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement
         shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
         executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
         parties. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended
         to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto, any rights,
         remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
         Agreement.

                           6.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties.
         Notwithstanding any right of the Investors fully to investigate the
         affairs of the Company and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts
         determined or determinable by any Investor pursuant to such right of
         investigation, each Investor has the right to rely fully upon the
         representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company
         contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant to
         this Agreement. All such representations and warranties of the Company
         contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of
         this Agreement and the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full
         force and effect until the

                                       19

         earlier of (a) the date that is one year after the applicable Closing
         and (b) the sale of all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the
         Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the
         Securities Act. All representations and warranties of the Investors
         contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery
         of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder. The covenants of the
         Investors (to the extent set forth in Section 4.1(c) and (g) and 4.3)
         and the Company set forth in this Agreement shall survive the
         applicable Closing.

                           6.3. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement
         shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
         State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
         Each party hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction
         of any New York State or United States Federal Court sitting in the
         State of New York, County of New York, over any action or proceeding
         arising out of or relating to this Agreement and irrevocably consents
         to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding
         in the manner for the giving of Notices at its address specified in
         Section 6.6. Each party further waives any objection to venue in the
         State of New York, County of New York and any objection to an action or
         proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non
         conveniens. Each party also waives any right to trial by jury.

                           6.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
         (including by facsimile transmission) with counterpart signature pages
         or in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
         original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
         instrument.

                           6.5. Headings. The headings of the sections of this
         Agreement are for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the
         interpretation of this Agreement.

                           6.6. Notices. Any notice or other communication
         required or permitted to be given hereunder (each a "Notice") shall be
         given in writing and shall be made by personal delivery or sent by
         courier or certified or registered first-class mail (postage prepaid),
         addressed to a party at its address shown below or at such other
         address as such party may designate by three days advance Notice to the
         other parties.

         such Investor set forth on the signature pages hereof, with a copy to:

                           6.7. Rights of Transferees. Any and all rights and
         obligations of each of the Investors herein incident to the ownership
         of Securities or the Underlying Shares shall pass successively to all
         subsequent transferees of such securities until extinguished pursuant
         to the terms hereof; provided, however, that no Investor may transfer
         or assign its rights under this Agreement (other than to an Affiliate)
         between the date of this Agreement and the applicable Closing Date.

                           6.8. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision
         of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be
         effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
         Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable
         law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
         prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not
         invalidate the remainder of such provision or any other provision of
         this Agreement.

                           6.9. Fees and Expenses

                                (a) Subject to Section 6.9(b), irrespective of
         whether any Closing is effected, the Company shall pay all costs and
         expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution,
         delivery and performance of this Agreement.

                                (b) Each party shall be responsible for all
         costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with the
         negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
         including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, except that the
         Company shall pay at the Initial Closing an aggregate of up to $30,000
         for the legal fees and expenses of Gersten Savage, LLP (the "Legal
         Fee"), as counsel to the Investors.

                                (c) If any action at law or in equity is
         necessary to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement,
         the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees,
         costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to
         which such party may be entitled.

                           6.10. Amendments and Waivers. Unless a particular
         provision or section of this Agreement requires otherwise explicitly in
         a particular instance, any provision of this Agreement may be amended
         and the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived
         (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
         or prospectively),

                                       21

         only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a
         majority of the Purchased Shares (not including for this purpose any
         Purchased Shares which have been sold to the public pursuant to a
         registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption there
         from). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
         Section 6.10 shall be binding upon each Investor, each holder of any
         Securities at the time outstanding (including without limitation
         securities into which any such Securities are convertible or

                   FORM OF LEGAL OPINION- WIGGIN AND DANA LLP

The opinion will be subject to standard qualifications and exceptions,
reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Investors.

          (i) The Company is validly existing as a corporation and is in good
standing under the law of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its business and assets, and to
carry on its business as currently conducted.

         (ii) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, to sell and issue the Securities
under the Unit Subscription Agreement, to issue Common Stock upon exercise of
the Warrants and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

         (iii) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

         (iv) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on part of the Company and will not, with or without the giving of notice
or the passage of time, or both, violate: (a) the provisions of the Charter and
Bylaws, (b) any laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware or Federal laws of the United States of America, or (c) to
our knowledge, any judgment, decree, order or award of any court binding upon
the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

         (v) The Securities, when issued and paid for and when certificates
representing the Securities have been issued to the Investors, all in compliance
with the provisions of the Unit Subscription Agreement and the Warrants, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any adverse claims
within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code
(assuming the Investors take the Securities with no notice of any adverse claims
and obtain control of the Securities in New York), other than any adverse claims
created by or imposed upon the holders thereof; provided, however, that the
Securities may be subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable state and
federal securities laws.

         (vi) Based solely on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to
factual matters, the Company is not, and, immediately after giving effect to the
sale of the Securities in accordance with the Transaction Documents and the
application of the proceeds as described in Section 2.17 of the Unit
Subscription Agreement, will not, be required to be registered as an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         (vii) Subject to the accuracy of the Investors' representations and
warranties in the Unit Subscription Agreement, and upon the filing of Form D in
compliance with Regulation D under the Securities Act, the issuance of the
Securities in conformity with the terms of the Unit Subscription

Agreement constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of
Section 5 of the Securities Act.

         (viii) Based solely upon our review of the resolutions of the Board of
Directors of the Company relating to the Transaction Documents, the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants has been validly reserved for issuance.INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         2.   EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
              Closing.

         3.   MANDATORY REGISTRATION.

              (a) No later than thirty (30) days after each Closing, the Company
will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if
Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration
statement that is then available to effect a registration of all Registrable
Shares) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act all of the
Registrable Shares for resale by, and for the account of, the applicable
Investors as selling stockholders thereunder (each a "REGISTRATION STATEMENT").
Each Registration Statement shall permit the applicable Investors to offer and
sell, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act, any or all of such Investor's Registrable Shares. Each Registration
Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and
the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number
of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock
dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Shares. The
offer and sale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to each Registration Statement
shall not be underwritten.

              (b) The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause each Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days
after filing.

              (c) The Company shall be required to keep each Registration
Statement, as amended, effective until such date that is the earliest to occur
of (i) the second anniversary of the applicable Closing, (ii) the date when all
of the Registrable Shares registered thereunder shall have been sold, and (iii)
such time as all the Registrable Shares held by the applicable Investors

                                       2

can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and without
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act (each such
date is referred to herein, as applicable, as a "MANDATORY REGISTRATION
TERMINATION DATE"). Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw such
Registration Statement and the Investors shall have no further right to offer or
sell any of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or
any prospectus relating thereto).

                  (d) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending
on the date of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, the Company
shall not grant any registration rights that are pari passu with or senior to
the registration rights of the Investors under this Agreement if such
registration rights would adversely affect the Investors' ability to sell
Registrable Shares pursuant to each Registration Statement. Except as set forth
in the SEC Documents or in the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company represents
and warrants to the Investors that no stockholders other than the Investors have
the right to sell any Common Stock or other securities of the Company pursuant
to each Registration Statement.

                  (e) If: (i) the applicable Registration Statement is not filed
on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the applicable Closing,
or (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on or prior to the ninetieth (90) day following
the filing thereof, or (iii) if the SEC reviews the Registration Statement it is
not declared effective on or prior to the one hundred twentieth (120) day
following the filing thereof, or (iv) after the effectiveness date thereof, such
Registration Statement ceases to be effective and available to the applicable
Holders as to all applicable Shares (but not as to any Registrable Shares
underlying the Purchased Warrants) in violation of this Agreement (any such
failure or breach being referred to as an "EVENT" and the date on which such
Event occurs being referred to as "EVENT DATE"), then, in addition to any other
rights available to the applicable Holders, on each such Event Date and on each
monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not
have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company
shall pay to each applicable Holder in cash, as partial liquidated damages and
not as a penalty, a payment ("PAYMENT") equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase
price paid by such Investor to the Company with respect to the Shares (but not
as to any Registrable Shares underlying the Purchased Warrants) then held by
such Holder. The Payment pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rata
basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. Such cumulative
Payment shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such
Investor, with such purchase price being computed exclusive of the value of any
exercises of the Purchased Warrants.

               4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the Company's
obligation under Section 3 hereof to file each Registration Statement with the
SEC and to use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to
become effective as soon as practicable after filing, the Company shall, as
expeditiously and as reasonably as possible, subject to Section 9 hereof:

                  (a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until
the Mandatory Registration Termination Date;

                                       3

                  (b) Furnish to the selling Investors such reasonable number of
copies of the Registration Statement, prospectus and preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
(including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are
prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 4(a) above) as the selling
Investors may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the disposition of such
selling Investors' Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement;

                  (c) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under all applicable
Blue Sky Laws of all states requiring such registration or qualification,
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions; and

                  (d) Use reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable
Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each national securities exchange on
which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed.

               5. FURNISH INFORMATION. (a) It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement
that the selling Investors shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding them and the securities held by them as the Company shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in order to effect any registration by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement.

                  (b) Each Registration Statement will provide, at the request
of the applicable Investors, for a plan of distribution with respect to the
applicable Registrable Shares substantially as follows: The Registrable Shares
may be sold from time to time by the selling Investors. Such sales may be made
on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at
prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current
market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Registrable Shares may be sold
by selling Investors in one or more of the following types of transactions: (i)
a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction; (ii) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal
and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to the resale
registration statement; (iii) an exchange distribution in accordance with the
rules of such exchange; (iv) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in
which the broker solicits purchasers; and (v) transactions between sellers and
purchasers without a broker/dealer. In addition, any securities covered by the
Registration Statement which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold
under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to the Registration Statement. From time to
time the selling Investors may engage in short sales, short sales versus the
box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of the issuer or
derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection
therewith. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling
Investors may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or
dealers will receive commissions or discounts from selling Investors in amounts
to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

               6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant
to this Agreement (excluding underwriting, brokerage and other selling
commissions and discounts), including without

                                       4

limitation all registration and qualification and filing fees, printing
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable
fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Investors selected by the
selling Investors, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any fees and expenses of such counsel for
the selling Investors, which, together with the Legal Fee exceed $30,000.

               7. INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each selling Investor (including the partners or officers,
directors and stockholders of such Investor), and each Person, if any, who
controls such selling Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other federal or
state securities laws, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
applicable Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the
applicable Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus, (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) arise out of any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state
securities law; and the Company will reimburse such selling Investor (including
the partners, officers, directors and stockholders of such Investor) or such
controlling Person for any legal or other expenses (but in no event for more
than one law firm) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, nor
shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, damage,
liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in connection with the applicable Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements
to the applicable Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus, (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with the applicable
Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or
any amendments or supplements to the applicable Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus by the selling Investors, any
broker/dealer acting on their behalf or controlling person with respect to them
or (ii) the plan of distribution described in Section 5(b).

                  (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Investor will
severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
Affiliates, each of their respective directors, officers, partners, members and
stockholders, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act, any broker/dealer, any underwriter and all other selling
Investors, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
Company

                                       5

or any such Affiliate, director, officer, partner, member, stockholder,
controlling Person, broker/dealer, underwriter or such other selling Investor
may become subject to, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other
Federal securities laws, Blue Sky Laws, or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the
applicable Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus, (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) arise out of any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state
securities law, in each case to the extent and only to the extent (i) that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
made in the applicable Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the
applicable Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with (A) written information
furnished by the selling Investor expressly for use in connection with the
applicable Registration Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus or any such amendment or supplement, or (B) the plan of distribution
described in Section 5(b), or (ii) such Investor fails to comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in
connection with sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to the applicable
Registration Statement; and such selling Investor will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such Affiliate,
director, officer, partner, member, stockholder, controlling Person,
broker/dealer, underwriter or other selling Investor in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,
provided, however, that the liability of each selling Investor hereunder (when
aggregated with amounts contributed, if any, pursuant to Section 7(d)) shall be
limited to the proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (the
"GROSS PROCEEDS"), and provided further, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of those selling Investor(s) against which the request for
indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties
with the consent of the indemnified party which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the indemnifying party
assumes any such defense, the indemnified party may participate in such defense
with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that the counsel
for the indemnifying party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining
to such defense or

                                       6

settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall only pay for such
indemnified party's reasonable legal fees and expenses for the period prior to
the date of its participation in such defense; provided further, however, that
the indemnified party (together with all indemnified parties which may be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one
separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if the representation of the indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual differing interests
between the indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in
such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not
be obligated to pay the fees of more than one separate counsel. The failure to
notify an indemnifying party of the commencement of any such action will not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 7 (except to the extent that such failure materially prejudiced the
indemnifying party's ability to defend such action), nor shall the omission so
to notify an indemnifying party relieve such indemnifying party of any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this
Section 7. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified
party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of a general release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation and otherwise in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided in this Section 7 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that shall have resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall any contribution by an
Investor under this Section 7(d), when aggregated with amounts paid, if any,
pursuant to Section 7(b), exceed the Gross Proceeds. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

                  (e) The obligations of the Company and Investors under this
Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares
pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement under Section 3.

               8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making
available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell the
Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use
reasonable efforts: (a) to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in the General Instructions to Form S-3, or any
successor or substitute form, and in Rule 144; (b) to file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer
of securities registered under the Securities Act

                                       7

or the Exchange Act; and (c) undertake any additional actions reasonably
necessary to maintain the availability of the applicable Registration Statement
or the use of Rule 144.

               9. SELLING PROCEDURES. Any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant
to a Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be
subject to the following conditions and procedures:

                  (a) Updating the Prospectus.

                      (i) If the Company informs the selling Investor that
                 the Registration Statement or final prospectus then on file
                 with the SEC is not current or otherwise does not comply
                 with the Securities Act, the Company shall use its
                 reasonable best efforts to provide to the selling Investor a
                 current prospectus that complies with the Securities Act as
                 soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3)
                 business days after delivery of such notice.

                      (ii) If the Company requires more than three (3)
                 business days to update the prospectus under Section 9(a)(i)
                 above, the Company shall have the right to delay the
                 preparation of a current prospectus that complies with the
                 Securities Act without explanation to such Investor, subject
                 to the limitations set forth in Section 9(b) below, for a
                 period of not more than sixty (60) days (or two periods
                 which total not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate)
                 during any twelve-month period.

                  (b) General. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that
     may be to the contrary, upon (i) any request by the SEC or any other
     federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness
     of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the
     Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information
     relating to the Registration Statement, (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any
     other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
     the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
     proceedings for that purpose, (iii) the receipt by the Company of any
     notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
     exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in
     any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
     such purpose, (iv) the happening of any event which makes any statement
     made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document
     incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in
     any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the
     Registration Statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the
     Registration Statement, it 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 not misleading, and
     that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement
     of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
     make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
     they were made, not misleading or (v) the determination of the Company's
     Board of Directors that it is advisable to suspend use of the prospectus
     for a discrete period of time due to pending corporate developments, public
     filings with the Commission or that there exists material nonpublic
     information about the Company that the Board of Directors, acting in good
     faith, determines not to disclose in a registration statement, the Company,
     in each such case, may suspend use of the related prospectus (each a
     "SUSPENSION"), in which case the

                                       8

     Company shall promptly so notify each Investor and each Investor shall not
     dispose of Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or
     prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are
     distributed to the Investors or until the Investors are advised in writing
     by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed;
     provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
     suspend use of the prospectus pursuant to Sections 9(a)(ii), 9(b)(iv) and
     9(b)(v), and an Investor may be prohibited from selling or otherwise
     disposing of the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement
     or prospectus, on not more than two occasions in total during any
     twelve-month period and for no more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate
     during any such twelve-month period. The Company shall use its reasonable
     best efforts to ensure the use of the prospectus may be resumed as soon as
     practicable. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
     the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
     Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the
     qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the securities
     for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment. The
     Company shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause
     (iv), prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
     Statement or a supplement to 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 Shares
     being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement
     of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
     statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
     made, not misleading.

                  (c) Each Investor agrees that it will comply with the
     prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it
     in connection with sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration
     Statement. Each Investor further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from
     the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section
     9(a) or 9(b), such Investor will discontinue disposition of such
     Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement until such Investor's
     receipt of the copies of the supplemented prospectus or amended
     Registration Statement, or until it is advised in writing by the Company
     that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
     case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
     are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such
     prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate
     stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.

              10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to the
other in any manner by any warranties, representations, agreements or covenants
except as specifically set forth herein or therein. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents supersede any previous agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

               11. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) Amendment and Waiver. Unless a particular provision or
