Preferred Shares in Tranche B shall be correspondingly increased so that the
total consideration for the Preferred Shares in Tranche A and Tranche B shall
equal $15,250,000.

otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments). No other written information provided by or on behalf of the
Company to the Investor which is not included in the SEC Documents, including,
without

                                       9

limitation, information referred to in Section 3.2(b) of this Agreement,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents have provided the Investor with any material, nonpublic
information which was not publicly disclosed prior to the date hereof.

            (g) ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in Schedule
3.1(g) or the SEC Documents filed at least five (5) days prior to the date
hereof, since December 31, 1998 there has been no adverse change or adverse
development in the business, properties, assets, operations, financial
condition, prospects, liabilities or results of operations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries which has had or, to the knowledge of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any
steps, to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company or
its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors
intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.

            (h) ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company,
the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or
the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
(i) except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(h) and (ii) except which individually
and in the aggregate, respectively, would be reasonably likely to result in
liability to the Company in excess of $50,000 and $100,000, respectively.

            (i) ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING INVESTOR'S PURCHASE OF SHARES. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the
capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further
acknowledges that the Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary
of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice
given by the Investor or any of its respective representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor's purchase of the
Preferred Shares. The Company further represents to the Investor that the
Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

            (j) NO UNDISCLOSED EVENTS, LIABILITIES, DEVELOPMENTS OR
CIRCUMSTANCES. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or
exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective
business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would
be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a
registration statement filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by
the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly disclosed.

            (k) NO INSIDE INFORMATION. The Company has not provided and, the
Company shall not provide, any Investor with any material non-public
information. This Agreement and

                                       10
<PAGE>

the transactions contemplated hereby do not constitute material events or
transactions pertaining to the Company and do not require public disclosure
pursuant to applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of the
NASD.

            (l) NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of
Preferred Shares to the Investor to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable shareholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of
the Principal Market, nor will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any
action or steps that would cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated
with other offerings.

            (m) EMPLOYEE RELATIONS. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened, the effect
of which would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective
bargaining agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that relations
between the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective employees are
good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) whose
departure would be adverse to the Company has notified the Company that such
officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's
employment with the Company.

            (n) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Company and its Subsidiaries
own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names,
service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent
rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their respective
businesses as now conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n), none of the
Company's trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations,
service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses,
approvals, government authorizations, trade secrets or other intellectual
property rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to expire or
terminate within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. The Company and
its Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or
its Subsidiaries of trademark, trade name rights, patents, patent rights,
copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks, service mark
registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of others, or of any such
development of similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by
others and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n), there is no claim, action or
proceeding being made or brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, being
threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademarks, trade
name rights, patents, patent rights, inventions, copyrights, licenses, service
names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secrets or other
infringement. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
intellectual properties.

            (o) ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in
compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws
and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"), (ii) have received all

                                       11
<PAGE>

permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in
compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval
where such noncompliance or failure to receive permits, licenses or approvals
referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above could have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

            (p) TITLE. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all
personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as are described in Schedule 3.1(p) or such as do not
materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

            (q) INSURANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured
by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not materially and adversely affect the condition,
financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business or operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

            (r) REGULATORY PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all
material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities, necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any such certificate, authorization or permit.

            (s) INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset
accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

            (t) FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. Neither the Company, nor any
director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the
Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of acting for, or on behalf of, the
Company, directly or indirectly used any corporate funds for any unlawful
contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses

                                       12
<PAGE>

relating to political activity; directly or indirectly made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of
the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or any similar
treaties of the United States; or directly or indirectly made any bribe, rebate,
payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or
domestic government or party official or employee.

            (u) TAX STATUS. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(u), the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all United States federal and
state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any
jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the Company is not aware of any basis
for any such claim.

            (v) CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(v) and
in the SEC Documents filed on EDGAR at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the
date hereof and except for arm's length transactions pursuant to which the
Company makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less
favorable than the Company could obtain from third parties and other than the
grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3.1(c), none of the officers,
directors or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

            (w) DILUTIVE EFFECT. The Company understands and acknowledges that
the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares
purchased pursuant to this Agreement will increase in certain circumstances. The
Company further acknowledges that, subject to such limitations as are expressly
set forth in the Transaction Documents, its obligation (x) to issue Preferred
Shares on exercise of the options contained in Articles I and II hereof, and (y)
to issue Common Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares purchased pursuant to
this Agreement, is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect
that such issuances may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of
the Company.

            (x) APPLICATION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTIONS. The Company and its board
of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or any other
similar anti-takeover provision contained in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable to the Investor
as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including,
without

                                       13
<PAGE>

limitation, the Company's issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Investor's
ownership of the Preferred Shares.

            (y) RIGHTS PLAN. Except for the Amended and Restated Share Rights
Agreement dated July 24, 1997, as amended through the date of this Agreement,
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has adopted a shareholder rights
plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of
Common Stock or a change in control of the Company. The Company confirms that no
provision of such plan or similar or successor plan will, under any present or
future circumstances, delay, prevent or interfere with the performance of any of
the Company's obligations under the Transaction Documents and such plan will not
be "triggered" by such performance, including, without limitation, the exercise
of any Put or Call, the sale of any Preferred Shares, or the conversion of any
Preferred Shares.

            (z) MARKET CAPITALIZATION. As of the date hereof, the aggregate
market value of the voting common equity of the Company held by non-affiliates
of the Company is greater than $150 million and on the date of the filing of the
Registration Statement, such aggregate market value shall be greater than $150
million as of a date within 60 days prior to such filing.

            (aa) OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. Each of the Company and the Investor
agrees that, subject only to the conditions, qualifications and exceptions (if
any) specifically set forth in the Transaction Documents, its obligations under
the Transaction Documents are unconditional and absolute. Except to the extent
(if any) specifically set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party's
obligations thereunder are not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim,
delay or reduction.

            (bb) ISSUANCE OF COMMON SHARES. The Common Shares are duly
authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in
accordance with the Certificate (including receipt by the Company of the
Preferred Shares or being converted or a lost stock affidavit), such Common
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of
any and all liens, claims and encumbrances, and entitled to be traded on the
Principal Market or the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange,
or the Nasdaq small cap market (collectively with the Principal Market, the
"APPROVED MARKETS"), and the holders of such Common Shares shall be entitled to
all rights and preferences accorded to a holder of Common Stock. As of the date
of this Agreement, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are currently listed
on the Principal Market.

            (cc) FORM S-3. The Company is eligible to file the Registration
Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) for secondary
offerings on Form S-3 (as in effect on the date of this Agreement) under the
1933 Act and rules promulgated thereunder, and Form S-3 (as in effect on the
date of this Agreement) is permitted to be used for the transactions
contemplated hereby under the 1933 Act and rules promulgated thereunder.

      Section 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor,
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of
the date hereof, on the date of the First Call Notice or the Second Call Notice
(each a "Call Notice") and on the date of any Closing:

                                       14
<PAGE>

            (a) ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS; SOPHISTICATED INVESTOR. The Investor
is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D under the 1933 Act. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of investment in the Preferred Shares and Common Shares.

            (b) INFORMATION. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company which have been requested and materials relating to the offer and
sale of the Preferred Shares and Common Shares which have been requested by the
Investor. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor's right
to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1
above. The Investor understands that its investment in the Preferred Shares and
Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Preferred
Shares and Common Shares.

            (c) NO GOVERNMENTAL REVIEW. The Investor understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Preferred Shares
and Common Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the
Preferred Shares and Common Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or
endorsed the merits of the offering of the Preferred Shares and Common Shares.

            (d) LEGENDS. The Company shall issue certificates for the Preferred
Shares and Common Shares to the Investor without any legend except as described
in Article VII below. The Investor covenants that, in connection with any
transfer of Common Shares by the Investor pursuant to the registration statement
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, it will comply with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act, provided that
copies of a current prospectus relating to such effective registration statement
are or have been supplied to the Investor.

            (e) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered
on behalf of the Investor and are valid and binding agreements of the Investor
enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their terms, subject as to
enforceability to general principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors'
rights and remedies. The Investor has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and each other agreement entered into by the
parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

            (f) RESIDENCY. The Investor is a resident of the Cayman Islands or
such other jurisdiction as the Company shall be advised of in writing by the
Investor.

                                       15
<PAGE>

            (g) NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Investor and the
consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
will not result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or
other documents of organization of the Investor.

            (h) INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. If purchasing Preferred Shares
pursuant to this Agreement, the Investor will be purchasing such Preferred
Shares for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of
any securities laws. The Investor has been advised and understands that neither
the Preferred Shares nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
thereof have been registered under the 1933 Act or under the "blue sky" laws of
any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions
of the 1933 Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under
circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required
by law. The Investor has been advised and understands that the Company in
issuing the Preferred Shares is relying upon, among other things, the
representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Section 3.2 in
concluding that such issuance is a "private offering" and is exempt from the
registration provisions of the 1933 Act.

            (i) RULE 144. The Investor understands that there is no public
trading market for the Preferred Shares, that none is expected to develop, and
that the Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely unless and until such
Preferred Shares or Common Shares received upon conversion thereof are
registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration is available.
The Investor has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act.

            (j) BROKERS. The Investor has taken no action which would give rise
to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments by the Company or the Investor relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

            (k) RELIANCE BY THE COMPANY. The Investor understands that the
Preferred Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional
exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such
exemptions and the suitability of the Investor to acquire the Preferred Shares.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    COVENANTS

      Section 4.1 Registration and Listing; Effective Registration. Until such
time as no Preferred Shares or options to sell or acquire Preferred Shares
pursuant to Articles I or II, are outstanding, the Company will cause the Common
Stock to continue at all times to be registered under Sections 12(b) or (g) of
the Exchange Act, will comply in all material respects with its reporting and
filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and will not take any action or file
any document (whether or not permitted by the Exchange Act or the rules
thereunder) to terminate or suspend such reporting and filing obligations. Until
such time as no Preferred Shares are

                                       16
<PAGE>

outstanding, the Company shall continue the listing or trading of the Common
Stock on the Principal Market or one of the other Approved Markets and comply in
all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the Approved Market on which the Common Stock is
listed. The Company shall cause the Common Shares to be listed on the Principal
Market or one of the other Approved Markets no later than the effectiveness of
the registration of the Common Shares under the Act, and shall continue such
listing(s) on one of the Approved Markets, for so long as any Preferred Shares
are outstanding.

      Section 4.2 Certificates on Conversion. Upon any conversion by the
Investor (or then holder of Preferred Shares) of the Preferred Shares pursuant
to the Certificate, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor (or
holder) within three (3) Trading Days of the conversion date a new certificate
or certificates for the number of Preferred Shares which the Investor (or
holder) has not yet elected to convert but which are evidenced in part by the
certificate(s) submitted to the Company in connection with such conversion (with
the denominations of such new certificate(s) designated by the Investor or
holder).

      Section 4.3 Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s) representing the
Preferred Shares held by any Investor (or then holder) may be exchanged by the
Investor (or such holder) at any time and from time to time for certificates
with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of Preferred
Shares, as requested by the Investor (or such holder) upon surrendering the
same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or
exchange.

      Section 4.4 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the SEC and
the Principal Market, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate and the Registration Rights
Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be
required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and
valid issuance of the Preferred Shares hereunder and the Common Shares issuable
upon conversion thereof.

      Section 4.5 Notices. The Company agrees to provide all holders of
Preferred Shares with copies of all notices and information, including without
limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that
are provided to the holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with
the delivery of such notices or information to such Common Stock holders.

      Section 4.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees that the net proceeds
received by the Company from the sale of the Preferred Shares hereunder shall be
used for legally permitted corporate purposes.

      Section 4.7 Reservation Preferred Shares; Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.

            (a) The Company shall reserve all authorized but unissued Series F
Preferred Stock for issuance to the Investor pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

            (b) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from

                                       17
<PAGE>

time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all Preferred Shares, and
if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the then Preferred
Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose,
including without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
shareholder approval. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Company
agrees to reserve and at all times keep available solely for purposes of
conversion of Preferred Shares, such number of authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock that is at least equal to 200% of the number of Common Shares
issuable upon conversion of all Preferred Shares. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the
conversion, up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance (as defined in Section 4.16
below), of all the then outstanding Preferred Shares, the Investor shall be
entitled to, INTER ALIA, the redemption rights provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement.

      Section 4.8 Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to
satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Article VI of this Agreement.

      Section 4.9 Form D; Blue Sky Laws. Upon a sale of Preferred Shares to the
Investor, the Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Preferred
Shares and Common Shares, as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy
thereof to the Investor promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or
before the date of any Closing, take such action as the Company shall have
reasonably determined is necessary to qualify the Preferred Shares and Common
Shares for sale to the Investor under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws
of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
Investor on or prior to such Closing; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required in connection therewith to register or qualify as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action that would subject it to service of process in suits or taxation, in each
case, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

      Section 4.10 Update Filings. The Company shall make such filings as shall
be required to update any current registration statements filed pursuant to the
Series E Transaction Documents to reflect this Agreement and the transaction
contemplated hereby.

      Section 4.11 Shareholder Rights Plan. None of the acquisitions of
Preferred Shares or Common Shares nor the deemed beneficial ownership of shares
of Common Stock prior to, or the acquisition of such shares pursuant to, the
conversion of Preferred shares will in any event under any circumstances trigger
the poison pill provisions of any stockholders' rights or similar agreements, or
a substantially similar occurrence under any successor or similar plan.

      Section 4.12 Issuances of Preferred Shares. The Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Investor, issue any Preferred Shares to any
persons other than the Investor.

      Section 4.13 Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the
following to the Investor for so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding:
(i) on the same day as the release thereof, facsimile or e-mail copies of all
press releases issued by the Company or any of its

                                       18
<PAGE>

Subsidiaries; and (ii) copies of any notices and other information made
available or given to the shareholders of the Company generally,
contemporaneously with the making available or giving thereof to the
shareholders.

      Section 4.14 Transactions With Affiliates. The Company agrees that any
transaction or arrangement between it or any of its subsidiaries and any
affiliate or employee of the Company shall be effected on an arms' length basis
in accordance with customary commercial practice and, except with respect to
grants of options and stock to service providers, including employees, shall be
approved by a majority of the Company's outside directors.

      Section 4.15 Restrictions On Short Sales. So long as the Investor owns
Preferred Shares, the Investor will not sell short the Company's Common Stock if
as a result of such sale the Investor's net short position in the Company's
Common Stock would exceed the Investor's good faith estimate of the amount of
Common Shares that the Investor then has the right to acquire pursuant to
conversion of any Preferred Shares owned by the Investor or issuable to the
Investor upon conversion of Preferred Shares acquired upon exercise of any Put
or Call, pursuant to the conversion of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock
owned by the Investor or issuable to the Investor upon conversation of shares of
Series E Preferred Stock acquired upon exercise of any put or call, or pursuant
to the exercise of any warrants held by the Investor or any affiliate of the
Investor.

      Section 4.16 Overall Limit on Common Stock Issuable. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of Common Shares issuable
by the Company and acquirable by the Investor hereunder pursuant to conversion
of the Preferred Shares shall not exceed 4,941,744 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of the date hereof, or such smaller amount as shall apply under
the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") if
the NASD integrates the issuance of the Preferred Shares with the issuance of
other securities by the Company, subject to appropriate adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations or other similar recapitalization
affecting the Common Stock (the "MAXIMUM COMMON STOCK ISSUANCE"), unless the
issuance of shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance
shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with
applicable law and the By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such shareholders' approval
must duly authorize the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock
totaling the Maximum Common Stock Issuance or more of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date hereof. The parties understand and agree that the
Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way
adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of
Preferred Shares hereunder, and that such approval pertains only to the
applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this
Section. The Company agrees to provide, upon request by the Investor,
information on the number reserved shares of Common Stock which may be issued
without exceeding the Maximum Common Stock Issuance. In the event that Common
Shares may not be issued without exceeding the Maximum Common Stock Issuance,
then the Company shall thereupon use its best efforts to obtain shareholder
approval to issue the Common Shares in excess of the Maximum Common Stock
Issuance within 90 days of such deficiency (the "Approval Period"). In the event
that such approval is not obtained by the end of the Approval Period, the
Investor shall be entitled to the conversion deficiency remedies set forth in
Section 2(b)(iv) of the Registration Rights Agreement. If a conversion notice
for

                                       19
<PAGE>

Preferred Shares is tendered by the Investor during the Approval Period, then
the Investor shall be entitled to the difference between (A) the closing bid
price of the Common Stock on the date preceding the date of the Conversion
Notice multiplied by the number of Common Shares issued upon such conversion and
(B) the aggregate conversion price of such Common Shares.

      Section 4.17 Right of First Refusal. From the date hereof until the Second
Call Expiration Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall: offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise issue or deliver or dispose of any capital stock
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or securities convertible into, exchangeable
for or exercisable for, or which derive any substantial portion of their value
from, capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary ("Equity Securities") or
engage in a financing involving its Equity Securities (other than a transaction
involving the grant of employee stock options pursuant to an employee stock
option plan currently in effect, an employee stock purchase plan currently in
effect, a joint venture or strategic investment entered into with another entity
in the same or complementary line of business, an investment by a corporation
which is not an institutional investor, investment company or similar such
entity, or a bona fide public offering other than an equity line) unless such
offer, sale or financing ("FINANCING TRANSACTION") is first offered to the
Investor on the same terms and conditions to be offered to the non-Investor;
provided, however, that in the case of an offer consisting in whole or in part
of consideration other than cash, the Investor shall have the right to offer the
fair market value cash equivalent of such offer. The Company shall make such
offer by providing the Investor with written notice of the Company's intention
to enter into the Financing Transaction together with a term sheet containing
the economic terms and significant provisions of the Financing Transaction,
promptly following receipt of such terms from a third party, and any other
information reasonably requested by the Investor (the "OFFER"). Such Offer shall
be given with respect to each Financing Transaction contemplated by the Company.
The Investor shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the Offer to deliver a
written notice to the Company that the Investor wishes to accept the Offer in
whole or in part (subject to reasonable acceptable definitive documentation) for
the Financing Transaction. If the Investor does not accept the Offer in whole or
in part or fails to respond within such ten (10) day period, then the Company
shall be permitted to complete such Financing Transaction without the Investor
on terms and conditions substantially identical to those contained in the Offer,
provided that the transaction is consummated within ninety (90) days of receipt
of the Offer. If the Investor accepts such Offer in whole or in part, the
consummation of such transaction with the Investor shall occur by the later of:
(i) the time originally provided by the Financing Transaction with the third
party or (ii) 30 days from the receipt of the Investor's notice. If any
Financing Transaction is contemplated on terms and conditions not substantially
identical to those contained in the Offer, then such Financing Transaction shall
be deemed a new Financing Transaction and the Investor shall again be entitled
to receive an Offer for such Financing Transaction on such new terms and
conditions (and/or with such new definitive documentation if applicable).

                                    ARTICLE V

                          TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

      The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent,
and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Common Shares in such
amounts as specified from time to time

                                       20
<PAGE>

by the Investor to the Company upon delivery of a conversion notice (the
"IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS"). The Company warrants that no
instruction relating to the Common Shares other than the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions referred to in this Article V will be given by the Company to
its transfer agent and that the Common Shares shall be freely transferable on
the books and records of the Company as contemplated by Article VII below when
the legend referred to therein may be removed. Nothing in this Article V shall
affect in any way the Investor's obligations and agreements set forth in Section
3.2(d) to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any,
upon resale of the Common Shares. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent
to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by the Investor and without any restrictive legends. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Investor by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled,
in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                LEGEND AND STOCK

      Upon payment therefor as provided in this Agreement, the Company will
issue one or more certificates representing the Preferred Shares in the name of
the Investor or its designees and in such denominations to be specified by the
Investor prior to (or from time to time subsequent to) each Closing. Each
certificate representing the Preferred Shares and any Common Shares issued upon
conversion thereof, prior to such Common Shares being registered under the 1933
Act for resale or available for resale under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following
form:

      THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR OFFER OR SALE UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OFFERED FOR SALE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM
SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.

      The Company agrees to reissue Preferred Shares without the legend set
forth above at such time as (i) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of
such Preferred Shares and/or Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, or (ii) such Preferred Shares are sold to a
purchaser or purchasers who (in the opinion of counsel to the seller or such
purchaser(s), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
its counsel) are able to dispose of such shares publicly without registration
under the Act.

      Prior to the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) being declared effective, any Common Shares issued pursuant to
conversion of Preferred Shares shall bear a legend in the same form as the
legend indicated above; provided that such legend shall be removed from the
Common Shares and the Company shall issue new certificates without such legend
if (i) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Common Shares pursuant
to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) such Common Shares are registered for
resale under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such Common Shares are sold to a purchaser
or purchasers who (in the opinion of counsel to the seller or such purchaser(s),
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel)
are able to dispose of such shares publicly without registration under the 1933
Act. Upon such Registration Statement becoming effective, the Company agrees to
promptly, but no later than three (3) business days thereafter, issue new
certificates representing such Common Shares without such legend. Any Common
Shares issued after the Registration Statement has become effective shall be
free and clear of any legends, transfer restrictions and stop orders.
Notwithstanding the removal of such legend, the Investor agrees to sell the
Common Shares represented by the new certificates in accordance with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements (if copies of a current prospectus
are provided to the Investor by the Company) or in accordance with an exemption
from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

                                       24

      Nothing herein shall limit the right of any holder to pledge these
securities pursuant to a bona fide margin account or lending arrangement entered
into in compliance with law, including applicable securities laws.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                   TERMINATION

      Section 8.1 Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be
terminated at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of the
Company and the Investor.

      Section 8.2 Other Termination. In the event that a Closing shall not have
occurred within ten business days of the date of receipt of the relevant Put or
Call Notice due to the failure by one party (the "Defaulting Party") to satisfy
the closing conditions applicable to it, then the other party (the
"Non-Defaulting Party") may at its option, terminate the Defaulting Party's
right to acquire pursuant to a Call or sell (pursuant to a Put), as the case may
be, the Preferred Shares in the relevant Tranche. In the event that the Investor
is the Defaulting Party, then if its right to purchase the relevant Tranche is
terminated, its rights under Section 4.17 shall terminate at the same time.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      In consideration of the Investor's execution and delivery of the this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and acquiring the Preferred
Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under
the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless the Investor and all of its partners, officers, directors, employees,
members and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's
agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the "INDEMNITIEES") from and against any and all actions, causes
of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and
damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such
Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the
"INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or
any other certificate or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach
of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such
Indemnitee by a third party and arising out of or resulting from (i) the
execution, delivery, performance, breach by the Company or enforcement of the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance
of the Preferred Shares or (iii) the status of the Investor or holder of the
Preferred Shares as an investor in the Company, and (d) the enforcement of this
Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not
include any liability of any

                                       25
<PAGE>

Indemnitee arising solely out of such Indemnitee's willful misconduct or
fraudulent action(s). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and
obligations under this Article IX shall be the same as those set forth in
Section 6 (other than Section 6(b)) of the Registration Rights Agreement,
including, without limitation, those procedures with respect to the settlement
of claims and Company's right to assume the defense of claims.

                                   ARTICLE X

                          GOVERNING LAW, MISCELLANEOUS.

TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

      Section 10.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature
shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory
thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not
a facsimile signature.

      Section 10.3 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience
of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

      Section 10.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or

remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

      Section 10.5 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers.

            (a) This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written
agreements between the Investor, the Company, their affiliates and persons
acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this
Agreement and the instruments referenced herein (including the other Transaction
Documents) contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein
or therein, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by
the Company and the Investor, and no provision hereof may be waived other than
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought.

            (b) The Investor may at any time elect, by notice to the Company, to
waive (whether permanently or temporarily, and subject to such conditions, if
any, as the Investor may specify in such notice) any of its rights under any of
the Transaction Documents to acquire shares of Common Stock from the Company, in
which event such waiver shall be binding against the Investor in accordance with
its terms; provided, however, that the voluntary waiver contemplated by this
sentence may not reduce the Investor's obligations to the Company under the
Transaction Documents.

      Section 10.6 Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Agreement must be in writing, must be delivered by (i) courier, mail or hand

contained in the Transaction Documents, the Investor shall be entitled to pledge
the Preferred Shares and/or Common Shares in connection with a bona fide margin
account.

transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations (although the
Investor shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press
release or other public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided
with a copy thereof).

brokers engaged, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the Investor,
respectively, in connection with the purchase of the Shares by the Investor. The

other rights granted by law. The Investor and each Permitted Assignee without
prejudice may withdraw, revoke or suspend its pursuit of any remedy at any time
prior to its complete recovery as a result of such remedy.

      Section 10.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to the Investor hereunder or the Registration Rights
Agreement or the Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force

in its sole discretion may rescind or withdraw from time to time any relevant
notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future
actions and rights.

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of June 30,

Call Agreement"), the Company may, pursuant to the Company's put rights or the
Investor's call rights thereunder, sell to the Investor 15,250 shares of the
Company's Series F 4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Shares") in two separate Tranches (each a "Tranche"); and

      Whereas, the Put and Call Agreement contemplates that the Preferred Shares
will be convertible into shares (the "Common Shares") of common stock, par value
$0.01, of the Company ("Common Stock") pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Shares (the
"Certificate"); and

      Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations,
warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in the Put and Call Agreement and
this Agreement, the Company and the Investors agree as follows:

      1. Certain Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Put and Call Agreement or
the Certificate. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the

and Call Agreement.

            "Commission" or "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities
Act.

            "Holder" and "Holders" shall include the Investor and any transferee
or transferees of the Preferred Shares, Common Shares or Registrable Securities
which have not been sold to the public to whom the registration rights conferred
by this Agreement have been transferred in compliance with this Agreement and
the Put and Call Agreement.

            The terms "register", "registered" and "registration" shall refer to

securities issued or issuable to each Holder or its permitted transferee or
designee upon conversion of the Preferred Shares; (ii) securities issued or
issuable upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event
with respect to such Common Shares; and (iii) any other security issued as a
dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in
replacement of the securities referred to in the preceding clauses.

            "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses to be incurred by
the Company in connection with each Holder's registration rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky

(using a single counsel selected by a majority in interest of the Holders) for a
"due diligence" examination of the Company and review of the Registration
Statement and related documents, and the expense of any special audits incident
to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of
regular employees of the Company, which shall be paid in any event by the
Company).

            "Registration Statement" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
2(a) herein.

            "Regulation D" shall mean Regulation D as promulgated pursuant to
the Securities Act, and as subsequently amended.

            "Securities Act" or "Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

            "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling
commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and all fees and
disbursements of counsel for Holders not included within "Registration
Expenses".

      2. Registration Requirements. The Company shall use its best efforts to
effect the registration of the Registrable Securities (including, without
limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments,
appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities
laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the
Securities Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale or distribution of all
the Registrable Securities in the manner (including manner of sale) and in all
states reasonably requested by the Holder. Such best efforts by the Company
shall include, without limitation, the following:

            (a) The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible after the
Closing of the purchase of each Tranche:

                  i) But in any event within 30 days of the date of each Closing
            of the purchase of a Tranche of Preferred Shares under the Put and
            Call Agreement (a "Tranche Closing Date"), prepare and file a
            registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 415
            under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in
            the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such
            other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities
            Act) covering resales by the Holders of the Registrable Securities
            included in such Tranche (a "Registration Statement"), which
            Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities
            Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall
            state that such

                                       2
<PAGE>

            Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of
            additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon
            conversion of the Preferred Shares in such Tranche. All references
            herein to "Registration Statement" shall refer to the Registration
            Statements covering the Registrable Securities in each Tranche. The
            number of shares of Common Stock initially included in a
            Registration Statement shall be no less than the sum of two times
            the number of Common Shares that are then issuable upon conversion
            of the Preferred Shares included in the Tranche. Nothing in the
            preceding sentence will limit the Company's obligations to reserve
            shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Put and Call
            Agreement. Thereafter the Company shall use its best efforts to
            cause such Registration Statement and other filings to be declared
            effective as soon as possible, and in any event prior to 60 days
            following the Tranche Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing,
            the Company will promptly respond to all SEC comments, inquiries and
            requests, and shall request acceleration of effectiveness at the
            earliest possible date. The Company shall provide the Holders
            reasonable opportunity to review any such Registration Statement or
            amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing.

                  ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
            supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used
            in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary
            to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
            disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement
            and notify the Holders of the filing and effectiveness of such
            Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements.

                  iii) Furnish to each Holder such numbers of copies of a
            current prospectus conforming with the requirements of the Act,
            copies of the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement
            thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and such
            other documents as such Holder may reasonably require in order to
            facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such
            Holder.

                  iv) Register and qualify the securities covered by such
            Registration Statement under the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of
            all domestic jurisdictions; provided 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.

                  v) Notify each Holder immediately of the happening of any
            event (but not the substance or details of any such events unless
            specifically requested by a Holder) as a result of which the
            prospectus (including any supplements thereto or thereof) included
            in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
            untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
            required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

                                       3
<PAGE>

            therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,
            and use its best efforts to promptly update and/or correct such
            prospectus.

                  vi) Notify each Holder immediately of the issuance by the
            Commission or any state securities commission or agency of any stop
            order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
            the threat or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The
            Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
            stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting
            thereof at the earliest possible time.

                  vii) Permit counsel to the Holders to review the Registration
            Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto within a
            reasonable period of time (but not less than 2 full Trading Days (as
            defined in the Certificate)) prior to each filing, and shall not
            file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects
            and will not request acceleration of the Registration Statement
            without prior notice to such counsel.

                  viii) List the Registrable Securities covered by such
            Registration Statement with all securities exchange(s) and/or
            markets on which the Common Stock is then listed and prepare and
            file any required filings with the Nasdaq National Market or any
            exchange or market where the Common Shares are traded.

                  ix) Take all steps necessary to enable Holders to avail
            themselves of the prospectus delivery mechanism set forth in Rule
            153 (or successor thereto) under the Act.

            (b) Set forth below in this Section 2(b) are (I) events that may
arise that the Investors consider will interfere with the full enjoyment of
their rights under this Agreement, the Put and Call Agreement and the
Certificate (the "Interfering Events"), and (II) certain remedies applicable in
each of these events.

                  Paragraphs (i) through (iv) of this Section 2(b) describe the
Interfering Events, provide a remedy to the Investors if an Interfering Event
occurs and provide that the Investors may require that the Company repurchase
outstanding Preferred Shares at a specified price if certain Interfering Events
are not timely cured.

                  Paragraph (v) provides, inter alia, that if default
adjustments required as the remedy in the case of certain of the Interfering
Events are not provided when due, the Company may be required by the Investors
to redeem outstanding Preferred Shares at a specified price.

                  Paragraph (vi) provides, inter alia, that the Investors have
the right to specific performance.

                  The preceding paragraphs in this Section 2(b) are meant to
serve only as an introduction to this Section 2(b), are for convenience only,
and are not to be considered in applying, construing or interpreting this
Section 2(b).

                  i) Delay in Effectiveness of Registration Statement.

                        (A) In the event that such Registration Statement has
                  not been declared effective within 60 days from the Tranche
                  Closing Date, then the Company shall pay each Holder a Monthly
                  Delay Payment (as defined below) for each 30 day period (or
                  portion thereof) that effectiveness of the Registration
                  Statement is delayed. In addition to the foregoing, if the
                  Registration Statement has not been declared effective within
                  120 days after the Tranche Closing Date, then each Holder
                  shall have the right to sell, at any time after the 120th day
                  after the Tranche Closing Date, any or all of its Preferred
                  Shares to the Company for consideration (the "Mandatory
                  Repurchase Price") equal to the greater of (x) 120% of the
                  Liquidation Preference of all such Preferred Shares being sold
                  to the Company or (y) the Liquidation Preference for the
                  Preferred Shares being sold to the Company divided by the then
                  applicable Conversion Price multiplied by the greater of the
                  last closing price of the Common Stock on (i) the date a
                  Holder exercises its option pursuant to this Section 2(b) to
                  require repurchase of Preferred Shares or (ii) the date on
                  which the event triggering Holder's remedies under this
                  Section 2(b) first occurred, in each case payable in cash.

                        (B) As used in this Agreement, a "Monthly Delay Payment"
                  shall be a cash payment equal to 1% of the Liquidation
                  Preference of the Preferred Shares held by a Holder for the
                  first 30 day period (or portion thereof) that the specified
                  condition in this Section 2(b) has not been fulfilled or the
                  specified deficiency has not been remedied and 2% of such
                  Liquidation Preference thereafter for each subsequent 30 day
                  period (or portion thereof) that the specified condition in
                  this Section 2(b) has not been fulfilled or the specified
                  deficiency has not been remedied. Payment of the Monthly Delay
                  Payments and Mandatory Repurchase Price shall be due and
                  payable from the Company to such Holder within 5 business days
                  of demand therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, if cash
                  payment of the Mandatory Repurchase Price is not made within
                  such 5 business day period, the Holder may revoke and withdraw
                  its election to cause the Company to make such mandatory
                  purchase at any time prior to its receipt of such cash. At the
                  option of the Holder, Monthly Delay Payments may be added to
                  the Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Shares held by it.

                        (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be
                  excluded from the calculation of the number of days that the

                  in the Investors providing information required for the
                  Registration Statement.

                  ii) No Listing; Premium Price Redemption for Delisting of
            Class of Shares.

                        (A) In the event that the Company fails, refuses or for
                  any other reason is unable to cause the Registrable Securities
                  covered by the Registration Statement to be listed with Nasdaq
                  National Market or one of the other Approved Markets (as
                  defined in the Put and Call Agreement) at all times during the
                  period ("Listing Period") from the 60th day following the
                  Tranche Closing Date until such time as all of the Preferred
                  Shares shall have been subject to mandatory conversion
                  pursuant to the terms of the Certificate, then the Company
                  shall provide to each Holder a Monthly Delay Payment, for each
                  30 day period or portion thereof during which such listing is
                  not in effect. In addition to the foregoing, following the
                  30th day that such listing is not in effect, each Holder shall
                  have the right to sell to the Company any or all of its
                  Preferred Shares at the Mandatory Repurchase Price. The
                  provisions of Section 2(b)(i)(B) shall apply to this Section
                  2(b)(ii)(A).

                        (B) In the event that shares of Common Stock of the
                  Company are not listed on any of the Approved Markets at all
                  times following the Tranche Closing Date, or are otherwise
                  suspended from trading and remain unlisted or suspended for 5
                  consecutive days, or if the Registrable Securities are not
                  listed for 5 consecutive days following the Closing, then at
                  the option of each Holder and to the extent such Holder so
                  elects, each Holder shall have the right to sell to the
                  Company the Preferred Shares held by such Holder, in whole or
                  in part, for the Mandatory Repurchase Price on the terms set
                  forth in Section 2(b)(i)(B) above.

                  iii) Blackout Periods. In the event any Holder's ability to
            sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement is
            suspended for more than (i) five (5) consecutive days or (ii) twenty
            (20) days in any calendar year ("Suspension Grace Period"),
            including without limitation by reason of any suspension or stop
            order with respect to the Registration Statement or the fact that an
            event has occurred as a result of which the prospectus (including
            any supplements thereto) included in such Registration Statement
            then in effect includes an untrue statement of material fact or
            omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
            necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
            the circumstances then existing (a "Blackout"), then the Company
            shall provide to each Holder a Monthly Delay Payment for each 30 day
            period or portion thereof from and after the expiration of the
            Suspension

                                       6
<PAGE>

            Grace Period, on the terms set forth in Section 2(b)(i)(B) above. In
            addition, at any time following the expiration of the Suspension
            Grace Period if the Blackout continues for more than five (5)
            additional consecutive days, a Holder shall have the right to sell
            to the Company its Preferred Shares in whole or in part for the
            Mandatory Repurchase Price on the terms set forth in Section
            2(b)(i)(B) above.

                  iv) Redemption for Conversion Deficiency. In the event that
            the Company does not have a sufficient number of Common Shares
            available to satisfy the Company's obligations to any Holder upon
            receipt of a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate) or is
            otherwise unable or unwilling for any reason to issue such Common
            Shares (other than failure of the Holder to comply with the
            conversion notice and delivery requirements of Section 5 of the
            Certificate) (each, a "Conversion Deficiency") in accordance with
            the terms of the Certificate for any reason after receipt of a
            Conversion Notice from any Holder, then:

                        (A) The Company shall provide to each Holder a Monthly
                  Delay Payment for each 30 day period or portion thereof
                  following the Conversion Deficiency, on the terms set forth in
                  Section 2(b)(i)(B) above. This provision shall apply
                  regardless of whether the Preferred Shares have been
                  authorized, issued or delivered to the Holder.

                        (B) At any time five days after the commencement of the
                  running of the first 30-day period described above in clause
                  (A) of this paragraph (iv), at the request of any Holder, the
                  Company promptly (1) shall purchase from such Holder, for the
                  Mandatory Repurchase Price and on the terms set forth in
                  Section 2(b)(i)(B) above, the outstanding Preferred Shares
                  equal to such Holder's pro rata share of the Conversion
                  Deficiency, if the failure to issue Common Shares results from
                  the lack of a sufficient number thereof and (2) shall purchase
                  all of such Holder's Preferred Shares (or such portion
                  requested by such Holder) for such consideration and on such
                  terms if the failure to issue Common Shares results from any
                  other cause, or is without cause.

                        (C) In the event that the Holder shall have elected to
                  send a Conversion Notice prior to the issuance of the
                  Preferred Shares being converted, and at the time the remedy
                  set forth in paragraph (B) above shall become applicable such
                  Preferred Shares shall have remained unissued, then at the
                  request of the Holder the Company shall pay to the Holder the
                  difference between the Mandatory Repurchase Price on the terms
                  set forth in Section 2(b)(i)(B) above determined pursuant to
                  paragraph (B) above and the product of the number of Preferred
                  Shares multiplied by $1,000. The provision shall apply
                  regardless of

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  whether the failure to issue Common Shares is due to a failure
                  to issue such shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares or
                  due to a failure to issue the Preferred Shares being
                  converted.

                  v) Mandatory Purchase Price for Defaults.

                        (A) The Company acknowledges that any failure, refusal
                  or inability by the Company to perform the obligations
                  described in the foregoing paragraphs (i) through (v) will
                  cause the Holders to suffer damages in an amount that will be
                  difficult to ascertain, including without limitation damages
                  resulting from the loss of liquidity in the Registrable
                  Securities and the additional investment risk in holding the
                  Registrable Securities. Accordingly, the parties agree, after
                  consulting with counsel, that it is appropriate to include in
                  this Agreement the foregoing provisions for Monthly Delay
                  Payments and mandatory redemptions in order to compensate the
                  Holders for such damages. The parties acknowledge and agree
                  that the Monthly Delay Payments and mandatory redemptions set
                  forth above represent the parties' good faith effort to
                  quantify such damages and, as such, agree that the form and
                  amount of such payments and mandatory redemptions are
                  reasonable and will not constitute a penalty.

                        (B) In the event that the Company fails to pay any
                  Monthly Delay Payment within 5 business days of demand
                  therefor, each Holder shall have the right to sell to the
                  Company any or all of its Preferred Shares at the Mandatory
                  Repurchase Price on the terms set forth in Section 2(b)(i)(B)
                  above.

                  vi) Cumulative Remedies. The Monthly Delay Payments and
            mandatory purchases provided for above are in addition to and not in
            lieu or limitation of any other rights the Holders may have at law,
            in equity or under the terms of the Certificate, the Put and Call
            Agreement, and this Agreement, including without limitation the
            right to monetary contract damages and specific performance. Each
            Holder shall be entitled to specific performance of any and all
            obligations of the Company in connection with the registration
            rights of the Holders hereunder.

                  vii) Remedies for Registrable Securities. In any case where a
            holder of Registrable Securities would be entitled to Monthly Delay
            Payments on Preferred Shares, but for the conversion of such
            Preferred Shares into Registrable Securities, the Monthly Delay
            Payments shall accrue on the original Liquidation Preference of the
            Preferred Shares from which the Registrable Securities where
            converted. In any case in which a Holder of Preferred Shares has the
            right to cause the purchase of its Preferred Shares under this
            Section 2(b) (or would have such right but for the conversion of
            Preferred Shares), it shall have the right to cause the purchase of
            the

                                       8
<PAGE>

            Registrable Securities that it owns as follows: such shares shall be
            purchased at a price ("Common Purchase Price") equal to the
            Mandatory Repurchase Price of the Preferred Shares which were
            converted into Common Shares.

                  In the case in which a Holder of Preferred Shares would have
            the right to receive Monthly Delay Payments with respect to
            Preferred Shares under Section 2(b), it shall also have the right to
            receive payments with respect to Registrable Securities owned by it
            in an amount at the rate of the Monthly Delay Payments that would
            have applied to the Preferred Shares converted into Common Shares
            had such Preferred Shares not been converted.

            (c) If the Holder(s) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities
by means of an underwriting, the Holder(s) shall so advise the Company. Any such
underwriting may only be administered by nationally or regionally recognized
investment bankers reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

            (d) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements for
secondary offerings (including a customary underwriting agreement with the
underwriter or underwriters, if any) and take all such other reasonable actions
reasonably requested by the Holders in connection therewith in order to expedite
or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and whether or not
an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the Registrable
Securities are to be sold in an underwritten offering:

                  i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and
            the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in form, substance and
            scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
            secondary offerings;

                  ii) cause to be delivered to the sellers of Registrable
            Securities and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, opinions of
            independent counsel to the Company, on and dated as of the effective
            day of a Registration Statement, and within ninety (90) days
            following the end of each fiscal year thereafter, which counsel and
            opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably
            satisfactory to the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, and
            their counsel and covering, without limitation, such matters as the
            due authorization and issuance of the securities being registered
            and compliance with securities laws by the Company in connection
            with the authorization, issuance and registration thereof and other
            matters that are customarily given to underwriters in underwritten
            offerings, addressed to the Holders and each underwriter, if any;

                  iii) cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the
            effectiveness of a Registration Statement and at the beginning of
            each fiscal year following a year during which the Company's
            independent certified public accountants shall have reviewed any of
            the Company's books or records, a "comfort" letter from the
            Company's independent certified public accountants addressed to the
            Holders and each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants
            are independent public accountants within the meaning of the
            Securities Act and the applicable published rules and regulations
            thereunder, and otherwise in

                                       9
<PAGE>

            customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as
            are customarily covered by letters of the independent certified
            public accountants delivered in connection with secondary offerings;
            such accountants shall have undertaken in each such letter to update
            the same during each such fiscal year in which such books or records
            are being reviewed so that each such letter shall remain current,
            correct and complete throughout such fiscal year; and each such
            letter and update thereof, if any, shall be reasonably satisfactory
            to the Holders;

                  iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same
            shall include customary indemnification and contribution provisions
            to and from the underwriters and procedures for secondary
            underwritten offerings; and

                  v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be
            reasonably requested by the Holders of the Registrable Securities
            being sold or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
            evidence compliance with clause (i) above and with any customary
            conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, if any.

            (e) The Company shall make available for inspection by the Holders,
representative(s) of all the Holders together, any underwriter participating in
any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney or
accountant retained by any Holder or underwriter, all financial and other
records customary for purposes of the Holders' due diligence examination of the
Company and review of any Registration Statement, all SEC Documents (as defined
in the Put and Call Agreement) filed subsequent to the Closing, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection
with such Registration Statement, provided that such parties agree to keep such
information confidential.

            (f) Subject to Section 2(b) above, the Company may suspend the use
of any prospectus used in connection with a Registration Statement only in the
event, and for such period of time as, such a suspension is required by the
rules and regulations of the Commission. The Company will use its best efforts
to cause such suspension to terminate at the earliest possible date.

            (g) The Company shall file a Registration Statement with respect to
any newly authorized and/or reserved Registrable Securities consisting of Common
Shares described in clause (i) of the definition of Registrable Securities
within five (5) business days of any stockholders meeting authorizing same and
shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective within sixty (60) days of such stockholders meeting. If the Holders
become entitled, pursuant to an event described in clause (ii) and (iii) of the
definition of Registrable Securities, to receive any securities in respect of
Registrable Securities that were already included in a Registration Statement,
subsequent to the date such Registration Statement is declared effective, and
the Company is unable under the securities laws to add such securities to the
then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly file, in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein, an additional Registration
Statement with respect to such newly Registrable Securities. The Company shall
use its best efforts to (i) cause any such additional Registration Statement,
when filed,

                                       10
<PAGE>

to become effective under the Securities Act, and (ii) keep such additional
Registration Statement effective during the period described in Section 5 below
and cause such Registration Statement to become effective within 30 days of that
date that the need to file the Registration Statement arose. All of the
registration rights and remedies under this Agreement shall apply to the
registration of such newly reserved shares and such new Registrable Securities,
including without limitation the provisions providing for default payments and
mandatory redemptions contained herein.

      3. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses in connection with
any registration, qualification or compliance with registration pursuant to this
Agreement shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses of a Holder
shall be borne by such Holder.

      4. Registration on Form S-3. The Company shall use its best efforts to
remain qualified for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor
form or forms, or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form,
such form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act.

      5. Registration Period. In the case of the registration effected by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to
keep such registration effective until all the Holders have completed the sales
or distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto or, if
earlier, until such Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders under Rule
144(k) (provided that the Company's transfer agent has accepted an instruction
from the Company to such effect).

      6. Indemnification.

            (a) Company Indemnity. The Company will indemnify each Holder, each
of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling
each of the foregoing, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, any
underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering
circular or other document (including any related registration statement,
notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance, or based on 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 in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities
law or in either case, any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection
with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each
Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person
controlling each of the foregoing, each such underwriter and each person who
controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss,
damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to a Holder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability
or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based
upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or the
underwriter (if any) therefor and stated to be specifically for use therein. The

                                       11
<PAGE>

indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(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 (which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld).

            (b) Holder Indemnity. Each Holder will, severally and not jointly,
if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which
such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the
Company, each of its directors, officers, agents and partners, and each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration
statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, each other Holder (if any), and each of their officers, directors
and partners, and each person controlling such other Holder(s) against all
claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, and will reimburse the Company and such other Holder(s) and their
directors, officers and partners, underwriters or control persons for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder
and stated to be specifically for use therein, and provided that the maximum
amount for which such Holder shall be liable under this indemnity shall not
exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. The indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities if such settlement
is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).

            (c) Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim in any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party
(whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at its own expense, and provided further that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to
the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by
such failure to provide notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each 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 release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such
non-privileged information regarding itself or the claim in question as an
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting
therefrom.

                                       12

      7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 herein
is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to herein (other than by reason of the
exceptions provided therein), then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities as between the Company on the one hand and any Holder on the other,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Company and of such Holder 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 of the Company on the one
hand and of any Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by such Holder.

            In no event shall the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to
contribute under this Section 7 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party
would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the
indemnification provided for under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof had been
available under the circumstances.

            The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Holders or the underwriters were treated as one entity
for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraphs. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraphs 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, no Holder or underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the
case of any Holder, the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question or
(ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable
Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such Holder or
underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged 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.

      8. Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
Sections 6 and 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company referred
to in Section 2(d)(i) shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or the Put and Call
Agreement or any underwriting agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on
behalf of any Indemnified Party or by or on behalf of the Company, and (iii) the
consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registrable Securities.

      9. Information by Holders. Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder and the distribution and/or sale proposed by
such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be
reasonably required in connection with any registration,

                                       13
<PAGE>

qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. The intended method
or methods of disposition and/or sale (Plan of Distribution) of such securities
as so provided by such Investor shall be included without alteration in the
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall not be
changed without written consent of such Holder.

      10. Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s) representing the Common
Shares or Notes Shares held by any Investor (or then Holder) may be exchanged by
such Investor (or such Holder) at any time and from time to time for
certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number
of Common Shares, as reasonably requested by such Investor (or such Holder) upon
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or
transfer or exchange.

      11. Transfer or Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The rights granted to the Investors by
the Company under this Agreement to cause the Company to register Registrable
Securities may be transferred or assigned (in whole or in part) to a transferee
or assignee of Preferred Shares or Registrable Securities, and all other rights
granted to the Investors by the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned
to any transferee or assignee of any Preferred Shares, or Registrable
Securities; provided in each case that the Company must be given written notice
by the such Investor at the time of or within a reasonable time after said
transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or
assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the
transferee or assignee of such rights agrees in writing to be bound by the
registration provisions of this Agreement.

      12. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Remedies. The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree
that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or
were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the
provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of
them may be entitled by law or equity.

            (b) Jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Investor (i) hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
Court, the New York State courts and other courts of the United States sitting
in New York County, New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees
not to assert in any such suit action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit,
action or proceeding is improper. The Company and the Investor consent to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect or
limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
