<PAGE>

offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration
Statement shall be on Form S-3 (unless the Company is not then eligible to
register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith) and
shall contain (unless otherwise directed by the Holders and except to the extent
the Company determines that modifications thereto are required under applicable
law) substantially the "Plan of Distribution" attached hereto as Annex A.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts
to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any
event prior to the Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep
the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
the date which is two years after the date that the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission or such earlier date when all Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold or may be sold
without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel
to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed
and acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the affected Holders (the
"Effectiveness Period"). The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via
facsimile of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on the same day
that the Company receives notification of the effectiveness from the Commission.

      (b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its
Filing Date (if the Company files the Registration Statement without affording
the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by
Section 3(a), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied clause (i)), or
(ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in
accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five
Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not
be "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the
Effectiveness Date, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and
otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of
the Registration Statement within 10 Trading Days after the receipt of comments
by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for
the Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) the Registration
Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by
the Commission by the Effectiveness Date, or (v) after the Effectiveness Date,
the Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously
effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be
effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to
resell such Registrable Securities for 20 consecutive Trading Days or in any
individual case an aggregate of 30 Trading Days during any 12 month period
(which need not be consecutive Trading Days) (any such failure or breach being
referred to as an "Event", and for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the date on
which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such
five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date
which such 10 Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the
date on which such 20 or 30 Trading Day period, as applicable, is exceeded being
referred to as "Event Date"), then, on each such Event Date and every monthly

                                       3
<PAGE>

anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay
to each Holder within five Trading Days of the end of a month in which the
applicable Event occurs and is continuing an amount in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% per month of the Subscription Amount
paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder and covered (or to be covered) by the
Registration Statement. For the purposes of calculating the amount due, each
month will be deemed to be 30 days in length. If the Company fails to pay any
liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the
date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum
(or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law)
to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due
until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The
liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro-rata basis
for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

      3. Registration Procedures

      In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the
Company shall:

      (a) Not less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall, (i) furnish to each
Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other
than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be
subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and
directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to
such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective
counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any
such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably and in good faith
object, provided, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later
than 2 Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of such
documents.

      (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the
Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this
Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within 10
Trading Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably
possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from
and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and

                                       4
<PAGE>

(iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in
accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of
disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

      (c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice
shall, pursuant to clauses (ii) through (vi) hereof, shall be accompanied by an
instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes
have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible and (if requested by any such
Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than two Trading Days following
the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the
Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of the
Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on the
Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies
thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); and (C) with
respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other
Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the
initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the
financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
(vi) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with
respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in
the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the
Company to allow continued availability or the Registration Statement or
Prospectus; provided that the Company shall not disclose the nature of such
information to the Holder.

      (d) Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the
Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders in connection with the

                                       5
<PAGE>

offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and
any amendment or supplement thereto.

      (e) Use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the resale
of such Registrable Securities as required under applicable securities or Blue
Sky laws of each State within the United States as any Holder reasonably
requests in writing, to keep each the Registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period; provided, that
the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

      (f) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to
a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be
free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive
legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

      (g) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c), as
promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances prepare a supplement or
amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such
Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses
(ii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of the use of any
Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, or the
Company otherwise notifies the Holders of its election to suspend the
availability of the Registration Statement and Prospectus pursuant to clause
(vi) of Section 3(c), then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The
Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may
be resumed as promptly as is practicable, except that in the case of suspension
of the availability of the Registration Statement and Prospectus pursuant to
clause (vi) of Section 3(c), the Company shall not be required to take such
action until such time as it shall determine that the continued availability of
the Registration Statement and Prospectus is no longer not in the best interests
of the Company. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this
Section 3(g) to suspend the availability of the Registration Statement and
Prospectus, subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section
2(b), for a period not to exceed 60 consecutive days or for multiple periods not
to exceed 90 days in any 12 month period.

      (h) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

      (i) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain
the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, or

                                       6
<PAGE>

(ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of
any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest
practicable moment.

      (j) The Company may require, at any time prior to the third Trading Day
prior to the Filing Date, each Holder to furnish to the Company a statement as
to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and,
if requested by the Commission, the controlling person thereof, within three
Trading Days of the Company's request. During any periods that the Company is
unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the
Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such
information within three Trading Days of the Company's request, any liquidated
damages that are accruing at such time shall be tolled, until such information
is delivered to the Company.

      4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing
sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings
required to be made with the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then
listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or
Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with
Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and
determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders)), (ii)
printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing
certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses requested
by the Holders), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, and (v) fees and expenses of all other
Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be
responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall
the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions or, except to
the extent provided for in the Purchase Agreement, any legal fees or other costs
of the Holders.

      5. Indemnification

      (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell
Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to
perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees
of each of them, each Person who controls

                                       7
<PAGE>

any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and
employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and
reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred,
arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such
untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section
3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus
after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice
contemplated in Section 6(e). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of
the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the
Company is aware.

      (b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not
jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject
to appeal or review) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely
out of or based solely upon: (i) such Holder's failure to comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by
such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or
omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing
to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in

                                       8
<PAGE>

any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an
event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of
an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder
in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt
by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(e). In no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

      (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
"Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person
from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.

      An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or
Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a material conflict of interest is
likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and the expense of one such counsel for each
Holder shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected
without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the
Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a
manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified
Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days

                                       9
<PAGE>

of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is
ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

      (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or
5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then each 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, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to
such party in accordance with its terms.

      The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required
to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the
proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

      The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.

      6. Miscellaneous

      (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and all of

promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to

the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such

      (j) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and

obligations of each Purchaser hereunder is several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or

Each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including
without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.

                              Plan of Distribution

      The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

      o     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
            broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

      o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
            shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
            as principal to facilitate the transaction;

      o     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
            broker-dealer for its account;

      o     an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
            applicable exchange;

      o     privately negotiated transactions;

      o     settlement of short sales crated after the date of this Prospectus;

      o     broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a
            specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

      o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

      o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

      The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The
selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed
what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

      We have advised the selling stockholders that during such time as they may
be engaged in a distribution of the shares, they are required to comply with
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act. With certain exceptions,
Regulation M prohibits any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers
and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from
bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire
distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids

                                       17
<PAGE>

or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection
with the distribution of that security. The foregoing restrictions may affect
the marketability of the shares.

      The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in or transfer some or all of the Shares or common stock or Warrant
owned by them and, (if they default in the performance of their secured
obligations), the pledgees or secured parties or transferees may offer and sell
the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an
amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision
of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to
include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus.

      The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.

      The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have
informed the Company that none of them have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

Penny Stock Rules

      Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules that impose
additional sales practice requirements should because our shares presently do
not trade in any market and can be expected to trade below $5.00 per share. For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of the common shares and must have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. The "penny stock" rules also require the delivery, prior to the
transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must
also disclose:

      o     the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
            representative,

      o     current quotations for the securities, and

      o     if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer
            must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control
            over the market.

                                       18
<PAGE>

      Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks.

      These rules apply to sales by broker-dealers to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouse), unless our common shares trade above $5.00 per share.
Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell shares of our common stock, and may affect the ability to sell the
shares in the secondary market as well as the price at which such sales can be
made. Also, some brokerage firms will decide not to effect transactions in
"penny stocks" and it is unlikely that any bank or financial institution will
accept "penny stock" as collateral.]

      The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the
Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to
indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

the respective meanings set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement or in

      2. Registration.

            (a) Mandatory Registration.

                  (i) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, no later
than the Required Filing Date (or the next business day following the Required
Filing Date should such date fall on a weekend), an amendment to an existing
Registration Statement or a new Registration Statement, in either event
registering for resale by the Investor and VFIN a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock for the Investors to sell all of the Registrable Securities. The
Registration Statement shall also state that, in accordance with Rules 416 and

<PAGE>

457 under the Securities Act, it also covers such indeterminate number of
additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, or stock dividends.

                  (ii) The aggregate number of shares registered for the
Investors in each Registration Statement or amendment thereto shall be allocated
among the Investors on a pro rata basis among them according to their relative
Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement.

            (b) Payments by the Company.

                  (i) [RESERVED]

      (ii) If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is
not filed with the SEC by the relevant Required Filing Date or if there is a
Restricted Sale Date within ninety (90) days after the Initial Required
Effective Date, then the Company will make payments to the Investor in such
amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section 2(b).
The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to be declared effective on a date (the "Initial Required Effective
Date") which is no later than five (5) days after oral or written notice by the
SEC that it may be declared effective.

                  (iii) The amount (the "Periodic Amount") to be paid by the
Company to the Investor shall be determined as of each Computation Date (as
defined below) and such amount shall be equal to the Periodic Amount Percentage
(as defined below) of the Purchase Price for the Common Stock for the period (X)
commencing on the date following the Required Filing Date, or (Y) the date
following a Restricted Sale Date, as the case may be, to the first relevant
Computation Date, and thereafter to each subsequent Computation Date. The
"Periodic Amount Percentage" means (A) with respect to the Required Filing Date,
one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price of the Common Stock each Computation
Date.[subsection (b) to be reinserted} discusses what if the Registration
Statement is suspended within 90 days after it is effective.and (b) with the
Restricted Sale Date one (1%)percent of the Held Shares Value from the
Restricted Sale Date to each Computation Date thereafter. Anything in the
preceding provisions of this paragraph (iii) to the contrary notwithstanding,
after the Initial Required Effective Date, the Purchase Price shall be deemed to
refer to the sum of the Held Shares Value. By way of illustration and not in
limitation of the foregoing, if the Registration Statement is not filed ninety
(90) days after the Required Filing Date, the Periodic Amount (assuming no
Periodic Amounts were previously paid) will aggregate three (3%) percent of the
Purchase Price.

                  (iv) Each Periodic Amount will be payable by the Company,
except as provided in the other provisions of this subparagraph (iv), in cash or
other immediately available funds to the Investor (1) thirty (30) days after the
Required Filing Date or a Restricted Sale Date, as the case may be, and (2) on
the earlier of (A) each thirtieth day thereafter, (B) the third business day
after the date the Registration Statement is filed or is declared effective, or
(C) the third business day after the Registration Statement has its restrictions
removed after the relevant Effective Date, in each case without requiring demand
therefor by the Investor. Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence
of this subparagraph (iv), at the mutual agreement of the Company and the
Investor, any time before the Periodic Amount is paid, all or a portion of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Periodic Amount can be paid by the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock
to the Investor ("Periodic Amount Shares") in an amount equal to the Periodic
Amount being paid thereby divided by 90% of the average Closing Bid Price for
the last five (5) trading days prior to the Computation Date.

                  (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the
Company pursuant to this provision shall not be payable to the extent any delay
in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of,
or a failure to act or to act timely by the Investor or its counsel.

                  (vi) "Computation Date" means (A) the date which is the
earlier of thirty (30) days after the Required Filing Date or a Restricted Sale
Date, or when the shares of Common Stock are listed on the Principal Trading
Market (with respect to payments due as contemplated by Section 2(b)(iii)
hereof), as the case may be, and (B) each date which is the earlier of (1)
thirty (30) days after the previous Computation Date or (2) the date after the
previous Computation Date on which the Registration Statement is declared
effective or has its restrictions removed or the shares of Common Stock are
listed on the Principal Trading Market (with respect to payments due as

      3. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of the
Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:

            (a) Prepare and file, with the SEC by the Required Filing Date a
Registration Statement with respect to not less than the number of Registrable
Securities provided in Section 2(a) above, and thereafter use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective by the Initial Required Effective Date and keep
the Registration Statement effective at all times during the period (the
"Registration Period") continuing until the earlier of (i) the date when the
Investors may sell all Registrable Securities under Rule 144(k) without volume
or other restrictions or limits, (ii) the date the Investors no longer own any
of the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) two
(2) years after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement;

            (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times during the
Registration Period, and, during the Registration Period, comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement;

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (c) Permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Investors and
VFIN (which, until further notice, shall be deemed to be Krieger & Prager LLP,
Attn: Samuel Krieger, Esq.) ("Investor's Counsel") (which Investor's Counsel has
agreed to receive such notification) to review the Registration Statement and
all amendments and supplements thereto for a reasonable period of time (but not
less than three (3) business days) prior to their filing with the SEC, and not
file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects;

            (d) Notify the Investors and VFIN and, if applicable, the Investors'
Counsel immediately (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three (3)
business days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) business day following the
day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) whenever
the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such
Registration Statement; (C) whenever the Company receives (or a representative
of the Company receives on its behalf) any oral or written comments from the SEC
in respect of a Registration Statement, copies or, in the case of oral comments,
summaries of such comments (as such comments relate to the Investor) shall be
promptly furnished by the Company to the Investors; and (D) with respect to the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state
governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by
the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations
or warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any
underwriting agreement) contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all
material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the
occurrence of any event that to the best knowledge of the Company makes any
statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any
material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement,
Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In addition, the
Company shall furnish the Investor's Counsel with copies of all intended written
responses to the comments contemplated in clause (C) of this Section 3(d) that
relate to Investors not later than one (1) business day in advance of the filing
of such responses with the SEC so that the Investors shall have the opportunity
to comment thereon;

            (e) Furnish to Investors and/or Investors' Counsel (i) promptly
after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or
received by the Company, one (1) copy of the Registration Statement, each
preliminary prospectus and prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto,
all correspondence to, with, or from the SEC, and (ii) such number of copies of
a prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto (as contemplated in
Section 3(d) above) and such other documents, as such Investor may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Investor;

                                       5
<PAGE>

            (f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify
each Investor of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge,
as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or
amendment to the Registration Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC
to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of
such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request;

            (g) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify
each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of
an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC
of a Notice of Effectiveness or any notice of effectiveness or any stop order or
other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the
earliest possible time;

            (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to
time after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company
notifies the Investors in writing of the existence of a Potential Material
Event, the Investors shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or
engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registrable
Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential
Material Event until such Investor receives written notice from the Company that
such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no
longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, however, that the
Company may not so suspend the right to such holders of Registrable Securities
during the periods the Registration Statement is required to be in effect other
than during a Permitted Suspension Period (and the applicable provisions of
Section 2(b) shall apply with respect to any such suspension other than during a
Permitted Suspension Period). The term "Permitted Suspension Period" means up to
two such suspension periods, each of which suspension period shall not either
(i) be for more than fifteen (15) business days or (ii) begin less than ten (10)
business days after the last day of the preceding suspension (whether or not
such last day was during or after a Permitted Suspension Period); provided
further that the Company shall, if lawful to do so, provide the Investor with at
least two (2) business days' notice of the existence (but not the substance of)
a Potential Material Event. Investor shall treat any information with respect to
Potential Material Event as confidential. The Investor shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners,
and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages,
costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney's fees) and expenses
suffered regarding any trades by the Investor, its affiliates or any person(s)
acquiring information from the Investor as a tippee or otherwise.

            (i) Use its reasonable efforts to secure and maintain the
designation and listing of all the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement on the Principal Trading Market within the meaning of
Rule 11Aa2-1 of the SEC under the Exchange Act and the quotation of the
Registrable Securities on the Principal Trading Market;

            (j) Provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single
entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the initial Effective
Date;

                                       6
<PAGE>

            (k) Cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities
being offered to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration
Statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable Securities to be in
such denominations or amounts as the case may be, as the Investors may
reasonably request, and, within five (5) business days after a Registration
Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC,
the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company
to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to
the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, which shall
include, without limitation, directions to the transfer agent to issue
certificates of Registrable Securities (including certificates for Registrable
Securities to be issued after the Effective Date and replacement certificates
for Registrable Securities previously issued) without legends or other
restrictions, except as required by any applicable state securities laws;

            (l) Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement; and

            (m) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission and make generally available to its security holders earning
statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and
Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days
after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i)
commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are
sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering
and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the
first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of
the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover said 12-month period, or
end shorter periods as is consistent with the requirements of Rule 158.

      4. Obligations of the Investors. In connection with the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:

            (a) Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable
Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the
Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration
Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of
such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable
Securities from the Registration Statement; and

            (b) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or
3(g), above, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g) and, if
so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of
destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (c) Investor specifically acknowledges that the Company reserves the
right (but is not otherwise obligated) to sell additional securities on terms
determined by the board of directors of the Company at any time before,
contemporaneous with or after the execution of this Purchase Agreement or from
time to time and in any manner whatsoever pursuant to applicable federal and
state securities laws.

      5. Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses (other than
underwriting discounts and commissions of the Investor) incurred in connection
with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but
including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications
fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company

      6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

            (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the
directors, if any, of such Investor, the officers, if any, of such Investor,
each person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person" or
"Indemnified Party"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, "Claims") to which any of
them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations in the Registration Statement, or
any post-effective amendment thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any
rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, "Violations"). Subject to clause (b) of this Section 6, the
Company shall reimburse the Investors, promptly as such expenses are incurred
and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (I) apply to a Claim arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
after such prospectus was made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c)
hereof; (II) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the
Investor to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by
the Company or the amendment or supplement thereto made available by the
Company; (III) be

                                       8
<PAGE>

available to the extent such Claim is based on the delivery of a prospectus by
the Investor after receiving notice from the Company under Section 3(f), (g) or
(h) hereof (other than a notice regarding the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (IV) apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Each Investor will indemnify the Company and its officers, directors
and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person" or "Indemnified Party") against any
claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company, by or on
behalf of such Investor, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of
the Registration Statement or the amendment or supplement thereto, subject to
such limitations and conditions as are applicable to the indemnification
provided by the Company to this Section 6. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities
by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

            (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action
(including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated
and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 for any legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its
final conclusion. The Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such
counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the
indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party provided such
counsel is of the opinion that all defenses available to the Indemnified Party
can be maintained without prejudicing the rights of the indemnifying party. The
failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying
party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred and is due and payable.

                                       9
<PAGE>

      7. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6; (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable
Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c)
except where the seller has committed fraud (other than a fraud by reason of the
information included or omitted from the Registration Statement as to which the
Company has not given notice as contemplated under Section 3 hereof) or
intentional misconduct, contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

      8. Reports under Securities Act and Exchange Act. With a view to making
available to Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without
Registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:

            (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;

            (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and

            (c) furnish to Investor so long as Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Investor to sell
such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without Registration.

            (d) The Company will, at the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, upon receipt from such Holder of a certificate certifying (i) that
such Holder has held such Registrable Securities for a period of not less than
one (1) year, (ii) that such Holder has not been an affiliate (as defined in
Rule 144) of the company for more than the ninety (90) preceding days, and (iii)
as to such other matters as may be appropriate in accordance with such Rule,
remove from the stock certificate representing such Registrable Securities that
portion of any restrictive legend which relates to the registration provisions
of the Securities Act.

      9. Assignment of the Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of the Registrable
Securities only if the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer
or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being transferred or assigned.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      10. Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may
be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a fifty (50%) percent
interest of the Held Shares Value as of such date. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor
and the Company.

      11. Miscellaneous.

            (a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable
Securities.

            (b) Notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be
given in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (i) if to the
Company or to the Investor, to their respective address contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement, and (ii) if to any other Investor, at such address as such
Investor shall have provided in writing to the Company, or at such other address
as each such party furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section
11(b).

            (c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this
Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy,
shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

            (d) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the
laws of the State of Delaware for contracts to be wholly performed in such state
and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of
laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts and
state courts whose districts encompass any part of the State of New York, New
YorkCounty in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and
hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including
any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such
proceeding in such jurisdictions.

            (e) The Company and each Investor hereby waive a trial by jury in
any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto
against the other in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements.

            (f) If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

            (g) Subject to the requirements of Section 9 hereof, this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of
each of the parties hereto.
