  Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
  contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary

  by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. Each of the
  Transaction Documents has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the

  limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws
  affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

  Nasdaq Stock Market, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents,

  contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or constitute a
  violation of or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) or give rise
  to any right of termination, material amendment, cancellation or acceleration
  or loss of any material rights under (i) any material contracts to which the
  Company or any Subsidiary is a party (such contracts, the "MATERIAL
  CONTRACTS"), (ii) the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws or any
  similar organizational document of the Company or any Subsidiary or (iii) any
  law, administrative regulation ordinance, writ, injunction, decree or order of
  any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority binding upon
  the Company or any Subsidiary or either's property, or (b) result in the
  creation or imposition (or the obligation to create or impose) of any material
  lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest, pledge, charge or restriction of
  any kind upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any
  Subsidiary, or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation,
  agreement or condition contained in any Material Contract. No consent,
  approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or
  filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
  body in the United States is required for the execution and delivery of the
  Transaction Documents and the valid issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold
  pursuant to this Agreement, except for any securities filings required to be
  made under federal or state securities laws.

           (e) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when
  issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly
  and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens
  and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or similar rights of
  stockholders.

           (f) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all authorized,
  issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities of the
  Company (whether or not presently convertible into or exercisable or
  exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company) is set forth in
  Schedule 3.1(f). All outstanding shares of capital stock are duly authorized,
  validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in
  compliance with all applicable securities laws. Except as disclosed in
  Schedule 3.1(f), there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to
  subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
  securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or
  exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire,

                                       6.

<PAGE>

  any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
  arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to
  issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible
  or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. There are no anti-dilution or
  price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company
  (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) and the issue and
  sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common
  Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will
  not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the
  exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. To the
  knowledge of the Company, except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 3.1(f),
  no Person or group of related Persons beneficially owns (as determined
  pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has the right to acquire,
  by agreement with or by obligation binding upon the Company, beneficial
  ownership of in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, ignoring for
  such purposes any limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may
  be owned at any single time.

           (g) SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Except for the report on Form
  10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004, the Company has filed all reports
  required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
  including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, since and including the
  filing of the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

  under the Exchange Act, are collectively referred to herein as the "SEC

  filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
  extension. Except as described on Schedule 3.1(g), as of their respective
  dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements
  of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
  the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when
  filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
  material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
  statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
  made, not misleading. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(g), the financial
  statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material
  respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations
  of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.
  Except as described in Schedule 3.1(g), such financial statements have been

  thereto, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of
  the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof
  and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended,
  subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end
  audit adjustments. All material agreements to which the Company or any
  Subsidiary is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company or any
  Subsidiary are subject are included as part of or specifically identified in
  the SEC Reports.

  the aggregate, has had or that would

                                       7.

<PAGE>

  reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the
  Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than

  option plans.

         (i) Contracts.

               (i)   Each of the Material Contracts has been filed as an exhibit
      to the SEC Reports and other than the Material Contracts, neither the
      Company nor any Subsidiary has any agreements, contracts and commitments
      that are material to the Company and not made in the ordinary course of
      business.

               (ii)  Except as described in Schedule 3.1(i), the Company does

      for a period of more than twelve months and in excess of the normal,
      ordinary and usual requirements of the Company's business.

               (iv)  Except as described in Schedule 3.1(i), the Company and
      each Subsidiary is not in default under or in material violation of, nor
      to the Company's knowledge, is there any valid basis for any claim of
      default, under or material violation of, any Material Contract.

               (v)   Except as described in Schedule 3.1(i), the Company does
      not have any debt obligations for borrowed money, including any guarantee
      of or agreement to acquire any such debt obligation of others, or any

      co-signer, endorser, co-maker, indemnitor or otherwise with respect to the
      obligation of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, association,
      organization or other entity.

                                       8.

<PAGE>

               (vii) Except as described in Schedule 3.1(i), the Company and
      each Subsidiary is not materially restricted by agreement from carrying on
      its business anywhere in the world.

           (j) Absence of Litigation. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(j),
  there is no action, suit, claim, 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, threatened against or
  affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would individually or in
  the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

           (k) Compliance. Except as described in Schedule 3.1(k), neither the
  Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no
  event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time
  or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
  nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received written notice of a claim that
  it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or
  credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party
  or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default
  or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
  arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any
  statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without
  limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes,
  environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and
  safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not,
  individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

           (l) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
  marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
  material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and
  marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to
  the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
  of all Liens, except for Liens that do not materially affect the value of such
  property and do not materially interfere with the use made, and proposed to be
  made, of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries. Any real property
  and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held
  by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases, free and clear of all
  Liens, of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

           (m) Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or
  will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
  finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect
  to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company has not
  taken any action that would cause any Purchaser to be liable for any such fees
  or commissions.

           (n) Private Placement. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on
  the Company's behalf has sold or offered to sell or solicited any offer to buy
  the Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising.
  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on the
  Company's behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six
  months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to
  buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability
  of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act
  in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby or
  (ii) cause the offering of the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents to
  be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any
  applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including,

                                       9.

<PAGE>

  without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. The
  issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not conflict with or violate
  any rules or regulations of any Trading Market. The Company is not, and is not
  an Affiliate of, an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment
  Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company is not a United States real
  property holding corporation within the meaning of the Foreign Investment in
  Real Property Tax Act of 1980.

           (o) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. Except as described in
  Schedule 3.1(o), the Company has not, in the two years preceding the date
  hereof, received notice (written or oral) from any Trading Market on which the
  Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is
  not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading
  Market.

           (p) Registration Rights. The Company has not granted or agreed to
  grant to any Person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration rights) to
  have any securities of the Company registered with the Commission or any other
  governmental authority that have not been satisfied or waived.

           (q) Application of Takeover Protections. Except as described in
  Schedule 3.1(p) and except for the Act, there is no control share acquisition,
  business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
  agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's
  charter documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could
  become applicable to any of the Purchasers as a result of Purchasers and the
  Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the
  Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as a result of the
  Company's issuance of the Shares and the Purchasers' ownership of the Shares.

           (r) Disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that each of the
  Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting
  transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosures provided to the
  Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions
  contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by
  or on behalf of the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue
  statement of a material fact or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, omit
  to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
  therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
  misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with
  respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business,
  properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which, under
  applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement
  by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. The
  Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any
  representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
  hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2.

           (s) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers' Purchase of Shares. The
  Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
  in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to this Agreement
  and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges
  that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor

                                       10.

<PAGE>

  or fiduciary of the Company or any other Purchaser (or in any similar
  capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
  hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective
  representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the
  transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser's
  purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that
  the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on
  the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the
  Company and its representatives.

           (t) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or
  have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
  applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other
  similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
  respective businesses and which the failure to so have would, or could
  reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
  "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
  received written notice that, or has knowledge that, the Intellectual Property
  Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary conflicts with, or violates or
  infringes upon, the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all
  such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
  infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The
  Company is not aware of any claim or potential claim against the Company or
  any Subsidiary regarding any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company
  or any Subsidiary does not, in the conduct of its business, infringe or
  conflict with any right or patent of any third party, or any discovery,
  invention, product or process that is the subject of a patent application
  filed by any third party, known to the Company. The Company and each
  Subsidiary has taken reasonable steps to protect the material intellectual
  property of the Company. The execution, delivery and performance by the
  Company of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions
  contemplated hereby, will not result in the loss or impairment of, or give
  rise to any right of any third party to terminate or materially alter, any of
  the Company's or any Subsidiary's material rights to own any of its
  intellectual property or its material rights under any agreements relating to
  such intellectual property, nor require the consent of any governmental
  authority or third party in respect of any such intellectual property.

           (u) Employee Benefit Plans; Employee Matters. The consummation of the
  transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, alone or in conjunction
  with any other possible event (including termination of employment) (i)
  entitle any current or former employee or other service provider of the
  Company or any Subsidiary to severance benefits or any other payment,
  compensation or benefit (including forgiveness of indebtedness), except as
  expressly provided by this Agreement or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or
  vesting, or increase the amount of compensation or benefit due any such
  employee or service provider, alone or in conjunction with any other possible
  event (including termination of employment). The Company and each Subsidiary
  is in compliance in all material respects with all currently applicable laws
  and regulations respecting employment, discrimination in employment, terms and
  conditions of employment, wages, hours and occupational safety and health and
  employment practices, and is not engaged in any unfair labor practice. To the
  Company's knowledge, no employees of the Company or any Subsidiary are in
  violation of any term of any material employment contract, patent disclosure
  agreement, noncompetition agreement or any restrictive covenant to a former
  employer relating to the right of any such employee to be

                                       11.

<PAGE>

  employed by the Company or any Subsidiary because of the nature of the
  business conducted or presently proposed to be conducted by the Company or any
  Subsidiary or to the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of
  others. No key employee of the Company or any Subsidiary has given written
  notice of resignation to the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the Company's
  knowledge, no key employee intends to terminate his or her employment with the
  Company or any Subsidiary.

           (v) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by
  insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
  and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which
  the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any
  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 without a significant increase in cost.

           (w) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
  certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
  state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
  respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
  failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate,
  have or result in a Material Adverse Effect ("MATERIAL PERMITS"), and neither
  the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
  to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

           (x) Environmental Laws. Except as would not have a Material Adverse
  Effect, the Company and each of the Subsidiaries is not in violation of any
  applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the environment or
  occupational health and safety, and no material expenditures are or will be
  required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation.

           (y) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth
  in SEC Reports filed at least ten days prior to the date hereof, none of the
  officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
  none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
  with the Company or any Subsidiary (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 entity in which any officer, director, or any
  such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee
  or partner.

           (z) Internal Accounting Controls. Except as described in Schedule
  3.1(z), the Company and the 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

                                       12.

<PAGE>

  accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
  intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

         3.2  Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Each Purchaser
hereby, as to itself only and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants to
the Company as follows:

           (a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly
  organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
  jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or partnership
  power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
  contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its
  obligations hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Purchaser of the
  Shares hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
  of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such
  Purchaser and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser,
  enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

           (b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as
  principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
  to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without
  prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right, subject to the provisions of
  this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
  of such Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
  Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance
  with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein
  shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the
  Shares for any period of time.

           (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
  Shares it was, and at the date hereof it is, an "accredited investor" as
  defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

           (d) Experience of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or
  together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
  experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
  the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so
  evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to
  bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present
  time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                         OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

         4.1  Transfer Restrictions.

           (a) The Shares may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective
  registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available
  exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in
  compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any
  transfer of Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration
  statement, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144(k), except as
  otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor to provide
  to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor to the effect
  that such transfer does not require

                                      13.
<PAGE>

  registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
  Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company
  and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of
  Shares by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that no
  registration of such transfer is required under the Securities Act. In
  addition, Purchaser shall not knowingly transfer any Shares to a competitor of
  the Company.

           (b) The Purchaser agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by
  this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing
  Shares:

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
         EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
         RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
         OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT
         BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
         EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
         REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
         STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES
         MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER
         LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

Certificates evidencing Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or
any other legend (i) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of such
Shares is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such
Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under
Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause
its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent
Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective Date. At such time as a
legend is no longer required for certain Shares, the Company will no later than
three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Transfer Agent of a legended certificate representing such Shares, deliver or
cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares
that is free from the restrictive legends set forth above. The Company may not
make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of
the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
For so long as any Purchaser owns Shares, the Company will not effect or
publicly announce its intention to effect any exchange, recapitalization or
other transaction that effectively requires or rewards physical delivery of
certificates evidencing the Common Stock.

           (c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from
time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares in
connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing
arrangement secured by the Shares and, if required under the terms of such
agreement, loan or arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer

pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or
transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of
the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate
Purchaser's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such required
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, including the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

         4.2  Furnishing of Information. Beginning with the filing of the 10-K
for the year ending December 31, 2004, for as long as any Purchaser owns Shares,
the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request
of any Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to such Purchaser a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
the preceding sentence. On and after the filing of the 10-K for the year ending
December 31, 2004, for as long as any Purchaser owns Shares, if the Company is
not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish
to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of
Rule 144 such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Shares
under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that on and after the filing of
the 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2004, it will take such further action
as any holder of Shares may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of Rule
144 applicable to the issuer of securities relating to transactions for the sale
of securities pursuant to Rule 144.

         4.3  Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell,
offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any
security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the
Purchaser, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for
purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

         4.4  Reservation of Shares. The Company shall maintain a reserve from
its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the
Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its
obligations in full under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any
time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company
to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company
shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of
authorized shares.

         4.5  Subsequent Placements.

           (a) For so long as Purchasers and/or their Affiliates hold at least
  10% of the outstanding Common Stock (the "SUBSEQUENT PLACEMENT PERIOD"), the
  Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to
  purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any
  option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries'
  equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt,
  preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during
  its life and under any

                                      15.
<PAGE>

circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or
announcement being referred to as a "SUBSEQUENT PLACEMENT") unless the Company
shall have first complied with this Section 4.5(a).

               (i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice
    (the "OFFER") of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange of
    the securities being offered in a Subsequent Placement (the "OFFERED
    SECURITIES"), which Offer shall (w) identify and describe the Offered
    Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be
    issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered
    Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons or
    entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be
    offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or
    exchange with Purchaser on the same terms as those set forth in the
    Subsequent Placement a portion of the Offered Securities based on such
    Purchaser's pro rata percentage holdings of the outstanding Common Stock at
    the time of the Offer (the "BASIC AMOUNT"), and with respect to each
    Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion
    of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other
    Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire
    should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the
    "UNDERSUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT").

               (ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must
    deliver a written notice to the Company within ten (10) Trading Day(s) after
    receipt of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the Purchaser's Basic
    Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall
    elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if
    any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the "NOTICE OF
    ACCEPTANCE"). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchaser are less
    than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then the Purchaser who has set
    forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be
    entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the
    Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if
    the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between
    the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the
    "AVAILABLE UNDERSUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT"), the Purchaser who has subscribed for
    any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase on that portion
    of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such
    Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchaser that have
    subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board
    to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.

               (iii) The Company shall have sixty (60) Trading Days from the
    expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.5(a)(ii) above to issue,
    sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a
    Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchaser (the "REFUSED
    SECURITIES"), but only upon terms and conditions (including, without
    limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not materially more
    favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or materially less favorable to
    the Company than those set forth in the Offer.

                                      16.
<PAGE>

               (iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all
    the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms
    specified in Section 4.5(a)(iii) above), then Purchaser may, at its sole
    option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the
    Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that
    shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that
    the Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) above
    multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or
    amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or
    exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchaser
    pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the
    denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities.
    In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of
    Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may
    not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the
    Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered
    to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(i) above.

               (v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or
    less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from
    the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or
    amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as
    reduced pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so
    elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase
    by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the
    preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchaser of a
    purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably
    satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser and their respective
    counsel.

               (vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchaser or
    other Persons in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(iii) above may not be
    issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchaser
    under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

           (b) The restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of this Section shall
  not apply to Excluded Stock.

         4.6  Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on the
Closing Date, issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing all
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall, on or
before the Business Day following the Closing Date, file a Current Report on
Form 8-K with the Commission (the "8-K FILING") describing the terms of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits
to such Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement, in the form required by the
Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices
required by the Commission or applicable law with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after
filing. Except with respect to the 8-K Filing and the press release referenced
above (a copy of which will be provided to the Purchasers for their review as
early as practicable prior to its filing), the Company shall, at least two
Trading Days prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by
this paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Purchasers for their review. The
Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in

                                      17.
<PAGE>

issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and
other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party
shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement,
filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if
such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall
promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement,
filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the
extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in
which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such
disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Purchaser
shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall
be entitled, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to make any press
release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in
substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and
(ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case
of clause (i) Purchaser shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any
such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Each press
release disseminated during the 12 months preceding the date of this Agreement
did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading

         4.7  Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital purposes and, unless otherwise
approved in writing by SAIF or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, provided that
the Credit Agreement shall have been amended pursuant to an amendment thereto
approved by SAIF prior to the Closing, not for the satisfaction of any portion
of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses
in the ordinary course of the Company's business and consistent with prior
practices), to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to
settle any litigation outstanding on the Closing Date.

         4.8  Inspection Rights. Purchasers shall have the right to visit and
inspect any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 4.8 with respect to
information which the Board determines in good faith is confidential or
attorney-client privileged and should not, therefore, be disclosed.

         4.9  Reports. So long as Purchasers and/or their Affiliates continue to
hold at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Company shall provide
Purchasers with all materials submitted to the Board at the same time and in the
same manner as such materials are provided to the directors.

  Directors at each meeting of shareholders where the election of directors is
  considered and shall use its best efforts to cause the Investor Directors to
  be elected and re-elected to the Board. Purchasers shall have the right to
  remove or replace any of the Investor Directors by giving notice to such
  Investor Director and the Company, and the Company shall use its best efforts
  to effect the removal or replacement of any such Investor Director. Unless
  prohibited by applicable law, Investors shall have the right to have two
  Investor Directors, as determined by Purchasers, be members of each committee
  of the Board, and the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint and
  maintain such Investor Directors on each committee of the Board, as requested
  by Purchasers. Any Investor Director who is not a member of a committee of the
  Board shall have the right to attend all meetings of such committee as a
  non-voting observer.

           (b) Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, the
  Investor Directors shall be entitled to the same perquisites, including stock

  Company's Chief Executive Officer and the remaining directors shall be
  independent directors not affiliated with management.

         4.11  Restrictive Covenants. For so long as Purchasers and/or their
Affiliates continue to hold at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock,
without the prior written consent of Purchasers, the Company shall not (and

           (a) purchase or redeem any securities of the Company other than pro
rata from all stockholders pursuant to a tender offer;

           (b) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets or take any action which results in the holders of the

of the Company's capital stock after the transaction;

                                      19.

  registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act;

Purchasers, and for purposes of this covenant, Purchasers acknowledge that the
Company's current directors and officers liability insurance is reasonably
acceptable to Purchasers.

         4.14  Future Acquisitions. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
Board has approved any and all "business combinations" (as that term is defined
in the Act) by and between the Company and any one or more of the Purchasers
and/or any one or more "affiliates" and/or "associates" thereof (in each case,
as the Act defines those terms) (a "Purchaser Business Combination"); provided
that if the future Purchaser Business Combination would otherwise have been
prohibited by the Act (a "Covered Combination"), then (1) the Company shall
first obtain an opinion from a nationally-recognized financial advisor retained
by and reporting to a committee of the Board (which committee is hereby
authorized and shall consist solely of those Board members who, at such time,
are disinterested directors) that such transaction is either fair to the
shareholders of the Company from a financial point of view or necessary for the
continued financial viability of the Company; and (2) in addition, if such
Covered Combination is a transaction for which shareholder approval is required
by law, then, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the
shareholders that are unaffiliated with the Purchasers; and provided further
that notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the restrictions in clause (1) or
(2) of the preceding proviso shall apply to any Purchaser Business Combination

                                      20.

purpose of such transaction is to reincorporate the Company in
another jurisdiction and following such transaction the common stock of the
surviving corporation is beneficially owned by substantially the same persons
and in substantially the same percentages as the common stock of the Company was
beneficially owned immediately prior to the transaction.

                               REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         6.1  Registration.

           (a) As promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to April
  15, 2005 (the "FILING DEADLINE"), the Company shall prepare and file with the
  Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable
  Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule
  415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if 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 Form S-1 or another
  appropriate form in accordance herewith as the Purchaser may consent) and
  shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Purchaser) the "Plan of
  Distribution" attached hereto as Exhibit B.

           (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration
  Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible
  after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness
  Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement
  continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as all Shares
  can be sold under Rule 144 in any consecutive 180-day period or such earlier
  date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
  have been sold (the "EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD").

           (c) The Company shall notify Purchaser in writing promptly (and in
  any event within one Trading Day) after receiving notification from the
  Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

           (d) Upon the occurrence of any Event (as defined below) and on every
  monthly anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, as partial
  relief for the damages suffered therefrom by each Purchaser (which remedy
  shall not be exclusive of any

                                      22.
<PAGE>

  other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity), the
  Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages
  and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% of such Purchaser's aggregate purchase
  price hereunder, upon the occurrence of the Event, and 1.0% of such
  Purchaser's aggregate purchase price hereunder, upon the last business day of
  each successive ten-day period thereafter, until all such Events have been
  cured. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this
  Section 6.1(d) are referred to herein as "EVENT PAYMENTS." Any Event Payments
  payable 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. In the event the Company
  fails to make Event Payments in a timely manner, such Event Payments shall
  bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months)
  until paid in full.

For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an "EVENT":

               (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the
    Filing Deadline or is not declared effective on or prior to the Required
    Effectiveness Date, provided that if the Registration Statement is not
    timely filed or declared effective due solely to Purchaser's failure to
    provide required information reasonably requested by the Company, the Event
    described above shall be tolled accordingly until such failure is cured;

               (ii) after the Effective Date, a Purchaser is not permitted to
    sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (or a
    subsequent Registration Statement filed in replacement thereof) for any
    reason for five or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive), except as
    permitted by Section 6.1(e) below;

               (iii) after the Effective Date, unless waived in writing by
    Purchasers, any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
    Statement are not listed on an Eligible Market;

               (iv) after the Effective Date, unless waived in writing by
    Purchasers, the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from
    trading, on an Eligible Market for a period of three Trading Days (which
    need not be consecutive Trading Days).

           (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
  Company may, by written notice to the Purchasers, suspend sales under a
  Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that
  the Purchaser immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant
  thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if
  (i) the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale and the
  Board determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result
  of such sales activity it would be materially detrimental to the Company
  (other than relating solely to the price of the Common Stock), (ii) the SEC or
  any other federal or state governmental authority issues any stop order
  suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or initiates any
  proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) there is an event or circumstance that
  necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or
  related Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
  therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it
  will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact

                                      23.
<PAGE>

  or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
  necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case
  of a related Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
  material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated
  therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
  circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of such
  notice, Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable
  Securities pursuant to such registration until such Purchaser has received
  copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until such Purchaser is
  advised in writing by the Company that the then-current Prospectus may be used
  and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
  incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. In no
  event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the
  period during which (in the good faith determination of the Board) the failure
  to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company.
  Furthermore, in no event may the Company exercise its rights hereunder for a
  period of more than 30 days in any twelve-month period. Immediately after the
  end of any suspension period under this Section 6.1(e), the Company shall take
  all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus)
  to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the
  ability of the Purchaser to publicly resell their Registrable Securities
  pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.

           (f) The Company shall not, prior to the Effective Date of the
  Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration
  statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others
  under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities.

         6.2  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 a
  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 Purchasers and Purchaser Counsel 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 Purchaser and
  Purchaser Counsel, 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 Purchaser Counsel, to conduct a
  reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company
  shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any
  amendments or supplements thereto to which Purchaser holding a majority of the
  Registrable Securities shall reasonably object.

           (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
  including post-effective amendments, to each 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 and prepare and file with the
  Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for
  resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
  the related

                                      24.
<PAGE>

  Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus
  supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule
  424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible 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
  Purchasers true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
  Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (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 with the
  intended methods of disposition by the Purchaser thereof set forth in the
  Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

           (c) Notify each Purchaser of Registrable Securities to be sold and
  Purchaser Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible, and (if requested by any
  such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day
  thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the Commission notifies the
  Company whether there will be a "review" of any Registration Statement; (ii)
  the Commission comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which
  case the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of such comments and of all
  written responses thereto); (iii) any Registration Statement or any
  post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iv) the Commission or any
  other Federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or
  supplement to any Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional
  information related thereto; (v) the Commission issues any stop order
  suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any
  Proceedings for that purpose; (vi) the Company receives notice of any
  suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any
  Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
  threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the financial statements
  included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein
  or any statement made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
  document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is
  untrue in any material respect or any revision to a Registration Statement,
  Prospectus or other document is required so that 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
  the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

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

           (e) Furnish to Purchasers and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, at
  least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment
  thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
  incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all
  exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously
  furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such
  documents with the Commission.

           (f) Promptly deliver to Purchasers and Purchaser's Counsel, without
  charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form
  of prospectus)

                                      25.
<PAGE>

  and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably
  request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each
  amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Purchasers in
  connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
  such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

           (g) (i) In the time and manner required by each Trading Market,
  prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing
  application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps
  necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on
  each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to the
  Purchasers evidence of such listing; and (iv) maintain the listing of such
  Registrable Securities on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

           (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
  best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Purchaser
  and each applicable Purchaser Counsel in connection with the registration or
  qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
  Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky
  laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Purchaser requests
  in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
  therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all
  other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
  jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
  Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file
  any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign
  corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is
  not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business
  in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise subject.

           (i) Cooperate with the Purchasers to facilitate the timely
  preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
  to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which
  certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, of all
  restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
  denominations and registered in such names as any such Purchaser may request,
  or, if requested by a Purchaser, provide for the Registrable Securities to be
  held electronically if permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

           (j) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section
  6.2(c)(vii), as promptly as reasonably possible, 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 the light of the circumstances under which
  they were made, not misleading.

           (k) Cooperate with any due diligence investigation undertaken by the
  Purchaser in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including
  without limitation by making available any documents and information; provided
  that the Company will not deliver or make available to any Purchaser material,
  nonpublic information unless such

                                      26.
<PAGE>

  Purchaser specifically requests in advance to receive material, nonpublic
  information in writing.

           (l) If holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
  offered pursuant to a Registration Statement select underwriters for the
  offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under an
  underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without
  limitation, by providing customary legal opinions, comfort letters and
  indemnification and contribution obligations.

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

         6.3  Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay (or reimburse the
Purchasers for) all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or
compliance with this Agreement by the Company, including without limitation (a)
all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation
those related to filings with the Commission, any Trading Market and in
connection with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing
expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses requested by the
Purchasers), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and
expenses of counsel for the Company and up to $10,000 in the aggregate for fees
and expenses of Purchaser Counsel related to this Article VI, (e) fees and
expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all
listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading Market.

         6.4  Indemnification.

           (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall,
  notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
  each Purchaser, the officers, directors, partners, members, 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 any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
  Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors,
  partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to
  the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
  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 the light of the circumstances
  under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to
  the extent, that (i) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements,
  omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding
  such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser expressly
  for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such
  Purchaser or such Purchaser's proposed method of distribution of Registrable
  Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such
  Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or
  such form of Prospectus or in any amendment

                                      27.
<PAGE>

  or supplement thereto or (ii) the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or
  defective Prospectus (or any Prospectus after such Purchaser receives notice
  of an event contemplated by Section 6.1(e)) after the Company has notified
  such Purchaser in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective or of
  an event contemplated by Section 6.1(e) and prior to the receipt by such
  Purchaser of the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. The Company shall notify
  the Purchasers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any
  Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions
  contemplated by this Agreement.

           (b) Indemnification by Purchaser. Each Purchaser 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 solely out of any 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 arising
  solely out of any 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 the light of the circumstances
  under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the
  extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
  so furnished in writing by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for
  inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent
  that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information
  regarding such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser
  expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to
  such Purchaser or such Purchaser's proposed method of distribution of
  Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by
  such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
  Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
  thereto or (ii) the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective
  Prospectus (or any Prospectus after such Purchaser receives notice of an event
  contemplated by Section 6.1(e)) after the Company has notified such Purchaser
  in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective or of an event
  contemplated by Section 6.1(e) and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of
  the Advice contemplated in Section 6.5. In no event shall the liability of any
  selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
  net proceeds received by such Purchaser 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 it shall be finally
  determined by a court of competent

                                      28.
<PAGE>

  jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
  that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely 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: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; or (ii) 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 (iii) 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 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 of such Indemnified Party and such counsel 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.

         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 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 6.4(a)
  or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reasons other than the
  specified exclusions to indemnification), 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 6.4(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or

                                      29.
<PAGE>

  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 6.4(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 6.4(d), no Purchaser shall be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the proceeds actually received by such Purchaser from the sale of the
Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Purchaser 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.

         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.

         6.5  Dispositions. Each Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement. Each Purchaser further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the
Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 6.1(e)
or Sections 6.2(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), such Purchaser will discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement
until such Purchaser's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus
and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 6.2(j), or until
it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE") by the Company that the use of the
applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies
of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The
Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this
paragraph.

         6.6  No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its
security holders (other than the Purchaser in such capacity pursuant hereto) may
include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other than the
Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter
into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders.

         6.7  Piggy-Back Registrations.

           (a) The Company shall notify all holders of Registrable Securities
  then outstanding ("HOLDERS" and each a "HOLDER") in writing at least 15 days
  prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for
  purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not
  limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of
  securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and
  shall afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration
  statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each
  Holder desiring

                                      30.
<PAGE>

  to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the
  Registrable Securities held by it shall, within 15 days after the
  above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing.
  Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
  Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its
  Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the
  Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include
  any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or
  registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to
  offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
  herein.

           (b) If the registration statement under which the Company gives
  notice under this Section 6.7 is for an underwritten public offering, the
  Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities then
  outstanding. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a
  registration pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be conditioned upon such
  Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
  Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
  Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
  underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
  the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter
  determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the
  number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included
  in the underwriting shall be allocated: first, to the Company; second, to the
  Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable
  Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any stockholders of the Company
  (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that: (i) if the
  Registration Statement was filed at the request of a stockholder (other than a
  Holder) for the purpose of registering the resale of securities held by such
  stockholder pursuant to a "demand" right then such allocation shall be: first,
  to such stockholder; and second, to the Company and the Holders on a pro rata
  basis; and (ii) except as set forth in clause (i), no such reduction shall
  reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the
  registration unless all stockholders of the Company exercising piggyback
  registration rights in such registration are subject to such reduction. In no
  event will shares of any other selling stockholder of the Company be included
  in such registration that would reduce the number of shares that may be
  included by Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than a
  majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If
  any participating Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting,
  such participating Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
  the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten business days prior to
  the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities
  excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn
  from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation,
  the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates
  and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts
  for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single
  "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be
  based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned
  by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this
  sentence.

                                      31.
<PAGE>

           (c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
  registration initiated by it under this Section 6.7 prior to the effectiveness
  of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include
  securities in such registration.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1  Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall pay to SAIF
an aggregate of $75,000 for their legal fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. In lieu of
the foregoing payment, SAIF may retain such amount at the Closing or require the
Company, upon written notice provided to the Company prior to the Closing, to
pay such amount directly to Cooley Godward LLP. Except as expressly set forth in
the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and
all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company
shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied
in connection with the issuance of the Shares.

         7.2  Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the
Exhibits and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties
acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or
after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute
and deliver to the Purchaser such further documents as may be reasonably
requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties
under the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Shares may be assigned to any Person in connection with a bona fide
margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such Shares.

         7.3  Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if
such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading
Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in
this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New

         7.4  Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived
or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment,
by the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority of the Shares or, in the
case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is
sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or

waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any
other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair
the exercise of any such right.

         7.5  Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

         7.6  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign
its rights under this Agreement (other than the rights under Sections 4.5, 4.6
and 4.8 through 4.11) to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers
any Shares, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect
to the transferred Shares, by the provisions hereof that apply to the
"Purchasers." Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Shares may be
assigned to any Person in connection with a bona fide margin account or other
loan or financing arrangement secured by such Shares.

         7.7  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third
party beneficiary of Section 6.4 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions
of such Section directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

         7.8  Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trail. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the
laws of the state of New York. THE COMPANY AND PURCHASERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN
(INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS),
AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY PURCHASER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT
PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR
OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) 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
CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY

<PAGE>

WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY AND
PURCHASERS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

         7.9 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares.

         7.10  Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together 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, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.

         7.11  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

         7.12  Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the
Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such
Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon
written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole
or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

         7.13  Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument
evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate
or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.

         7.14  Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the
Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

         7.15  Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment
or payments to any Purchaser hereunder or any Purchaser enforces or exercises
its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds
of such enforcement or exercise or

                                      34.

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 by 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 and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.

         7.16  Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any
stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder
thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination
or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each
reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share
shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

Item 4.02 (a) Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements

On September 22, 2004, the Company's audit committee concluded that the
Company's previously issued financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, as well as all quarterly periods beginning January 1,
2001, should no longer be relied upon.

As part of the Company's review of its second quarter results, the Company
identified a number of adjustments to prior periods. Adjustments identified to
date are expected to reduce revenue by approximately $800 thousand and net
income by approximately $900 thousand (or $0.05 per diluted share) for the year
ended December 31, 2003. In addition, there are certain historical intercompany
adjustments totaling $1.2 million that were dated prior to 2001. The impact of
these historical adjustments are expected to increase the accumulated deficit
account for years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 as well as all prior
quarterly financial periods since March 31, 2001.

There is also a remaining unreconciled difference in the Company's intercompany
accounting records of approximately $600 thousand that has yet to be fully
investigated, which may result in additional adjustments.

The Company's audit committee and management discussed these issues with its
independent auditors.

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 24, 2004 the Company issued a press release announcing, among other
things, the events described in Item 4.02(a). The press release is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by reference into this Item 9.
 The press release is not being filed for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not to be incorporated by
reference into any filing of the Company.

   INTELLIGROUP ANNOUNCES RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD RESULTS AND EXECUTION OF
        DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT FOR $15,000,000 MAJORITY EQUITY INVESTMENT

EDISON, N.J., September 24, 2004/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intelligroup, Inc.,
(NASDAQ: ITIGE), a global provider of strategic IT outsourcing services, today
announced that it expects to restate its previously issued financial statements
filed on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and
filed on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods beginning January 1, 2001 to date.
The expected restatement is based on preliminary results of an ongoing review
conducted by Company management. Until this review is complete, the Company will
not be able to conclude on the precise impact on prior period financial
statements. This conclusion will also be subject to audit by the Company's
external auditors.

As a result of the recent implementation of an upgraded financial system, and
the recent turnover in key positions in its finance department, the Company has
been undertaking a comprehensive review of its 2004 second quarter results. This
comprehensive review resulted in a number of accounting adjustments to prior
period financial statements. On September 22, 2004, the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors reached a definitive conclusion that the financial statements
and the related independent audit reports for the periods noted above should no
longer be relied upon. Company management and the Audit Committee have discussed
these matters and conclusions with the external auditors, Deloitte & Touche,
LLP.

Adjustments identified to date are expected to reduce revenue by approximately
$0.8 million and net income by approximately $0.9 million (or $0.05 per share)
for the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, there are certain historical
intercompany adjustments totaling approximately $1.2 million that affect periods
prior to 2001. The impact of these historical adjustments are expected to
increase the accumulated deficit account for the years ended December 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001, as well as all quarterly financial periods beginning January 1,
2001. There is also a remaining unreconciled difference of approximately $0.6
million in the Company's intercompany accounting records that has yet to be
fully investigated, which may result in additional adjustments. Reconciliation
of this difference and the determination of the proper accounting treatment and
period of impact of the restatement are the primary reasons for the further
delay in filing the 2004 second quarter Form 10-Q.

<PAGE>

The ongoing review of the Company's financial statements may result in
additional adjustments and/or information. Any further adjustments may be
material. The information contained in this Press Release includes only
information known by the Company as of the date of this Press Release. The
Company does not intend to update this information until such time as the
Company files the appropriate restated financial statements.

As a result of the uncertainties surrounding the restatements, the Company is
withdrawing all previous forward-looking guidance for the 2004 second quarter
and full year, without limitation.

The Company further announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement
pursuant to which SB Asia Infrastructure Fund, L.P., an affiliate of Softbank
Corporation, and Venture Tech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. will purchase an aggregate of
17,647,058 shares of the Company's common stock in a private placement at a
purchase price of $0.85 per share for a total purchase price of $15,000,000.
Following completion of the private placement, the purchasers will own
approximately 50.3% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The agreement
will also allow the purchasers to designate a majority of the Board of Directors
of the Company.

The Company determined, after evaluating alternatives, that this transaction was
necessary because its cash position and relative cash availability under its $15
million revolving credit facility had become inadequate to fund ongoing
operations. This transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, as well
as an amendment to the cash sweep provisions of the Company's revolving credit
facility and the waiver of certain defaults under the credit facility, which are
described below. There is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied.

The rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market require shareholder approval of certain
transactions, such as this private placement, involving the issuance of more
than 20% of a listed company's common stock. Due to its immediate cash needs,
the Company determined that delaying the transaction in order to seek
shareholder approval would jeopardize its financial viability. The transaction
will therefore violate NASDAQ listing rules and, as a result, the Company may be
delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market.

<PAGE>

In addition, the Company is in default under its revolving credit facility as a
result of the failure to file its Form 10-Q for the 2004 second quarter in a
timely manner, and expects it would also be in default under certain financial
covenants based on likely second quarter results. The Company is working with
its senior lender to obtain waivers for such defaults. Although the Company
believes at this time that it will obtain waivers of these defaults from the
lender under its revolving credit facility, if the Company cannot obtain such
waivers, the indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility could
be accelerated.

Empower, Inc. v. William Greer and Apriant, Inc. - Empower, Inc., a wholly-owned
Intelligroup subsidiary, brought legal action against its former managing
director, William Greer ("Greer'), and the new corporation formed by Greer for
breach and continued to breach of his fiduciary duties to Empower,

("Asgard') one of Intelligroup's subcontracting partners. This letter threatened
claims against Intelligroup seeking to recover approximately $28,900.00 in fees.
Internal investigation revealed that Intelligroup discontinued payment of

provided poor services in breach of Asgard's agreement with Intelligroup.
Intelligroup returned correspondence to Asgard's attorney on or about December
30, 2003 citing such breach and suggesting that each party waive its claims. On

Indus was entitled to an investment banking fee under the agreement.
Intelligroup sold its Asia-Pac subsidiaries for $650,000 payable in

monthly charges of 9,31,220 rupees (approximately $20,3954). Prior to entering
into this transaction, the Company's Board of Directors determined that the

recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information
relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
to the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer by others within those entities. However, the Company was unable to
timely record, process, summarize and report its financial results for the
second quarter in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act. In
particular, due to a system conversion and turnover in staff, the Company was
unable to timely file its quarterly report for the second quarter. The Company
is working to remedy these issues and improve the timeliness of its financial
reporting.

        There have been changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
which occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004. These changes
include the following: (i) implementation of a significant upgrade to the
Company's financial systems; and (ii) turnover within our financial department
including the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer and other new hires to the
financial staff. These changes may materially affect, or may be reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting in the following manner: (i) the upgraded financial system results in
a change of internal processes relating to financial reporting requiring staff
training and adjustment; (ii) the upgraded financial system has resulted in
intensive manual processes requiring additional resources of the Company; (iii)
the upgraded financial system has resulted in a slower closing process; and (iv)
the changes to the financial department staff have resulted in a loss of
historical know-how.

        The combination of the new financial system and turnover in key members
of the finance department resulted in the following deficiencies in internal
controls: (i) lack of or incomplete processes, (ii) inadequate training and lack
of training for back-up resources, (iii) lack of proper documentation, (iv) lack
of appropriate exception reports, and (v) loss of historical know-how. These
deficiencies represent material weaknesses in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. During the closing process for the second quarter, the
Company instituted mitigating controls, including manually validating the
transactional details and contract balances for most contracts, to ensure the
accuracy of its financial statements

        Furthermore, the Company is assessing its existing internal controls in
preparation for providing the required certifications under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company has taken the following steps in this
regard including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the Company has
established an internal team, sponsored by the Chief Financial Officer and
including participation by other executives, which is responsible for the
assessment and testing of internal controls and the remediation, if necessary,
of identified issues with the Company's internal controls; (ii) the Company has
further retained Grant Thorton LLP to assist and advise the Company in relation
to these efforts; and (iii) an internal project plan relating to these efforts
was adopted by the team and the team is currently executing against this plan.

        The assessment process has commenced and the Company is initially
focusing on key business areas including billing, contract administration,
revenue recognition, timesheet entry and subcontractor retention. This
assessment has raised the following areas of concern and focus: (i)
strengthening management oversight over key accounting decisions; (ii)
increasing the Company's control over the accuracy of the financial information
being entered into the financial systems; (iii) evaluating the Company's
process, policies and procedures and, where appropriate, improving and
increasing the enforcement of the same; (iv) training the Company's new and
existing financial department resources in the upgraded financial system and
training back-up personnel in critical areas; and (v) evaluating the segregation
of duties as it relates to key financial reporting roles and improving
managerial oversight of such resources.
