          2.1. REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.  Registrable Securities will cease to be
Registrable Securities when such Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Act or a registration statement covering such Registrable
Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and
such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective
registration statement.

          2.2. HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.  A Person is deemed to be a
holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record
Registrable Securities, or holds a warrant to purchase, or a security
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, Registrable Securities
whether or not such acquisition or conversion has actually been effected and
disregarding any legal restrictions upon the exercise of such rights.  If the
Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or
more persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company may

issuable upon exercise of an option or upon conversion of another security

     3.   PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION.

          3.1. PIGGY-BACK RIGHTS.  If the Company proposes to file a
registration statement under the Act with respect to an offering by the
Company for its own account or for the account of any other holder of
registration rights exercising demand registration rights (such other holder
or registration rights being "DEMAND HOLDER") of any class of equity
securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any
successor or other forms not available for registering equity securities for
sale to the public), then the Company shall give written notice of such
proposed filing to each holder of Registrable Securities at least thirty (30)
days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall describe in
detail the proposed registration and distribution (including those
jurisdictions where registration under the securities or blue sky laws is
intended) and offer such holders the opportunity to register such number of
Registrable Securities as each such holder may request.  The Company shall
use its best efforts (within ten (10) days of the notice provided for in the
preceding sentence) to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a
proposed underwritten offering (the "UNDERWRITER") to permit the holders of
Registrable Securities that  have requested to participate in the
registration for such offering to include such Registrable Securities in such
offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company or
the Demand Holder, as the case may be, included therein.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) if in the opinion of the Underwriter the total amount or kind
of securities which the holders of Registrable Securities, the Company and
any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering (the "TOTAL
SECURITIES") is sufficiently large so as to have a material adverse effect on
the distribution of the Total Securities, then the amount or kind of
securities to be offered for the account of such holders of Registrable
Securities and such other persons or entities other than (i) the Company, if
such registration is being filed for the Company's own account, or (ii) the
Demand Holders, if such registration is being made at the demand of a Demand
Holder, shall be reduced pro rata (to zero, if necessary) to the extent
necessary to reduce the Total Securities to the amount recommended by the
Underwriter and (y) holders of Registrable Securities shall have no piggyback
rights in connection with a registration statement filed as a result of the
exercise of a demand registration right by the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock or Investor Warrants (or, in each case, shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon exercise thereof) pursuant to the Investment Agreement
unless holders of (x) 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, if any, and (y) 66 2/3% in interest of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Investor Warrants consent in writing to the grant of such
piggyback rights.

          3.2. EXPENSES.  The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in
connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 3.

                                     3
<PAGE>

     4.   HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS.

          4.1. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.
To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Registrable
Securities participating in such registration agrees not to effect any public
sale or distribution of any Registrable Securities being registered or of any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Registrable
Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
during the ten (10) Business Days prior to, and during the ninety (90) days
beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as part
of such registration), if and to the extent requested by the Company in the case
of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested by the
Underwriter in the case of an underwritten public offering.

          4.2. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY.  The Company
agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any of its equity
securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for such equity securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or
S-8 or any successor or other forms not available for registering equity
securities for sale to the public) during the ten (10) Business Days prior
to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the later of (i) the
effective date of any registration statement in which the holders of
Registrable Securities are participating and (ii) the commencement of a
public distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such
registration statement.

     5.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

          5.1. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.  Whenever registration of
Registrable Securities has been requested pursuant to Section 3 of this
Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to effect the
registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of distribution thereof, and in connection with any such
request, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable:

               (a)  prepare and file with the SEC (in any event not later than
     thirty (30) business days after receipt of a request to file a registration
     statement with respect to Registrable Securities) a registration statement
     on any form for which the Company then qualifies which counsel for the
     Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the
     sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method
     of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such
     registration statement to become effective under the Act; provided,
     however, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any
     amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall (A) provide counsel
     selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
     registered
                                     4
<PAGE>

     in such registration ("HOLDERS' COUNSEL") with an opportunity to
     participate in the preparation of such registration statement and each
     prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) to
     be filed with the SEC, which documents shall be subject to the review of
     Holders' Counsel, and (B) notify the Holders' Counsel and each seller of
     Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC
     and take all reasonable action required to prevent the entry of such stop
     order or to remove it if entered;

               (b)  prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
     supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
     connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
     statement effective for a period which will terminate when all Registrable
     Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold (but not
     before the expiration of the ninety (90) day period referred to in
     Section 4(3) of the Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable), and comply
     with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
     securities covered by such registration statement during such period in
     accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof
     set forth in such registration statement;

               (c)  furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities, prior to
     filing a registration statement, copies of such registration statement as
     is proposed to be filed, and thereafter such number of copies of such
     registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case
     including all exhibits thereto), the prospectus included in such
     registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such
     other documents as each such seller may reasonably request in order to
     facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
     seller;

               (d)  use reasonable efforts to register or qualify such
     Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
     jurisdictions as any seller of Registrable Securities requests, and to
     continue such qualification in effect in such jurisdiction for as long as
     is permissible pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction, or for as long as
     any such seller requests or until all of such Registrable Securities are
     sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other acts and things which
     may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any such seller to
     consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
     Securities owned by such seller; provided, however, that the Company shall
     not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
     where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
     5.1(d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C)
     consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                                     5
<PAGE>

               (e)  use reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
     covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by
     such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by
     virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller
     or sellers of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such
     Registrable Securities;

               (f)  notify each seller of Registrable Securities at any time
     when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
     Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of
     which, the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an
     untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
     required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
     and the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
     prospectus and furnish to each seller a reasonable number of copies of a
     supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so
     that, after delivery to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
     prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
     to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
     make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
     under which they were made;

               (g)  enter into and perform customary agreements (including an
     underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter, if any,
     selected as provided in Section 3) and take such other actions as are
     reasonably required in order to facilitate the disposition of such
     Registrable Securities;

               (h)  make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
     Securities, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition
     pursuant to such registration statement, Holders' Counsel and any attorney,
     accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any managing
     underwriter (each, an "INSPECTOR" and collectively, the "INSPECTORS"), all
     financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
     of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "RECORDS") as shall
     be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
     responsibility, and cause the Company's and its subsidiaries' officers,
     directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the
     Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
     Inspector in connection with such registration statement;

               (i)  if such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, obtain
     a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants
     in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered
     by
                                     6
<PAGE>

     "cold comfort" letters as Holders' Counsel or the managing underwriter
     reasonably requests;

               (j)  furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable
     Securities on the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters
     for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such securities are not being
     sold through underwriters, on the date the registration statement with
     respect to such securities becomes effective, an opinion, dated such date,
     of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration,
     addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the seller making such

     respect of which such opinion is being given as such seller may reasonably
     request and are customarily included in such opinions;

               (k)  otherwise use reasonable efforts to comply with all
     applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its

     satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act;

               (l)  cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each

     requirements are satisfied;

               (m)  provide officers' certificates and other customary closing
     documents;

               (n)  cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and
     each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable

     required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
     Inc. (the "NASD"); and

               (o)  use reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to
     effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

          5.2. NOTICE TO DISCONTINUE.  Each holder of Registrable Securities
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 5.1(f), such holder shall
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 5.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such
holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies,
other than

                                     7
<PAGE>

permanent file copies then in such holder's possession, of the prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt
of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall
extend the period during which such registration statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation
the period referred to in Section 5.1(b)) by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to
Section 5.1(f) to and including the date when the holder shall have received
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by and
meeting the requirements of Section 5.1(f).

     6.   REGISTRATION EXPENSES.  The Company shall pay all expenses (other
than underwriting discounts and commissions) arising from or incident to the
performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including without
limitation, (i) SEC, stock exchange, NASDAQ and NASD registration and filing
fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or
blue sky laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable
Securities), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its
independent public accountants and any other accounting and legal fees,
charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including without limitation
any expenses arising from any special audits incident to or required by any
registration or qualification), and (v) any liability insurance or other
premiums for insurance obtained by the Company and the reasonable fees,
charges and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in
connection with any piggy-back registration pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, regardless of whether such registration statement is declared
effective.  In connection with each registration hereunder, the Company shall
reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities being registered in such
registration for the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of not more
than one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of Registrable
Securities being registered in such registration.  All of the expenses
described in this Section 6 are referred to herein as "REGISTRATION EXPENSES."

     7.   INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION.

          7.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.  The Company agrees to
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable
Securities, its officers, directors, partners, employees, advisors and agents
and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange
Act) such holder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation)
arising out of or based upon any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a
material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or
preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular (as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to

                                     8
<PAGE>

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information
furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein
and provided further that the Company will not be liable to any holder of
Registrable Securities or any person controlling such holder with respect to
any loss, claim, liability, expense, charge or damage arising out of or based
on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact in any preliminary prospectus which is
corrected in the prospectus.  The Company shall also indemnify any
underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and
employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning
of the Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

          7.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS.  In connection with any
registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is
participating pursuant to Section 3 hereof, each such holder shall furnish to
the Company in writing such information with respect to such holder as the
Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in
connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and each
holder, by its participation in such registration, agrees to indemnify, to
the extent permitted by law, the Company, any underwriter retained by the
Company and their respective directors, officers, employees and each Person
who controls the Company or such underwriter (within the meaning of the Act
and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to the holders of Registrable Securities, but only with respect to
any such information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such holder.

          7.3. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS.  Any Person entitled
to indemnification hereunder (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the
"REGISTRATION RIGHTS INDEMNIFYING PARTY") after the receipt by the
Registration Rights Indemnified Party of any written notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat
thereof made in writing for which the Registration Rights Indemnified Party
intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, that the failure so to notify the Registration Rights Indemnifying
Party shall not relieve the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party of any
liability that it may have to the Registration Rights Indemnified Party
hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the
Registration Rights Indemnifying Party's forfeiture of substantial rights or
defenses.  If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the
Registration Rights Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Registration
Rights Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent it may wish, jointly with any other Registration Rights Indemnifying
Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own
expense, with counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to such Registration
Rights Indemnified Party.  The Registration Rights

                                     9
<PAGE>

Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be paid by
the Registration Rights Indemnified Party unless (i) the Registration Rights
Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Registration Rights
Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel
satisfactory to the Registration Rights Indemnified Party in its reasonable
judgment, (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded
parties) have been advised by such counsel that either (A) representation of
such Registration Rights Indemnified Party and the Registration Rights
Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct or (B) there may be one or more
legal defenses available to the Registration Rights Indemnified Party which
are different from or additional to those available to the Registration
Rights Indemnifying Party.  No Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall,
without the prior written consent of each Registration Rights Indemnified
Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the
Registration Rights Indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto.
In either of such cases the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
Registration Rights Indemnified Party.  No Registration Rights Indemnifying
Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.

          7.4. CONTRIBUTION.  If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to a Registration Rights
Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in
lieu of indemnifying such Registration Rights Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Registration Rights
Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Registration Rights Indemnifying Party and Registration Rights
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Registration
Rights Indemnifying Party and Registration Rights 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 to state a material fact, has been made by,
or relates to information supplied by, such Registration Rights Indemnifying
Party or Registration Rights Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.1,
7.2 and 7.3, any legal or other

                                     10
<PAGE>

fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection
with any investigation or proceeding.

          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person.

                                     11
<PAGE>

     8.   RULE 144.  The Company covenants that it shall file any reports
required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder; and that it shall take such
further action as each holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rules
144 and 144A under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time
to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided
by (a) Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Act, as such rules may be amended from
time to time, or (b) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by
the SEC.  The Company shall, upon the request of any holder of Registrable
Securities, deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

     9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

modified or amended, and waivers and consents to the performance and
observance of the terms hereof may be given by written instrument executed

right to require such performance at any time thereafter (unless performance
thereof has been waived in accordance with the terms hereof for all purposes
and at all times by the parties to whom the benefit of such performance is to
be rendered).  The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any
provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach of such provision of any other provision or as a waiver of the
provision itself.

          9.2.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the
