basis pursuant to Rule 415. Such shelf 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
another appropriate Form in accordance herewith).

            The Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the
Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement and (ii) use
its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but
in any event prior to the Effectiveness Date, and to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is
the earlier of (x) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such

<PAGE>

have been sold or (y) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be
sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any successor provision
as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion
letter, addressed to the Company's transfer agent to such effect (the
"EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD"). If the Company is notified orally or in writing by the
Commission that the Commission has no comments with respect to the Registration
Statement (the "COMMISSION NOTICE"), the Company shall use its best efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than five (5)
business days after receipt of the Commission Notice. If an additional
Registration Statement is required to be filed because the actual number of
shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the
number of shares of Common Stock initially registered in respect of the Warrant
Shares based upon the computation on the Closing Date or the Filing Date, the
Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days to file such additional
Registration Statement, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
additional Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as
soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after filing.

            If, during the three (3) year period immediately following the
Effectiveness Period, any of the Registrable Securities have not been sold
pursuant to the shelf registration statement contemplated in the two preceding
paragraphs and such Registrable Securities may not be sold without any
restriction pursuant to the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (by virtue of the fact that such person may be deemed to
be an "affiliate" of the Company), then Holders of a then majority in interest
of outstanding Registrable Securities may exercise one (1) demand registration
right with respect thereto by delivering to the Company a written notice (a
"DEMAND REGISTRATION NOTICE") informing the Company of such exercise and
specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be offered by such Holder.
Upon receipt of a Demand Registration Notice, the Company will notify all other
Holders of Registrable Securities and cause to be filed with the Commission as
soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Demand Registration Notice
(but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice) a
new registration statement and related prospectus (a "NEW REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") that complies as to Form in all material respects with applicable
Commission rules providing for the sale by all such Holders of then outstanding
Registrable Securities, and agrees to use its best efforts to cause such new
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as
practicable.

            3.    REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the Company's
registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

                  (a) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the
Filing Date, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or if the Company is not then
eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 such
registration shall be on another appropriate Form in accordance herewith) and
use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and
remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that not less than ten
(10) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any
document that would be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i)
furnish to the Holders and Special Counsel, copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed and shall use its reasonable best efforts to reflect in
each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as any
Holder may

                                       4
<PAGE>

reasonably propose and (ii) at the request of any Holder 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 counsel to
such Holders, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the
Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any
such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders'
Representative or the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within
five (5) Business Days of their receipt thereof.

                  (b)(i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement 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 amendments in order to register for resale under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related
Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any
similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii)
respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission
with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as
promptly as possible provide the Holders' Representative and Special Counsel
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 Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as
so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

                  (c) Notify the Holders' Representative (and in the case of
(c)(i), (iii), (iv) and (v) hereof the Holders) and Special Counsel as promptly
as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) Business
Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such
notice in writing no later than one (1) Business Day following the day (i)(A)
when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission
notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration
Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (ii) of
any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of
any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event that requires any revisions to
the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or

                                       5
<PAGE>

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
the 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) If requested by any Holder of the Registrable Securities,
(i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement such information as should be included therein and
(ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received
notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment.

                  (f) Furnish to each Holder and Special 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.

                  (g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and Special Counsel,
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each
Form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may
reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

                  (h) Promptly use its reasonable best efforts to register or
qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and Special 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 Holder 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 required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

                  (i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities
to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be
free of all restrictive legends when sold or transferred pursuant to the
Registration Statement, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request within two
(2) Business Days after such request.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
3(c)(v), as promptly as possible, (i) 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, and (ii) advise the Holders as to when they may resume
distribution of the Registrable Securities.

                  (k) Use its best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common
Stock on The Nasdaq National Market and cause all Registrable Securities
relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on The Nasdaq National
Market or any such other securities exchange, quotation system, market or
over-the-counter bulletin board, if any, on which the Common Stock is then
listed.

                  (l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security
holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month
period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a
fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the
Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement
shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.

                  (m) Request each selling Holder to furnish to the Company
information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable
Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement.

                  (n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding
the Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "BOARD") reasonably
determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the
Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant
business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or
disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's
best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose
under the Registration Statement, then the Company may suspend use of a
registration statement for a period not to exceed twenty (20) consecutive days,
provided that the Company may not suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n)
for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any 12-month period
(each, a "BLACKOUT PERIOD"); provided, however, that no such suspension shall be
permitted for consecutive twenty (20) day periods, arising out of the same set
of facts, circumstances or transactions; and provided further, that if the
Company decides to suspend its obligation pursuant to this sentence, it shall
give written notice of such suspension to the Holders and Special Counsel to
that effect. If the Company shall give notice of the occurrence of any event of
the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) and 3(c)(v) or of
the postponement or suspension of the Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section 3(n), then the Effectiveness Period shall be

                                       7

extended by the number of days during such period from and including the date of
the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Holder shall have
received (i) the copies of the supplement or amendment to the Registration
Statement contemplated by Section 3(j) (if an amended or supplemental prospectus
is required) or (ii) the Advice (as defined below) (if no supplement or
amendment to the Registration Statement is required).

                  (o) Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with
the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them
in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement. Each Holder further agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable
Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v) or 3(n),
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the
copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement
contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE")
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed.

            4.    REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All fees and expenses incident to the

<PAGE>

            5.    UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. If any of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering must be acceptable to the Holders'
Representative, subject to the consent of the Company (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything else herein to the
contrary, such Holders shall be responsible for all underwriting commissions and
discounts in connection therewith.

            No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis
reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements agreed to by the Holders'
Representative and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents agreed to by
the Holders' Representative reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

            6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company
shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents and employees of each of
them, each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any such Holder and the
officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation,
reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses
(collectively, "LOSSES"), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Prospectus or any Form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
Prospectus or Form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based
solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was
reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved
in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such
Prospectus or such Form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party and shall survive the
transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

                  (b) INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS. Each Holder shall, severally
and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or 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
incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
Form of prospectus, or

                                       9
<PAGE>

arising solely out of or based solely upon 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 Holder to the
Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such
Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company
for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such Form of
prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Holder
shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount as does not exceed
the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

                  (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 promptly shall notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing, and
the Indemnifying Party may 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.

            An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and 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.

                  (d) CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under Section
6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable or insufficient to an Indemnified Party, 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,

                                       10
<PAGE>

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 this Agreement,
any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses reasonably
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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, none of the Holders shall not be liable or required to contribute under
this Section 6(d) for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such
Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect
to any action or claim settled without its written consent; provided however,
that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld.

            The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6(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.
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.

            7. RULE 144. As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities,
the Company shall 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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act and to promptly furnish such Holders with true and complete copies of all
such filings. As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, if the
Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly
available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act
annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and
analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially
similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports
required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other
information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have
been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further
shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions referred to in the Purchase Agreement.
Upon the written request of any Holder,

                                       11
<PAGE>

the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

            8.    MISCELLANEOUS. (a) REMEDIES. In the event of a breach by the
Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each
Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not
provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by
it of any of the provisions of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the provisions of this
Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled
at law or in equity.

                  (b) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has not, as of the
date hereof entered into any agreement that is currently in effect, nor shall
the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to
the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of
the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the
Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to
register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the
rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the
Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions
of this Agreement.

                  (c) NO PIGGYBACK ON REGISTRATIONS. Neither the Company nor any
of its security holders (other than the Holders of Registrable Securities) may
include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the Company
shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to
any of its security holders, unless the right so granted is subject in all
respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and is not
otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (d) PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time when there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering (i) shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (ii) Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants, the Company shall determine to 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, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the
Securities Act) or its then equivalents relating to equity securities to be
issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or
equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans, the Company shall send to each Holder of Registrable Securities
written notice of such determination and, if within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing (which
request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by
the Holders), the Company will use its best efforts to cause the registration
under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has
been so requested to register by such Holder, to the extent necessary to permit
the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that
if at any time after giving written

                                       12
<PAGE>

notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective
date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration,
the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay
registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a
determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register
any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration pursuant to this
Section 8(d) (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with
Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering,
shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being
registered pursuant to this Section 8(d) for the same period as the delay in
registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such
registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that, subject to Section 2
hereof, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 8(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k)
of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the
managing underwriter should reasonably object to the inclusion of the
Registrable Securities in such registration statement, and reasonably determine
that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would materially adversely
affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on
such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer
or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of
Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement
shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration) if the
underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y)
none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such
registration statement if the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of
such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being
offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company,
such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of
Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction
of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the
Company).

                  (e) DEFAULT PAYMENT; REDEMPTION. (i) The Company and the
Investors agree that the Investors will suffer damages if the Registration
Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or not declared effective
by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date or not maintained in the
manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if certain other
events occur. The Company and the Investors further agree that if (i) the
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or is not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date (or
in the event an additional Registration Statement is filed because the actual
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable exceeds
the number of shares of Common Stock initially registered and is not filed and
declared effective within the time periods set forth in Section 2), or (ii) the
Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration within five
(5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in
writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement
will not be "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (iii) the
Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission
but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any
time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period for more than 90 days
in the aggregate, without being succeeded within 30 days by a subsequent
Registration Statement filed with and declared

                                       13
<PAGE>

effective by the Commission or within two (2) calendar days following written
notice by a Holder of its intent to sell, or (iv) the Company breaches in a
material respect any covenant or other material term or condition to this
Agreement, and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof to the Company, or (v) the Company has breached Section
3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an
"EVENT"), the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 35 days after
such event) pay a default payment for such failure to each Holder an amount
equal to 1.5% of such Holder's pro rata share of the purchase price paid by such
Holder for all of the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Purchase
Agreement and then owned by such Holder on the date of such Event for each
30-day period (or any portion thereof) such Event shall be continuing (the
"DEFAULT AMOUNT"). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be
due and payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock based upon the then Market
Price on the due date of each payment. In the event such payment is not made on
such respective due date, such Default Payment shall accrue interest at the rate
of 15% per annum. For purposes of this Agreement, "MARKET PRICE" shall mean the
average of the closing sales prices per share of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq
National Market (or such other registered national stock exchange on which the
Common Stock is then listed) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
immediately preceding such measurement date, or if the Common Stock is not
listed then on The Nasdaq National Market or any registered national stock
exchange, the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the
National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on
such date, or if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board
or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the "Pink
Sheet" quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by
the holder, or if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an Independent Appraiser (as
defined below) selected in good faith by the Holders' Representative; provided,
however, that the Issuer, after receipt of the determination by such Independent
Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional Independent Appraiser,
in which case, the fair market value shall be equal to the average of the
determinations by each such Independent Appraiser; and provided, further that
all determinations of the Market Price shall be appropriately adjusted for any
stock dividends, stock splits or other similar transactions during such period.
The Company shall pay all costs and expenses of each Independent Appraiser. The
determination of fair market value by an Independent Appraiser shall be based
upon the fair market value of the Company determined on a going concern basis as
between a willing buyer and a willing seller and taking into account all
relevant factors determinative of value, and shall be final and binding on all
parties. In determining the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock, no
consideration shall be given to any restrictions on transfer of the Common Stock
imposed by agreement or by federal or state securities laws, or to the existence
or absence of, or any limitations on, voting rights. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Independent Appraiser" shall mean an independent investment
banking firm or accounting firm of national or regional reputation.

                        (i) If the Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, each holder of
Registrable Securities shall have the right, subject to Delaware law and then
applicable bank restrictions, if any, to cause the

                                       14
<PAGE>

Company to redeem the Registrable Securities held by such holder for a period of
30 calendar days following such first anniversary at a redemption price equal to
the higher of (a) 130% of the Purchase Price per Share and (b) the Market Price.

                  (f) SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT, CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Each of the
Company and the Holders (A) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of
the United States District Court sitting in the Southern District of New York
and if jurisdiction of such Federal courts is not available, the state courts of
New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement and (B) hereby waives, and
agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it
is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit,
action or Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
the suit, action or Proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holders
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or Proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 8(f)
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.

                  (g) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as provided in Section 8.3
of the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and each of the
Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the
provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of
any other Holders may be given by Holders to which such waiver or consent
relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be
amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence.

                  (h) NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or
deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing

recognized overnight courier service or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom

assignment, (ii) the Company is, as promptly as possible after such transfer or
assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such

of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the

the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original
thereof.

            Re:    JLM Industries, Inc.
                   --------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            We are counsel to JLM Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Purchase Agreement (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") entered into by and among the
Company and the other signatures thereto (the "INVESTORS") pursuant to which the
Company issued to the Investors 2,173,913 shares of its common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), and issued to the warrant holders (the
"WARRANT HOLDERS" and, together with the Investors, the "Holders") warrants to
purchase up to 675,000 shares of the Common Stock (the "WARRANTS"). Pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Holders (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT") pursuant to
which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"). In connection with the
Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________
___, 2001, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form (File No.
333-_____________) (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which
names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.

            In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the
SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME
OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge,
after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    [COMPANY'S COUNSEL]

                                       A-1<PAGE>

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.7

                                    AGREEMENT

            AGREEMENT dated as of June 28, 2001 by and among JLM Industries,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), Phoenix Enterprises LLC
("PHOENIX") and Mr. Philip S. Sassower ("SASSOWER"), who together with Phoenix,
are collectively referred to as the "HOLDERS" and individually as a "HOLDER".

            WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this agreement (the
"AGREEMENT");

            NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

represents to the Holders that (i) it has the full legal right, power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, (ii) the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by the Company has been duly authorized by the
Company, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or
similar laws relating to, or affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights
generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in equity or at law).

            Section 1.2 REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLDERS. Each Holder hereby
represents to the Company that (i) such Holder has the full legal right, power
and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, (ii) the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Phoenix has been duly authorized by Phoenix, and
(iii) this Agreement constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and
delivered at or prior to Closing, a valid and binding obligation of the Holders
enforceable against the Holders in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws relating to, or
affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally and by general
equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or
at law).

                                   ARTICLE II

                              STANDSTILL PROVISIONS

            Section 2.1 STANDSTILL PROVISIONS. (a) During the Term (as defined
below), each Holder will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates (as defined
below) not to, either alone or as part of a "group" (as such term is used in
Section 13d-5 (as such rule is currently in effect) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), directly or indirectly:

<PAGE>

                        (i) make, or in any way participate, directly or
indirectly, in any "solicitation in opposition" (as such term is defined or used
in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act);

                        (ii) initiate or propose any "shareholder proposals" for
submission to a vote of stockholders, whether by action at a stockholder meeting
or by written consent with respect to the Company, as such term is used in
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act;

                        (iii) form, join or in any way participate in a group to
take any actions otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; or

                        (iv) enter into any arrangements or understandings with
any third party with respect to any of the foregoing.

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Affiliate" shall
have meaning given to such term under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            Section 3.1 FEES AND EXPENSES. The Company shall pay the fees and
expenses of all attorneys, accountants and other advisors, if any, of the
parties hereto and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

            Section 3.2 SEVERABILITY. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

            Section 3.3 SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. (a) The
parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any provision of this Agreement was not preformed in accordance with its
specific terms or was otherwise breached, and further acknowledge and agree that
money damages are an inadequate remedy for the breach of this agreement because
of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that would be suffered in
the event of such breach. The parties accordingly agree that the other party
shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of any provision of this
Agreement and injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or cure breaches
of any provision of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they may be entitled by law or equity.

                  (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state courts of the State of
New York located in New York City and (ii) the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.
Each of the parties hereto agrees to commence any action, suit or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

proceeding relating hereto in the state courts of the State of New York located
in New York City, or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought
in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York. Each party hereto further agrees that
service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to
such party's respective address set forth below shall be effective service of
process for any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court with
respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section
3.3(b). Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection
to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the state courts of the
State of New York located in New York City and the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that
any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.

            Section 3.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby
and this Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by
the parties hereto.

            Section 3.5 NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or
