          3.2     Obligations  of the Holder.  It shall be a condition precedent
                  --------------------------
to the obligation of the Company to register the Registrable Securities pursuant
to  Section  3.1  hereof  that  the  Holder  shall  furnish  to the Company such
information  regarding  the  Registrable  Securities held by it and the intended
method of disposition thereof and other information concerning the Holder as the
Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the
registration  statement  to  be  filed  by  the  Company.

          3.3     Registration  Proceedings.  From  the  date  of this Agreement
                  -------------------------
until the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement have been
sold  or  for six months after effectiveness, whichever is the shorter period of
time  (the  "Registration  Period"),  the  Company  shall:

               (a)     Prepare  and  file  with the SEC a registration statement

               (c)     Furnish to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of
the  registration  statement,  preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such
other  documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
public  offering  of  such  securities;

               (d)     Use  all  reasonable  efforts  to register or qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such state securities or
"Blue  Sky"  laws  of  such  jurisdictions  as the Holder may reasonably request
within  20  days  prior  to  the original filing of such registration statement,
except  that  the Company shall not for any purpose be required to qualify to do
business  as  a  foreign  corporation  in  any jurisdiction wherein it is not so

<PAGE>
               (e)     Notify the Holder, promptly after it shall receive notice
thereof,  of the time when such registration statement has become effective or a
supplement  to  any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has
been  filed;

               (f)     Notify  the Holder promptly of any request by the SEC for
the  amending  or  supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or
for  additional  information;

               (g)     Prepare  and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request
of  the  Holder, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or
prospectus  which,  in the opinion of counsel for the Holder, are required under
the  Securities  Act  or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with
the  distribution  of  Common  Stock  by  the  Holder;

               (h)     Prepare  and  promptly  file  with  the  SEC and promptly
notify  the  Holder  of  the  filing  of  such  amendment  or supplement to such
registration  statement  or  prospectus  as  may  be  necessary  to  correct any
statements  or  omissions  if,  at  the  time when a prospectus relating to such
securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall
have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus
as  then  in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the  circumstances  in  which  they  were  made,  not  misleading;

               (i)     In case the Holder is required to deliver a prospectus at
a  time  when  the  prospectus then in circulation is not in compliance with the
Securities Act, the Company will prepare and file such supplements or amendments

necessary  to  permit  compliance  with  the requirements of the Securities Act;

               (j)     Advise the Holder, promptly after it shall receive notice
or  obtain  knowledge  thereof,  of  the  issuance  of any stop order by the SEC
suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or
threatening  of  any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use all reasonable
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if
such  stop  order  should  be  issued;  and

               (k)     Not file any amendment or supplement to such registration
statement  or  prospectus  to which the Holder shall reasonably have objected on
the  grounds  that  such amendment or supplement does not comply in all material
respects  with  the  requirements  of  the  Securities  Act  or  the  rules  and
regulations thereunder, after having been furnished with a copy thereof at least
two  business  days  prior  to  the  filing  thereof.

                  --------
Securities  in  a  registration  statement  pursuant  to Section 3.1 hereof, all
registration  expenses,  fees,  costs  and  expenses  of  and incidental to such
registration,  including  any  pubic  offering in connection therewith, shall be
borne by the Company (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
acting solely on behalf of the Holder); provided, however, that the Holder shall
bear  its  own  brokerage commissions and fees.  The fees, costs and expenses of
registration  to  be borne by the Company shall include, without limitation, all
registration,  filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel
and  accountants  for  the  Company  (including  the  cost  of any special audit
requested  in  order  to  effect  such  registration),  all  legal  fees  and
disbursements  and  other  expenses  of complying with state securities or "Blue
Sky"  laws  of  any jurisdiction in which the securities to be offered are to be
registered  or  qualified.

          3.5     Indemnification  of the Holder.  Subject to the conditions set
                  ------------------------------
forth  below,  in  connection  with  any  registration of securities pursuant to
Section  3.1  hereof,  the  Company  agrees  to indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder  as  follows:

               (a)     Against  any  and  all  loss,  claim,  damage and expense
whatsoever  arising out of or based upon (including, but not limited to, any and
all  expense  whatsoever  reasonably  incurred  in  investigating,  preparing or
defending any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based
upon) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary  prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of the registration
statement),  the registration statement or the final prospectus (as from time to
time  amended  and supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the SEC any
amendment  thereof or supplement thereto) if used within the period during which
the  Company  is  required  to  keep  the  registration  statement or prospectus
current,  or  in  any  application  or other document executed by the Company or
based  upon  written  information  furnished  by  the  Company  filed  in  any
jurisdiction  in  order to qualify the Company's securities under the securities
laws  thereof;  or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
required  to  be  stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light  of  the  circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or any
other  violation  of  applicable  federal  or  state  statutory  or  regulatory
requirements or limitations relating to action or inaction by the Company in the
course of preparing, filing, or implementing such registered offering; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.5(a) shall not
apply  to  any  loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based
upon  (i)  any  untrue  or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon  and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Company
by  or  on  behalf of the Holder expressly for use in connection therewith, (ii)
the  Holder's  failure to deliver a prospectus relating to such registration, if
the  Company  had  previously  furnished  copies  thereof, or (iii) the Holder's
failure  to  deliver an amended or supplemental prospectus after the Company had
previously  provided  the  notice  and the supplemental or amended prospectus as
specified  in Section 3.4 if such loss, claim, damage, liability or action would
not  have  arisen  had  such  delivery  occurred;

                                        5
<PAGE>
               (b)     Subject  to the proviso contained in the last sentence of
Section  3.5(a)  above,  against  any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense  whatsoever  to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of
any  litigation,  commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
any  such  untrue  statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission  (including,  but  not  limited  to,  any  and  all  expense whatsoever
reasonably  incurred  in  investigating, preparing or defending against any such
litigation  or claim) if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
the  Company  and  no  indemnity shall inure to the benefit of the Holder if the
person  asserting  the claim failed to receive a copy of the final prospectus at
or  prior  to  the written confirmation of the sale of shares of Common Stock to
such person if the untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such final
prospectus  and  the failure to receive such final prospectus is not a necessary
element  of  such  person's  claim;

               (c)     In  no  case  shall  the  Company  be  liable  under this
indemnity agreement with respect to any claim made against the Holder unless the
Company  shall be notified, by letter or by telegram confirmed by letter, of any
claim made or action commenced against it, reasonably promptly (but in any event
within  20  days  of  receipt of such claim or, in the event that any summons or
other  service  of process requires a responsive pleading within 30 days or less
time,  within ten days after receipt of such summons or other process) after the
Holder  shall have received notice of such claim or been served with the summons
or  other  legal  process  giving  information as to the nature and basis of the
claim,  but  failure  to  so  notify  the  Company shall not relieve it from any
liability  which  it  may  have  otherwise  than  on  account  of this indemnity
agreement.  The  Company  shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in
the  defense  of  any suit brought to enforce any such claim, but if the Company
elects  to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen
by  it, provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.  In
the  event  the Company elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain
such  counsel,  the  Holder shall, after the date the Holder is notified of such
election,  bear  the fees and expenses of any counsel thereafter retained by the
Holder  as  well  as  any  other  expenses  thereafter incurred by the Holder in
connection  with  the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
bear  the  fees and expenses of any such separate counsel retained by the Holder
if the counsel representing the Company has a conflict of interest (which is not
waived)  with the Holder which would prohibit such counsel from representing the
Holder.

          3.6     Indemnification of Company.  In connection with any registered
                  --------------------------
offering  pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Holder agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and each of the officers and directors and agents of it and
each  other  person,  if  any,  who  controls  the Company within the meaning of
Section  15  of the Securities Act against any and all such losses, liabilities,
claims,  damages  and  expenses  as are indemnified against by the Company under
Section  3.5  hereof;  provided,  however,

                                        6
<PAGE>
that  such  indemnification shall be limited to statements or omissions, if any,
made  (or  in  settlement of any litigation effected with the written consent of
the  Holder  alleged  to  have  been  made)  in  any preliminary prospectus, the
registration  statement  or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof or
any  application  or  other  document  in reliance upon, and in conformity with,
written  information  furnished in respect of the Holder, by or on behalf of the
Holder  expressly  for  use  in  any  preliminary  prospectus,  the registration
statement  or  prospectus  or any amendment or supplement thereof or in any such
application  or other document.  In case any action shall be brought against the
Company, or any other person so indemnified based on any preliminary prospectus,
the  registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof
or any such application or other documents, in respect of which indemnity may be
sought  against  the  Holder,  it  shall have the rights and duties given to the
Company,  and  each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties
given  to  the  Holder, by the provisions of Section 3.5(c) hereof.  The Company
agrees  to  notify  the Holder promptly after the assertion of any claim against
the Company in connection with the sale of securities covered by this Agreement.

          3.7     Future  Registration  Rights.  The  Company may agree with its
                  ----------------------------
shareholders  other  than  the  Holder  to  allow  their  participation  in  the
registered  offering pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, provided all such rights of
participation  under  Section  3.1 hereof shall be subordinated to the rights of
the  Holder  herein,  in  a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and its
counsel.

          3.8     Certain  Defined  Terms.  The  following  terms shall have the
                  -----------------------
following  respective  meanings  for  purposes  of  this  Agreement:

               (a)     "Holder"  or  "Holders" means (i) the Purchaser, and (ii)
each  person  holding Registrable Securities as a result of a permitted transfer
or  assignment  to  that  person  of  Registrable  Securities.

               (b)     "Registrable  Securities"  shall  mean the Shares and any
securities  issued  to  any  Holder  in exchange or substitution for the Shares;
provided,  however, that such Shares or securities shall cease to be Registrable
Securities  when  (i)  a registration statement with respect to the sale of such
Shares  or  securities  shall have become effective under the Securities Act and
all  such  Shares  or  securities  have been disposed of in accordance with such
registration  statement,  (ii)  such  Shares  or  the securities shall have been
resold  by  the  Holder thereof in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities
Act,  (iii)  such Shares or securities shall have been otherwise transferred and
new  certificates  not subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act
and  not  bearing  any  legend  restricting  further  transfer  shall  have been
delivered  by  the  Company,  and  no  other  applicable  and  legally  binding
restriction  on transfer under federal and state securities laws shall exist, or
(iv)  such Shares or securities may be sold in accordance with Rule 144(k) under
the  Securities  Act.

                  (b) From time to time after the Closing Date, Seller will, at

things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings against or governmental
investigations of Buyer or (ii) in order to enable Buyer to comply with its
obligations under the Code, any other applicable statute with respect to
taxation, this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 11.1 Indemnification.

         Seller under this Agreement or any of the Seller Documents or (B) any
         breach of covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this
         Agreement, or any of the Seller Documents;

of this Agreement);

                  (B) any claims for any injury to person or property
attributable to any services rendered by Seller prior to the Closing Date,
regardless of whether such claims are asserted prior to or after the Closing;

                  (C) any claims by any employee or former employee of Seller
arising out of the employment or termination of employment of the employee or
former employee on or prior to the Closing Date or as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

         agreements, arrangements or understandings made by or on behalf of
         Seller, for any brokerage fees, finder's fees, commissions or like
         payments in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

                  (iv) all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments,

                  (iii) to the extent Buyer is not indemnified with respect

         ownership or operation of the Assets subsequent to the Closing Date,
         including, without limitation, any claims by any employee or former
         employee of Buyer arising out of the employment or termination of
         employment of the employee or former employee subsequent to the Closing

                                       20
<PAGE>

                  (iv) any liabilities and obligations, based in any way on
         agreements, arrangements or understandings made by or on behalf of
         Buyer, for any brokerage fees, finder's fees, commissions or like
         payments in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
         and

                  (v) all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments,
         judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including reasonable
         attorneys' fees, incident to the foregoing.

         Section 11.2 Procedures for Indemnification. Whenever a claim shall
arise for indemnification under Section 11.1 above, with the exception of claims
for litigation expenses in respect of a litigation as to which a notice of
claim, as provided below in this Section 11.2, has previously been given, which
expenses shall be funded on an ongoing basis, the party entitled to
indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the party from
whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of such claim and,
when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided, however,
that in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or
in connection with any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the
Indemnified Party shall give such notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party not
later than 10 business days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim
is required, if possible, and in any event within 5 business days following
receipt of notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to
the contrary, the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying
Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability for
indemnification it may have if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
shall not have been prejudiced by such omission. In the event of any such claim
for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or Legal
Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and
expense, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall first have agreed in writing that it does not and will not contest
its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of Losses
attributable to such claim or Legal Proceeding; and, provided, further, that
Seller shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any claim or Legal
Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with respect to a period ending after the
Closing Date. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or
Legal Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to select counsel and
take all steps necessary in the defense thereof; provided, however, that no
settlement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if the Indemnified
Party shall withhold its consent to any monetary settlement proposed by the
Indemnifying Party and which the other party to the action has indicated it is
prepared to accept, the Indemnified Party shall in no event be deemed for
purposes of this Agreement, to have suffered Losses in connection with such
claim or proceeding in excess of the proposed amount of such settlement);
provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense,
participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its choice without any
right of control thereof. So long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith
defending such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not
compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the
Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or Legal
Proceeding in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend
(and, in the case of any claim or Legal Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with
respect to a period ending after the Closing Date, shall defend) against such
claim or Legal Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including,
but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation (after giving prior

                                       21
<PAGE>

written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem
appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified
Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2; provided, however,
that if the Indemnified Party does not obtain the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party to any such settlement, and such written consent is not
unreasonably withheld by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not
be entitled to indemnification hereunder from such Indemnifying Party with
respect to the claim settled. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.2 to
the contrary, if, in any claim or Legal Proceeding with respect to which the
Indemnified Party has given the notice required under this Section 11.2, (i) the
Indemnifying Party shall not have promptly employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have
reasonably concluded, based upon the opinion of its outside legal counsel, that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from
or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then in either event
(x) the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with the
counsel of its choice, the expense for which shall be borne by the Indemnifying
Party (but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel employed by the Indemnified Party with
respect to such claim or proceeding) and (y) the Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to direct the defense of any such action on behalf of the
Indemnified Party.

         Section 11.3 Determination of Damages and Related Matters. (a) For
purposes of indemnification under Sections 11.1(a)(i)(A) and 11.1(b)(i)(A), any
breach of any representation or warranty shall be deemed to constitute a breach
of such representation or warranty notwithstanding any limitation or
qualification as to materiality set forth in such representation or warranty on
the scope, accuracy or completeness thereto, it being the intention of the
parties hereto that, each Indemnified Party shall be indemnified and held
harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon or
with respect to the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true,
correct and complete in any respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Indemnifying Party shall be liable for purposes of indemnification under Section
11.1(a)(i)(A) or Section 11.1(b)(i)(A) until the amount of the Losses arising
thereunder exceed $20,000, at which time the Indemnifying Party shall be liable
for any and all Losses.

                  (a) To the extent any payment under this Article XI cannot
properly be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration for Tax purposes, then
any such amount shall be increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred
by the Indemnified Party by reason of the receipt of any indemnity payment
(grossed-up for such increase). Any payment to an Indemnified Party pursuant to
this Article XI shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually
realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of the taxable year in which such
Loss is incurred or paid and, with respect to a Tax benefit arising in a year
subsequent to the year in which the Loss is paid or incurred, the Indemnified
Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit
(including, as relevant, any member of its Affiliated Group) when such Tax
benefit is actually realized. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or
Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items
of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising
from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment
of any indemnified loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  (b) In the absence of fraud or willful misconduct on the part
of the Indemnifying Party or any of its employees or agents, an Indemnifying
Party shall not have liability for Losses indemnifiable under Section 11.1(a) or
Section 11.1(b) in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate; provided, however,
that the foregoing cap shall not apply to any Losses in respect of Taxes for
which Seller has indemnified Buyer under Section 11.1(a).

                  (c) Until the earlier of three years after the Closing Date
and such time as it is no longer possible in law or fact for the Indemnified
Party to sustain Losses by reason of any breach hereof or to assert a claim with
respect to any such breach or Losses, except as otherwise provided herein, the
indemnification provisions of this Article XI shall survive.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                   TERMINATION

         Section 12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (i) by the
written agreement of Seller and Buyer or, (ii) by either Seller or Buyer by
written notice to the other given after the date that is thirty (30) days after
the date of this Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
such date.

         Section 12.2 Liabilities After Termination. Upon any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1 above, no party hereto shall thereafter
have any further liability or obligation hereunder; provided, however, that no
such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability for any breach
of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination and provided, further,
that Seller shall remain bound by Section 5.3 above, Buyer shall remain bound by
Section 6.2 above, and each of Seller and Buyer shall remain bound by Section
13.5 below.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Seller and
Buyer hereby agree that the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement, as supplemented or modified by any amendments to the Schedules hereto
made on or prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and shall further survive the Closing hereunder for a period
of three years from the Closing Date, regardless of any investigation made by
the parties hereto; provided, however, that the representations and warranties
contained in Section 3.13 shall survive for the applicable statute of
limitations plus 90 days.

         Section 13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (with its Schedules and
Exhibits) contains, and is intended as, a complete statement of, all of the
terms and the arrangements between the parties hereto with respect to the
matters provided for herein, and supersedes any previous agreements and
understandings among the parties hereto with respect to those matters.

         Section 13.3 Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and all
agreements related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be made, executed,
delivered and performed wholly in such state, but without regard to conflicts of
law principles of such state. The table of contents, captions and headings in
this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall be given no effect in

                                       23
<PAGE>

the construction and interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement shall be construed against either party because such party drafted or
caused to be drafted such provision. Each provision of this Agreement shall be
construed as if such provision were proposed by both Buyer and Seller.

         Section 13.4 Transfer Taxes. Seller shall pay when due (i) all transfer
and documentary taxes and fees imposed with respect to instruments of conveyance
in the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) all sales, use and other
transfer or similar taxes on the transfer of the Assets contemplated hereby.
Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller at the Closing any certificates or

         Section 13.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to Buyer, Seller, or any Person or circumstance,
shall be held invalid, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application
of such provision to persons, entities or circumstances other than those as to
which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.

         Section 13.8 Binding Effect; No Assignment.

                  (e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party
beneficiary rights in any Person not party to this Agreement. Except as
expressly permitted below, no assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or
obligations hereunder may be made by either party (by operation of law or

                  (f) Prior to the Closing, Buyer may assign any and all of its

directly and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of such assignee under
this Agreement. After the Closing, Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and
obligations with respect to the Assets without the consent of Seller, provided
that Buyer shall cause its obligations to Seller under this Agreement in respect
of the Acquisition to be binding upon any successor to Buyer and Buyer shall
directly and unconditionally guarantee the obligations of such successor.

         Section 13.9 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or
modified, and any provision hereof may be waived, only pursuant to a written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by each of the
