                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Date of Issuance:  February 28, 2005                         Certificate No. W-1

                  THIS IS TO CERTIFY that ROYNAT MERCHANT CAPITAL INC., a
Delaware corporation, and its transferees, successors and assigns (the
"Holder"), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, is entitled to purchase from THOMAS EQUIPMENT,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at the price of $3.00 per share
(subject to adjustment as provided herein) (the "Exercise Price"), at any time
after the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") and expiring on August 28, 2006
(the "Expiration Date"), 1,000,000 shares of the fully paid and nonassessable
common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock") of the Company (as such
number may be adjusted as provided herein). The 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment as provided herein) which may be purchased pursuant to
this Warrant are referred to herein as the "Aggregate Number," which represents
the number of shares that as of the date hereof would constitute % of all issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on a Fully Diluted basis
(as defined below). This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this "Warrant") is
issued under and pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement by and among
the Company, the holder and the Guarantors, dated as of February 28, 2005, as
amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Subscription Agreement").
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
Section 11 hereof unless otherwise defined herein.

         SECTION 1.   THE WARRANT; TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

         (a) The Warrant. This Warrant and the rights and privileges of the
Holder hereunder may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part as provided
herein; shall survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement or repayment
of the Debenture issued pursuant thereto; and this Warrant may be transferred by
the Holder to any other Person or Persons who meet the requirements set forth
herein at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, regardless of
whether the Holder retains any or all rights under the Subscription Agreement.

         (b) Transfer and Exchanges. The Company shall initially record this
Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company with its other stock books
from time to time thereafter shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant on such
register when surrendered for transfer in accordance with the terms hereof and
properly endorsed, accompanied by appropriate instructions, and further
accompanied by payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to

<PAGE>

the order of the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any
stamp or other tax or governmental charge or fee required to be paid in
connection with the transfer thereof. Upon any such transfer, a new warrant or
warrants shall be issued to the transferee and the Holder (in the event the
Warrant is only partially transferred) and the surrendered warrant shall be
canceled. Each such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights of the Holder
under the Subscription Agreement. This Warrant may be exchanged at the option of
the Holder, when surrendered at the Principal Office of the Company or an office
of the registrar and transfer agent for the Warrant Shares ("Transfer Agent
Office") for another warrant or other warrants of like tenor and representing in
the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock.

         SECTION 2.   EXERCISE

         (a) Right to Exercise. At any time after the Commencement Date and on
or before the Expiration Date, the Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof,
may exercise this Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by
delivering this Warrant to the Company during normal business hours on any
Business Day at the Company's Principal Office or a Transfer Agent Office,
together with the Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
and made a part hereof (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly executed, and payment of
the Exercise Price per share for each share purchased, as specified in the
Notice of Exercise. The aggregate Exercise Price (the "Aggregate Exercise
Price") to be paid for the shares to be purchased (the "Exercise Amount") shall
equal the product of (i) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (ii) the Exercise
Price. If the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then this Warrant may be
exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

         (b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price shall be made to the Company in cash or other immediately
available funds or as provided in Section 2(c), or a combination thereof. In the
case of payment of all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to
Section 2(c), the direction by the Holder to make a "Cashless Exercise" shall
serve as accompanying payment for that portion of the Exercise Price.

         (c) Cashless Exercise. In the event that a Registration Default (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has occurred prior to exercise of
any portion of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to pay all or a
portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price by making a "Cashless Exercise," in
which case the portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price to be so paid shall be
paid by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to the Notice of Exercise by an amount equal to (i) the Aggregate
Exercise Price to be so paid divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value Per Share.

         (d) Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Company of
this Warrant at its Principal Office or a Transfer Agent Office in proper form
for exercise, and accompanied by the Notice of Exercise and payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the
holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may
not then be actually delivered. Within three Business Days after such surrender
of this Warrant, delivery of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate
Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered
to, or upon the written order of, the Holder (and in such name or names as the
Holder may designate) a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Amount,
subject to any reduction as provided in Section 2(c) for a Cashless Exercise.

         (e) Fractional Shares. The Company may, but shall not be required to,
deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. If
any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon an exercise of
this Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of
Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Holder in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the Fair Market Value Per Share determined as of the Business Day
immediately preceding the date of exercise of this Warrant.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         (f) Partial Exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the
unexercised portion thereof which has not expired.

         SECTION 3.   PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company shall pay all stamp taxes
attributable to the initial issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant or issuable pursuant to Section 6 hereof, excluding
any tax or taxes which may be payable because of the transfer involved in the
issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares or other securities in a
name other than that of the Holder in respect of which such shares or securities
are issued.

         SECTION 4.   REPLACEMENT WARRANT. In case this Warrant is mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of
and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of
like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft
or destruction of such Warrant and upon receipt of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company provided that if the Holder is a financial
institution or other institutional or fund investor its own agreement shall be
satisfactory).

         SECTION 5.   COVENANTS

         (a) Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions. In the event of any
reasonable determination by the Holder that, by reason of any existing or future
federal or state law, statute, rule, regulation, guideline, order, court or
administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful)
(collectively, a "Regulatory Requirement"), the Holder is effectively restricted
or prohibited from holding this Warrant or the Warrant Shares (including any
shares of capital stock or other securities distributable to the Holder in any
merger, reorganization, readjustment or other reclassification), or otherwise
realizing upon or receiving the benefits intended under this Warrant, the
Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have its
shareholders take such action as the Holder and the Company shall jointly agree
in good faith to be reasonably necessary to permit the Holder to comply with
such Regulatory Requirement. The reasonable costs of taking such action, whether
by the Company, the Holder or otherwise, shall be borne by the Company.

         (b) Validly Issued Shares. The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, assuming full
payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (including those issued pursuant to
Section 6 hereof) shall, upon delivery by the Company, be duly authorized and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all stamp taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof and otherwise free of
all other security interests, encumbrances and claims of any nature whatsoever
(other than security interests, encumbrances and claims to which the Holder is
subject prior to the issuance of the Warrant and restrictions under applicable
federal and/or state securities laws).

         (c) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares, free
of preemptive rights, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
as shall be sufficient to enable the Company to issue Common Stock upon exercise
of the Warrant.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         (d) Affirmative Actions to Permit Exercise and Realization of Benefits.
If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of the
exercise of this Warrant, or any shares or other securities reserved or to be
reserved for the purpose of issuance pursuant to Section 6 hereof, require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (other than securities laws) before such shares or other securities
may be validly delivered upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company
covenants that it will, at its sole expense, secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be (including but not limited to approvals or
expirations of waiting periods required under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act).

         SECTION 6. ADJUSTMENTS TO AGGREGATE NUMBER. Under certain conditions,
the Aggregate Number is subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 6. No
adjustments shall be made under this Section 6 as a result of the issuance by
the Company of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

         (a) Adjustments. The Aggregate Number, after taking into consideration
any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6, shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be
the Aggregate Number hereunder.

                  (i) Stock Dividends, Stock Subdivisions and Stock
Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

                           (A) issue to the holders of its Common Stock a
                  dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of
                  Common Stock (a "Stock Dividend"),

                           (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
                  into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including
                  without limitation by means of a stock split (a "Stock
                  Subdivision"), or

                           (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
                  into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a "Stock
                  Combination"),

then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1)
proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision
and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination. In the
event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no
consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in
an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise
of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

                  (ii) Other Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution
(collectively, a "Distribution") of:

                           (A) cash,

                           (B) any evidences of its indebtedness (other than
                  Convertible Securities), any shares of its capital stock
                  (other than additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible
                  Securities) or any other securities or property of any nature
                  whatsoever (other than cash) or

                           (C) any options, warrants or other rights to
                  subscribe for or purchase any of the following: any evidences
                  of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any
                  shares of its capital stock (other than additional shares of
                  Common Stock or Convertible Securities) or any other
                  securities or property of any nature whatsoever,

                                       4
<PAGE>

then the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company to
receive upon the exercise of this Warrant at any time on or after the taking of
such record in accordance with the terms hereof, the number of Warrant Shares to
be received upon exercise of this Warrant determined as stated herein and, in
addition and without further payment, the cash, evidences of indebtedness,
stock, securities, other property, options, warrants and/or other rights (or any
portion thereof) to which the Holder would have been entitled by way of such
Distribution and subsequent dividends and distributions through the date of
exercise as if such Holder (x) had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to
such Distribution and (y) had retained the Distribution in respect of the Common
Stock and all subsequent dividends and distributions of any nature whatsoever in
respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends and distributions and
originating directly or indirectly from such Common Stock.

         A reclassification of the Common Stock into shares of Common Stock and
shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a Distribution by the Company
to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock
and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or
smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification,
such event shall be deemed a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination, as the case
may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section
6(a)(i) hereof.

                  (iii) Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time or from time to
time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided in this Section
6(a)(iii)) issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the Trigger Price Per Share, then, effective
on the date specified below, the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted by
multiplying (A) the Aggregate Number immediately prior thereto by (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of
Common Stock, (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of options, warrants, rights or Convertible Securities
(whether or not then exercisable), and (z) the number of such additional shares
of Common Stock so issued and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (p)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, (q) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants,
rights or convertible securities (whether or not then exercisable), and (r) the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total
number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the
Trigger Price Per Share. The date as of which the Trigger Price Per Share shall
be computed shall be the earlier of the date on which the Company shall enter
into a firm contract or commitment for the issuance of such additional shares of
Common Stock or the date of actual issuance of such additional shares of Common
Stock.

                  (iv) Convertible Securities. If at any time or from time to
time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner
(whether directly, by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and in which the shareholders of the Company immediately
prior to the merger continue to own more than 50% of the Outstanding Common
Stock immediately after the merger and for a period of 180 days thereafter, or
otherwise) issue or sell Convertible Securities (or any warrants, options or
other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities or Common Stock, whether or
not the rights to subscribe, exchange or convert thereunder are immediately
exercisable, and the consideration per share for the additional shares of Common
Stock which may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such
Convertible Securities shall be less than the Trigger Price Per Share, then the
Aggregate Number shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(a)(iii) hereof on
the basis that (A) the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock
necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities or pursuant to all such warrants, options or other rights shall be
deemed to have been issued as of the date of the determination of the Trigger
Price Per Share as herein provided and (B) the aggregate consideration for such
maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the

                                       5
<PAGE>

minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of
such additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Convertible
Securities (or any warrants or options or other rights to subscribe for
Convertible Securities or Common Stock). For purposes of this Section 6(a)(iv),
the effective date of such adjustment and the date as of which the Trigger Price
Per Share shall be computed shall be the earliest of (1) the date on which the
Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them to receive any such Convertible Securities (or any warrants or
options or other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities), (2) the date
on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract or commitment for the
issuance of such Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or other
rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities), and (3) the date of actual
issuance of such Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or other
rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities).

                  (v) Subsequent Adjustments. If at any time after an adjustment
of the Aggregate Number has been made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) hereof on the
basis of the issuance of Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or
other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities), warrants, options or
other rights or the issuance of Convertible Securities, or after any new
adjustments of the Aggregate Number shall have been made pursuant to this
Section 6(a)(v),

                           (A) such warrants, options or rights or the right of
         conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities shall expire, and
         all or any portion of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of
         conversion or exchange in respect of all or any portion of such
         Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been
         exercised prior to such expiration, and/or

                           (B) in the case of adjustments made pursuant to
         Section 6(a)(iv), the consideration per share for which shares of
         Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants, options or rights
         per the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be irrevocably
         increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an
         automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of
         a specified date or the happening of a specified event,

such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the additional
shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the
computation made in connection with such adjustment shall no longer be deemed to
have been issued by virtue of such computation. Simultaneously therewith, a
recomputation shall be made of the effect of such warrants, options or rights or
Convertible Securities on the determination of the Aggregate Number, which shall
be made on the basis of:

                           (1) treating the number of additional shares of
                  Common Stock, if any, actually issued pursuant to the previous
                  exercise of such warrants, options or rights or such right of
                  conversion or exchange as having been issued on the date or
                  dates of such exercise and, in the case of a recomputation of
                  a calculation originally made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv),
                  for the consideration actually received and receivable
                  therefor, and

                           (2) in the case of a recomputation of a calculation
                  originally made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv), treating any
                  such warrants, options or rights or any such Convertible
                  Securities which then remain outstanding as having been
                  granted or issued immediately after the time of such
                  irrevocable increase of the consideration per share for which
                  shares of Common Stock are issuable under such warrants,
                  options or rights or Convertible Securities;

         and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of
         this Section 6(a)(v) on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the
         Aggregate Number shall be made, such new adjustment shall supersede the
         previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

                                       6
<PAGE>

                  (vi) Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be
applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate Number provided above
in this Section 6(a):

                           (A) The sale or other disposition of any issued
         shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
         Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed an issuance thereof
         for the purposes of this Section 6(a).

                           (B) To the extent that any additional shares of
         Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or
         other rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of
         Common Stock or any Convertible Securities (1) are issued solely for
         cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor
         shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash received by the Company
         therefor, (2) are offered by the Company for subscription, the
         consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the
         subscription price or (3) are sold to underwriters or dealers for
         public offering, the net consideration (after giving effect to
         underwriting discounts) received by the Company shall be deemed to be
         the consideration received by the Company therefor, in any such case
         excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or
         accrued dividends. To the extent that such issuance shall be for a
         consideration other than cash, or partially for cash and partially for
         other consideration, then, except as otherwise expressly provided
         herein, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair
         market value of such consideration plus, if applicable, the amount of
         such cash) at the time of such issuance, determined in the manner set
         forth in Section 6(d)(ii). In case any additional shares of Common
         Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other
         rights to subscribe for or purchase such additional shares of Common
         Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any
         merger in which the Company is the survivor and issues any securities,
         the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair
         market value of such additional shares of Common Stock, Convertible
         Securities, warrants, options or other rights, as the case may be,
         determined in the manner set forth in Section 6(d)(ii).

                           The consideration for any shares of Common Stock
         issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be
         equal to (x) the consideration received by the Company for issuing any
         warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such
         Convertible Securities, plus (y) the consideration paid or payable to
         the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such
         Convertible Securities, plus (z) the consideration, if any, payable to
         the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange of
         such Convertible Securities.

                           In case of the issuance at any time of any additional
         shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or
         satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common
         Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such additional
         shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal
         to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

                           (C) The adjustments required by the preceding
         paragraphs of this Section 6(a) shall be made whenever and as often as
         any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no
         adjustment of the Aggregate Number that would otherwise be required
         shall be made (except in the case of a Stock Subdivision or Stock
         Combination, as provided for in Section 6(a)(i) hereof) unless and
         until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not
         previously made adds or subtracts at least one one-hundredth of one
         share to or from the Aggregate Number immediately prior to the making
         of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
         such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and
         made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments
         required by this Section 6(a) and not previously made, would result in
         a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified
         event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the
         date of its occurrence.

                           (D) In computing adjustments under this Section 6(a),
         fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the
         nearest one-thousandth of a share.

                           (E) If the Company shall take a record of the holders
         of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
         dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall,
         thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally
         abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
         subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment shall be required
         by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment
         previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

                           (F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
         Section 6(a) or any other provision of this Warrant, at all times
         adjustments shall be made to the Aggregate Number such that the Holder
         will not be diluted in any manner (economically or otherwise) due to
         the adoption, creation, existence or amendment of any option plans,
         equity-based bonus plans, stock plans, stock appreciation rights plan
         or similar contractual obligations by or of the Company or any of the
         Company's Subsidiaries (or issuance and/or exercise of any securities
         thereunder) whether or not such securities are issued at or below Fair
         Market Value Per Share.

                           (G) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted
         pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by
         multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
         a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant
         Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior
         to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of
         Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter. Any adjusted
         Exercise Price shall be the "Exercise Price" for purposes hereof,
         subject to subsequent adjustment.

         (b) Changes in Common Stock. In case at any time the Company shall
initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, liquidation,
recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock) in connection with
which the previous Outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged
for different securities of the Company or capital stock or other securities of
another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property
(including cash) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction
being herein called a "Transaction"), then as a condition of the consummation of
the Transaction, to provide that lawful, enforceable and adequate provision
shall be made so that the Holder shall be entitled to (i) a new warrant in form
and substance similar to, and in exchange for, this Warrant to purchase all or a
portion of such securities or other property; provided that, if the Company is
unable to secure such new warrant, then the Holder will exercise this Warrant in
connection with the consummation of the Transaction for, in lieu of the Warrant
Shares issuable upon such exercise, the securities or other property (including
cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the
Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto
(subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6). The
Company will not effect any Transaction unless prior to consummation thereof
each corporation or other entity (other than the Company) which may be required
to deliver any new warrant, securities or other property as provided herein
assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, the obligation to deliver
to such Holder such new warrant, securities or other property as in accordance
with the foregoing provisions such Holder may be entitled to receive and such
corporation or entity shall have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of
counsel for such corporation or entity, satisfactory to the Holder, which
opinion shall state that all of the terms of the new warrant or this Warrant
shall be enforceable against the Company and such corporation or entity in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other matters
as the Holder may reasonably request. The foregoing provisions of this Section
6(b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

         (c) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall take any action of the type contemplated in
Section 6(a) or (b) hereof but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then, unless in the
opinion of the Company's board of directors such action will not have a material
adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder (taking into consideration, if
necessary, any prior actions which the Board of Directors deemed not to
materially adversely affect the rights of the Holder), the Aggregate Number
shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of
the Company may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

         (d)      Notices

                  (i) Notice of Proposed Actions. In case the Company shall
propose (A) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of
its Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Common
Stock, (B) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for
or to purchase any Convertible Securities, rights to acquire Convertible
Securities or capital stock or additional shares of Common Stock or shares of
stock of any class or any other securities, warrants, rights or options, (C) to
effect any reclassification of its Common Stock, (D) to effect any
recapitalization, stock subdivision, stock combination or other capital
reorganization, (E) to effect any consolidation or merger, share exchange, or
sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property,
assets or business, (F) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company or (G) to effect any other action which would require an adjustment
under this Section 6, then in each such case the Company shall give to the
Holder written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the proposed
date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend,
distribution or rights, or the proposed date on which such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer,
disposition, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other transaction is to
take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock,
if any such date is to be fixed, or the proposed date on which the transfer of
Common Stock is to occur, and shall also set forth such facts with respect
thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action
on the Common Stock and on the Aggregate Number after giving effect to any
adjustment which will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall
be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (A) or (B) above at
least 30 days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common
Stock for purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at
least 30 days prior to the earlier of the date of the taking of such proposed
action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock.

                  (ii) Adjustment Notice. Whenever the Aggregate Number is to be
adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the
Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the event
requiring the adjustment) prepare and deliver to the Holder a certificate signed
by the chief financial officer of the Company, setting forth, in reasonable
detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such
adjustment is to be calculated. The certificate shall set forth, if applicable,
a description of the basis on which the board of directors in good faith
determined, as applicable, the Fair Market Value Per Share, the fair market
value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities,
warrants, other subscription or purchase rights, or other property or the

                                       9
<PAGE>

equitable nature of any adjustment under Section 6(b) or (c) hereof, the new
Aggregate Number and, if applicable, any new securities or property to which the
Holder is entitled. Any other determination of fair market value shall first be
determined in good faith by the board of directors and be based upon an arm's
length sale of such indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities, warrants,
other subscription or purchase rights or other property, such sale being between
a willing buyer and a willing seller. In the case of any such determination of
fair market value, the Holder may object to the determination in such
certificate by giving written notice within 10 Business Days of the receipt of
such certificate and, if the Holder and the Company cannot agree to the fair
market value within 10 Business Days of the date of the Holder's objection, the
fair market value shall be determined by a disinterested appraiser (which may be
national or regional investment bank or a national accounting firm) mutually
selected by the Holder and the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be
paid 50% by the Company and 50% by the Holder unless such determination results
in a fair market value more than 110% of the fair market value determined by the
Company in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Company or
results in a fair market value less than 90% of the fair market value determined
by the Company in which case such fees and expenses shall be paid by the Holder.

         SECTION 7.   NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange,
dissolution or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, including without limitation
the adjustments required under Section 6 hereof, and will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder
against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the
contrary (including by way of implication), the Company (a) will not increase
the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this
Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant.

         SECTION 8.   TRANSFERS OF THE WARRANT

         (a) Generally. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8,

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

             after the Closing, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after
             the Closing, a registration statement under the Securities Act to
             register all of the Registrable Securities (the "Mandatory
             Registration Statement") on (A) Form S-1 or any other successor or
             similar long-form registration or (B) Form S-2 or Form S-3 or any
             other successor or similar short-form registration if the Company
             is eligible to use any such short form;

                  (ii) cause the Mandatory Registration Statement to become
             effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than
             180 days after the Closing.

                                       2
<PAGE>

             (b)  In connection the performance of its obligation pursuant
         to Section 2(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall:

                           (i) file all pre-effective amendments to the
         Mandatory Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause
         the Mandatory Registration Statement to become effective; and

                           (ii) if applicable, file a post-effective amendment
         to the Mandatory Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the
         Securities Act.

             (c)  The Company shall cause the Mandatory Registration Statement
         to be effective continuously, supplemented and amended as required by
         the Securities Act and regulations promulgated by the SEC and
         applicable Blue Sky Laws to the extent necessary to ensure that it
         is available for sales of Registrable Securities by the Holders until
         the earlier of (i) the expiration of the period referred to in Rule
         144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) with respect to
         the Registrable Securities, (ii) such shorter period that will
         terminate when all the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant
         to the Mandatory Registration Statement or (iii) the date when all
         Registrable Securities have been sold to pursuant to Rule 144 under the
         Securities Act (or any successor rule).

             (d)  Priority. The Company shall not include in the Mandatory
         Registration Statement any securities or offer of securities which are
         not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the
         Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities included in the
         Mandatory Registration Statement, except for the securities set forth
         on Schedule 1 hereto. If the offering to be made under the Mandatory
         Registration Statement is an underwritten offering and the managing
         underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the
         number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other
         securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the
         number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which
         can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range
         acceptable to the Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities
         included in the Mandatory Registration Statement, the Company shall so
         advise the Holders and include in such registration (i) first, the
         Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
         pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis
         of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder at
         the time of filing of the Mandatory Registration Statement and (ii)
         second, any other securities to be sold by the Company or requested to
         be included in such registration.

             (e)  Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses.

             (f)  Selection of Underwriters. The Holders who desire to do so
         may sell their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering. In
         any such underwritten offering, the investment banking firm or firms to
         serve as the underwriters shall be selected by the Holders of at least
         51% of the Registrable Securities included in the Mandatory
         Registration Statement.

         3.  PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

             (a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes or
         determines to register any of its securities under the Securities Act
         for its own account or the account of any holder of the Company's
         securities (other than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any
         successor or similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be
         used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback
         Registration"), the Company (i) shall give prompt written notice to all
         Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a
         registration at least 20 days before filing the Piggyback Registration

                                       3
<PAGE>

         and (ii) subject to Sections 3(c) and 3(d) below, shall include in such
         registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the
         Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10
         days after the receipt of the Company's notice. The notice referred to
         in this Section 3(a) shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which
         the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the
         applicable Blue Sky Laws. The decision of one or more Holders of
         Registrable Securities to participate in a Piggyback Registration shall
         not relieve the Company of its obligations to register the Registrable
         Securities held by the participating Holder or any other Holder
         pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement.

             (b)  Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the
         Holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all
         Piggyback Registrations whether or not such registration is
         consummated.

             (c)  Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback
         Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the
         Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
         that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included
         in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such
         offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering,
         the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the
         securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable
         Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
         among the Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the
         number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder and (iii)
         third, any other securities requested to be included in such
         registration.

             (d)  Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback
         Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of
         holders of the Company's securities (other than the Holders of
         Registrable Securities), and the managing underwriters advise the
         Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities
         requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which
         can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the
         marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such
         registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein
         by the holders requesting such registration and the Registrable
         Securities requested to be included in such registration pro rata among
         the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of securities
         owned by each such Holder and (ii) second, any other securities
         requested to be included in such registration.

             (e)  Withdrawal by the Company. If, at any time after giving
         written notice of its intention to register any of its securities as
         set forth in Section 3(a) and prior to the effective date of the
         registration statement filed in connection therewith, the Company's
         board of directors shall determine in its good faith judgment for any
         reason not to register such securities, the Company may, at its
         election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of
         Registrable Securities and thereupon shall be relieved of its
         obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with
         such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration
         Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein).

         4.  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. The Company shall effect the registration
and sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall:

             (a)  before filing a Mandatory Registration Statement or a
         registration statement for Piggyback Registration in which Holders of
         Registrable Securities are participating (in either case, a
         "Registration Statement"), amendments thereto, or a related prospectus
         or prospectus supplement, furnish to the counsel selected by the
         Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities covered by such
         Registration Statement copies of all such documents proposed to be
         filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of
         such counsel;

             (b)  notify each Holder of Registrable Securities of the
         effectiveness of each Registration Statement filed hereunder and comply
         with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
         disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement
         until such time as all such securities have been disposed of in
         accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
         sellers thereof set forth in the Registration Statement and the
         prospectus used in connection therewith;

             (c)  furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such
         number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and
         supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such Registration
         Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other
         documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate
         the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

             (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
         Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
         jurisdictions as any seller (including any underwriter) state requests
         and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably
         necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the
         disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned
         by such seller; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i)
         qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
         otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section, (ii) subject
         itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general
         service of process in any such jurisdiction;

             (e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time
         when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
         the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which
         the prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains an
         untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make
         the statements therein not misleading, and, as expeditiously as
         possible, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such
         prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to a Subscriber of such
         Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading;

             (f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on a
         securities exchange or included in an inter-dealer quotation system on
         which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or
         included and shall take any other action necessary or advisable to
         facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities;

             (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable
         Securities not later than the effective date of such Registration
         Statement;

         agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the
         Holders of at least 51% of the Registrable Securities being sold or the
         underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or
         facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including
         effecting a stock split or a combination of shares);

             (i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
         Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
         to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other
         agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all necessary
         financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
         properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors,
         employees and independent accountants to supply all information
         reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
         accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement;

                                       5
<PAGE>

             (j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
         rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable Blue Sky Laws;

             (k) permit any Holder of Registrable Securities which the Holder,
         in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an
         underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in
         the preparation of the Registration Statement and to require the
         insertion therein of material, requested of the Company in writing,
         which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should
         be included;

             (l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the
         effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any order suspending
         or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the
         qualification of any Common Stock included in the Registration
         Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its best
         efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and

             (m) in the event of an underwritten public 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 cold comfort letters as the Holders of at least 51% of the
         Registrable Securities reasonably request.

         5.  EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All expenses (collectively, the
"Registration Expenses") incident to or incurred in connection with any
performance of, compliance with, registration or qualification pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, compliance,
Blue Sky Laws, listing, and qualification fees and expenses, printing expenses,
messenger, courier and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the underwriters, fees and
expenses of one counsel chosen by the Holders of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement, fees and expenses of underwriter
(excluding discounts and commissions) and expenses and fees of accountants and
audits incidental to or required by such registration, shall be borne by the
Company.

         6.  REGISTRATION DEFAULT. If a Registration Statement covering all of
the Registrable Securities (i) has not been declared effective by the SEC on or
prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date (the "Effective Deadline") or
(ii) has been declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or
fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately
by a post-effective amendment that cures such failure and that is declared
effective within thirty (30) days (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
and (ii), a "Registration Default"), the Company hereby agrees to pay to the
Subscriber a fee Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per month, pro rated for any
portion thereof, during each month or portion thereof that the Registration
Default continues without cure. If there occurs a Registration Default and the
Company (A) fails to file, on a timely basis, any periodic or current report
required by the Exchange Act or regulations promulgated thereunder, (B) allows
any class of its securities of which the Registrable Securities are a part to
become de-listed on a national securities exchange or excluded from or
disqualified from trading through an inter-dealer quotation system or (C)
otherwise fails to comply with any applicable federal securities laws and
regulations, Blue Sky Laws or listing or inclusion requirements of a national
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system (each such event referred
to in clauses (A), (B), and (C), a "Non-Compliance Condition"), the Company
hereby agrees to pay to the Subscriber an additional fee of Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) per month (the "Non-Compliance Fee") pro rated for any portion
thereof, during each month or portion thereof that the Registration Default and
Non-Compliance Condition continue without cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Non-Compliance Fee shall not be payable in respect of any particular

                                       6
<PAGE>

Non-Compliance Condition if the Company provides written notice to the
Subscriber of the occurrence of the particular Non-Compliance Condition within
thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of the particular Non-Compliance
Condition. The fees provided in this Section 6 shall be payable on the last
business day of each month to Subscriber at the office designated for the
Subscriber to receive notices pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement. Any
unpaid balance of such fees shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 15%,
shall be payable monthly on the last business day of each month and compounded
monthly. The Subscriber's rights to fees pursuant to this Section 6 represent a
lost opportunity cost and shall not be construed as liquidated damages and,
further, shall not serve to limit or replace any remedies at law or in equity
arising from any failure by the Company to perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

         7.  INDEMNIFICATION

             (a) The Company will indemnify each Holder of Registrable
         Securities, each of the Holder's officers, directors, partners and
         employees, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to
         such registration or qualification effected pursuant to this Agreement
         and in which Registrable Securities of the Holders are included,
         against all claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereto) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
         alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any
         prospectus, Registration Statement or other document incident to any
         such registration or qualification, or based on any omission (or
         alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation
         promulgated pursuant to any Federal, state or common law rule or
         regulation including, without limitation, the Securities Act,
         applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required
         of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification
         or compliance and will reimburse each such Holder, each of the Holder's
         officers, directors, partners and employees, and each person
         controlling such Holder, for any legal and any other reasonable
         expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
         such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, including reasonable
         attorneys' fees and expenses; provided, however, that the Company will
         not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss,
         damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement
         or omission based upon and in conformity with written information
         furnished to the Company by such Holder in a signed document. Such
         indemnity shall be effective notwithstanding any investigation made by
         or on behalf of any Holder or any such officer, director, partner,
         employee, or controlling person and shall survive any transfer by the
         same of the Registrable Securities.

             (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by or issuable
         to such Holder are included in the securities as to which such
         registration or qualification is being effected, indemnify the Company,
         each of its directors, officers and employees, each person who controls
         the Company, and each other such Holder, each of such other Holder's
         officers, directors, partners and employees, and each person
         controlling such other Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and
         liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arising out of or based on
         any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
         contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus or other
         document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such
         Holders, such directors, officers, partners, employees or persons for
         any legal or any other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
         investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
         action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in each case
         to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
         alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in
         such Registration Statement, prospectus or other document in reliance
         upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
         Company by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of
         any such Holder shall not exceed an amount equal to the proceeds
         realized by each such Holder of Registrable Securities sold as
         contemplated herein. Such indemnity shall be effective notwithstanding
         any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any such
         director, officer, partner, employee, or controlling person and shall
         survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

                                       7
<PAGE>

             (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7
         (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
         provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
         Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which
         indemnity may be sought. Unless in the reasonable judgment of the
         Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between the
         Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
         shall be permitted to assume the defense of any such claim or any
         litigation resulting therefrom; provided, however, that in any event
         counsel for the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party who shall
         conduct the defense of such claim or litigation as provided above shall
         be approved by the other Party (which approval shall not be
         unreasonably withheld), and such other Party may participate in such
         defense at such Party's expense; provided, further, that the failure of
         any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
         relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 8
         unless such failure shall have had a material adverse effect on the
         Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim.

             (d) The Indemnified Party shall make no settlement of any claim or
         litigation which would give rise to liability on the part of the
         Indemnifying Party under any indemnity contained in this Section 8
         without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and no Indemnifying
         Party shall make any settlement of any such claim or litigation without
         the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a firm offer is made to settle a
         claim or litigation defended by the Indemnified Party and the
         Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that the
         Indemnified Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, but the
         Indemnifying Party elects not to accept or agree to such offer within
         ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified
         Party of the terms of such offer, then, in such event, the Indemnified
         Party shall continue to contest or defend such claim or litigation and,
         if such claim or litigation is within the scope of the Indemnifying
         Party's indemnity contained in this Section 7, the Indemnified Party
         shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof. If a firm offer is
         made to settle a claim or litigation defended by the Indemnifying Party
         and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
         that the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer,
         but the Indemnified Party elects not to accept or agree to such offer
         within ten days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnifying
         Party of the terms of such offer, then, in such event, the Indemnified
         Party may continue to contest or defend such claim or litigation and,
         in such event, the total maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party to
         indemnify or otherwise reimburse the Indemnified Party in accordance
         with this Agreement with respect to such claim or litigation shall be
         limited to and shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer,
         plus reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable
         fees and disbursements of counsel) to the date of notice that the
         Indemnifying Party desired to accept such settlement offer.

             (e) The indemnification payments required pursuant to this Section
         7 for expenses of the investigation or defense of a claim or lawsuit
         shall be made from time to time during the course of the investigation
         or defense, as the case may be, upon submission of reasonably
         sufficient documentation that any such expenses have been incurred.

         8.  INFORMATION BY HOLDER. The Holders of Registrable Securities
included in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement shall
furnish to the Company such written information regarding such Holders and the
plan of distribution proposed by such Holders as the Company may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration
or qualification referred to in this Agreement. The Company agrees to include in
any such Registration Statement all information concerning the Holders and their
distribution which the Holders shall reasonably request.

                                       8
<PAGE>

         9.  RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to the Holders
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale
of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company
agrees to:

             (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
         understood and defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
         Act, or any successor provision thereto, at all times;

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

             (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish
         to such Holder forthwith upon its request a written statement by the
         Company as to the Company's compliance with the reporting requirements
         of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and such
         other reports and documents filed by the Company as such Holder may
         reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the
         SEC allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without
         registration; and

             (d) take any further action reasonably requested by a Holder to
         enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without
         registration under Rule 144, under any successor provision, or any
         similar rule or regulation promulgated by the SEC from time to time.

         10. TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Subscriber (or any subsequent
Holder of Registrable Securities) may assign this Agreement to a transferee of
any of its Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company is given
written notice by the transferring Holder at the time of or within a reasonable
time after the transfer, stating the name and address of the transferee and
identifying the securities with respect to which such transfer is made. Subject
to the foregoing provision, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to
the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, further, that the registration rights granted in this Agreement shall
not be transferred to purchasers who received Registrable Securities in a sale
made pursuant to a Registration Statement or pursuant to a sale under Rule 144
or any successor provision thereto.

         11. CHANGES. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may not be
modified or amended, except that they may be modified or amended with the
written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the Subscriber. None of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement may be waived except in writing by the person so
waiving.

         12. GRANTING OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Subscriber, grant any rights to any persons to
register any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company if such
rights could reasonably be expected to conflict with, or be on parity with, the
rights of the Holders of the Shares.

         13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York with regard to conflicts of
laws provisions.

         14. NOTICE. All notices and other communications required or permitted
