          2.1     Right to Piggyback.  If the Company proposes to undertake an
offering of shares of Common Stock for its account or for the account of other
stockholders and the registration form to be used for such offering may be
used for the registration of Registerable Securities (a "Piggyback
Registration"), each such time the Company will give prompt written notice to
all Holders of Registerable Securities of its intention to effect such a
registration (each, a "Piggyback Notice") and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4
hereof, the Company will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such
registration all Registerable Securities with respect to which the Company has
received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the date
of sending the Piggyback Notice.

          2.2     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 that can be sold in an orderly manner within a price range
acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration (a)
first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and (b) second, the
Registerable Securities requested to be included in such registration and any
other securities requested to be included in such registration that are held
by Persons other than the Holders of Registerable Securities pursuant to
registration rights, pro rata among the holders of Registerable Securities and
the holders of such other securities requesting such registration on the basis
of the number of shares of such securities owned by each such holder.

          2.3     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 Registerable Securities
(the "Other Holders"), 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 that can be sold in a orderly
manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Other Holders
requesting such registration, the Company will include in such registration
(a) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the Other
Holders requesting such registration and (b) second, the Registerable
Securities requested be include in such resignation hereunder, pro rata amount
the Holders of Registerable Securities requesting such registration on the
basis of the number of shares of such securities owned by each such Holder.

          2.4     Selection of Underwriters.  In the case of an underwritten
Piggyback Registration, the Company will have the right to select the
investment banker(s) and managers(s) to administer the offering.

the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement during such period in

seller of Registerable Securities the number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in

other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such seller.

               3.1.4     Blue Sky Laws.  Use its reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify such Registerable Securities under the securities or blue
sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any
and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable

will not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3.1.4; (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; or (c)

such Registerable Securities when a prospectus relating thereto is required to
be delivered under Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and in such event, at the request
of any such seller, the Company will promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registerable Securities, such prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided, that the
Company will not take any action which causes the prospectus included in such
registration statement to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except as permitted by Section 3.5.

               3.1.6     Due Diligence.  Make available for inspection by any

employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection
with such registration statement.

               3.1.7     Deemed Underwriters or Controlling Persons.  Permit
any Holder of Registerable Securities which Holder, in such Holder's
reasonable judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling
person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration
or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material in
form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and to the Company and
furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such
Holder and its counsel should be included.

               3.1.8     Management Availability.  In connection with
underwritten offerings, make available appropriate management personnel for
participation in the preparation and drafting of such registration comparable
statement, for due diligence meetings and for "road show" meetings.

               3.1.9     Stop Orders.  Promptly notify Holders of the
Registerable Securities of the threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation
of any proceeding for that purpose, and make every reasonable effort to
prevent the entry of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement. In the event of the issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order
suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the
qualification of any Registerable Securities included in such registration
statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable
best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

          3.2     Further Information.  The Company may require each Holder of
Registerable Securities to furnish to the Company in writing such information
regarding the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registerable
Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.

agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Sections 3.1.5 or 3.1.9 hereof, such
Investor will forthwith discontinue disposition of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a registration hereunder until receipt of the copies of an
appropriate supplement or amendment to the prospectus under Section 3.1.5 or
until the withdrawal of such order under Section 3.1.9.

          3.4     Reference to Holders.  If any such registration or
comparable statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder
of any securities of the Company and if, in the Holder's reasonable judgement,
such Holder is or might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company,
such Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of
language in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company and
presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such
Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such
Holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby
and that such holdings does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting
any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) in the event that
such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the
Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force, the deletion of
the reference to such Holder, provided that with respect to this clause (b)

selling security holders divided among such security holders (including the
Company and holders of the Company's securities other than Registerable
Securities, to the extent that securities are being registered on behalf of
such Persons) pro rata on the basis of the number of shares being registered
on behalf of each such security holder, or as such security holders may
otherwise agree.

     5.     Indemnification Section.

          5.1     Indemnification by Company.  The Company agrees to
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registerable
Securities and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities
Act) such Holder against all loses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
in connection with defending against any such losses, claims, damages and
liabilities or in connection with any investigation or inquiry, in each case
caused by or based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading or arise out of any violation by the
Company of any rules or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with such registration, except insofar as the same are
(i) contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein; (ii) caused by such Holder's failure to
deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto; or (iii) caused by such Holder's failure to
discontinue disposition of shares after receiving notice from the Company
pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof.  In connection with an underwritten offering,
the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and
each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such
underwriters at least to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders of Registerable Securities.

          5.2     Indemnification by Holder.  In connection with any
registration statement in which a Holder of Registerable Securities is
participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such
information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any
such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law,
will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; provided that the obligation to
indemnify will be individual to each Holder and will be limited to the net
amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registerable
Securities pursuant to such registration statement. In connection with an
underwritten offering, each such Holder will indemnify such underwriters,
their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) such underwriters at least to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Company.

          5.3     Assumption of Defense by Indemnifying Party.  Any Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to
the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification and (b) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment
a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may
exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the
defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject
to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim
will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel
for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such
claim. unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

          5.4     Binding Effect.  The indemnification provided for under this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or
controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of
securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably
requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the
event the Company's indemnification is unavailable for any reason. Each Holder
or Registerable Securities also agrees to make such provisions, as are
reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party
in the event such Holder's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

     6.     Repurchase Obligation.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in
this Agreement to the contrary, if for any reason a registration statement
which includes the Registerable Securities is not declared effective on or
before January 31, 2002, persons holding a majority of the Registerable
Securities may, upon 30-days' prior written notice, require the Company to
withdraw the registration statement.  Following such withdrawal of the
registration statement, any Holder of Registerable Securities may require the
Company to repurchase such Registerable Securities.  The repurchase price per
share shall be equal to the average daily closing price of the Common Stock
from the date of this Agreement until January 31, 2002.
