     "Underwritten   Registration"  or  "Underwritten  Offering"  shall  mean  a
Registration  in which  securities of the Company are sold to an underwriter for

                                   ARTICLE II
                                  REGISTRATIONS

     2.01 Demand  Registration.  Subject to the restrictions set forth below, on
or before  February 20, 2004,  the Company shall file a  Registration  Statement
with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  for purposes of  registering  the
resale of the Registrable  Securities owned by the Holder (or its successors and
permitted assigns) and shall take such commercially  reasonable actions in order
to  effect  as  soon  thereafter  as  practicable  the  Registration  under  the
Securities Act of all such Registrable Securities.

     2.02  Piggyback  Registration.  Each  time the  Company  decides  to file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to its Common Stock
(other than on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor  form for the  registration  of
securities  issued or to be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition or
employee benefit plan),  including any Registration Statement filed on behalf of
stockholders  of the  Company  exercising  registration  rights  granted  by the
Company  with  respect to such shares,  the Company  shall give  written  notice
thereof to Holder, and the Company shall include in such Registration  Statement
such shares of Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests
to register such shares  within  thirty (30) days after such written  notice has
been given;  provided,  that the Company shall not be required to do so if there
is  an  effective   Registration  Statement  with  respect  to  the  Registrable
Securities  owned by Holder,  as  contemplated  in Section  2.01. If in the good
faith judgment of the managing  underwriter in any  Underwritten  Offering,  the
inclusion of all of the shares of  Registrable  Securities  and any other Common
Stock requested to be registered by third parties  holding similar  registration
rights would interfere with the successful marketing of a smaller number of such
shares,  then the number of shares of  Registrable  Securities  and other Common
Stock to be  included  in the  offering  (except  for shares to be issued by the
Company in an offering  initiated by the  Company)  shall be reduced as provided
herein.   The  Company  shall  advise  all  holders  of  securities   requesting
registration  of the  underwriters'  decision,  and  the  number  of  shares  of
securities  that are  entitled to be included in the  Underwritten  Registration
shall be allocated  first to the Company for  securities  being sold for its own
account and  thereafter


                                       3





as set forth in Section 2.03 below. If any person does not agree to the terms of
any such underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the
Company or the  underwriter.  Any  Registrable  Securities  or other  securities
excluded  or  withdrawn  from such  underwriting  shall be  withdrawn  from such
registration.  If shares are so withdrawn from the registration or if the number
of shares of  Registrable  Securities  to be included in such  registration  was
previously  reduced as a result of  marketing  factors,  the Company  shall then
offer to all persons who have  retained the right to include  securities  in the
registration the right to include  additional  securities in the registration in
an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares
to be allocated among the persons requesting  additional inclusion in accordance
with Section 2.03 below.

     2.03  Registration  Cutback.  In  any  circumstance  in  which  all  of the
Registrable  Securities  and  other  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  Company
(including  shares of Common Stock  issued or issuable  upon  conversion  of any
currently  unissued  securities  of the Company) with  registration  rights (the
"Other  Shares")  requested to be included in a registration on behalf of Holder
or other selling  stockholders  cannot be so included as a result of limitations
of the aggregate  number of shares of  Registrable  Securities  and Other Shares
that may be so  included,  the number of shares of  Registrable  Securities  and
Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated among each of the Holder
and other selling  stockholders  requesting  inclusion of shares pro rata on the
basis of the number of shares Registrable Securities and Other Shares that would
be  held  by  each  of the  Holder  and  other  selling  stockholders,  assuming
conversion.  If  Holder  or any  other  selling  stockholders  does not  request
inclusion of the maximum  number of shares of  Registrable  Securities and Other
Shares  allocated to him or it pursuant to the  above-described  procedure,  the
remaining  portion of such  stockholder's  allocation shall be reallocated among
those  other  selling  stockholders  whose  allocations  did not  satisfy  their
requests pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other
Shares  which  would  be held by the  Holder  and  other  selling  stockholders,
assuming  conversion,  and this  procedure  shall be  repeated  until all of the
shares of  Registrable  Securities and Other Shares which may be included in the
registration  on behalf of Holder and other  selling  stockholders  have been so
allocated.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               COMPANY PROCEDURES

     3.01  General  Procedures.  If and  whenever  the  Company is  required  to
register Registrable Securities, the Company will use its best efforts to effect
such  registration  to  permit  the  sale  of  such  Registrable  Securities  in
accordance with the intended plan of distribution  thereof, and pursuant thereto
the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

          (a)  prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC  as  soon  as   practicable  a
     Registration  Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use
     its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration  Statement to become
     effective and remain effective until the Registrable  Securities covered by
     such Registration Statement have been sold;

          (b) prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments and  post-effective
     amendments  to the  Registration  Statement,  and such  supplements  to the
     Prospectus, as may be requested by Holder or any underwriter of Registrable
     Securities or as may be


                                       4





     required  by the  rules,  regulations  or  instructions  applicable  to the
     registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and
     regulations  thereunder to keep the Registration  Statement effective until
     all Registrable  Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold
     in  accordance  with the intended  plan of  distribution  set forth in such
     Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

          (c) deliver to Holder and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as
     many copies of each  Prospectus (and each  preliminary  prospectus) as such
     Persons may  reasonably  request and a  reasonable  number of copies of the
     then-effective  Registration  Statement and any  post-effective  amendments
     thereto  and  any  supplements  to  the  Prospectus,   including  financial
     statements and schedules,  all documents  incorporated therein by reference
     and all exhibits  (including those incorporated by reference).  The Company
     hereby  consents  to the  use  of  each  such  Prospectus  (or  preliminary
     prospectus) by the Holder and the underwriters,  if any, in connection with
     the  offering  and  sale  of the  Registrable  Securities  covered  by such
     Prospectus (or preliminary prospectus);

          (d) prior to any public offering of Registrable  Securities,  register
     or qualify or cooperate with Holder,  the  underwriters,  if any, and their
     respective  counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of
     such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue
     sky laws of such jurisdictions as Holder or such underwriters may designate
     in writing  and do  anything  else  necessary  or  advisable  to enable the
     disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable  Securities covered by
     the  Registration  Statement;  provided,  that  the  Company  shall  not be
     required to qualify  generally to do business in any jurisdiction  where it
     is not then so qualified  or to take any action  which would  subject it to
     general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
     subject;

          (e)  cause  all  such  Registrable  Securities  to be  listed  on each
     securities   exchange  or  automated  quotation  system  on  which  similar
     securities issued by the Company are then listed;

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

          (g) advise each seller of such Registrable Securities,  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 such
     purpose  and  promptly  use its  reasonable  best  efforts to  prevent  the
     issuance of any stop order or to obtain its  withdrawal  if such stop order
     should be issued;

          (h) at least  three  days  prior  to the  filing  of any  Registration
     Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
     Statement or  prospectus  or any  document  that is to be  incorporated  by
     reference  in such  Registration  Statement or  prospectus,  furnish a copy
     thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or their counsel;


                                       5





          (i)  notify  Holder at any time  when a  prospectus  relating  to such
     Registration  Statement  is required to be delivered  under the  Securities
     Act,  of the  happening  of any event as a result  of which the  prospectus
     included  in such  Registration  Statement,  as then in effect,  includes a
     Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section
     3.05; and

          (j) permit a representative of Holder,  the underwriters,  if any, and
     any  attorney  or  accountant   retained  by  Holder  or   underwriter   to
     participate,  at each such Person's own expense,  in the preparation of the
     Registration  Statement,  and cause the Company's  officers,  directors and
     employees  to  supply  all  information  reasonably  requested  by any such
     representative,  underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the
     Registration;  provided, however, that such representatives,  underwriters,
     attorneys or accountants  enter into a confidentiality  agreement,  in form
     and substance reasonably  satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release
     or disclosure of any such information.

     3.02 Registration  Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations
shall be borne by the  Company.  It is  acknowledged  by Holder that Holder will
bear all incremental  selling  expenses  relating to the sale of the Registrable
Securities,  such as  underwriters'  commissions and discounts,  brokerage fees,
underwriter  marketing  costs and all fees and  expenses  of any  legal  counsel
representing Holder.

     3.03  Requirements for Participation in Underwritten  Offerings.  No person
may  participate  in any  Underwritten  Offering  for equity  securities  of the
Company  pursuant to a Registration  initiated by the Company  hereunder  unless
such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in
any  underwriting  arrangements  approved by the Company and (b)  completes  and
executes  all   questionnaires,   powers  of  attorney,   indemnities,   lock-up
agreements, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.

     3.04  Suspension of Sales.  Upon receipt of written notice from the Company
that a  Registration  Statement or Prospectus  contains a  Misstatement,  Holder
shall forthwith discontinue  disposition of Registrable  Securities until it has
received  copies  of  a  supplemented  or  amended  Prospectus   correcting  the
Misstatement  (it being  understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare
and file such  supplement or amendment as soon as practicable  after the time of
such  notice),  or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of
the Prospectus may be resumed.

     3.05  Reporting  Obligations.  As  long as  Holder  shall  own  Registrable
Securities,  the  Company,  at all times while it shall be  reporting  under the
Exchange Act,  covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the  Company  after the date hereof  pursuant  to Section  13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and to promptly furnish Holder with true and complete copies of all
such  filings.  The Company  further  covenants  that it will take such  further
action as Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable  Holder to sell  shares of


                                       6





Common Stock held by Holder without registration under the Securities Act within
the  limitation of the  exemptions  provided by Rule 144  promulgated  under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144"),  including  providing any legal opinions.  Upon the
request of Holder,  the Company shall deliver to Holder a written  certification
of  a  duly  authorized  officer  as  to  whether  it  has  complied  with  such
requirements.

     3.06 Indemnification.

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify,  to the extent  permitted by law,
     the Holder of Registrable  Securities,  its officers and directors and each
     Person who  controls  Holder  (within  the meaning of the  Securities  Act)
     against all losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities and expenses (including
     attorneys'  fees)  caused by 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,  except
     insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished
     in writing to the Company by holder expressly for use therein or by holder'
     failure to deliver a copy of the  Registration  Statement or  prospectus or
     any  amendments  or  supplements  thereto  after the Company has  furnished
     holder with a  sufficient  number of copies of the same.  The Company  will
     indemnify the  underwriters,  their  officers and directors and each Person
     who controls such  underwriters  (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
     to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of
     the Holder.

          (b) In connection with any  Registration  Statement in which Holder is
     participating,   Holder  will  furnish  to  the  Company  in  writing  such
     information  and affidavits 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 agents and each Person who  controls  the Company  (within the
     meaning  of the  Securities  Act)  against  any  losses,  claims,  damages,
     liabilities  and  expenses   (including   without   limitation   reasonable
     attorneys'  fees)  resulting  from any untrue  statement  of material  fact
     contained  in  the  Registration   Statement,   prospectus  or  preliminary
     prospectus or any amendment  thereof or supplement  thereto or any 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  or  affidavit so
     furnished in writing by holder  expressly for use therein;  provided,  that
     the obligation to indemnify will be several,  not joint and several,  among
     such  holders of  Registrable  Securities,  and the  liability of each such
     holder of  Registrable  Securities  will be in proportion to and limited to
     the gross  amount  received  by such  holder  from the sale of  Registrable
     Securities  pursuant  to  such  Registration  Statement.  The  Holder  will
     indemnify the underwriters,  their officers,  directors and each Person who
     controls such  underwriters  (within the meaning of the Securities  Act) to
     the same extent as provided  above with respect to  indemnification  of the
     Company.


                                       7





          (c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein will (i) give prompt
     written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which
     it  seeks  indemnification  and (ii)  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.

          (d) 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 and Holder also agree to make such  provisions  as
     are reasonably  requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such
     party in the event the Company's or Holder's indemnification is unavailable
     for any reason.

          (e) Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  to the extent that the provisions
     on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
     entered into in connection  with an  Underwritten  Offering are in conflict
     with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement
     shall control.

     3.07  Restrictions  on Public Sales.  In  consideration  of the  agreements
contemplated  herein,  Holder and the  Company  further  agree to the  following
restrictions:

          (a) Holder, if the Company or the managing  underwriters so request in
     connection with any underwritten  registration of the Company'  securities,
     will  not,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of the  Company  or such
     underwriters,  effect any sale of the Registrable  Securities to the public
     pursuant to a public  offering or  otherwise or other  distribution  of any
     equity  securities of the Company,  including any sale pursuant to Rule 144
     (each of the  foregoing,  a "Prohibited  Sale"),  during the seven (7) days
     prior to, and during the one hundred eighty (180) day period commencing on,
     the effective date of such underwritten registration,  except in connection
     with such underwritten registration; provided, that the foregoing shall not
     apply to restrict the sale by any Stockholders who together with any of its
     Affiliates,  as such term is defined in the Securities Act, holds less than
     two percent (2%) of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis..

          (b) The  Company  agrees  not to effect any  Prohibited  Sale or other
     distribution of its equity securities,  or any securities  convertible into
     or  exchangeable  or  exercisable  for such equity  securities,  during the
     period  commencing  on the  seventh  day  prior to,  and


                                       8





     ending on the one hundred  eightieth  (180th) day following,  the effective
     date of any  underwritten  Demand  or  Piggyback  Registration,  except  in
     connection  with any such  underwritten  registration  and  except  for any
     offering  pursuant to an employee  benefit plan and  registered on Form S-8
     (or any successor form).

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  MISCELLANEyOUS
