          (a)  On or prior to the Filing Date the Company shall prepare and file

for an  offering to be made on a  continuous  basis  pursuant  to Rule 415.  The
Registration  Statement shall be on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 (except if the Company
is not then eligible to register for resale the  Registrable  Securities on Form
SB-2  or  Form  S-3,  in  which  case  such  registration  shall  be on  another
appropriate  form  in  accordance   herewith).   The  Company  shall  cause  the


                                       2


Registration  Statement  to become  effective  and remain  effective as provided
herein.  The Company shall use its  reasonable  commercial  efforts to cause the
Registration  Statement to be declared  effective  under the  Securities  Act as
promptly as possible  after the filing  thereof,  but in any event no later than
the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable  commercial efforts
to keep the Registration  Statement  continuously effective under the Securities
Act  until  the date  which  is the  earlier  date of when  (i) all  Registrable
Securities  have  been  sold  or (ii)  all  Registrable  Securities  may be sold
immediately  without  registration  under the  Securities Act and without volume
restrictions  pursuant  to Rule  144(k),  as  determined  by the  counsel to the
Company  pursuant to a written  opinion  letter to such  effect,  addressed  and
acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the affected Investors.

          (b)  If: (i) the  Registration  Statement  is not filed on or prior to
the Filing Date; (ii) the  Registration  Statement is not declared  effective by
the  Commission  by the  Effectiveness  Date;  or (iii)  after the  Registration
Statement  is  filed  with  and  declared  effective  by  the  Commission,   the
Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to
all  Registrable  Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior
to  the  expiration  of  the  Effectiveness   Period  (without  being  succeeded
immediately  by  an  additional   registration   statement  filed  and  declared
effective)  for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per
year or more than 20 consecutive  calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days
commencing on the date the Registration  Statement is declared effective);  (any
such  failure or breach  being  referred to as an "Event,"  and for  purposes of
clause (i) or (ii) the date on which  such  Event  occurs,  or for  purposes  of
clause  (iii) the date  which such 30 day or 20  consecutive  day period (as the
case may be) is exceeded,  or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such
three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded,  being  referred to as "Event  Date"),
then until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor
in  Common  Stock at Fair  Market  Value,  as  liquidated  damages  and not as a
penalty,  equal to 1.0% payable, up to a maximum of 6%, for each thirty (30) day
period  (prorated for partial  periods) on a daily basis of the aggregate amount
invested by such Investor.  While such Event continues,  such liquidated damages
shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days.  Any unpaid  liquidated
damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid
within three (3) days  following  the date on which such Event has been cured by
the Company.

          (c)  The  Company  shall  bear  and  pay  all  expenses   incurred  in
connection  with  any  registration,  filing  or  qualification  of  Registrable
Securities  with respect to the  registrations  pursuant to this Section 1.2 for
each Investor,  including  (without  limitation)  all  registration,  filing and
qualification fees,  printer's fees,  accounting fees and fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions
relating to Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Investors.

     1.3  OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.  Whenever required under this Section 1 to
effect the  registration  of any Registrable  Securities,  the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:

          (a)  Prepare and file with the  Commission  a  registration  statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially  reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective,  and, upon the
request of the  Investors of at least a majority of the  Registrable  Securities
registered  thereunder,  keep such registration statement effective for a period
which shall end the  earlier of when (i) all  Registrable  Securities  have been


                                       3


sold  or  (ii)  all  Registrable  Securities  may be  sold  immediately  without
registration under the Securities Act and without volume  restrictions  pursuant
to Rule 144(k);

          (b)  Prepare  and  file  with  the  Commission   such  amendments  and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with  such  registration  statement  as may be  necessary  to  comply  with  the
provisions  of  the  Securities  Act  with  respect  to the  disposition  of all
securities covered by such registration statement;

          (c)  Furnish to the Investors  such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary  prospectus,  in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable  Securities owned by them (provided
that the Company  would not be required  to print such  prospectuses  if readily
available to Investors from any electronic service,  such as on the EDGAR filing
database maintained at www.sec.gov);

          (d)  Use its commercially  reasonable  efforts to register and qualify
the  securities  covered  by  such  registration   statement  under  such  other
securities'  or blue sky  laws of such  jurisdictions  as  shall  be  reasonably
requested by the  Investors;  provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection  therewith or as a condition  thereto to qualify to do business or to
file  a  general   consent  to  service  of  process  in  any  such   states  or
jurisdictions;

          (e)  In the event of any underwritten public offering,  enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting  agreement, in usual and customary
form,  with  the  managing   underwriter(s)  of  such  offering  (each  Investor
participating  in such  underwriting  shall  also  enter  into and  perform  its
obligations under such an agreement);

          (f)  Notify each Investor of  Registrable  Securities  covered by such
registration  statement  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 such registration  statement, as
then in effect,  includes  an untrue  statement  of a material  fact or omits to
state a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or  necessary to make the
statements  therein  not  misleading  in the  light  of the  circumstances  then
existing;

          (g)  Cause  all  such  Registrable   Securities   registered  pursuant
hereunder  to be listed on each  securities  exchange or  nationally  recognized
quotation  system on which  similar  securities  issued by the  Company are then
listed; and

          (h)  Provide  a  transfer  agent  and  registrar  for all  Registrable
Securities  registered  pursuant  hereunder  and a CUSIP  number  for  all  such
Registrable  Securities,  in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.

     1.4  FURNISH  INFORMATION.  It  shall  be  a  condition  precedent  to  the
Company's obligations to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect
to the Registrable  Securities of any selling  Investor that such Investor shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Investor, the Registrable
Securities held by such Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required by the Company or the managing underwriters,  if
any, to effect the registration of such Investor's Registrable Securities.

                                       4


     1.5  DELAY OF  REGISTRATION.  No Investor shall have any right to obtain or
seek an injunction  restraining or otherwise  delaying any such  registration as
the  result  of  any   controversy   that  might  arise  with   respect  to  the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

     1.6  INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  To the extent  permitted by law, the Company will  indemnify  and
hold harmless each Investor,  any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act)
for such  Investor  and each  person,  if any,  who  controls  such  Investor or
underwriter  within  the  meaning of the  Securities  Act or the  Exchange  Act,
against any losses, claims,  damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which
any of the foregoing  persons may become subject under the  Securities  Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state  securities law,  insofar as such losses,
claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereof) arise out of or
are  based  upon  any of  the  following  statements,  omissions  or  violations
(collectively,  a  "VIOLATION"):  (i) any untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue
statement of a material fact  contained in a registration  statement,  including
any  preliminary  prospectus  or  final  prospectus  contained  therein  or  any
amendments  or  supplements  thereto  (collectively,  the  "FILINGS"),  (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Filings a material fact required to
be stated therein,  or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading,
or (iii) any  violation or alleged  violation  by the Company of the  Securities
Act,  the  Exchange  Act,  any state  securities  law or any rule or  regulation
promulgated  under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state  securities
law; and the Company will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any person to be indemnified  pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,  claim,  damage,
liability,  or action if such settlement is effected  without the consent of the
Company  (which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld),  nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,  liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation  that
occurs in reliance upon and in  conformity  with written  information  furnished
expressly for use in connection  with such  registration  by any such  Investor,
underwriter or controlling person.

          (b) To the extent  permitted by law, each Investor will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company,  each of its directors,  each of its officers who has
signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities  Act, any  underwriter,  any other Investor
selling securities in such registration  statement and any controlling person of
any such underwriter or other Investor,  against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities  (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject  under the  Securities  Act, the Exchange Act or other  federal or state
securities  law  insofar as such  losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  (or
actions in respect  thereto)  arise out of or are based upon any  Violation,  in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such  Violation  occurs in
reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information  furnished by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such  registration;  and each such
Investor will pay any legal or other expenses  reasonably incurred by any person
to  be  indemnified   pursuant  to  this  Section  1.6(b)  in  connection   with
investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.6(b)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,  claim,  damage,
liability or action if such  settlement  is effected  without the consent of the
Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);  PROVIDED, HOWEVER,


                                       5


in no event shall any indemnity  under this  subsection  1.6(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Investor.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
1.6 of notice of the  commencement  of any action  (including  any  governmental
action),  such  indemnified  party will, if a claim in respect  thereof is to be
made  against any  indemnifying  party under this  Section  1.6,  deliver to the
indemnifying  party  a  written  notice  of the  commencement  thereof  and  the
indemnifying  party shall have the right to  participate  in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying  party so desires,  jointly with any other  indemnifying  party
similarly  noticed,   to  assume  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually
satisfactory  to the  parties;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that an  indemnified  party
(together with all other  indemnified  parties that may be  represented  without
conflict by one counsel)  shall have the right to retain one  separate  counsel,
with  the  fees  and  expenses  to  be  paid  by  the  indemnifying   party,  if
representation  of  such  indemnified  party  by  the  counsel  retained  by the
indemnifying  party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential  differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel  in such  proceeding.  The  failure  to  deliver  written  notice to the
indemnifying  party within a  reasonable  time of the  commencement  of any such
action,  if materially  prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,  shall
relieve such indemnifying  party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this  Section  1.6,  but  the  omission  so to  deliver  written  notice  to the
indemnifying  party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.6.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in Sections 1.6(a) and (b) is
held by a court of competent  jurisdiction  to be  unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss,  claim,  damage or expense  referred to therein,
then the  indemnifying  party in lieu of  indemnifying  such  indemnified  party
hereunder,  shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such  indemnified
party as a result of such loss,  claim,  damage or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative  fault of the  indemnifying  party on the
one  hand and of the  indemnified  party on the  other  in  connection  with the
statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss,  liability,  claim or  expense  as well as any  other  relevant  equitable
considerations.  The  relative  fault  of  the  indemnifying  party  and  of the
indemnified  party shall be  determined  by reference  to,  among other  things,
whether the untrue or alleged  untrue  statement  of a material  fact relates to
information  supplied by the indemnifying  party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent,  knowledge,  access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall any Investor
be required to  contribute  an amount in excess of the gross  proceeds  from the
offering received by such Investor.

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

          (f)  The  obligations of the Company and Investors  under this Section
1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable  Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

                                       6


     1.7  REPORTS UNER SECURITIES  EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission,  including Rule
144,  that may at any time permit an Investor to sell  securities of the Company
to the public without  registration  or pursuant to a registration on Form SB-2,
the Company agrees to:

          (a)  make and keep public  information  available,  as those terms are
understood  and defined in Rule 144,  at all times after  ninety (90) days after
the effective date of the first registration  statement filed by the Company for
the offering of its securities to the general public;

          (b)  take such action,  including  the voluntary  registration  of its
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the
Investors  to utilize  Form SB-2 for the sale of their  Registrable  Securities,
such action to be taken as soon as practicable  after the end of the fiscal year
in which the first registration  statement filed by the Company for the offering
of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

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

          (d)  furnish  to any  Investor,  so  long  as the  Investor  owns  any
Registrable  Securities,  forthwith upon request (i) a written  statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any
time after  ninety  (90)  calendar  days after the  effective  date of the first
registration  statement  filed  by the  Company),  the  Securities  Act  and the
Exchange  Act (at  any  time  after  it has  become  subject  to such  reporting
requirements),  or that it  qualifies as a registrant  whose  securities  may be
resold pursuant to Form SB-2 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports
and documents so filed by the Company,  and (iii) such other  information as may
be  reasonably  requested in availing any Investor of any rule or  regulation of
the  Commission  that  permits  the  selling  of  any  such  securities  without
registration or pursuant to such form.

     1.8  TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the
Company to register  Registrable  Securities  pursuant to this  Section 1 may be
transferred or assigned, but only with all related obligations, by a Investor to
a transferee  or assignee who (a)  acquires at least 50,000  shares  (subject to
appropriate  adjustment for stock splits,  stock dividends and  combinations) of
Registrable  Securities from such transferring Investor or (b) holds Registrable
Securities  immediately  prior to such transfer or assignment;  provided that in
the case of (a),  (i) prior to such  transfer  or  assignment,  the  Company  is
furnished with written notice stating the name and address of such transferee or
assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such  registration
rights are being  transferred  or  assigned,  (ii) such  transferee  or assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,  including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.9 and (iii)
such transfer or assignment  shall be effective  only if  immediately  following
such transfer or assignment the further  disposition  of such  securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.

     1.9  "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. Each Investor hereby agrees that it will
not, without the prior written consent of the managing  underwriter,  during the
period commencing on the date of the final prospectus  relating to the Company's
initial  underwritten  public  offering and ending on the date  specified by the
Company  and the  managing  underwriter  (such  period not to exceed one hundred


                                       7


eighty (180) calendar days) (i) lend,  offer,  pledge,  sell,  contract to sell,
sell any option or  contract  to  purchase,  purchase  any option or contract to
sell, grant any option,  right or warrant to purchase,  or otherwise transfer or
dispose of,  directly or indirectly,  any  securities of the Company,  including
(without  limitation) shares of Common Stock or any securities  convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable  for Common Stock (whether now owned or hereafter
acquired)  or (ii) enter into any swap or other  arrangement  that  transfers to
another,  in whole or in part, any of the economic  consequences of ownership of
any securities of the Company,  including (without  limitation) shares of Common
Stock or any securities  convertible  into or exercisable  or  exchangeable  for
Common  Stock  (whether  now  owned or  hereafter  acquired),  whether  any such
transaction  described  in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery
of securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing covenants shall apply only to
the Company's initial  underwritten public offering of equity securities,  shall
not apply to the sale of any shares by a Investor to an underwriter  pursuant to
an  underwriting  agreement and shall only be applicable to the Investors if all

though they were a party hereto.

4.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     4.1  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the

without regard to conflict of laws rules.

     4.2  WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may be terminated and any term

Securities then  outstanding  (the "MAJORITY  INVESTORS").  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  additional  parties may be added as Investors  under this  Agreement
with the  written  consent of the Company and the  Majority  Investors.  No such
amendment or waiver shall reduce the  aforesaid  percentage  of the  Registrable
Securities,  the holders of which are  required  to consent to any  termination,
amendment  or waiver  without  the  consent of the record  holders of all of the
Registrable  Securities.  Any  termination,  amendment  or  waiver  effected  in
accordance  with  this  Section  4.2  shall  be  binding  upon  each  holder  of
Registrable  Securities  then  outstanding,  each  future  holder  of  all  such
Registrable Securities and the Company.
