     request that the Company register Common Stock under a registration
     statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 as provided in
     paragraph 6 hereof, in order to permit the sale or distribution of such
     stock, the Company, as soon as practicable after giving written notice to
     HARTFORD (which notice shall be given by the Company within ten (10) days
     after receipt of the written request for registration from HARTFORD) that
     it has elected to file a registration statement for the Common Stock held
     by HARTFORD pursuant to this paragraph, will use its best efforts to effect
     such registration and qualify the Common Stock in such jurisdictions as may

     of the Company or any shareholder thereof) for registration and filing
     fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel, and any
     accounting fees incident to or required by the registration or
     qualification. Underwriting discounts and commissions shall be the pro rata
     expense of each selling shareholder. The Company shall keep effective and

     the shares, and from time to time during such period shall amend or
     supplement the prospectus used in connection therewith to the extent
     necessary in order to comply with the applicable law. The Company shall be
     required to comply with the above registration provisions only once, except

     shall be entitled to a second registration to cover Common Stock acquired
     by it upon exercise of the Warrant an any other shares of Common Stock then
     still owned by HARTFORD.

     Should the Company at any time seek to register all or any part of its
     Common Stock under a registration statement in compliance with the
     Securities Act of 1933, without having been requested to do so by HARTFORD,
     in accordance with this paragraph, HARTFORD may (in addition to its
     registration rights set forth above) add any or all of such shares of the
     Company as it may own to any such registration. The Company shall bear all
     costs and expenses for registration and filing fees, printing expenses,
     fees and disbursements of all counsel and any accounting fees, including

     the distribution or resale thereof and the same shall not be sold or
     transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under the
     Securities Act of 1933 unless an exemption therefrom is available.

     securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Company
     will (a) file reports in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of
