consisting of shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the

those terms and the other capitalized terms herein are defined in the Agreement)
(hereinafter referred to as the "Securities").

         In consideration of Purchasers agreeing to purchase the Securities, and
for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written

accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of an option or
warrant) or (2) enter into any swap, option, future, forward or other agreement
that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of
ownership of any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any
security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any securities of
the Company. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, ninety (90) days
