     1.2 Company Registration.

          (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
registration


                                       C-3



statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The
Company shall use its best 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 best efforts to keep the registration statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the
earliest to occur of: (i) the date that is 18 months after the date hereof or
(ii) the date of which all Registrable Securities have been sold (the
"Effectiveness Period").

          (b) If: (i) the registration statement is not filed on or prior to the
Filing Date; or (ii) the Company fails to use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement to be declared effective by the Effectiveness Date (any
such failure or breach being referred to as an "Event," and the date on which
such Event occurs being referred to as the "Event Date"), then, until the
applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor, in cash or in
Common Stock at Fair Market Value at the Company's option, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price
paid by such Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement executed by such
Investor for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods), up to a
maximum of 6.0%, during which such Event continues uncured. While such Event
continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than every
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) business days following
the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the registration of any or
all of the Registrable Securities by the Company on a registration statement is
prohibited (the "Non-Registered Shares") as a result of rules, regulations,
positions or releases issued or actions taken by the SEC pursuant to its
authority with respect to Rule 415 and the Company has registered at such time
the maximum number of Registrable Securities permissible upon consultation with
the SEC, then the liquidated damages described in this Section 1.2(b) shall not
be applicable to such Non-Registered Shares.

          (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 reasonable best 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 during the Effectiveness
Period;

          (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration


                                       C-4



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 reasonable best 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 hereto
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.

     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.


                                       C-5



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


                                       C-6



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

     1.7 Reports Under 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 registration statement;


                                       C-7



          (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 registration statement 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
registration statement), 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 an Investor
to a transferee or assignee who (a) acquires both at least 25,000 Shares and
Warrants to acquire at least 12,500 Shares (all subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations) 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 hereof 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 Company and the managing
underwriter (if a managing or lead underwriter is appointed), during the period
commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial
underwritten public offering of the Company and ending on the date specified by
the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred
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


                                       C-8



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 not apply to
the sale of any shares by an Investor to an underwriter pursuant to an
underwriting agreement and shall only be applicable to the Investors if all the
Company's executive officers, directors and greater than five percent (5%)
stockholders enter into similar agreements. Each Investor agrees to execute an
agreement(s) reflecting (i) and (ii) above as may be requested by the managing
or lead underwriters at the time of the underwritten public offering, and
further agrees that the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with its
transfer agent in order to enforce the covenants in (i) and (ii) above. The
underwriters in connection with the Company's initial underwritten public
offering are intended third party beneficiaries of the covenants in this Section
1.9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce such covenants as
though they were a party hereto.

2. Covenants of the Company to the Investors.

     2.1 Information Rights. The Company shall deliver to each Investor who
holds (and continues to hold) at least 250,000 Shares (subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations), upon the request
of such Investor (which may be satisfied by filing of Company quarterly and
annual reports under the Exchange Act):

          (a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty
(120) calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company,
consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of
the end of such fiscal year, and consolidated statements of income and
consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if
any, for such year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), all in reasonable detail; and

          (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45)
calendar days after the end of each of the first three (3) quarters of each
fiscal year of the Company, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its
subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such quarter, and consolidated statements
of income and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its
subsidiaries, if any, for such quarter prepared in accordance with GAAP, all in
reasonable detail.

     2.2 Confidentiality. Each Investor receiving any non-public information of
the Company hereby agrees to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a
fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Investor may include summary financial
information concerning the Company and general statements concerning the nature
and progress of the Company's business in an Investor's reports to its
affiliates.

3. Legend.

          (a) Each certificate representing Shares of Common Stock held by the
Investors shall be endorsed with the following legend:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES


                                       C-9



          ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
          TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
          REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
          (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT
          REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (C) REASONABLE
          ASSURANCE HAVING BEEN PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE,
          ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A
          UNDER SAID ACT.

          (b) The legend set forth above shall be removed, and the Company shall
issue a certificate without such legend to the transferee of the Shares
represented thereby, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i)
such Shares have been sold under an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer,
such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer
is being made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurance that the Shares are being sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

4. Miscellaneous.

     4.1 Governing Law. The parties hereby agree that any dispute which may
arise between them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be
adjudicated only before a Federal court located in the State of Delaware and
they hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts
of the State of Delaware with respect to any action or legal proceeding
commenced by any party, and irrevocably waive any objection they now or
hereafter may have respecting the venue of any such action or proceeding brought
in such a court or respecting the fact that such court is an inconvenient forum,
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any acts or omissions relating
to the registration of the securities hereunder, and consent to the service of
process in any such action or legal proceeding by means of registered or

a Subscriber (or transferee), the Company (and each other defendant) shall
recover all of such party's attorneys' fees and costs incurred in each and every
action, suit or other proceeding, including any and all appeals or petitions
therefrom. As used herein, attorney's fees shall be deemed to mean the full and
actual costs of any investigation and of legal services actually performed in

Investors holding at least a majority of the Registrable 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.

be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from
this Agreement, and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such
provision were so excluded, and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
