     successors or assigns which correspond or were issued in connection or
     association with the schedule of notes attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and

     issuance of Preferred Stock. The Company shall promptly take such steps as
     may be necessary or appropriate under the laws of Delaware and the federal
     securities laws to permit the issuance of the Preferred Stock. If the
     authorization and issuance of such Preferred Stock requires an amendment to

     stockholders of such amendment, the Company shall immediately initiate the
     necessary and required documents and corporate meetings. The Preferred
     Stock shall be non-voting stock.

     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
     BCM (which notice shall be given by the Company within ten (10) days after
     receipt of the written request for registration from BCM) that it has
     elected to file a registration statement for the Common Stock held by BCM
     pursuant to this paragraph, will use its best efforts to effect such
     registration and qualify the Common Stock in such jurisdictions as may be
     requested by BCM. Any such registration of shares requested by BCM may
     include shares of Common Stock owned by other shareholders of the Company.

     number of shares that may be included in any registration. Each selling
     shareholder shall bear a pro rata portion of all costs and expenses paid to

     Company or any shareholder thereof) for registration and filing fees,

     fees incident to or required by the registration or qualification.

     prospectus used in connection therewith to the extent necessary in order to
     comply with the applicable law. The Company shall be required to comply

     the Warrant an any other shares of Common Stock then still owned by BCM.

     Common Stock under a registration statement in compliance with the
     Securities Act of 1933, without having been requested to do so by BCM, in
     accordance with this paragraph, BCM 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

     Stock are being acquired for its own account and not with a view to 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.

8.   Agreements Relating to Rule 144. If and so long as the Company has
     securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Company
     will (a) file reports in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of
