SECTION 3. Registration Rights.
3.1. Request for Registration. If the Company proposes to register any of
its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") (except for
registrations on Forms S-8 or S-4 or their equivalent), it will give written
notice by registered mail, at least twenty (20) days prior to the filing of each
such registration statement, to the Purchaser of its intention to do so. If the
Purchaser notifies the Company within ten (10) days after receipt of any such
notice of its desire to include any of the Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares
(together, the "Underlying Shares"), the Company shall afford the Purchaser the
opportunity to have any such Underlying Shares registered under such
registration statement at the Company's sole cost and expense; provided,
however, that the Purchaser shall not have any registration rights with respect
to that certain registration on Form SB-2 to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to the Private Equity Credit Agreement entered
into by the Company on January __, 2005, or any amendments thereto.
3.2. Limitations on Registration.
(a) Termination of Registration Rights. These rights may be exercised at
any time on an unlimited number of occasions after the date hereof until such
time when all Underlying Shares may be sold 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 Purchaser.
(b) Underwritten Offerings. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company shall not be
required to include any Underlying Shares in such underwriting unless such
Purchaser accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the
Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity as
will not, in the reasonable opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success
of the offering by the Company. If the underwriters reasonably believe the total
amount of Underlying Shares which the Purchaser requests to be included in an
underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 3, together with any other shares
of Common Stock for which registration has been requested by holders with
similar rights, exceeds the amount of securities that the underwriters
reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering, the Company
shall only be required to include in the offering so many of the Underlying
Shares and such other shares of Common Stock as the underwriters reasonably
believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering, such shares so included
to be apportioned pro rata among the Purchaser and other holders based on the
number of shares for which registration was initially requested.
SECTION 4. Expenses. Each party hereto will pay its own expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such
transactions shall be consummated.
SECTION 5. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered
by hand, sent via overnight courier, sent by facsimile, or mailed by first class
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid:

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part
of the County of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting
in the County of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements and hereby waives, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on
FORUM NON CONVENIENS, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions. Each of the parties hereto expressly waives its right to a trial
by jury with respect to any adjudication arising between the parties pursuant to
this Agreement.
SECTION 8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and is
in full substitution for any and all prior oral or written agreements and
understandings between them related to such subject matter, and neither party
hereto shall be liable or bound to the other party hereto in any manner with
respect to such subject matter by any representations, indemnities, covenants or
agreements except as specifically set forth herein.
