to issue and sell to the Initial Investor 6% Convertible Debentures of the

Shares") upon the terms and subject to the conditions of such Debentures; and
WHEREAS, to induce the Initial Investor to execute and deliver the

rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the
"Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws with respect to the
Conversion Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the
Initial Investor hereby agrees as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
(a) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
the following meaning:
(i) "Investor" means the Initial Investor and any transferee
or assignee who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof.
(ii) "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement
or Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for
offering securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the
declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement
by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
(iii) "Registrable Securities" means the Conversion Shares.

(iv) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement
of the Company under the Securities Act.
(b) As used in this Agreement, the term Investor includes (i)
each Investor (as defined above) and (ii) each person who is a permitted
transferee or assignee of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 9 of
this Agreement.
(c) Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Subscription
Agreement.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) MANDATORY REGISTRATION. The Company shall prepare and file
with the SEC, no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 covering a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock for the Initial Investors (or any other available form), but in no
event less than 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock into which the $5,000,000 of
Debentures in the total offering would be convertible. Such Registration
Statement shall state that, in accordance with the Securities Act, it also
covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may
become issuable to prevent dilution resulting from Stock splits, or stock
dividends). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Debenture may be converted exceeds the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock then registered, the Company shall, within ten (10) business days after
receipt of written notice from any Investor, either (i) amend the Registration
Statement filed by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence, if such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC at that time,
to register all shares of Common Stock into which the Debenture may be
converted, or (ii) if such Registration Statement has been declared effective by
the SEC at that time, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 to register the shares of Common Stock into which the Debenture may be
converted that exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock already
registered.
(b) UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. If any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten
offering, the Investors acting by majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities subject to such underwritten offering shall have the right to select
one legal counsel to represent their interests, and an investment banker or
bankers and manager or managers to administer the offering, which investment
banker or bankers or manager or managers shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company. The Investors who hold the Registrable Securities to be included in
such underwriting shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and other
fees and expenses of such investment banker or bankers and manager or managers
so selected in accordance with this Section 2(b) (other than fees and expenses
relating to registration of Registrable Securities under federal or state
securities laws, which are payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof)
with respect to
-2-
3
their Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of such legal counsel so
selected by the Investors.
(c) PAYMENT BY THE COMPANY. If the Registration Statement
covering the Registrable Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to Section 2(a) hereof is not declared effective by November 3, 1997 (the
"Initial Date"), then the Company will make payments to the Initial Investor in
such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to this Section
2(c). The amount to be paid by the Company to the Initial Investor shall be
determined as of each Computation Date, as defined below in this Section 2(c),
and such amount shall be equal to two (2%) percent of the purchase price paid by
the Initial Investor for the Debenture pursuant to the Subscription Agreement
for the period from the Initial Date to the first Computation Date, and two (2%)
percent of the purchase price for each Computation Date thereafter, to the date
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the "Periodic
Amount"). The full Periodic Amount shall be paid by the Company in immediately
available funds within five business days after each Computation Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts payable by the Company pursuant to
this provision shall not be payable to the extent any delay in the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement occurs because of an act of, or a failure to act
or to act timely by the Initial Investor or its counsel.
As used in this Section 2(c), the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
"Computation Date" means the date which is the earlier of (a) 35 days
after the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement may be
declared effective or (b) one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date
and, if the Registration Statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to Section 2(a) has not therefore been declared effective by the SEC, each date
which is thirty (30) days after the previous Computation Date until such
Registration Statement is so declared effective.
3. OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:
(a) Prepare promptly, and file with the SEC within thirty (30)
days of the Closing Date, a Registration Statement with respect to not less than

Date, and keep the Registration Statement effective at all times until the
earliest (the "Registration Period"), of (i) the date that is two years after

Securities under Rule 144 or (iii) the date the Investors no longer own any of

4
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including

provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement;
(c) Furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are
included in the Registration Statement and its legal counsel identified to the

Statement, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such
other documents, as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor;
(d) Use reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investors who hold a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being offered reasonably
request and in which significant volumes of shares of Common Stock are traded,
(ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof at all
times during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualification in effect at all
times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such
jurisdictions: provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in

jurisdiction, (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such

Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders;
(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, notify each Investor of the happening of any event of which the Company
has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes any

to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and uses its best
efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration
Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or
amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request;
(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in
the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the
issuance by the SEC of any notice of effectiveness or any stop order or other
suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible time;
(g) Use its commercially reasonable efforts, if eligible,
either to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration

national securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series
issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such
Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or
(ii) secure designation of all the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement as a National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations System ("NASDAQ") "Small Capitalization" within the meaning of Rule
11Aa2-1 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and the quotation of the Registrable Securities on the NASDAQ
Small Cap Market; or if, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts
to satisfy the preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Company is unsuccessful in
doing so, to secure NASD authorization and quotation for such Registrable
Securities on the over-the-counter bulletin board and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to

such with respect to such registrable securities;

Securities being offered to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the
Registration Statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations or amounts as the case may be, as the
Investors may reasonably request and registration in such names as the Investors
may request; and, within five (5) business days after a Registration Statement
which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the
Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to
deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to
the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration
Statement) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel; and
-5-

(j) Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite
and facilitate distribution to the Investor of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS. In connection with the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations;
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall
timely furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the
registration of such Registrable Securities and shall timely execute such
documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably
request. At least five (5) days prior to the first anticipated filing date of
the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the
information the Company requires from each such Investor (the "Requested
Information") if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement. If at least two (2) business
days prior to the filing date the Company has not received the Requested
Information from an Investor (a "Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may
file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such
Non-Responsive Investor;
(b) Each Investor by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company
in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's
Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; and
(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)
or 3(f), above, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if
so directed by the Company, such investor shall deliver to the Company (at the
expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of
destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filing or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, but including,
without limitations, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees,
printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, shall be borne by the Company.

6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the
directors, if any, of such Investor, the officers, if any, of such Investor,
each person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred
(collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereof or any prospectus included therein: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements therein were made, 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 under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or any state securities law (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). The Company shall reimburse
the Investors, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable,
for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (i) apply to a Claim arising out of or
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section
3(b) hereof; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, inure to the
benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim
purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the
benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected
in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; (iii) be
available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to
deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company;
or (iv) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
-7-
8
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Investor will
indemnify the Company, its officers, directors and agents (including Counsel)
against any claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company, by or on behalf of such Investor, expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement, subject to such limitations and
conditions as are applicable to the Indemnification provided by the Company to
this Section 6. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to
Section 9.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 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
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel
of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. In such event, the Company shall pay for only one
separate legal counsel for the Investors; such legal counsel shall be selected
by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of
any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability
to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred
and is due and payable.
7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6; (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty or
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to
-8-
9
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds
received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to the
Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any
other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the
Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (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 to
permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to have the
Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be
automatically assigned by the Investors to any transferee of in excess of fifty
(50%) percent or more of the Registrable Securities (or all or any portion of
any Debenture of the Company which is convertible into such securities) only if:
(a) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign
such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is, within a reasonable
time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the
name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c)
immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of
such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, and (d) at or before the time the
Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence
the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all
of the provisions contained herein. In the event of any delay in filing or
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as a result of such assignment, the
Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such delay, or the
payments set forth in Section 2(c) hereof.

the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with
this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.

Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company received conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
