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 31, 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.

thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part

by jury with respect to any adjudication arising between the parties pursuant to
