THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of October __, 1999,

hereto (the "Initial Investor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, UPON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, between the Initial Investor and the Company (the

WHEREAS, to induce the Initial Investor to execute and deliver the
Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration
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:
I. Definitions.
(a) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meaning:
(i) "Closing Date" means the date the funds are wired to the
Company or its attorney.
(ii) "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.
(iii) "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").
(iv) "Registrable Securities" means the Shares.
(v) "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 hereby grants to the Initial
Investor piggy-back registration rights in the Company's most recent
Registration Statement. The Company shall include in its current Registration
Statement the Registrable Securities. 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.
(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 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 within ninety (90) calendar days following
the Closing Date, then the Company shall pay the Initial Investor 2% of the
purchase price paid by the Initial Investor for the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for every thirty day period, or portion
thereof, following the ninety (90) calendar day period until the Registration
Statement is declared effective. 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. The above damages shall continue until the obligation
is fulfilled and shall be paid within 5 business days after each 30 day period,
or portion thereof, until the Registration Statement is declared effective.
Failure of the Company to make payment within said 5 business days shall be
considered a default.
The Company acknowledges that its failure to have the Registration
Statement declared effective within said ninety (90) calendar day period
following the Closing Date, will cause the Initial Investor to suffer damages in
an amount that will be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties agree
that it is appropriate to include in this Agreement a provision for liquidated
damages. The parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages provision
set forth in this section represents the parties' good faith effort to quantify
such damages and, as such, agree that the form and amount of such liquidated
damages are reasonable and will not constitute a penalty. The payment of
liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to
register the Common Stock and deliver the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement.
3. OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:
(a) Either include the Registrable Securities in the Company's current
Registration Statement or file an amendment to the Company's current
Registration Statement to include the Registrable Securities, and thereafter use
its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective the earlier of (i) five business days after
notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Registration
Statement may be declared effective, or (b) ninety (90) days after the Closing
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 the
Closing Date (ii) the date when the Investors may sell all Registrable
Securities under Rule 144 or (iii) the date the Investors no longer own any of
the Registrable Securities, which Registration Statement (including any
amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not
contain any untrue statement of a material 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;

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

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

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

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:

Section 3(d), (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
(C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (D)

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

or omits to state a material fact required 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

of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may reasonably
request;

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 Statement to be
listed on a national securities exchange and on each additional 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 The Nasdaq Stock

over-the-counter bulletin board and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the

to such Registrable Securities;
(h) Provide a transfer agent for the Registrable Securities not later
than the effective date of the Registration Statement;

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

Securities are included in such Registration Statement) a form of appropriate
instruction and opinion of such counsel acceptable for use for each conversion;
and
(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 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
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 of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to 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, 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.
10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Agreement
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and investors who hold a majority in interest of
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
