registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements on Form S-3 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 ("SEC").

statement under the Securities Act.
(iii) "Registrable Securities" means the Warrant
Shares and the Note Shares.

Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale by the Investor
of all of the Registrable Securities.
(ii) The Company represents and warrants
that it meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for
registration of the sale by the Investor of the Registerable Securities
and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the
Company with the SEC in a timely manner so as to maintain such
eligibility for the use of Form S-3.
(b) Piggyback Registration.
(i) Whenever the Company proposes to register any of
its Common Stock (either on its own behalf or on behalf of others) under
the Securities Act (other than a transaction described under Rule 145 of
the Securities Act or pursuant to Forms X-0, X-0 or their successor
forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the
registration of the Registrable Securities of the Investor (a "Piggyback
Registration"), the Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Investor of its intention to effect such a registration and will include
in such registration the Registrable Securities of the Investor with
respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company's notice.
(ii) If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the
managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering
without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the
Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the
Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such registration and any other shares of
Common Stock for which the Company has received a request for
registration from the holder thereof pursuant to an agreement between
the Company and such holder (the "Other Registrable Securities"),
pro-rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities and the Other
Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities owned by each
such holder.
(iii) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's
securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing
that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included

offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering,
the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities
requested to be included therein by the holder exercising its demand
registration rights and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such registration and the Other Registrable
Securities, pro-rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities
and the Other Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of
shares of Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities owned
by each such holder.
(iv) In the event of any registration pursuant to this
Section 2 where the full amount of the Registrable Securities and/or the
Other Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration cannot be included in full, then the number of Registrable
Securities and Other Registrable Securities available for registration
shall be allocated among such group pro rata based upon the number of
Registrable Securities and Other Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by each member of the group. The
obligation of the Company to include Registrable Securities and Other
Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to
the advice of the managing underwriter of such underwriter offering,
which may take into account the size of the offering, market conditions
and the appropriateness of the Investor's or Other Registrable
Securities holder's participation if he is an employee, officer or
director of the Company.
(v) The Company will have the right to select the
investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer any offerings.
(c) Rule 144. Notwithstanding the registration
of the resale of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2.(a) above,
if at any time of offer and sale of such Registrable Securities such securities
can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule
144") in the manner, amount and on such terms as the Investor wishes to offer
and sell such securities, the Investor may endeavor to offer and sell such
securities pursuant to Rule 144.
3. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC promptly a Registration
Statement or Statements with respect to the Registrable Securities and
thereafter use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective on or before September 30, 2001, and keep the Registration Statement
effective at all times until such date as is two years, after the date such
Registration Statement is first ordered effective by the SEC. In any case, the
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) filed by the Company 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;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the time periods set
forth in Section 3.(a) above;
(c) Furnish to the Investor (i) promptly after the same is
prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC or received by the
Company, one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, 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 the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor;
(d) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor may reasonably
request, prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements, take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all
times that the Registration Statement is required to be effective under Section
3.(a) hereof and 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 connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.(d), (ii)
subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (iv) provide any
undertakings that cause more than nominal expense or burden to the Company or
(v) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of
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 the 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 an untrue statement of a material fact 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 use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement
or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the
Investor as the Investor may reasonably request;
(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, notify the Investor of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other
suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest
possible time;
(g) Permit a single firm of counsel designated as selling
stockholders' counsel by the Investor and other persons participating in the
offering to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC, and
shall not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects;
(h) Make available for inspection by the Investor, any
underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration
Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Investor
or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable each
Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector
may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence; provided, however,
that each Inspector shall hold in confidence (making such confidential
information known only to officers, agents or employees thereof who have a need
to know), shall not use any information so obtained for any purpose other than
preparation or review of the Registration Statement, and shall not make any
disclosure (except to an Investor or underwriter) of any Record or other
information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in
any Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is requested
pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of
competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the information in such Records has been made
generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this
or any other agreement. The Company shall not be required to disclose any
confidential information in such Records to any Inspector or the Investor until
and unless the Investor or Inspector shall have entered into confidentiality
agreements (in a form as is customary in similar circumstances) with the Company
with respect thereto, substantially in the form of this Section 3.(h). The
Investor agrees that he shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is
sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at
the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of,
or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. The
Company shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure of
information concerning an Investor provided to the Company pursuant to Section
4.(a) hereof unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply
with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The
Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information
concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of
competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the
Investor, to undertake, at Investor's expense, appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information;
(i) Use its best efforts either to cause all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on the American
Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange and on each additional
national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Common Stock is then permitted
under the rules of such exchange or secure designation of all the Common Stock
covered by the Registration Statement as a National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ") "national market system security"
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 Common Stock
on the NASDAQ National Market System; or, if, despite the Company's best efforts
to satisfy the preceding clause (i) or (ii), the Company is unsuccessful in
satisfying the preceding clause (i) or (ii), to arrange for at least two market
makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") as such with respect to such Common Stock;
(j) ____ Provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a
single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date
of the Registration Statement;
(k) Cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends)
representing Registrable Securities to be sold in the denominations or amounts
as the case may be, and registered in such names as the Investor may reasonably
request; and
(l) take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite
and facilitate disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
4. Obligations of the Investor. In connection with the
registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investor 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 Investor that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of the Common Stock held
by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the Common
Stock and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as
the Company may reasonably request. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the
first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify the Investor of the information the Company requires from the Investor
(the "Requested Information").
(b) The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and
filing of the Registration Statement hereunder.
(c) The 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), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement 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, the
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 the
Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(d) In the event the Investor determines to engage the
services of an underwriter, the Investor agrees to enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution
obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities.
5. Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than brokerage
commissions or discounts) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees and
the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the
Company; provided, however, that the Investor shall bear the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of the one legal counsel selected pursuant to Section
3.(g) hereof.
6. Indemnification.
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act) for the Investor, the directors, if any, of such
underwriter and the officers, if any, of such underwriter, and each person, if
any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several) (collectively "Claims") to
which any of them 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 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 or 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"). Subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.(d) with respect to the number of
legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such
underwriters or controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and
are due and payable, for any 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) (i) shall not 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 any Indemnified Person
or underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not
inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such
Claim purchased the Common Stock 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; (iii) shall not 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; and (iv) shall not
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.
(b) ____ By the Investor. In connection with any Registration
Statement in which an Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth
in Section 6.(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and
together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim
to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with
such Registration Statement or (ii) the Investor's violation of Regulation M;
and the Investor will promptly reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.(b)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Party and shall survive the transfer of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares by the
Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.(b) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party
if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as
then amended or supplemented.
(c) The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities
from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in any distribution, to the same extent as
provided above, with respect to information such persons so furnished in writing
by such persons expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
(d) 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 parties 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 fees and expenses to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable written 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 or other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal
counsel for the Investor. 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 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.
(e) Contribution. To the extent any indemnification provided
for herein 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 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, no seller of Common Stock guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Common Stock who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and contribution by any seller of
Common Stock shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received
by such seller from the sale of such Common Stock.
7. Reports under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to
the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the
Company to the public without Registration, until such time as the Investor has
sold all the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule
144, the Company agrees 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 the Investor so long as the Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, 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 such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit
the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without Registration.
8. 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 the Investor.
Any amendment of waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8 shall be
binding upon the Investor and the Company.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) If the Company receives conflicting instructions,
notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of
instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such
Registrable Securities.

each such party furnishes by notice given in accordance with this Section 9(b),
and shall be effective, when personally delivered, upon receipt, and when so
sent by certified mail, four business days after deposit with the United States
Postal Service.
(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy
under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right
or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
(d) This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to the
agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without giving
effect to rules governing the conflict of laws. In the event that any provision
of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or
rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that
it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such
statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision hereof.
(e) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no
restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth
or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
