         (a)     promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,

         (b)     use its best efforts to effect such registration,
qualification or compliance as soon as practicable (including, without
limitation, undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act, and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or

together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder
or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request

                 (ii)     within one hundred and eighty (180) days immediately
         following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining
         to a firm commitment underwritten offering of securities of the
         Company for its own account;

                 (iii)    after the Company has effected three (3) such

         or ordered effective, and the Registrable Securities offered pursuant
         to each such registration have been sold, or if the Company has
         effected any requested registration (other than a registration for the
         Company's Initial Public Offering) pursuant to this Agreement during
         the previous six-month period;

                 (iv)     if the Company then meets the eligibility

         intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the
         Commission within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such request
         (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a
         Rule 145 transaction or an offering solely to employees).

         (c)     Subject to the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), the Company
shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request
of the Initiating Holders and provide notice to the other Holders as required

Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for
such registration statement to be filed, the Company shall have the right to
defer such filing for a period of not more than 180 days after receipt of the
request of the Initiating Holders; provided, further, that the Company shall
not be permitted to exercise such deferral right under this Section 2.1(c) or

pursuant to this Article 2 prior to the effective date of Series C Qualified
Public Offering unless such requested registration is for a public offering of

of at least $5,000,000.  In the event the Company shall receive from the Series
C Initiating Holders a written request that the

qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and

         (b)     use its best efforts to effect such registration,
qualification or compliance as soon as practicable (including, without
limitation, undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act, and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or
such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder
or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
received by the Company within 15 days after the receipt of the written notice

Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such

                 (i)      in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
         would be required to execute a general consent to service of process
         in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless
         the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
         except as may be required by the Securities Act;

                 (ii)     within one hundred and eighty (180) days immediately
         following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining
         to a firm commitment underwritten offering of securities of the
         Company for its own account;

                 (iii)    after the Company has effected one (1) such requested
         registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (not including registrations
         on Form S-3), each such registration has been declared or ordered
         effective, and the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to each
         such registration have been sold, or if the Company has effected any
         requested registration (other than a registration for the Company's
         Initial Public Offering) pursuant to this Agreement during the
         previous six-month period;

                 (iv)     if the Company then meets the eligibility

         of the request of the Holder or Holders, gives notice of its bona fide
         intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the
         Commission within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such request
         (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a
         Rule 145 transaction or an offering solely to employees).

         (c)     Subject to the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), the Company
shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request
of the Series C Initiating Holders and provide notice to the





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9
other Holders as required by Section 2.2(a); provided, however, that if the
Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman or
Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed, the
Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than
180 days after receipt of the request of such Series C Initiating Holders;
provided, further, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise such
deferral right under this Section 2.2(c) or Section 4.1(c) hereof more than
once in any 365-day period.

         2.3     Underwriting.

         (a)     With respect to registrations initiated pursuant to Section
2.1 herein, the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by the
request of the Holders shall be effected by means of the method of distribution
selected by the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration.  With respect to registrations initiated pursuant
to Section 2.2 herein, the distribution of Registrable Securities covered by
such request shall be effected by means of the method selection by the holders
of a majority of the Series C Investors holding Registrable Securities.  If
such distribution is effected by means of an underwriting, the right of any
Holder to registration pursuant to this Article 2 shall be conditioned upon
such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein.

         (b)     If such distribution is effected by means of an underwriting,
the Company (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting (the "Participating Holders")) shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with a managing underwriter of
nationally recognized standing selected for such underwriting by the Company
and approved by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article 2, if the managing underwriter advises the
Participating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, then the underwriters may exclude
shares requested to be included in such registration.  The number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among the Participating Holders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such
Participating Holders at the time of filing the registration statement.  In
addition, if the managing underwriter further determines that marketing factors
require a further limitation on the number of shares proposed to be registered
by each of Daniel Pelson ("Pelson"), and Jane Mount ("Mount"), then the
underwriters may exclude such shares as may be necessary to effect such
registration in proportion as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts
of Registrable Securities held by each of Pelson and Mount at the time of
filing the registration statement.  No Registrable Securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation shall
be included in such registration.

         (c)     If any Participating Holder disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the managing underwriter and the other Participating Holders.  The
Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be
withdrawn from registration; provided, however, that if by the withdrawal of
such Registrable Securities a greater number of Registrable Securities held by





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   10
other Participating Holders may be included in such registration (up to the
maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall
offer to all Participating Holders who have included Registrable Securities in
the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the
same proportion used in determining the underwriter limitation in this Section
2.3.

         2.4     Inclusion of Shares by Company.  If the distribution of
Registrable Securities is being effected by means of an underwriting and if the
managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be
underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account or for the
account of others in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees.
The inclusion of such shares shall be on the same terms as the registration of
shares held by the Participating Holders.  In the event that the underwriters
exclude some of the securities to be registered, the securities to be sold for
the account of the Company and any other holders shall be excluded in their
entirety prior to the exclusion of any Registrable Securities.

         2.5     Cancellation of Registration.  A majority in interest of the
Participating Holders shall have the right to cancel a proposed registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 2 when, in their discretion, market
conditions are so unfavorable as to be seriously detrimental to an offering
pursuant to such registration.  Such cancellation of a registration shall not
be counted as one of the three (3) such requested registrations pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)(iii) or the one (1) such requested registration pursuant to
Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Holders canceling such registration
shall pay expenses attributable to such registration.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                              COMPANY REGISTRATION

         3.1     Notice of Registration to Holders.  If at any time or from
time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities,
either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders,
other than (i) a registration qualifying as an Initial Public Offering (ii) a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 (or any
successor form) or (iii) a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule
145 transaction on Form S-4 (or any successor form or other form not available
for registering the Registrable Securities to the public), the Company will:

        (a)     promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof, and

        (b)     include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or
requests, made within 30 days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company described in Section 3.1(a), by any Holder or Holders.

         3.2     Underwriting.  If the registration of which the Company gives
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 3.1(a).  In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Article 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All
Holders proposing to distribute their





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   11
securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter
selected for such underwriting by the Company.

         (a)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 3, if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or
all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting.  The
Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities, and the number
of shares of Common Stock to be included in such registration shall be
allocated as follows: first, for the account of the Company, all shares of
Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Company, and second, for the account of
any other stockholders of the Company participating in such registration, the
number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in the registration
by such other stockholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
respective amounts of securities that are proposed to be offered and sold by
such other stockholders of such securities at the time of filing the
registration statement.  No Registrable Securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the underwriters' marketing limitation shall be
included in such registration.

         (b)     The Company shall so advise all Holders and the other holders
distributing their securities through such underwriting of any such limitation,
and the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by Holders that may be
included in the registration.  If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any
such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the managing underwriter.  Any securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, but
the Holder shall continue to be bound by Article 8 hereof.

         (c)     The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Article 3 prior to the effectiveness of
such registration, whether or not a Holder has elected to include Registrable
Securities in such registration, without thereby incurring any liability to the
Holders of the Registrable Securities.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                            REGISTRATION ON FORM S-3

         4.1     Request for Registration.

         (a)     In addition to the rights set forth in Articles 2 and 3
hereof, if a Holder or Holders request that the Company file a registration
statement on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) for a public offering of
shares of Registrable Securities having an aggregate offering price of at least
$1,000,000 (based on the then current market price) and the Company is a
registrant entitled to use Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) to
register such shares for such an offering, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause such shares to be registered for the offering as soon as
practicable on Form S-3 (or any such successor form to Form S-3) and shall
promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders.

         (b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
obligated to take any action pursuant to this Article 4:





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12
                 (i)      in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
         would be required to execute a general consent to service of process
         in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless
         the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and
         except as may be required by the Securities Act;

                 (ii)     if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt
         of the request of the Holder or Holders, gives notice of its bona fide
         intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the
         Commission within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such request
         (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a
         Rule 145 transaction or an offering solely to employees);

                 (iii)    during the period starting with the date of filing
         of, and ending on a date which is 180 days following the effective
         date of, a registration statement described in (ii) above or filed
         pursuant to this Article 4 or Articles 2 or 3 hereof (or such shorter
         period as the managing underwriter of the Company's most recent public
         offering may agree), provided that the Company is actively employing
         in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration
         statement to become effective and provided, further, that no other
         person or entity could require the Company to file a registration
         statement in such period;

         (c)     Subject to the foregoing clauses (b) (i) through (iii), the
Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the
Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable
after receipt of the request of the Holders; provided, however, that if the
Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman or
Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed on or
before the date filing would be required, and it is therefore essential to
defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the
right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt
of the request of the Holders; provided, further, that the Company shall not be
permitted to exercise such deferral right under this Section 4.1(c) or Section
2.1(c) or 2.2(c) hereof more than once in any 365-day period.

         4.2     Underwriting.

         (a)     The distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by the
registration on Form S-3 shall be effected by means of the method of
distribution selected by the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration.  If such distribution is effected by
means of an underwriting, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to
this Article 4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting, if any, and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities
in such underwriting.

         (b)     If the distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 4.2 is effected by means of an underwriting, the Company (together
with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
a managing underwriter of nationally recognized standing selected for such
underwriting by the Company and approved by a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration on Form S-3, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   13
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, if the managing
underwriter advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the underwriters
may exclude some or all of the shares requested to be included in such
registration, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all
Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing
the registration statement.  No Registrable Securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter's marketing limitation shall
be included in such registration.

         (c)     If the distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 4.2 is effected by means of an underwriting and if any Holder of
Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such
person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the
managing underwriter and the Holders.  The Registrable Securities and/or other
securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration; provided,
however, that if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater
number of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such
registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters),
then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable
Securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable
Securities in the same proportion used in determining the underwriter
limitation in this Section 4.2.

         4.3     Inclusion of Shares by Company.  If the distribution of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 4 is effected by means of an
underwriting and if the managing underwriter has not limited the number of
Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities
for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the
managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities held
by Holders requesting registration on Form S-3 which would otherwise have been
included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
The inclusion of such shares shall be on the same terms as the registration of
shares held by the Holders requesting such registration.  In the event that the
underwriters exclude some of the securities to be registered on Form S-3, the
securities to be sold for the account of the Company and any other holders
shall be excluded in their entirety prior to the exclusion of any Registrable
Securities.

                                   ARTICLE 5
                            EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

         All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Article 2 (but only with
respect to four (4) registrations effected pursuant to such Article) and
Article 3 hereof and all S-3 Registration Expenses shall be borne by the
Company.  All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered by
the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of such Registrable Securities pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

                            REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

         (a)     In the case of each registration effected by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in
writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion
thereof.  The Company agrees to use its best efforts to effect or cause such
registration to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby
by the Holders thereof in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof described in such registration statement.  In connection
with any registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 2, 3 or
4 hereof, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably possible:

                 (i)      prepare and file with the Commission a registration
         statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best
         efforts to cause such registration statement filed to become effective
         (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or
         any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company comply with
         subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph (a)) as soon as reasonably
         possible thereafter;

                 (ii)     prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
         and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
         included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the
         effectiveness of such registration statement as may be required by the
         applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the
         instructions applicable to the form of such registration statement,
         and furnish to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered
         thereby copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to this being
         used and/or filed with the Commission; and comply with the provisions
         of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the
         Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement
         during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
         disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration
         statement;

                 (iii)    provide (A) the Holders of the Registrable Securities
         to be included in such registration statement, (B) the underwriters
         (which term, for purposes of this Agreement, shall include a person
         deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
         Securities Act), if any, thereof, (C) the sales or placement agent, if
         any, therefor, (D) one counsel for such underwriters or agent, and (E)
         not more than one counsel for all the Holders of such Registrable
         Securities, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such
         registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with
         the Commission, and each amendment or supplement thereto;

                 (iv)     for a reasonable period prior to the filing of such
         registration statement, and throughout the period specified above,
         make available for inspection by the parties referred to in Section
         6(a)(iii) above such financial and other information and books and
         records of the Company, and cause the officers, directors, employees,
         counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company to
         respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the
         judgment of the respective counsel referred to in such Section
         6(a)(iii), to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of
         the Securities Act; provided, however, that each such party shall be
         required to maintain in





                                      -13-
<PAGE>   15
         confidence and not disclose to any other person or entity any
         information or records reasonably designated by the Company in writing
         as being confidential, until such time as (a) such information becomes
         a matter of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such
         registration statement or otherwise), or (b) such party shall be
         required so to disclose such information pursuant to the subpoena or
         order of any court or other governmental agency or body having
         jurisdiction over the matter, or (c) such information is required to
         be set forth in such registration statement or the prospectus included
         therein or in an amendment to such registration statement or an
         amendment or supplement to such prospectus in order that such
         registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement, as the
         case may be, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact
         or omit to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
         or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and
         provided, further, that the Company need not make such information
         available, nor need it cause any officer, director or employee to
         respond to such inquiry, unless each such Holder of Registrable
         Securities to be included in a registration statement hereunder and
         such counsel, upon the Company's request, execute and deliver to the
         Company an undertaking to substantially the same effect contained in
         the second preceding proviso;

                 (v)      promptly notify the Holders of Registrable Securities
         to be included in a registration statement hereunder, the sales or
         placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriter of the
         securities being sold and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when
         such registration statement or the prospectus included therein or any
         prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment has
         been filed, and, with respect to such registration statement or any
         post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of
         any comments by the Commission and by the blue sky or securities
         commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto or any
         request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to such
         registration statement or the prospectus or for additional
         information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
         suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the
         initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by
         the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
         qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
         jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
         such purpose, or (E) if it shall be the case, at any time when a
         prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, that
         such registration statement, prospectus, or any document incorporated
         by reference, in any of the foregoing contains an untrue statement of
         a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

                 (vi)     use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
         order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or
         any post-effective amendment thereto or of any order suspending or
         preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the
         qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such
         registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest
         practicable date;

                 (vii)    if requested by any managing underwriter or
         underwriter, any placement or sales agent or any Holder of Registrable
         Securities to be included in a registration statement, promptly
         incorporate in a prospectus, prospectus supplement or post-effective






                                      -14-
<PAGE>   16
         amendment such information as is required by the applicable rules and
         regulations of the Commission and as such managing underwriter or
         underwriters, such agent or such Holder may reasonably specify should
         be included therein relating to the terms of the sale of the
         Registrable Securities included thereunder, including, without
         limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable
         Securities being sold by such Holder or agent or to such underwriters,
         the name and description of such Holder, the offering price of such
         Registrable Securities and any discount, commission or other
         compensation payable in respect thereof, the purchase price being paid
         therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of
         the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such
         offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus; prospectus
         supplement or post-effective amendment promptly after notification of
         the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus, prospectus
         supplement or post-effective amendment;

                 (viii)   furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities to
         be included in such registration statement hereunder, each placement
         or sales agent, if any, therefor, each underwriter, if any, thereof
         and the counsel referred to in Section 6(a)(iii) an executed copy of
         such registration statement, each such amendment and supplement
         thereto (in each case excluding all exhibits and documents
         incorporated by reference) and such number of copies of the
         registration statement (excluding exhibits thereto and documents
         incorporated by reference therein unless specifically so requested by
         such holder, agent or underwriter, as the case may be) and of the
         prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
         preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with
         the requirements of the Securities Act, as such Holder, agent, if any,
         and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate
         the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder
         sold by such agent or underwritten by such underwriter and to permit
         such Holder, agent and underwriter to satisfy the prospectus delivery
         requirements of the Securities Act; and the Company hereby consents to
         the use of such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by
         each such Holder and by any such agent and underwriter, in each case
         in the form most recently provided to such party by the Company, in
         connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
         covered by the prospectus (including such preliminary and summary
         prospectus) or any supplement or amendment thereto or of the issuance
         by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
         such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for
         that purpose;

                 (ix)     use its best efforts to (A) register or qualify the
         Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement
         under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of such
         jurisdictions to be designated by the Holders of a majority of such
         Registrable Securities participating in such registration and each
         placement or sales agent, if any, therefor and underwriter, if any,
         thereof, as any Holder and each underwriter, if any, of the securities
         being sold shall reasonably request, (B) keep such registrations or
         qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to permit the
         continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in such
         jurisdictions for so long as may be necessary to enable such Holder,
         agent or underwriter to complete its distribution of the Registrable
         Securities pursuant to such registration statement and (C) take any
         and all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
         enable such Holder, agent, if





                                      -15-
<PAGE>   17
         any, and underwriter to consummate the disposition in such
         jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that
         the Company shall not be required for any such purpose to (1) take any
         action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance in
         any particular jurisdiction in which it would not otherwise be
         required to execute a general consent to service of process in
         effectuating such registration, qualification or compliance, but for
         the requirements of this Section 6(a)(ix), or (2) subject itself to
         taxation in any such jurisdiction;

                 (x)      cooperate with the Holders of the Registrable
         Securities to be included in a registration statement hereunder and
         the managing underwriters to facilitate the timely preparation and
         delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be
         sold, which certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved,
         or produced by any combination of such methods, on steel engraved
         borders and which shall not bear any restrictive legends; and enable
         such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered
         in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least two
         business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities;

                 (xi)     provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable

         engagement letters, agency agreements, "best efforts" underwriting

         actions in connection therewith as the Holders of at least a majority
         of the Registrable Securities being sold shall reasonably request in
         order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
         Securities;

                 (xiii)   whether or not an agreement of the type referred to

         amendment to such registration statement which includes unaudited or
         audited financial statements as of a date or for a period subsequent

         relating thereto), such letter or letters to be in customary form and
         covering such matters of the type customarily covered by letters of
         such type; (D) deliver such documents and certificates, including
         officers' certificates, as may be reasonably requested by Holders of
         at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold and the
         placement or sales agent, if any, therefor and the managing
         underwriters, if any, thereof to evidence the accuracy of the
         representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (A) above and
         the compliance with or satisfaction of any agreements or conditions
         contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered
         into by the Company; and (E) undertake such obligations relating to
         expense reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as are
         provided in Sections 5 and 7 hereof;

                 (xiv)    notify in writing each Holder of Registrable
         Securities of any proposal by the Company to amend or waive any
         provision of this Agreement and of any amendment or waiver effected
         pursuant thereto, each of which notices shall contain the text of the
         amendment or waiver proposed or effected, as the case may be;

                 (xv)     engage to act on behalf of the Company with respect
         to the Registrable Securities to be so registered a registrar and
         transfer agent having such duties and





                                      -17-
<PAGE>   19
         responsibilities (including, without limitation, registration of
         transfers and maintenance of stock registers) as are customarily
         discharged by such an agent, and to enter into such agreements and to
         offer such indemnities as are customary in respect thereof;

                 (xvi)    otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
         applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available
         to its Holders, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later
         than 18 months after the effective date of such registration
         statement, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve
         months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 6(a) of the
         Securities Act (including, at the option of the Company, pursuant to
         Rule 158 thereunder); and

                 (xvii)   cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on
         each securities exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq
         Market") on which similar securities issued by the Company are then
         listed and, if not so listed, to be listed and, if listed on the
         Nasdaq Market, use its best efforts to secure designation of all such
         Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement as a
         Nasdaq "National Market System Security" within the meaning of Rule
         11Aa2-1 of the Commission or, failing that, to secure Nasdaq Market
         authorization for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting
         the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market
         makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities
         with the National Association of Securities Dealers.

         (b)     In the event that the Company would be required, pursuant to
Section 6(a)(v)(F) above, to notify the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in a registration statement hereunder, the sales or placement agent,
if any, and the managing underwriters, if any, of the securities being sold,
the Company shall prepare and furnish to each such Holder, to each such agent,
if any, and to each underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a
prospectus supplement or amendment so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an
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 not misleading
in light of the circumstances then existing.  Each Holder agrees that upon
receipt of any notice from the Company pursuant to Section 6(a)(v)(F) hereof,
such Holder shall forthwith discontinue the distribution of Registrable
Securities until such Holder shall have received copies of such amended or
supplemented registration statement or prospectus, and if so directed by the
Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession
of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt
of such notice.

         (c)     The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder and such Holder's method of distribution of
such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request in writing but only to the extent that such information is required in
order to comply with the Securities Act.  Each such Holder agrees to notify the
Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information
previously furnished by such Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any
event in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such
registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact
regarding such Holder or the distribution of such Registrable





                                      -18-
<PAGE>   20
Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Holder or the
distribution of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Company any
additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished
information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect
to such Holder or the distribution of such Registrable Securities, an 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 not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                INDEMNIFICATION

         7.1     The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers
and directors and partners, and such Holder's legal counsel and independent
accountants, if any, and each person controlling any such persons within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration
of any of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act has been effected
pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who
controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of
any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration of any of
the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act which has been effected
pursuant to this Agreement, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or
any state securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or
inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification
or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and
directors and partners and such Holder's legal counsel and independent
accountants, and each person controlling any such persons, each such
underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal
and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or
is based on any untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission), made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and
expressly intended for use in such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereof.

         7.2     Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such
Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being
effected, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
each of its directors and officers, its legal counsel and independent
accountants, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by
such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each
other such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel and
independent accountants, if any, and each person controlling such






                                      -19-
<PAGE>   21
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all
expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or person
who controls the Company or such underwriter or such legal counsel and
independent accountants, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation,
commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or
compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such
directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, independent accountants,
underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular, other document or amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Holder and expressly intended for use in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or
supplement thereof; provided, however, that the obligations of each Holder
hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such Holder of
Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein.

         7.3     Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7
(the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified
Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought,
and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim
or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld).  The Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party
shall bear the expense of such defense of the Indemnified Party if
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due
to actual or potential conflicts of interest.  The failure of any Indemnified
Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is
prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the action.  No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation.

         7.4     If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1 or 7.2 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each
Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to in
Section 7.1 or 7.2, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable
Securities on the other hand in connection with statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions





                                      -20-
<PAGE>   22
or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the sellers of Registrable
Securities and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The
Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 7.4 were to be determined by pro rata
allocation (even if all Sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence
of this Section 7.4.  The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of
the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings
in respect thereof) referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7.4 shall
be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any claim,
action or proceeding which is the subject of this Section 7.4. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The obligations of sellers of
Registrable Securities to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be
several in proportion to the respective amount of Registrable Securities sold
by them pursuant to a registration statement.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                               RULE 144 REPORTING

         With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and
regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of
securities of the Company to the public without registration, after such time
as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company
agrees to:

         8.1     Make and keep public information available as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar or
analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act) at all times after the
effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the
Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; and

         8.2     File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements) and make available the benefits of Rule 144; and

         8.3     So long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish
to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time
after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general
public), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has
become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company filed by the Company, and such other
reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in
availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell
any such securities without registration.

with any permitted transfer or assignment of the Holder's Registrable
Securities.  All transferees and assignees of the rights to cause the Company

prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company providing for the grant to
such holder of registration rights superior to, or pari passu with, those
granted herein.  Any additional parties shall execute a counterpart of this
Agreement, and upon execution by such additional parties and by the Company,
shall be considered Holders for purposes of this Agreement, and shall be added
to the Schedule of Registration Rights Holders.

         10.2    In connection with the grant of registration rights to the
holders of the Series C Stock pursuant to this Agreement, each of Sandler,
Bechtel, Highland, Oak and the Other Investors agree and consent to waive the
provisions of Article 10 relating to limitations on registration rights granted
to other securities holders set forth in the Amended and Restated Registration
Rights Agreement.
