2.   Restrictions on Transfer.

     2.1  Transfer Only Under These Conditions.  Each Holder agrees not to make
any disposition of all or any portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the
Company to be bound by this Section 2, provided and to the extent such Section
is then applicable and:

          2.1.1  Unless Registration Statement Then Effective.  There is then in
     effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
     proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
     registration statement; or

          2.1.2  Unless Exemption Exists.  (i) Such Holder shall have notified
     the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the
     Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the
     proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such
     Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel,
     reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not
     require Registration of such shares under the Securities Act.  It is agreed
     that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made
     pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

          2.1.3  Unless Affiliated Transaction.  Notwithstanding the provisions
     of paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 above, no such registration statement or
     opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is
     (i) a partnership to its partners or former partners in accordance with
     partnership interests, (ii) a corporation to its shareholders in accordance
     with their interest in the corporation or to an entity directly or
     indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such
     corporation, (iii) a limited liability company to its members in accordance
     with their membership interests, (iv) an individual Holder to a family
     member of such Holder or to a trust for the benefit of such Holder or (v) a
     partnership or limited liability company affiliated with and/or managed by
     the transferee or the same manager who manages the transferee, provided the
     transferee will be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1 to the same
     extent as if such transferee were an original Holder hereunder.

                                     Page 3

          2.1.4  Legend.  Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable
     Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this
     Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially
     similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under
     applicable state securities laws or as provided elsewhere in this
     Agreement):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE
OPINION OF COUNSEL OR BASED ON OTHER WRITTEN EVIDENCE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

     2.2  Removal of '33 Act Legend.  The Company shall be obligated to reissue
promptly unlegended certificates at the request of any holder thereof if the
holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may
lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification or legend.

     2.3  Removal of Blue Sky Legends.  Any legend endorsed on an instrument
pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions
with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of
an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.

3.   Registration Rights.

     3.1  Demand Registration.

          3.1.1  Obligation to Register.  Subject to the conditions of this
     Section 3.1, if the Company shall receive at any time a written request
     from the Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable
     Securities then outstanding (the "Initiating Holders") that the Company
     file a registration statement under the Securities Act having an aggregate
     offering price to the public in excess of $10,000,000 (excluding
     underwriting discounts and commissions), then the Company shall, within
     thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such
     request to all Holders and subject to the limitations of this Section 3.1,
     shall use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the
     registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that
     the Holders request to be registered.

          3.1.2  Underwritten Demand Offerings.  If the Initiating Holders
     intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by
     means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of
     their request made pursuant to this Section 3.1 and the Company shall
     include such information in the written notice referred to in Section
     3.1.1.  In such event, the right of any Holder to include his Registrable
     Securities in

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

     such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in
     such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities
     in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in
     interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided
     herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
     underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
     with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a
     majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or
     underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company).
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.1, if the underwriter
     advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation
     of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable
     Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders which would
     otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that
     may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders on a
     pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all
     such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities
     excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the
     registration.

          3.1.3  Limits on Obligation.  The Company shall not be required to
     effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3.1:

                 (a) Earliest Allowed Demand. prior to the earlier of (i)
            January 1, 2002; or (ii) the date one hundred eighty (180) days
            following the Initial Offering of the Company's Common Stock; or

                 (b) Maximum Limits.  after the Company has effected two (2)
            registrations pursuant to this Section 3. 1 and such registrations
            have been declared or ordered effective; or

                 (c) Upcoming Company Registration. during the period starting
            with the date 30 days prior to the Company's good faith estimated
            date of filing of, and ending on the date 120 days following the
            effective date of, a registration statement pertaining to an
            offering of securities for the account of the Company, provided the
            Company is at all times during such period diligently pursuing such
            registration provided, however, that this right to delay any
            requested registration shall not be utilized more than once in any
            12 month period; or

                 (d) Company Deferral. if the Company shall furnish to Holders
            requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.1, a
            certificate signed by the President 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 seriously detrimental to the
            Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be
            filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
            registration statement, in which event the Company shall have the
            right to defer initiation of the offering process for a single
            period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the

                                     Page 5
<PAGE>

          request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay
          a request shall be exercised by the Company no more than twice in
          any one-year period.

     3.2  Piggyback Registrations.  The Company shall notify all Holders in
writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration
statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of
securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration
statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but
excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit plans and
corporate reorganizations) and will use its best efforts to afford each such
Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of
such Registrable Securities held by such Holder.  Each Holder desiring to
include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the
above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing.  Such
notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities by such Holder.  If a Holder decides not to include all of its
Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the
Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include
any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or
registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings
of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

          3.2.1  Underwritten Offerings, Cutback.  If the registration statement
     under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3.2 is for an
     underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders.  In such
     event, the right of any Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to
     this Section 3.2 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.  All Holders proposing
     to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall
     enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter
     or underwriters selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other
     provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith
     that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of Registrable
     Securities to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities that
     may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced among the Holders on a
     pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by
     the Holders, provided no such reduction shall reduce to less than 25% of
     any offering the number of shares of the Holders requested to be
     registered.  In no event will shares of any other selling shareholder be
     included in such registration which would reduce the number of Registrable
     Securities which may be included by Holders without the written consent of
     Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed
     to be sold in the offering.

          3.2.2  Company's Right to Terminate.  The Company shall have the right
     to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
     Section 3.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not
     any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.  The
     Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the
     Company in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

     3.3  Form S-3 Registration.  In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-
form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders the Company will:

          3.3.1  Notice.  promptly give written notice of the proposed
     registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other
     Holders; and

          3.3.2  Inclusion of Offered Shares.  as soon as practicable, effect
     such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so
     requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of
     all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as
     are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the
     Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such
     request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15)
     days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided,
     however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
     registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.3:

                 (a) Unless S-3 not available. if Form S-3 (or such successor or
            similar form) is not available for such offering by the Holders; or

                 (b) Unless total offered stock less than threshold. if the
            Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the
            Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell
            Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an
            aggregate offering price to the public of less than $1,000,000; or

                 (c) Unless for Company Deferral. if the Company shall furnish
            to the Holders a certificate signed by the President 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
            seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such
            Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event
            the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
            registration statement for a single period of not more than ninety
            (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders
            under this Section 3.3 and provided that such right to delay a
            request shall be exercised by the Company no more than twice in any
            one-year period; or

                 (d) Unless within 180 Days of Offering. during the period
            starting with the date of filing of, and ending on the date one
            hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of any
            registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities
            Act; or

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

               (e) One per 12 Months Limit. if the Company has already
          effected one (1) registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant
          to this Section 3.3 within the previous 12 months.

          3.3.3  Prompt filing.  Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall
     file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities
     and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable
     after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders.

     3.4  Expenses of Registration.  All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
Section 3.1 or any registration under Section 3.2 or 3.3 herein shall be borne
by the Company.  All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any
registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so
registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.  The
Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3, the request of which has been
subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is
based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the
Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders
of a majority of Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
requested registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.3 (in which event such right
shall be forfeited by all Holders).  If the Holders are required to pay the
Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities
(including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to
the number of shares for which registration was requested.

     3.5  Obligations of the Company.  Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best
efforts, as expeditiously and as reasonably possible, to:

          3.5.1  File And Keep Registration Statement Effective. Prepare and
     file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
     Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
     become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the
     Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration
     statement effective for up to one hundred eighty (180) days or, if earlier,
     until the Holders have completed the distribution related thereto.

          3.5.2  Update as Law Requires.  Prepare and file with the SEC such
     amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
     prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
     necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
     to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
     statement.

          3.5.3  Supply Prospectus.  Furnish to the Holders such number of
     copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity
     with the requirements of the

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>

     Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in
     order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by
     them.

          3.5.4  Blue Sky, within limits.  Use its best efforts to register and
     qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such
     other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be
     reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be
     required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do
     business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such
     states or jurisdictions.

          3.5.5  Enter Underwriting Agreement.  In the event of any underwritten
     public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an
     underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing
     underwriter(s) of such offering.  Each Holder participating in such
     underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such
     an agreement.

          3.5.6  Keep Holders Updated for Compliance.  Notify each Holder of
     securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a
     prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
     Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the
     prospectus included in such 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
     existing.

          3.5.7 Opinion and Comfort Letters. Furnish, at the request of a
     majority of the Holders participating in the registration, on the date that
     such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if
     such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities
     are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration
     statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an
     opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
     purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily
     given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably
     satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
     registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders
     requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated
     as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
     Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
     certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public
     offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the
     Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and
     if permitted by applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting
     registration of Registrable Securities.

     3.6 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted
under this Section 3 shall terminate and be of no

                                     Page 9
<PAGE>

further force and effect ten (10) years after the Initial Offering, provided,
however, that registration rights granted under this Section 3 shall terminate
and be of no further force and effect as to each individual Holder (or
transferee holding registration rights hereunder) prior to ten (10) years after
the closing of the Initial Offering if such Holder and its affiliates or
transferee and its affiliates can either (i) sell all of its Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act within any calendar
quarter or (ii) sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144K of the
Securities Act.

     3.7  Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.

          3.7.1 No Injunctions. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek
     an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
     the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
     interpretation or implementation of this Section 3.

          3.7.2 Holders' Data Conditions Precedent. It shall be a condition
     precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to
     Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the
     Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities
     held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
     shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable
     Securities.

     3.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a registration statement under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3:

         3.8.1 Company Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the
     Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners,
     officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the
     Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such
     Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act"), against any
     losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they
     may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal
     or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
     actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
     following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation")
     by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
     material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
     preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
     amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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, or (iii) any violation or
     alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any
     state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
     Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with
     the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will
     reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or
     controlling person for any legal or other expenses as reasonably incurred
     by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
     damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement
     contained in this Section 3.8.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in
     settlement of any such loss,

                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

     claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
     the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
     withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such
     loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out
     of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
     conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
     connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer,
     director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

          3.8.2 Holder Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, each
     selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its
     directors, each of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the
     Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any
     other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of
     such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any person who
     controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
     joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer,
     controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director,
     officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under
     the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as
     such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
     arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent
     (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
     conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an
     instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for
     use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will
     reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
     any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other
     Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other
     Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
     damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
     agreement contained in this Section 3.8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid
     in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
     settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder, which consent
     shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event
     shall any indemnity under this Section 3.8 exceed the net proceeds from the
     offering received by such Holder.

          3.8.3  Procedure on Indemnification Claims.  Promptly after receipt by
     an indemnified party under this Section 3.8 of notice of the commencement
     of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party
     will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
     party under this Section 3.8, 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 the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
     indemnifying and indemnified parties; provided, however, that an
     indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the
     fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation
     of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
     would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
     between such indemnified party and any other

                                    Page 11
<PAGE>

     party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to
     deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time
     of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its
     ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any
     liability to the indemnified party under this Section 3.8, but the omission
     so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it
     of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
     under this Section 3.8.

          3.8.4  Alternate Remedies.  If the indemnification provided for in
     this Section 3.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
     unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims,
     damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu
     of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall to the extent
     permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by
     such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability
     in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
     indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the
     other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss,
     claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
     considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
     indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to,
     among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
     material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
     information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
     and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
     opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          3.8.5  Indemnification Obligations Survive.  The obligations of the
     Company and Holders under this Section 3.8 shall survive the completion of
     any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and
     otherwise.

          3.8.6  Limits on Settlement Obligation.  No Holder shall be obligated
     to consent to any settlement of any claim entered into by the Company in
     satisfaction of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless the
     settlement includes a full and complete release of the Holder.

     3.9  Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 may be assigned by a
Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities who (i) is a
subsidiary, affiliate, parent, general partner, limited partner or retired
partner of a Holder or affiliated partnership managed by the Holder, (ii) is a
Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, (iii)
is a Holder prior to the transfer, or (iv) acquires either (x) at least five
hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) subject to
Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3; or (y) at least one hundred
twenty-five thousand (125,000) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series D
Preferred Stock or Series D-X Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof) subject to Registration Rights pursuant to this Section 3
(as adjusted for stock splits and combinations); provided, however, (a) the
transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the
Company written notice of

                                    Page 12
<PAGE>

the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (b) such
transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to all restrictions set forth in
this Agreement.

     3.10  Amendment of Registration Rights.  Any provision of this Section 3
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 Holders of not less than sixty percent
(60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.  Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 3.10 shall be binding upon each Holder
and the Company.  By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 3, Holders
hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.

     3.11  Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights.  The Company shall
grant no additional parties registration rights on parity with or superior to
those granted the Holders hereunder, without the written consent of the Company
and the Holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding.

     3.12  "Market Stand-Off" Agreement.  If requested by the Company or a
representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company acting reasonably, each Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such
Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by
the representative of the underwriters, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company
filed under the Securities Act (the "Effective Date").  The foregoing commitment
has two limitations: (i) no Holder shall be required to refrain from selling
under this paragraph, unless all officers and key employees of the Company enter
into similar agreements; and (ii) no Holder (including for this purpose
affiliates of any Holder) shall be required to refrain from selling under this
paragraph unless all other holders of the Company's Common Stock owning an equal
or a larger percentage of the Company's Common Stock (on an as-converted basis)
as the Holder and its affiliates are also required by a representative of the
underwriter to enter into market standoff agreements on the same terms.

     The obligations described in this Section 3.12 shall not apply to a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8
or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration
relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar
forms that may be promulgated in the future.  The Company may impose stop-
transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one
hundred eighty (180) day period.

     3.13  Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its good faith efforts to:

                                    Page 13
<PAGE>

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

           3.13.2  File '33 and '34 Act Reports Timely.  File with the SEC, in a
     timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company
     under the Securities Act and the 1934 Act;

           3.13.3  Data to Holders.  So long as a Holder owns any Registrable
     Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon written request: a
     written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
     requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the 1934 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; and such
     other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing
     itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such
     securities without registration.

4.   Covenants of the Company.

     of cash flows of the Company, for such year, all prepared in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles and setting forth in each
     case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, and for
     the operating plan for the year as to which the financial statements
     pertain, all in reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be
     audited by an independent public accounting firm selected by the Company's
     Board of Directors.

     Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series D-X

     Business Investment Companies ("SBIC Investors") shall be used by the
     Company for its growth, modernization, or expansion. The Company shall
     provide each SBIC Investor and the Small Business Administration (the
     "SBA") reasonable access to the Company's books and records for the purpose
     of confirming use of Proceeds from SBIC Investors.

          4.2.2 Business Activity. For a period of one year following the
     initial Closing under the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Company shall

     ineligible as provided in 13 CFR Section 107.720.

          4.2.3 Compliance. So long as any SBIC Investor holds any securities of
     the Company, the Company will at all times comply with the non-

          4.2.4 Information for SBIC Investor. Within 45 days after the end of
     each fiscal year and at such other times as an SBIC Investor may reasonably
     request, the Company shall deliver to such SBIC Investor a written
     assessment, in form and substance satisfactory to such SBIC Investor, of
     the economic impact of such SBIC Investor's financing specifying the full
     time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with such
     investment, and the impact of the financing on the Company's business in
     terms of profits and on taxes paid by the Company and its employees. Upon
     request, the Company agrees to promptly provide each SBIC Investor with
     sufficient information to permit such Investor to comply with its
     obligations under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended,
     and the

                                    Page 15

     the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, or Chief
     Financial Officer.

          4.2.5 Compliance with 1202. The Company will use reasonable efforts to
     comply with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Section 1202(c)
     f of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any
     regulations promulgated thereunder, and unless by vote of the Board of
     Directors including the Series B Preferred Stock Director (as defined in
     the Third Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company) will not
     repurchase any stock of the Company if such purchase would cause the
     Registrable Securities not to qualify as "Qualified Small Business Stock"
     as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code.

          4.2.6 Number of Holders of Voting Securities. So long as any SBIC
     Investor holds any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series D-X Preferred Stock or securities
     issued by the Company with respect thereto, the Company shall use good
     faith efforts to notify each SBIC Investor (i) at least 15 days prior to
     taking any action after which the number of record holders of the Company's
     voting securities would be increased from fewer than 50 to 50 or more, and
     (ii) of any other action or occurrence after which the number of record
     holders of the Company's voting securities was increased (or would
     increase) from fewer than 50 to 50 or more, as soon as practicable after
     the Company becomes aware that such other action or occurrence has occurred
     or is proposed to occur.

     4.3 Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors
for particular individuals, shares and options issued under the Company's Stock
Incentive Plan shall vest 25 percent after 12 months from issuance, and monthly
at the rate of 1/48th of the total grant per month thereafter over the remaining
36-month period. Such shares will have restrictions on transfer prior to
vesting, and thereafter the Company shall have the right of first refusal to
purchase, such right to terminate on the Initial Offering or on such other terms
as the Board may determine.

     4.4 Termination of Covenants. All covenants of the Company contained in
Section 4 of this Agreement shall expire and terminate as to each Preferred
Holder on the closing of a Designated IPO.

     4.5  Reserve for Conversion Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Shares and otherwise
complying with the terms of this Agreement, such number of its duly authorized
shares of common stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of the
Shares from time to time outstanding or otherwise to comply with the terms of
this Agreement.  If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of
common stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Shares or
otherwise to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Company will forthwith
take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized

                                    Page 16
<PAGE>

but unissued shares of common stock to such number of shares as shall be
sufficient for such purposes. The Company will obtain any authorization,
consent, approval or other action by or make any filing with any court or
administrative body that may be required under applicable state securities laws
in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the
Shares.

     4.6  Corporate Existence.  The Company shall maintain and cause each of its
subsidiaries (if any) to maintain, their respective corporate existence, rights
and franchises in full force and effect.

properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, examine their books and take
copies and extracts therefrom, discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries with their officers, employees and public
accountants (and the Company hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with
such Holder and such designees such affairs, finances and accounts), and consult
with and advise the management of the Company and its subsidiaries as to their
affairs, finances and accounts, all at reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice.

     4.8  Restrictive Agreements Prohibited.  Neither the Company nor any of its

the Related Agreements (as defined in the Series D-X Purchase Agreement) except
for standard commercial lending agreements as approved by the Board of Directors

reimburse in full in accordance with payment policies consistent with this
Section 4.9 established by the Board of Directors, each director of the Company

Series D Holder and Series D-X Holder agrees to use its respective best efforts
not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties.  Each Series
B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder and Series D-X Holder shall undertake
to treat such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the treatment
of its own information of such proprietary nature and agrees that it shall
protect the confidentiality of and use reasonable best efforts to prevent

public domain or the possession of unauthorized persons.  Each transferee of any
Series B Holder, Series C Holder,  Series D Holder or Series D-X Holder who
receives Confidential Information shall agree to be bound by such provisions.
For purposes of this Section 5, "Confidential Information" means any

possession at the time of disclosure as shown by such Series B Holder's, Series
C Holder's, Series D Holder's or Series D-X Holder's files and records
immediately prior to the time of disclosure; (ii) before or after it has been
disclosed to the Series B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder or Series D-X
Holder, is part of the public knowledge or literature, not as a result of any
action or inaction of the Series B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder or
Series D-X Holder; or (iii) is approved for release by written authorization of
Company.  The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply (A) to the extent
that a Series B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder or Series D-X Holder is
required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to any law, statute, rule
or regulation or any order of any court or jurisdiction process or pursuant to
any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law
but if not having the force of law being of a type with which institutional
investors in the relevant jurisdiction are accustomed to comply) of any self-
regulating organization or any governmental, fiscal, monetary or other
authority; (B) to the disclosure of Confidential Information to a Series B
Holder's, Series C Holder's, Series D Holder's or Series D-X Holder's employees,
counsel, accountants or other professional advisors; (C) to the extent that a
Series B Holder, Series C Holder, Series D Holder or Series D-X Holder needs to
disclose Confidential Information for the protection of any such Series B
Holder's, Series C Holder's, Series D Holder's or Series D-X Holder's rights or
interest against the Company, whether under this Agreement or otherwise; or (D)
to the disclosure of Confidential Information to a prospective transferee of
securities which agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5 in

     6.2  Survival.  The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements
