                              REGISTRATION RIGHTS

      2.1   DEMAND REGISTRATION.

            2.1.1 At any time and from time to time (but in no event before May
      31, 1998), a holder or holders of Registrable Securities holding in the
      aggregate at least 10% of the then existing Registrable Securities may
      make a one-time written demand upon the Company, to file, within 60 days
      after such written demand is made, with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission a shelf registration statement covering the resale of all of
      the Registrable Securities on Form S-1, S-2 or S-3 (the "Registration
      Statement"). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
      such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable and
      to cause all of the Registrable Securities to be qualified in such state
      jurisdictions as the holders may request.

            2.1.2 Except as set forth herein, the Company shall take all
      reasonable steps necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and
      effective until the lesser of: (i) two years and (ii) until the
      Registrable Securities are transferable pursuant to Rule 144 under the
      Securities Act without the volume limitations set forth in such rule.

            2.1.3 The Company shall be entitled to require that a holder or
      holders of Registrable Securities refrain from effecting any public sales
      or distributions of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
      Statement that has been declared effective by the Commission or otherwise,
      if the board of directors of the Company reasonably determines that such
      public sales or distributions would interfere in any material respect with
      any transaction involving the Company that the board of directors
      reasonably determines to be material to the Company. The board of
      directors shall, as promptly as practicable, give the holders of the
      Registrable Securities written notice of any such development. In the
      event of a request by the board of directors of the Company that the
      holders of Registrable Securities refrain from effecting any public sales
      or distributions of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall be
      required to lift such restrictions regarding

                                     -2-

      effecting public sales or distributions of the Registrable Securities as
      soon as reasonably practicable after the board of directors shall
      reasonably determine public sales or distributions by the holders of the
      Registrable Securities shall not interfere with such transaction,
      PROVIDED, that in no event shall any requirement that the holders of
      Registrable Securities refrain from effecting public sales or
      distributions in the Registrable Securities extend for more than 90 days.

            2.1.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the one-time demand
      registration rights provided in this Section 2.1 shall be subject to the
      following additional limitations:

                  (i) Company shall not be obligated to file such Registration
            Statement on a Form S-2 or S-3 if it does not then meet the
            requirements (including the financial statement requirements) of
            such Form, and if the Company is required to file a Form S-1, it
            should not be obligated to file the Form S-1 until it shall have
            prepared current financial statements as required by Form S-1;

                  (ii) If, upon receipt of any request for registration of
            Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company is
            then engaged by a reputable and nationally or regionally recognized
            investment banking firm regarding a good faith proposed registered
            public offering of shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall
            give notice of such negotiations to all holders of Registrable
            Securities within 15 days of the date upon which the Company
            received such holder's request and the Company shall not, for 60
            days after giving such notice to such holders, be required to
            undertake a required registration of the Registrable Securities
            pursuant to this Section 2.1 in response to such holder's request;
            provided, however, that if such registration statement of such
            proposed public offering is not filed within 60 days after the
            Company gives such notice to holders of the Registrable Securities,
            the Company shall respond to the holder's request for registration
            of Registrable Securities and, unless otherwise required by the
            provisions of this Section 2.1, register such Registrable
            Securities, no later than 20 days after the expiration of such
            60-day period and as provided herein.

      2.2   PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.

            2.2.1 Subject to the terms hereof, if at any time or from time to
      time (but in no event before May 31, 1998) the Company or any shareholder
      of the Company shall determine to register any of its securities (except
      for registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or exchange
      offers), either for its own account or the account of a security holder,
      the Company will promptly give to the holders of Registrable Securities
      written notice thereof no less the 30 days prior to the filing of any
      registration statement; and include in such registration (and any related
      qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in the
      underwriting involved therein, if any, such Registrable Securities as such
      holders may request in a writing delivered to the Company within 20 days
      after the holders' receipt of Company's written notice.

            2.2.2 The holders of Registrable Securities may participate in any
      number of registrations until all of the Shares held by holders of
      Registrable Securities have been registered or until the Shares are
      transferable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

                                     -3-

            2.2.3 If any registration statement is an Underwritten Public
      Offering, the right of holders of Registrable Securities to registration
      pursuant to this Section shall be conditioned upon each such holder's
      participation in such reasonable underwriting arrangements as the Company
      shall make regarding the offering, and the inclusion of Registrable
      Securities in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided
      herein. Holders of Registrable Securities and all other shareholders
      proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
      (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their
      securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement
      in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such
      underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
      Section, if the managing underwriter concludes in its reasonable judgment
      that the number of shares to be registered for selling shareholders
      (including the holders of Registrable Securities) would materially
      adversely effect such offering, the number of Shares to be registered,
      together with the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities
      held by other shareholders proposed to be registered in such offering,
      shall be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the number of Shares
      proposed to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities as compared
      to the number of shares proposed to be sold by all shareholders, except to
      the extent there may be a conflict with the rights set forth in that
      certain Registration Rights Agreement dated March 29, 1996 between the
      Company and those certain purchasers therein. If any holder of Registrable
      Securities disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect
      to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
      underwriter, delivered not less than 10 days before the effective date.
      The Registrable Securities excluded by the managing underwriter or
      withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such
      registration, and shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior
      to 120 days after the effective date of the registration statement
      relating thereto, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters
      may require.

            2.2.4 The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any
      registration initiated by it under this Section prior to the effectiveness
      of such registration whether or not the holders of Registrable Securities
      have elected to include securities in such registration.

      2.3 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by
the Company. Unless otherwise stated herein, all Selling Expenses relating to
securities registered on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities shall
be borne by the holders of Registrable Securities.

      2.4   [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

      2.5 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will keep the holders of Registrable
Securities advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration,
qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. At its expense,
the Company will:

            2.5.1 Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
      with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable
      efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain
      effective until the distribution described in such registration statement
      has been completed;

            2.5.2 Furnish to each underwriter such number of copies of a
      prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
      requirements of the Securities Act, and such other

                                     -4-

      documents as such underwriter may reasonably request in order to
      facilitate the public sale of the shares by such underwriter, and promptly
      furnish to each underwriter and the holders of Registrable Securities
      notice of any stop-order or similar notice issued by the Commission or any
      state agency charged with the regulation of securities, and notice of any
      Nasdaq or securities exchange listing; and

            2.5.3 Cause the Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq small-cap market
      or a securities exchange on which the Common Stock is approved for
      listing.

      2.6   INDEMNIFICATION.

            2.6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
      each holder of Registrable Securities, each of its officers and directors
      and partners, and each person controlling such holder within the meaning
      of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration,
      qualification or compliance 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 or liabilities (or actions in respect
      thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any
      litigation, commenced or threatened, to the extent such expenses, claims,
      losses, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based on any untrue
      statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in
      any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other similar
      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, in light of the
      circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by
      the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated
      under the Securities Act applicable to the Company in connection with any
      such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will
      reimburse each holder of Registrable Securities, each of its officers and
      directors and partners, and each person controlling each holder of
      Registrable Securities, 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
      indemnity contained herein shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
      of any claim, loss, damage, liability or expense if settlement is effected
      without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably
      be withheld); provided, further, 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, made in reliance upon and in
      conformity with written information furnished to the Company by a holder
      of Registrable Securities, such controlling person or such underwriter
      specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity
      contained herein shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
      claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense if settlement is effected
      without the consent of such holder of Registrable Securities (which
      consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, insofar as the foregoing indemnity relates to any such untrue
      statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission)
      made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
      amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
      registration statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus filed
      with the Commission pursuant to the applicable rules of the Commission or
      in any supplement or addendum thereto, the indemnity agreement herein
      shall not inure to the benefit of any

                                     -5-

      underwriter if a copy of the final prospectus filed pursuant to such
      rules, together with all supplements and addenda thereto, was not
      furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or
      damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the
      Securities Act.

            2.6.2 To the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable
      Securities will, if securities held by such holder are included in the
      securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is
      being effected pursuant to terms hereof, indemnify the Company, each of
      its directors and officers, 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 person selling the Company's
      securities covered by such registration statement, each of such person's
      officers and directors and each person controlling such persons within the
      meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses,
      damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) 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 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 a holder of
      Registrable Securities of any rule or regulation promulgated under the
      Securities Act applicable to holders of Registrable Securities and
      relating to action or inaction required of holders of Registrable
      Securities in connection with any such registration, qualification or
      compliance, and will reimburse the Company, such other persons, such
      directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any
      legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
      investigating 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 or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
      information furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable
      Securities specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the
      indemnity contained herein shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
      of any claim, loss, damage, liability or expense if settlement is effected
      without the consent of such holder of Registrable Securities (which
      consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, the liability of such holder of Registrable Securities under
      this subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the net
      proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by such holder of Registrable
      Securities, unless such liability arises out of or is based on willful
      conduct by such holder of Registrable Securities. In addition, insofar as
      the foregoing indemnity relates to any such untrue statement (or alleged
      untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in the
      preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended
      prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration
      statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus filed pursuant to
      applicable rules of the Commission or in any supplement or addendum
      thereto, the indemnity agreement herein shall not inure to the benefit of
      the Company or any underwriter, if a copy of the final prospectus filed
      pursuant to such rules, together with all supplements and addenda thereto,
      was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability,
      claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the
      Securities Act.

            2.6.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
      Section, each party entitled to indemnification under this Section (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

                                     -6-

      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), and the Indemnified Party may
      participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further
      that 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 the failure to give such notice is materially
      prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and
      provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense
      for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or as to which the
      Indemnifying Party is asserting separate or different defenses, which
      defenses are inconsistent with the defenses of the Indemnified Party. 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 to such claim
      or litigation. No Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment
      or enter into any settlement without the consent of each Indemnifying
      Party.

            2.6.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section is
      unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims,
      damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party,
      in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the
      amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
      losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is
      appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
      the one hand and all shareholders offering securities in the offering (the
      "Selling Security Holders") on the other from the offering of the
      Company's securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
      above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
      appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
      clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
      hand and the Selling Security Holders on the other in connection with the
      statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
      liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
      relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Selling
      Security Holders on the other shall be the net proceeds from the offering
      (before deducting expenses) received by the Company on the one hand and
      the Selling Security Holders on the other. The relative fault of the
      Company on the one hand and the Selling Security Holders on the other
      shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
      untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission or
      alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
      by the Company or by the Selling Security Holders and the parties'
      relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
      correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Selling
      Security Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if
      contribution pursuant to this Section were based solely upon the number of
      entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of
      allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
      referred to above in this Section. The amount paid or payable by an
      Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
      liabilities referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include
      any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party
      in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim,
      subject to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
      Section, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute any amount
      or make any other payments under this Agreement which in the aggregate
      exceed the proceeds received by such Selling Shareholder. No person guilty
      of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
      shall

                                     -7-

      be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such 
      fraudulent misrepresentation.

      2.7   CERTAIN INFORMATION.

            2.7.1 The holders of Registrable Securities agree, with respect to
      any Registrable Securities included in any registration, to furnish to the
      Company such information regarding such holder, the Registrable Securities
      and the distribution proposed by the such holder as the Company may
      reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with
      any registration, qualification or compliance referred to herein.

            2.7.2 The failure of the holder of Registrable Securities to furnish
      the information requested pursuant to Section 2.7.1 shall not affect the
      obligation of the Company to the other Selling Security Holders who
      furnish such information unless, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to
      the Company or the underwriters, such failure impairs or may impair the
      legality of the Registration Statement or the underlying offering.

      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");

            2.8.2 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 all times during which the Company is subject to such
      reporting requirements); and

            2.8.3 So long as any holder of Registrable Securities owns any
      Restricted Securities (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
      Securities Act), to 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 and with regard to the Securities Act and
      the Exchange Act (at all times during which the Company is subject to such
      reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
      report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company
      and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the
      Company as such holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request in
      availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such
