Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 16,000,000 shares of Common
Stock to provide for the issuance of the Securities hereunder. In the event that
the Company determines that it does not have a sufficient number of authorized
shares of Common Stock to reserve and keep available for issuance as described
in this Section 5(f), the Company shall use its best efforts to increase the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock by seeking shareholder approval for
the authorization of such additional shares.

g. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) upon
the Principal Market and each other national securities exchange and automated
quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any
other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Registrable

Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock's authorization for
quotation on the Principal Market, unless the Investor and the Company agree
otherwise. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action
which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of
the Common Stock on the Principal Market (excluding suspensions of not more than
one trading day resulting from business announcements by the Company). The
Company shall promptly provide to the Investor copies of any notices it receives
from the Principal Market regarding the continued eligibility of the Common
Stock for listing on such automated quotation system or securities exchange. The

obligations under this Section 5(g).

commitment or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Company. For purposes hereof, any director who is also an
officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be a
disinterested director with respect to any such agreement, transaction,

more common ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that person or
entity, or (iv) shares common control with that person or entity. "CONTROL" or

is required.

to Make a Put. The Company shall promptly notify Investor upon the occurrence of
any of the following events in respect of a Registration Statement or related
prospectus in respect of an offering of the Shares: (i) receipt of any request
for additional information by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for

(ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the
happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration
Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related
prospectus or documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, it
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading,

24

<PAGE>

and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Company's
reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement would be appropriate, and the Company shall promptly make available to
Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related prospectus. The Company
shall not deliver to Investor any Put Notice during the continuation of any of
the foregoing events.

l. Reimbursement. If (i) Investor, other than by reason of its gross
negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in any capacity in any
action, proceeding or investigation brought by any shareholder of the Company,
in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if Investor is impleaded in any
such action, proceeding or investigation by any person, or (ii) Investor, other
than by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct or by reason of its
trading of the Common Stock in a manner that is illegal under the federal
securities laws, becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or
investigation brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in
connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if Investor is impleaded in any
such action, proceeding or investigation by any person, then in any such case,
the Company will reimburse Investor for its reasonable legal and other expenses
(including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection
therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the
Company under this section shall be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to
any affiliates of Investor that are actually named in such action, proceeding or
investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees, attorneys,
accountants, auditors and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of
Investor and any such affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the
Company, Investor and any such affiliate and any such person.

m. Dilution. The number of Shares issuable pursuant to a Put Notice may
increase substantially in certain circumstances, including, but not necessarily
limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock
declines during the period between the Effective Date and the end of the Open
Period. The Company's executive officers and directors have studied and fully
understand the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of
the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such
issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically
acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Shares upon issuance of a Put
Notice is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution
such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the
Company.

6. COVER. If the number of Shares represented by any Put Notices become

25

<PAGE>

restricted or are no longer freely trading for any reason, and after the
applicable Closing Date, the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction
or otherwise, the Company's Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to
make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Investor (the
"Sold Shares"), which delivery such Investor anticipated to make using the
Shares represented by the Put Notice (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the
Investor, in lieu of the Repurchase Option, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as
defined below). The "Buy-In Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (a) the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (b) the net proceeds (after
brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Investor from the sale of the
Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Investor
in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Investor. By way
of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Investor
purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to the Common Stock it
sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which the Company
will be required to pay to the Investor will be $1,000.
