Shareholder a Notice of Exercise within 10 days of the Effective Date.

of the Shares to be Transferred by the Selling Shareholder, then it
shall give prompt notice thereof to the other Shareholders, after
which the other Shareholders will have an option for an additional 10
days to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Shares offered
for Transfer by the Selling Shareholder on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Notice of Offer. If a Shareholder
elects to exercise its option to acquire Shares to be Transferred, it
must deliver to the Selling Shareholder a Notice of Exercise within 20
days of the Effective Date. If more than one Shareholder exercises
said option, then each such Shareholders shall have the right to
purchase Shares of the Selling Shareholder on a pro rata basis based
on the current number of Shares owned by each purchasing Shareholder.

(c) The Notice of Exercise delivered by the Corporation or any
Shareholder shall specify a closing date within 35 days after the
Effective Date of the Notice of Offer. The Selling Shareholder and the
Corporation or other Shareholders, as the case may be, may extend the
closing date by mutual written consent.
(d) If either the Corporation or any Shareholder elects to
exercise its option to purchase all or any portion of the Shares, then
the Selling Shareholder may not Transfer such Shares to any other
party. If the periods during which the Corporation and the other
Shareholders are entitled to exercise their options to purchase such
Shares expire without the exercise of said options with respect to any
of the Shares so offered, then the Selling Shareholder shall, for a
period ending 30 days after the termination of the last applicable
option period, be free to Transfer the Shares to the Transferee making
the Bona Fide Offer contained in the Notice of Offer or to another
party or parties, but in either case only so long as such Transfer is
effected on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Selling
Shareholder as those set forth in the Bona Fide Offer contained in the
Notice of Offer. Any Transferee shall, as a condition to the
recognition by the Corporation of such Transfer, execute an instrument
acceptable to the Corporation acknowledging the terms and restrictions
of this Agreement and the Transferee's obligation to be bound hereby.
(e) If the Selling Shareholder does not Transfer the Shares
within the period specified in paragraph (d) hereof, then such Shares
shall again become subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.
(f) Any Shares purchased by the Corporation shall be restored to
the status of authorized but unissued Shares.
(g) The Selling Shareholder will be responsible for the payment
of any and all expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholder in the
exercise of the rights specified in this Section 4 and the sale of his
Shares.
SECTION 5. PERMITTED TRANSFERS.
(a) The following types of Transfers ("Permitted Transfers") may
be consummated notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 of this
Agreement:
(i) a Transfer by any Shareholder of all or any portion
of his Shares, whether or not for adequate consideration,
either directly to, or indirectly in trust for, his spouse,
children, parents, siblings or a corporation or other entity
of which he (and/or his spouse, children, parents or
siblings) beneficially own 100% of the equity interests;
(ii) a Transfer by any Shareholder of all or any
portion of his Shares to another Shareholder; or
(iii) a Transfer by any Control Shareholder of 50% or
more of his Shares.
4
<PAGE>
(b) In the event a Shareholder makes a Permitted Transfer, he
shall notify the Corporation thereof, which notice shall specify (i)
the name of the Transferee, (ii) the relationship of the Transferee to
the Shareholder, (iii) the number of Shares transferred and (iv) the
date of the Transfer. Any such Transferee shall, as a condition of the
recognition by the Corporation of such Transfer, execute a counterpart
copy of this Agreement or other instrument acceptable to the
Corporation acknowledging the terms and restrictions of this Agreement
and the Transferee's obligation to be bound hereby.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a
Shareholder may pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber up to 50% of
his Shares to, or in favor of, any national or state bank or other
financial institution; provided, however, that a Shareholder may
pledge, hypothecate or encumber all of his Shares in order to secure a
loan made to the Company. In the event a Shareholder pledges,
hypothecates or encumbers Shares, he shall notify the Corporation
thereof, which notice shall specify (i) the name of the party to which
the Shares have been pledged, (ii) the number of Shares pledged (iii)
the amount of the obligation for which such Shares have been given as
security and (iv) the date of the pledge.
SECTION 6. SALES BY CONTROL SHAREHOLDERS.
(a) Other than as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6,
any Control Shareholder who agrees to sell more than 50% of his Shares
shall, on behalf of each other Shareholder which desires to sell his
Shares, cause the purchaser of the Control Shareholder's Shares to
agree to also acquire the Shares of each such other Shareholder on the
same terms as such purchaser has agreed to acquire the Shares from the
Control Shareholder; provided, however, that if such purchaser is
unwilling to buy all Shares tendered to it by such Control Shareholder
and any such other Shareholders, then each of the selling Shareholders
will be entitled to sell a pro rata portion of his Shares based on the
current number of Shares owned by such Shareholder.
(b) The provisions of Section 6(a) shall not apply to any sale of
Control Shares from one Control Shareholder to another Control
Shareholder.
(c) Any sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 6 by Shareholders
will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement.
SECTION 7. SECURITY FOR PURCHASE PRICE OF SHARES. Whenever any Shares
are purchased pursuant to the option created under Section 4 of this Agreement
and the parties agree that the entire purchase price for the Shares will not be
paid at closing, then the purchaser(s) may endorse the certificates for the
purchased Shares and deliver the same to the Selling Shareholder as collateral
security for the payment of the unpaid purchase price, and such shares may be so
held until the entire purchase price shall have been paid. While such shares
shall be so held as collateral security and so long as the purchasing
Shareholder is not in default, the purchasing Shareholder shall be entitled to
all rights as a Shareholder, including voting rights and rights to all
dividends, with respect to such Shares.

SECTION 8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) If the Company proposes to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act with respect to either a primary or secondary
offering by the Company of equity securities for its own account
(other than a registration statement relating solely to (i) securities
to be offered to employees pursuant to a stock option, stock savings,
or other employee benefit plan of the Company or its affiliates; (ii)
securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets
of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, another
corporation; (iii) securities to be offered by the Company generally
to any class or series of its then-existing security holders; (iv)
ecurities issuable upon conversion of securities which are the subject
of an underwritten redemption; or (v) securities to be offered or
issued pursuant to a combination of the foregoing transactions), then
the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each
Shareholder as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days
before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement),
and such notice shall offer the opportunity to register all or any
part of the Shares owned by the Shareholders. Shareholders shall have
15 days following receipt of such notice to request in writing
inclusion of their Shares in such registration, which request shall
specify the number of Shares a Shareholder proposes to sell.
(b) Whenever a Shareholder requests that all or part of his
Shares be included in a proposed registration, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of
such Shares and to cause the managing underwriter of any proposed
underwritten offering to permit the requested Shares to be included in
such registration. Shareholders may only participate in the
underwritten portion of such registration hereunder if each of them
(i) agrees to sell their Shares on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements and these registration rights. Among
other things, each Shareholder agrees, if his Shares are included in
an underwritten offering, that he will join in any general agreement
with the managing underwriter not to effect any public sale or
distribution of his Shares pursuant to such registration for a period
of time not to exceed 180 days after the date any such registration
statement is declared effective under the Securities Act.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in paragraph (a) of
this Section 8, the Company may, at the discretion of a majority of
its Board of Directors and without the consent of any requesting
Shareholder, withdraw any registration and abandon the proposed
offering. Furthermore, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten
offering advises the Company that in its opinion either because of (i)
the size of the offering that the Company and any Shareholders desire
to make or (ii) the kind of securities that the Company and any
Shareholders intend to include in such offering, the success of the
offering could be materially and adversely affected by inclusion of
the Shares requested to be included, then (A) in the event that the
size of the offering is the basis of such managing underwriter's
opinion, the amount of Shares to be offered for the account of
Shareholders shall be reduced on a pro rata basis among such
Shareholders (on the basis of the amount of Shares intended to be
included in such registration by each such
6
<PAGE>
Shareholder as compared to the aggregate amount of Shares intended to
be included by all such Shareholders) to the extent necessary to reduce
the total amount of Shares to be included in such offering to the
amount recommended by such managing underwriter; and (B) in the event
that the kind or combination of securities to be offered is the basis
of such managing underwriter's opinion, the amount of Shares to be
included in such offering shall be reduced as described in clause (A)
above or, if any such reduction would, in the judgment of the managing
underwriter, be insufficient to substantially eliminate the adverse
effect that inclusion of the Shares requested to be included could have
on such offering, such Shares shall be excluded from such underwritten
offering. Notwithstanding the exclusion of such Shares from such
underwritten offering, the Company will cause such Shares to be
registered for resale in the same registration statement, provided that
the requesting Shareholders agree not to consummate any such resale of
their Shares pursuant to such registration statement for a period of
180 days after such registration statement is declared effective under
the Securities Act. The Company agrees to maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement under the Securities Act for up to 12
months after such 180-day period has expired or until all such
registered Shares are sold.
(d) The registration rights under this Section shall only apply
to the first two registration statements filed by the Company and
declared effective under the Securities Act, other than registration
statements relating to those offerings described in items (i) through
(v) of paragraph (a) of this Section 8.
(e) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with the
registration of Shares pursuant to this Section 8, including expenses
incurred in connection with any registration statements that do not
become effective. Shareholders participating in such registration
shall pay their pro rata share of all underwriting fees, discounts or
commissions attributable to any sale of all or part of their Shares in
connection with any registration, whether or not the registration
statement becomes effective. A Shareholder's pro rata share of such
underwriting fees, discounts or commissions will be determined by
reference to the number of shares to be sold by such Shareholder
compared with the number of shares to be sold by all Shareholders and
the Company pursuant to the registration.
(f) The Company agrees that, if a registration statement which
would give rise to the registration rights set forth in paragraph (a)
of this Section 8 has not been declared effective under the Securities
Act on or before June 30, 1999, then it will use its best efforts to
cause a registration statement to be filed on the appropriate form
under the Securities Act which relates to the resale of the Shares and
to have such registration statement declared effective under the
Securities Act by no later than December 31, 1999; provided that such
dates may be extended by mutual agreement between the Company and RAF
Financial Corporation, in their sole discretion. The Company will keep
the registration statement effective for 12 months after the 180-day
period described in Section 8(c) hereof expires or until all
registered shares have been sold, whichever occurs earlier. The
Company further agrees that on the date such registration statement is
declared effective, the Company will have caused the Shares to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, if the Company qualifies for
such listing or, if not, on the
7
<PAGE>
American Stock Exchange, if the Company qualifies for such listing or,
if not, on the Nasdaq Stock Market, if the Company qualifies for such
listing or, if not, on the SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market.
(g) Whenever the Company files a registration statement pursuant
to this Section 8 that is declared effective and that registers any
Shares for resale, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to
register or qualify the Shares for sale in those states requested by
the person selling the Shares; provided that, the Company shall not be
required to register or qualify the Shares for sale in any state in
which the sale of the Shares by the person selling the Shares would be
exempt from having to be registered or qualified in such state. The
determination of whether or not such an exemption exists shall be made
by counsel for the Company and such determination shall be provided in
writing to the person desiring the sell Shares in a state.
(h) With respect to the Shareholders who purchased Shares in the
private offering of up to 2,000,000 Shares (the "Private Offering")
made by the Company pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum,
dated July 3, 1997, and any amendments or supplements thereto (the
"PPM"), the Company agrees that it will issue additional Shares
("Additional Shares") to such Shareholders if (i) Shares are sold by
the Company pursuant to the first registration statement of the
Company which is declared effective under the Securities Act (other
than those excluded registration statements described in Section 8(a)
hereof) (the "Registered Offering") at a price of less than $10.00 per
Share or (ii) Shares are sold by the Company between the date of the
first sale of Shares in the Private Offering and the date of the
closing of the Registered Offering at a price of less than $5.00 per
Share; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to
issue Additional Shares if the amount of consideration received by the
Company from the issuance of shares (x) to the Placement Agents upon
the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants described in the PPM, (y)
to G.S. Beckwith Gilbert upon the exercise of certain warrants issued
by the Company to him or (z) to Jeffrey Sklar upon the exercise of
certain options issued by the Company to him (all as described in the
PPM) is less than $5.00 per share. If the sale price in the Registered
Offering is less than $10.00 per Share, the number of Additional
Shares to be issued to each such Shareholder will be determined by
subtracting such sale price from $10.00, multiplying the result by the
number of Shares acquired in the Private Offering by such Shareholder
and then dividing the product by such sale price. If the sale price
for any other sale of Shares described in clause (ii) above is less
than $5.00 per Share, the number of Additional Shares to be issued to
each such Shareholder will be determined by subtracting such sale
price from $5.00, multiplying the result by the number of Shares
acquired in the Private Offering by such Shareholder and dividing the
product by such sale price. The Company will issue Additional Shares
to each such Shareholder within 10 days after the date of the
occurrence of the event that causes the Company to have to issue the
Additional Shares. Further, such Additional Shares shall be subject
to, and have the benefits of, this Agreement.

parties hereto will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is

obligation shall be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific
performance.

any prior agreements among the parties pertaining to the Shares. There are no
