agreement will require the Issuer on up to three occasions when requested by
SVCC, to file a registration statement with the Commission registering for
public resale at least 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock received by SVCC in
the merger. The Issuer will only be required to effect one registration in any

rights so as to be able to include the shares of Common Stock it receives in the
merger in a registration statement filed by the Issuer. This agreement will
terminate after May 6, 2005 or earlier if the Issuer provides a written opinion
that the shares may be resold in a three-month period under Rule 144 or 145
