     Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the placement

     shall include (but not be limited to) a number of shares of Common Stock

     the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants occurred on the Closing
     Date or the Filing Date, whichever date would result in the greater number
     of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
     contrary, such registered shares of Common Stock shall be allocated among
     the Holders pro rata based on the total number of Registrable Securities
     issued or issuable as of each date that a Registration Statement, as
     amended, relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities is declared
     effective by the Commission. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
     the contrary, if the actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
     conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants exceeds
     200% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
     the Preferred Stock and 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock
     issuable upon exercise of the Warrants based upon a computation as of the
     Closing Date or the Filing Date, the term "Registrable Securities" shall be
     deemed to include such additional shares of Common Stock.

          "Registration Statement" means the registration statements and any
     additional registration statements contemplated by Section 2, including (in

     exhibits thereto, and all material incorporated by reference in such
     registration statement.

     the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any
     similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having
     substantially the same effect as such Rule.

          "Rule 158" means Rule 158 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to
     the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any
     similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having
     substantially the same effect as such Rule.

          "Rule 415" means Rule 415 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to
     the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any

     the Holders will be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Section 4.

     2. Shelf Registration.

     On or prior to the Filing Date the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a "shelf" Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities
for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The
Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 (except if the Company is not then
eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2, in
which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
herewith). The Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the
Registrable Securities and the securities listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto
to be included in the Registration Statement and (ii) cause the Registration
Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Effectiveness
Date, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the
Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or
(y) the date on which the Registrable Securities may be sold without any
restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company
pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company's transfer agent
to such effect (the "Effectiveness Period"). If an additional Registration
Statement is required to be filed because the actual number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible and the Warrants are
exercisable exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock initially registered in
respect of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares based upon the
computation on the Closing Date or the Filing Date, the Company shall have
twenty (20) Business Days to file such additional Registration Statement after
receiving notice thereof from any of the Investors, and the Company shall cause
such additional Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission as soon as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) Business
Days after filing.

     3. Registration Procedures.

     In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the
Company shall:

          (a) Prepare and file with the Commission on or prior to the Filing
     Date, a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or if the Company is not then
     eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2
     such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
     herewith) in accordance with the method or methods of distribution thereof
     as specified by the Holders (except if otherwise directed by the Holders),
     and cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain
     effective as provided herein; provided, however, that not less than five
     (5) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any
     related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any
     document that would be incorporated therein by reference), the Company
     shall (i) furnish to the Special Counsel on behalf of the Holders, copies
     of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than
     those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such
     Special Counsel, and (ii) at the request of any Holder cause its officers
     and directors, counsel and independent certified


                                       4
<PAGE>

     public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in
     the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, to conduct a reasonable
     investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall
     not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any
     amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the
     Registrable Securities or any Special Counsel shall reasonably object in
     writing within three (3) Business Days of their receipt thereof.

          (b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
     including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may
     be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as
     to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and
     prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration
     Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of
     the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
     or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
     supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar
     provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii)
     respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the
     Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment
     thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete
     copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the
     Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the
     provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the
     disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
     Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended
     methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration
     Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

          (c) Notify the Special Counsel on behalf of the Holders of Registrable
     Securities to be sold as promptly as possible (and, in the case of (i)(A)
     below, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such filing) and (if
     requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than
     one (1) Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any
     Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
     Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the
     Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement and
     whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement
     and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective
     amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the
     Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
     amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or
     for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any
     stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
     covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any
     Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the
     representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement
     contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all material respects;
     (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
     suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
     the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation
     or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (vi) of the
     occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration
     Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
     incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
     requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
     documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain


                                       5
<PAGE>

     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.

          (d) The Company shall promptly furnish to Special Counsel, without
     charge, (i) any correspondence from the Commission or the Commission's
     staff to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration
     Statement and (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the
     Commission, a copy of any written response to the correspondence received
     from the Commission.

          (e) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
     obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
     Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
     exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
     in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

          (f) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the
     Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement
     or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information
     as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make
     all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective
     amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received
     notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment.

          (g) Furnish the Special Counsel, without charge, at least one
     conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
     including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or
     deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits to the
     extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
     incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with
     the Commission.

          (h) Promptly deliver to the Special Counsel, without charge, as many
     copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of
     prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may
     reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such
     Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
     Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
     Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
     thereto.

          (i) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, register
     or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and any Special Counsel in
     connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such
     registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and
     sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the
     United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such
     registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
     Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary
     or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
     Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided,
     however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do
     business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take
     any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
     jurisdiction


                                       6
<PAGE>

     where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax
     in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

          (j) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
     and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold
     pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free to
     all restrictive legends and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in
     such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request
     at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities.

          (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(vi),
     as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
     post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to
     the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
     incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
     that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such
     Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
     state a 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.

          (l) Request each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information
     regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities
     as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and
     the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities
     of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a
     reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement,
     supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement.

          If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
     otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder
     shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name
     or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal
     statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any
     amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared
     subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

          Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any
     Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has
     received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as
     contemplated in Section 3(h) and notice from the Company that such
     Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have
     become effective as contemplated by Section 3(c) and (ii) it and its
     officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus
     delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in
     connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
     Registration Statement.

          Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities
     that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any
     event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv),
     3(c)(v) or 3(c)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
     such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such
     Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
     amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(k), or until it is
     advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company


                                       7
<PAGE>

     that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
     case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
     are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such
     Prospectus or Registration Statement.

          (m) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the
     Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") reasonably
     determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which
     the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a
     significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the
     acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of
     business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar
     transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines
     not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company
     would be required to disclose under the Registration Statement, then the
     Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration
     statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the
     Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(m)
     for more than 45 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period (each, a
     "Blackout Period"); provided, however, that no such postponement or
     suspension shall be permitted for consecutive 20 day periods, arising out
     of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

     4. Registration Expenses

     All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with
this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not the
Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any
Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees
and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without

          (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding
     any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
     the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and
     sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any
     failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment
     advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such

     reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as
     incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue
     statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
     Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
     thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to
     any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
     Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the
     circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the
     extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
     are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in
     writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which
     information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to
     the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder's
     proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed
     and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the
     Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in
     any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company shall notify the Holders
     promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which
     the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by
     this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
     regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified
     Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
     Holders.

          (b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not
     jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors, officers,
     agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the
     meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
     Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling
     Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
     against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon
     any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
     Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or arising solely out
     of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be
     stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
     any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of
     the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the
     extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
     contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by
     such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration
     Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably
     relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such
     Prospectus or such form of prospectus or to the extent that such
     information


                                       9
<PAGE>

     relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of
     Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such
     Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or
     such form of Prospectus Supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the
     contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section
     5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such
     Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
     Registration Statement.

          (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be
     brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
     "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the
     Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party) in writing,
     and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
     employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
     the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense
     thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such
     notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or
     liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent
     that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
     (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such
     failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
     Indemnifying Party.

          An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
     in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
     fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
     Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed
     in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party
     shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to
     employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any
     such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including
     any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the
     Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
     counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel
     were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in
     which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in
     writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
     Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
     assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the
     Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
     settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent,
     which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party
     shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect
     any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any
     Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
     unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on
     claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

          All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable
     fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating
     or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with
     this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within
     ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party
     (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified
     Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the
     Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified


                                       10
<PAGE>

     Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it
     is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not
     entitled to indemnification hereunder).

          (d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or
     5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal
     of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance
     with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), 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, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
     relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
     connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such
     Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
     fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined
     by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
     including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
     omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by,
     or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
     Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
     information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
     omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
     shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
     5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses
     incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such
     party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
     indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in
     accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     contained herein, the Holder shall be liable or required to contribute
     under this Section 5(c) for only that amount as does not exceed the net
     proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
     pursuant to such Registration Statement.

          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
     contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
     allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into
     account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
     preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
     (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
     entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
     fraudulent misrepresentation.

          The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5
     are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to
     the Indemnified Parties.

     6. Rule 144.

     As long as any Holder owns Preferred Shares, New Common Shares, Conversion
Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder
owns Preferred Shares, New Common Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the
Securities Act annual and quarterly


                                       11
<PAGE>

financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial
statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would
otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in
the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made
under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Person to sell Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions of counsel to the Company referred to in
the Purchase Agreement. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall
deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as
to whether it has complied with such requirements.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder,
     of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the
     Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
     rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of
     damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
     Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would
     not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a
     breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further
     agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect
     of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be
     adequate.

          (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Except as listed on Schedule 2
     attached hereto, the Company has not, as of the date hereof entered into
     and currently in effect, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of
     this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
     that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this
     Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company
     has not previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting
     any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
     Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the
     written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding
     Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right
     to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the
     Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to
     the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not
     otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as listed on Schedule 2
     attached hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other
     than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities
     of the Company in the Registration Statement, and the Company shall not
     after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing such right to any
     of its security holders, unless the right so granted is subject in all
     respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and
     is not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.


                                       12
<PAGE>

          (d) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time when there is not an
     effective Registration Statement covering (i) New Common Shares, (ii)
     Conversion Shares or (iii) Warrant Shares, the Company shall determine to
     prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to
     an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
     Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or
     Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or an equivalent
     form relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with
     any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in
     connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company
     shall send to each holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such
     determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice,
     any such holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify
     the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Investors),
     the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all
     Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register
     by the holder, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the
     Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time
     after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and
     prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in
     connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any
     reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the
     Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to
     such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to
     register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
     Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its
     obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii)
     in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to
     delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to
     this Section 7(d) for the same period as the delay in registering such
     other securities. The Company shall include in such registration statement
     all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be
     registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
     register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7(d) that are
     eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the
     case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or
     underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable
     Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company after
     consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that
     the inclusion of such Registrable Securities, would materially adversely
     affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based
     on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement
     of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the
     number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such
     registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based
     upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the
     registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s)
     recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of
     the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such
     registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the
     underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable
     Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the
     account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction
     shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable
     Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of
     similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than
     the Company).

          (e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The
     Company and the Investors agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
     Registration Statement is not


                                       13
<PAGE>

     filed on or prior to the Filing Date and not declared effective by the
     Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the
     manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if certain
     other events occur. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would
     not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.
     Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to
     the Filing Date, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior
     to the Effectiveness Date (or in the event an additional Registration
     Statement is filed because the actual number of shares of Common Stock into
     which the Preferred Stock is convertible and the Warrants are exercisable
     exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock initially registered for such
     conversion and exercise is not filed and declared effective within the time
     periods set forth in Section 2(a)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with
     the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 12dl-2
     promulgated under the Exchange Act within five (5) Business Days of the
     date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is
     earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be
     "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (iii) the Registration
     Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but
     thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any
     time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being
     succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with and
     declared effective by the Commission, or (iv) trading in the Common Stock
     shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from the Principal
     Market for any reason for more than three (3) Business Days in the
     aggregate, or (v) the conversion rights of the Holders are suspended for
     any reason, including by the Company, or (vi) the Company breaches in a
     material respect any covenant or other material term or condition to this
     Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Purchase Agreement (other
     than a representation or warranty contained therein) or any other
     agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in
     connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and such
     breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
     thereof to the Company, or (vii) the Company has breached Section 3(m) of
     this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an
     "Event"), the Company shall pay as liquidated damages for such failure and
     not as a penalty to each Holder an amount equal to 2% of such Holder's pro
     rata share of the purchase price paid by all Holders for all shares of
     Preferred Stock purchased and then outstanding pursuant to the Purchase
     Agreement for the initial thirty (30) day period after the Event until the
     applicable Event has been cured, which shall be pro rated for such periods
     less than thirty (30) days, and 3% of such Holder's pro rata share of the
     purchase price paid by all Holders for all shares of Preferred Stock
     purchased and then outstanding pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each
     subsequent thirty (30) day period thereafter until the applicable Event has
     been cured which shall be pro rated for such periods less than thirty (30)
     days (the "Periodic Amount"). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section
     7(e) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in cash or as a
     Dividend Payment (as defined in Section 2(a) of the Certificate of
     Designations) at the option of such Holder. The parties agree that the
     Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the
     parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that
     may be incurred by the Holders if the Registration Statement is not filed
     on or prior to the Filing Date or has not been declared effective by the
     Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and maintained in the
     manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period or if any other
     Event as described herein has occurred.

          (f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.


                                       14
<PAGE>

               (i) The Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that
          irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions
          of this Registration Rights Agreement or the Purchase Agreement were
          not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
          otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
          entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches
          of the provisions of this Registration Rights Agreement or the
          Purchase Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
          provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other
          remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.

               (ii) Each of the Company and the Investors (i) hereby irrevocably
          submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
          sitting in the Southern District of New York for the purposes of any
          suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
          Agreement or the Purchase Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees
          not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that
          it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that
          the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or
          that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of
          the Company and the Investors consents to process being served in any
          such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
          party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
          and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
          service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7(f)
          shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
          permitted by law.

          (g) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
     including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
     supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions
     hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
     the Company and each of the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
     waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a
     matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not
     directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by
     Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such
     waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this
     sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance
     with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

          (h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries
     required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and
     shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of
     transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
     the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m.,
     eastern time, on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of
     transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at
     the facsimile telephone number specified for notice later than 5:00 p.m.,
     eastern time, on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., eastern time, on
     such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by
     nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) actual receipt by
     the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for
     such communications shall be with respect to each Holder at its address set
     forth under its name on Schedule 1 attached hereto, or with respect to the
     Company, addressed to:


                                       15

          (i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
     inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
     assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors
     and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights
     or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder.
     Each Investor may assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the
     Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

          (j) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder
     hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale
     Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
     shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such
     Holder of all or a portion of the shares of Preferred Stock, New Common
     Shares, Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in
     writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy
     of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time
     after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after
     such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name
     and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
     respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
     assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further
     disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted
     under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or
     before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by
     clause (ii) of this Section, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing
     with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement,
     and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the
     applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, each Holder
     shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other Person
     with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
     unreasonably withheld. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders
     (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

          (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of

     original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
     Agreement. In the event that any signature is


                                       16

     delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid
     binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
     signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such
     facsimile signature were the original thereof.

          (l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
     in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to
     principles of conflicts of law thereof.

          (m) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative
     and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          (n) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
     this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any
     respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
     set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way
     be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
     their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve
     the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
     term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
     declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed
     the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without
     including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void
     or unenforceable.

          (o) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
     constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or

          (p) Shares Held by the Company and its Affiliates. Whenever the
     consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable
     Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the
     Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or
     successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate
     solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not
     be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the
     Holders of such required percentage.

          (q) Notice of Effectiveness. Within two (2) business days after the
     Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered
     effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause
     legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such
     Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable
     Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that
     the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in
     the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

[TRANSFER AGENT]
Attn: _____________

          Re: Global Maintech Corporation
              ---------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to Global Maintech Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the
"Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated as of January 19, 2000, by and among the Company and the
purchasers named therein (collectively, the "Holders") pursuant to which the
Company issued to the Holders and the placement agent shares of its common
stock, no par value per share (the "Common Shares"), shares of its Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") and issued warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per
share (the "Common Stock"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has
also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as of January 19, 2000, pursuant to
which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the
Common Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under
the Registration Rights Agreement, on ________________, 1999, the Company filed
a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-________) (the "Registration
Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present Holders
as a selling stockholder thereunder.

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that
purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable
Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       -----------------------------------------
