its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.

assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Purchaser which

force and effect and shall survive until June 29, 2000; provided, however, that

until such time as each and every claim (including any identification claim
asserted by any Indemnitee under Section 5.2) that is based directly or
indirectly upon, or that relates directly or indirectly to, the same general
facts and circumstances of such Breach or alleged Breach of such representation
or warranty has been fully and finally resolved, either by means of a written
settlement agreement executed on behalf of Seller and Purchaser or by means of a
final, non-appealable judgement issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of
Seller, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees,
shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information
furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the
Indemnitees or any of their Representatives.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a "CLAIM NOTICE" relating to a
particular representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been given if any
Indemnitee, acting in good faith, delivers to Seller a written notice stating

such representation or warranty and containing (i) a brief description of the
circumstances supporting such Indemnitee's belief that there is or has been such

otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages

as a direct or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

this Section 5).
(b) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a Claim Notice concerning any
claim for indemnification to be asserted hereunder. Purchaser and Seller shall
negotiate in good faith for a period of 30 days concerning any claim brought
hereunder before taking any action to adjudicate any such claim.
(c) Purchaser shall have the ability to offset any Damages under
Section 5.2(a) above against the Earn-out Shares or Spatial Warrant that have

SECTION 6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
6.1 REGISTRATION STATEMENT.
(a) Within thirty (30) days following the date on which the closing
price on the American Stock Exchange of the Company's Common Stock has been
equal to or in excess of $12.50 for fifteen (15) consecutive days, the Purchaser
may file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or equivalent form)
(the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") with respect to the shares of Common Stock (the
"WARRANT SHARES") issuable upon the exercise of the Spatial Warrant. If the
Purchaser chooses to file the Registration Statement, Purchaser shall use
reasonable commercial efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective as promptly as possible and shall maintain the Registration Statement
in effect until the termination of the Spatial Warrant or the resale of all of
the underlying shares. The Purchaser shall keep the Participating Holders
reasonably informed regarding such filing and confirm when such filing is
effective and otherwise cooperate with the Participating Holders in customary
ways so as to allow such Participating Holders to sell the Warrant Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Person to whom rights under the Warrant may be assigned, or who receives Warrant
Shares, shall have any rights under this Section 6 unless such Person executes a
written agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and content to the Purchaser
confirming that such Person wishes to be allowed to sell Warrant Shares pursuant
to the Registration Statement and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 6. (A Person (which shall include Seller) who receives rights under the
Warrant or Warrant Shares and who executes and delivers such an agreement is
referred to in this Section 6 as a "PARTICIPATING HOLDER.")
6.2 EXPENSES. The Purchaser shall bear all fees and expenses incurred
in connection with any registration under this Section 6, including without
limitation all registration, qualification, filing, printers' and accounting
fees, except that each Participating Holder shall bear its proportionate share
of all amounts payable to underwriters for discounts and commissions.
6.3 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by
law, each Participating Holder, its respective directors and officers and each
Person who controls such Participating Holder (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against all Damages suffered by such Person as a result of any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or in the related prospectus or preliminary prospectus
(or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or as a result of any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission results
from or is contained in any information furnished in writing to the Purchaser by
such Participating Holder for use therein or results from such Participating
Holder's failure to deliver a copy of a Registration Statement or related
prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) after the Purchaser
has furnished such Participating Holder with a sufficient number of copies
thereof.
(b) In connection with each Registration Statement, each
Participating Holder (i) shall
12.
<PAGE> 13
furnish to the Purchaser in writing such information and affidavits as the
Purchaser reasonably requests for use in connection with such Registration
Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) to the extent permitted by law,
will indemnify the Purchaser, its directors and officers and each Person who
controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all
Damages resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in such Registration Statement or in the related prospectus or
preliminary prospectus (or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) or
from any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to
the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission results from or is contained in any information or affidavit furnished
in writing by such Participating Holder.
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 6
will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in the indemnified
party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest exists between the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit
the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed,
the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any consent to
the entry of any judgment or any settlement made by the indemnified party
without the indemnifying party's consent (but such consent will not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects
not to, assume the defense of a claim will pay the fees and expenses of only one
counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to
such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a
conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other
indemnified party with respect to such claim (in which case the indemnifying
party will pay the fees and expenses of additional counsel).
6.4 TRANSFERABILITY OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights of Participating
Holders under this Section 6 shall be transferable in connection with: (a) the
distribution of the assets of Seller to its shareholders, (b) a transfer by will
or intestacy; and (c) estate planning transfers consisting of gifts to the
spouse or issue of the transferor or to a charity qualified under Section
501(c)(3) of the Code.

administrators, estate, heirs, successors and assigns, and Purchaser and its
successors and assigns. Seller shall not be permitted to assign any rights or
delegate any obligations under this Agreement without Purchaser's prior written

its indemnification rights under Section 5. Except for the provisions of Section
5, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or
remedies to any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns.

affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent

entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter thereof and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the
