Section 2.1.   Investment.

          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the
Company agrees to sell, and the Investors, severally and not jointly, agree to
purchase the Shares as follows:


              (i)   Initial Closing. Upon satisfaction by the Company of the
                    Closing conditions set forth in Section 2.1(b), the
                    Investors shall purchase Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
                    ($500,000) of Common Stock at the Purchase Price. The

                    Initial Shares to the Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow
                    Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Upon satisfaction of
                    the conditions set forth in Section 2.1(b), the initial
                    Closing ("Closing") shall occur at the offices of the Escrow

                    shall release the Purchase Price (after all fees have been
                    paid as set forth in the Escrow Agreement), pursuant to the
                    terms of the Escrow Agreement.


              (ii)  Reprice Closing. Upon the Effective Date, if the Repricing
                    Price is less than the Purchase Price, then each Investor
                    may request that its Initial Shares be repriced at the
                    Repricing Price. Each Investor shall provide facsimile
                    notice to the Company within five (5) Trading Days of the
                    end



                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                  of the Repricing Period concerning the number of Repriced
                  Shares, if any, that the Investor wishes to reprice. Subject
                  to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.1(a)(ii)(1) and
                  2.1(a)(ii)(2) below, upon receipt of facsimile notice that
                  Investor wishes to reprice some or all of the Repriced Shares,
                  the Company will issue within five (5) Trading Days to
                  Investor the number of additional Shares as determined
                  according to the following formula:


               ((Purchase Price - Repricing Price) x (No. of Repriced Shares)) /
               Repricing Price


              1.  If by way of any reprice pursuant to this Section, the
                  Investor would receive a number of Repriced Shares such that
                  the total number of Shares beneficially owned (within the
                  meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor
                  as of the date of such adjustment would be greater than 9.99%
                  but less than 13.0% of the total outstanding Common Stock of
                  the Company, then the Company shall not effect the repricing
                  required by this Section to the extent necessary to avoid
                  causing the aforesaid limitation to be exceeded until 120 days
                  following the date such repricing would have otherwise been
                  made.


              2.  If by way of any reprice pursuant to this Section, the
                  Investor would receive a number of Repriced Shares such that
                  the total number of Shares held by the Investor as of the date
                  of such adjustment would equal or exceed 13.0% of the total
                  outstanding Common Stock of the Company, then the Company
                  shall not effect the repricing required by this Section to the
                  extent necessary to avoid causing the aforesaid limitation to
                  be exceeded until 180 days following the date such repricing
                  would have otherwise been made.


          (b) The initial Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by
the party sought to be benefited thereby of the following conditions:


              (i)   acceptance and execution by the Company and by the
                    Investors, of this Agreement and all Exhibits hereto;


              (ii)  delivery into escrow by each Investor of immediately

                    Agreement;


              (iii) all representations and warranties of the Investors
                    contained herein shall remain true and correct as of the
                    initial Closing Date (as a condition to the Company's
                    obligations);

                     herein shall remain true and correct as of the initial

              (v)    the Company shall have obtained all permits and
                     qualifications required by any state for the offer and sale
                     of the Common Stock, or shall have the availability of
                     exemptions therefrom;

              (vi)   the sale and issuance of the Common Stock hereunder, and
                     the proposed issuance by the Company to the Investors of

                     conversion or exercise thereof shall be legally permitted
                     by all laws and regulations to which the Investors and the
                     Company are subject and there shall be no ruling, judgment

creation or imposition by the Company of any liens, charges or claims or other
encumbrances upon the Shares, except as contemplated herein, any of the assets
of the Company, or (ii) entitle the holders of Outstanding Capital Shares to
preemptive or other rights to subscribe for or acquire the Capital Shares or

(as that term is used in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D) or general advertising
with respect to the sale of the Shares or (ii) made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security under any circumstances
that would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act.

Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares, do
not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default
(or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument, or any
"lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which
the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state or
local law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and
state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any
material property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, nor is the
Company otherwise in violation of, conflict with or default under any of the
foregoing (except in each case for such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect). The business of
the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations that

state securities filings that may be required to be made by the Company

announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed in the SEC Documents.

exercise of employee stock options, or pursuant to its discussion with the
Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company
has not issued, offered or sold its Common Stock, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock within the six-month period
next preceding the date hereof, and the Company shall not permit any of its

Effect. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no judgment, order, writ,
injunction or decree or award has been issued by or, to the knowledge of the
Company, requested of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency which could
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

knowledge of the Company, any person representing the Company, or any other

the Investors any material non-public information that (i) if disclosed, would
reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the price of the Common

other third parties; and since December 31, 1998, the charges, accruals and

proposed to be made of such property by the Company; and to the Company's
knowledge any real property, mineral or water rights, and buildings held under

knowledge (collectively, "Intangibles") necessary for the conduct of its
business as now being conducted. To the Company's knowledge, except as disclosed
in the SEC Documents neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is
infringing upon or in conflict with any right of any other person with respect

enabling the Company to issue the Shares at the reprice Closing. The number of
shares so reserved from time to time, as theretofore increased or reduced as
hereinafter provided, may be reduced by the number of shares actually delivered
pursuant to any reprice by an Investor and the number of shares so reserved
shall be increased or decreased to reflect potential increases or decreases in
the Common Stock that the Company may thereafter be obligated to issue by reason
of adjustments to the Investor's rights to demand Repriced Shares.


Section 6.3. Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to maintain the
listing of the Common Stock on a Principal Market, and as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Closing to list the Shares on the Principal Market.

until the Investors have disposed of all of their Registrable Securities.

shall be free of legends, except as set forth in Article IX.

Section 6.6. Corporate Existence; Conflicting Agreements. The Company will take
all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate existence of the

agreements attached as exhibits hereto.

connection with the sale of the Securities to the Investors as required by all
applicable laws, and shall provide a copy thereof to the Investors promptly
after such filing.

Section 6.9. Future Financing. The Company agrees that it will enter into an
equity financing arrangement for up to Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) arranged
through Triton West Group or other equity financing agreement approved by all of
the Investors within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. The Company agrees
that it will not enter into any other sale of its securities for cash at a

                                   ARTICLE VII

                            SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

<PAGE>   16

and remedies for such breach or violation available to it under the provisions
of this Agreement, irrespective of any investigation made by or on behalf of
such party on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 7.2. Indemnity. (a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Investors, their respective Affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the "Investor
Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Damages, and agrees to reimburse the
Investor Indemnitees for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as
incurred by the Investor Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in
connection with:


               (i) any misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of
          the Company's representations or warranties contained in this
          Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any
          instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the
          Company pursuant to this Agreement; or


               (ii) any failure by the Company to perform in any material
          respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations
          set forth in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto
          or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered
          by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or


               (iii) any action instituted against the Investors, or any of
          them, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of an
          Investor, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this
          Agreement.

               (b) Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the "Company
Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Damages, and agrees to reimburse the
Company Indemnitees for reasonable all out-of-pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as
incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in
connection with any misrepresentation, omission of fact, or breach of any of the
Investor's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the
annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or
certificate entered into or delivered by the Investor pursuant to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Investor shall
not be liable under this Section 7.2(b) for any amount in excess of the net
proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Section 7.3. Notice. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 (an "Indemnified Party") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party from whom indemnification pursuant to



                                       16
<PAGE>   17
Section 7.2 is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party,
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such
omission or delay. In connection with any Claim as to which both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption
of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the
defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable
fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the
Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed
to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party
reasonably shall have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to
actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party,
potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the
defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the
Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to
the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to
employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a
reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the
Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as
described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such
legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as
provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim
in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
firm of legal counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local
counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle
or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment.

          All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable
costs of defense and investigation in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be paid to the
Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading 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
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).

Section 7.4. Direct Claims. In the event one party hereunder should have a claim
for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a
third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim
to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such
dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the
procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association as set forth in
Article X. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in
any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

Section 8.1. Due Diligence Review. Subject to Section 8.2, the Company shall
make available for inspection and review by the Investors, advisors to and
representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the

participating in any disposition of the Registrable Securities on behalf of the
Investors pursuant to the Registration Statement, any such registration
statement or amendment or supplement thereto or any blue sky, Nasdaq or other
filing, all SEC Documents and other filings with the SEC, and all other publicly
available corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably
necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company's officers,
directors and employees to supply all such publicly available information
reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or
underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without
limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or
submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and
effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the
Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their
respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due
diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of the Registration
Statement.

Section 8.2. Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information.

          (a) The Company shall not disclose material non-public information to
the Investors, advisors to or representatives of the Investors unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being
non-public information and provides the Investors, such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. Other than disclosure of any comment letters
received from the SEC staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the
Company may, as a condition to disclosing any non-public information hereunder,
require the Investors' advisors and representatives to enter into a
confidentiality agreement in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Investors.

          (b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose material
non-public information to the Investors or their advisors or representatives,
and the Company represents that it does not disseminate material non-public
information to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public
offering, to money managers or to securities analysts, provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as
hereinabove provided, promptly notify the advisors and representatives of the
Investors and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any
circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or
circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting material non-public
information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally
during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not
disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause
such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a material fact
required to be stated therein in order to make the statements, therein in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

Nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Investors (without the written consent of the
Investors prior to disclosure of such information as set forth in Section
8.2(a)) may not obtain non-public information in the course of conducting due
diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein
shall prevent any such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their
opinion that based on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the
Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary
to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading.

                           CHOICE OF LAW; ARBITRATION

Section 10.1. Governing Law/Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made in New York by persons domiciled in New York City and without
regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute under this Agreement
shall be submitted to arbitration under the American Arbitration Association
(the "AAA") in New York City, New York, and shall be finally and conclusively
determined by the decision of a board of arbitration consisting of three (3)
members (hereinafter referred to as the "Board of Arbitration") selected
according to the rules governing the AAA. The Board of Arbitration shall meet on
consecutive business days in New York City, New York, and shall reach and render
a decision in writing (concurred in by a majority of the members of the Board of
Arbitration) with respect to the amount, if any, which the losing party is
required to pay to the other party in respect of a claim filed. In connection
with rendering its decisions, the Board of Arbitration shall adopt and follow
the laws of the State of New York unless the matter at issue is the corporation
law of the company's state of incorporation, in which event the corporation law
of such jurisdiction shall govern such issue. To the extent practical, decisions
of the Board of Arbitration shall be rendered no more than thirty (30) calendar
days following commencement of proceedings with respect thereto. The Board of
Arbitration shall cause its written decision to be delivered to all parties
involved in the dispute. Any decision made by the Board of Arbitration (either
prior to or after the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period) shall
be final, binding and conclusive on the parties to the dispute, and entitled to
be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The Board of Arbitration shall be authorized and is
hereby directed to enter a default judgment against any party failing to
participate in any proceeding hereunder within the time periods set forth in the
AAA rules. The prevailing party shall be awarded its costs, including attorneys'
fees, from the non-prevailing party as part of the arbitration award. Any party
shall have the right to seek injunctive relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction in any case where such relief is available. The prevailing party in
such injunctive action shall be awarded its costs, including attorney's fees,
from the non-prevailing party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the provisions of this Agreement shall inure

Shares purchased or acquired by any Investor hereunder with respect to the
Shares held by such person, and (b) upon the prior written consent

Section 13.1. Counterparts/ Facsimile/ Amendments. This Agreement may be
executed in multiple counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than
all of the parties and shall be deemed to be an original instrument which shall
be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except as
otherwise stated herein, in lieu of the original documents, a facsimile
transmission or copy of the original documents shall be as effective and
enforceable as the original. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing
executed by all parties.

Section 13.2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the agreements attached as
Exhibits hereto, which include the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights
Agreement, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties,
both oral and written relating to the subject matter hereof. The terms and
conditions of all Exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this
reference and shall constitute part of this Agreement as is fully set forth
herein.


Section 13.3. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if
it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.


Section 13.4. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for
convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement.

Section 13.5. Number and Gender. There may be one or more Investors parties to
this Agreement, which Investors may be natural persons or entities. All
references to plural Investors shall apply equally to a single Investor if there
is only one Investor, and all references to an Investor as "it" shall apply
equally to a natural person.

Section 13.6. Replacement of Certificates. Upon (i) receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of a certificate representing the Shares and (ii) in the case of any
such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, upon delivery of an
indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form to the Company
(which shall not include the positing of any bond) or (iii) in the case of any
such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such certificate, the Company
at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new certificate of

other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any
person claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on account of services
purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in
connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 13.9. Publicity. The Company agrees that it will not issue any press
release or other public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the prior consent of the Investors, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld nor delayed by more than two (2) Trading Days from their
receipt of such proposed release. No release shall name the Investors without
