covenants with the Company as follows:

            4.1.  Organization.  Buyer  is  a  limited  liability  company  duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. The
Buyer has all requisite  power and  authority to execute,  deliver and carry out

not, and the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby will not,
constitute a breach or violation of the charter or bylaws of Buyer, or a default
under any of the terms,  conditions or provisions of (or an act or omission that
would give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under)
any material note, bond, mortgage, lease, indenture,  agreement or obligation to

            4.3. Securities Laws.

investment  purposes and not with a view to the sale or distribution,  by public

selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing or disposing of
any of the Series A Preferred Stock.

                  (b) Investment Representations. The Buyer has been offered the
opportunity  to ask  questions  of,  and  receive  answers  from  the  Company's
management,  and the  Buyer  has been  given  full and  complete  access  to all
available  information  and data  relating  to the  business  and  assets of the
Company and has obtained such  additional  information  about the Company as the
Buyer  has  deemed  necessary  in  order to  evaluate  the  opportunities,  both

type of risks inherent in the  acquisition  of securities  such as the shares of

period of time  without  realizing  any direct or  indirect  cash  return on its
investment.

            9.2. Defense of Claims.

                  (a)  Each  party   seeking   indemnification   hereunder   (an
"Indemnitee"):  (i) shall provide the other party or parties (the  "Indemnitor")
written  notice of any claim or action by a third party for which an  Indemnitor
may be liable under the terms of this Agreement, within ten (10) days after such
claim or action  arises  and is known to  Indemnitee,  and (ii)  shall  give the
Indemnitor a reasonable  opportunity to participate  in any  proceedings  and to
settle or defend any such  claim or action.  The  expenses  of all  proceedings,
contests or lawsuits  with  respect to such claims or actions  shall be borne by
the Indemnitor.  If the Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of such claim or
action,  the Indemnitor  shall give written notice to the Indemnitee  within ten
(10) days after  notice  from the  Indemnitee  of such claim or action,  and the
Indemnitor shall  thereafter  assume the defense of any such claim or liability,
through  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to  the  Indemnitee,  provided  that
Indemnitee  may  participate  in such  defense  at their  own  expense,  and the
Indemnitor  shall,  in any event,  have the right to control  the defense of the
claim or action.  The failure of an  Indemnitee  to give any notice  required by
this Section  shall not affect any of such party's  rights under this Section or
otherwise, except and to the extent that such failure is actually prejudicial to
the rights or obligations of the Indemnitor.

                  (b) If the  Indemnitor  shall not assume the defense of, or if
after so  assuming  it shall  fail to  defend,  any such  claim or  action,  the
Indemnitee  may defend  against  any such claim or action in such manner as they
may deem  appropriate and the Indemnitees may settle such claim or litigation on
such  terms  as they  may  deem  appropriate  but  subject  to the  Indemnitor's
approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that
any such settlement shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor
fails to object  thereto,  by written notice to the  Indemnitee,  within fifteen
(15)  days  after  the  Indemnitor's  receipt  of  a  written  summary  of  such
settlement.  The  Indemnitor  shall  promptly  reimburse the  Indemnitee for the
amount of all  expenses,  legal and  otherwise,  incurred by the  Indemnitee  in
connection with the defense and settlement of such claim or action.

                  (c) If a  non-appealable  judgment  is  rendered  against  any
Indemnitee in any action covered by the indemnification  hereunder,  or any lien
attaches to any of the assets of any of the  Indemnitee,  the  Indemnitor  shall
immediately upon such entry or attachment pay such judgment in full or discharge
such lien unless,  at the expense and direction of the Indemnitor,  an appeal is
taken under which the execution of the judgment or  satisfaction  of the lien is
stayed.  If and  when a final  judgment  is  rendered  in any such  action,  the
Indemnitor  shall  forthwith pay such judgment or discharge such lien before any
Indemnitee is compelled to do so.

            9.3. Waiver.  The failure of any Indemnitee to give any notice or to
take any action  hereunder  shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of
such  Indemnitee  hereunder,  except to the extent that  Indemnitor  is actually
prejudiced by such failure.

      10. TERMINATION.

            10.1.  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time on

indemnifications  of the parties  contained in this  Agreement or in any writing
delivered  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall  survive  any

of the  transactions  contemplated  herein and shall  continue in full force and
effect after the Closing.

            11.3. Counterparts;  Interpretation.  This Agreement may be executed
in any number of  counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original,  and
all of which  shall  constitute  one and the  same  instrument.  This  Agreement
supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect
to the subject  matter hereof,  and this Agreement  contains the sole and entire
agreement  among the parties with  respect to the matters  covered  hereby.  All
Schedules hereto shall be deemed a part of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall
not be altered or amended  except by an  instrument  in writing  signed by or on
behalf of all of the parties hereto.  No ambiguity in any provision hereof shall
be construed  against a party by reason of the fact it was drafted by such party
or its counsel. For purposes of this Agreement: "herein", "hereby", "hereunder",
"herewith",  "hereafter"  and  "hereinafter"  refer  to  this  Agreement  in its
entirety,  and not to any  particular  subsection  or  paragraph.  References to
"including"  means including  without limiting the generality of any description
preceding such term. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended,
or shall be construed,  to confer upon or give any person other than the parties
hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

            11.4.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by and
interpreted  in  accordance  with the laws of the  State of New  Jersey  without
regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any
action between them shall be heard exclusively in Hudson County, New Jersey, and
expressly  consent to the  jurisdiction  and venue of the Superior  Court of New
Jersey,  sitting in Hudson  County,  New Jersey and the United  States  District
Court of New Jersey,  sitting in Newark, New Jersey, for the adjudication of any
civil action asserted pursuant to this paragraph.  Each party hereby irrevocably
waives,  to the  fullest  extent it may  effectively  do so,  the  defense of an
inconvenient  forum to the  maintenance of any such action in the forum selected
hereby.

            11.5.  Successors and Assigns;  Assignment.  This Agreement shall be
binding  upon and shall  inure to the  benefit of the  parties  hereto and their
respective heirs, executors,  legal representatives,  and successors;  provided,
however, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder,
in whole or in part.

            11.6.   Partial   Invalidity  and   Severability.   All  rights  and
restrictions  contained  herein may be  exercised  and shall be  applicable  and
binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable  laws and are
intended to be limited to the extent  necessary to render this Agreement  legal,
valid and  enforceable.  If any terms of this  Agreement  not  essential  to the
commercial  purpose of this  Agreement  shall be held to be illegal,  invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent  jurisdiction,  it is the intention of the
parties that the remaining  terms hereof shall  constitute  their agreement with
respect to the subject matter hereof and all such  remaining  terms shall remain
in full  force and  effect.  To the extent  legally  permissible,  any  illegal,
invalid or  unenforceable  provision  of this  Agreement  shall be replaced by a
valid  provision  which will  implement the  commercial  purpose of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision.

            11.7.  Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived
at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefit  thereof,  but only if
such waiver is  evidenced by a writing  signed by such party.  No failure on the
part of a party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power
or remedy created  hereunder,  shall operate as a waiver thereof,  nor shall any
single or  partial  exercise  of any  right,  power or remedy by any such  party
preclude any other future  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or  remedy.  No waiver by any party  hereto to any breach of or default in
any term or condition of this Agreement  shall  constitute a waiver of or assent
to any  succeeding  breach  of or  default  in the  same  or any  other  term or
condition hereof.

            11.8. Headings. The headings as to contents of particular paragraphs
of this Agreement are inserted for  convenience  only and shall not be construed
as a part of this  Agreement  or as a  limitation  on the  scope of any terms or
provisions of this Agreement.

            11.9. Expenses.

                  11.9.1.  Legal Fees.  Except as otherwise  expressly  provided
herein,  all legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Buyer or
the Company as each party incurs such expenses.

                  11.9.2.  Structuring Fees. The Company shall pay to the Buyer,
directly  out of the  Purchase  Price,  a fee of $17,500  for  structuring  this
transaction.  The fee shall be deemed fully  earned on the date hereof,  and the
payment shall be offset against the Purchase Price.

                  11.9.3.  Commitment  Fees.  The Company shall pay to Yorkville
Advisors  Management,  LLC and Stone Street Asset Management LLC commitment fees
of 8% and 2%, respectively,  of the Purchase Price. The commitment fees shall be
deemed fully earned on the date hereof,  and the payment shall be offset against
the Purchase Price.

            11.10.  Finder's Fees.  The Buyer  represents to the Company that no
broker,  agent, finder or other party has been retained by it in connection with
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby and that no other fee or commission  has
been  agreed  by the  Buyer to be paid  for or on  account  of the  transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company represents to the Buyer that no broker,  agent,
finder or other party has been  retained by the Company in  connection  with the
transactions  contemplated  hereby and that no other fee or commission  has been
agreed  by the  Company  to be  paid  for  or on  account  of  the  transactions

accordance with GAAP.

            11.13.   Acceptance  by  Fax.  This  Agreement  shall  be  accepted,
effective and binding, for all purposes,  when the parties shall have signed and
transmitted to each other,  by telecopier or otherwise,  copies of the signature
pages hereto.

            11.14.  Attorneys  Fees. If any legal action or other  proceeding is
brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute,
breach,  default or  misrepresentation  in connection with any provision of this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  party  shall  be  entitled  to  recover  reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and all expenses  (including,  without  limitation,
all  such  fees,   costs  and  expenses   incident  to  appellate,   bankruptcy,
post-judgment and alternative dispute resolution proceedings),  incurred in that
action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be
entitled.

            11.15. NO JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY,  VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
OF ANY  LITIGATION  BASED HEREON OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION  WITH
THIS  AGREEMENT  AND ANY  DOCUMENT  CONTEMPLATED  TO BE EXECUTED IN  CONJUNCTION
HEREWITH,  OR ANY COURSE OF  CONDUCT,  COURSE OF  DEALING,  STATEMENTS  (WHETHER
VERBAL OR  WRITTEN)  OR  ACTIONS  OF ANY  PARTY.  THIS  PROVISION  IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES' ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
