     The Company proposes to issue and sell Series 1 Secured Bridge Notes (the
"Securities") resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,500,000
(the "Offering") in a transaction not involving a public offering and without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), pursuant
to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act under Section 4(2)
of the Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Act ("Regulation D"). Agent
has offered to assist the Company to structure the Offering and the Securities,
and introduce the Company to prospective investors on a "best efforts basis."
The Company desires to secure the services of Agent on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.

                                    Agreement

     For and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree:

                         Section 1. Engagement of Agent.

     Section 3.4. Appointment. The Company hereby appoints Agent as its
exclusive agent in connection with the proposed issuance and sale by the Company
of securities resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,500,000.
Agent, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, and
upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, accepts such
appointment. This appointment shall be irrevocable for the period commencing
March 16, 1999 and ending upon the first to occur of (i) the completion or
termination of the Offering hereunder or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days from
the date hereof, which period maybe extended by the consent of the Company and
Agent (the "Offering Period").

     Section 3.4. Compensation. The Company shall pay to Agent at each Closing a
finder's fee of seven percent (7 %) of the gross proceeds derived from the
offer, sale, and issuance of the Securities or any other securities issued by
the Company issued by the Company during the Offering Period (the "Gross
Proceeds"). Additionally, Agent shall receive a warrant (the "Placement Agent

right to purchase Common Stock equivalent to five percent (5%) of the total
amount raised by the Agent under the Offering.

     Section 3.5. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the
out-of-pocket expenses of Agent including the fees and expenses of counsel to

<PAGE>


of such fees and expenses shall be deducted by Escrow Agent from the proceeds of
the issuance and sale of the Securities.

     Section 1.4. Limited Role of Agent. Agent has acted only as an advisor to
the Company, Agent has advised the Company on the structure of the Offering and
Securities, and has identified potential investors. The Company has offered the
Securities to the investors and has negotiated directly with the investors in
the Offering. Agent will use best efforts to introduce the Company only to
"accredited investors" as defined in Regulation D. Wherever possible Agent will
introduce the Company to prospective investors who are not "U.S. Persons," as
defined in Regulation S.

     Section 1.5. Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants Agent a
right of first refusal to act as placement agent for certain future private
financings of the Company, namely future offerings of (i) convertible securities
or (ii) debt securities, offered to non-employees of the Company, and applies to
any such transaction by the Company that is not contemplated to exceed
$1,500,000. The Agent's right of first refusal under this Section 1.5 shall
continue until the later to occur of one hundred eighty days following the final
Closing of the Offering or the date on which a registration of the Company's
Common Stock becomes effective. In the event that the Company wishes to
undertake a transaction described in this Section 1.5, the Company shall send
Agent a written notice of the proposed transaction (whether the transaction is
initiated by the Company or is offered to the Company by a third party) in
sufficient specificity to allow Agent to understand the proposed transaction
clearly. This notice must be delivered to Agent at least twenty days prior to
the proposed closing of the transaction. Agent shall have ten days from receipt
of that notice to determine whether or not it wishes to exercise its right of
first refusal with respect to that transaction. Agent shall notify the Company
in writing of its decision to exercise or waive its right of first refusal with
respect to the transaction described in the notice. If Agent waives its right of
first refusal with respect to a particular transaction, the Company may proceed
with that transaction, provided however, that if the terms of the transaction
are changed in any material way from the terms set forth in the notice to Agent,
Agent's right of first refusal shall commence again. Agent's waiver of its
rights of first refusal with respect to any specific transaction shall not act
as a waiver of its rights with respect to future transactions within the
applicable time period.

     Section 1.6. Confidentiality. The Company agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of all prospective investors identified to the Company by Agent,
except as required by applicable law. For a period of two (2) years from the

hereof or Section 1.6 hereof, Agent shall be entitled to receive compensation in
respect of the financing giving rise to the breach of this Agreement at the

application or other document filed in any state or jurisdiction in order to
qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or securities law thereof. This
indemnity agreement is in addition to any other liability which the Company may
otherwise have to Agent's Indemnitees. Agent's Indemnitees agree, within ten
(10) days after the receipt by them of written notice of the commencement of any
action against them in respect to which indemnity may be sought from the Company
under this Section 6.1, to notify the Company in writing of the commencement of
such action; provided however, that the failure of Agent's Indemnitees to notify
the Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability
which it may have to Agent's Indemnitees on account of the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6.1, and further shall not relieve the Company from
any other liability which it may have to Agent's Indemnitees, and if Agent's
Indemnitees shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company
shall be entitled to participate in (and, to the extent that the Company shall
wish, to direct) the defense thereof at its own expense, but such defense shall
be conducted by counsel of recognized standing and reasonably satisfactory to
Agent's Indemnitees, defendant or defendants, in such litigation. The Company
agrees to notify Agent's Indemnitees promptly of the commencement of any
litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of the Company's officers
or directors of which the Company may be advised in connection with the issue
and sale of any of the Securities and to furnish to Agent's Indemnitees, at
their request, to provide copies of all pleadings therein and to permit the
Company's Indemnitees to be observers therein and apprise Agent's Indemnitees of
all developments therein, all at the Company's expense.

     Section 6.2. Indemnification of Company. Agent agrees, in the same manner
and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.1 above, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, and the Company's and Company's employees, accountants,
attorneys, and agents (the "Company's Indemnitees") with respect to (a) any
statement in or omission from the Offering Documents or any amendment or
supplement thereto or any application or other document filed in any state or
jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or securities
laws thereof, or any information furnished pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, if
such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in
writing to the Company by Agent on its behalf specifically for use in connection
with the preparation thereof or supplement thereto, or (b) any untrue statement
of a material fact made by Agent or its agents not based on statements in the
Offering Documents or authorized in writing by the Company, or with respect to
any misleading statement made by Agent or its agents resulting from the omission
of material facts which misleading statement is not based upon the Offering
Documents, or information furnished in writing by the Company or, (c) any breach
of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by Agent in this Agreement.
Agent's liability hereunder shall be limited to the amount received by it for
acting as Agent in connection with the Offerings. Agent shall not be liable for
amounts paid in settlement of any such litigation if such settlement was
effected without its consent. In case of the commencement of any action in
respect of which indemnity may be sought from Agent, the Company's Indemnitees
shall have the same obligation to give notice as set forth in Section 6.1 above,


                                      -9-

subject to the same loss of indemnity in the event such notice is not given, and
Agent shall have the same right to participate in (and, to the extent that it
shall wish, to direct) the defense of such action at its own expense, but such
defense shall be conducted by counsel of recognized standing reasonably
satisfactory to the Company. Agent agrees to notify the Company's Indemnitees
and, at their request, to provide copies of all pleadings therein and to permit
the Company's Indemnitees to be observers therein and apprise them of all the
developments therein, all at Agent's expense.

     Section 7.1. Termination by Agent. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time during the Offering Period by Agent by written notice to the Company, if
the Company shall have failed or been unable to comply with any of the terms,
conditions, or provisions of the Transaction Agreements to be performed,
complied with, or fulfilled by the Company within the respective times, if any,
herein provided for, unless compliance therewith or performance or satisfaction
thereof shall have been expressly waived by Agent in writing.

     Section 7.2. Termination by Company. This Agreement may be terminated by
the Company at the conclusion of the Offering Period by notice to Agent if Agent

Agent within the respective times, if any, herein provided for, unless

     Section 7.3. Termination for Force Majeure Events. This Agreement may be
terminated by Agent by notice to the Company at any time, if, in the reasonable,

governmental restrictions not in force and effect on the date hereof shall have
been imposed upon trading in securities generally; (b) a war or other national
calamity shall have occurred; or (c) the condition of the market (either
generally or with reference to the sale of the Securities to be offered hereby)
or the condition of any matter affecting the Company or any other circumstance
is such that it would be undesirable, impracticable or inadvisable, in the
judgment of Agent, to proceed with this Agreement or with the Offering.

     Section 7.4. Termination without Liability. Any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 7 shall be without liability of any character
(including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits or consequential
damages) on the part of any party thereto, except that the Company shall remain
obligated to pay the costs and expenses provided to be paid by it specified in
Sections 1.3 and 5.2, and the Company and Agent shall be obligated to pay,
respectively, all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several,
under Section 6.1 in the case of the Company and Section 6.2 in the case of
Agent.
