                                    ADVANCES

         Section 2.1 Investments.

                  (a) Advances. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), on any
Advance Notice Date the Company may request an Advance by the Investor by the
delivery of an Advance Notice. The number of shares of Common Stock that the
Investor shall receive for each Advance shall be determined by dividing the
amount of the Advance by the Purchase Price. No fractional shares shall be
issued. Fractional shares shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of
shares. The aggregate maximum amount of all Advances that the Investor shall be
obligated to make under this Agreement shall not exceed the Commitment Amount.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall only be
entitled to an Advance if the Company's Common Stock has an active bid at all
times during the Pricing Period.

                  (c) The Company acknowledges that the Investor may sell the
Company's Common Stock purchased pursuant to an Advance Notice during the
corresponding Pricing Period.

         Section 2.2 Mechanics.

                  (a) Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period,
the Company may deliver an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, unless waived by the
Investor, the amount for each Advance as designated by the Company in the
applicable Advance Notice, shall not be more than the Maximum Advance Amount.
The aggregate amount of the Advances pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed


                                       4
<PAGE>

the Commitment Amount, unless otherwise agreed by the Investor in the Investor's
sole and absolute discretion. The Company acknowledges that the Investor may
sell shares of the Company's Common Stock corresponding with a particular
Advance Notice on the day the Advance Notice is received by the Investor. There
will be a minimum of seven (7) Trading Days between each Advance Notice Date.

                  (b) Withdrawal of Advance Notice. The Company shall
automatically withdraw a pro rata portion of the Advance Notice amount based on
the number of days the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock (as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P.) during the Pricing Period is lower than the Minimum
Acceptable Price. The shares of Common Stock issued shall also be reduced to
correspond with the reduction in the Advance Notice amount. For example, if the
closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on the Advance Notice Date is
$0.26, and the Minimum Acceptable Price as determined by the Company is $0.16.
For every day during the Pricing Period that the closing bid price of the
Company's Common Stock is below $0.16 the Advance Notice amount shall be reduced
by Twenty Percent (20%). If the Advance Notice amount is One Hundred Seventy
Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) and the closing bid price of the Company's
Common Stock is below the Minimum Acceptable Price for two (2) of the five (5)
days of the Pricing Period, the Purchase Amount shall be reduced by 40% (2 x
20%) or Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000) (40% of $175,000 = $70,000) and
therefore the reduced Advance Notice amount shall be One Hundred Five Thousand
Dollars ($105,000) (the "Reduced Advance Notice amount") ($175,000-$70,000 =
$105,000). Accordingly the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the
Investor shall be reduced and calculated by dividing the Reduced Advance Notice
amount by the Purchase Price.

                  (c) Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. An Advance Notice
shall be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by facsimile or
otherwise by the Investor if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon Eastern
Time, or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day if it is received by
facsimile or otherwise after 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Trading Day or at any
time on a day which is not a Trading Day. No Advance Notice may be deemed
delivered, on a day that is not a Trading Day.

                  (d) Pre-Closing Share Credit. Within two (2) business days
after the Advance Notice Date, the Company shall credit shares of the Company's
Common Stock to the Investor's balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, in an amount equal to the
amount of the requested Advance divided by the closing Bid Price of the
Company's Common Stock as of the Advance Notice Date multiplied by one point one
(1.1). Any adjustments to the number of shares to be delivered to the Investor
at the Closing as a result of fluctuations in the closing Bid Price of the
Company's Common Stock shall be made as of the date of the Closing. Any excess
shares shall be credited to the next Advance. In no event shall the number of
shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the Investor to own
in excess of nine and 9/10 percent (9.9%) of the then outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.

                  (e) Hardship. In the event the Investor sells the Company's
Common Stock pursuant to subsection (c) above and the Company fails to perform
its obligations as mandated in Section 2.5 and 2.2 (c), and specifically fails
to provide the Investor with the shares of Common Stock for the applicable
Advance, the Company acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial
hardship and therefore shall be liable for any and all losses, commissions,
fees, or financial hardship caused to the Investor.

         Section 2.3 Closings. On each Advance Date, which shall be six (6)
Trading Days after an Advance Notice Date, (i) the Company shall deliver to the
Investor 's Counsel, as defined pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shares of the
Company's Common Stock, representing the amount of the Advance by the Investor
pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, registered in the name of the Investor which
shall be delivered to the Investor, or otherwise in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement and (ii) the Investor shall deliver to Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the
"Escrow Agent") the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice by
wire transfer of immediately available funds which shall be delivered to the
Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In addition, on
or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver
to the other through the Investor's Counsel all documents, instruments and
writings required to be delivered or reasonably requested by either of them
pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions
contemplated herein. Payment of funds to the Company and delivery of the
Company's Common Stock to the Investor shall occur in accordance with the
conditions set forth above and those contai ned in the Escrow Agreement;
provided, however, that to the extent the Company has not paid the fees,
expenses, and disbursements of the Investor, the Investor's counsel in
accordance with Section 12.4, the amount of such fees, expenses, and
disbursements may be deducted by the Investor (and shall be paid to the relevant
party) from the amount of the Advance with no reduction in the amount of shares
of the Company's Common Stock to be delivered on such Advance Date.

         Section 2.4 Termination of Investment. The obligation of the Investor
to make an Advance to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate
permanently (including with respect to an Advance Date that has not yet
occurred) in the event that (i) there shall occur any stop order or suspension
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for an aggregate of fifty
(50) Trading Days, other than due to the acts of the Investor, during the
Commitment Period, and (ii) the Company shall at any time fail materially to
comply with the requirements of Article VI and such failure is not cured within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Investor, provided,
however, that this termination provision shall not apply to any period
commencing upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration
Statement and ending upon the date on which such post effective amendment is
declared effective by the SEC.

         Section 2.5 Agreement to Advance Funds.

                  (a) The Investor agrees to advance the amount specified in the

delivered by the Investor and, assuming the execution and delivery hereof and

Investor understands that its investment involves a high degree of risk. The
Investor is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such
Investor to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits
and risks of this investment. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and
tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment

or prior to each Condition Satisfaction Date.

                  (e) No Injunction. No statute, rule, regulation, executive
order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and adversely affects any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no proceeding shall have been
commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or adversely affecting any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (f) No Suspension of Trading in or Delisting of Common Stock.
The trading of the Common Stock is not suspended by the SEC or the Principal
Market (if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal Market). The issuance of
shares of Common Stock with respect to the applicable Closing, if any, shall not
violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market (if the
Common Stock is traded on a Principal market). The Company shall not have
received any notice threatening the continued listing of the Common Stock on the
Principal Market (if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal Market).

                  (g) Maximum Advance Amount. The amount of the individual
Advance requested by the Company does not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount
unless waived by the Investor. In addition, in no event shall the number of
shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the Investor to own
in excess of nine and 9/10 percent (9.9%) of the then outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.

                  (h) No Knowledge. The Company has no knowledge of any event
more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration Statement
to be suspended or otherwise ineffective.

                  (i) Other. On each Condition Satisfaction Date, the Investor
shall have received and been reasonably satisfied with such other certificates
and documents as shall have been reasonably requested by the Investor in order
for the Investor to confirm the Company's satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in this Section 7.2, including, without limitation, a certificate executed
by an executive officer of the Company and to the effect that all the conditions
to such Closing shall have been satisfied as at the date of each such
certificate substantially in the form annexed hereto on Exhibit A.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
         DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW; NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

         Section 8.1 Due Diligence Review. Prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement the Company shall make available for inspection and
review by the Investor, advisors to and representatives of the Investor, any
underwriter participating in any disposition of the Registrable Securities on
behalf of the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, any such
registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or any blue sky, NASD
or other filing, all financial and other records, all SEC Documents and other
filings with the SEC, and all other 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 information
reasonably requested by the Investor 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
Investor 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 non-public information to
the Investor, advisors to or representatives of the Investor unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being
non-public information and provides the Investor, such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Investor.

                  (b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and
the Company represents that it does not disseminate 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,
immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor 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 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


                                       20
<PAGE>

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 Investor (without
the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) 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 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.

                                   ARTICLE IX.
                           CHOICE OF LAW/JURISDICTION

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

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.

                                   ARTICLE X.

Advance s under Article II hereof shall terminate twenty-four (24) months after
the Effective Date.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                     NOTICES
