undelivered and (ii) the Bid Price on the Receipt Date, and two percent of the
product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock undelivered and (ii) the Bid
Price on the Receipt Date, for every day after the Ten-Day Period that the

penalties. The parties further acknowledge that the amount of loss or damages
likely to be incurred in the event of a failure to deliver unlegended, freely
tradable shares of Common Stock cannot be precisely estimated, and the parties
are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated
and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's
length. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company does not
deliver unlegended Common Stock in connection with the sale of such Common Stock

shares, and (ii) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the Receipt Date,
undelivered for every day thereafter that the unlegended shares of Common Stock
are not delivered. Any and all payments required pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable only in cash, and any payment hereunder shall not relieve the
Company of its delivery obligations under this Section.

duly incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Minnesota and has all requisite corporate authority to own its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted except as described in the SEC
Documents. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business
and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the
business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary,
other than those (individually or in the aggregate) in which the failure so to
qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company is not in violation of any material terms of its Articles of
Incorporation (as defined below) or Bylaws (as defined below).

     Section 4.2   Authority. (i) The Company has the requisite corporate power
                   ---------

similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors'
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
Upon their issuance and delivery pursuant to this Agreement, the Preferred
Stock, the New Common Shares, the Warrants and the Securities issuable will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of any liens or
encumbrances other than those created hereunder or by the actions of the
Investors; provided, however, that the aforementioned securities are subject to
           --------  -------
restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws. The
issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock, the New Common Shares, the Warrants
and the Securities hereunder will not give rise to any preemptive right or right
of first refusal or right of participation on behalf of any Person.

Stock are entitled to preemptive or similar rights. Except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Documents and Schedule 4.3 hereto, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or, except as a result of the purchase and sale of the

with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may
be, and rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and none of the
SEC Documents contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC

Stock, the New Common Shares, the Warrant Shares, the Additional Shares, or the
Underlying Shares, issued or issuable hereunder, or any of the assets of the
Company, or (ii) entitle the holders of Outstanding Capital Shares to preemptive
or other rights to subscribe to or acquire any Capital Shares or other
securities of the Company.

Agreement shall not exceed the number of such shares which, when aggregated with
all other shares of Common Stock then owned by any of the Investors, would
result in any of the Investors owning more than 4.99% of the then issued and
outstanding Common Stock at any one time.

     The preceding paragraph shall not interfere with any Investor's right to
convert Preferred Stock over time which in the aggregate totals more than 4.99%

own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock at any given time. The

respects with the terms thereof.

     Section 6.2   Reservation of Common Stock.  As of the date hereof, the
                   ---------------------------
Company has authorized and reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve
and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy any obligation to issue
the New Common Shares, Additional Shares, Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares;
such amount of shares of Common Stock to be reserved shall be calculated based
upon the Purchase Price therefor under the terms of this Agreement, the
Certificate of Designation, and Warrants. 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 so obligated to issue by reason
of adjustments to the Preferred Stock, the New Common Shares and the Warrants.

Warrants, (b) take all steps necessary to cause such shares to be approved for
listing on the Principal Market (as well as on any other national securities
exchange, market or trading facility on which the Common Stock is then listed)
as soon as possible thereafter, and (c) provide to the Investors evidence of
such listing, and the Company shall maintain the listing of its Common Stock on
such exchange or market for so long as the Registrable Securities, the Preferred
Stock, the New Common Shares and/or the Warrants are owned by the Investors. In
addition, if at any time the number of (i) shares of Common Stock issuable on
conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, on account of
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise in full of the Warrants and the number of New Common Shares issued on
the Closing Date is greater than the number of shares of Common Stock
theretofore listed with the Principal Market (and any such other national
securities exchange, market or trading facility), the Company shall promptly
take such action (including the actions described in the preceding sentence), if
required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, to file
an additional shares listing application with the Principal Market (and any such
other national securities exchange, market or trading facility) covering at
least a number of shares equal to the sum of (x) 200% of (A) the number of
Underlying Shares as would then be issuable upon a conversion in full of the
shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) the number of Underlying Shares as would be
issuable as payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, (y) the number of
Warrant Shares as would be issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrants, and

warrants that it (i) has not received any notice, oral or written, affecting its
continued listing on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, and (ii) is in full
compliance with the requirements for continued listing on the NASD OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board. The Company will take no action which would impact
its continued listing or the eligibility of the Company for such listing. The
Company will comply with the listing and trading requirements of its Common
Stock on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (and of any then Principal
Market) and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market. In the
event the Company receives notification from Nasdaq or any other controlling
entity stating that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
qualifications of such Principal Market, the Company will immediately thereafter
give written notice to each Investor and take all action necessary to bring the
Company within compliance with all applicable listing standards of the Principal
Market.

"Consolidation Event") unless the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if
not the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the
Investors such shares of stock and/or securities as the Investors are entitled

requirement, seeking shareholder approval of the below market issuances of
shares of Common Stock (and securities convertible into and exercisable for
Common Stock) to the Investors of 20% or more of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of the Subscription Date. In the event that the
aforementioned proposal is not so approved within such 60 calendar day period,
the Company shall seek a waiver from the Principal Market for such below market
issuances. In the event the Company does not receive such waiver within the
earlier of ten calendar days after the aforementioned shareholders meeting, or
70 calendar days after becoming subject to such requirement, the Company will
repurchase from the Investors based on the Redemption Price (as defined in the
Certificate of Designation) that number of shares of Preferred Stock which would

Shares for assets, stock, or joint venture interest, (c) an offering of any of

any additional share or shares of Preferred Stock.

     Section 6.16  Increase in Authorized Shares.  At such time as the Company
                   -----------------------------
would be, if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to be
delivered on such date, precluded from (a) converting in full all of the shares
of Preferred Stock that remain unconverted at such date (and paying any accrued
but unpaid dividends in respect thereof in shares of Common Stock), or (b)
honoring the exercise in full of the Warrants, due to the unavailability of a
sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued or re-acquired Common
Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly (and in any case
within 60 calendar days from such date) hold a shareholders meeting in which the
shareholders would vote for authorization to amend the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
is authorized to issue to at least a number of shares equal to the sum of (i)
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on account of all outstanding warrants, options and convertible
securities (other than the Preferred Stock and the Warrants) and on account of

plan, (iii) 200% of the number of Underlying Shares as would then be issuable
upon a conversion in full of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and
as payment of all future dividends thereon in shares of Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation,
and (iv) such number of Warrant Shares as would then be issuable upon the
exercise in full of the Warrants. In connection therewith, the Board of
Directors shall (x) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase, (y)
recommend to its shareholders, and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly
and duly obtain shareholder approval to carry out such resolutions and (z)
within five Business Days of obtaining such shareholder authorization, file an
appropriate amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to evidence
such increase.

                   ------------------
notice to each of the Investors of any breach by it of any representation,
covenant, warranty or other agreement contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit
annexed hereto, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date
hereof, which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation, covenant,
or warranty or other agreement of the Company, contained in this Agreement or
any Exhibit annexed hereto, to be incorrect or breached as of such Closing Date.
However, no disclosure by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be deemed
to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained
in this Agreement or any

                                     -21-

Exhibit annexed hereto. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall promptly notify each Investor of any notice or claim (written or
oral) that it receives from any lender of the Company to the effect that the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Exhibit
annexed hereto, violates or would violate any written agreement or understanding
between such lender and the Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish by
facsimile to each Investor a copy of any written statement in support of or
relating to such claim or notice.

Intellectual Property Rights, except that the Company may do so in connection
with the proposed sale of BHT or other assets constituting less than 5% of the
Company's total assets based on the value of such assets as disclosed in the
Company's most recently filed SEC Documents, or allow the Intellectual Property
Rights to become subject to any Liens, or fail to renew such Intellectual
Property Rights (if renewable and would otherwise expire).

Investors, or advisors to or representatives of, the Investors unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being

     The New Common Shares, Underlying Shares, Additional Shares and/or Warrant
Shares shall not contain the legend set forth above or any other restrictive
legend (other than as pursuant to the Registration Statement) if the conversion
of the Preferred Stock, exercise of the Warrants or other issuances of the New
Common Shares, the Underlying Shares, the Additional Shares, and/or the Warrant

Registration Statement at such time, if in the opinion of counsel to the Company
such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the SEC). The Company agrees that it will provide the Investors, upon request,
with a certificate or certificates representing New Common Shares, Underlying

time as such legend is no longer required hereunder. The Company may not take
any action or make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions of transfer set
forth in this Section.

     Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Company is issuing to the
transfer agent for its Common Stock (and to any substitute or replacement
transfer agent for its Common Stock upon the Company's appointment of any such
substitute or replacement transfer agent) instructions in substantially the form
of Exhibit F hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from

otherwise expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. It is the
intent and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the
transfer agent for the Common Stock from time to time upon transfer of
Registrable Securities by the Investors to issue certificates evidencing such
Registrable Securities free of the Legend during the following periods and under
the following circumstances and except as provided below, without consultation
by the transfer agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for
any further advice or instruction or documentation to the transfer agent by or
from the Company or its counsel or the Investors:

or more certificates evidencing the Warrants, the Preferred Stock, the New
Common Shares, the Underlying Shares or the Warrant Shares that bear the
aforementioned Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the
issuance of new certificates free of the aforementioned legend to replace those
surrendered; provided that (i) the Registration Statement shall then be
effective; (ii) the Investor(s) confirm to the transfer agent that it has sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer
such Common Stock in a bona fide transaction to a third party that is not an
affiliate of the Company; and (iii) the Investor(s) confirm to the transfer
agent that the Investor(s) have complied with the prospectus delivery
requirement; or

             (b)   at any time upon any surrender of one or more certificates
evidencing Registrable Securities, that bear the aforementioned Legend, to the
extent accompanied by a notice requesting the issuance of new certificates free
of such legend to replace those surrendered and containing representations that
(i) the Investor(s) is permitted to dispose of such Registrable Securities,
without limitation as to amount or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act (or any other similar exemption as may then be in effect), or
(ii) the Investor(s) has sold, pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to
sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Registrable Securities, in a manner

                   ----------------------------------
construed and enforced in accordance with and governed exclusively by the laws
of the State of New York, except for matters arising under the Securities Act,
without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court sitting in the
Southern District of the State of New York sitting in Manhattan in connection
with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum
                                                                         -----
non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions.
--- ----------
Each party hereby agrees that if another party to this Agreement obtains a
judgment against it in such a proceeding, the party which obtained such judgment
may enforce same by summary judgment in the courts of any country having
jurisdiction over the party against whom such judgment was obtained, and each
party hereby waives any defenses available to it under local law and agrees to
the enforcement of such a judgment. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of
copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party
at its address set forth herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any
party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party waives
its right to a trial by jury. In the event that any Investor, or any person
claimed to be affiliated or associated with such Investor becomes involved in
any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against
any such person, including shareholders of the Company, in connection with or as
a result of any matter referred to in this Agreement or any exhibit annexed
hereto, the Company shall reimburse such Investor and/or those claimed to be
affiliated or associated with such Investor for its legal fees and expenses and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)
incurred in connection therewith, as those fees and expenses are incurred,
provided, however, that if at the conclusion of such action, proceeding or
investigation it shall be finally judicially determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, without availability of an appeal, that indemnity for such fees
and expenses is contrary to law, or that such Investor is not the prevailing
party then in that event, such Investor and/or any other person having received
such advances of fees and/or expenses shall reimburse the Company in full for
the sums advanced.

     Section 11.2  Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
                   ---------------
harmless each of the Investors and each officer, director of the Investors or
person, if any, who controls the Investors within the meaning of the Securities
Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which
shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all
costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), to which the
Investors may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon the breach by the Company of any term of this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

     Each Investor severally (and not jointly) agrees that it will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each officer, director of the Company or person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all
purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense
and investigation and all attorneys' fees) to which the Company or any such
officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the breach by such
Person of any term of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which the Investors or any subsequent assignee
may otherwise have.

     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than as to
the particular item as to which indemnification is then being sought solely
pursuant to this Section. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated
and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the
indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the
indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that if the indemnified party is
one of the Investors, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized in writing by the

                                     -28-
<PAGE>

indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Investors and the indemnifying party and the
Investors shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict
with any legal defenses which may be available to the Investors (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of the Investors, it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable
fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the Investor(s), which
firm shall be designated in writing by the Investor(s)). No settlement of any
action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

     Section 11.3  Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable
                   ------------
contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) the indemnified
party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof but is
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of
competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the
last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 11.2 hereof
provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party, then the
Company and the applicable Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for
all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of
defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), in either such case (after
contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in Section 11.2 shall be deemed to include
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contributions from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     Section 11.4  Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and
                   ------------------------------------------------------------
Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Registration
-----------------
Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's
right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate
of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein and therein with
respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall
be the amounts to be received by the Investors thereof and shall not, except as
expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or
the performance thereof). The

                                     -29-
<PAGE>

Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Preferred Stock and
that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Furthermore, the
Company agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Sections
6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 8.1 or 12.6 herein or Section V of the Certificate of
Designation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach or
threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

     Section 12.3  Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties,
                   ----------------------
covenants and agreements of the parties hereto shall survive the Closing
hereunder. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or

provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially
changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

                                 ------------

                             5% BENEFICIAL OWNERS
                             --------------------

          1.   One Person (or group of Persons) has recently exceeded (or is
about to exceed) a 5% beneficial ownership of shares of the Company's Common
Stock outstanding that has not been previously disclosed. In November 1999 the
Company sold Common Stock in the amount of $500,000 at $4.00 per share to
Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc., John M. Liviakis and Renee A. Liviakis
(collectively, "Liviakis Group") and entered into an amendment to its Consulting
Agreement with Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. The shares of Common
Stock have not been issued for these transactions but when such issuances occur,
the Company expects the Liviakis Group's beneficial ownership of the Company's
Common Stock to exceed 5%. Attorneys for the Liviakis Group presently are
preparing the necessary forms for filing the required SEC documents.
