         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

I.       SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES; REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER

         1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and
the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber, at the Offering Price,
1,666,666 Shares of Common Stock. The Offering Price is payable by wire transfer
to the Company in accordance with instructions to be given by the Company to the
Subscriber at the time the Shares are subscribed for. Certificates evidencing
the Shares will be issued to the Subscriber as soon as practicable after receipt
and collection by the Company of payment for the Purchased Shares and
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 hereof.

         1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Shares entails
elements of risk in that (i) it may not be able to readily liquidate its
investment; (ii) transferability is restricted; and (iii) in the event of a
disposition, it could sustain the loss of its entire investment.

         1.3 The Subscriber represents that it is neither a citizen, resident or
domiciliary of the United States of America, its territories or possessions, nor
of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

         1.4 The Subscriber acknowledges that it has prior investment experience
such that it is able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the
Company, or that it has employed the services of an investment advisor to read
the Disclosure Documents (as hereinafter defined) and to evaluate the merits and
risks of such an investment on its behalf; that it recognizes the speculative
nature of this investment; and that it is able to bear the economic risk it
hereby assumes. The Company's (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), and its (ii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended
March 31, 2003, as filed with the SEC, are collectively referred to as the
"Disclosure Documents." The Subscriber acknowledges that it or its
representative(s) have read the Disclosure Documents. The Subscriber also
acknowledges that it and its representative(s) have been afforded the
opportunity to make, and has made, all inquiries as it and its representatives
deemed appropriate with respect to the Company's affairs and prospects.

         1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that (i) the Offering and the
sale of the Shares have not been reviewed by the SEC by reason of the Company's
intention that the Offering be a transaction exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof; (ii) the issuance of the Shares
has not been qualified under any state securities laws on the grounds that the
Offering and the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby are exempt therefrom;
and (iii) the foregoing exemptions are predicated on the Subscriber's
representations set forth herein. The Subscriber represents that the Shares are
being purchased for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof,
within the meaning of the Act or applicable state securities laws. The
Subscriber understands that the Shares, upon their issuance, will not be
registered under the Act and may be required to be held indefinitely unless they
are subsequently registered under the Act, or an exemption from such
registration is available.

         1.6 The Subscriber represents that it is an "accredited investor" as
that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

         1.7 The Subscriber acknowledges that the certificate representing the
Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

                  "The shares of Common Stock represented by this
                  certificate have not been registered under the U.S.
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
                  sold, offered for sale, assigned, transferred or
                  otherwise disposed of to any person or entity who is
                  a citizen, resident or domiciliary of the United
                  States of America, its territories or possessions, or
                  of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, unless registered
                  pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion
                  of counsel to the Company is obtained stating that
                  such disposition is in compliance with an available
                  exemption from such registration."

         1.8 The Subscriber represents that it has the full right, power and
authority to enter into and perform the Subscriber's obligations hereunder, and
this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that (i) any enforcement may be
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally and
(ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of
the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.

II.      REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY

         The Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber as follows:

         2.1 The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the
corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
conduct the business which it presently conducts. The Company is duly qualified
as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except for such

jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not
have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or on
the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the
Company.

         2.2 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company (a) has been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company and all other necessary corporate action on the part of the Company
in connection therewith has been taken and (b) will not conflict with or
constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the
Company pursuant to (i) the charter documents or by-laws of the Company, (ii)
any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it may be
bound or to which any of its properties may be subject or (iii) any law,
administrative regulation or court decree applicable to or binding upon the
Company. This Agreement has ben duly and validly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company,

equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of
the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.

Directors of the Company, but a sufficient number of unissued shares of Common
Stock has not as yet been authorized by the Company in accordance with
applicable Delaware law nor has the sale of the Shares to the Subscriber been
approved by the Company's stockholders pursuant to the rules of the American
Stock Exchange Inc. The Company covenants and agrees to convene a special
meeting of its stockholders on or before December 31, 2003 to consider and vote
upon proposals to (i) increase the authorized shares of Common Stock of the
Company to not less than one hundred million (100,000,000) in number, and (ii)
approve the sale of the Shares to the Subscriber, and will exert its
commercially reasonable best efforts to cause a majority in equity interest of
its stockholders to vote in favor of each such proposal thereat. No
authorization, approval or consent of any court, governmental authority or
agency is necessary in connection with the issuance by the Company of the
Shares.

         2.4 The Disclosure Documents are true, correct and complete in all
material respects, and do not contain an untrue statement of material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

         2.5 Since the respective dates as of which information was given in the
Disclosure Documents, except as otherwise stated therein: (i) there has been no
material adverse change in the financial condition, or in the results of
operations, affairs or prospects of the Company, whether or not arising in the
ordinary course of business; and (ii) there have been no transactions entered
into by the Company, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which
are material to the Company.
