Exhibit 10.42


                    REPLACEMENT SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS REPLACEMENT SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated
as of January 30, 2002, between Diamond Entertainment Corporation, a New Jersey
corporation with principal executive offices located at 800 Tucker Lane, Walnut,
California 91789 (the "Company"), and the persons signatory hereto
(collectively, the "Buyers" and individually, "Buyer").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, Buyers desires to replace with the Company, and the Company
desires to issue and replace with the Buyer, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, (i) 13 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, no par value (the "Preferred Stock"), having the rights, preferences and
privileges set forth in the Articles of Amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company designating the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of Series B Preferred Stock attached hereto as Annex I (the
"Certificate of Designations"), in replacement of a convertible note issued by
the company in March 1999, in the possession of the Buyer;

         WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Certificate of Designations, the Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of
Common Stock.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

         I.       PURCHASE AND SALE OF PREFERRED STOCK

         A. Transaction. The Buyer hereby agrees to replace with the Company,
and the Company hereby agrees to issue and replace with the Buyer, in a
transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the number of
shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants set forth on the signature page hereof in
replacement of a convertible note issued by the Company to the Buyer. The
exchange of the Preferred Stock and Warrants shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, which is one of several substantially identical
counterparts executed by the Buyers in connection with the offering ("Offering")
by the Company of the Preferred Stock and Warrants for an aggregate purchase
price of $100,000 plus $30,000 in accrued interest ($28,525.13 in interest
through January 30, 2001 plus the $1,474.87 difference,(which will be paid to
the Company at closing)), which together shall govern the purchase and sale of
the shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants. As used herein, the term "Agreement"
shall mean this Agreement and all Exhibits, Annexes, Schedules and amendments
thereto together with all the other Agreements executed by the Buyers in the
Offering.

         B. Amount Exchanged. The purchase price for the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock and Warrants to be purchased by the Buyer hereunder shall be


                                       1
<PAGE>

equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) times the number of shares of Preferred
Stock purchased (the "Purchase Price"). It is acknowledged that the Purchaser
has paid the $100,000 Purchase Price on March 26, 1999 in the form of a wire
transfer, and that the Company has paid the Purchaser accrued interest through
January 30, 2001 of $30,000, in the form of three convertible series B Preferred
Shares, that was owed the Purchaser ($28,325.14 accrued interest through
1/30/2001 plus $1,474.87 to be paid the Company upon closing).

         c. Rule 144(d)(3)(i) Status: The Series B Convertible Preferred shares
being received in exchange for the original $100,000 convertible note, meet the
relevant requirements of Rule 144(d)(3)(i), thus the holding period of the
original debenture tacks onto the holding period of the Series B Preferred
stock. Since the securities were purchased and paid for on March 26, 1999, the
required two year holding period has been met. Thus the underlying shares that
will be issued upon conversion of the $100,000, may be issued and sold free of
any restrictive legends pursuant to rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended and Section 4(2) of the securities Act as amended.

         II. BUYERS' REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES; ACCESS TO INFORMATION;
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.

         The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that except as disclosed
on Schedule III hereto:

         A. Capitalization. 1. The authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, of which
457,595,650 shares are outstanding on the date hereof and 4,999,950 share of
Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, of which 483,251 are issued with

par value, of which 40 shares are issued and outstanding. All of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued
and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares
have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company,
and when issued by the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
(including payment of interest), or on exercise of the Warrants in accordance
with their terms, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
and will not subject the holder thereof to personal liability by reason of being
such holder. There are no preemptive, subscription, "call" or other similar
rights to acquire the Common Stock (including the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares) that have been issued or granted to any person.

         2. The Company does have subsidiaries and does own or control, directly
or indirectly, interest in another corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, unincorporated business organization, association, trust or other
business entity.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         B.       Organization; Reporting Company Status.

                  1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
         organization and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all
         jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
         adverse effect on the business, properties, prospects, condition
         (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and
         its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the consummation of any of
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a "Material Adverse
         Effect").

         2. The Company has registered the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12
of the Exchange Act and has timely filed with the SEC all reports and
information required to be filed by it pursuant to all reporting obligations
under Section 13(a) or 15(d), as applicable, of the Exchange Act for the
12-month period immediately preceding the date hereof. The Common Stock is
currently listed and traded on the NASDAQ, OTC:BB Bulletin Board ("OTC") and the
Company has not received any notice regarding, and to its knowledge there is no
threat, of the termination or discontinuance of the eligibility of the Common
Stock for such listing.

         C. Authorized Shares. The Company has duly and validly authorized and
reserved for issuance shares of Common Stock sufficient in number for the
conversion of the Preferred Stock (assuming for purposes of this Section III.C.
a Conversion Price of the lesser of the fixed price or the floating price (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations) and the exercise of the Warrants,
without regard to the anti-dilution provisions of the Preferred Stock and
Warrants. The Company agrees to increase number of shares on reserve upon the
increase in authorized shares which will be voted upon at the Company's 2002
annual shareholder meeting. The Company understands and acknowledges the
potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock of the issuance of the
Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the Warrant Shares
upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement
is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such
issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the
Company, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. ss. 101 et
seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"). In the event the Company is a debtor under the
Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any
rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. ss. 362 in respect of the
conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. The Company
agrees, without cost or expense to the Buyer, to take or consent to any and all
action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. ss. 362.

         D. Authority; Validity and Enforceability. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the
Certificate of Designations, the Registration Rights Agreement of even date
herewith between the Company and Buyer, a copy of which is annexed hereto as
Annex IV (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and the Warrants and to perform
all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including the issuance, sale
and delivery to Buyer of the Securities). The execution, delivery and


                                       4

performance by the Company of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations,
the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (the issuance of the
Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the issuance and reservation for issuance of
the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares), has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required, except to the extent stockholder approval is required under NASDAQ
rules. Each of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrants and
the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly validly executed and delivered
by the Company and each instrument constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally
and general equitable principles. The Securities have been duly and validly
authorized for issuance by the Company against receipt of the consideration
thereof, and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with
their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights and remedies generally and general equitable principles.

         E. Non-contravention. The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
and the Registration Rights Agreement, the issuance of the Securities, and the
consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company
of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under (i)
Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, (ii) except for such
conflict, breach or default which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to
which the Company is a party or by which their respective properties or assets
are bound, or (iii) any law, rule, regulation, decree, judgment or order of any
court or public or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company
or any of the Company's properties or assets, nor is the Company otherwise in
violation of, conflict with or in default under any of the foregoing, except for
such conflict, breach or default which would not have a Material Adverse Affect.

         F. Approvals. Except for the filing of the Certificate of Designations
with the State of New Jersey, no authorization, approval or consent of any court
or public or governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Company
for the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants (and the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) to Buyer as contemplated by this
Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents that have been
obtained by the Company prior to the date hereof.

         G. SEC Filings. None of the SEC Filings contained at the time they were
filed any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Company has not provided to Buyer any information that,

results of operations of the Company, and there has not existed any condition
having or reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

         I. Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to the Company (other than
general economic or industry conditions known to the public generally) that has
not been fully disclosed in the SEC Filings or otherwise in writing to the Buyer

Schedule III.J, there is no action, suit, claim, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened, by or before
any court or public or governmental authority which, if determined adversely to
the Company, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

         K. Absence of Events of Default. No "Event of Default" (as defined in
any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party) and no event which,
with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (as so
defined), has occurred and is continuing, which could have a Material Adverse
Effect.

non-compliance, which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company
possesses all permits, approvals, authorizations, licenses, certificates and

reputable insurers that are adequate in light of the Company's historical claims
experience. The Company has not received notice from, and has no knowledge of
any threat by, any insurer (that has issued any insurance policy to the Company)
that such insurer intends to deny coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not
renew any insurance policy presently in force.

         P. Securities Law Matters. Based, in part, upon the accuracy and
completeness of the representations, covenants and warranties of Buyer set forth
in Section II hereof, the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities is
exempt from (i) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and (ii) the
registration and/or qualification provisions of all applicable state securities
and "blue sky" laws. Other than pursuant to an effective registration statement

in writing to Buyer or in a SEC Filing, and the Company shall not directly or
indirectly take, and shall not permit any of its directors, officers or
Affiliates directly or indirectly to take, any action (including, without
limitation, any offering or sale to any person or entity of Preferred Stock or
shares of Common Stock), so as to make unavailable the exemption from Securities
Act registration being relied upon by the Company for the offer and sale to
Buyer of the Preferred Stock (and the Conversion Shares) as contemplated by this
Agreement. No form of general solicitation or advertising has been used or
authorized by the Company or any of its officers, directors or Affiliates in

         S. Tax Matters. 1. The Company has filed all Tax Returns which it is
required to file under applicable Laws, except for such Tax Returns in respect
of which the failure to so file does not and could not have a Material Adverse
Effect; all such Tax Returns are true and accurate in all material respects and

shown on a Tax Return) and have withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing
authorities all Taxes which they are required to withhold from amounts paid or
owing to any employee, stockholder, creditor or other third parties; and since
December 31, 1999, the charges, accruals and reserves for Taxes with respect to
the Company (including any provisions for deferred income taxes) reflected on
the books of the Company are adequate to cover any Tax liabilities of the
Company if its current tax year were treated as ending on the date hereof.

Code or any predecessor provision thereof or any similar provision of state,
local or foreign law; or (B) has not agreed to or is required to make any

method initiated by the Company or has any knowledge that the IRS has proposed
any such adjustment or change in accounting method, or has any application
pending with any taxing authority requesting permission for any changes in
accounting methods that relate to the business or operations of the Company. The
Company has not been a United States real property holding corporation within
the meaning of ss. 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code during the applicable
period specified in ss. 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code.

comparable provisions of state, local or foreign law), (B) as a transferee or
successor, (C) by contract or indemnity or (D) otherwise. The Company is not a

obligated to make payments or is a party to an agreement that could obligate it
to make any payments that would not be deductible under ss. 28OG of the Internal
Revenue Code.

         T. Property. The Company does not own any real property. Except as
disclosed in the SEC Filings or the Financial Statements, the Company has good
and marketable title to all personal property owned by it, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the
value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and
proposed to be made of such property by the Company; and any real property and
buildings held under lease by the Company are held by it under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not

in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in the
Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related
prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any

misleading; and (v) the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective

date hereof, effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into, or
a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, another

         I. Issuance of Preferred Shares. The sale of the Preferred Stock
pursuant the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be
made in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Section 4(2) of the

<PAGE>

Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and any applicable state
securities law. The Company shall make all necessary SEC and "blue sky" filings
required to be made by the Company in connection with the sale of the Securities

order to effect all such filings..

         J. Limitation on Future Financing. The Company agrees that as long as
  the Buyers own Preferred Stock it will not sell or enter into any agreement to
  sell any of its securities or incur any indebtedness outside the ordinary
  course of business, until twelve months after the Closing, without the written
  notice to investors.

         V.       TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

         A. The Company undertakes and agrees that no instruction other than the
instructions referred to in this Section V and customary stop transfer
instructions prior to the registration and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to
an effective Securities Act registration statement will be given to its transfer
agent for the Common Stock and that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock, including the payment of interest, and upon exercise of the
Warrants otherwise shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and applicable Law, including, without limitation, the provisions of
the Securities Act and state securities laws. Nothing contained in this Section
V.A. shall affect in any way Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of such Common Stock. If, at any
time, Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company that registration of the resale by Buyer of such Common Stock is not
required under the Securities Act and that the removal of restrictive legends is
permitted under applicable law, the Company shall permit the transfer of such
Common Stock and, promptly instruct the Company's transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates for Common Stock without any restrictive legends endorsed
thereon.

         B. The Company shall permit Buyer to exercise its right to convert the
Preferred Stock by telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to
the Company. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to and
received by the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed
a Conversion Date. The Company shall transmit the certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Stock to Buyer
via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within five business
days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery
Date").

         C. The Company shall permit Buyer to exercise its right to purchase
shares of Common Stock pursuant to exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
its applicable terms of the Warrants. The last date that the Company may deliver
shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of Warrants is referred to
herein as the "Warrant Delivery Date."

                                       13
<PAGE>

         D. The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (including
the payment of interest or upon exercise of the Warrants beyond the applicable
Delivery Date or Warrant Delivery Date could result in economic loss to Buyer.
As compensation to Buyer for such loss (and not as a penalty), the Company
agrees to pay to Buyer for late issuance of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with
the following schedule (where "No. Business Days" is defined as the number of
business days beyond five (5) days from the Delivery Date or the Warrant
Delivery Date, as applicable):

                                                       beyond 10 days

The Company shall pay to Buyer the compensation described above by the transfer
of immediately available funds upon Buyer's demand. Nothing herein shall limit
Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and
deliver Common Stock to Buyer (which actual damages shall be reduced by the
amount of any compensation paid by the Company as described above in this
Section V. D.), and in addition to any other remedies which may be available to
Buyer, in the event the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such
shares of Common Stock within five business days after the relevant Delivery
Date or the Warrant Delivery Date, as applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to
rescind the relevant Notice of Conversion or exercise of Warrants by delivering
a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Buyer shall
each be restored to their respective original positions immediately prior to
delivery of such Notice of Conversion on delivery. The Company may pay the
compensation described above in additional shares of Common Stock based upon the
Market Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as determined on
the date of payment.

         E. 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 relating to the
Securities. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from and after


                                       14
<PAGE>

the date hereof or from and after the issuance thereof to any such substitute or
replacement transfer agent, as the case may be, except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. It is the intent and purpose of
such instructions, to require the transfer agent for the Common Stock from time
to time upon transfer of Securities by Buyer to issue certificates evidencing
such Registrable Securities free of legends and 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 Buyer.


         VI.      DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

         The Securities shall be delivered by the Company on a
"delivery-against-payment basis" at the Closing.

         VII.     CLOSING DATE.

         The date and time of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares (the

<PAGE>

(collectively, the "Buyer Indemnitees"), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, judgments, penalties, liabilities and deficiencies
(collectively, "Losses"), and agrees to reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal
counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees and to the
extent arising out of or in connection with:

                           1. any material misrepresentation, omission of fact
         or breach of any of the Company's representations or warranties
         contained in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto
         or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered
         by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or

(collectively, the "Company Indemnitees"), from and against any and all Losses,
and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case
promptly as incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of

         D. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Section XI (an "Indemnified Party") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "Claim"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Section XI is being sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party,
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and
forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In
connection with any Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim
by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate legal counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) and to
participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear


                                       18
<PAGE>

the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party
shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded
that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the
same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as
reasonably-determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, (i) potentially
differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such
Claim, or (ii) if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party
that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying
Party and which can not be presented by counsel to the Indemnifying Party, or
(z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after
notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs
separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x),
(y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be
borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same
Jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal
counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or
compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment and does involve any continuing
obligations.

         E. In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for
indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a
third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim
to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such
dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California
conducted in accordance with the commercial procedures and rules of the American
Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrators may
be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

         F. In no event shall any (i) Investor be required to undertake
liability to any person for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the
proceeds to be received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor's
Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions
applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such
Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii)
underwriter be required to undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any
amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation
payable to such underwriter with respect to the Registrable Securities
underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to the Registration Statement;
provided, however, in the event of fraud by the Investor (in the case of (i)
above) or underwriter (in the case of (ii) above), there shall be no such dollar
amount limitation.

         XII. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

         This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law
principles of such state. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of
the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of Los Angeles
or the state courts of the State of California sitting in the City of Los
Angeles 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. In any action or proceeding brought by a party arising
out of, resulting from or relating to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with that action or proceeding,
including but not limited to, attorney's fees. A facsimile transmission of this
signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto. This
Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may
be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged
with enforcement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.

         XIII. NOTICES. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any notice
or other communication or delivery required or permitted hereunder shall be in

prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, and shall be

to this Section XVIII.

         XIV. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Company and Buyer agrees to keep
confidential and not to disclose to or use for the benefit of any third party
the terms of this Agreement or any other information which at any time is
communicated by the other party as being confidential without the prior written
approval of the other party; provided, however, that this provision shall not
apply to information which, at the time of disclosure, is already part of the
public domain (except by breach of this Agreement) and information which is
required to be disclosed by law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Item
10 of Rule 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act).

         XV. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either of the
parties hereto prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of the
other party, and any attempted assignment contrary to the provisions hereby
shall be null and void; provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights and
obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any affiliate of Buyer who
furnishes to the Company the representations and warranties set forth in Section
II hereof and otherwise agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

         XVI. BROKERS. Each of the parties hereto represents that it has had no
dealings in connection with this transaction with any finder or broker who will
demand payment of any fee or commission from the other party whose fee shall be
paid by the Company. The Company on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand,
agree to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and
all liabilities to any person claiming brokerage commissions or finder's fees on
account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the
indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         XVII. FEES AND EXPENSES. The Company agrees to pay Buyers' expenses
incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder (including, but not

amount not to exceed $5,000 in the aggregate.
