      2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

            (a)  Investment  Purpose.  Each Buyer is acquiring  the  Convertible
Debentures  and,  upon  conversion  of  Convertible  Debentures,  the Buyer will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable,  for its own account for investment
only and not with a view towards,  or for resale in connection  with, the public
sale or distribution  thereof,  except pursuant to sales  registered or exempted
under the 1933  Act;  provided,  however,  that by  making  the  representations
herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any
time in  accordance  with or pursuant  to an  effective  registration  statement
covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

            (b)  Accredited  Investor  Status.  Each  Buyer  is  an  "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

            (c)  Reliance  on  Exemptions.   Each  Buyer  understands  that  the
Convertible  Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities  laws and that the  Company  is  relying  in part  upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations,  warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the  availability  of such  exemptions and the eligibility of
such Buyer to acquire such securities.

            (d)  Information.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors  (and his or,  its
counsel),  if any,  have  been  furnished  with all  materials  relating  to the
business,  finances  and  operations  of the Company and  information  he deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the
Convertible  Debentures and the Conversion Shares,  which have been requested by
such  Buyer.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors,  if any,  have been  afforded  the
opportunity  to ask  questions of the Company and its  management.  Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence  investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors,  if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's  representations and warranties contained
in  Section  3  below.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  its  investment  in  the
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.
Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer
to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks
of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice,
as it has  considered  necessary to make an informed  investment  decision  with
respect to its  acquisition  of the  Convertible  Debentures  and the Conversion
Shares.


                                       3
<PAGE>

            (e) No Governmental  Review.  Each Buyer  understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other  government or  governmental  agency
has  passed on or made any  recommendation  or  endorsement  of the  Convertible
Debentures  or the  Conversion  Shares,  or the fairness or  suitability  of the
investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such
authorities  passed  upon  or  endorsed  the  merits  of  the  offering  of  the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

            (f)  Transfer  or Resale.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  except as
provided in the Investor  Registration  Rights  Agreement:  (i) the  Convertible
Debentures have not been and are not being  registered under the 1933 Act or any
state  securities  laws,  and may not be offered  for sale,  sold,  assigned  or
transferred  unless (A) subsequently  registered  thereunder,  or (B) such Buyer
shall have  delivered  to the  Company an opinion  of  counsel,  in a  generally
acceptable  form,  to the effect that such  securities  to be sold,  assigned or
transferred may be sold,  assigned or transferred  pursuant to an exemption from
such  registration  requirements;  (ii)  any  sale  of such  securities  made in
reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a  successor  rule  thereto)  ("Rule
144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,  if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in
which the seller (or the person  through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to
be an  underwriter  (as  that  term is  defined  in the 1933  Act)  may  require
compliance  with  some  other  exemption  under  the 1933 Act or the  rules  and
regulations of the SEC  thereunder;  and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or
any state  securities  laws or to comply  with the terms and  conditions  of any
exemption  thereunder.  The Company  reserves  the right to place stop  transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

            (g) Legends.  Each Buyer  understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares
shall bear a restrictive  legend in substantially the following form (and a stop
transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

            THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  BY  THIS  CERTIFICATE  HAVE  NOT  BEEN
            REGISTERED  UNDER  THE  SECURITIES  ACT  OF  1933,  AS  AMENDED,  OR
            APPLICABLE  STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
            SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND
            MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,  SOLD,  TRANSFERRED  OR ASSIGNED IN THE
            ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT FOR THE  SECURITIES
            UNDER THE  SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  OR APPLICABLE  STATE
            SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE
            FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE
            STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The  legend set forth  above  shall be removed  and the  Company  within two (2)
business days shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the
Conversion  Shares upon which it is stamped,  if, unless  otherwise  required by
state securities laws, (i) in connection with a sale  transaction,  provided the
Conversion Shares are registered under the 1933 Act or (ii) in connection with a
sale  transaction,  after such holder  provides  the Company  with an opinion of
counsel,  which  opinion  shall be in form,  substance  and scope  customary for
opinions  of counsel in  comparable  transactions,  to the effect  that a public
sale,  assignment  or  transfer  of the  Conversion  Shares may be made  without
registration under the 1933 Act.

            (h)  Authorization,  Enforcement.  This  Agreement has been duly and
validly  authorized,  executed  and  delivered  on behalf of such Buyer and is a
valid and binding  agreement of such Buyer  enforceable  in accordance  with its
terms,  except as such  enforceability  may be limited by general  principles of
equity  or  applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,   reorganization,   moratorium,
liquidation  and other  similar laws  relating to, or affecting  generally,  the
enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

            (i)  Receipt of  Documents.  Each Buyer and his or its  counsel  has
received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation,
warranty and covenant set forth  herein,  the Security  Agreement,  the Investor
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  the  Escrow  Agreement,  and  the  Irrevocable
transfer  Agent  Instructions;  (ii) all due  diligence  and  other  information

on the  information  contained  therein  and has not been  furnished  any  other
documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

            (j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers.  If the Buyer(s) is
a  corporation,  trust,  partnership  or other entity that is not an  individual
person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the
specific purpose of purchasing the Convertible  Debentures and is not prohibited
from doing so.

            (k) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges,  that
it  had  the   opportunity  to  review  this  Agreement  and  the   transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors.  Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and
not  on  any  statements  or  representations  of  the  Company  or  any  of its
representatives  or agents for legal,  tax or investment  advice with respect to
this  investment,  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  or  the
securities laws of any jurisdiction.

of Convertible  Debentures as specified from time to time by the Buyer(s) to the
Company  upon  conversion  of the  Convertible  Debentures,  for  interest  owed
pursuant to the Convertible  Debenture,  and for any and all Liquidated  Damages

Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees,  in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the  provisions  of this  Section 5, that the  Buyer(s)
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring  immediate  issuance and transfer,  without
the necessity of showing  economic  loss and without any bond or other  security
being required.
