                          ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                          SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as
of September 7, 2001, by and among ONE VOICE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and the Purchaser listed on Exhibit A hereto (the
"Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the sale of 8% Convertible Notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $600,000 (the "Notes"), convertible into shares of
the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock");

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to issues warrants (the "Warrants") to the Purchaser
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in connection with Purchaser's
purchase of the Notes;

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase the Notes and Warrants on the terms and
conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants to
Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

                                    AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises, representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), the
Company agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to
purchase from the Company Notes in the amount set forth next to the Purchaser's
name on Exhibit A under the column heading "Closing Date Notes," convertible in
accordance with the terms thereof into shares of the Company's Common Stock,
which amount shall be equal to $600,000. The Notes purchased on the Closing Date
shall be known as the "Offering." The form of Notes is annexed hereto as Exhibit
B. The Notes will have a Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes) two years from
the date of issuance. Collectively, the Notes and Warrants (as defined in
Section 2) and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise
of the Warrants are referred to as the "Securities."

     2. FEES AND WARRANTS.

             (a) The Company will issue and deliver to the persons listed on
Exhibit A under the column heading "Warrant Holders", or to such other persons
as the Purchaser shall otherwise designate (such named persons, as they may be
so otherwise designated, being referred to as the "Warrant Recipients"),
Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in the amounts designated on Exhibit
A hereto in connection with the Offering (the "Warrants") pursuant to Section 1
hereof. The Warrants must be delivered on the Closing Date. The aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants granted on
the Closing Date is set forth on Exhibit A hereto. A form of Warrant is annexed
hereto as Exhibit C. The per share "Purchase Price" of Common Stock as defined
in the Warrants shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 120% of the average of the
three lowest closing prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg
Financial for the Pink Sheets, the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap
Market, NASDAQ National Market, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock
Exchange (each of the foregoing the "Principal Market"), or such other principal
market or exchange where the Common Stock is listed or traded, for the ten (10)
trading days preceding but not including the Closing Date or (ii) 120% of the
average of the three lowest closing prices of the Common Stock as reported by
Bloomberg Financial on the Principal Market for the ten trading days prior to
but not including the date the Warrant is exercised. All the representations,
covenants, warranties, undertakings, and indemnification, and other rights made
or granted to or for the benefit of Purchaser are hereby also made and granted
to the holders of the Warrants in respect of the Warrants and shares of the
Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant
Shares").

             (b) The Company shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable legal
fees of $15,000 for services rendered to Purchaser in preparation of this
Agreement and the Related Agreements, and an additional amount

<PAGE>

not to exceed $2,500 in connection with its due diligence review of the Company
and relevant matters. Amounts required to be paid hereunder will be paid at the
Closing.

             (c) The Company will pay a cash fee in the amount of ten percent
(10%) of the aggregate gross purchase price to be paid to the Company from the
sale of Notes in the Offering the "Fund Manager's Fee") to the persons listed on
Exhibit A under the column heading "Fund Manager's Fee Recipient." The Fund
Manager's Fee must be paid on the Closing Date. The aforementioned Fund
Manager's Fee and legal fees will be payable at the Closing out of funds held
pursuant to a Funds Escrow Agreement to be entered into by the Company,
Purchaser and an Escrow Agent. Failure to timely deliver the Fund Manager's Fee,
or the Warrants shall be deemed an Event of Default as defined in Article III of
the Notes.

     3. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.

         3.1 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the closing of
the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing"), which closing is comprised
of Purchaser's purchase of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,
shall take place on the date hereof, at the offices of Daniel M. Laifer, Esq.,
135 West 50th Street, Suite 1700, New York, New York 10020, or at such other
time or place as the Company and Purchaser may mutually agree (such date is
hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date").

         3.2 Delivery. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser an applicable Note
representing the aggregate principal amount borrowed by the Company at the
Closing from the Purchaser and a warrant certificate registered in the

Warrant is exercisable pursuant to this Agreement, against payment of the
purchase price therefor by certified funds or wire transfer made payable to the
order of the Company, cancellation of indebtedness or any combination of the
foregoing.

     4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the
date of this Agreement as set forth below.

         4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Nevada. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own
and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Agreement,
the Warrants to be issued in connection with this Agreement, the Funds Escrow
Agreement, the Security Agreement and all other agreements referred to herein
(collectively, the "Related Agreements"), to issue and sell the Notes and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the "Conversion
Shares"), to issue and sell the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, and to carry
out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry on
its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.
The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of
its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such
qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do
so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

         4.2 Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.2, the Company does
not own or control any equity security or other interest of any other
corporation, limited partnership or other business entity. If any entity is
listed on Schedule 4.2. and the Company owns a controlling interest in such
entity, each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4
are being hereby restated with respect to such entity (modified as appropriate
to the nature of such entity.)

         4.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3:

             (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company, immediately prior
to the Closing, consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share, 14,549,651 shares of which are issued

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

and outstanding as of August 13, 2001, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, no shares of which are issued and
outstanding.

             (b) Other than (i) the shares reserved for issuance under the
Company's Stock Option Plan and (ii) shares which may be granted pursuant to
this Agreement and the Related Agreements, there are no outstanding options,
warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first
refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or arrangements or agreements of any
kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any of its securities.
Neither the offer, issuance or sale of any of the Notes or Warrants, or the
issuance of any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, nor the consummation
of any transaction contemplated hereby will result in a change in the price or
number of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or
other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

             (c) All issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock
and Preferred Stock (to the extent Preferred Stock has been issued) (i) have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and
(ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws
concerning the issuance of securities.

             (d) The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
shares of Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as stated in the Articles of
Incorporation (the "Charter"). The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have
been duly and validly reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Company's Charter, the Notes, Warrants,
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (sometimes collectively referred to herein
as the "Securities") will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the
Securities may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal
securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the
time a transfer is proposed.

             (e) No stock plan, stock purchase, stock option or other agreement
or understanding between the Company and any holder of any equity securities or
rights to purchase equity securities provides for acceleration or other changes
in the vesting provisions or other terms of such agreement or understanding as
the result of any merger, consolidated sale of stock or assets, change in
control or any other transaction(s) by the Company, including the transactions
contemplated hereunder.

         4.4 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the
part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the performance of
all obligations of the Company hereunder at each Closing and the authorization,
sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities pursuant hereto and the Related
Agreements has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Agreement
and the Related Agreements, when executed and delivered, will be valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights, and (b) general principles of equity that restrict the
availability of equitable remedies. The sale of the Notes and the subsequent
conversion of the Notes into Conversion Shares are not and will not be subject
to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly
waived or complied with. The sale of the Warrants and the subsequent exercise of
the Warrants for Warrant Shares are not and will not be subject to any
preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived
or complied with. The Notes and the Warrants, when executed and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be valid and binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.

         4.5 Liabilities. The Company has no material liabilities and, to the
best of its knowledge, knows of no material contingent liabilities, except
current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which have not
been, either in any individual case or in the aggregate, materially adverse.

             (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, the Company has not

harmless, reimburse and defend the Purchaser, each of the Purchaser's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders,
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement, or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and the Purchaser relating hereto.

         7.2 Purchaser's Indemnification. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify,
hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company at all times against any claim,
cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal
fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Company which results,
arises out of or is based upon (a) any misrepresentation by the Purchaser or
breach of warranty by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in any exhibits or
schedules attached hereto or any Related Agreement; or (b) any breach or default
in performance by the Purchaser of any covenant or undertaking to be performed
by the Purchaser hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company
and the Purchaser relating hereto.

         7.3 Limitations. The Purchaser and the Company shall not make any claim
for indemnification until the aggregate amount of such indemnifiable expenses
exceeds $25,000, in which case such party may claim indemnification for the full
amount. In no event shall the Company have liability under this Section 7 to any
party in excess of the aggregate purchase price of the outstanding principal due
under the Notes.

         7.4 Procedures. The procedures and limitations set forth in Section 9.6
shall apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above.

     8. CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES.

         8.1 Mechanics of Conversion.

             (a) Upon the conversion of the Notes or part thereof, the Company
shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the
issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent
shall issue stock certificates in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or
such other persons as designated by the Purchaser and in such denominations to
be specified representing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such
conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these
instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's
Common Stock and that the Conversion Shares issued will be unlegended,
free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting
the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares, provided the Purchaser
has notified the Company of the Purchaser's intention to sell the Conversion
Shares and the Conversion Shares are included in an effective registration
statement or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold.

             (b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its
right to convert the Notes or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise
delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be
converted to the Company (the "Notice of Conversion"). The Purchaser will not be
required to surrender the Notes until the Purchaser receives a certificate or
certificates, as the case may be, representing the Conversion Shares or until
the Note has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is
telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall be deemed a "Conversion Date." The Company will or will cause the transfer
agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the
shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes (and a certificate representing the
balance of the Notes not so converted, if requested by Purchaser) to the
Purchaser via express courier for receipt by such Purchaser within four business
days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery
Date").

             (c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or the
Mandatory Redemption Payment described in Section 8.2 hereof, beyond the
Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as defined in Section 8.2)
could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. As compensation to the Purchaser
for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late
issuance of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8
hereof upon conversion of the Notes or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption
Payment, in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or
Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 Note
principal being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the
Purchaser, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery
of the Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date, the Purchaser will be entitled to revoke all or part of
the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of
Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company
whereupon the Company and the Purchaser shall each be restored to their
respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except
that late payment charges described above shall be payable through the date
notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

             (d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein
or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the
payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum
permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends
required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum amount
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited
against amounts owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to the
Company.

         8.2 Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company is unable to issue
Conversion Shares on a Delivery Date or at any time when a Note is convertible,
for any reason, then at the Purchaser's election, the Company must pay to the
Purchaser five (5) business days after request by the Purchaser or on the
Delivery Date (if requested by the Purchaser) a sum of money determined by
multiplying the principal of the Note required to be converted and not so
converted (or otherwise not convertible, as applicable) by 130%, together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon


                                      -14-

<PAGE>

("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be
received by the Purchaser on the same date as the Conversion Shares are
otherwise deliverable or within five (5) business days after request, whichever
is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory
Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal and interest will be deemed
paid and no longer outstanding.

         8.3 Maximum Conversion. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to convert
on a Conversion Date that amount of a Note or Notes in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser on a
Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Notes with respect to which the determination of this proviso
is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership
by the Purchaser of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company on such Conversion Date. The Purchaser shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 8.3
will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Purchaser
determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the
determination of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Purchaser. For the purposes of the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, a Purchaser shall not be limited to
aggregate conversions of only 4.99%. A Purchaser may void the conversion
limitation described in this Section 8.3 upon 75 days prior notice to the
Company or upon an Event of Default under the Note. A Purchaser may allocate
which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by such Purchaser
shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be
allocated to the excess above 4.99%.

         8.4 Injunction - Posting of Bond. In the event a Purchaser shall elect
to convert a Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion for any
reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or
enjoining conversion of all or part of said Note shall have been sought and
obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Purchaser
in the amount of 130% of the amount of the Note, which is subject to the
injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Purchaser to the extent it obtains judgment.

         8.5 Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Purchaser,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Purchaser Conversion Shares by the
Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date the Purchaser purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the Common Stock which the Purchaser
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall
pay in cash to the Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or
elected by such Purchaser) the amount by which (A) the Purchaser's total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest
amount of the Note, for which such conversion was not timely honored, together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Purchaser
purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Note
principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser
$1,000, plus interest. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

         8.6 Optional Redemption. The Company will have the option of redeeming
any outstanding Notes ("Optional Redemption") by paying to the Purchaser a sum
of money as follows:

             from the Closing Date through 30 days after the Closing Date - 120%
             from 31 days through 90 days after the Closing Date - 135%
             from 91 days through 180 days after the Closing Date - 150%
             after 180 days following the Closing Date - 200%


                                      -15-

<PAGE>

of the principal amount of the Note together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Purchaser
arising under this Agreement, Note or any other document delivered herewith
("Redemption Amount") outstanding on the day notice of redemption ("Notice of
Redemption) is given to a Purchaser ("Redemption Date"). A Notice of Redemption
may not be given in connection with any portion of Note for which notice of
conversion has been given by the Purchaser at any time before receipt of a
Notice of Redemption. The Purchaser may elect within five (5) business days
after receipt of a Notice of Redemption to give the Company Notice of Conversion
in connection with some or all of the Note principal and interest which was the
subject of the Notice of Redemption. A Notice of Redemption must be accompanied
by a certificate signed by the chief executive officer or chief financial
officer of the Company stating that the Company has on deposit and segregated
ready funds equal to the Redemption Amount. The Redemption Amount must be paid
in good funds to the Purchaser no later than the seventh (7th) business day
after the Redemption Date ("Optional Redemption Payment Date"). In the event the
Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount by the Optional Redemption Payment
Date, then the Redemption Notice will be null and void and the Company will
thereafter have no further right to effect an Optional Redemption, and at the
Purchaser's election, the Redemption Amount will be deemed a Mandatory
Redemption Payment and the Optional Redemption Payment Date will be deemed a
Mandatory Redemption Payment Date. Such failure will also be deemed an Event of
Default under the Note. Any Notice of Redemption must be given to all holders of
Notes issued in connection with the Offering, in proportion to their holdings of
Note principal on a Redemption Date. A Notice of Redemption may be given by the
Company, provided (i) no Event of Default, as described in the Note shall have
occurred or be continuing; and (ii) the Conversion Shares issuable upon
conversion of the full outstanding Note principal are included for unrestricted
resale in a registration statement effective as of the Redemption Date. Note
proceeds may not be used to effect an Optional Redemption.

         8.7 NASDAQ Approval. The Company and the Purchaser agree that until the
Company either obtains shareholder approval of the issuance of the Securities,
or an exemption from NASDAQ's corporate governance rules as they may apply to
the Securities, and an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser
that NASDAQ's corporate governance rules do not conflict with nor may result in
a delisting of the Company's common stock from the SmallCap Market (the
"Approval") upon the conversion of the Notes, the Purchaser may not receive upon
conversion of the Notes more than the number of common shares greater than 19.9%
of the shares of Company's common stock outstanding on the Closing Date.
Provided the closing price of the Common Stock on a Principal Market is less
than $.25 per share for three consecutive trading days (such third day being the
"Trigger Date"), the Company covenants to obtain the Approval required pursuant
to the NASDAQ's corporate governance rules to allow conversion of all the Notes
and interest thereon. The Company further covenants to file the preliminary
proxy statement relating to the Approval with the Commission on or before thirty
days after the Trigger Date ("Proxy Filing Date"). The Company further covenants
to obtain the Approval no later than ninety days after the Trigger Date
("Approval Date"). The Company's failure to (i) file the proxy on or before the
Proxy Filing Date; or (ii) the Company's failure to obtain the Approval on or
before the Approval Date (each being an "Approval Default") shall be deemed an
Event of Default under the Note, but only to the extent the Notes and interest
thereon that may not be converted due to the Company's failure to obtain such
Approval.

     9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         9.1 Registration Rights Granted. The Company hereby grants the
following registration rights to holders of the securities purchased hereby.

             (a) On two occasions, for a period commencing 90 days after the
Closing Date, but not later than two (2) years after the Closing Date (the
"Request Date"), the Company, upon a written request therefor from holders of
more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Securities then outstanding, on
an as converted basis (the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issued or
issuable with respect to all Notes or Warrants issued or to be issued hereunder,
being, the "Registrable Securities"), shall prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Registrable
Securities which are the subject of such request, unless such Registrable
Securities are the subject of an effective registration statement. In addition,
upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice
to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration
statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration statement
Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests within 10 days
after the Company gives such written notice. Such other requesting record
holders shall

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section
9.1. As a condition precedent to the inclusion of Registrable Securities, the
holder thereof shall provide the Company with such information as the Company
reasonably requests. The obligation of the Company under this Section 9.1 shall
be limited to two registration statements.

             (b) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its
securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or
for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to
registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for
registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the
Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Purchaser
or subsequent holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such
time it will give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the record holder of
any Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the
holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such
notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities, the
Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall
have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent
required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller"). In
the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall be, in
whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the
Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent
that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold
by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the
Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the forgoing
provisions, or Section 9.1(a) hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or
suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 9.1(b)
without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.

             (c) If, at the time any written request for registration is
received by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(a), the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement
under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash
of any of its securities for the Company's own account, such written request
shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.1(b) rather than
Section 9.1(a), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered
by such written request shall be governed by Section 9.1(b) except that the
Company or underwriter, if any, may not withdraw such registration or limit the
amount of Registrable Securities included in such registration.

             (d) The Company shall file with the SEC within 30 days of the
Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause to be declared effective a Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other
form that it is eligible to use) within 90 days of the Closing Date in order to
register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the
Securities Act. The registration statement described in this paragraph must be
declared effective by the SEC within 90 days of the Closing Date (as defined
herein) ("Effective Date"). The Company will register not less than a number of
shares of Common Stock in the aforedescribed registration statement that is
equal to 300% of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares issuable at the
Conversion Prices set forth in the Warrants and Notes, respectively, that would
be in effect on the Closing Date or the date of filing of such registration
statement (employing the conversion price which would result in the greater
number of Shares), assuming the conversion of 100% of the Notes which are then
outstanding or issuable hereunder, and at least one share of common stock for
each common share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which are then
outstanding or issuable hereunder (employing the Conversion Price that would
result in the greater number of shares). The Registrable Securities shall be
reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of the Purchaser and the
holders of the Warrants, as the case may be, and not issued, employed or
reserved for anyone other than the Purchaser and the holders of the Warrants.
Such registration statement will be promptly amended or additional registration
statements will be promptly filed by the Company as necessary to register
additional Company Shares to allow the public resale of all Common Stock
included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. No securities
of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the
registration statement described in this Section 9.1(d).

         9.2 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:


                                      -17-

<PAGE>

             (a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to
the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings and SEC letters of
comment;

             (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the
later of: (i) six months after the latest exercise period of the Warrants; (ii)
twelve months after the Maturity Date of the last maturing Notes or (iii) four
years after the Closing Date, and comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended method
of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

             (c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any, such
number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;

             (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

             (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company
is then listed;

             (f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained
in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing; and

             (g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter,
all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available,
non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.

         9.3 Provision of Documents.

             (a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or a request for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 9.1(b), the Registrable
Securities will be included in a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Section 9.

             (b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the Seller will
furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters
with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall
be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws. In connection with each registration pursuant to Section 9
covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to
enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and
containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such
an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and
investment stature.


                                      -18-

         9.4 Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Purchaser agree that
the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under
Section 9.1(a) above is not filed within 30 days after written request by the
holder and not declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after such request,
and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section
9 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages
with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement described in
Section 9.1(a) is not filed within 30 days of such written request, or is not
declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is 90 days after such
request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form as
described in Section 9.1(d) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not
declared effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five
days of receipt by the Company of a communication from the SEC that the
registration statement described in Section 9.1(d) will not be reviewed, or
(iii) any registration statement described in Section 9.1(a) or (d) is filed and
declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being
succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared
effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per
year but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365
days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective)
(each such event referred to in this Section 9.4 is referred to herein as a
"Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event
shall continue, (i) the Company shall pay in cash as Liquidated Damages to each
holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal to two percent (2%) per
month or part thereof during the pendency of such Non-Registration Event of the
principal of the Notes issued in connection with the Offering, whether or not
converted, then owned of record by such holder or issuable as of or subsequent
to the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event and (ii) the Conversion Price
as defined in Section 2.1 of the Notes shall be reduced by 10% for each 30-day
period following the Effective Date that the Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the SEC. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section
shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available funds.
In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is demanded from the Company by the
holder pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, then the Liquidated Damages
described in this Section 9.4 shall no longer accrue on the portion of the
purchase price underlying the Mandatory Redemption Payment, from and after the
date the holder receives the Mandatory Redemption Payment. It shall be deemed a
Non-Registration Event to the extent that all the Common Stock included in the
Registrable Securities and underlying the Securities is not included in an
effective registration statement as of and after the Effective Date at the
conversion prices in effect from and after the Effective Date.

         9.5 Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 9, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky"
laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars,
fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Seller, and costs of
insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including
any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Seller beyond those
included in Registration Expenses, are called "Selling Expenses."

             The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
the registration statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration statement under Section 9 shall be borne by the Seller
and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares
sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.

         9.6 Indemnification and Contribution.

             (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Seller, each officer of each Seller, each director of each
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls any such Seller or underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under
which such Registrable Securities was registered under the Act pursuant to
Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make


                                      -19-

<PAGE>

the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by any such Seller, the underwriter or any
such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus.

             (b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs
the registration statement and each director of the Company, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
officer or director 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under
which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Company and each such officer or director for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided,
however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such
Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and
provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be
limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the
Registrable Securities sold by the Seller under such registration statement
bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but
not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by the Seller from the sale
of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.

             (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party other than under this Section 9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 9.6(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by
such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 9.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

             (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the
event of joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) the
Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6 but it 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


                                      -20-

<PAGE>

indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 9.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Seller or
controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities
offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in
any such case, (A) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it
pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         10. OFFERING RESTRICTIONS. Except as previously disclosed in the SEC
Reports or stock or stock options granted to employees or directors of the
Company; or equity or debt issued in connection with an acquisition of a
business or assets by the Company; or the issuance by the Company of stock in
connection with the establishment of a joint venture or strategic partnership or
licensing arrangement; or securities issued in connection with equipment leasing
financings or other related transactions; or common stock issued upon conversion
of outstanding warrants or debentures (these exceptions hereinafter referred to
as the "Excepted Issuances"), the Company will not issue any equity, convertible
debt or other securities which are or could be (by conversion or registration)
free-trading securities prior to the expiration of 12 months from the actual
effective date of the registration statement described in Section 9.1(d) above
(the "Exclusion Period"). This restriction shall not prohibit the Company from
issuing any equity, convertible debt or other securities prior to the expiration
of the Exclusion Period, provided that such equity, convertible debt or other
securities are restricted securities when issued and remain restricted until the
expiration of the Exclusion Period. Notwithstanding the above, if the Purchaser
elects not to further fund the Company following the Closing Date, the
provisions of this Section 10 shall be terminated.

         11. SECURITY INTEREST. As a condition of Closing, the Company will
deliver to the Purchaser Common Shares of the Company owned by certain
shareholders of the Company, together with signature guaranteed stock powers and
stock options. Collectively, the foregoing stock is referred to as "Security
Shares." The Security Shares will be held by the Purchaser pursuant to a
Security Agreement. The Company will also execute all such documents reasonably
necessary to memorialize and further protect the security interest described
above.

may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Purchaser and
the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of 24 months

                                 FORM OF OPINIoN

         1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted.

         2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and Related
Agreements. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers,
directors and stockholders necessary for (i) the authorization of the Agreement
and Related Agreements, and the performance of all obligations of the Company
thereunder at each Closing, and (ii) the authorization, sale, issuance and
delivery of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement and the Related Agreements
has been taken. The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, when issued
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and upon delivery,
shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non assessable.

         3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, the Notes
or the Related Agreements by the Company and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by any thereof, will not, with or without the giving
of notice or the passage of time or both:

             (a) Violate the provisions of the Charter or bylaws of the Company;
         or

             (b) To the best of such counsel's knowledge, violate any judgment,
         decree, order or award of any court binding upon the Company.

         4. The Agreement and Related Agreements constitute and the Notes, upon
their issuance will constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms.

         5. The sale of the Notes and the subsequent conversion of the Notes
into Conversion Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights
or, to such counsel's knowledge, rights of first refusal that have not been
properly waived or complied with. The sale of the Warrants and the subsequent
exercise of the Warrants for Warrant Shares are not and will not be subject to
any preemptive rights or, to such counsel's knowledge, rights of first refusal
that have not been properly waived or complied with.

     6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
best of such counsel's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company that
questions the validity of the Agreement or the Related Agreements or the right
of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby, or which might result, either individually or
in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, condition,
affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in
the current equity ownership of the Company. To the best of such counsel's
knowledge, the Company is not a party


                                       D-1

or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree
of any court or government agency or instrumentality; nor is there any action,
suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or which the
Company intends to initiate.
