1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements are the continuing financial statements
of WelcomeTo Search Engine ("WelcomeTo"), a British Columbia corporation which
was incorporated on October 27, 1997. On January 7, 1999, WelcomeTo acquired
100% of the common shares of CityXpress.com Corp. ("CityXpress.com"); a United
States non-operating company traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board. After the
acquisition on January 7, 1999, the accounting entity continued under the name
of CityXpress.com.

CityXpress.com Corp. ("Company") is a software developer and Internet publisher.

The Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 have been prepared on a going concern basis which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of
$446,493 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and has a working capital
deficiency of $858,501 and deficit in stockholder's equity of $6,136,191 at
September 30, 2000. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and to obtain
additional capital. Management expects to raise additional capital through
private placements and other types of venture funding. The outcome of these
matters cannot be predicted at this time. No assurances can be given that the
Company will be successful in raising sufficient additional capital. Further,
there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional
funds, that the Company will achieve positive cash flow. If the Company is
unable to obtain adequate additional financing, management will be required to
curtail the Company's operating expenses. These consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and
classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in business.

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and in the opinion
of management reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2000.

2. ECOMMERCE TECHNOLOGY

eCommerce technology arose as part of the acquisition of Xceedx Technologies
Inc. and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which
is 36 months.

3. CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been
within range of management's expectations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, approximately 99% of the
Company's total revenues were generated through sales to one customer [1999 -
nil]. At September 30, 2000, approximately 97% of the Company's accounts
receivable balance were due from this customer [1999 - nil].

4. DEMAND INSTALMENT LOAN

In January 2000, the Company restructured its credit facility with the bank. In
addition, the existing loan was refinanced into a demand instalment of $169,687
(Cdn $250,000). The loan bears interest at the bank prime rate plus 1% and is
repayable in equal monthly principal and interest instalments of $1,563 for the
period March 15, 2000 to February 15, 2015. At September 30, 2000 the balance
outstanding is $166,087.

Interest incurred on the loans amounted to $6,475 for the three months ended

[B] OTHER

On June 13, 2000, the Company granted 541,600 warrants to two of the Company's
officers, as consideration for their guarantee of the demand instalment loan
[note 4] and as consideration for the shareholder loans [note 5(a)]. Each
warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of $.25
per share through June 13, 2002. The estimated fair value of these warrants at
the date of issuance of $48,744 was recorded as an expense in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2000. The Black Scholes
option-pricing model was used to value the warrants with the following
assumptions: no dividend yield; risk-free interest rate of 6.0%; expected
volatility of 1.09; and an expected life of 1.5 years.

6. SHARE CAPITAL (CONT'D.)

[A] COMMON STOCK (CONT'D.)

In August 1999, the Company issued 177,860 common shares at $1.50 per share, for
$266,790, net of financing commissions payable. The net cash proceeds were
received prior to June 30, 1999. Each common share issued has an attached
warrant which entitles the holder to acquire one common share for $1.50 each for
a one-year period and $2.00 each after one year. The warrants expire on June 10,
2001.

On August 15, 1999, the Company issued 100,000 units to a vendor for marketing
and advertising services. Each unit comprised one common share and one warrant
entitling the vendor to acquire one common share for $1.50 each for a one-year
period and $2.00 each after one year [note 12(c)]. On May 18, 2000, the Company
issued an additional 140,000 units to this vendor for marketing and advertising
services. Each unit comprised one common share and one warrant entitling the
vendor to acquire one common share for $.25 each for a one year period, and $.75
each after one year [note 12(c)]. The Company has recorded, in additional paid
in capital, the units issued at their fair value of $281,200. Of this amount,
approximately $142,500 has been recorded as an expense in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2000 and the remainder has
been recorded as a prepaid expense to be amortized over the period the services
are rendered. The Black Scholes option-pricing model was used to value the
warrants with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; risk free interest
rate of 6.0%; expected volatility of 1.09 and an expected life of 1.5 years.

In October and December 1999, the Company issued 99,521 common shares and
warrants to acquire 99,521 common shares for cash proceeds of $136,069. Each
common share has one attached warrant which entitles the holder to acquire one
common share for exercise prices of $1.25 to $1.50 during the first year and
$1.75 to $2.00 during the second year. The warrants expire September 30, 2001 to
October 13, 2001. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, if at any time until
March 31, 2000 the Company issued common shares at a share price of less than
the subscription price paid by the investors, then additional common shares and
warrants would be issued, such that the effective issue price of the common
shares issued is equal to the lower price paid. In January 2000, the Company
issued an additional 172,617 common shares for no additional consideration,
pursuant to this subscription agreement. In addition, the number of warrants
granted was increased by 172,617 to 272,138 and the exercise price decreased to
$.50 during the first year and $.75 during the second year.

In March 2000, the Company issued 12,467 common shares at $.77 per share to a
vendor for marketing services with a fair market value of $9,570.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,962,300 units for cash
proceeds of $890,100 before share issue costs of $16,667. Each unit comprised
one common share and one warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common
share.

The total proceeds of $1,026,169 representing 2,234,438 common shares have been
allocated to the common shares and the warrants based on their relative fair
values. The beneficial conversion feature of the warrants has been determined to
be $564,116 and has been charged to the deficit.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, which also requires
that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair
value of each option granted during the year was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: risk free interest rates of 6%; dividend yield of nil; volatility
factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 1.09 and a
weighted average expected life of the option of 3.8 years.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the vesting period. The Company's pro forma
information for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 is as follows:

For the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, all of the Company's common
shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants were excluded
from the determination of diluted loss per share, as their effect would be
anti-dilutive.

</TABLE>

In conjunction with these agreements, the Company entered into a Collateral
License Agreement covering the licensing of the Company's software to Lee in the
event of a default pursuant to the loan and security agreement. As part of the
loan and security agreement, the Company agreed to grant the note holder an
option to acquire 2,223,285 common shares of the Company. The terms and exercise
price had not been negotiated. Subsequent to the period end the Loan and
Security Agreement was amended as described in note 8 and the Company is no long
required to grant the option. Interest to September 30, 2000 on this loan
amounted to $2,695.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As of November 1, 2000, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with
Lee Enterprises Incorporated (Lee) whereby Lee would provide funding up to
$1,500,000 in the form of a floating rate subordinated convertible debenture.
The $1,500,000 subordinated convertible debenture would consist of a series of
six debentures of $250,000 that would be funded during the period from November
2000 to May 2001. The Company received $250,000 in funding under the debenture
in October 2000. The Investment Agreement provides Lee the right to convert the
floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 6,902,429 common shares of
the Company at conversion price of $0.2173 per common share until October 31,
2003. The Investment Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative
covenants that restrict the Company's activities. Each series of $250,000
subordinated convertible debenture bears interest at the Wall Street Journal
rate less 1%. Interest due on the convertible debenture will be converted to
CityXpress shares at fair market value on the date of conversion. As part of the
Investment Agreement, the Loan and Security Agreement dated August 16, 2000 was
amended by changing the repayment terms and maturity dates of the promissory
notes, as per note 7, to October 31, 2002. The amended agreement also cancelled
Lee right under the Loan Security Agreement to acquire 2,223,285 common shares.
Under the Investment Agreement, the Company has entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement providing Lee the ability to register their shares under the
Investment Agreement based on certain conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

To the Shareholders of
CITYXPRESS.COM CORP.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CITYXPRESS.COM
CORP. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CityXpress.com Corp.
at June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has a limited source of revenue and is
dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to
sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note
1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements are the continuing financial statements
of WelcomeTo Search Engine ("WelcomeTo"), a British Columbia corporation which
was incorporated on October 27, 1997. On January 7, 1999, WelcomeTo acquired
100% of the common shares of CityXpress.com Corp. ("CityXpress.com"), a United
States non-operating company traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board. After the
acquisition on January 7, 1999, the accounting entity continued under the name
of CityXpress.com.

CityXpress.com Corp. ("Company") is a software developer and Internet publisher,
that allows internet consumers to locate and purchase products and services from
online companies in their regional markets. The Company intends to build
alliances with media companies who own newspaper and television stations and
provide them with a suite of Internet products that can be profitably sold to
businesses looking for cost-effective means of establishing and promoting an
eCommerce presence in both their regional markets. The Company currently
operates in only one industry segment and its marketing efforts are currently
targeted to the North American market.

The Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2001
have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization
of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course
of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,342,460 for the year ended
June 30, 2001 and has a working capital deficiency of $702,505 and deficit of
$8,032,158 at June 30, 2001. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and to
obtain additional capital. Management expects to raise additional capital
through private placements and other types of venture fundings. The outcome of
these matters cannot be predicted at this time. No assurances can be given that
the Company will be successful in raising sufficient additional capital.
Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises
additional funds, that the Company will achieve positive cash flow. If the
Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, management will be
required to curtail the Company's operating expenses. These consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and
classifications of assets and liabilities which might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in business.


<PAGE>   56

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The
Company's significant accounting policies are summarized below.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CityXpress.com
Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: WelcomeTo Search Engine Inc. (British
Columbia, Canada) and Xceedx Technologies Inc. (British Columbia, Canada). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on
consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

<TABLE>
         <S>                                          <C>
         Computer equipment and software              3 years
         Office furniture and equipment               5 years
         Leasehold improvements                       Lease term
</TABLE>


<PAGE>   57

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)

ECOMMERCE TECHNOLOGY

eCommerce technology arose as part of the acquisition of Xceedx Technologies
Inc. and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which
is 36 months.

WEB-SITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets, including capital
and intangible assets, based upon estimates using factors such as future asset
utilization, business climate and future non-discounted cash flows expected to
result from the use of the related assets or to be realized on sale. The
Company's policy is to write down assets to their fair value in the period when
it is likely that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees based on
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" and related interpretations, whereby the intrinsic value of options
granted is recorded at the measurement date. Compensation expense is calculated
based on the difference, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the
Company's stock and the exercise price and is recorded over the vesting period
of the options. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" for stock options granted to employees.

Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for under SFAS No. 123
using the fair value method. Compensation expense is calculated using the Black
Scholes pricing model and recorded over the period the services are rendered.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Through March 31, 2000, the functional currency of the Company was the Canadian
dollar, while the reporting currency in the consolidated financial statements
was the U.S. dollar. Asset and liability accounts were translated into U.S.
dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and
expense amounts were translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Gains
or losses resulting from this process were recorded in stockholders' equity as
an adjustment to other comprehensive loss.

Effective April 1, 2000, the functional currency of the Company changed to the
U.S. dollar. Accordingly, for the Canadian subsidiaries, monetary assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the
balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates
prevailing at the historic rate. Revenue and expenses are translated at the
average exchange rate for the year. Gains or losses arising on this foreign
currency translation are recorded in income.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company enters into sales contracts that may encompass multiple elements,
including hosting fees and initial set-up fees. The total fee for a multiple
element arrangement is allocated to each element based upon objective evidence
of the fair value of each element. Fair value is established through the
Company's policy to charge customers the same price as when the element is sold
separately. Hosting fees are recognized monthly as the services are performed.
An initial set-up fee is recognized when the client's web site is activated for
the world wide web, at which time the Company retains no material conditions or
obligations to the customer.

In addition, the Company recognizes revenues from license fees and training
fees. License fees are recognized monthly as the services are performed.
Training fees are recognized in the period services are performed.

Cash received in advance of services rendered are treated as deferred revenue.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Product development costs incurred after technological feasibility of a product
is established are capitalized. Technological feasibility is generally not
established until substantially all related product development is complete and
the product is released. In accordance with this policy, all product development
costs incurred to date have been expensed as incurred.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $80,384 in the year
ended June 30, 2001 [2000 - $192,042].

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Recognition of deferred tax assets
is limited to amounts considered by management to be more likely than not of
realization in future periods.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per common share is computed giving
effect to all potential dilutive options and warrants that were outstanding
during the period. For the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, all outstanding
options and warrants were anti-dilutive.

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) during
the year except those resulting from capital transactions. Other comprehensive
income represents foreign currency translation adjustments for all years
presented.


<PAGE>   60

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Amounts reported for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due
to the relatively short periods to maturity of the instruments. The carrying
value of the demand instalment loan and shareholders' loans approximates fair
value due to variable market interest rates being charged on outstanding
balances.

4. CREDIT RISK AND OTHER

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and
maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been
within range of management's expectations.

For the year ended June 30, 2001, approximately 89% of the Company's total
revenues were generated through sales to one customer [2000 - 89%]. At June 30,
2001, approximately 73% of the Company's accounts receivable balance was due
from this customer [2000 - 87%]. In addition, the Company utilizes a business
directory listing provided to the Company by a supplier pursuant to an annual
license agreement.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the maturity dates were changed from
November 17, 2000, November 28, 2000 and December 19, 2000 respectively, to
October 31, 2002.

In conjunction with these agreements, the Company entered into a Collateral
License Agreement covering the licensing of the Company's software to Lee in the
event of a default pursuant to the loan and security agreement. Interest for the
year ended June 30, 2001 on this loan amounted to $20,838 [2000 - $0].


<PAGE>   62

8. LOAN DEBENTURE

On November 1, 2000, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Lee
Enterprises Incorporated (Lee) whereby Lee would provide funding of up to
$1,500,000 in the form of a floating rate subordinated convertible debenture.
The $1,500,000 subordinated convertible debenture would consist of a series of
six debentures of $250,000 that would be funded during the period from November
2000 to May 2001. The Company received $1,500,000 in funding under the debenture
from October 2000 to June 2001. The Investment Agreement provides Lee the right
to convert the floating rate subordinated convertible debenture into 6,902,429
common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.2173 per common share.
If Lee does not convert the debenture to common shares the Company will have to
repay the $1,500,000 loan on October 31, 2003. The Investment Agreement also
contains certain affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the Company's
activities. As of June 30, 2001, the Company is in compliance with all the
covenants in the Investment Agreement. Each series of $250,000 subordinated
convertible debenture bears interest at the Wall Street Journal rate less 1%.
The weighted average effective rate for the year ended June 30, 2001 is 8%.
Interest due on the convertible debenture can be repaid or converted to
CityXpress shares at fair market value on the date of conversion. The investment
Agreement includes a Registration Rights Agreement providing Lee the ability to
require the company to register the shares issuable under the Investment
Agreement based on certain conditions.

9. DEMAND INSTALMENT LOAN

In January 2000, the Company refinanced its demand term loan, whereby it
increased the loan amount to $169,687 (Cdn $250,000). The loan bears interest at
the bank prime rate plus 1% and is repayable in equal monthly principal and
interest instalments of $1,619 through February 2015, unless the loan is called
on demand by the bank.

Annual principal repayments for this loan for the years succeeding June 30, 2001
are:

12. SHARE CAPITAL

[A] COMMON STOCK

In August 1999, the Company issued 177,860 common shares at $1.50 per share, for
$266,790, net of financing commissions payable. The net cash proceeds were
received prior to June 30, 1999. Each common share issued has an attached
warrant which entitles the holder to acquire one common share for $1.50 each for
a one year period, and $2.00 each after one year. The warrants expire on June
10, 2001.

On August 15, 1999, the Company issued 100,000 units to a vendor for marketing
and advertising services. Each unit comprised one common share and one warrant
entitling the vendor to acquire


<PAGE>   66

one common share for $1.50 each for a one year period, and $2.00 each after one
year [note 12(c)]. On May 18, 2000, the Company issued an additional 140,000
units to this vendor for marketing and advertising services. Each unit comprised
one common share and one warrant entitling the vendor to acquire one common
share for $.25 each for a one year period, and $.75 each after one year [note
12(c)]. The Company has recorded, in additional paid in capital, the units
issued at their fair value of $281,200. Of this amount, approximately $142,500
has been recorded as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended June 30, 2000 and the remainder has been recorded as a prepaid
expense to be amortized over the period the services are rendered. The Black
Scholes option pricing model was used to value the warrants with the following
assumptions: no dividend yield; risk free interest rate of 6.0%; expected
volatility of 1.09 and an expected life of 1.5 years.

In October and December 1999, the Company issued 99,521 common shares and
warrants to acquire 99,521 common shares for cash proceeds of $136,069. Each
common share has one attached warrant which entitles the holder to acquire one
common share for exercise prices of $1.25 to $1.50 during the first year and
$1.75 to $2.00 during the second year. The warrants expire September 30, 2001 to
October 13, 2001. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, if at any time until
March 31, 2000 the Company issued common shares at a share price of less than
the subscription price paid by the investors, then additional common shares and
warrants would be issued, such that the effective issue price of the common
shares issued is equal to the lower price paid. In January 2000, the Company
issued an additional 172,617 common shares for no additional consideration,
pursuant to this subscription agreement. In addition, the number of warrants
granted was increased by 172,617 to 272,138 and the exercise price decreased to
$.50 during the first year and $.75 during the second year.

During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 1,962,300 units for cash
proceeds of $890,100 before share issue costs of $16,667. Each unit comprised
one common share and one warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common
share [note 12(c)]. The proceeds of $1,026,169 have been allocated to the common
shares and the warrants based on their relative fair values. The beneficial
conversion feature of the warrants has been determined to be $564,116 and has
been charged to the deficit.

[B] STOCK OPTIONS

On August 25, 1999, and amended on November 29, 2000 the Board of Directors
approved the creation of the Corporate Stock Option Plan ("Plan") pursuant to
which the Company has reserved 3,000,000 [2000 - 2,000,000] shares of common
stock. The terms and vesting period of options are determined by the directors
at the date of grant. The majority of the options granted to date are
exercisable over a four year period and vest on a cumulative basis at 1/3 per
year.

In August 1999, the Company granted 675,000 stock options to employees below the
fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant.
Compensation expense of $226,898, calculated based on the intrinsic value
method, has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended June 30, 2000. On December 8, 2000, the Company cancelled these stock
options.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123, which also requires
that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair
value of each option granted during the year was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: risk free interest rates of 5% [2000 - 6%]; dividend yields of nil;
volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of
1.39 [2000 - 1.09] and a weighted average expected life of the option of 3.03
years [2000 - 3.8 years].

statement for a United States public offering within twenty days of such notice.
The notice shall provide for a redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date")

principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may
redeem the principal amount of the Debenture to be redeemed pursuant to this

"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of

Debenture (the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the
Company times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in paragraph 2
hereof (the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock
shall be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the
Debenture, but any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest
whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows

                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time; distributions to such
                  holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain
                  rights to purchase securities of the Company (excluding cash
                  dividends or distributions from current or retained earnings).
                  The Company shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants
                  or securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.2173 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under paragraph 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within

                  8.       Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default, as
defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the

for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Debenture

waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the President of the Company, whose signature shall be

statement for a United States public offering within twenty days of such notice.
The notice shall provide for a redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date")

amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may

"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of

in paragraph 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common

Debenture (the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the
Company times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in paragraph 2
hereof (the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock
shall be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the
Debenture, but any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest
whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time

                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time; distributions to such
                  holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain
                  rights to purchase securities of the Company (excluding cash

                  The Company shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants
                  or securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.2173 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under paragraph 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such

days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the

to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The

defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the
manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Investment Agreement.

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,

waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the President of the Company, whose signature shall be
guaranteed.

principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may

"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of

in paragraph 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common

Debenture (the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the
Company times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in paragraph 2
hereof (the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock
shall be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the
Debenture, but any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest
whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows

                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time; distributions to such
                  holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain
                  rights to purchase securities of the Company (excluding cash
                  dividends or distributions from current or retained earnings).
                  The Company shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants
                  or securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.2173 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under paragraph 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within

days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the

to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The

defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,

waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid

Debenture is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment
and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice

                  4.       Optional Redemption. The Debenture will not be

thirty consecutive days ended with five trading days prior to the date notice of
such optional redemption is given or (y) the Company delivers notice to the

principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may

<PAGE>   105

                  4.       Notice of Redemption. Notice of the mandatory

Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock
(as defined below) of the Company at any time before the close of business on
the earlier to occur of the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption
Date, as the case may be, subject to the benefits of the Registration Rights
Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in Section 2 hereof
(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or
                  securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.1760 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the

<PAGE>   106

conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the shares of Common Stock to
which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this Debenture and the amount of
cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this Debenture to said conversion
date.

                  7.       Subordination. The Debentures are subordinated only
to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The
Company agrees, and the Debenture Holder by accepting this Debenture agrees, to
the Senior Existing Indebtedness subordination.

                  8.       Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default, as
defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the
manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Investment Agreement.

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Debenture
Holder by accepting this Debenture waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, whose signature
shall be guaranteed.

                  THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE

and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.

                  2.       Optional Redemption. The Debenture will not be
redeemable prior to October 31, 2003, unless (x) the quoted price on any
securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
through NASDAQ of the Common Stock (the "Quoted Price") shall have equaled or
exceeded 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5) for at least
thirty consecutive days ended with five trading days prior to the date notice of
such optional redemption is given or (y) the Company delivers notice to the
Purchaser that the Company in good faith intends to file a registration
statement for a United States public offering within twenty days of such notice.
The notice shall provide for a redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date")
not less than fifteen days from the date thereof. The Company will redeem the
principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may
redeem the principal amount of the Debenture to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 2 by subtracting 100 percent of the principal amount of the Debenture
that Debenture Holder shall have converted to Common Stock, which the Debenture
Holder has delivered to the Company for cancellation. The Company may redeem the
amount of this Debenture only once pursuant to this Section 2.

                  3.       Mandatory Redemption. The Company will redeem the

<PAGE>   113

to the Debenture Holder at its registered address in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Investment Agreement.

                  5.       Conversion. A Debenture Holder may convert any
Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock
(as defined below) of the Company at any time before the close of business on
the earlier to occur of the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption
Date, as the case may be, subject to the benefits of the Registration Rights
Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in Section 2 hereof
(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (a) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or
                  securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.1760 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the
shares of Common

<PAGE>   114

Stock to which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this Debenture and the
amount of cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this Debenture to said
conversion date.

                  7.       Subordination. The Debentures are subordinated only
to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The
Company agrees, and the Debenture Holder by accepting this Debenture agrees, to
the Senior Existing Indebtedness subordination.

                  8.       Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default, as
defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the
manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Investment Agreement.

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Debenture
Holder by accepting this Debenture waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, whose signature
shall be guaranteed.

                  THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE

Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The

and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.

                  2.       Optional Redemption. The Debenture will not be
redeemable prior to October 31, 2003, unless (x) the quoted price on any
securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
through NASDAQ of the Common Stock (the "Quoted Price") shall have equaled or
exceeded 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5) for at least
thirty consecutive days ended with five trading days prior to the date notice of
such optional redemption is given or (y) the Company delivers notice to the
Purchaser that the Company in good faith intends to file a registration
statement for a United States public offering within twenty days of such notice.
The notice shall provide for a redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date")
not less than fifteen days from the date thereof. The Company will redeem the
principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may
redeem the principal amount of the Debenture to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 2 by subtracting 100 percent of the principal amount of the Debenture
that Debenture Holder shall have converted to Common Stock, which the Debenture
Holder has delivered to the Company for cancellation. The Company may redeem the
amount of this Debenture only once pursuant to this Section 2.

                  3.       Mandatory Redemption. The Company will redeem the
principal amount of the Debenture on October 31, 2003 (the "Mandatory Redemption

<PAGE>   121

to the Debenture Holder at its registered address in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Investment Agreement.

                  5.       Conversion. A Debenture Holder may convert any
Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock
(as defined below) of the Company at any time before the close of business on
the earlier to occur of the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption
Date, as the case may be, subject to the benefits of the Registration Rights
Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in Section 2 hereof
(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (a) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or
                  securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.1760 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the
shares of Common

<PAGE>   122

Stock to which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this Debenture and the
amount of cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this Debenture to said
conversion date.

                  7.       Subordination. The Debentures are subordinated only
to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The
Company agrees, and the Debenture Holder by accepting this Debenture agrees, to
the Senior Existing Indebtedness subordination.

                  8.       Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default, as
defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the
manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Investment Agreement.

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Debenture
Holder by accepting this Debenture waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, whose signature
shall be guaranteed.

                  THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE

Debenture is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment
and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice
to the contrary.

                  2.       Optional Redemption. The Debenture will not be
redeemable prior to October 31, 2003, unless (x) the quoted price on any
securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
through NASDAQ of the Common Stock (the "Quoted Price") shall have equaled or
exceeded 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5) for at least
thirty consecutive days ended with five trading days prior to the date notice of
such optional redemption is given or (y) the Company delivers notice to the
Purchaser that the Company in good faith intends to file a registration
statement for a United States public offering within twenty days of such notice.
The notice shall provide for a redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date")
not less than fifteen days from the date thereof. The Company will redeem the
principal amount of the Debenture at a redemption price of 100% of principal
amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may
redeem the principal amount of the Debenture to be redeemed pursuant to this
Section 2 by subtracting 100 percent of the principal amount of the Debenture
that Debenture Holder shall have converted to Common Stock, which the Debenture
Holder has delivered to the Company for cancellation. The Company may redeem the
amount of this Debenture only once pursuant to this Section 2.

                  3.       Mandatory Redemption. The Company will redeem the

<PAGE>   129

to the Debenture Holder at its registered address in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Investment Agreement.

                  5.       Conversion. A Debenture Holder may convert any
Debenture, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock
(as defined below) of the Company at any time before the close of business on
the earlier to occur of the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption
Date, as the case may be, subject to the benefits of the Registration Rights
Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in Section 2 hereof
(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or
                  securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.1760 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the
shares of Common

<PAGE>   130

Stock to which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this Debenture and the
amount of cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this Debenture to said
conversion date.

to the Senior Existing Indebtedness, as defined in the Investment Agreement. The
Senior Existing Indebtedness must be paid before the Debentures may be paid. The
Company agrees, and the Debenture Holder by accepting this Debenture agrees, to
the Senior Existing Indebtedness subordination.

                  8.       Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default, as
defined in the Investment Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of
this Debenture may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the
manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Investment Agreement.

                  9.       No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer,
employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under this Debenture for any claim based on,
in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Debenture
Holder by accepting this Debenture waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Debenture.

                  10.      Authentication. This Debenture shall not be valid
until executed by the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, whose signature
shall be guaranteed.

                  THIS DEBENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE

Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the

(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time

                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or

                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the
shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this
Debenture and the amount of cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this
Debenture to said conversion date.

amount, plus accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may

the earlier to occur of the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption
Date, as the case may be, subject to the benefits of the Registration Rights
Agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser dated November 1, 2000.
"Common Stock" means the shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
the Company. The Debenture shall be converted, subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 6, on the basis of the aggregate of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock
of the Company for each $0.1760 of principal debt balance due on the Debenture
(the "Conversion Price") and (b) one (1) share of Common Stock of the Company
times the quotient of (i) the accrued interest on the Debenture to the
Conversion Date divided by (ii) the Quoted Price as defined in Section 2 hereof
(the "Interest Conversion Rate"). No fraction of a share of Common Stock shall
be deliverable in payment of principal or accrued interest on the Debenture, but
any fraction of a share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole share.

                  6.       Anti-Dilution Rights. The Conversion Price from time
to time in effect shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock
                  dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price
                  in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the
                  issuance of such dividend shall be proportionately decreased,
                  and in case the Company shall at any time combine the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
                  effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
                  proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
                  on the date of such subdivision, dividend or combination, as
                  the case may be.

                  (b) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or
                  distributions on Common Stock payable in the Company's stock;
                  subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of
                  Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of
                  certain rights to purchase Common Stock at less than the
                  current market price at the time. Except for the Series A-F
                  Debentures issued under the Investment Agreement, the Company
                  shall not issue Common Stock and rights, warrants or
                  securities convertible into Common Stock at a purchase or
                  conversion price less than $0.1760 during the term of the
                  Investment Agreement.

                  The Debenture Holder shall give notice to the Company of its
election to cause conversion under Section 5 hereof, in accordance with the
notice provisions of the Investment Agreement at least fifteen days but not more
than thirty days prior to the conversion date, which notice shall specify said
conversion date, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
conversion and the amount of accrued interest to said conversion date. Within
ten days of receipt of the conversion notice, Debenture Holder shall receive the
shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled upon conversion of this
Debenture and the amount of cash payable in respect of accrued interest on this
Debenture to said conversion date.
