         The undersigned,  NuWave Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"),  hereby agrees with Newbridge Securities Corporation (the "Placement
Agent") and Cornell Capital  Partners,  LP, a Delaware Limited  Partnership (the
"Investor"), as follows:

         1. Offering.  The Company hereby engages the Placement  Agent to act as
its exclusive placement agent in connection with the Standby Equity Distribution
Agreement dated the date hereof (the "Standby Equity  Distribution  Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor, from time to
time, and the Investor  shall  purchase from the Company (the  "Offering") up to
Thirty Million U.S. Dollars  (US$30,000,000)  of the Company's common stock (the
"Commitment  Amount"),  par value  US$0.001 per share (the "Common  Stock"),  at
price per share  equal to the  Purchase  Price,  as that term is  defined in the
Standby  Equity  Distribution  Agreement.  The Placement  Agent  services  shall
consist of reviewing the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution  Agreement and
advising the Company with respect to those terms.

         All  capitalized  terms used herein and not  otherwise  defined  herein
shall  have  the  same  meaning  ascribed  to  them  as in  the  Standby  Equity
Distribution Agreement. The Investor will be granted certain registration rights
with  respect  to the Common  Stock as more fully set forth in the  Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and the Investor dated the date hereof (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").  The documents to be executed and delivered in
connection  with the  Offering,  including,  but not limited,  to the  Company's
latest  Quarterly  Report  on Form  10-QSB  as  filed  with  the  United  States
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,   this  Agreement,   the  Standby  Equity
Distribution  Agreement,  the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,  and the  Escrow
Agreement  dated the date  hereof  (the  "Escrow  Agreement"),  are  referred to
sometimes  hereinafter  collectively as the "Offering  Materials." The Company's
Common Stock  purchased by the Investor  hereunder or to be issued in connection
with the conversion of any  debentures are sometimes  referred to hereinafter as
the  "Securities."  The  Placement  Agent  shall  not be  obligated  to sell any
Securities.

whatsoever  or in  appearing  or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any
action,  suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry,  investigation  or pretrial
proceeding  such  as  a  deposition)  to  which  the  Placement  Agent  or  such
indemnified person of the Placement Agent may become subject under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or any other  federal or state law or
regulation, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue

actually and reasonably paid by the  indemnified  person as to which the Company
has  indemnified  such person  pursuant  hereto.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing
provisions of this  Paragraph  7(A),  any such payment or  reimbursement  by the
Company of fees, expenses or disbursements  incurred by an indemnified person in
any  proceeding in which a final  judgment by a court of competent  jurisdiction
(after all appeals or the  expiration of time to appeal) is entered  against the
Placement Agent or such  indemnified  person based upon specific finding of fact
that the  Placement  Agent or such  indemnified  person's  gross  negligence  or
willful misfeasance will be promptly repaid to the Company.

         B. The Placement  Agent hereby  agrees that it will  indemnify and hold
the Company and each officer, director, shareholder,  employee or representative

         C. The  Investor  hereby  agrees  that it will  indemnify  and hold the
Placement   Agent  and  each  officer,   director,   shareholder,   employee  or
representative of the Placement Agent, and each person  controlling,  controlled
by or under  common  control  with the  Placement  Agent  within the  meaning of
Section  15 of the 1933 Act or  Section  20 of the  1934  Act or the  Rules  and
Regulations,  harmless  from  and  against  any and  all  loss,  claim,  damage,
liability,  cost or expense whatsoever  (including,  but not limited to, any and
all  reasonable  legal fees and other  expenses  and  disbursements  incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit
or proceeding, including any inquiry or investigation,  commenced or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever or in appearing or preparing for appearance as a witness
in any action,  suit or  proceeding,  including  any inquiry,  investigation  or
pretrial  proceeding  such as a deposition) to which the Placement Agent or such
indemnified person of the Placement Agent may become subject under the 1933 Act,
the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or any other  federal or state law or
regulation,  common  law or  otherwise,  arising  out of or  based  upon (i) the
conduct of the Investor or its  officers,  employees or  representatives  in its
acting  as the  Investor  for the  Offering,  (ii) the  material  breach  of any
representation,  warranty,  covenant or  agreement  made by the  Investor in the
Offering Materials, or (iii) any false or misleading information provided to the
Placement Agent by one of the Investor's indemnified persons.

         D. The Placement  Agent hereby  agrees that it will  indemnify and hold
the Investor and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or representative
of the  Investor,  and each person  controlling,  controlled  by or under common
control  with the  Investor  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section  20 of the 1934 Act or the  Rules  and  Regulations,  harmless  from and
against any and all loss, claim, damage,  liability,  cost or expense whatsoever
(including,  but not  limited  to, any and all  reasonable  legal fees and other
expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with investigating,  preparing
to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding,  including any inquiry or
investigation,  commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever or in appearing
or preparing  for  appearance  as a witness in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
including  any  inquiry,   investigation  or  pretrial   proceeding  such  as  a
deposition) to which the Investor or such indemnified person of the Investor may
become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the Rules and  Regulations,  or
any other federal or state law or regulation,  common law or otherwise,  arising
out of or based  upon  the  material  breach  of any  representation,  warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Placement Agent in this Agreement.

         E.  Promptly  after  receipt  by an  indemnified  party  of  notice  of
commencement  of any action covered by Section 7(A),  (B), (C) or (D), the party
to be indemnified shall,  within five (5) business days, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement  thereof; the omission by one (1) indemnified party to
so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligation to indemnify any other  indemnified  party that has given such notice
and shall not relieve the  indemnifying  party of any liability  outside of this
indemnification  if not  materially  prejudiced  thereby.  In the event that any
action is brought against the indemnified  party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate  therein and, to the extent it may desire, to assume and
control  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  chosen by it which is  reasonably
acceptable to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such  indemnified  party of its election to so assume the defense  thereof,  the
indemnifying  party  will not be liable to such  indemnified  party  under  such
Section  7(A),  (B),  (C), or (D) for any legal or other  expenses  subsequently
incurred by such indemnified  party in


                                       10
<PAGE>

connection with the defense thereof,  but the indemnified  party may, at its own
expense,  participate in such defense by counsel chosen by it, without, however,
impairing  the  indemnifying  party's  control  of the  defense.  Subject to the
proviso of this sentence and notwithstanding any other statement to the contrary
contained  herein,  the  indemnified  party or  parties  shall have the right to
choose its or their own counsel  and  control the defense of any action,  all at
the expense of the  indemnifying  party if (i) the  employment  of such  counsel
shall have been  authorized in writing by the  indemnifying  party in connection
with the  defense of such action at the expense of the  indemnifying  party,  or
(ii)  the  indemnifying   party  shall  not  have  employed  counsel  reasonably
satisfactory  to such  indemnified  party to have  charge of the defense of such
action within a reasonable time after notice of  commencement of the action,  or
(iii) such  indemnified  party or parties shall have  reasonably  concluded that
there  may be  defenses  available  to it or them  which are  different  from or
additional  to those  available  to one or all of the  indemnifying  parties (in
which  case the  indemnifying  parties  shall not have the  right to direct  the
defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of
which events such fees and expenses of one additional  counsel shall be borne by
the indemnifying  party;  provided,  however,  that the indemnifying party shall
not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially  similar or
related  actions  in the  same  jurisdiction  arising  out of the  same  general
allegations or  circumstance,  be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate  firm of  attorneys at any time for all such  indemnified
parties.  No settlement of any action or proceeding against an indemnified party
shall be made without the consent of the indemnifying party.

         F.  In  order  to  provide  for  just  and  equitable  contribution  in
circumstances in which the indemnification  provided for in Section 7(A) or 7(B)
is due in accordance  with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be
unavailable  on grounds of policy or  otherwise,  the Company and the  Placement
Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses,  claims, damages and liabilities
(including  legal or other expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection with the
investigation  or defense of same) which the other may incur in such  proportion
so that the  Placement  Agent  shall be  responsible  for  such  percent  of the
aggregate of such losses,  claims,  damages and  liabilities  as shall equal the
percentage of the gross  proceeds  paid to the  Placement  Agent and the Company
shall be responsible for the balance;  provided,  however, that no person guilty
of fraudulent  misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent  misrepresentation.  For  purposes of this Section  7(F),  any person
controlling,  controlled by or under common control with the Placement Agent, or
any partner,  director,  officer,  employee,  representative or any agent of any
thereof,  shall have the same rights to  contribution as the Placement Agent and
each person controlling,  controlled by or under common control with the Company
within  the  meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
and each officer of the Company and each  director of the Company shall have the
same rights to contribution  as the Company.  Any party entitled to contribution
will,  promptly after receipt of notice of commencement  of any action,  suit or
proceeding  against such party in respect of which a claim for  contribution may
be made against the other party under this Section 7(D),  notify such party from
whom contribution may be sought,  but the omission to so notify such party shall
not relieve the party from whom  contribution  may be sought from any obligation
they may have hereunder or otherwise if the party from whom  contribution may be
sought is not materially prejudiced thereby.


                                       11
<PAGE>


         G. The indemnity and contribution  agreements contained in this Section
7 shall  remain  operative  and in  full  force  and  effect  regardless  of any
investigation  made by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any termination
of this Agreement.

         H. The Company hereby waives,  to the fullest extent  permitted by law,
any right to or claim of any punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, special,
consequential or other damages (including,  without limitation, loss of profits)
against the Placement Agent and each officer, director, shareholder, employee or
representative of the placement agent and each person controlling, controlled by
or under common  control with the Placement  Agent within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or  Section  20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and  Regulations
arising out of any cause  whatsoever  (whether  such cause be based in contract,
negligence, strict liability, other tort or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate liability of the Placement Agent
and each  officer,  director,  shareholder,  employee or  representative  of the
Placement  Agent and each  person  controlling,  controlled  by or under  common
control  with the  Placement  Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act or the Rules and Regulations  shall not exceed
the  compensation  received by the Placement Agent pursuant to Section 2 hereof.
This  limitation  of liability  shall apply  regardless  of the cause of action,
whether contract, tort (including, without limitation,  negligence) or breach of
statute or any other legal or equitable obligation.

         8.       Payment of Expenses.

         The Company  hereby  agrees to bear all of the  expenses in  connection
with the Offering,  including,  but not limited to the  following:  filing fees,
printing and duplicating  costs,  advertisements,  postage and mailing  expenses
with respect to the transmission of Offering  Materials,  registrar and transfer
agent fees,  escrow agent fees and expenses,  fees of the Company's  counsel and
accountants, issue and transfer taxes, if any.

         9.       Conditions of Closing.

         The  Closing  shall  be  held at the  offices  of the  Investor  or its
counsel.  The  obligations of the Placement  Agent hereunder shall be subject to
the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and
the  Investor  herein as of the date  hereof and as of the Date of Closing  (the
"Closing Date") with respect to the Company or the Investor, as the case may be,
as if it had been made on and as of such Closing Date; the accuracy on and as of
the Closing Date of the  statements of the officers of the Company made pursuant

following further conditions:

                  A. Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement covering

thereof, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Investor, their counsel and the Placement Agent.

                  B. At or prior to the Closing,  the Investor and the Placement
Agent shall have been furnished such documents,  certificates and opinions as it
may  reasonably  require for the purpose of enabling them to review or pass upon
the matters  referred to in this  Agreement  and the Offering  Materials,  or in
order to evidence  the  accuracy,  completeness  or  satisfaction  of any of the
representations, warranties or conditions herein contained.

the Company from the latest dates as of which such condition is set forth in the

administrative  agency,  domestic or foreign,  wherein an unfavorable  decision,
ruling or finding could materially adversely affect the businesses, prospects or
financial  condition  or  income  of the  Company,  except  as set  forth in the
Offering Materials.

                  D. If  requested  at Closing the  Investor  and the  Placement

obligations  of the Company  shall  survive the  termination  of this  Agreement
unabridged.
