Section  2.  PURCHASE  AND  SALE  OF  COMMON  STOCK.

     (a)  Purchase  and  Sale  of  Common  Stock.  Subject  to  the  terms  and
conditions  set  forth herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor,
and  the  Investor  shall purchase from the Company, up to that number of Shares
having  an  aggregate  Purchase  Price  of  Five  Million  Dollars ($5,000,000).

     (b)  Delivery  of  Put  Notices.

     (i)  Subject  to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents, and
from  time  to  time  during  the  Open  Period,  the  Company  may, in its sole
discretion,  deliver  a  Put  Notice to the Investor which states the Put Amount
which  the  Company  intends to sell to the Investor on a Closing Date.  The Put
Notice shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein
by  reference.  The  amount  that  the  Company  shall be entitled to Put to the
Investor  in  any single Put Notice (the "Put Amount") shall be equal to, at the
Company's  election, either: (a) two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily
volume  (U.S.  market  only)  of  the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days
prior  to the applicable Put Notice Date, multiplied by the average of the three
(3)  daily  closing  Best  Bid prices immediately preceding the Put Date, or (b)
twenty-five  thousand  $25,000; provided that in no event will the Put Amount be
more  than  One  Million  Dollars  ($1,000,000)  with respect to any single Put.
During the Open Period, the Company shall not be entitled to submit a Put Notice
until  after the previous Closing has been completed. The Purchase Price for the
Common  Stock  identified  in  the Put Notice shall be equal to 95% of the three
lowest  closing  Best  Bid  price of the Common Stock during the Pricing Period.

     (ii)  If  any  closing  bid price during the applicable Pricing Period with
respect  to  that  Put  Notice  is  less than 75% of the lowest closing Best Bid
prices  of the Common Stock for the fifteen Trading Days prior to the Put Notice
Date  (the  "Minimum  Acceptable  Price"),  the Put Notice will terminate at the
Company's  request.  In  the event that the closing bid price for the applicable
Pricing Period is less than the Minimum Acceptable Price, the Company may elect,
by  sending  written  notice  to  the  Investor  to  cancel  the  Put  Notice.

     (iii)  Within  seven  calendar days prior the commencement of each calendar
quarter occurring subsequent to the commencement of the Open Period, the Company
shall  undertake  to notify Investor as to its reasonable expectations as to the
Put Amount it intends to raise during such calendar quarter, if any, through the
issuance  of  Put Notices. Such notification shall constitute only the Company's
good  faith  estimate  with respect to such calendar quarter and shall in no way
obligate  the  Company  to  raise  such  amount  during such calendar quarter or
otherwise limit its ability to deliver Put Notices during such calendar quarter.
The  failure  by  the  Company  to  comply  with  this provision may be cured by
notifying  the  Investor at any time as to the Company's reasonable expectations
with  respect  to  the  current  calendar  quarter.

     (c)  Interest.  It  is  the intention of the parties that any interest that
may  be  deemed  to be payable under this Agreement shall not exceed the maximum
amount  permitted  under  applicable law. If any applicable law sets the maximum
interest  amount,  and  any  payment  required under this Agreement exceeds such
limit,  then:  (i)  any  such  interest  shall  be  reduced  by  the  amount

<PAGE>
necessary  to  reduce  the interest to the legally permitted limit; and (ii) any
sums  already collected (if any) from a party which exceed the legally permitted
limits  will  be  refunded  to  such  party.

     (d)  Investor's  Obligation  to Purchase Shares.  Subject to the conditions
set  forth  in  this  Agreement,  following  the Investor's receipt of a validly
delivered  Put  Notice,  the  Investor  shall  be  required to purchase from the
Company  during  the  related  Pricing  Period  that  number of Shares having an
aggregate  Purchase Price equal to the lesser of (i) the Put Amount set forth in
the Put Notice, and (ii) 20% of the aggregate trading volume of the Common Stock
during  the  applicable Pricing Period times (x) 95% of the three lowest closing
bid  prices  of  the Company's Common Stock during the specified Pricing Period,
but  only  if  said  Shares  bear no restrictive legend, are not subject to stop
transfer instructions, pursuant to Section 2(h), prior to the applicable Closing
Date.


     (e)  Limitation  on  Investor's Obligation to Purchase Shares.  In no event
shall  the  Investor  purchase  Shares (whether from the Company or in public or
private secondary transactions) other than pursuant to this Agreement until such
date  as  this  Agreement  is  terminated.

     (f)  Conditions  to  Investor's  Obligation  to  Purchase  Shares.
Notwithstanding  anything  to  the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall
not  be entitled to deliver a Put Notice and the Investor shall not be obligated
to  purchase any Shares at a Closing (as defined in Section 2(h)) unless each of
the  following  conditions  are  satisfied:

     (i)  a  Registration Statement shall have been declared effective and shall
remain  effective and available for the resale of all the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) at all times until the Closing
with  respect  to  the  subject  Put  Notice;

     (ii)  at  all  times  during the period beginning on the related Put Notice
Date  and  ending  on  and  including the related Closing Date, the Common Stock
shall have been listed on the Principal Market and shall not have been suspended
from  trading  thereon  for a period of five consecutive Trading Days during the
Open  Period  or one day during a Pricing Period, and the Company shall not have
been notified of any pending or threatened proceeding or other action to de-list
or  suspend  the  Common  Stock;

     (iii) the Company has complied with its obligations and is otherwise not in
breach  of  a  material  provision  of, or in default under, this Agreement, the
Registration  Rights  Agreement  or  any  other agreement executed in connection
herewith  which has not been corrected prior to delivery of the Put Notice Date;

     (iv)  no  injunction  shall have been issued and remain in force, or action
commenced  by  a  governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned,
prohibiting  the  purchase  or  the  issuance  of  the  Securities;  and

     (v)  the  issuance  of  the  Securities  will  not  violate any shareholder
approval  requirements  of  the  Principal  Market.

If  any of the events described in clauses (i) through (v) above occurs during a
Pricing  Period,  then the Investor shall have no obligation to purchase the Put
Amount  of  Common  Stock  set  forth  in  the  applicable  Put  Notice.

<PAGE>

     (g)  Major  Transaction.  For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  a  "Major
Transaction"  shall  be  deemed  to have occurred upon the closing of any of the
following events: (i) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of
the  Company  with  or  into  another person (other than pursuant to a migratory
merger  effected  solely  for  the  purposes  of  changing  the  jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Company or other than a transaction in which the Company is
the  surviving  corporation);  (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially
all  of the Company's assets; or (iii) the consummation of a purchase, tender or
exchange  offer  made  to,  and accepted by, the holders of more than 50% of the
economic  interest  in,  or  the  combined voting power of all classes of voting
stock  of,  the  Company.

     (h)  Mechanics  of  Purchase  of  Shares  by  Investor.  Subject  to  the
satisfaction  of the conditions set forth in Sections 2(f), 7 and 8, the closing
of  the purchase by the Investor of Shares (a "Closing") shall occur on the date
which  is  no  later than seven Trading Days following the applicable Put Notice
Date (each a "Closing Date").  Prior to each Closing Date, (i) the Company shall
deliver  to  the  Investor  pursuant  to  the  this  Agreement,  certificates
representing the Shares to be issued to the Investor on such date and registered
in  the name of the Investor; and (ii) the Investor shall deliver to the Company
the  Purchase  Price  to  be  paid  for  such Shares, determined as set forth in
accordance  with  the  terms  of  this Agreement. In lieu of delivering physical
certificates  representing  the  Securities  and  provided  that  the  Company's
transfer  agent  then  is  participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast  Automated  Securities  Transfer  ("FAST")  program,  upon  request  of the
Investor, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
transfer  agent  to  electronically  transmit  the  Securities  by crediting the
account of the Investor's prime broker (which shall be specified by the Investor
a reasonably sufficient time in advance) with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent  Commission  ("DWAC")  system.

     The  Company  understands that a delay in the issuance of Securities beyond
the  Closing  Date  could  result  in  economic loss to the Investor.  After the
Effective  Date,  as  compensation  to  the  Investor for such loss, the Company
agrees  to  pay  late  payments  to the Investor for late issuance of Securities
(delivery  of  Securities  after the applicable Closing Date) in accordance with
the  following  schedule  (where  "No. of Days Late" is defined as the number of
days  beyond  the  Closing  Date):

     Late  Payment  For  Each
     No.  of  Days  Late               $10,000  of  Common  Stock

          1                         $100
          2                         $200
          3                         $300
          4                         $400
          5                         $500
          6                         $600
          7                         $700
          8                         $800
          9                         $900
          10                      $1,000
          Over  10                $1,000  +  $200  for  each
                              Business  Day  late  beyond  10  days

The  Company  shall  pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.  Nothing herein shall limit the Investor's right to
pursue  actual  damages  for  the  Company's  failure  to  issue and deliver the
Securities  to  the Investor, except to the extent that such late payments shall
constitute  payment  for  and  offset  any  such  actual  damages alleged by the
Investor,  and  any  Buy  In  Adjustment  Amount.

<PAGE>
(i)  Overall  Limit on Common Stock Issuable. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein  to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on
an  exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
without  shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company
and  purchasable by the Investor,  shall not exceed that number of the shares of
Common  Stock  that  may  be  issuable  without shareholder approval, subject to
appropriate  adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other
similar  recapitalization  affecting the Common Stock (the "Maximum Common Stock
Issuance"), unless the issuance of Shares, in excess of the Maximum Common Stock
Issuance  shall  first  be  approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance
with  applicable  law  and  the  By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation  of  the Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could
cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that
the  Company's  failure  to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no
way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale
of  Securities  or  the  Investor's  obligation in accordance with the terms and
conditions  hereof  to  purchase  a  number of Shares in the aggregate up to the
Maximum  Common  Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only
to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in
this  Section  2(i).

     (j)  For  the  purpose  of this Agreement, the term "Valuation Event" means
the  Company  taking  any  of the following actions at any time during a Pricing
Period:

     (i)  the  subdivision  or  combinations  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock;

     (ii)  the payment of a dividend or any other distribution with respect to
shares of  the  Company's  Common  Stock;

     (iii)  the  issuance  of  any  options  or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase  Common  Stock  ("Options")  or  any  securities  convertible  into  or
exchangeable  for  Common  Stock ("Convertible Securities"), the price per share
for which Common Stock is shall be less than the bid price in effect immediately
prior  to  such  issuance  of  such  Options  or  Convertible  Securities;

     (iv)  the  issuance of shares of Common Stock other than as provided in the
foregoing subsections (i) through (iii), at a price per share less, or for other
consideration  lower,  than  the  bid  price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance,  or  without  consideration;  or

     (v)   the  distribution  of  its assets or evidences of indebtedness to the
holders  of  Common  Stock  as  a dividend in liquidation or by way of return of
capital  or  other than as a dividend payable out of earnings or surplus legally
available for dividends under applicable law or any distribution to such holders
made  in respect of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
(other  than  under  the circumstances provided for in the foregoing subsections
(i)  through  (iv)).

in  a  Valuation  Event  occurring  during  a  Pricing  Period.

counsel  reasonably  believes that the Registration Statement contains an untrue
statement  or  a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in
the  Registration  Statement  or  necessary  to  make  the  statements contained
therein,  in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
(i)  the  Company  shall  file  with  the  SEC  an amendment to the Registration
Statement  responsive  to  such alleged untrue statement or omission and provide
the  Investor,  as  promptly  as  practicable,  with  copies of the Registration
Statement and related Prospectus, as so amended, or (ii) if the Company disputes
the  existence  of  any such material misstatement or omission, and in the event
the  dispute  relates  to  the adequacy of financial disclosure and the Investor
shall  reasonably  request,  the Company's independent auditors shall provide to
the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon Procedures Report") outlining the performance
of  such "agreed upon procedures," which shall not require any more than the SAS
71  review  described above as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor and
the  Company  shall  provide  the  Investor  with  a  copy  of  such  letter.

     (m)  Delisting;  Suspension.  If  at  any  time  during  the Open Period or

occurred  a  Major  Transaction  (as  defined  in  Section  2(g))  or the public

for a period of more than five Trading Days as a result of the Company's failure
to  timely  file  its  financial statements or for any other reason, the Company
shall repurchase, within 30 calendar days of the occurrence of one of the events
listed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above (each a "Repurchase Event") and
subject  to  the limitations imposed by applicable federal and state law, all or
any  part  of  the  Securities issued to the Investor within the 60 Trading Days
preceding  the  occurrence of the Repurchase Event and then held by the Investor
at  a  price  per Share equal to the highest closing bid price during the period
beginning  on  the  date of the Repurchase Event and ending on and including the
date  on  which  the  Investor  is paid by the Company for the repurchase of the
Shares  (the  "Payment Amount"). If the Company fails to pay to the Investor the
full  aggregate  Payment  Amount within ten calendar days of the occurrence of a
Repurchase  Event,  the  Company shall pay to the Investor, on the first Trading
Day  following  such  tenth  calendar day, in addition to and not in lieu of the
Payment  Amount payable by the Company to the Investor, an amount equal to 2% of
the  aggregate  Payment  Amount then due and payable to the Investor, in cash by
wire  transfer,  plus  compounded  annual  interest  of  18%  on  such  Payment
Amount  during  the  period,  beginning on the day following such tenth calendar
day,  during  which such Payment Amount, or any portion thereof, is outstanding.

     (n)  Governmental or Criminal Actions.  During the Open Period, the Company

     (e)  No  Conflicts.  The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of  the

acceleration  or  cancellation  of,  any material agreement, contract, indenture
mortgage,  indebtedness  or  instrument  to  which  the  Company  or  any of its
Subsidiaries  is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order,  judgment or decree (including United States federal and state securities
laws  and  regulations  and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market or
principal  securities  exchange  or  trading market on which the Common Stock is
traded  or  listed)  applicable  to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by
which  any  property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound
or  affected.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4(e), neither the Company nor its
Subsidiaries  is  in  violation  of  any  term  of,  or  in  default  under, the
Certificate  of  Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights  of  any  outstanding  series  of  preferred  stock of the Company or the
By-laws  or  their  organizational  charter  or  by-laws,  respectively,  or any
contract,  agreement,  mortgage,  indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment,
decree  or order or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or
its  Subsidiaries,  except  for  possible  conflicts,  defaults,  terminations,
amendments,  accelerations,  cancellations  and  violations  that  would  not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of
the  Company  and  its  Subsidiaries  is  not  being conducted, and shall not be
conducted,  in  violation  of  any  law,  statute,  ordinance,  rule,  order  or
regulation  of  any  governmental  authority  or  agency,  regulatory  or
self-regulatory  agency,  or court, except for possible violations the sanctions
for  which  either  individually  or  in the aggregate would not have a Material
Adverse  Effect.  Except  as  specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as
required  under  the  1933  Act  and  applicable  states'  securities  laws  and
regulations,  the  Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization,
permit  or  order of, or make any filing or registration (except the filing of a
registration  statement)  with,  any  court,  governmental  authority or agency,
regulatory  or  self-regulatory  agency  or other third party in order for it to
execute,  deliver  or  perform any of its obligations under, or contemplated by,
the  Transaction  Documents  in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All
consents,  authorizations,  permits, orders, filings and registrations which the
Company  is  required  to  obtain  pursuant  to the preceding sentence have been
obtained  or  effected  on or prior to the date hereof and are in full force and
effect  as of the date hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4(e), the Company
and  its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give
rise  to any of the foregoing. The Company is not, and will not be, in violation

requirements  of  the  1934  Act  (all  of the foregoing filed prior to the date
hereof  and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules
thereto  and  documents  incorporated  by  reference  therein  being hereinafter
referred  to  as the "SEC Documents"). The Company has delivered to the Investor
or  its  representatives,  or  they  have  had access through EDGAR to, true and

Act  and  the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable
to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
with  the  SEC,  contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state  a  material  fact  required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements  therein,  in  light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. As of their respective filing dates, the financial statements of
the  Company  included  in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects  with  applicable  accounting  requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,
consistently  applied,  during  the  periods  involved  (except  (i)  as  may be
otherwise  indicated  in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii)
in  the  case  of  unaudited  interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes  or  may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all
material  respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and  the  results  of  its  operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject,  in  the  case  of  unaudited  statements,  to  normal  year-end audit
adjustments).  No  other  written  information  provided  by or on behalf of the
Company  to  the Investor which is not included in the SEC Documents, including,
without  limitation,  information referred to in Section 4(d) of this Agreement,
contains  any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact  necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance
under  which  they are or were made, not misleading. Neither the Company nor any
of  its  Subsidiaries  or  any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
have  provided  the  Investor with any material, nonpublic information which was
not  publicly  disclosed  prior  to  the date hereof and any material, nonpublic
information  provided  to the Investor by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any

intend  to  initiate  involuntary  bankruptcy  proceedings.

     (h)  Absence  of  Litigation.  Except  as  set  forth in the SEC Documents,
there  is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any
court,  public  board,  government  agency, self-regulatory organization or body
pending  or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries,  threatened  against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or
any  of  the  Company's  Subsidiaries  or  any of the Company's or the Company's
Subsidiaries'  officers  or  directors  in their capacities as such, in which an
adverse  decision  could  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     (i)  Acknowledgment  Regarding  Investor's Purchase of Shares.  The Company
acknowledges  and  agrees  that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of
arm's  length  purchaser  with  respect  to  the  Transaction  Documents and the
transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges
that  the  Investor  is  not  acting  as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the
Company  (or  in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents
and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the
Investor  or  any of its respective representatives or agents in connection with
the  Transaction  Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
is  merely  incidental to the Investor's purchase of the Securities. The Company
further represents to the Investor that the Company's decision to enter into the
Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the
Company  and  its  representatives.

     (j)  No  Undisclosed  Events,  Liabilities,  Developments or Circumstances.

Company's knowledge is contemplated to occur, with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries  or  their  respective  business,  properties,  assets,  prospects,
operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the
Company  under applicable securities laws on a registration statement filed with
the  SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and
which  has  not  been  publicly  announced.

     (k) Employee Relations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
involved  in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened. Neither the Company nor any
of  its  Subsidiaries  is  a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the
Company  and  its  Subsidiaries  believe that relations with their employees are
good.  No  executive  officer  (as  defined  in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) has
notified  the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company's employ or
otherwise  terminate  such  officer's  employment  with  the  Company.

     (l)  Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own or
possess  adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service
marks,  service  mark  registrations,  service  names,  patents,  patent rights,
copyrights,  inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade
secrets  and  rights  necessary  to  conduct  their respective businesses as now
conducted.  Except  as  set  forth  the  SEC  Documents,  none  of the Company's
trademarks,  trade  names,  service  marks,  service mark registrations, service
names,  patents,  patent  rights,  copyrights,  inventions, licenses, approvals,
government  authorizations,  trade secrets or other intellectual property rights
necessary  to  conduct  its  business as now or as proposed to be conducted have
expired  or  terminated, or are expected to expire or terminate within two years
from  the  date  of this Agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have
any  knowledge  of  any  infringement  by  the  Company  or  its Subsidiaries of
trademark,  trade  name  rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret
or  other  similar  rights  of  others, or of any such development of similar or
identical  trade  secrets  or technical information by others and, except as set
forth  on  the SEC Documents, there is no claim, action or proceeding being made
or brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, being threatened against, the
Company  or  its  Subsidiaries  regarding trademark, trade name, patents, patent
rights,  invention,  copyright,  license,  service names, service marks, service
mark  registrations, trade secret or other infringement; and the Company and its
Subsidiaries  are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to
any  of  the foregoing. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially
reasonable  security  measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of  all  of  their  intellectual  properties.

     (m)  Environmental  Laws.  The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are, to the
knowledge  of  management  of  the  Company,  in  compliance  with  any  and all
applicable  foreign,  federal,  state and local laws and regulations relating to
the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic
substances  or  wastes,  pollutants or contaminants ("Environmental Laws"); (ii)
have,  to  the  knowledge  of  management  of the Company, received all permits,
licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws
to  conduct  their  respective  businesses;  and (iii) are in compliance, to the
knowledge  of  the  Company,  with  all terms and conditions of any such permit,
license  or approval where, in each of the three foregoing cases, the failure to
so  comply  would  have,  individually  or  in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (n)  Title.  The  Company  and  its  Subsidiaries  have good and marketable
title  in  fee  simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all
personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects  except  such  as  are  described in the SEC Documents or such as do not
materially  affect  the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made  and  proposed  to  be  made  of such property by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.  Any  real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  are  held  by  them  under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with  the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company  and  its  Subsidiaries.

     (o)  Insurance.  The  Company  and  each of its Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers  of  recognized  financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and  in  such  amounts  as  management  of the Company reasonably believes to be
prudent  and  customary  in  the  businesses  in  which  the  Company  and  its
Subsidiaries  are  engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been
refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor
any  such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its  existing  insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar  coverage  from  similar  insurers  as  may be necessary to continue its
business  at  a  cost  that  would  not  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     (p)  Regulatory  Permits.  The  Company  and  its Subsidiaries have in full
force  and  effect  all certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits from
the  appropriate  federal,  state,  local  or foreign regulatory authorities and
comparable foreign regulatory agencies, necessary to own, lease or operate their
respective  properties  and  assets and conduct their respective businesses, and
neither  the  Company  nor  any  such  Subsidiary  has  received  any  notice of
proceedings  relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
approval,  authorization  or  permit,  except  for such certificates, approvals,
authorizations  or  permits  which  if  not  obtained,  or  such  revocations or
modifications  which,  would  not  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     (q)  Internal  Accounting  Controls.  The  Company  and  each  of  its
Subsidiaries  maintain  a  system  of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide  reasonable  assurance  that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with  management's  general  or  specific  authorizations; (ii) transactions are
recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
conformity  with  generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset
accountability;  (iii)  access  to  assets  is permitted only in accordance with
management's  general  or  specific  authorization;  and  (iv)  the  recorded
accountability  for  assets  is  compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals  and  appropriate  action  is  taken  with respect to any differences.

     (r)  No  Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc.  Neither the Company nor any of
its  Subsidiaries  is  subject  to  any  charter,  corporate  or  other  legal
restriction,  or  any  judgment,  decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
judgment  of  the  Company's officers has or is expected in the future to have a
Material  Adverse  Effect.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party  to  any  contract  or  agreement  which  in the judgment of the Company's
officers  has  or  is  expected  to  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     (s)  Tax  Status.  The  Company  and  each  of its Subsidiaries has made or
filed  all  United  States  federal  and state income and all other tax returns,
reports  and  declarations  required  by any jurisdiction to which it is subject
(unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has
set  aside  on  its  books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all
unpaid  and  unreported  taxes)  and  has  paid all taxes and other governmental
assessments  and  charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be
due  on  such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in
good  faith and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the
payment  of  all  taxes  for  periods  subsequent  to  the periods to which such
returns,  reports  or  declarations  apply.  There  are  no  unpaid taxes in any
material  amount  claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction,
and  the  officers  of  the  Company  know  of  no  basis  for  any  such claim.

     (t)  Certain  Transactions.  Except as set forth in the SEC Documents filed
at  least  ten  days  prior  to  the  date  hereof  and  except for arm's length
transactions pursuant to which the Company makes payments in the ordinary course
of  business  upon  terms  no  less favorable than the Company could obtain from
third  parties  and  other  than the grant of stock options disclosed in the SEC
Documents,  none  of  the  officers,  directors,  or employees of the Company is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(other  than  for  services as employees, officers and directors), including any
contract,  agreement  or  other  arrangement  providing  for  the  furnishing of
services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from,
or  otherwise  requiring  payments  to  or  from  any  officer, director or such
employee  or,  to  the  knowledge  of the Company, any corporation, partnership,
trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a
substantial  interest  or  is  an  officer,  director,  trustee  or  partner.

     (u)  Dilutive  Effect.  The  Company  understands and acknowledges that the
number  of  Shares  issuable  upon  purchases  pursuant  to  this Agreement will
increase in certain circumstances including, but not necessarily limited to, the
circumstance  wherein  the trading price of the Common Stock declines during the
period between the Effective Date and the end of the Open Period.  The Company's
executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of
the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that they have a
potential dilutive effect.  The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded,
in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests
of  the  Company.  The  Company  specifically acknowledges that, subject to such
limitations  as  are  expressly  set  forth  in  the  Transaction Documents, its
obligation  to  issue  Shares  of  Common  Stock upon purchases pursuant to this
Agreement  is  absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that
such  issuance  may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the
Company.


     (v)  Lock-up.  The  Company  shall cause its officers, insiders, directors,
affiliates  or other related parties to refrain from selling Common Stock during
each  Pricing  Period.

     (w)  No  General  Solicitation.  Neither  the  Company,  nor  any  of  its
affiliates,  nor  any  person  acting  on its behalf, has engaged in any form of
general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D)
in  connection  with  the  offer  or  sale  of  the Common Stock offered hereby.

     (x)  No  brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be
payable  by  the  Company  with  respect to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement  other  than  described  in  Section  12  (m)  of  this  Agreement.

Section  5.  COVENANTS  OF  THE  COMPANY

     (a)  Best  Efforts.  The  Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts

action,  proceeding  or investigation brought by any shareholder of the Company,
in  connection  with  or  as  a  result  of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated  by  the  Transaction Documents, or if Investor is impleaded in any
such  action,  proceeding or investigation by any person (other than as a result
of  a  breach of the Investor's representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement);  or  (ii)  Investor  becomes involved in any capacity in any action,
proceeding  or investigation brought by the SEC against or involving the Company
or  in  connection  with  or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (other than as a result of a breach of

person,  then  in  any  such  case,  the Company will reimburse Investor for its
reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and
preparation) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. In
addition,  other  than  with  respect to any matter in which Investor is a named
party, the Company will pay to Investor the charges, as reasonably determined by
Investor,  for  the  time  of  any  officers or employees of Investor devoted to
appearing  and  preparing  to  appear as witnesses, assisting in preparation for
hearings,  trials  or  pretrial matters, or otherwise with respect to inquiries,
hearing,  trials,  and  other proceedings relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this section shall

persons  (if  any),  as the case may be, of Investor and any such affiliate, and

an  act  of  the  Investor.

or  otherwise,  the  Company's  Common Stock (the "Covering Shares") in order to
make  delivery  in  satisfaction  of a sale of Common Stock by the Investor (the
"Sold  Shares"),  which  delivery  such  Investor  anticipated to make using the
Shares represented by the Put Notice  (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay to the
Investor  the  Buy-In  Adjustment  Amount  (as  defined  below).  The  "Buy-In
Adjustment  Amount"  is  the  amount  equal  to  the  excess, if any, of (a) the

total  purchase  price  (including  brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to the Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the

Investor  will  be  $1,000.

provision  hereof  be  enforced  by,  any  other  person.

     (j)  Survival.  The  representations  and warranties of the Company and the
Investor  contained  in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth

     (k)  Publicity.  The  Company and Investor shall consult with each other in
issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  and no party shall issue any such press
release  or  otherwise  make any such public statement without the prior written
consent  of  the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld

the  prior  written  consent  of such Investor, except to the extent required by
law.  Investor  acknowledges  that  this  Agreement  and  all  or  part  of  the
Transaction  Documents  may be deemed to be "material contracts" as that term is
defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-B, and that the Company may therefore
be  required  to  file  such  documents  as  exhibits to reports or registration
statements  filed  under  the  1933 Act or the 1934 Act. Investor further agrees
that  the  status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be

accomplish  the  purposes  of  this  Agreement  and  the  consummation  of  the
transactions  contemplated  hereby.

     (m)  Placement  Agent.  The  Company  agrees  to  pay  Charleston  Capital
Corporation,  ("CCC") a registered broker dealer, $10,000.  The $10,000 shall be
payable  from  1%  (one  percent) of the Put Amount on each draw toward the fee.
CCC  will also act as an unaffiliated broker dealer.  The Investor shall have no
obligation  with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on
behalf  of  other  persons  or  entities for fees of a type contemplated in this
Section  that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction  Documents.  The  Company  shall  indemnify  and  hold  harmless the
Investor,  their employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their
respective  affiliates,  from  and  against  all  claims, losses, damages, costs
(including  the  costs of preparation and attorney's fees) and expenses incurred
in  respect  of any such claimed or existing fees, as such fees and expenses are
incurred.

     (n)  No  Strict  Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed  to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,
and  no  rules  of  strict  construction  will  be  applied  against  any party.

     (o)  Remedies.  The  Investor  and each holder of the Shares shall have all
rights  and  remedies  set  forth  in this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement  and  all  rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at
any  time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such
holders  have under any law. Any person having any rights under any provision of
this  Agreement  shall  be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without
posting  a  bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any default
or  breach  of  any  provision  of  this  Agreement,  including  the recovery of
reasonable attorneys fees and costs, and to exercise all other rights granted by
law.

     (p)  Payment  Set  Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments  to  the Investor hereunder or the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Investor  enforces  or  exercises  its  rights hereunder or thereunder, and such
payment  or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set  aside,  recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid
or  otherwise  restored  to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person
under  any  law  (including,  without  limitation,  any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such  restoration  the  obligation  or  part  thereof  originally intended to be
satisfied  shall  be  revived  and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment  had  not  been  made  or  such  enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     (q)  Pricing  of  Common  Stock.  For  purposes  of this Agreement, the bid
price  of  the  Common  Stock  in  this  Agreement  shall  be  as  reported  on
