voting or transfer of or obligation  (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or
any Subsidiary to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire or redeem any of its
outstanding  shares of capital stock. No dividends are accrued but unpaid on any
capital stock of the Company.

rights affecting the issuance or sale of the Company's capital stock.  Except as

for brokerage  commissions,  finder's fees or similar compensation in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or
agreement made by the Company or any Subsidiary.

         2.8 Disclosure.  This Agreement and the exhibits and schedules  hereto,
when taken as a whole with other  documents  and  certificates  furnished by the
Company and any Subsidiary to the Investors or their counsel, do not contain any
untrue  statement of material fact or omit any material fact  necessary in order
to make  the  statements  therein  not  misleading;  provided,  however  certain

faith and believed were  reasonable at the time such  materials  were  prepared.
There  is no fact  known  to the  Company,  any  Subsidiary  that  has not  been
disclosed to the Investors  prior to the date of this Agreement that  materially
and adversely affects the business, assets,  properties,  prospects or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company or its  Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole,
or the ability of the Company or any  Subsidiary to perform under this Agreement
or the other  agreements  contemplated  hereby or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

                        REPRESENTATIONS OF THE INVESTORS
                        --------------------------------

         As part of the basis of this Agreement,  the Investor hereby represents
to the Company, at the Closing Date, that:

         3.1  Authorization.  The execution of this  Agreement and the documents
executed by the Investor  pursuant to this Agreement have been authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Investor,  have been executed and delivered,
and constitute valid, legal, binding and enforceable agreements of the Investor,
except  as  may  be   limited   by  (a)   applicable   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization  or other  similar  laws of general  application  relating  to or
affecting the enforcement of creditor  rights,  (b) laws and judicial  decisions
regarding  indemnification  for violations of federal  securities  laws, (c) the
availability of specific  performance or other equitable remedies,  and (d) with

principles of public policy.

         3.2  Restrictions on  Transferability.  The Investor  understands  that
because the Series B Preferred  have not been,  and the  Conversion  Shares when
issued  will not have  been,  registered  under the  Securities  Act,  it cannot
dispose of any or all of the Series B Preferred or Conversion Shares unless they
are  subsequently  registered  under  the  Securities  Act  or  exemptions  from
registration are available.  The Investor  understands that no public market now
exists for any of the  Securities  issued by the Company,  except for the Common
Stock of the Company,  and that there is no assurance  that a public market will
ever exist for the Series B Preferred. The Investor acknowledges and understands
that, except as provided in the Amended Registration Rights Agreement, it has no
registration  rights.  Although it may be possible in the future to make limited
public  sales  of the  Series  B  Preferred  and/or  Conversion  Shares  without
registration  under the Securities  Act, Rule 144 is not now available and there
is no assurance  that it will become  available  for any  purpose.  By reason of
these restrictions, the Investor understands that it may be required to hold the
Series B Preferred  and/or the  Conversion  Shares for an  indefinite  period of
time.  The  Investor  agrees  that  in no  event  will  it  make a  transfer  or
disposition of any of the Series B Preferred (or the  Conversion  Shares) unless
and until,  if  requested  by the  Company,  at the  expense of the  Investor or
transferee,  it shall  have  furnished  to the  Company an opinion of counsel or
other evidence,  reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer maybe made without  registration under the Securities Act. The Investor
understands  that each  certificate  representing  the  Series B  Preferred  and
Conversion  Shares will bear  appropriate  state "blue sky" legends and a legend
substantially as follows:

                  THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS  CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
                  BEEN REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
                  AMENDED.  THESE  SHARES  MAY NOT BE SOLD,  MORTGAGED,
                  PLEDGED,   HYPOTHECATED   OR  OTHERWISE   TRANSFERRED
                  WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH
                  SHARES UNDER THE  SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
                  OR UNLESS  SUCH SALE OR  TRANSFER  IS EXEMPT FROM THE
                  REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY  REQUIREMENTS OF
                  SUCH ACT.

         3.3 Status of Investor.  The Investor is knowledgeable  and experienced
in making  venture  capital  investments,  and able to bear the economic risk of
loss of its investment in the Company. The Investor is an "accredited investor,"
as that term is defined  in Rule 501 (a) of  Regulation  D under the  Securities
Act.

         3.4 Brokerage. There are no claims for brokerage commissions,  finder's
fees or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made by the Investor.

         3.5 Own Account. The Investor is acting on its own behalf in connection
with the  investigation  and  examination  of the  Company  and its  decision to
execute these  documents.  Investor has received (i) the Company's annual report
filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1999,  (ii) the
Company's  quarterly  reports  filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q for the  quarters
ended March 31 and June 30, 2000, and (iii) such other information regarding the
Company as has been requested by the Investor or its representatives.

         3.6 Governmental  Authorizations,  Third Party Consents. Based upon the
information  provided to the  Investor by the  Company,  no  approval,  consent,
exemption,  authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any
governmental authority or any other individual, corporation, partnership, trust,
incorporated or unincorporated association,  joint venture, joint stock company,
government  (or an agency or political  subdivision  thereof) or other entity of
any kind is  necessary  or  required  by the  Investor  in  connection  with the
execution,  delivery and performance by the Investor of this  Agreement,  or any
other documents executed pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Investor makes no  representations  with respect to applicable  federal or state
securities  laws;  and  provided,  further,  however,  that any liability of the
Investor resulting from a breach of this representation  shall be limited to the
aggregate  purchase  price  paid by the  Investor  for the  Series  B  Preferred
purchased hereunder.

         3.7 Effect of  Transactions.  The  Investor's  execution,  delivery and
performance  of this  Agreement and the other  agreements  contemplated  by this
Agreement will not violate any terms of its organizational  documents or, to its
knowledge,  violate any judgment,  decree or order, or any material  contract or
obligation  of the Investor or any statute,  rule or  regulation of any federal,
state or local government or agency applicable to the Investor.

         3.8 Consent of Investor. Investor hereby consents as required under the
Stock Purchase  Agreement dated May 17, 2000 between the Company and Investor to
the  amendment  of  the  Company's  Articles  of  Incorporation  increasing  the
authorized  shares of common stock of the Company from  35,000,000  shares to at
least  50,000,000  shares  and the  issuance  by the  Company  of the  Series  B
Preferred Stock.

                                   SECTION 4.
                            COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

         4.8 Increase  Authorized  Shares of Common Stock.  The Company shall as
soon as  practicable  after the Closing  Date seek  shareholder  approval for an
amendment of the Company's  Articles of Incorporation  increasing the authorized
shares of common stock of the Company from 35,000,000 million shares to at least
50,000,000 shares. Upon such shareholder approval,  the Company shall thereafter
at all times  reserve and keep  available  out of its  authorized  but  unissued
shares of Common  Stock,  for the purpose of  effecting  the  conversion  of the
Series B Preferred and  otherwise  complying  with the terms of this  Agreement,
such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient
to effect the conversion of the Series B Preferred from time to time outstanding
or  otherwise  to comply  with the terms of this  Agreement.  If at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient
to effect the  conversion  of the Series B Preferred or otherwise to comply with
the terms of this  Agreement,  the Company will  forthwith  take such  corporate
action as may be  necessary to increase its  authorized  but unissued  shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient  for such purposes.
The Company will obtain any authorization,  consent, approval or other action by
or make any filing  with any court or  administrative  body that may be required
under applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred.

         4.9 Bylaws.  The Company shall at all times cause its Bylaws to provide
that the number of directors  fixed in  accordance  therewith  shall in no event
conflict with any of the terms or  provisions of this  Agreement or the Articles
of  Incorporation.  The Company  shall at all times  maintain  provisions in its
Bylaws and/or  Articles of  Incorporation  indemnifying  all  directors  against
liability  and absolving  all  directors  from  liability to the Company and its
shareholders  to the  maximum  extent  permitted  under the laws of the State of
Nevada.

         4.10 Compliance. The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to
comply, with all applicable laws, rules,  regulations and orders,  noncompliance
with which could  materially  and  adversely  affect the business or  condition,
financial or otherwise of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

         4.11 Rule 144A  Information.  The Company  shall,  at all times  during

in writing,  upon the written request of the Investor or a prospective  buyer of
the Series B Preferred or Conversion  Shares from the Investor,  all information
required by Rule  144A(d)(4)(i)  of the General  Regulations  promulgated by the
Commission  under the  Securities Act ("Rule 144A  Information").  The Company's
obligations  under this Section 4.11 shall at all times be  contingent  upon the
Investor  obtaining  from  the  prospective  buyer  of  Series  B  Preferred  or
Conversion  Shares a written  agreement to take all  reasonable  precautions  to
safeguard  the Rule 144A  Information  from  disclosure  to anyone  other than a
person who will assist  such buyer in  evaluating  the  purchase of any Series B
Preferred or Conversion Shares.

         4.12  Brokerage.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Investors for any brokerage  commissions,  finder's fees or similar compensation
in connection with the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement based on any
arrangement or agreement made by the Company or any Subsidiary.
