III.     THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS

         The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that:

         A. ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a corporation duly
organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is incorporated and has the requisite corporate power to own its
properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing
in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a
Material Adverse Effect (as such term is hereinafter defined). As used in this
Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect
on the operations, properties or financial condition of the Company taken as a
whole. The Common Stock is eligible to trade and is listed for trading on the
OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. ("OTCBB"). The Company has received no notice, either written or oral, with
respect to the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for such listing, and
the Company has maintained all requirements for the continuation of such
listing, and the Company does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock
will be delisted from the OTCBB for the foreseeable future. The Company has
complied or will timely comply with all requirements of the National Association
of Securities Dealers and the OTCBB with respect to the issuance of the March
Warrant, August Warrant, shares of Common Stock underlying the March Warrant and
August Warrant (collectively, the "Other Securities"), Supplemental Securities
and Securities.

         B. AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. (i) The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and to
issue and sell the Debenture, Supplemental


                                       2

execution, delivery and performance of the Company's obligations under this
Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the March Warrant, the
August Warrant, the Debenture, the Supplemental Debenture, the Supplemental
Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or
authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is
required, (iii) this Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the
March Warrant, the August Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Debenture have been, and on the Supplemental Closing Date (as such term is
hereinafter defined), the Supplemental Debenture and the Supplemental Warrant
will have been, duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and (iv) this Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the March Warrant, the August Warrant, the shares
of Common Stock underlying the March Warrant (when issued), the shares of Common
Stock underlying the August Warrant (when issued), the Debenture, the Conversion
Shares (when issued), the Interest Shares (when issued) and the Supplemental
Securities (when issued) constitute the valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting, generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application. The Company (and its legal
counsel) has examined this Agreement and is satisfied in its sole discretion
that this Agreement is in accordance with Regulation D under the Securities Act
and is effective to accomplish the purposes set forth herein and therein.

         C. CAPITALIZATION. The current capitalization of the Company is as
reflected in the Company's most recent periodic report filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the Company
has no other authorized class of capital stock not reflected therein. All of the
Company's outstanding shares of capital stock have been validly issued and are
fully paid and nonassessable. None of the shares of the Company's capital stock
is subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or
encumbrances. Except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, as of the Closing Date
and the Supplemental Closing Date, (i) there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or arrangements by
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
(ii) there are no outstanding debt securities of the Company (except as provided
for herein) and (iii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of
its or their securities under the Securities Act (except as provided herein and
in the Registration Rights Agreement).

         D. ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The Debenture, March Warrant, August
Warrant, Supplemental Debenture, Supplemental Warrant and the shares of Common
Stock underlying such securities are all duly authorized and, if unissued,
reserved for issuance, and if issued, are, and if unissued, upon issuance shall
be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and, if issued, are not, and, if
unissued, will not be, subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of
stockholders of the Company.

         E. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING BUYER'S PURCHASE. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that Buyer is not acting as financial advisor to or fiduciary of the
Company (or in any similar capacity with respect to this Agreement, the March
Agreement or the August Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby), that this Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and the relationship between Buyer and the Company, are and will be
considered "arms-length" notwithstanding any other or prior agreements or nexus
between Buyer and the Company, whether or not disclosed, and that any statement
made by Buyer, or any of its representatives or agents, in connection with this
Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is not advice or
a recommendation, is merely incidental to Buyer's purchase of the Securities,
Other Securities and Supplemental Securities and has not been relied upon in any
way by the Company, its officers or directors. The Company further represents to
Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement, the March
Agreement,


                                       3
<PAGE>   4


the August Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been based solely upon an independent
evaluation by the Company, its officers and directors.

         F. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances which would prevent the parties hereto from
consummating the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and specifically in accordance with the
provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The transactions
contemplated hereby are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

         G. NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (i) has not resulted and will not result in a
violation of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, in each case as
amended to the Supplemental Closing Date, (ii) has not conflicted or will not
conflict with, or has not constituted or will not constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is a party or (iii) has not resulted or will not result
in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws and regulations) 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 for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation
of its organizational documents, and neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would put the Company or any of its subsidiaries in
default) under, nor has there occurred any event giving others (with notice or
lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its subsidiaries is a party, except for possible defaults or rights as
would not, in the aggregate or individually, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall
not be conducted so long as Buyer owns any of the Company's securities, in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except
for possible violations which neither singly nor in the aggregate would have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement,
the March Agreement, the August Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
and as required under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in
order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Securities, the Other Securities or the Supplemental Securities
in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

         H. SEC DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Since at least December 31,
1998, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and
other documents to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the
Supplemental Closing Date and all exhibits included therein and financial
statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits)
incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Commission Filings"). As of their respective dates, the Commission Filings
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to
the Commission Filings, and none of the Commission Filings, at the time of
filing with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial
statements of the Company included in the Commission Filings complied as to form
in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), 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


                                       4
<PAGE>   5


may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly
presented 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 information provided by or on behalf of
the Company to Buyer contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.
Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the
Commission Filings, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise,
other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business
subsequent to the date of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under
contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not
required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such
financial statements, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) next above which,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Commission Filings contain a complete and accurate list of all written and oral
contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments to which the Company or any
subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is subject which
are required by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission to be so
listed (each a "Contract"). None of the Company, its subsidiaries or, to the
best of the Company's knowledge, any of the other parties thereto, is in breach
or violation of any Contract, which breach or violation would, or with the lapse
of time, the giving of notice, or both, have a Material Adverse Effect.

         I. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the Commission
Filings, since at least January 1, 1999, there has been no material adverse
change and no material adverse development in the business, properties,
operation, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the
Company. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently have any
reasonable expectation of taking any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any
bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge that its creditors intend
to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. The Company shall, at least
until Buyer no longer holds any of the Company's securities, maintain its
corporate existence in good standing and shall pay all taxes when due except for
taxes it reasonably disputes.

         J. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry
or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, wherein
an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect
or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, this
Agreement, the March Agreement, the August Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement or any of the documents contemplated herein or therein.

         K. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, nor any officer, director or other person acting on behalf of the
Company or any subsidiary has used any corporate funds for any unlawful
contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to
political activity, made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign
or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, violated or is
in violation of any provision of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment,
kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government
official or employee.

         L. BROKERS; NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. The Company has taken no action
that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions,
finder's fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement, the March
Agreement, the August Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, other than to Corporate Capital Management, L.L.C. The Company and
Buyer both acknowledge that no other broker or finder was involved with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby or by the March Agreement or August
Agreement, other than Corporate Capital Management, L.L.C. Neither the Company
nor any distributor participating on the Company's behalf in the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the March Agreement or August Agreement nor any person
acting for the Company, or any such distributor, has conducted any "general
solicitation," as described in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act, with respect to the Other Securities, Securities and Supplemental
Securities. The Company has agreed to compensate Corporate Capital Management,
L.L.C., with a cash payment and certain warrants in accordance with the
Company's separate agreement with Corporate Capital Management, L.L.C.


                                       5

         M. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DILUTION. The Conversion Shares, Interest Shares
and shares of Common Stock underlying the March Warrant, August Warrant,
Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant may increase substantially in
certain circumstances, including the circumstance wherein the trading price of
the Common Stock declines. The Company's executive officers and directors have
studied and fully understand the nature of the securities sold hereunder and
under the March Agreement and August Agreement and recognize they have a
potential dilutive effect. The Board of Directors of the Company has concluded
in its good faith business judgment that such issuances are in the best
interests of the Company. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue
Conversion Shares, Interest Shares and shares of Common Stock underlying the
March Warrant, August Warrant, Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant
is binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders.

         N. ELIGIBILITY TO FILE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Company is currently
eligible to file a registration statement with the Commission either on Form
SB-1 or Form SB-2 under the Securities Act.

         O. INTEREST. The timely payment of interest on the Debenture or the
Supplemental Debenture is not prohibited by the Articles of Incorporation or
By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended to the Supplemental Closing
Date, or any agreement, Contract, document or other undertaking to which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party.

         P. NO MISREPRESENTATION. Other than with respect to the due
authorization and valid issuance of the Subject Preferred Shares, no
representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, the March
Agreement, the August Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, any
schedule, annex or exhibit hereto or thereto or any agreement, instrument or
certificate furnished by the Company to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the
March Agreement, the August Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.

IV.      CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

         A. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, upon
issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Securities and Supplemental Securities
shall have endorsed thereon a legend in substantially the following form (and a

         D. LISTING. Except to the extent the Company lists its Common Stock on
The New York Stock Exchange, The American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock
Market, the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain its listing of the

will use its best efforts to list the Common Stock on the most liquid national
securities exchange or quotation system that the Common Stock is qualified to be
listed on.

         E. RESERVED SHARES. The Company at all times from and after the date
hereof shall have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, at least

interest on, the Debenture and the Supplemental Debenture, and the exercise in
full of the March Warrant, August Warrant and the Supplemental Warrant.

         F. EXEMPTION FROM INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. The Company shall conduct its
business, and shall cause its subsidiaries to conduct their businesses, in such

"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

         G. ACCOUNTING AND RESERVES. The Company shall maintain a standard and
uniform system of accounting and shall keep proper books and records and
accounts in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of its
transactions, all in accordance with GAAP applied on consistent basis through
all periods, and shall set aside on such books for each fiscal year all such
reserves for depreciation, obsolescence, amortization, bad debts and other
purposes in connection with its operations as are required by such principles so
applied.

         H. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or
agreement with any stockholder, officer, director or affiliate of the Company or
family member of any officer, director or affiliate of the Company, unless the
transaction or agreement is (i) reviewed and approved by a majority of
Disinterested Directors (as such term is hereinafter defined) and (ii) on terms
no less favorable to the Company or the applicable subsidiary than those
obtainable from a non-affiliated person. A "Disinterested Director" shall mean a
director of the Company who is not and has not been an officer or employee of
the Company and who is not a member of the family of, controlled by or under
common control with, any such officer or employee.

         I. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS. So long as the Debenture or the Supplemental
Debenture is outstanding, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart
for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any
capital stock of the Company, nor shall any capital stock of the Company be
redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or
other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee
incentive or benefit plan (including a stock option plan) of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company), for any consideration by the Company, directly or
indirectly, nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund
for the redemption of any shares of any such stock.

         J. NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.

                   1. The Company shall in no event disclose non-public
information to Buyer or advisors to or representatives of Buyer unless prior to
such disclosure of information the Company marks such information as "non-public
information-confidential" and provides Buyer and such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require Buyer and its advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and Buyer.

                   2. Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to Buyer and its advisors or representatives, and the
Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to
investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money
managers or to securities analysts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided,
immediately notify the advisors and representatives of Buyer and, if any,
underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without any
obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes
aware, constituting non-public information (whether or not


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


requested of the Company specifically or generally during the course of due
diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the
prospectus included in the registration statement to be filed pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than Buyer (without the written consent of Buyer prior
to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public information in the
course of conducting due diligence and nothing herein shall prevent any such
persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that, based upon
such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the aforesaid registration
statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material
fact required to be stated in such registration statement or necessary to make
the statement contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading.

V.       TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS

         A. The Company undertakes and agrees that no instruction other than the
instructions referred to in this Article V and customary stop transfer
instructions prior to the registration and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to
an effective Securities Act registration statement shall be given to its
transfer agent for the Common Stock and that the shares of Common Stock
underlying the March Warrant, August Warrant, Debenture, Supplemental Debenture
and Supplemental Warrant shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and applicable law. Nothing contained in this
Section V.A. shall affect in any way Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply
with all applicable securities laws upon resale of such Common Stock. If, at any
time, Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that registration of the resale by Buyer of such
Common Stock is not required under the Securities Act and that the removal of
restrictive legends is permitted under applicable law, the Company shall permit
the transfer of such Common Stock and promptly instruct the Company's transfer
agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without any restrictive
legends endorsed thereon.

         B. Buyer shall have the right to convert the Debenture and Supplemental
Debenture by telecopying an executed and completed conversion notice
("Conversion Notice") in the form provided for in the Debenture and the
Supplemental Debenture to the Company. Each date on which a Conversion Notice is
telecopied to and received by the Company in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (as such term is defined in the
Debenture and Supplemental Debenture). The Company shall transmit the
certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Debenture or Supplemental Debenture (together with a new debenture, if any,
representing the principal amount of the Debenture or Supplemental Debenture not
being so converted) to Buyer via express courier, by electronic transfer or
otherwise, within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the
Conversion Notice (the "Delivery Date"). Within thirty (30) days after Buyer
delivers the Conversion Notice to the Company, Buyer shall deliver to the
Company the Debenture or Supplemental Debenture being converted.

         C. Buyer shall have the right to purchase shares of Common Stock
pursuant to exercise of the March Warrant, August Warrant or Supplemental
Warrant in accordance with their respective terms. The last date that the
Company may deliver shares of Common Stock issuable upon any exercise of any
such warrant is hereinafter referred to as the "Warrant Delivery Date."

         D. The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the shares
of Common Stock issuable in lieu of cash interest on the Debenture or
Supplemental Debenture, or upon the conversion of the Debenture or Supplemental
Debenture, or exercise of the March Warrant, August Warrant or Supplemental
Warrant beyond the applicable interest payment due date, Delivery Date or
Warrant Delivery Date could result in economic loss to Buyer. As compensation to
Buyer for such loss (and not as a penalty), the Company agrees to pay to Buyer
for late issuance of Common Stock issuable in lieu of cash interest on the
Debenture or Supplemental Debenture, or upon conversion of the Debenture or
Supplemental Debenture, or exercise of the March Warrant, August Warrant or
Supplemental Warrant in accordance with the following schedule (where "No.
Business Days" is defined as the number of business days beyond three (3) days
from such interest payment due date, Delivery Date or Warrant Delivery Date, as
applicable):

The Company shall pay to Buyer the compensation described above by the transfer
of immediately available funds upon Buyer's demand. Nothing herein shall limit
Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and
deliver Common Stock to Buyer. In addition to any other remedies which may be
available to Buyer, in the event the Company fails for any reason to deliver
such shares of Common Stock within three (3) business days after the relevant
interest payment due date, Delivery Date or Warrant Delivery Date, as
applicable, Buyer shall be entitled to rescind the relevant Conversion Notice or
exercise of the March Warrant, August Warrant or Supplemental Warrant by
delivering a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and
Buyer shall each be restored to their respective original positions immediately
prior to delivery of such Conversion Notice or exercise on delivery.

VI.      CLOSING DATE

The date and time (the "Closing Date") of the issuance and sale of the Debenture
(the "Closing") shall be the date hereof or such other date as shall be mutually

X.       AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

The Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended to (i) expressly include the
shares of Common Stock


                                       10
<PAGE>   11


underlying the August Warrant, Debenture, Supplemental Debenture and
Supplemental Warrant within the definition of the term "Registrable Securities"
and (ii) change the number contained in clause (x) of the proviso to the
definition of the term "Registrable Securities" from 1,250,000 to 10,000,000.
Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement to
the contrary, the (i) Company shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of
this Agreement, file with the Commission the Registration Statement (as such
term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering all of the
Registrable Securities and (ii) term "Effectiveness Date" (as such term is
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall hereinafter mean the one
hundred and twentieth (120th) day following the date of this Agreement.

XI.      SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITIES

         If the (i) Company shall have timely filed the Registration Statement

on or before the Effectiveness Date, (iii) Company is otherwise in compliance
with the covenants contained in this Agreement, the March Agreement, the August
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement on the Effectiveness Date and
(iv) representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and
correct on the Effectiveness Date, then, as of the Effectiveness Date, the
Company shall have the obligation to sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall have the
obligation to purchase from the Company, in a transaction exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, the
Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant for an aggregate purchase price
(the "Supplemental Purchase Price") equal to One Hundred Fifteen Thousand
Dollars ($115,000). On the Effectiveness Date, if true, the Company shall send a
written notice (the "Notice") to Buyer certifying that the conditions set forth
above in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Article XI have been satisfied and
specifying the date (the "Supplemental Closing Date") on which the closing for
the purchase and sale of the Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant
shall occur, which date shall in no event be earlier than the tenth (10th) day
after the delivery of the Notice to Buyer. On the Supplemental Closing Date, (i)
Buyer shall, subject to its receipt of the documents contemplated by clauses
(ii)(A) through (ii)(C) below of this Article XI, pay the Supplemental Purchase
Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company's account

(z) which otherwise contains terms and conditions identical to those contained
in the Debenture. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Supplemental
Warrant" means a warrant issued by the Company which (x) provides for the
purchase of up to Eleven Thousand Five Hundred (11,500) shares of Common Stock
at an exercise price equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the closing
bid price for the Common Stock on the date of this Agreement, (y) provides for
an expiration date occurring on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Supplemental
Closing Date and (z) otherwise contains terms and conditions identical to those
contained in the August Warrant. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Supplemental Securities" means the Supplemental Debenture, Supplemental Warrant
and shares of Common Stock underlying the Supplemental Debenture and
Supplemental Warrant.

XII.     SURVIVAL

         The representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the
Company and Buyer in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules and exhibits hereto
and in each instrument, agreement and certificate entered into and delivered by
them pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of a breach or violation
of any of such representations, warranties or covenants, the party to whom such
representations, warranties or covenants have been made shall have all rights
and remedies for such breach or violation available to it under the provisions
of this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or in equity, irrespective of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such party on or prior to the Closing
Date.

<PAGE>   22


Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the time at which the
Conversion Notice indicates, and at such time the rights of the Holder of this
Debenture, as such (except if and to the extent that any Principal Amount
thereof remains unconverted), shall cease and the Person and Persons in whose
name or names the Common Stock Issued at Conversion shall be issuable shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Common Shares
represented thereby, and all voting and other rights associated with the
beneficial ownership of such Common Shares shall at such time vest with such
Person or Persons. The Conversion Notice shall constitute a contract between the
Holder and the Company, whereby the Holder shall be deemed to subscribe for the
number of Common Shares which it will be entitled to receive upon such
conversion and, in payment and satisfaction of such subscription (and for any
cash adjustment to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.4), to surrender
this Debenture and to release the Company from all liability thereon (except if
and to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted). No
cash payment aggregating less than $1.00 shall be required to be given unless
specifically requested by the Holder.

         (b) If, at any time after the date of this Debenture, (i) the Company
challenges, disputes or denies the right of the Holder hereof to effect the
conversion of this Debenture into Common Shares or otherwise dishonors or
rejects any Conversion Notice delivered in accordance with this Section 3.2 or
(ii) any third party who is not and has never been an Affiliate of the Holder
commences any lawsuit or legal proceeding or otherwise asserts any claim before
any court or public or governmental authority which seeks to challenge, deny,
enjoin, limit, modify, delay or dispute the right of the Holder hereof to effect
the conversion of this Debenture into Common Shares, then the Holder shall have
the right, by written notice to the Company, to require the Company to promptly
redeem this Debenture for cash at one hundred and thirty-five percent (135%) of
the Principal Amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the date of redemption. Under any of the circumstances set forth
above, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and
expenses of the Holder, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, as and
when incurred in defending itself in any such action or pursuing its rights
hereunder (in addition to any other rights of the Holder).

         (c) The Holder shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege
notwithstanding the commencement of any case under the Bankruptcy Code. In the
event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby
waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have under 11
U.S.C. Section 362 in respect of the Holder's conversion privilege. The Company
hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have
under 11 U.S.C. Section 362 in respect of the conversion of this Debenture. The
Company agrees, without cost or expense to the Holder, to take or consent to any
and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. Section 362.

Section 3.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip representing
fractional Common Shares shall be delivered upon conversion of this Debenture.
Instead of any fractional Common Shares which otherwise would be delivered upon
conversion of this Debenture, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect
of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price on the Conversion Date. No cash payment of less than $1.00
shall be required to be given unless specifically requested by the Holder.

Section 3.4 Adjustments. The Conversion Price and the number of shares
deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture are subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

                           (1) Issuance of Securities. If at any time while this
Debenture, or any portion thereof, is outstanding the Company issues and sells
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (A) Common
Shares at a purchase price that is lower than the Conversion Price on the date
of issuance of such Common Shares, (B) warrants or options with an exercise
price on the date of issuance thereof that is lower than the Conversion Price
for the Holder on such date, except for warrants or options issued pursuant to
employee stock option agreements or stock incentive agreements of the Company or
(C) convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities with a


                                       20
<PAGE>   23


right to exchange at lower than the Current Market Price on the date of issuance
or conversion, as applicable, of such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities, except for stock option agreements or stock incentive agreements,
then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the lowest of any such
purchase price, exercise price or exchange price, and the number of shares of
Common Stock into which this Debenture is convertible pursuant to Section 3.1(a)
shall be correspondingly adjusted. After such reduction, the Conversion Price
shall never exceed the Conversion Price as so reduced, in spite of any
subsequent increase in the Market Price.

                           (2) Reclassification, Etc. In case the Company shall
reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with
or into another Person (where the Company is not the survivor or where there is
a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company),
sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its
property, assets or business to another Person, or effectuate a transaction or
series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of the Company is disposed of (each, a "FUNDAMENTAL CORPORATE
CHANGE") and, pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate Change, shares
of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares
of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("OTHER PROPERTY") are to
be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company,
then the Holder of this Debenture shall have the right thereafter, at its sole

Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate
Change or (z) require the Company, or such successor, resulting or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, to, without benefit of any additional
consideration therefor, execute and deliver to the Holder a debenture with
substantial identical rights, privileges, powers, restrictions and other terms
as this Debenture in an amount equal to the amount outstanding under this
Debenture immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change. For purposes
hereof, "COMMON STOCK OF THE SUCCESSOR OR ACQUIRING CORPORATION" shall include
stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or
assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not
subject to prepayment and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness,
shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable
for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date
or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to
subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions shall
similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.

                           (3) Spin-offs. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if at any time the Company shall "spin-off" certain of its
assets or businesses by transferring, directly or indirectly, such assets or
businesses to a Subsidiary ("SPINCO") and making a dividend ("SPIN-OFF
DIVIDEND") to the Company's stockholders of the shares of capital stock of
Spinco, then prior to making such Spin-off Dividend, the Company shall cause
Spinco to issue to each Holder a debenture, with substantially identical terms
as this Debenture, in an amount equal to the amount outstanding under this
Debenture immediately prior to such Spin-off Dividend.

Section 3.5 Certain Conversion Limits.

                           (1) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not have the right, and the Company shall not have the
obligation, to convert all or any portion of this Debenture (and the Company
shall not have the right to pay interest on this Debenture in shares of Common
Stock) if and to the extent that the issuance to the Holder of shares of Common
Stock upon such


<PAGE>   24


conversion (or payment of interest) would result in the Holder being deemed the
"BENEFICIAL OWNER" of more than five percent (5%) of the then Outstanding shares
of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder. If any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that the foregoing limitation is
ineffective to prevent a Holder from being deemed the beneficial owner of more
than five percent (5%) of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the
Company shall prepay this Debenture in part, in such Principal Amount as is
necessary to cause such Holder to be deemed the beneficial owner of not more
than five percent (5%) of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock. Such
prepayment shall be for cash at a prepayment price of one hundred twenty-two and
one-half percent (122.5%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

                           (2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
if and to the extent that, on any date (the "SECTION 16 DETERMINATION DATE"),
the holding by the Holder of this Debenture would result in the Holder's
becoming subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of being deemed the "BENEFICIAL OWNER" of
more than ten percent (10%) of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock, then
the Holder shall not have the right, and the Company shall not have the
obligation, to convert any portion of this Debenture (the "SECTION 16 PREPAYMENT
PORTION") as shall cause such Holder to be deemed the beneficial owner of more
than ten percent (10%) of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock during the
period ending sixty (60) days after the Section 16 Determination Date. If any
court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the foregoing limitation is
ineffective to prevent a Holder from being deemed the beneficial owner of more
than ten percent (10%) of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock for the
purposes of such Section 16(b), then the Company shall prepay the Section 16
Prepayment Portion. Upon such determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the Holder shall have no interest in or rights under such Section
16 Prepayment Portion. Any and all interest paid on or prior to the date of such
determination shall be deemed interest paid on the remaining portion of this
Debenture held by the Holder. Such prepayment shall be for cash at a prepayment
price of one hundred twenty-two and one-half percent (122.5%) of the Principal
Amount thereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
date of prepayment.

                           (3) Unless the Company shall have obtained the
approval of its voting stockholders to such issuance in accordance with the
rules of any stock market with which the Company shall be required to comply,
but only to the extent required thereby, the Company shall not issue shares of
Common Stock (i) upon conversion of this Debenture or (ii) as a payment of
interest on this Debenture, if such issuance of Common Stock, when added to the
number of shares of Common Stock previously issued by the Company (x) upon
conversion of a portion of this Debenture, (y) upon exercise of the Warrants and
(z) in payment of interest on this Debenture would equal or exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the number of Common Shares which were issued and outstanding
on the Closing Date (the "MAXIMUM ISSUANCE AMOUNT"). In the event that a
properly executed Conversion Notice is received by the Company which would
require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the
Maximum Issuance Amount, the Company shall honor such conversion request by (a)
converting the portion of the Debenture stated in the Conversion Notice which is
not in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount and (b) prepaying the remaining
portion of the Debenture stated in the Conversion Notice in cash at a prepayment
price of one hundred twenty-two and one-half percent (122.5%) of the Principal
Amount of the remaining portion of this Debenture, together with all accrued and
unpaid dividends on the total portion of this Debenture stated in the Conversion
Notice to the date of prepayment. In the event the Company shall elect to pay
interest in shares of Common Stock which would require the Company to issue
shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of the Maximum Issuance Amount, the
Company shall pay such interest by (y) issuing a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to one share less than the Maximum Issuance Amount and (z) paying
the balance due on such interest payment in cash.

                           Section 3.6 Optional Redemption. Subject to Section
3.7, the Company may redeem this Debenture in whole or in part at a cash
redemption price ("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION PRICE") equal to one hundred twenty-two
and one-half percent (122.5%) of the Principal Amount of this Debenture subject
to such redemption, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
date of redemption ("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION DATE"); provided that the (y) Current
Market Price on the Trading Day the notice ("OPTIONAL REDEMPTION NOTICE")
provided for in Section 3.7 (which may not be conditional) is given is less than
the Conversion Price on the date such Trading Day and (z) Company has good and
clear funds for payment of the Optional Redemption Price covered by such notice
in a bank account controlled by the Company; provided, further, however, that in
the event such redemption is to be made simultaneously with the closing of a
public offering of securities of the Company, the Company may send an Optional
Redemption Notice even if it does not have such good and clear funds.
Notwithstanding its receipt of an Optional Redemption Notice, the Holder upon
receipt of such notice shall have the right to convert up to fifty percent (50%)
of the Principal Amount of this Debenture covered by such notice at the
Conversion Price by delivery of a Conversion Notice to the Company in accordance
with Section 3.2 at any time prior to the Optional Redemption Date to which such
Optional Redemption Notice relates.

                           Section 3.7 Notice of Redemption. Each Optional
Redemption Notice shall be provided by the Company to the Holder in writing at
the Holder's last address appearing in the Company's security registry, not less
than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Optional Redemption Date to which
such notice relates and not more than forty-five (45) Business Days prior to
such Optional Redemption Date, which notice shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit B hereto, specify the Optional Redemption Date, the Principal Amount
of this Debenture being redeemed, and refer to Section 3.6 (including a
statement of the Optional Redemption Price) and this Section 3.7.

                           Section 3.8 Surrender of Debentures. Upon any
redemption of this Debenture pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.5, 3.6 or 6.2, or upon
maturity pursuant to Section 2.4, the Holder shall either deliver this Debenture
by hand to the Company at its principal executive offices or surrender the same
to the Company at such address by nationally recognized overnight courier.
Payment of the redemption price or the amount due on maturity specified in
Section 2.4, shall be made by the Company to the Holder against receipt of this
Debenture (as provided in this Section 3.8) by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such account(s) as the Holder shall specify by written notice
to the Company. If payment of such redemption price is not made in full by the
redemption date, or the amount due on maturity is not paid in full by the
Maturity Date, the Holder shall again have the right to convert this Debenture
as provided in Article 3 hereof or to declare an Event of Default.

agrees that this Debenture and the shares of Common Stock to be acquired as

otherwise transferred unless and until (i) the Company has received the opinion
of counsel for the Holder that this Debenture or such shares may be sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or (ii) a
registration statement relating to this Debenture or such shares has been filed
by the Company and declared effective by the SEC. Each certificate for shares of
Common Stock deliverable hereunder shall bear a legend as follows

                                 FORM OF OPINION


         1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all
jurisdictions where the Company owns or leases properties or conducts business,
except for jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a
Material Adverse Effect, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to
own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Commission
Filings.

         2. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 150,000,000
shares of Common Stock.

agreed consideration therefor in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement, each of the Debenture, Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental
Warrant will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except
for restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws.

or upon issuance will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by and on
behalf of the Company, and is, or upon issuance will be, a valid and binding
agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by general equitable principles, bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors rights generally.

         5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement, the
issuance of the Debenture, Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant, and
the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated thereby
do not, and compliance with the provisions of the Agreement, Debenture,
Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant will not, conflict with, or
result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time,
or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation or loss of a material benefit under, or result in
the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries under, or result in the termination of, or require that
any consent be obtained or any notice be given with respect to, (i) the Articles
of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended to the date
of the Agreement, or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any
of its subsidiaries, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or permit known to us
and applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective
properties or assets or (iii) any law (including, without limitation, any usury
law) applicable to, or, to the best of our knowledge, any judgment, decree or
order of any court or government body having jurisdiction over, the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets. To the
best of our knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration,
filing, qualification, license or permit of or with any court or any public,
governmental or regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company
or any of its properties or assets is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of the Agreement, Debenture, Supplemental Debenture
and Supplemental Warrant or the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby.

Debenture and

Supplemental Warrant, upon issuance and, in the case of the Supplemental
Warrant, payment of any required consideration in connection with the exercise
thereof, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions
on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws.

         7. Based on Buyer's representations contained in the Agreement, the
offer and sale of the Debenture, Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental Warrant
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

         8. To the best of our knowledge, other than as described in the
Commission Filings and the Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants
or other securities exercisable or convertible into Common Stock of the Company.

         9. There is no action, suit, claim, inquiry or investigation pending
or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened by or before any court or public or
governmental authority which, if determined adversely to the Company, would have
a Material Adverse Effect.

use of the proceeds from the sale of the Supplemental Debenture and Supplemental
Warrant, an "investment company" or an entity "controlled" by an "investment
