         Section 2.1.      Advances.
                           --------

                  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), the
Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor,
and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, shares of the Company's Common
Stock by the delivery, in the Company's sole discretion, of Advance Notices. The

rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. The aggregate maximum amount

Agreement shall not exceed the Commitment Amount.

         Section 2.2.      Mechanics.
                           ---------

                  (a)      Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment
Period, the Company may require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock
by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, the amount for each Advance as
designated by the Company in the applicable Advance Notice shall not be more
than the Maximum Advance Amount and the aggregate amount of the Advances
pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the Commitment Amount. The Company
acknowledges that the Investor may sell shares of the Company's Common Stock
corresponding with a particular Advance Notice after the Advance Notice is
received by the Investor. There shall be a minimum of five (5) Trading Days
between each Advance Notice Date.

                  (b)      Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. An Advance Notice
shall be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by facsimile or
otherwise by the Investor if such notice is received prior to 5:00 pm Eastern
Time, or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day if it is received by
facsimile or otherwise after 5:00 pm Eastern Time on a Trading Day or at any

                                       4
<PAGE>

time on a day which is not a Trading Day. No Advance Notice may be deemed
delivered on a day that is not a Trading Day.

                  (c)      Minimum Acceptable Price. The lowest Market Price of
the Common Stock (before taking into account any discount used to calculate the
Purchase Price) for any particular Advance (the "Minimum Acceptable Price")
shall, in connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, be equal
to sixty five percent (65%) of the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the Advance Notice Date for such Advance Notice. Subject to the next sentence,
upon the issuance by the Company of an Advance Notice along with a Minimum
Acceptable Price, (i) the Company shall automatically reduce the amount of the
Advance set forth in such Advance Notice by twenty percent (20%) for each
Trading Day during the Pricing Period that the VWAP of the Common Stock is below
the Minimum Acceptable Price (each such day, an "Excluded Day"), and (ii) each
Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Pricing Period for purposes of
determining the Market Price. The number of shares of Common Stock to be
delivered to the Investor at the Closing (in accordance with Section 2.3 of this
Agreement) shall correspond with the Advance Notice amount as reduced pursuant
to clause (i) above, except that the Company shall be obligated to sell, and the
Investor shall be obligated to purchase any shares of Common Stock corresponding
to such Advance Notice that have been sold by the Investor and such shares shall
be priced at the greater of the Purchase Price or the applicable Minimum
Acceptable Price. The Company, and only the Company, may waive the Minimum
Acceptable Price with respect to any particular Advance Notice by providing the
Investor with written notice of waiver on or prior to the Advance Notice Date.


         Section 2.3.      Closings. On each Advance Date (i) the Company shall
deliver to the Investor such number of shares of the Common Stock registered in
the name of the Investor as shall equal (x) the amount of the Advance specified
in such Advance Notice pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, divided by (y) the
Purchase Price and (ii) upon receipt of such shares, the Investor shall deliver
to the Company the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice by wire
transfer of immediately available funds. In addition, on or prior to the Advance
Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all
documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by either of them
pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions
contemplated herein. To the extent the Company has not paid the fees, expenses,
and disbursements of the Investor in accordance with Section 12.4, the amount of
such fees, expenses, and disbursements may be deducted by the Investor (and
shall be paid to the relevant party) directly out of the proceeds of the Advance
with no reduction in the amount of shares of the Company's Common Stock to be
delivered on such Advance Date.

         (a) Company's Obligations Upon Closing.

                   (i)     The Company shall deliver to the Investor the shares
of Common Stock applicable to the Advance in accordance with Section 2.3. The
certificates evidencing such shares shall be free of restrictive legends.

                   (ii)    the Company's Registration Statement with respect to
the resale of the shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with the
Advance shall have been declared effective by the SEC;

                                       5
<PAGE>

                   (iii)   the Company shall have obtained all material permits
and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of
the Registrable Securities, or shall have the availability of exemptions
therefrom. The sale and issuance of the Registrable Securities shall be legally
permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject;

                   (iv)    the Company shall have filed with the SEC in a timely
manner all reports, notices and other documents required of a "reporting
company" under the Exchange Act and applicable Commission regulations; and

                   (v)     the fees as set forth in Section 12.4 below shall
have been paid or can be withheld as provided in Section 2.3.

          (b)     Investor's Obligations Upon Closing. Upon receipt of the
shares referenced in Section 2.3(a)(i) above and provided the Company is in
compliance with its obligations in Section 2.3, the Investor shall deliver to
the Company the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice by wire
transfer of immediately available funds.

         Section 2.4.      Intentionally Omitted.
                           ---------------------

         Section 2.5.      Hardship. In the event the Investor sells shares of
the Company's Common Stock after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company
fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.3, and specifically
the Company fails to deliver to the Investor on the Advance Date the shares of
Common Stock corresponding to the applicable Advance pursuant to Section
2.3(a)(i), the Company acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial
hardship and therefore shall be liable for any and all losses, commissions,
fees, or financial hardship caused to the Investor.

                  (h)      No Knowledge. The Company has no knowledge of any

                  (i)      Executed Advance Notice. The Investor shall have

         Due Diligence Review; Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information

         Section 8.1.      Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information.
                           ----------------------------------------

                  (a)      The Company covenants and agrees that it shall
refrain from disclosing, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and
agents to refrain from disclosing, any material non-public information to the
Investor without also disseminating such information to the public, unless prior
to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as
being material non-public information and provides the Investor with the
opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material non-public information
for review.

                  (b)      Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and
the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information to
any 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 the Investor 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 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 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 contained in this Section 8.2 shall be
construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without
the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may
not obtain non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any
such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based
on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement of 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.

regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any

Effective Date.

                  (b)      The obligation of the Investor to make an Advance to

with respect to an Advance Date that has not yet occurred) in the event that (i)
there shall occur any stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for an aggregate of fifty (50) Trading Days, other than
due to the acts of the Investor, during the Commitment Period, or (ii) the
Company shall at any time fail materially to comply with the requirements of
