F.Pursuant to the Bridge Loan Exchange Option, Arch Hill Capital has the option to apply all
amounts due under the 2003 and Later Arch Hill Capital Debt for 10% debentures in the amount of such promissory notes and one warrant for each $1.00 principal of debentures, on the same terms as the January 2004 Securities, which debentures would be

the January 2004 securities), provided the securities set forth herein are issued in lieu therein for the balance of the 2003 and Later Arch Hill Capital Debt; and

forth on Schedule I to this Agreement (the Arch Hill Capital Shares), (iii) warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I to this
Agreement at $2.00 per share (the $2.00 Warrants), and (iv) warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement (the
$2.40 Warrants); and

Section 6 and 7 of this Agreement.



b.Authorization and Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise of the
outstanding Debentures and Warrants and issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the Debentures or Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time) and as otherwise
required by the Debentures. The Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of Debentures and exercise of the Warrants without the consent of each Debtholder. The Company shall at all times
maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at an amount (Reserved Amount) equal to no less than two (2) times the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the Debentures and upon
exercise of the Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the Debentures or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance
(Authorized and Reserved Shares) is below the Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special
meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Companys obligations under this Section 4.b, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, use its best efforts to obtain shareholder approval of an increase in
such authorized number of shares, and use its best efforts to cause the management shares of the Company to be voted in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet
the Reserved Amount.



c.Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Securities upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and, so long as any Debtholder owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of



7



---

Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from time to
time issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants. The Company will obtain and, so long as any Debtholder owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent
replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (Nasdaq SmallCap), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or the American Stock Exchange
(AMEX) and will comply in all material respects with the Companys reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and such
exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each Debtholder copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued
eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.



d.Corporate Existence. So long as a Debtholder beneficially owns any Debentures or Warrants, the Company shall
maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Companys assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets, where the surviving or
successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Companys obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading
on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.



e.No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under
the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.



5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Debtholder or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Debtholder to the
Company upon conversion of the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, including all applicable payment terms (the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions). Prior to registration of the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and
stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way any Debtholders obligations and agreement set forth in



8



---

Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable federal and state securities law requirements, including prospectus
delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If a Debtholder provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or
transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Debtholder provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall
permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such
Debtholder. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Debtholder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges
that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Debtholder shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
