ARTICLE II

                                CONVERSION RIGHTS

                  The Holder shall have the right to convert the principal due
under this Note into Shares of the Borrower's Common Stock, $.001 par value per
share ("Common Stock") as set forth below.

                  2.1. Conversion into the Borrower's Common Stock.
                       --------------------------------------------

                  (a) The Holder shall have the right from and after the date of
the issuance of this Note and then at any time until this Note is fully paid, to
convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of this Note, and at the
election of the Holder, accrued interest (the date of giving of such notice of
conversion being a "Conversion Date") into fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock as such stock exists on the date of issuance of this Note, or
any shares of capital stock of Borrower into which such Common Stock shall
hereafter be changed or reclassified, at the conversion price as defined in
Section 2.1(b) hereof (the "Conversion Price"), determined as provided herein.
Upon delivery to the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion as described in Section
9 of the Subscription Agreement of the Holder's written request for conversion,
Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Holder within three business days from
the Conversion Date ("Delivery Date") that number of shares of Common Stock for
the portion of the Note converted in accordance with the foregoing. At the
election of the Holder, the Borrower will deliver accrued but unpaid interest on
the Note in the manner provided in Section 1.3 through the Conversion Date
directly to the Holder on or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the
Subscription Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the
principal of the Note and interest to be converted, by the Conversion Price.

                  (b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(c)
hereof, the Conversion Price per share shall be the lower of (i) $.30 ("Maximum
Base Price") or (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the average of the three lowest
Closing Bid Prices for the Common Stock on the OTC Pink Sheets, NASD OTC
Bulletin Board (or successor entity or proposed "Bulleting Board Exchange"),
NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange,
or New York Stock Exchange, as applicable, or if not then trading on any of the
foregoing, such other principal market or exchange where the Common Stock is
listed or traded (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal
trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the "Principal Market") for the
thirty Trading Days preceding the Conversion Date. Closing Bid Price shall mean
the last closing bid price as reported by Bloomberg Financial. Trading Day shall
mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for three or more
hourse.

                  (c) The Maximum Base Price and number and kind of shares or
other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section
2.1(a), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of
certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

                    A. Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If the Borrower at any time
shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all
its assets to any other corporation, this Note, as to the unpaid principal
portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to

                                       28
<PAGE>

evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of shares or other
securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account
of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, upon or with respect to the
securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall
similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such
successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
anti-dilution provisions of this Section shall apply to such securities of such
successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.

                    B. Reclassification, etc. If the Borrower at any time shall,
by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a
different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the
unpaid principal portion thereof and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter
be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such
securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of
such change with respect to the Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change.

                    C. Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares
of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of
shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case
of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the
case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears
to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event.

<PAGE>

         (d) During the period the conversion right exists, Borrower will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of
this Note. Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Borrower agrees that its issuance
of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and
transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock
certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of
Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

                  2.2 Method of Conversion. This Note may be converted by the
                      ---------------------
Holder in whole or in part as described in Section 2.1(a) hereof and the
Subscription Agreement. Upon partial conversion of this Note, a new Note
containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of
the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of
this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.

                  2.3 Maximum Conversion. The Holder shall not be entitled to
                      -------------------
convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates on a Conversion Date, (ii) any Common Stock issuable in connection
with the unconverted portion of the Note, and (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the
determination of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than
9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such
Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to
aggregate conversions of only 9.99% and aggregate conversion by the Holder may
exceed 9.99%. The Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine
whether the restriction contained in this Section 2.3 will limit any conversion

                                       29
<PAGE>

hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation
contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the
Notes are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.
The Holder may void the conversion limitation described in this Section 2.3 upon
75 days prior written notice to the Borrower. The Holder may allocate which of
the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by the Holder shall be
included in the 9.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the
excess above 9.99%.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                EVENT OF DEFAULT

                  The occurrence of any of the following events of default
("Event of Default") shall, at the option of the Holder hereof, make all sums of
principal and interest then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts
payable hereunder immediately due and payable, upon demand, without presentment,

sold hereby 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 its obligation to issue the Shares upon
conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company

interests of other shareholders of the Company.

                     ----------------------
to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the
Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to
Subscriber from the Company's legal counsel opining on the availability of the
Regulation D exemption as it relates to the offer and issuance of the
Securities. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as EXHIBIT D. The
Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other legal opinions in the
future as are reasonably necessary for the conversion of the Note, exercise of
the Warrants and issuance and reissuance of the Common Stock.

                  4. Reissuance of Securities. The Company agrees to reissue
                     -------------------------
certificates representing the Securities without the legends set forth in
Sections 1(e) and 1(f) above at such time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted
to and disposes of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(d) and/or Rule 144(k)
under the 1933 Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, or (b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after
the Securities are registered under the 1933 Act. The Company agrees to
cooperate with the Subscriber in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule
144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions at the Company's expense
necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its counsel receive
reasonably requested written representations from the Subscriber and selling
broker, if any. Provided the Subscriber provides required certifications and
representation letters, if any, if the Company fails to remove any legend as
required by this Section 4 (a "Legend Removal Failure"), then beginning on the
tenth (10th) day following the date that the Subscriber has requested the
removal of the legend and delivered all items reasonably required by the Company
to be delivered by the Subscriber, that the Company continues to fail to remove
such legend, the Company shall pay to each Subscriber or assignee holding
shares, subject to a Legend Removal Failure, as liquidated damages and not a
penalty an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price attributable
to the shares subject to a Legend Removal Failure for each 15-day period or part
thereof that such failure continues. For purposes of this Section, $500,000 of

                                       42
<PAGE>

the Purchase Price is deemed allocated to the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes, and $300,000 is deemed allocated to the 2,000,000
Company Shares issuable at the Closing (as hereinafter defined). If during any
twelve (12) month period, the Company fails to remove any legend as required by
this Section 4 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, each Subscriber or assignee
holding Securities subject to a Legend Removal Failure may, at its option,
require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the Securities subject to
a Legend Removal Failure held by such Subscriber or assignee at a price per

                              (e) Use of Proceeds. The Purchase Price will be
                                  ----------------

governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or

levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefore.

the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than 100% of
the insurable value of the property insured; and the Company will maintain, with

                              (i) Books and Records. For a period of two years

until all the Company Shares have been resold pursuant to said registration
statement, or (iii) two years after the Closing Date, the Company will not enter
into any acquisition, merger, exchange or sale or other transaction that could

statement, causing an already effective registration statement to no longer be

effective registration statement.

                              (n) Confidentiality. For a period of two years

                  7. Covenants of the Company and Subscriber Regarding
                     -------------------------------------------------
Indemnification.
----------------

                               (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend Subscriber, Subscriber's officers, directors,
agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any
claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including
reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon Subscriber or
any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement
delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure
periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating hereto.

                                        (b) Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold
         harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's
         officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons against any
         claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including
         reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
         Company or any such person which results, arises out of or is based
         upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Subscriber in this Agreement
         or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement
         delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or
         cure periods, any breach or default in performance by Subscriber of any
         covenant or undertaking to be performed by Subscriber hereunder, or any
         other agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber relating
         hereto.

                                       45
<PAGE>

                              (c) The procedures set forth in Section 8.6 shall
apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above.

                  8.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the
                       --------------------
following registration rights to holders of the Securities.

                           (i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 91 days
after the Closing Date, but not later than three years after the Closing Date
("Request Date"), the Company, upon a written request therefor from any record
holder or holders of more than 50% of the Company Shares issued on the Closing
Date and issuable upon conversion of the Note (the Company Shares issued
hereunder on the Closing Date, the Company Shares actually issued and issuable
upon conversion of the Note, and one share of common stock issued or issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to collectively as the "Registrable
Securities"), shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement under the 1933 Act covering the Registrable Securities which are the
subject of such request, unless such Registrable Securities are the subject of
an effective registration statement or included for registration in a pending
registration statement. In addition, upon the receipt of such request, the
Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders of the
Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and shall
include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has
received written requests within 10 days after the Company gives such written
notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised
their demand registration right under this Section 8.1(i).

                           (ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register
any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its
own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscriber or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
such time it will give at least 15 days' prior written notice to the record
holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written
request of the holder, received by the Company within 10 days after the giving
of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable
Securities, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which
registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to
be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company,
all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the
Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable
Securities (the "Seller"). In the event that any registration pursuant to this
Section 8.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering
of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities
to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing
underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall
reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the
marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided,
however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such
reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section 8.4 hereof, the
Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement
referred to in this Section 8.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to
the Seller.

                           (iii) If, at the time any written request for
registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(i), the Company
has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer
and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company's own account and the
Company actually does file such other registration statement, such written
request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 8.1(ii) rather

                                       46
<PAGE>

than Section 8.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities
covered by such written request shall be governed by Section 8.1(ii).

                           (iv) The Company shall file with the Commission not
later than February 1, 2003 (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable
commercial efforts to cause to be declared effective within ninety (90) days
after the Closing Date, a Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other form
that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for
issuance to the Subscriber and distribution under the Act. The registration
statement described in this paragraph must be declared effective by the
Commission no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date ("Effective
Date"). The Company will register a number of shares of Common Stock in the
aforedescribed registration statement that is equal to 200% of the number of
Company Shares issuable at the Conversion Price in effect at the Closing Date,
or actual filing date of the registration statement or any amendment thereto
assuming conversion of 100% of the Notes (whichever results in the greatest
number of Company shares) and one share of common stock for each of the Company
Shares issued on the Closing Date and one share of common stock for each Warrant
Share. Such registration statement will immediately be amended or additional
registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as necessary in
order to register additional Company Shares to allow the unlegended reissuance
of all Common Stock included and issuable by virtue of the Registrable
Securities. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside
exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber in proportion to each
Subscriber's interest in the Registrable Securities, and not issued, employed or
reserved for anyone other than the Subscriber. No securities of the Company
other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the registration
statement described in this Section 8.1(iv) except as described on SCHEDULE 8.1.

                  8.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
                       ------------------------
required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of
Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:

                           (a) prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement required by Section 8.1, with respect to such securities
and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and
remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby
(determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to the holders of
Registrable Securities ("Sellers") copies of all filings and Commission letters
of comment;

                           (b) prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective until the later of: (i) until twelve months after all the
Company Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the 1933 Act;
or (ii) until such registration statement has been effective for a period of not
less than 365 days, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect
to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

                           (c) furnish to the Seller, at the Company's expense,
such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the
securities covered by such registration statement;

                           (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Seller's Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify

                                       47
<PAGE>

generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction;

                           (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of
the Company is then listed;

                           (f) immediately notify the Seller when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the
happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which
the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an 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 in light of the circumstances then existing;

                           (g) provided same would not be in violation of the
provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by
the Seller, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller
or underwriter, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.

                  8.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each
                       -----------------------
registration described in this Section 8, the Seller will furnish to the Company
in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself
and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to
assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In
connection with each registration pursuant to Section 8.1(i) or 8.1(ii) covering
an underwritten public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to enter into
a written agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and containing
such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an
arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and
investment stature.

                  8.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber
                       ------------------------
agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required
under Section 8.1(i) or 8.1(ii) above is not filed within 30 days after written
request by the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission within 90
days after such request [or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in
reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such other form
described in Section 8.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and within the time
periods contemplated by Section 8 hereof, and it would not be feasible to
ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the
Registration Statement described in Sections 8.1(i) or 8.1(ii) is not filed
within 30 days of such written request, or is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the date that is 90 days after such request, or (ii)
the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section
8.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not declared effective on
or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within ten business days of
receipt by the Company of a written or oral communication from the Commission
that the registration statement described in Section 8.1(iv) will not be
reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections 8.1(i),
8.1(ii) or 8.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to
be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration
statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed
30 days in the aggregate per year or more than 20 consecutive calendar days
(defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) of this Section 8.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration
Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the
Company shall pay, at the Subscriber's option, in cash or stock at the
applicable Conversion Price, as Liquidated Damages to each holder of any
Registrable Securities for each thirty (30) days or part thereof during the
pendency of such Non-Registration Event an amount equal to two percent (2%), of

                                       48
<PAGE>

the principal of the Notes issued in the Offering, and principal amount of the
Notes converted into Company Shares, owned of record by such holder or issuable
as of or subsequent to the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event and two
percent (2%) of the Purchase Price of $300,000 allocated to the purchase of
2,000,000 Common Shares on the Closing Date, which are subject to such
Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall
be due and payable within ten (10) business days after demand in immediately
available funds. In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is demanded from
the Company by the Holder pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Subscription
Agreement, then the Liquidated Damages described in this Section 8.4 shall no
longer accrue on the portion of the Purchase Price underlying the Mandatory
Redemption Payment, from and after the date the Holder receives the Mandatory
Redemption Payment. It shall also be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at any
time a Note is outstanding, there is less than 125% of the amount of Common
Shares necessary to allow full conversion of such Note at the then applicable
Conversion Price, registered for unrestricted resale in an effective
registration statement.

                  8.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in
                       ---------
complying with Section 8, including, without limitation, all registration and
filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and costs
of insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including
any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Seller, are called
"Selling Expenses". The Seller shall pay the fees of its own additional counsel,
if any. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 8. Selling Expenses in connection with each
registration statement under Section 8 shall be borne by the Seller and may be
apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by the
Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration statement
or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.

                  8.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
                       ---------------------------------

                           (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 8, the Company will, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each officer of
the Seller, each director of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable
Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 8, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of
Section 8.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to
the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the
Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the
Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of
the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages
arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or

                                       49
<PAGE>

alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller, or
any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus.

                           (b) In the event of a registration of any of the
Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 8, the Seller
will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933
Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each
director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer,
director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933
Act pursuant to Section 8, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director,
underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Seller will be
liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished
in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the
liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the gross proceeds
received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement.

                           (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this
Section 8.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party under this Section 8.6(c), except and only if and to the
extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8.6(c)
for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation
and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests
of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests
of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the
right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and

                                       50
<PAGE>

otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable
expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

                           (d) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in
which either (i) the Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.6 but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 8.6 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part
of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which
indemnification is not[?] provided under this Section 8.6; then, and in each
such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution
from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 10(f) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  8.7. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
                       ------------------------------

                           (a) In connection with Registrable Securities that
have been issued to the Subscriber with the legend set forth in Section 1(e)
above, within three (3) business days (such third business day, the "Unlegended
Delivery Date") after the business day on which the Company has received a
notice that (i) such Registrable Securities have been sold, (ii) a
representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, if applicable, have
been satisfied, and (iii) and the original Company Share certificate, the
Company at its expense, (i) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel
selected by the Company to deliver, to its transfer agent (with copies to
Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, for the
delivery of unlegended Company Shares issuable pursuant to any effective and
current registration statement described in Section 8 of this Agreement (the
"Unlegended Shares"); and (ii) transmit the certificates representing the
Unlegended Shares, with a legended certificate representing the balance of the
unsold Company Shares to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice
of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before
the Unlegended Delivery Date.

                           (b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company's transfer agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer program, upon request of the Subscriber and its compliance with the
provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do
not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate
for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to
cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by
crediting the account of Subscriber's prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

                           (c) The Company understands that a delay in the
delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 8 hereof beyond the
Unlegended Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As
compensation to the Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after

                                       51
<PAGE>

the Unlegended Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price of the Company
Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares. The Company
shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available
funds upon demand.

                           (d) In addition to any other rights available to the
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber Unlegended Shares
within ten (10) calendar days after the Unlegended Delivery Date and the
Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the
Company Shares which the Subscriber anticipated receiving from the Company (a
"Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to
any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A)
the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any)
for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Purchase
Price of the Company Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum,
accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full
(which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase
Price of Company Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended
Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus
interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

                  9.1. Conversion of Note.
                       -------------------

                           (a) Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof,
the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action
(including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such
denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the
transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that, unless waived by the
Subscriber, the Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will
not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Company
Shares provided the Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement covering the Shares or are otherwise exempt from registration.

         (b) Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right
to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying an executed and completed
Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed to EXHIBIT A hereto) to the
Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section
11(a) of this Agreement. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender the
Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a
Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the
provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date. The Company will or cause
the transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates
representing the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to the Subscriber
via express courier for receipt by such Subscriber within three (3) business
days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery
Date"). In the event the Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery
of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such
electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber. A Note representing the
balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to the
Subscriber, if requested by Subscriber provided an original Note is delivered to
the Company. To the extent that a Subscriber elects not to surrender a Note for
reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the Subscriber hereby indemnifies
the Company against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party
claim in an amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note.

                                       52
<PAGE>

                           (c) The Company understands that a delay in the
delivery of the Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the
Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery
Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result
in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such
loss, the Company agrees to pay liquidated damages to the Subscriber for late
issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon
Conversion of the Note or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in
the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 of Note principal
amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred
under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by
the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the
Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of
Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by
delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the
Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that late payment charges described
above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is
given to the Company.

                           (d) Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the
maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded
to the Company.

                  9.2. Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber's Election. In the
                       ----------------------------------------------
event the Company fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the
occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Note) or for any
reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3 hereof,
then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten
(10) business days after request by the Subscriber or on the Delivery Date (if
requested by the Subscriber) a sum of money determined by (i) multiplying an
amount of outstanding principal of the Note designated by the Subscriber by
130%, or (ii) multiplying the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon
conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by the
Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a Deemed
Conversion Date) at the Conversion Price by the highest closing price of the
Common Stock on the principal market from the Deemed Conversion Date until the
day prior to the receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, whichever is
greater ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must
be received by the Subscriber on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise
deliverable or within ten (10) business days after request, whichever is sooner
("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption
Payment, the corresponding Note principal will be deemed paid and no longer
outstanding.

                  9.3. Maximum Conversion. The Subscriber shall not be entitled
                       -------------------
to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection with that
number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and its
affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination
of this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in
beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of
the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on such Conversion Date.
For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

                                       53
<PAGE>

Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate
conversions of only 9.99% and aggregate conversion by the Subscriber may exceed
9.99%. The Subscriber may void the conversion limitation described in this
Section 9.3 upon 75 days prior written notice to the Company. The Subscriber may
allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by the
Subscriber shall be included in the 9.99% amount described above and which shall
be allocated to the excess above 9.99%.

                  9.4. Injunction - Posting of Bond. In the event a Subscriber
                       -----------------------------
shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse
conversion based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for
any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and
or enjoining conversion of all or part of said Note shall have been sought and
obtained by the Company and the Company shall have posted a surety bond for the
benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of 130% of the amount of the Note,
which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment.

                  9.5. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the
                       -------
Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber such shares
issuable upon conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date and if ten (10) days
after the Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber anticipated receiving
upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the
Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the
Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note
for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon
at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty). For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the
Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In. The delivery date by which
Common Stock must be delivered pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be tolled for
the amount of days that the Subscriber does not deliver information reasonably
requested by the Company's transfer agent.

                  9.6 Adjustments. The Conversion Price and amount of Shares
                      ------------
issuable upon conversion of the Notes shall be adjusted to offset the effect of
stock splits, stock dividends and pro rata distributions of property or equity
interests to the Company's shareholders.

                  10. Right of First Refusal. Until 180 days after the Closing
                      -----------------------
Date, the occurrence of a Non-Registration Event, or until a majority of the
Company Shares have been resold pursuant to an effective registration statement,
whichever is latest (the "Exclusion Period"), the Subscriber shall be given not
less than seven (7) business days prior written notice of any proposed sale by
the Company of its common stock or other securities or debt obligations, except
in connection with (i) employee stock options or compensation plans, (ii) as
full or partial consideration in connection with any merger, consolidation or
purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of any corporation or
other entity, or (iii) as may have been described in the Reports or Other
Written Information prior to the Closing Date (collectively "Excepted
Issuances"). The Subscriber shall have the right during the seven (7) business
days following the notice to agree to purchase such offered common stock, debt
or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the

                                       54
<PAGE>

notice of sale. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the
notice period, the Subscriber shall be given prompt notice of such modification
and shall have the right during the original notice period or for a period of
seven (7) business days following the notice of modification, whichever is
longer, to exercise such right.

                  11. Offering Restrictions. Except as disclosed in the reports
                      ----------------------
or Other Written Information filed with the Commission or made available to the
Subscriber prior to the Closing Date, or in connection with Excepted Issuances,
the Company will not issue any equity, convertible debt or other securities
convertible into common stock on any terms more favorable to such other investor
than any of the terms of the Offering, until after the Exclusion Period without
the written consent of the Subscriber.

                  12. Favored Nations Provision. Until after the Exclusion
                      --------------------------
Period, the Company shall not offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock of
the Company or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common
stock of the Company to any person, firm or corporation at a price per share or
conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion
Price then in effect without the consent of the Subscriber still holding
Securities during the Exclusion Period, except for (i) employee stock options,
(ii) as full or partial consideration in connection with any merger,
consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of
any corporation or other entity, or (iii) any sale in connection with the
exercise of warrants or options or the conversion of a convertible security or
other right to acquire stock disclosed in the Reports or Other Written
Information filed or delivered prior to the Closing Date (collectively "Excepted
Issuances"), then the Company shall issue for each such occasion additional
Company Shares to the Subscriber so that the average per share purchase price of
the Company Shares issued and held by the Subscriber is equal to such other
lower price per share. The Warrant "Purchase Price" (as defined in the Warrant)
shall be reduced to equal such other lower purchase price. The delivery to the
Subscriber of the additional Company Shares and the effective date of the
reduction of the Warrant "Purchase Price" shall be not later than the closing
date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional
Company Shares or Warrant "Purchase Price" reduction. The Subscriber is granted
the registration rights described in Section 8 hereof in relation to such
additional Company Shares and Warrants except that the Filing Date and Effective
Date vis-a-vis such additional common shares and common shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant shall be respectively the sixtieth (60th) and one
hundred and twentieth (120th) date after the closing date giving rise to the
requirement to issue the additional Company Shares and Warrant "Purchase Price"
reduction. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this
paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to
convert such security into shares of common stock or of any warrant, right or
option to purchase common stock shall result in the issuance of the additional
Company Shares and an adjustment to the Warrant "Purchase Price" upon the
issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again upon
any subsequent issuances of shares of common stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the then
purchase price per share of the Company Shares or Warrant "Purchase Price."
