      6. METHOD OF EXERCISE AND PAYMENT. All or part of the Option (to the
extent vested) shall be exercised by the delivery of a signed written notice of
exercise to Optionor. The notice shall set forth the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for
the Shares. The Option Price upon exercise of any part of the Option shall be
payable to the Optionor in full in cash.

      As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise
and full payment, Optionor shall cause the Company to deliver to or on behalf of
Optionee, in the name of Optionee or other appropriate recipient, share
certificates for the number of Shares purchased under the Option. Such delivery
shall be effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent (or the
Secretary) of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United
States mail, addressed to Optionee or other appropriate recipient.

      7. CONDITIONS ON EXERCISE. Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Option have been registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the "Act"), prior to
the exercise of the Option, Optionee must represent in writing to Optionor and
the Company that the Shares are being acquired for investment purposes only and
not with a view towards the further resale or distribution thereof, and must
supply to the Company such other documentation as may be required by the
Company, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company such representation,
agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with the Act.

      8. TERMINATION OF SERVICE AS EMPLOYEE. On even date herewith, the Company,
as employer, and Optionee, as employee, have executed that certain Employment
Agreement (the "Employment Agreement"). If Optionee's employment with the
Company (or any of its subsidiaries) is terminated by the Company for Cause (as
defined in the Employment Agreement) or by Optionee for any reason other than
Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Option will
automatically immediately terminate in its entirety. If Optionee's employment
with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Optionee for
Good Reason, the Option, to the extent unvested, shall immediately vest in full,
and Optionee must exercise its right to purchase all or any portion of the
Option during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the date of
termination of Optionee's employment with the Company. Upon the expiration of
such thirty (30)-day period, the Option shall automatically terminate. In the
event that Optionor terminates the Employment Agreement without Cause during the
first year as provided for in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement, the Option
shall immediately vest in full, and Optionee must exercise its right to purchase
all or a portion of the vested portion of the Option on or before the date that
is thirty (3) days after the date of termination of the Employment Agreement.
Upon the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the Option shall
automatically terminate. Until the effective date of any such termination of
employment, the Option shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

      9. REORGANIZATION OF COMPANY. The existence of the Option shall not affect
in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or
authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other
changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or
prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares or the rights thereof,
or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

assets or other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares,
recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations,
issuances of rights or warrants and similar transactions or events involving the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the terms and provisions of
this Option as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole
discretion.

affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of Shares
hereunder to comply with any law, rule or regulation that applies to the Shares
subject to the Option.

      13. NO GUARANTEE OF SERVICE AS EMPLOYEE. The Option itself shall not
confer upon Optionee any right to employment with the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries) or serve the Company in any other capacity, nor shall it interfere

provisions of Optionor's employment agreement with the Company, the amount of
Shares that may be purchased pursuant to this Option shall be increased pro rata

      2.    BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

      Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

            (a)  Investment  Purpose.  Each Buyer is acquiring  the  Convertible
Debentures  and,  upon  conversion  of  Convertible  Debentures,  the Buyer will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable,  for its own account for investment
only and not with a view towards,  or for resale in connection  with, the public
sale or distribution  thereof,  except pursuant to sales  registered or exempted
under the 1933  Act;  provided,  however,  that by  making  the  representations
herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any
time in  accordance  with or pursuant  to an  effective  registration  statement
covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the 1933 Act.

            (b)  Accredited  Investor  Status.  Each  Buyer  is  an  "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

            (c)  Reliance  on  Exemptions.   Each  Buyer  understands  that  the
Convertible  Debentures are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities  laws and that the  Company  is  relying  in part  upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the representations,  warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the  availability  of such  exemptions and the eligibility of
such Buyer to acquire such securities.

            (d)  Information.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors  (and his or,  its
counsel),  if any,  have  been  furnished  with all  materials  relating  to the
business,  finances  and  operations  of the Company and  information  he deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the
Convertible  Debentures and the Conversion Shares,  which have been requested by
such  Buyer.  Each  Buyer  and its  advisors,  if any,  have been  afforded  the
opportunity  to ask  questions of the Company and its  management.  Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence  investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors,  if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's  representations and warranties contained
in  Section  3  below.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  its  investment  in  the
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk.
Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer
to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks
of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice,
as it has  considered  necessary to make an informed  investment  decision  with
respect to its  acquisition  of the  Convertible  Debentures  and the Conversion
Shares.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (e) No Governmental  Review.  Each Buyer  understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other  government or  governmental  agency
has  passed on or made any  recommendation  or  endorsement  of the  Convertible
Debentures  or the  Conversion  Shares,  or the fairness or  suitability  of the
investment in the Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such
authorities  passed  upon  or  endorsed  the  merits  of  the  offering  of  the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares.

            (f)  Transfer  or Resale.  Each  Buyer  understands  that  except as
provided in the Investor  Registration  Rights  Agreement:  (i) the  Convertible
Debentures have not been and are not being  registered under the 1933 Act or any
state  securities  laws,  and may not be offered  for sale,  sold,  assigned  or
transferred  unless (A) subsequently  registered  thereunder,  or (B) such Buyer
shall have  delivered  to the  Company an opinion  of  counsel,  in a  generally
acceptable  form,  to the effect that such  securities  to be sold,  assigned or
transferred may be sold,  assigned or transferred  pursuant to an exemption from
such  registration  requirements;  (ii)  any  sale  of such  securities  made in
reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a  successor  rule  thereto)  ("Rule
144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,  if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in
which the seller (or the person  through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to
be an  underwriter  (as  that  term is  defined  in the 1933  Act)  may  require
compliance  with  some  other  exemption  under  the 1933 Act or the  rules  and
regulations of the SEC  thereunder;  and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such securities under the 1933 Act or
any state  securities  laws or to comply  with the terms and  conditions  of any
exemption  thereunder.  The Company  reserves  the right to place stop  transfer
instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

            (g) Legends.  Each Buyer  understands that the certificates or other
instruments representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares
shall bear a restrictive  legend in substantially the following form (and a stop

            (g)  Fees and  Expenses.  Except  as set  forth  below,  each of the

event that the Company's agency  relationship  with the transfer agent should be
terminated  for any  reason  prior to a date  which is two (2)  years  after the

shall  require that the new transfer  agent execute and agree to be bound by the
terms of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined herein).

            (k)  Restriction  on Issuance of the Capital  Stock.  So long as any
Convertible Debentures are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the prior
written  consent  of the  Buyer(s),  issue or sell  shares  of  Common  Stock or
Preferred Stock (i) without  consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Bid  Price of the  Common  Stock  determined  immediately  prior to its
issuance,  (ii) any warrant,  option, right,  contract,  call, or other security

      5.    TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

      The Company shall issue the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to its
transfer  agent  irrevocably  appointing  Butler  Gonzalez  LLP as its agent for
purpose of having certificates issued, registered in the name of the Buyer(s) or
its respective  nominee(s),  for the Conversion Shares representing such amounts
of Convertible  Debentures as specified from time to time by the Buyer(s) to the
Company  upon  conversion  of the  Convertible  Debentures,  for  interest  owed
pursuant to the Convertible  Debenture,  and for any and all Liquidated  Damages
(as this term is defined in the Investor Registration Rights Agreement).  Butler
Gonzalez LLP shall be paid a cash fee of Fifty Dollars ($50) for every  occasion
they act pursuant to the Irrevocable  Transfer Agent  Instructions.  The Company
shall not change its transfer agent without the express  written  consent of the
Buyer(s), which may be withheld by the Buyer(s) in its sole discretion. Prior to
registration of the Conversion  Shares under the 1933 Act, 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(g)  hereof (in the case of the  Conversion  Shares
prior to  registration  of such shares  under the 1933 Act) will be given by the
Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion  Shares shall otherwise be
freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this  Agreement  and the  Investor  Registration  Rights  Agreement.
Nothing in this  Section 5 shall affect in any way the Buyer's  obligations  and
agreement  to  comply  with  all  applicable  securities  laws  upon  resale  of
Conversion  Shares.  If the  Buyer(s)  provides  the Company  with an opinion of
counsel,  in form,  scope and  substance  customary  for  opinions of counsel in
comparable  transactions  to the  effect  that  registration  of a resale by the
Buyer(s) of any of the Conversion Shares is not required under the 1933 Act, the
Company shall within two (2) business days instruct its transfer  agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such  denominations as specified by
the  Buyer.  The  Company  acknowledges  that a breach by it of its  obligations
hereunder will cause  irreparable  harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and
purpose  of  the  transaction  contemplated  hereby.  Accordingly,  the  Company
acknowledges  that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations  under this
Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees,  in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the  provisions  of this  Section 5, that the  Buyer(s)
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring  immediate  issuance and transfer,  without
the necessity of showing  economic  loss and without any bond or other  security
being required.
