(i) the Company's  representation  set forth in Section 4.16 that neither it nor
its agents have disclosed to the Investor any material  non-public  information;
and (ii) the  Company's  covenant set forth in Section 6. 1 0 that if all or any
portion of the information set forth on Schedule  8.2(a) becomes  material,  the
Company  shall timely make full and complete  public  disclosure  of all or such
portion of such  information  that shall have become material in accordance with
all applicable law.

     (c)  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 herein above 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 a 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.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  upon the  execution and delivery  hereof,  the
Company  is  issuing  to the  transfer  agent for its  Common  Stock (and to any
substitute or replacement transfer agent for its Common Stock upon the Company's
appointment of any such substitute or replacement  transfer agent)  instructions
in  substantially  the form of  Exhibit B  hereto.  Such  instructions  shall be
irrevocable  by the Company from and after the date hereof or from and after the
issuance  thereof to any such  substitute or replacement  transfer agent, as the
case may be, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. It is the intent and
purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the transfer agent
for the Common Stock from time to time upon transfer of  Registrable  Securities
by the Investor to issue  certificates  evidencing such  Registrable  Securities
free of the  Legend  during  the  following  periods  and  under  the  following
circumstances and without consultation by the transfer agent with the Company or
its  counsel  and without  the need for any  further  advice or  instruction  or
documentation to the transfer agent by or from the Company or its counsel or the
Investor:

     (a) at any time after the  Effective  Date,  upon  surrender of one or more
certificates  evidencing  Common  Stock  that  bear the  Legend,  to the  extent
accompanied by a notice  requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the
Legend  to  replace  those  surrendered;  provided  that  (i)  the  Registration
Statement  shall then be effective;  (ii) the Investor  confirms to the transfer
agent that it has sold,  pledged  or  otherwise  transferred  or agreed to sell,
pledge or otherwise  transfer such Common Stock in a bona fide  transaction to a
third party that is not an  affiliate  of the  Company;  and (iii) the  Investor
confirms  to the  transfer  agent  that  the  Investor  has  complied  with  the
prospectus delivery requirement; and

     (b) at any time upon any surrender of one or more  certificates  evidencing
Registrable  Securities  that bear the Legend,  to the extent  accompanied  by a
notice requesting the issuance of new certificates free of the Legend to replace
those  surrendered  and  containing  representations  that (i) the  Investor  is
permitted to dispose of such  Registrable  Securities  without  limitation as to
amount or manner of sale  pursuant to Rule 144(k)  under the  Securities  Act or
(ii) the Investor has sold, pledged or otherwise  transferred or agreed to sell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Registrable  Securities in a manner other than
pursuant to an effective registration  statement,  to a transferee who will upon
such  transfer be entitled to freely  tradeable  securities.  Any of the notices
referred to above in this Section 9.1 may be sent by facsimile to the  Company's
transfer agent.

Section 9.2 No Other Stock Transfer  Restrictions.  No legend other than the one
specified  in Section 9.1 has been or shall be placed on the share  certificates
representing the Common Stock and no instructions or "stop transfers orders," so
called, "stock transfer  restrictions," or other restrictions have been or shall
be given to the  Company's  transfer  agent with respect  thereto  other than as
expressly set forth in this Article IX.

Section 9.3  Investor's  Compliance.  Nothing in this Article IX shall affect in
any way the  Investor's  obligations  under any  agreement  to  comply  with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

                               CHOICE OF LAW/VENUE

Section 10.1 Choice of  Law/Venue.  This  Agreement  and the  Warrants  shall be
governed by and construed in  accordance  with the laws of the State of New York
without  regard to principles  of conflicts of laws.  Any  controversy  or claim
arising  out of or  related to this  Agreement  and the  Warrants  or the breach
thereof,  shall be settled by binding  arbitration in New York City, New York in
accordance  with the rules of the  Judicial  Arbitration  &  Mediation  Services
Eastern  Regional  Office  located  in New  York  City,  New  York  ("JAMS").  A
proceeding  shall be commenced upon written demand by Company or the Investor to
the other.  The  arbitrator(s)  shall enter a judgement  by default  against any
party  which  fails or refuses  to appear in any  properly  noticed  arbitration
proceeding. The proceeding shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator,  unless the
amount  alleged to be in dispute  exceeds two  hundred  fifty  thousand  dollars
($250,000), in which case three (3) arbitrators shall preside. The arbitrator(s)
will be chosen by the  parties  from a list  provided  by JAMS,  and if they are
unable to agree within ten (10) days, JAMS shall select the  arbitrator(s).  The
arbitrators  must be experts in securities law and financial  transactions.  The
arbitrators  shall assess costs and expenses of the  arbitration,  including all
attorneys' and experts' fees, as the arbitrators believe is appropriate in light
of the merits of parties'  respective  positions  in the issues in dispute.  The
award of the  arbitrator(s)  shall be final and binding upon the parties and may
be  enforced in any court  having  jurisdiction.  Nothing in this  section 10. I
shall preclude the parties from seeking extraordinary relief in the event that a
claim of irreparable harm arises,  provided however, that such application shall
be made in the United  States  District  Court for the Southern  District of New
York, or in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County.  In the
event that any provision of this Agreement or any other  agreement  delivered in
connection  herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or
rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed  inoperative to the extent that
it may  conflict  therewith  and shall be deemed  modified to conform  with such
statute  or  rule of  law.  Any  such  provision  which  may  prove  invalid  or
unenforceable  under any law shall not affect the validity or  enforceability of
any other provision of any agreement.

              ASSIGNMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

from  restrictions  on  further  transfer  of  such  Common  Stock,  and (b) the
Investor's  interest in this  Agreement may be assigned at any time, in whole or
in part, to any other person or entity (including any affiliate of the Investor)

and entire  understanding  and agreement  between the parties with regard to the
subjects hereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any
manner by any warranties,  representations  or covenants  except as specifically

Section  12.3  Method  of  Asserting   Indemnification  Claims  All  claims  for
indemnification by any Indemnified Party asserted and resolved as follows:

     (a) In the  event  any claim or  demand  in  respect  of which  any  person
claiming  indemnification  under any provision of Section 12.2 (an  "Indemnified
Party") might seek indemnity under Section 12.2 is asserted against or sought to
be collected from such Indemnified Party by a person other than the Company, the
Investor  or any  affiliate  of the  Company  or (a "Third  Party  Claim"),  the
Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification,  enclosing a copy of all
papers  served,  if any, and  specifying  the nature of and basis for such Third
Party Claim and for the Indemnified  Party's claim for  indemnification  that is
being  asserted  under any  provision  of Section  12.2  against any person (the
"Indemnifying  Party"),  together  with the  amount  or, if not then  reasonably
ascertainable,  the estimated  amount,  determined in good faith,  of such Third
Party Claim (a "Claim  Notice") with reasonable  promptness to the  Indemnifying
Party.  If the  Indemnified  Party  fails  to  provide  the  Claim  Notice  with
reasonable  promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third
Party Claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party will not be  obligated  to indemnify  the
Indemnified  Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the
Indemnifying  Party's ability to defend has been irreparably  prejudiced by such
failure  of the  Indemnified  Party.  The  Indemnifying  Party  will  notify the
Indemnified  Party as soon as  practicable  within the period ending thirty (30)
calendar  days  following  receipt by the  Indemnifying  Party of either a Claim
Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "Dispute  Period") whether
the Indemnifying  Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to
the  Indemnified  Party under  Section 12.2 and whether the  Indemnifying  Party
desires,  at its sole cost and expense,  to defend the Indemnified Party against
such Third Party Claim.

     (b) If the  Indemnifying  Party notifies the  Indemnified  Party within the
Dispute  Period that the  Indemnifying  Party desires to defend the  Indemnified
Party with  respect to the Third Party Claim  pursuant to this Section 12.3 (a),
then the  Indemnifying  Party  will  have  the  right to  defend,  with  counsel
reasonably  satisfactory to the Indemnified  Party, at the sole cost and expense
of  the  Indemnifying   Party,   such  Third  Party  Claim  by  all  appropriate
proceedings,  which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently  prosecuted by
the  Indemnifying  Party  to a  final  conclusion  or  will  be  settled  at the
discretion  of  the  Indemnifying  Party  (but  only  with  the  consent  of the
Indemnified  Party in the case of any  settlement  that  provides for any relief
which affects the Indemnified  Party, other than the payment of monetary damages
or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified
Party  will  not  be  indemnified  in  full  pursuant  to  Section  12.2).   The
Indemnifying  Party will have full  control  of such  defense  and  proceedings,
including any  compromise or settlement  thereof,  provided,  however,  that the
Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at
any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in
the first sentence of this clause 1, file any motion,  answer or other pleadings
or take any other action that the Indemnified  Party  reasonably  believes to be
necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if
requested by the  Indemnifying  Party,  the Indemnified  Party will, at the sole
cost and expense of the Indemnifying  Party,  provide reasonable  cooperation to
the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying
Party  elects to contest.  The  Indemnified  Party may  participate  in, but not
control,  any defense or settlement  of any Third Party Claim  controlled by the
Indemnifying  Party  pursuant  to this  clause 1, and except as  provided in the
preceding  sentence,  the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses
with  respect  to  such  participation.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   the
Indemnified  Party may take over the control of the defense or  settlement  of a
Third Party Claim at any time if it  irrevocably  waives its right to  indemnity
under Section 12.2 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

                                       53

<PAGE>

     (c) If the Indemnifying  Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within
the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party
Claim  pursuant  to Section  12.3 (a), or if the  Indemnifying  Party gives such
notice but fails to  prosecute  vigorously  and  diligently  or settle the Third
Party Claim, or if the  Indemnifying  Party fails to give any notice  whatsoever
within the Dispute  Period,  then the  Indemnified  Party will have the right to
defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying  Party, the Third Party
Claim by all appropriate  proceedings,  which  proceedings will be prosecuted by
the  Indemnified  Party  in a  reasonable  manner  and in good  faith or will be
settled at the  discretion  of the  Indemnified  Party  (with the consent of the
Indemnifying  Party,  which  consent  will not be  unreasonably  withheld).  The
Indemnified  Party  will have full  control  of such  defense  and  proceedings,
including any  compromise  or settlement  thereof;  provided,  however,  that if
requested by the Indemnified  Party,  the  Indemnifying  Party will, at the sole
cost and expense of the Indemnifying  Party,  provide reasonable  cooperation to
the Indemnified  Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which
the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this clause 2, if the  Indemnifying  Party has  notified the  Indemnified  Party
within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying  Party disputes its liability or
the amount of its liability  hereunder to the Indemnified  Party with respect to
such  Third  Party  Claim  and if such  dispute  is  resolved  in  favor  of the
Indemnifying  Party in the manner provided in clause 3 below,  the  Indemnifying
Party will not be  required to bear the costs and  expenses  of the  Indemnified
Party's  defense  pursuant  to  this  clause  2 or of the  Indemnifying  Party's
participation  therein at the Indemnified  Party's request,  and the Indemnified
Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Indemnifying  Party in connection with such litigation.
The  Indemnifying  Party may  participate  in, but not  control,  any defense or
settlement  controlled by the  Indemnified  Party pursuant to this clause 2, and
the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such
participation.

     (d) If the Indemnifying  Party notifies the Indemnified  Party that it does
not dispute its  liability  or the amount of its  liability  to the  Indemnified
Party with  respect to the Third  Party  Claim  under  Section  12.2 or fails to
notify the Indemnified  Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying
Party  disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the  Indemnified
Party with respect to such Third Party Claim,  the Loss in the amount  specified
in the Claim Notice will be conclusively  deemed a liability of the Indemnifying
Party under Section 12.2 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such
Loss to the Indemnified  Party on demand.  If the Indemnifying  Party has timely
disputed  its  liability  or the amount of its  liability  with  respect to such
claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party and the indemnified  Party will proceed in good
faith to negotiate a resolution  of such  dispute,  and if not resolved  through
negotiations  within the  Resolution  Period,  such dispute shall be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 12.3.

     (e) In the event any  Indemnified  Party should have a claim under  Section
12.2 against the  Indemnifying  Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim,
the  Indemnified  Party  shall  deliver  a written  notification  of a claim for
indemnity  under Section 12.2 specifying the nature of and basis for such claim,
together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated
amount,  determined in good faith,  of such claim (an  "Indemnity  Notice") with
reasonable  promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified
Party  to give the  Indemnity  Notice  shall  not  impair  such  party's  rights
hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying  Party demonstrates that it
has been irreparably  prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified  Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim
described  in such  Indemnity  Notice or fails to notify the  Indemnified  Party
within the Dispute Period whether the  Indemnifying  Party disputes the claim or
the amount of the claim  described  in such  Indemnity  Notice,  the Loss in the
amount specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability
of the Indemnifying  Party under Section 12.2 and the  Indemnifying  Party shall
pay the  amount  of  such  Loss  to the  Indemnified  Party  on  demand.  If the
Indemnifying  Party has  timely  disputed  its  liability  or the  amount of its
liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute,  and
if not resolved through  negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute
shall be  resolved by  arbitration  in  accordance  with  paragraph  (c) of this
Section 12.3.

Ladies & Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to that certain  Private Equity Line of credit  Agreement
(the  "Agreement") by and among certain  Investors (the  "Investor") and Staruni
Corporation.  Pursuant and subject to the terms and  conditions set forth in the
Agreement  the Investor has agreed to purchase  from the Company and the Company
has  agreed to sell to the  Investor  from time to time  during  the term of the
Agreement shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value
(the  "Common  Stock")  and certain  warrants  (the  "Warrants")  which shall be
exercisable  into shares of Common  Stock.  The shares of Common Stock  issuable
upon  exercise of the Warrants  are referred to herein as "Warrant  Shares." The
Shares and Warrant  Shares are  collectively  referred to herein as  "Underlying
Shares."

     This letter shall serve as our irrevocable  authorization  and direction to
you  (provided  that you are the transfer  agent for the Company with respect to
its Common Stock at such time) to issue Underlying Shares from time to time upon
notice from the  Company to issue such  Underlying  Shares.  So long as you have
previously  received  (w) a notice of  effectiveness  of the  Company's  outside
counsel  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit I  attached  hereto  (which  the
Company  shall  direct be  delivered  to you by such  outside  counsel  upon the
effectiveness  of the  registration  statement  covering  resales of  Underlying
Shares)  stating that a registration  statement  covering  resales of Underlying
Shares has been declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and that Underlying Shares may be
issued (or  reissued  if they have been issued at a time when there was not such
an effective  registration  statement) or resold without any restrictive  legend
(the "Notice of Effectiveness"),  (x) a copy of such registration statement, (y)
an  appropriate  representation  that the  resale  prospectus  contained  in the
registration  statement has been delivered in compliance with  applicable  rules
and  regulations  and (z) with  respect to the issuance of  replacement  Warrant
Shares, the certificates  representing the originally issued Warrant Shares have
been  returned  to  you  as  transfer  agent,  then  certificates   representing
Underlying Shares shall not bear any legend  restricting  transfer of Underlying
Shares  thereby  and should not be  subject  to any  stop-transfer  restriction;
provided, however, that if you have not previously received a copy of the Notice
of  Effectiveness,  such registration  statement and such  representation or you
have  received  a  subsequent  notice  by  the  Company  or its  counsel  of the
suspension or termination of the effectiveness of the registration  statement or
the  imposition  of a  Blackout  Period as set forth in the  Section  6.8 of the
Agreement,  then  certificates  representing  Underlying  Shares  shall bear the
following legend:

RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT  REGISTRATION OF SUCH  SECURITIES  UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE  STATE SECURITIES LAWS

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

We are counsel to Staruni Corporation,  a  ___________________  corporation (the

Stock (the "Warrant Shares").  Pursuant to the Agreement,  the Company agreed to
register the Common Stock and the Warrant Shares.

In connection  with the  foregoing,  we have been advised that the  Registration

representation  pursuant to item (z) in the second paragraph of such instruction
letter,  you are authorized to issue certificates for the Company's Common Stock
without restrictive  legends. We have no knowledge as of the date hereof,  after
telephonic inquiry of a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff
that any stop order suspending the  effectiveness of the Registration  Statement
has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before,  or
threatened by, the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  and,  accordingly,  the
Underlying  Shares are available for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended  in  the  manner  specified  in,  and  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the

4. OFFERING OF THE SECURITIES ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY.

4.1 In offering the Securities for sale, the Agent shall offer them solely as an
agent for the  Company,  and such offer shall be made upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offering Documents.  The Agent shall commence
making  such  offer as an agent for the  Company as soon as  possible  following
delivery  of  the  final  Company  approved  offering  Documents  to  Agent  (or
notification  by  Company or its  Counsel  the  latest  version of any  Offering
Documents on Agent's computer system is acceptable for faxing to the Investor).

4.2 The Agent will only make offers to sell the Securities to, or solicit offers
to subscribe for any Securities from,  persons or entities that Agent reasonably
believes are "accredited investors" as defined Regulation D.

5. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

The Company hereby grants Agent rights of first refusal as follows:

5.1 The Agent has the night of first  refusal to act as placement  agent for any
future  private  financings  of the Company  under  which the Company  issues or
sells,  or agrees to issue or sell,  for cash (a) any debt or equity  securities
which are convertible into,  exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right
to receive  additional  shares of Common  Stock  either  (i) at any  conversion,
exercise or exchange  rate or other price that is based upon and/or  varies with
the  trading  prices of or  quotations  for  Common  Stock at any time after the
initial  issuance  of  such  debt  or  equity  security,  or  (ii)  with a fixed
conversion,  exercise or  exchange  price that is subject to being reset at some
future  date at any time  after  the  initial  issuance  of such  debt or equity
security or upon the  occurrence  of  specified  contingent  events  directly or
indirectly  related to the  business of the Company or the market for the Common
Stock, or (b) any securities of the Company pursuant to an equity line structure
or format  similar in nature to this  Offering  or  otherwise,  excluding  joint
ventures,  mergers,  acquisitions,  or similar transactions;  provided, however,
that the Agent has the right of first refusal to act as placement  agent for any
future private  financings  between the Company and the Investor pursuant to the
Equity Line Agreement,  whether equity securities,  convertible debt securities,
or securities or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for debt or equity
securities of the Company, excluding joint ventures, mergers,  acquisitions,  or
similar  transactions.  The duration of the Agent's right of first refusal under
this  Section 5.1 shall be for a period of two (2) years  following  the Initial
Put Closing Date.

5.2 In the event that the Company wishes to undertake a transaction described in
this  Section  5,  the  Company  must  send  Agent a  written  notice  generally
describing the proposed transaction (whether the transaction is initiated by the
Company  or  is  offered  to  the  Company  by a  third  party),  in  sufficient
specificity to allow the Agent to understand the proposed  transaction  clearly.
This notice, which may be delivered by facsimile or email transmission,  must be
delivered to Agent at least  twenty (20) days prior to the  proposed  closing of
the  transaction.  The Agent shall have  fifteen  (15) days from receipt of that
notice to  determine  whether  or not it wishes to  exercise  its right of first
refusal with respect to that transaction.  The Agent shall notify the Company in
writing of its  decision to exercise  or waive its right of first  refusal  with
respect to the  transaction  described  in the notice.  If the Agent  waives its
right of first refusal with respect to a particular transaction, the Company may
proceed with that transaction;  provided,  however, that if prior to any Closing
in the  proposed  transaction  the terms of the  transaction  are changed in any
material  way from the terms set forth in the notice to the Agent,  the  Agent's
right of first refusal shall commence again. Agent's waiver of its rights of its
rights of first refusal with respect to any specific  transaction  shall not act
as a waiver of its  rights  with  respect  to  future  transactions  within  the
applicable time period.

                                       66

shall be  entitled to receive  compensation  based upon the  aggregate  purchase
price of securities placed in such transaction in an amount calculated  pursuant
to Section 3.4  hereof,  excluding,  however,  all  amounts  designated  as Non-
Accountable Expense Allowances.

6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

The Company covenants and agrees with the Agent that:

6.1  After the date  hereof,  the  Company  will not at any  time,  prepare  and
distribute  any  amendment or  supplement  to the offering  Documents,  of which
amendment or supplement the Agent shall not previously have been advised and the
Agent and its  counsel  furnished  with a copy within a  reasonable  time period

reasonably  objected in writing on the ground that it is not in compliance  with
the Act or the Rules and Regulations (if applicable).

6.2 The Company will pay, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder
are  consummated or this  Agreement is prevented  from becoming  effective or is
terminated,   all  costs  and  expenses  incident  to  the  performance  of  its
obligations  under  this  Agreement,  including  all  expenses  incident  to the

Company's  counsel  (except  as  provided  below) and  accountants,  the cost of

for the direct payment of fees and costs incurred by Agent, including attorney's
fees of or any costs incurred by the Agent's counsel.

6.3 As a condition  precedent to the Initial Put Closing Date,  the Company will
deliver to the Agent a true and correct copy of all documents requested by Agent

Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and all amendments and certificates
of designation of preferences of preferred stock,  certified by the Secretary of

business and  operations of the company in  connection  with the offering of the
Securities.  The Company will make available to it in connection  therewith such
information in its possession as the Agent may reasonably request and -will make
available to the Agent such persons as the Agent shall deem reasonably necessary
and  appropriate  in order to verify or  substantiate  any such  information  so
supplied.

6.5 The Company shall be responsible for making any and all filings  required by
the Blue Sky authorities of the State of California and filings  required by the
laws of the  jurisdictions in which the Investor who is accepted for purchase of
Securities are located, if any.

7. NON-CIRCUMVENTION & CONFIDENTIALITY OF PROPRIETARY AGENT INFORMATION.

7.1  Non-Circumvention.  The investor(s) who participate in the Offering and the
other  investor(s)  who are listed on the schedule  attached hereto as Exhibit B
shall be considered,  for purposes of this Agreement, the property of Agent. The
Company  on behalf of  itself,  its  parent  or its  subsidiaries  (collectively
hereinafter  referred  to as  "Company")  agree not to  circumvent,  directly or
indirectly, Agent's relationship with these investor(s),  their parents or any

                                       67

<PAGE>

of the investor(s) subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively hereinafter referred
to as  "Investor")  and  Company  will not  directly  or  indirectly  contact or
negotiate with the Investor regarding an investment in the Company, or any other
company, and will not enter into any agreement or transaction with Investor,  or
disclose the names of Investor, except as such disclosure may be required by any
law, rule,  regulation,  regulatory body, court or administrative  agency, for a
period of time  beginning  on the date hereof and ending on the date that is two
(2) years after the Initial Put Closing Date without the prior written  approval
of Agent;  provided,  however, that notwithstanding the above, nothing contained
in this Agreement  shall prevent  Company from directly or  indirectly,  selling
securities  to the  Investor  through a public  offering  or from,  directly  or
indirectly,  contacting  or  negotiating  with the Investor in  satisfaction  of
Company's   obligations  under  the  Equity  Line  Agreements  entered  into  in
connection  herewith.  In the event that the Company,  with the Agent's  advance
written  permission  accepts an investment (a "Subsequent  Investment")  from an
Investor or Investors  (other than in a public  offering)  in a placement  being
arranged  without an agent or through an agent  other than the Agent  during the
period  beginning  on the  date  hereof  and  terminating  on the  second  (2nd)
anniversary  of the  Initial Put Closing  Date as  described  in the Equity Line
Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Agent a fee equal to six percent(6%)
of all  amounts  invested  by such  Investor(s).  In the event that the  Company
accepts a Subsequent  Investment without the Agent's advance written permission,
the Company  agrees to pay to the Agent a fee equal to eight percent (8%) of all
amounts invested by such Investor(s).

7.2 Specific  Performance  and  Attorney's  Fees. The Company  acknowledges  and
agrees that, if it breaches its obligations  under Sections 7.1,  damages at law
will be an insufficient  remedy to Agent and that Agent would suffer irreparable
damage as a result of such violation. Accordingly, it is agreed that Agent shall
be entitled,  upon application to a court of competent  jurisdiction,  to obtain
injunctive  relief against the breaching party to enforce the provisions of such
sections,  which  injunctive  relief shall be in addition to any other rights or
remedies  available to Agent.  The Company agrees to pay to Agent (severally and
not  jointly)  all  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by  Agent  relating  to  the
enforcement of the terms of Sections 7.1 hereof due to its own actions,  whether
by  injunction,  a suit for  damages  or  both,  including  reasonable  fees and
disbursements of counsel (both at trial and in appellate proceedings).

8. INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each person who
controls  the Agent  within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act and the Agent's
employees, accountants, attorneys and agents (the "Agent's Indemnitees") against
any and all losses, claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which
they or any of them may become subject under the Act or the 134 Act or any other
statute  or at  common  law and for  any  reasonable  legal  or  other  expenses
(including the costs of any investigation  and preparation)  incurred by them in
connection with any litigation,  whether or not resulting in any liability,  but
only insofar as such losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities and litigation arise
out of or are based upon (i) the Company's  breach of its obligations  under the
Equity  Line  Agreement  to deliver  shares of Common  Stock to a Investor  upon
submission  by  Investor  of the  required  documentation,  or (ii)  any  untrue
statement of material fact contained in the Offering  Documents or any amendment
or supplement thereto or any application or other document filed in any state or
jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under the Blue Sky or securities
laws  thereof,  or the omission to state  therein a material fact required to be
stated  therein  or  necessary  to  make  the  statements  therein,   under  the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,  all as of the date of
the  Offering  Documents  or of such  amendment as the case may be, or (iii) any
breach of any  representation,  warranty or covenant made by the Company in this
Agreement,  provided,  however,  that the indemnity  agreement contained in this
Section  8.1  shall  not  apply  to  amounts  paid  in  settlement  of any  such
litigation, if such settlements are made without the consent of the Company (but
no such  settlement  may be made without the Company's  prior  written  consent,
which consent  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  nor shall it apply to the
Agent's Indemnitees in respect to any such losses, claims,  damages or

                                       68

<PAGE>

liabilities  arising out of or based upon any such untrue  statement  or alleged
untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission,  if such statement or
omission  was made in  reliance  upon  information  furnished  in writing to the
Company by the Agent  specifically for use in connection with the preparation of
the  Offering  Documents  or any such  amendment  or  supplement  thereto or any
application  or other document  filed in any state or  jurisdiction  in order to
qualify  the  Securities  under the Blue Sky or  securities  law  thereof.  This
indemnify  agreement is in addition to any other liability which the Company may
otherwise have to the Agent's Indemnitees. The Agent's Indemnitees agree, within
ten (10) days after the receipt by them of written notice of the commencement of
any action  against  them in respect to which  indemnify  may be sought from the
Company  under  this  Section  8.1,  to notify  the  Company  in  writing of the
commencement of such action; provided,  however, that the failure of the Agent's
Indemnitees  to notify the  Company of any such  action  shall not  relieve  the
Company  from any  liability  which it may have to the  Agent's  Indemnitees  on
account of the indemnity  agreement  contained in this Section 8.1,  except with
respect to any failure  which  irreparably  prejudices  the Company or causes an
event of adjudication  materially adverse to the Company.  The Company shall not
be  relieved  from  any  other  liability  which  it may  have  to  the  Agent's
Indemnitees,  and if the  Agent's  Indemnitees  shall  notify the Company of the
commencement  thereof,  the Company shall be entitled to participate in (and, to
the extent that the Company  shall wish,  to direct) the defense  thereof at its
own  expense,  but such  defense  shall be  conducted  by counsel of  recognized
standing and reasonably  satisfactory to the Agent's  Indemnitees,  defendant or
defendants,  in such  litigation.  The  Company  agrees  to notify  the  Agent's
Indemnitees  promptly  of the  commencement  of any  litigation  or  proceedings
against the Company or any of the  Company's  officers or directors of which the
Company  may be  advised  in  connection  with the  issue and sale of any of the
Securities and to furnish to the Agent's Indemnitees,  at their request,  copies
of all pleadings  therein and to permit the Agent's  Indemnitees to be observers
therein and apprize the Agent's Indemnitees of all developments  therein, all at
the Company's expense.

8.2 With the exception provided below as to indemnity,  the Agent agrees, in the
same manner and as set forth in Section 8.1 above, to indemnify and Company, and
the Company's and Company's  directors,  employees,  accountants,  attorneys and
agents (the  "Company's  Indemnitees")  with respect to (i) any  statement in or
omission from the Offering  Documents or any amendment or supplement  thereto or
any  application  or  other  document  filed  by the  Company  in any  state  or
jurisdiction in order for the Company to qualify,  the Securities under the Blue
Sky or securities laws thereof, or any information furnished pursuant to Section
2.4 hereof,  if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information
furnished in writing to the Company by the Agent in a document executed by Agent
on its behalf specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof or
supplement  thereto, or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact made by the
Agent or its  agents  not  based on  statements  in the  Offering  Documents  or
authorized  in  writing  by the  Company,  or  with  respect  to any  misleading
statement  made by the  Agent  or its  agents  resulting  from the  omission  of
material  facts  which  misleading  statement  is not  based  upon the  Offering
Documents,  and any documents filed with public or  governmental  authorities or
agencies,  and any public press releases or information  furnished in writing by
the Company  or,  (iii) any breach of any  representation,  warranty or covenant
made by the Agent in this  Agreement.  The Agent shall not be liable for amounts
paid in  settlement  of any such  litigation  if such  settlement  was  effected
without its  consent.  In case of the  commencement  of any action in respect of
which indemnity may be sought from the Agent,  the Company's  Indemnitees  shall
have the same  obligation  to have  notice as set forth in  Section  8.1  above,
subject to the same loss of indemnity in the event such notice is not given, and
the Agent shall have the same night to  participate  in (and, to the extent that
it shall wish,  to direct) the  defense of such action at its own  expense,  but
such defense  shall be conducted by counsel of  recognized  standing  reasonably
satisfactory  to  the  Company.   The  Agent  agrees  to  notify  the  Company's
Indemnitees,  at their request,  and to provide copies of all pleadings  therein
and to permit the  Company's  Indemnitees  to be observers  therein and appraise
them of all the developments therein, all at the Agent's expense. As to Damages,
Company  recognizes  that since it is  receiving  the net proceeds of the monies
generated by this placement, that indemnity, if any, to be paid by the Placement
Agent to the Company  shall be strictly  limited to the  Placement  Agent's Cash
Fee,   inclusive  of  attorney  fees  and  costs  of  arbitration  and/or  court
proceedings.

                                       69

<PAGE>

9.  LIQUIDATION  DAMAGES.  Company and Agent both  acknowledge  that it would be
extremely  impractical  and  difficult  to  ascertain  the actual  damages to be
suffered by Company if Agent is found by an  arbitrator  or a court of competent
jurisdiction  to  have  breached  any of  the  representations,  warranties  and
covenants  contained  in Section  13 of this  Agreement.  Accordingly,  should a
breach of the representations of Section 13 be proven and Agent found liable for
said breach, Company and Agent hereby agree that the damages shall be limited to
an amount equal to the Cash  Placement Fee received by Agent pursuant to Section
3.4 of this  Agreement  plus the return to the  Company of the Agent  Securities
received by Agent  pursuant to Section 3.4 of this  Agreement (or, to the extent
that the Agent Securities have already been sold by Agent, the value, as defined
below,  of the Agent  Securities),  inclusive of all attorney's fees and cost of
court. For purposes hereof,  the value of the Agent Common Stock shall be deemed
to equal the lesser of (i) the  aggregate  Share Price of any Agent Common Stock
issued to Agent or (ii) the market  value of such Agent Common Stock on the date
that such shares were sold by Agent,  and in either  case,  the Agent may return
such Agent Common  Stock to the Company in lieu of any payment,  as to the value
of such Agent  securities,  for damages  pursuant to this section.  For purposes
hereof,  the value of each Warrant  issued to Agent which has been  exercised by
Agent  shall be the  difference  of (i) the  market  value of the  Common  Stock
received  upon such  exercise  on the date that such  shares were sold by Agent,
minus (ii) the  Exercise  Price of such  Warrant.  This  provision  is not to be
construed as a penalty, but as full liquidated damages under Georgia law.

10.  EFFECTIVENESS  OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall become  effective (i) at
9:00 A.M., Atlanta, Georgia time, on the date hereof or (ii) upon release by the
Agent of the  Securities for offering  after the date hereof,  whichever  occurs
first. The Agent agrees to notify the Company  immediately after the Agent shall
have taken any action by such release or otherwise  wherein this Agreement shall
have become effective.

11.  CONDITIONS OF THE AGENT'S  OBLIGATIONS.  The Agent's  obligations to act as
agent of the Company  hereunder and to find purchasers for the Securities  shall
be subject to the accuracy,  as of the Closing Date, of the  representations and
warranties on the part of the Company herein contained, to the fulfillment of or
compliance by the Company with all covenants and conditions  hereof,  and to the
following additional conditions:

11.1  Counsel to the Agent shall not have  objected in writing or shall not have
failed to give his consent to the Offering Documents (which objection or failure
to give consent shall not have been done unreasonably).

11.2 The  Agent  shall  not have  disclosed  to the  Company  that the  Offering
Documents,  or any amendment thereof or supplement  thereto,  contains an untrue
statement of fact,  which,  in the opinion of counsel to the Agent, is material,
or omits to state a fact which, in the opinion of such counsel,  is material and
is  required  to be  stated  therein,  or is  necessary  to make the  statements
therein, under the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

11.3 Between the date hereof and the Closing  Date,  the Company  shall not have
sustained any loss on account of fire, explosion,  flood, accident,  calamity or
any other  cause of such  character  as would  materially  adversely  affect its
business or property considered as an entire entity, whether or not such loss is
covered by insurance.

                                       70

<PAGE>

11.4  Except as set forth in the  Offering  Documents  , during the time  period
between the date hereof and the  Initial  Put  Closing  Date,  there shall be no
litigation  instituted or threatened against the Company,  and there shall be no
proceeding instituted or threatened against the Company before or by any federal
or  state  commission,   regulatory  body  or  administrative  agency  or  other
governmental body, domestic or foreign,  wherein an unfavorable ruling, decision
or finding would materially adversely effect the business, franchises,  license,
permits,  operations or financial  condition or income of the Company considered
as an entity.

11.5 Except as  contemplated  herein or as set forth in the Offering  Documents,
during the period subsequent to the most recent financial  statements  contained
in the Offering  Documents,  if any, and prior to the Initial Put Closing  Date,
the Company (i) shall have  conducted  its business in all material  respects in
the usual and  ordinary  manner  as the same is being  conducted  as of the date
hereof and (ii) except in the ordinary course of business, the Company shall not
have incurred any liabilities or obligations  (direct or contingent) or disposed
of any  assets,  or  entered  into  any  material  transaction  or  suffered  or
experienced  any  substantially  adverse change in its  condition,  financial or
otherwise.  At the Closing  Date,  the equity  account of the  Company  shall be
substantially  the same as reflected in the most recent balance sheet  contained
in the Offering  Documents  except for reductions  for matters  discussed in the
Equity Line Agreements and without considering the proceeds from the sale of the
Securities other than as may be set forth in the Offering Documents.

11.6 The  authorization of the Securities by the Company and all proceedings and
other  legal  matters  hereto  and  to  this   Agreement   shall  be  reasonably
satisfactory  in all  material  respects  matters to the Agent or counsel to the
Agent,  who  shall  have  furnished  the  Agent on the  Closing  Date  with such
favorable  opinion with respect to the sufficiency of all corporate  proceedings
and other legal matters  relating to this  Agreement as the Agent may reasonably
require,  and the Company shall have furnished such counsel such documents as he
may have  requested  to enable him to pass upon the matters  referred to in this
subparagraph.

11.7 The Company shall have  furnished to the Investor,  with a true and correct
copy to the  Agent,  the  opinion,  dated the  Closing  Date,  addressed  to the
Investor,  from counsel to the Company, as required by the Equity Line Agreement
in substantially the form attached to the Equity Line Agreement as an exhibit.

11.8 The Company shall have  furnished to the Agent a due diligence  certificate
signed by the Chief  Executive  Officer and the Chief  Financial  officer of the
Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that:

     (i)  the  representations  and  warranties of the Company in this Agreement
          are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing
          Date (other than  representations  and warranties which by their terms
          are  specifically  limited to a date other than the Closing Date), and
          the Company has complied with all the agreements and has satisfied all
          the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to
          the Closing Date; and

     (ii) the Company has  carefully  examined the Offering  Documents,  and any
          amendments and supplements thereto, and, to the best of its knowledge,
          all statements contained in the offering Documents, and any amendments
          and  supplements  thereto,  are  true and  correct,  and  neither  the
          Offering Documents, nor any amendment or supplement thereto,  includes
          any untrue  statement of a material  fact or omits to state a material
          fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein  under  the   circumstances   in  which  they  were  made  not
          misleading,  and since the date  hereof,  there has  occurred no event
          required  to be set  forth  in an  amended  or  supplemented  offering
          Documents, which has not been set forth; except as set forth in the

                                       71

          for which the information is given in the offering Documents and prior
          to the date of such  certificate,  (a) there has not been any material
          adverse change,  financial and otherwise,  in the affairs of condition
          of the Company, and (b) except as disclosed in the Offering Documents,
          the Company  has not  incurred  any  material  liabilities,  direct or
          contingent or entered into any material  transactions,  otherwise than
          in the ordinary course of business; and

     (iii)the Company has provided  true and correct  copies of all documents in
          its  possession or which it could obtain that were  requested by Agent
          pursuant to any due diligence inquiry.
