                               ADVISORY AGREEMENT

      This Advisory Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of
December 1, 2005, by and between Directed Electronics, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company") and Trivest Partners, L.P., a Florida limited
partnership (the "Advisor").

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Advisor and the Advisor desires
to perform for the Company certain services following the consummation of the
Company's initial public offering of its common stock pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "IPO").

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Term. This Agreement shall be in effect for an initial term commencing
on the consummation of the IPO and ending on the tenth anniversary thereof (the
"Term"), and shall be automatically extended thereafter on a year to year basis
unless the Company or the Advisor provides written notice of its desire to
terminate this Agreement to the other 90 days prior to the expiration of the
Term or any extension thereof; provided that (i) either the Company or the
Advisor may terminate this Agreement in the event of the breach of any of the
material terms or provisions of this Agreement by the other, which breach is not
cured within 10 business days after notice of the same is given to the party
alleged to be in breach, and (ii) the Term shall automatically expire, and no
further payment will be due hereunder, if Advisor and its affiliates, on a
combined basis, hold less than twenty percent (20%) of the Company's outstanding
voting capital stock. If this Agreement is terminated by the Advisor because of
the breach of any of the material terms or provisions hereof by the Company, the
Advisor shall be entitled to recover damages from the Company and shall not be
required to mitigate or reduce damages by seeking or undertaking other
management arrangements or business opportunities. No termination of this
Agreement, whether pursuant to this Section 1 or otherwise, shall affect the
Company's obligation with respect to the fees, costs and expenses incurred by
the Advisor in rendering services hereunder and not paid and reimbursed by the
Company as of the effective date of such termination.

      2. Services. The Advisor shall perform or cause to be performed the
following services for the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as related
services as may be reasonably requested by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board"):

            (a) identification, support, negotiation and analysis of
acquisitions and dispositions by the Company and its subsidiaries; and

            (b) support, negotiation and analysis of financing alternatives,
including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions, capital
expenditures and refinancing of existing indebtedness.

      3. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall promptly pay (or
reimburse) the Advisor for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Advisor and its officers, employees, agents and representatives in connection
with the services rendered hereunder (including, but not limited to, all costs
and expenses incurred by the Advisor in connection with attending Board
meetings). All obligations or expenses reasonably incurred by the Advisor
(including, but not limited to, legal, accounting and other advisors' fees and
expenses) in the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall be for the
account of, on behalf of, and at the expense of the Company. The Advisor shall
not be obligated to make any advance to or for the account of the Company or to
pay any sums, except out of funds held in accounts maintained by the Company,
nor shall the Advisor be obligated to incur any liability or obligation for the
account of the Company without assurance that the necessary funds for the
discharge of such liability or obligation will be provided. In the event the
Company utilizes the services of the Advisor's legal department, whether in
connection with the services to be rendered by the Advisor hereunder or
otherwise, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Advisor for the
reasonable fees and expenses of such legal department at prevailing rates.

      4. Transaction Fees.

            (a) During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Advisor a
transaction fee in connection with the consummation of each acquisition or
divestiture by the Company or its subsidiaries (excluding purchases or sales of
equipment or inventory in the ordinary course of business) that is introduced or
negotiated by the Advisor or any of its affiliates (the "M&A Compensation") plus
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Advisor and/or its affiliates
incurred in negotiating, analyzing, and executing such acquisition or
divestiture. The M&A Compensation and such out-of-pocket expenses shall be paid
at the closing of any such acquisition or divestiture. The M&A Compensation
shall be a cash sum equal to the following percentage of the purchase price for
the acquisition or disposition (which on acquisitions or divestitures of assets
shall also include the book value of the assumed liabilities, and on
acquisitions of stock shall also include liabilities of the acquired entity that
are required to be paid with funds provided by the purchaser in connection with
such acquisition).

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PURCHASE PRICE                                             PERCENTAGE
--------------                                             ----------
<S>                                                        <C>
$1 to and including $10,000,000                               3.0%
$10,000,000 to and including $50,000,000                      2.0%
over $50,000,000                                              1.0%
</TABLE>

By way of illustration, an acquisition or disposition with a purchase price of
$60,000,000 would generate M&A Compensation of $1,200,000 (3.00% of the first
$10,000,000, 2.0% of the next $40,000,000 and 1.0% of the remaining
$10,000,000). This Section 4(a) shall not apply to any transaction (a "Sale of
the Company") which is (x) the sale of all, or substantially all, of the
Company's consolidated assets in any single transaction or series of related
transactions; (y) the sale or issuance, or series of related sales or issuances,
of equity securities of the Company in any single transaction or series of
related transactions which results in any person or group of affiliated persons
(other than affiliates of the Advisor) owning (on a fully-diluted basis) more
than 50% of the Company's securities having ordinary voting power to elect
directors outstanding at the time of such sale or issuance or such series of
sales and/or issuances; or (z) any merger or consolidation of the Company with
or into another corporation (regardless of which entity is the surviving
corporation) if, after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, the
holders of the Company's securities having ordinary voting power to elect
directors (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to the merger or
consolidation own securities of the surviving or resulting corporation
representing 50% or less of the ordinary voting power to elect directors of the
surviving or resulting corporation (on a fully-diluted basis). The amount of any
fee payable to the Advisor in connection with a Sale of the Company shall be
determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(d) below.

            (b) In the event of any public or private debt or equity financing
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries negotiated by the Advisor, the Company
shall pay to the Advisor a transaction fee of 1.5% on the amount of financing
plus all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Advisor and/or its affiliates
incurred in negotiating, analyzing and executing such financing. Such fee and
out-of-pocket expenses shall be paid at the closing of any such financing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fee shall be payable pursuant to this Section
4(b) if the financing is related to a transaction for which Advisor receives M&A
Compensation.

            (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Advisor
acknowledges and agrees that the Company may from time to time engage the
services of financial advisors in addition to the Advisor in connection with
certain acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions if, in the
judgment of the Board, such engagement is in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders. In such event, the amount otherwise payable to the Advisor
pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) hereof may be reduced to an amount, to be
determined through good faith negotiations between the Board and the Advisor,
that reflects the Advisor's relative contribution to the applicable transaction.
If the Board and the Advisor are unable to agree upon the amount of the reduced
compensation, such compensation will be

                                       2
<PAGE>

determined by arbitration in Miami, Florida in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association. The Company and the Advisor will share equally
the cost of arbitration.

            (d) In the event of any other transaction not in the ordinary course
of business or unusual efforts extended or results obtained by the Advisor on
behalf or for the benefit of the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board and the
Advisor shall in good faith determine a fair compensation arrangement to
compensate the Advisor for such matters. Such compensation arrangement shall be
subject to the approval of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

            (e) If at any time when a payment of a fee is due under this
Agreement the Company (i) does not have sufficient available cash to make such
payment, or (ii) is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of
the Company's loan agreements or other financing arrangements, part or all of
such payment, as the case may be, shall be deferred. All deferred amounts shall
be immediately due and payable as soon as there is sufficient available cash or
the payment is no longer prohibited under the loan agreements, as the case may
be.

      5. Other Activities of the Advisor. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Advisor nor any of the Advisor's affiliates, partners,
employees or agents shall be required to devote full time and business efforts
to the duties of the Advisor specified in this Agreement, but instead the
Advisor shall devote only so much of such time and efforts as the Advisor
reasonably deems necessary. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that the
Advisor and its affiliates are engaged in the business of investing in,
acquiring and/or managing businesses for the Advisor's own account, for the
account of the Advisor's affiliates and associates and for the account of
unaffiliated parties, and understands that the Advisor plans to continue to be
engaged in such businesses (and other business or investment activities) during
the Term. No aspect or element of such activities shall be deemed to be engaged
in for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries nor to constitute a
conflict of interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Advisor shall be required to bring only those investments and/or business
opportunities to the attention of the Company which the Advisor, in its sole
discretion, believes appropriate, and nothing herein shall restrict the Advisor
from investing or directly or indirectly engaging in competitive businesses.

      6. Liability. Neither the Advisor nor any of the Advisor's affiliates,
partners, employees or agents shall be liable to the Company or its subsidiaries
or affiliates for any loss, liability, damage or expense arising out of or in
connection with the Advisor's performance of services contemplated by this
Agreement, unless such loss, liability, damage or expense shall be finally
judicially determined to result directly from gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Advisor, its affiliates, partners,
employees or agents acting within the scope of their employment or authority.
The Company recognizes and confirms that the Advisor will, from time to time in
acting pursuant to this engagement, be using information in reports and other
information provided by others, including, without limitation, information
provided by or on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries, and that the
Advisor does not assume responsibility for and may rely, without independent
verification, on the accuracy and completeness of any such reports and
information. The Company hereby warrants that any information relating to the
Company and its subsidiaries that is furnished to the Advisor by or on behalf of
the Company will be fair, accurate and complete and will not contain any
material omissions or misstatements of fact. The Company agrees that any
information or advice rendered by the Advisor or its representatives in
connection with this engagement is for the confidential use of the Board only,
and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company will not and will not
permit any third party to disclose or otherwise refer to such advice or
information in any manner without such Advisor's prior written consent.

      7. Indemnification of Advisor. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Advisor and its present and future officers, directors,
affiliates, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, losses and damages (or actions in respect thereof),
in any way related to or arising out of the performance by such Indemnified
Person of services under this Agreement, and to advance and reimburse each
Indemnified Person on a monthly basis for

                                       3
<PAGE>

reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by it in connection with or
relating to investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any actions, claims
or other proceeding (including any investigation or inquiry) arising in any
manner out of or in connection with such Indemnified Person's performance or
non-performance under this Agreement (whether or not such Indemnified Person is
a named party in such proceedings); provided, however, that the Company shall
not be responsible under this paragraph for any claims, liabilities, losses,
damages, or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined
to result from actions taken by such Indemnified Person that constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of Section 6 and this Section 7
shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

      8. Independent Contractor. The Advisor shall be an independent contractor,
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed (i) to
create a partnership or joint venture between the Company and the Advisor, (ii)
to cause the Advisor to be responsible in any way for the debts, liabilities or
obligations of the Company or any other party, or (iii) to constitute the
Advisor or any employees of the Advisor or any of its affiliates as employees,
officers or agents of the Company.

      9. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given when personally delivered, sent
by telecopy (with receipt confirmed) on a business day during regular business
hours of the recipient (or, if not, on the next succeeding business day) or one
business day after being sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges
prepaid).

      13. Entire Agreement; Modification; Governing Law. The terms and
conditions hereof constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all previous

Agreement nor waiver of the terms or conditions thereof shall be binding upon
either party unless approved in writing by an authorized representative of such
party. All issues concerning this Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to

of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

      14. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the

      15. Third Party Beneficiaries.

            (a) Except for the parties to this Agreement and their respective
successors and assigns, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is
intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give any person other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that the "Administrative
Agent", as such term is defined in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of
June 17, 2004 (the "Credit Agreement"), among DEI Sales, Inc., the "Lenders"
named therein, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent
for the Lenders, as the same may be amended, modified, restated or otherwise
supplemented from time to time, shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary
for purposes of Section 4(e) above.

            (b) The Advisor hereby agrees that the payment obligations of the
Company under this Agreement, and the right of the Advisor to receive payments
under this Agreement are subordinated to payment of all amounts owing or that
become owing under the Credit Agreement and that payments under this Agreement
may be made only as permitted in the Credit Agreement. Subordination of amounts
payable under this Agreement on the terms set forth herein shall be effective
(i) in any voluntary or involuntary insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
custodianship, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other
officer with similar powers or any other proceeding for the liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of any of the Company or any of its successors,
assigns or transferees and (ii) against any transferee or assignee of the
Advisor. The Advisor also agrees that if it receives any payment under this
Agreement that is not permitted by the Credit Agreement it will promptly turn
over such payment to the Administrative Agent, if amounts are outstanding under
the Credit Agreement.

      16. Delivery by Facsimile. This Agreement and each other agreement or
instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated
hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed
and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner
and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to
have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version
thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such
agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute
original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or
to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine
to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument
was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a
defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party
forever waives any such defense.

dated as of November 18, 2005 (the "Placement Agent Agreement"), between

of the Placement Agent Agreement (the "Closing Date").

3.

(a)

laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by general principles of equity.

(d)               
No Violations.  The
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not,
and will not, violate or conflict with any provision of the Company's certificate
of incorporation or by-laws and does not and will not, with or without the
passage of time or the giving of notice, result in the breach of, or constitute
a default, cause the acceleration of performance, or require any consent under
(except such consents as have been obtained as of the date hereof), or result
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets
of the Company pursuant to, any material instrument or agreement to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties are bound, except
such consents as have been obtained as of the date hereof.

representations and warranties of the Purchaser and all other purchasers of
shares of Common Stock in the offering contemplated by the Placement Agent
Agreement, will be issued in accordance with a valid exemption from the
registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and any applicable state securities laws
(the "State Acts")  A sufficient number of shares of Common Stock have
been reserved by the Company to accommodate the exercise of the Warrants in
full in accordance with their terms.  The Shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") have been duly
authorized, and upon issuance of the Warrant Shares upon proper exercise of the
Warrants, in accordance with the terms thereof, the Warrant Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

(f)         Exchange Act Filing.  During the 12 calendar months immediately preceding

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and the rules and regulations thereunder, have been timely filed after giving
effect to the extension provided by Exchange Act Rule 12b-25, if applicable.  Such
filings, together with all documents incorporated by reference therein, are
referred to as "Exchange Act Documents." Each Exchange Act Document, as
amended, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and no Exchange Act Document, as
amended, at the time each such document was filed, included any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

            (g)        Company Financial Statements.  The
audited financial statements, together with the related notes of the Company,
at December 31, 2004, and for the year then ended, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and the
unaudited financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2005 and for the
nine months then ended (collectively, the "Company Financial Statements")
included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, respectively, fairly present in all material respects, on
the basis stated therein and on the date thereof, the financial position of the
Company at the respective dates therein specified and its results of operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended (provided that the unaudited
financial statements are subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and lack
footnotes and other presentation items).  Such statements and related notes
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis except as
expressly noted therein.

            (h)        No Material
Liabilities.   Except for liabilities or obligations not
individually in excess of $100,000, or liabilities or obligations as set forth
in the Exchange Act Documents, since December 31, 2004, the Company has not
incurred any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, except
in the ordinary course of business and except for liabilities or obligations
reflected or reserved against on the Company's balance sheet as of December 31,
2004, and there has not been any change, or to the knowledge of the Company,
development or effect (individually or in the aggregate) that is or is
reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the condition (financial or
otherwise), business, prospects, or results of operations of the Company and
the Subsidiaries considered as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect") or
any change in the capital or material increase in the long-term debt of the
Company or any Subsidiary, nor has the Company declared, paid, or made any
dividend or distribution of any kind on its capital stock.

            (i)         No
Disputes Against Company.  There is no material pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened (i) action, suit, claim, proceeding, or
investigation against the Company, at law or in equity, or before or by any federal,
state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, (ii) arbitration proceeding
against the Company, (iii) governmental inquiry against the Company, or (iv)
any action or suit by or on behalf of the Company pending or threatened against
others.

 

3

                        (j)         Approvals. 
(i) The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the
offer and sale of the Units require no consent of, action by or in respect of,
or filing with, any person, governmental body, agency, or official other than
those consents that have been obtained and filings that have been or will be made
pursuant to the Securities Act and any State Act, which the Company undertakes
to file within the applicable time period.

                       (k)        Compliance. 
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation
of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any
Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a
claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement, or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such
default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any
court, arbitrator, or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of
any statute, rule, or regulation of any governmental authority, including
without limitation all foreign, federal, state, and local laws relating to
taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product
quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, except where such noncompliance could not
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                        (l)         Patents and Trademarks.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, and other
similar rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the Exchange Act Documents and the Confidential
Private Placement Memorandum dated November 18, 2005 (the "PPM") and
which the failure to so have could, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively,
the "Intellectual Property Rights").  Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights
used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of
any person that could, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  To the knowledge of the
Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no
existing infringement by another person of any of the Intellectual Property
Rights, except where such infringement could not have or reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                        (m)       Transactions With Affiliates and
Employees.  Except as set forth in
the Exchange Act Documents, none of the officers or directors of the Company
and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any material transaction with the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers, and directors),
including any contract, agreement, or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director, or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee, or partner.

4

                        (n)        Internal Accounting Controls.  The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences.  The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries,
is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which the Company's Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as
the case may be, is being prepared.  The Company's certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the
end of most recently ended fiscal quarter for which a report on Form 10-QSB has
been filed (such date, the "Evaluation Date").  The Company presented in
its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the
Evaluation Date, except for ongoing changes relating to integration of the
business acquired from Florida Environmental Remediation Services, Inc., there have
been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is
defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the
Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company's internal controls.

                        (o)        Solvency.  Based on the financial condition of the Company as
of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i)
the Company's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be
required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's existing debts and other
liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the
Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected
capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current
cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive,
were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Company
does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or
in respect of its debt).

                        (p)        Certain Fees.  Except as may be due to the Placement Agent from
the Company, no brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or will be
payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder,
placement agent, investment banker, bank, or other person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Purchaser shall have no
obligation with respect to any Placement Agent fees or with respect to any
claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by a Purchaser pursuant to
written agreements executed by the Purchaser which fees or commissions shall be
the sole responsibility of such Purchaser) made by or on behalf of other persons
for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  

5

                        (q)        Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser's
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no registration under
the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Units by the
Company to the Purchaser hereunder.

                        (r)        Listing and Maintenance Requirements.  Except as specified in the Exchange Act Documents,
the Company has not, in the two years preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any stock exchange or automated dealer quotation system to the
effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements thereof.  The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it
will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing
and maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the American
Stock Exchange.

                        (s)        Investment Company.  The Company is not, and is not an "affiliate" of,
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.

                        (t)         No Additional Agreements.  The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement on terms that differ
from those set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

                        (u)        Disclosure.  The Company confirms that neither it nor any person
acting on its behalf has provided the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with
any information that the Company believes would constitute material, non-public
information following the announcement of the Closing and the transactions
contemplated thereby.  The parties mutually agree not to disclose the existence
and terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until the Company
files a current report on Form 8-K as provided in Section 9.  The Company
understands and confirms that the Purchaser will rely on the foregoing
representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. 
All disclosure provided to the Purchaser regarding the Company, its business
and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the
Company (including the disclosure in the PPM and the Company's representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct in all
material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

4.                  
Representations and Warranties
of the Purchaser.  In order to induce
the Company to enter into this Agreement, the Purchaser represents and warrants
to the Company the following:

(a)   
      Authority.  If
a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, or
other form of entity, the Purchaser is duly organized or formed, as the case
may be, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization or formation, as the case may be. The Purchaser
has all requisite individual or entity right, power, and authority to execute,
deliver, and perform this Agreement.

 

6

(b)         Enforceability. The
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser have
been duly authorized by all requisite partnership or corporate action, as the
case may be.   This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser,
and, upon its execution by the Company, shall constitute the legal, valid, and
binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except to the extent that its enforceability is limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity.

(c)         No Violations.  The execution, delivery, and performance of
this Agreement by the Purchaser do not and will not, with or without the
passage of time or the giving of notice, result in the breach of, or constitute
a default, cause the acceleration of performance, or require any consent under,
or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property
or assets of the Purchaser pursuant to, any material instrument or agreement to
which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or its properties may
be bound or affected, and, do not or will not violate or conflict with any
provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws, partnership agreement,
operating agreement, trust agreement, or similar organizational or governing
document of the Purchaser, as applicable.  

(d)         Knowledge of Investment and its
Risks.  The Purchaser has knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of Purchaser's investment in the Units.  The Purchaser
understands that an investment in the Company represents a high degree of risk
and there is no assurance that the Company's business or operations will be
successful.  The Purchaser has considered carefully the risks attendant to an
investment in the Company, and that, as a consequence of such risks, the Purchaser
could lose Purchaser's entire investment in the Company.

(e)          Own Account, Non-distribution,
etc.  The Purchaser hereby represents
and warrants that (i) the Units are being acquired for the Purchaser's own
account, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of all or any part of the Units, and the Purchaser has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
any of the Units within the meaning of the Securities Act, (ii) the Units are
being acquired in the ordinary course of the Purchaser's business, and (iii)
the Purchaser does not have any contracts, understandings, agreements, or
arrangements, directly or indirectly, with any person and/or entity to
distribute, sell, transfer, or grant participations to such person and/or
entity with respect to, any of the Units.  The Purchaser is not purchasing the Units
as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Units published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or
broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.

(f)           Purchaser Status.  The Purchaser is an "Accredited Purchaser"
as that term is defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act and the information provided by the Purchaser in the Investor
Questionnaire, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is
truthful, accurate, and complete.  The Purchaser is not registered as a
broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

7

(g)          Disclosure.  The Purchaser has reviewed information provided by
the Company in connection with the decision to purchase the Units, consisting
of the Company's publicly available filings with the SEC and the information
contained therein.  The Company has provided the Purchaser with all the
information that the Purchaser has requested in connection with the decision to
purchase the Units.  The Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser has
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the business, properties, prospects, and financial condition of the
Company. All such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.
Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of
the Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend, or affect
the Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the
disclosure materials and the Company's representations and warranties contained
herein.

(h)           No Registration.  The Purchaser understands that Purchaser may
be required to bear the economic risk of Purchaser's investment in the Company
for an indefinite period of time.  The Purchaser further understands that
(i) neither the offering nor the sale of the Units or the Securities has
been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable State Acts in
reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of such laws,
(ii) the Units and the Securities must be held by he, she or it
indefinitely unless the sale or transfer thereof is subsequently registered
under the Securities Act and any applicable State Acts, or an exemption from
such registration requirements is available, (iii) except as set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the
Company is under no obligation to register any of the Units on the Purchaser's
behalf or to assist the Purchaser in complying with any exemption from
registration, and (iv) the Company will rely upon the representations and
warranties made by the Purchaser in this Subscription Agreement in order to
establish such exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and any applicable State Acts.  

(i)            Transfer Restrictions.  The Purchaser will not transfer any of the Units
unless such transfer is registered or exempt from registration under the
Securities Act and such State Acts, and, if requested by the Company in the
case of an exempt transaction, the Purchaser has furnished an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such transfer is so
exempt.  The Purchaser understands and agrees that (i) the certificates evidencing
the Units will bear appropriate legends indicating such transfer restrictions
placed upon the Units, (ii) the Company shall have no obligation to honor
transfers of any of the Units in violation of such transfer restrictions, and
(iii) the Company shall be entitled to instruct any transfer agent or agents
for the securities of the Company to refuse to honor such transfers.

(j)           Principal Address.  The Purchaser's principal residence, if an
individual, or principal executive office, if an entity, is set forth on the
signature page of this Subscription Agreement.

5.                  
Independent Nature
of Purchaser's Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, and any other documents delivered in connection
herewith and therewith (collectively, the "Transaction Documents") are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other purchaser of Units, and
the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other purchaser of Units under any Transaction Document. 
The decision of the Purchaser to purchase Units pursuant to the Transaction
Documents has been made by the Purchaser independently of any other purchaser
of Units.  Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no
action taken by any purchaser of Units pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute such purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture,
or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the purchasers of Units
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations
or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document.  The Purchaser
acknowledges that no other purchaser of Units has acted as agent for the Purchaser
in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other purchaser
of Units will be acting as agent of the Purchaser in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Units or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents.  The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other purchaser of Units to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose.

6.                  
Prospectus Delivery Requirement.  The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not
to make any sale of the Units or the Securities without complying with the
provisions hereof and of the Registration Rights Agreement, and without
effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities
Act to be satisfied (unless the Purchaser is selling such Units or Securities in
a transaction not subject to the prospectus delivery requirement). 

7.                  
Stockholder Approval.  The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser
that the vote of the Company's Stockholders will not be required to approve the
issuance of the Units.   

8.                  
Indemnification of Purchaser.  In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its
directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees and
agents (each, a "Purchaser Party") harmless from any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses,
including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs, and
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation (collectively, "Losses")
that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to
any misrepresentation, breach, or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty,
covenant, or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Document; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable for the fees and costs of
more than one separate counsel for the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement
and under and as defined in other subscription agreements executed in
connection with the offering contemplated by the Placement Agent Agreement.  

9.                  
Form 8-K/Non-Public Information.  No
later than the trading day following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a
Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and attaching copies of the related agreements,
and disclosing any and all material non-public information that has been
communicated to the Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition, the Company
shall make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by
the SEC in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.  Subsequent to the Closing, the Company covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide Purchaser
or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes
constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto Purchaser
shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use
of such information. The Company understands and confirms that Purchaser shall
be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.

10.               
Further Assurances.  The parties hereto will, upon reasonable request,
execute and deliver all such further assignments, endorsements and other
documents as may be necessary in order to perfect the purchase by the Purchaser
of the Units.

11.               
Entire Agreement; No Oral
Modification.  This Agreement
contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
with respect thereto and may not be amended or modified except in a writing
signed by both of the parties hereto.

12.               
Binding Effect; Benefits.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and
assigns; however, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended
to confer on any other person other than the parties hereto, or their
respective heirs, successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.               
Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

14.               
Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America, both substantive and remedial. Any judicial proceeding brought
against either of the parties to this agreement or any dispute arising out of
this Agreement or any matter related hereto shall be brought in the courts of

agreement, each party to this Agreement accepts the jurisdiction of such courts. 

15.               
Prevailing Parties.  In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any
provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted
as a defense, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive and the
nonprevailing party shall pay upon demand reasonable attorneys' fees in
addition to any other remedy.
