               Section 2.2.2 shall have been satisfied as of

<PAGE>   10

               such Closing; and the Company shall deliver an Officer's
               Certificate, signed by an officer of the Company, to such effect
               to the Investor.

              2.3 Puts of Common Shares to the Investor.

                   2.3.1 Procedure to Exercise a Put. Subject to the Individual
Put Limit, the Maximum Offering Amount and the Cap Amount (if applicable), and
the other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, at any time
beginning on the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC (the "Effective Date"), the Company may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, elect to exercise one or more Puts according to the following
procedure, provided that each subsequent Put Date after the first Put Date shall
be no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the preceding Pricing Period
End Date:

                        (a) Delivery of Advance Put Notice.At least ten (10)
Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any intended
Put Date (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Investor), the Company shall
deliver advance written notice (the "Advance Put Notice," the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit E, the date of such Advance Put Notice being the
"Advance Put Notice Date") to Investor stating the Put Date for which the
Company shall, subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein,
exercise a Put and stating the number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the
Individual Put Limit and the Maximum Put Dollar Amount) which the Company
intends to sell to the Investor for the Put (the "Intended Put Share Amount").

         The Company may, at its option, also designate in any Advance Put
Notice (i) a maximum dollar amount of Common Stock, not to exceed $2,000,000,
which it shall sell to Investor during the Put (the "Company Designated Maximum
Put Dollar Amount") and/or (ii) a minimum purchase price per Put Share at which
the Investor may purchase Shares pursuant to such Put Notice (a "Company
Designated Minimum Put Share Price"). The Company Designated Minimum Put Share
Price, if applicable, shall be no greater than 80% of the Closing Bid Price of
the Company's common stock on the Advance Put Notice Date. The Company may
decrease (but not increase) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for a
Put at any time by giving the Investor written notice of such decrease not later
than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Business Day that such decrease is to take effect. A decrease in the Company
Designated Minimum Put Share Price shall have no retroactive effect on the
determination of Trigger Prices and Excluded Days for days preceding the
Business Day that such decrease takes effect.

         Notwithstanding the above, if, at the time of delivery of an Advance
Put Notice, more than two (2) Calendar Months have passed since the date of the
previous Put Closing, such Advance Put Notice shall provide at least twenty (20)
Business Days notice of the intended Put Date, unless waived in writing by the
Investor. In order to effect delivery of the Advance Put Notice, the Company
shall (i) send the Advance Put Notice by facsimile on such date so that such
notice is received by the Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii)
surrender such notice on such date to a courier for overnight delivery to the
Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the case of an Investor residing outside of
the U.S.). Upon receipt by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Advance Put
Notice, the Investor shall, within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a
confirmation of receipt (the "Advance Put Notice Confirmation," the form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit F) of the Advance Put Notice to the Company
specifying that the Advance Put Notice has been received and affirming the
intended Put Date and the Intended Put Share Amount.

                        (b) Put Share Amount. The "Put Share Amount" is the
number of shares of Common Stock that the Investor shall be obligated to
purchase in a given Put, and shall

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

equal the lesser of (i) the Intended Put Share Amount, and (ii) the Individual
Put Limit. The "Individual Put Limit" shall equal the lesser of (i) 15% of the
sum of the aggregate daily reported Trading Volumes in the outstanding Common
Stock on the Company's Principal Market, excluding any block trades of 20,000 or
more shares of Common Stock, for all Evaluation Days (as defined below) in the
Pricing Period, (ii) the number of Put Shares which, when multiplied by their
respective Put Share Prices, equals the Maximum Put Dollar Amount, and (iii) the
9.9% Limitation, but in no event shall the Individual Put Limit exceed 15% of
the sum of the aggregate daily reported Trading Volumes in the outstanding
Common Stock on the Company's Principal Market, excluding any block trades of
20,000 or more shares of Common Stock, for the twenty (20) Business Days
immediately preceding the Put Date (this limitation, together with the
limitation in (i) immediately above, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Volume Limitations"). Company agrees not to trade Common Stock or arrange for
Common Stock to be traded for the purpose of artificially increasing the Volume
Limitations.

         For purposes of this Agreement:

              "Trigger Price" for any Pricing Period shall mean the greater of
(i) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, plus $.25, or (ii) the
Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price divided by .91.

              An "Excluded Day" shall mean each Business Day during a Pricing
Period where the lowest intra-day trading price of the Common Stock is less than
the Trigger Price.

              An "Evaluation Day" shall mean each Business Day during a Pricing
Period that is not an Excluded Day.

                        (c) Put Share Price. The purchase price for the Put
Shares (the "Put Share Price") shall equal the lesser of (i) the Market Price
for such Put, minus $.25, or (ii) 91% of the Market Price for such Put, but
shall in no event be less than the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price
for such Put, if applicable.

                        (d) Delivery of Put Notice. After delivery of an Advance
Put Notice, on the Put Date specified in the Advance Put Notice the Company
shall deliver written notice (the "Put Notice," the form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit G) to Investor stating (i) the Put Date, (ii) the Intended Put
Share Amount as specified in the Advance Put Notice (such exercise a "Put"),
(iii) the Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount (if applicable), and (iv)
the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price (if applicable). In order to
effect delivery of the Put Notice, the Company shall (i) send the Put Notice by
facsimile on the Put Date so that such notice is received by the Investor by
6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii) surrender such notice on the Put Date to
a courier for overnight delivery to the Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the
case of an Investor residing outside of the U.S.). Upon receipt by the Investor
of a facsimile copy of the Put Notice, the Investor shall, within two (2)
Business Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt (the "Put Notice
Confirmation," the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H) of the Put
Notice to Company specifying that the Put Notice has been received and affirming
the Put Date and the Intended Put Share Amount.

                        (e) Delivery of Required Put Documents. On or before the
Put Date for such Put, the Company shall deliver the Required Put Documents (as
defined in Section 2.3.5 below) to the Investor (or to an agent of Investor, if
Investor so directs). Unless otherwise specified by the Investor, the Put Shares
of Common Stock shall be transmitted electronically pursuant to such electronic
delivery system as the Investor shall request; otherwise delivery shall

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

be by physical certificates. If the Company has not delivered all of the
Required Put Documents to the Investor on or before the Put Date, the Put shall
be automatically cancelled, unless the Investor agrees to delay the Put Date by
up to three (3) Business Days, in which case the Pricing Period begins on the
Business Day following such new Put Date. If the Company has not delivered all
of the Required Put Documents to the Investor on or before the Put Date (or new
Put Date, if applicable), and the Investor has not agreed in writing to delay
the Put Date, the Put is automatically canceled (an "Impermissible Put
Cancellation") and, unless the Put was otherwise canceled in accordance with the
terms of Section 2.3.11, the Company shall pay the Investor $5,000 for its
reasonable due diligence expenses incurred in preparation for the canceled Put
and the Company may deliver an Advance Put Notice for the subsequent Put no
sooner than ten (10) Business Days after the date that such Put was canceled,
unless otherwise agreed by the Investor.

                        (f) Limitation on Investor's Obligation to Purchase
Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event
shall the Investor be required to purchase, and an Intended Put Share Amount may
not include, an amount of Put Shares, which when added to the number of Put
Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement during the 31 days
preceding the Put Date with respect to which this determination of the permitted
Intended Put Share Amount is being made, would exceed 9.99% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, to the extent that
inclusion of unissued shares is mandated by Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act)
on the Put Date for such Pricing Period, as determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the "Section 13(d) Outstanding Share
Amount"). Each Put Notice shall include a representation of the Company as to
the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount on the related Put Date. In the event
that the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount is different on any date during
a Pricing Period than on the Put Date associated with such Pricing Period, then
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date during such
Pricing Period shall govern for purposes of determining whether the Investor,
when aggregating all purchases of Shares made pursuant to this Agreement in the
31 calendar days preceding such date, would have acquired more than 9.99% of the
Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount. The limitation set forth in this Section
2.3.1(f) is referred to as the "9.9% Limitation."

                   2.3.2 Termination of Right to Put. The Company's right to
require the Investor to purchase any subsequent Put Shares shall terminate
permanently (each, an "Automatic Termination") upon the occurrence of any of the
following:

                        (a) the Company shall not exercise a Put or any Put
thereafter if, at any time, either the Company or any director or executive
officer of the Company has engaged in a transaction or conduct related to the
Company that has resulted in (i) a Securities and Exchange Commission
enforcement action, or (ii) a civil judgment or criminal conviction for fraud or
misrepresentation, or for any other offense that, if prosecuted criminally,
would constitute a felony under applicable law;

                        (b) the Company shall not exercise a Put or any Put
thereafter, on any date after a cumulative time period or series of time
periods, including both Ineffective Periods and Delisting Events, that lasts for
an aggregate of four (4) months;

                        (c) the Company shall not exercise a Put or any Put
thereafter if at any time the Company has filed for and/or is subject to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of
debtors instituted by or against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company;

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                        (d) the Company shall not exercise a Put after the
sooner of (i) the date that is three (3) years after the Effective Date, or (ii)
the Put Closing Date on which the aggregate of the Put Dollar Amounts for all
Puts equal the Maximum Offering Amount; and

                        (e) the Company shall not exercise a Put after the
Company has breached any covenant in Section 2.6, Section 6, or Section 9
hereof.

                        (f) if no Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the date that is one (1) year after the date of this Agreement, the
Automatic Termination shall occur on the date that is one (1) year after the
date of this Agreement.

                   2.3.3 Put Limitations. The Company's right to exercise a Put
shall be limited as follows:

                        (a) notwithstanding the amount of any Put, the Investor
shall not be obligated to purchase any additional Put Shares once the aggregate
Put Dollar Amount paid by Investor equals the Maximum Offering Amount;

                        (b) the Investor shall not be obligated to acquire and
pay for the Put Shares with respect to any Put for which the Company has
announced a subdivision or combination, including a reverse split, of its Common
Stock or has subdivided or combined its Common Stock during the Extended Put
Period;

                        (c) the Investor shall not be obligated to acquire and

Stock during the Extended Put Period;

                        (d) the Investor shall not be obligated to acquire and

                        (e) the Investor shall not be obligated to acquire and
pay for the Put Shares with respect to any Put for which a Major Transaction has

                   2.3.4 Conditions Precedent to the Right of the Company to
Deliver an Advance Put Notice or a Put Notice and the Obligation of the Investor
to Purchase Put Shares. The right of the Company to deliver an Advance Put

                    Company shall have satisfied and shall be in compliance with
                    any and all obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the

                   2.3.6 Accountant's Letter and Registration Opinion.

                        (a) The Company shall have caused to be delivered to the
Investor, (i) whenever required by Section 2.3.6(b) or by Section 2.5.3, and
(ii) on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to each Put Date (the
"Registration Opinion Deadline"), an opinion of the Company's independent
counsel, in substantially the form of Exhibit R (the "Registration Opinion"),
addressed to the Investor stating, inter alia, that no facts ("Material Facts")
have come to such counsel's attention that have caused it to believe that the
Registration Statement is subject to an Ineffective Period or to believe that
the Registration Statement, any Supplemental Registration Statement (as each may
be amended, if applicable), and any related prospectuses, contain an untrue
statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to make the
statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. If a Registration Opinion cannot be delivered by the
Company's independent counsel to the Investor on the Registration Opinion
Deadline due to the existence of Material Facts or an Ineffective Period, the
Company shall promptly notify the Investor and as promptly as possible amend
each of the Registration Statement and any Supplemental Registration Statements,
as applicable, and any related prospectus or cause such Ineffective Period to
terminate, as the case may be, and deliver such Registration Opinion and updated
prospectus as soon as possible thereafter. If at any time after a Put Notice
shall have been delivered to Investor but before the related Pricing Period End
Date, the Company acquires knowledge of such Material Facts or any Ineffective
Period occurs, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor and shall deliver
a Put Cancellation Notice to the Investor pursuant to Section 2.3.11 by
facsimile and overnight courier by the end of that Business Day.

                        (b) (i) the Company shall engage its independent
auditors to perform the procedures in accordance with the provisions of
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71, as amended, as agreed to by the parties
hereto, and reports thereon (the "Bring Down Cold Comfort Letters") as shall
have been reasonably requested by the Investor with respect to certain financial
information contained in the Registration Statement and shall have delivered to
the Investor such a report addressed to the Investor, on the date that is three
(3) Business Days prior to each Put Date.

                             (ii) in the event that the Investor shall have
requested delivery of an Agreed Upon Procedures Report pursuant to Section
2.5.3, the Company shall engage its independent auditors to perform certain
agreed upon procedures and report thereon as shall have been reasonably
requested by the Investor with respect to certain financial information of the
Company and the Company shall deliver to the Investor a copy of such report
addressed to the Investor. In the event that the report required by this Section
2.3.6(b) cannot be delivered by the Company's independent auditors, the Company
shall, if necessary, promptly revise the Registration Statement and the Company
shall not deliver a Put Notice until such report is delivered.

                   2.3.7 Investor's Obligation and Right to Purchase Shares.
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, following the Investor's
receipt of a validly delivered Put Notice, the Investor shall be required to
purchase (each a "Purchase") from the Company a number of Put Shares equal to
the Put Share Amount, in the manner described below.

                   2.3.8 Mechanics of Put Closing. Each of the Company and the
Investor shall deliver all documents, instruments and writings required to be
delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to each
Closing. Subject to such delivery and the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, the closing of the purchase by the Investor
of Shares shall occur by 5:00 PM, New York City Time, on the date which is five
(5) Business Days following the applicable Pricing Period End Date (the "Payment
Due Date") at the offices of Investor. On each or before each Payment Due Date,
the Investor shall deliver to the Company, in the manner specified in Section 8
below, the Put Dollar Amount to be paid for

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

such Put Shares, determined as aforesaid. The closing (each a "Put Closing") for
each Put shall occur on the date that both (i) the Company has delivered to the
Investor all Required Put Documents, and (ii) the Investor has delivered to the
Company such Put Dollar Amount and any Late Payment Amount, if applicable (each
a "Put Closing Date"). If requested by the Company, prior to the Payment Due
Date the Investor will provide the Company with calculations regarding the Put
Share Price and the Put Share Amount, and the Company will check and verify any
such calculations promptly after receipt.

If the Investor does not deliver to the Company the Put Dollar Amount for such
Put Closing within five (5) Business Days of the Payment Due Date, then (i) the
Company, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may require the Investor
to pay to the Company, in addition to the Put Dollar Amount, an amount (the
"Late Payment Amount") at a rate of $500 per calendar day for each day that
passes after the day in question until the Put Dollar Amount is paid, up to a
maximum of $20,000; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of
interest that shall become due and payable hereunder exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law, and (ii) the Investor shall not be entitled to
exercise the Commitment Warrant or any Purchase Warrant until such payment is
made. If the Investor does not deliver to the Company the Put Dollar Amount for
such Put Closing within twenty Business Days of the Payment Due Date, then the
Company, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may terminate this
Agreement without the payment of any Termination Fee, and may cancel the
unexercised portion of the Commitment Warrants and any Purchase Warrants,
provided that the Company shall first give the Investor five (5) Business Days
advance written notice that the remedies in this sentence will be imposed if
payment is not made within five (5) Business Days, which notice may be given
anytime beginning twenty (20) Business Days after the Payment Due Date.

                   2.3.9 Limitation on Short Sales. The Investor and its
Affiliates shall not engage in short sales of the Company's Common Stock;
provided, however, that the Investor may enter into any short exempt sale or any
short sale or other hedging or similar arrangement it deems appropriate with
respect to Put Shares after it receives a Put Notice with respect to such Put
Shares so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number
of such Put Shares specified in the Put Notice.

                   2.3.10 Cap Amount. If the Company becomes listed on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, then, unless the Company
has obtained Stockholder 20% Approval as set forth in Section 6.11 or unless
otherwise permitted by Nasdaq, in no event shall the Aggregate Issued Shares
exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (the "Cap Amount") that the
Company can, without stockholder approval, so issue pursuant to Nasdaq Rule
4460(i)(1)(d)(ii) (or any other applicable Nasdaq Rules or any successor rule)
(the "Nasdaq 20% Rule").

                   2.3.11 Put Cancellation.

                        (a) Mechanics of Put Cancellation. If at any time during
a Pricing Period the Company discovers the existence of Material Facts or any
Ineffective Period or Delisting Event occurs, the Company shall cancel the Put
(a "Put Cancellation"), by delivering written notice to the Investor (the "Put
Cancellation Notice"), attached as Exhibit Q, by facsimile and overnight
courier. The "Put Cancellation Date" shall be the date that the Put Cancellation
Notice is first received by the Investor, if such notice is received by the
Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and shall be the following date, if
such notice is received by the Investor after 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time.

                        (b) Effect of Put Cancellation. Anytime a Put
Cancellation Notice is delivered to Investor after the Put Date, the Put, shall
remain effective with respect to a

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

number of Put Shares (the "Truncated Put Share Amount") equal to the Individual
Put Limit for the Truncated Pricing Period.

                        (c) Put Cancellation Notice Confirmation. Upon receipt
by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Put Cancellation Notice, the Investor
shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt (the "Put
Cancellation Notice Confirmation," a form of which is attached as Exhibit S) of
the Put Cancellation Notice to the Company specifying that the Put Cancellation
Notice has been received and affirming the Put Cancellation Date.

                        (d) Truncated Pricing Period. If a Put Cancellation
Notice has been delivered to the Investor after the Put Date, the Pricing Period
for such Put shall end at on the close of trading on the last full trading day
on the Principal Market that ends prior to the moment of initial delivery of the
Put Cancellation Notice (a "Truncated Pricing Period") to the Investor.

                   2.3.12 Investment Agreement Cancellation. The Company may
terminate (a "Company Termination") its right to initiate future Puts by
providing written notice ("Termination Notice") to the Investor, by facsimile
and overnight courier, at any time other than during an Extended Put Period,
provided that such termination shall have no effect on the parties' other rights
and obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Warrants. Notwithstanding the above, any cancellation occurring during an
Extended Put Period is governed by Section 2.3.11.

                   2.3.13 Return of Excess Common Shares. In the event that the
number of Shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to its obligations hereunder
is less than the Intended Put Share Amount, the Investor shall promptly return
to the Company any shares of Common Stock in the Investor's possession that are
not being purchased by the Investor.

              2.4 Warrants.

                   2.4.1 Commitment Warrants. In consideration hereof, following
the execution of the Letter of Agreement dated on or about December 12, 1999
between the Company and the Investor, the Company issued and delivered to
Investor or its designated assignees, warrants (the "Commitment Warrants") in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit U, or such other form as agreed upon by the
parties, to purchase 495,000 shares of Common Stock. The Warrant Shares shall be
registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Investment Commitment Opinion of Counsel shall cover the issuance of the
Commitment Warrant and the issuance of the common stock upon exercise of the
Commitment Warrant.

     Notwithstanding any Termination or Automatic Termination of this Agreement,
regardless of whether or not the Registration Statement is or is not filed, and
regardless of whether or not the Registration Statement is approved or denied by
the SEC, the Investor shall retain full ownership of the Commitment Warrant as
consideration for its commitment hereunder.

                   2.4.2 Purchase Warrants. Within five (5) Business Days of the
end of each Pricing Period, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor
a warrant ("Purchase Warrant"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, or
such other form as agreed upon by the parties, to purchase a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to 10% of the Put Share Amount for that Put. Each Purchase
Warrant shall be exercisable at a price (the "Purchase Warrant Exercise Price")
which shall initially equal 110% of the Market Price for the applicable Put, and
shall have semi-annual reset provisions. Each Purchase Warrant shall be
immediately exercisable at the Purchase Warrant Exercise Price, and shall have a
term beginning on the date

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

of issuance and ending on the date that is five (5) years thereafter. The
Warrant Shares shall be registered for resale pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement.

              2.5 Due Diligence Review. The Company shall make available for
inspection and review by the Investor (the "Due Diligence Review"), advisors to
and representatives of the Investor (who may or may not be affiliated with the
Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), any underwriter
participating in any disposition of Common Stock on behalf of the Investor
pursuant to the Registration Statement, any Supplemental Registration Statement,
or amendments or supplements thereto or any blue sky, NASD or other filing, all
financial and other records, all SEC Documents and other filings with the SEC,
and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be
reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all such information reasonably
requested by the Investor or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in
connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in
response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by
any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness
of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investor and
such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants
and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the
Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement.

                   2.5.1 Treatment of Nonpublic Information. The Company shall
not disclose nonpublic information to the Investor or to its advisors or
representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company
identifies such information as being nonpublic information and provides the
Investor and such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or
refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company may, as a
condition to disclosing any nonpublic information hereunder, require the
Investor and its advisors and representatives to enter into a confidentiality
agreement (including an agreement with such advisors and representatives
prohibiting them from trading in Common Stock during such period of time as they
are in possession of nonpublic information) in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company and the Investor.

     Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose nonpublic information
to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents
that it does not disseminate nonpublic 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 hereinabove 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
nonpublic information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by and 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 2.5 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
nonpublic information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Investor's advisors or representatives disclose to the Investor the nature of
the specific event or circumstances constituting any nonpublic information
discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due
diligence without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of
such information.

                   2.5.2 Disclosure of Misstatements and Omissions. The
Investor's advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the
Investor's counsel of all events or

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

circumstances constituting nonpublic information discovered by such advisors or
representatives in the course of their due diligence upon which such advisors or
representatives form the opinion 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 the light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading. Upon receipt of such disclosure, the Investor's counsel shall
consult with the Company's independent counsel in order to address the concern
raised as to the existence of a material misstatement or omission and to discuss
appropriate disclosure with respect thereto; provided, however, that such
consultation shall not constitute the advice of the Company's independent
counsel to the Investor as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement and
related Prospectus.

                   2.5.3 Procedure if Material Facts are Reasonably Believed to
be Untrue or are Omitted. In the event after such consultation the Investor or
the Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration Statement
contains an untrue statement or 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,

                        (a) the Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to
the Registration Statement responsive to such alleged untrue statement or
omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with copies of
the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, as so amended, or

                        (b) if the Company disputes the existence of any such
material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent counsel shall
provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion and (ii) in the event
the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial disclosure and the Investor
shall reasonably request, the Company's independent auditors shall provide to
the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon Procedures Report") outlining the performance
of such "agreed upon procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the
Investor and the Company shall provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.

              2.6 Commitment Payments.

     On the last Business Day of each six (6) Calendar Month period following
the Effective Date (each such period a "Commitment Evaluation Period"), if the
Company has not Put at least $1,000,000 in aggregate Put Dollar Amount during
that Commitment Evaluation Period, the Company, in consideration of Investor's
commitment costs, including, but not limited to, due diligence expenses, shall
pay to the Investor an amount (the "Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee ") equal to the
difference of (i) $100,000, minus (ii) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of
the Put Shares put to Investor during that Commitment Evaluation Period. In the
event that the Company delivers a Termination Notice to the Investor or an
Automatic Termination occurs, the Company shall pay to the Investor (the
"Termination Fee") the greater of (i) the Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee for the
applicable Commitment Evaluation Period, or (ii) the difference of (x) $200,000,
minus (y) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put to
Investor during all Puts to date, and the Company shall not be required to pay
the Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee thereafter.

     Each Semi Annual Non-Usage Fee or Termination Fee is payable, in cash,
within five (5) business days of the date it accrued. The Company shall not be
required to deliver any payments to Investor under this subsection until
Investor has paid all Put Dollar Amounts that are then due.

     3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Investor. Investor hereby
represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company as follows:

                                       19

accuracy and completeness of the information received.

                   3.2.2 Reliance on Own Advisors. Investor has relied
completely on the advice of, or has consulted with, Investor's own personal tax,
investment, legal or other advisors and has not relied on the Company or any of
its affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants or any affiliates of
any thereof and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing,
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act for any tax or legal advice (other
than reliance on information in the Disclosure Documents as defined in Section
3.2.4 below and on the Opinion of Counsel). The foregoing, however, does not
limit or modify Investor's right to rely upon covenants, representations and
warranties of the Company in this Agreement.

                   3.2.3 Capability to Evaluate. Investor has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters so as to enable such Investor to

independent investigation made by Investor and Investor's representatives, if
any; (c) Investor has, prior to the date of this Agreement, been given an

directors; and (d) is not relying on any oral representation of the Company or
any other person, nor any written representation or assurance from the Company
other than those contained in the Disclosure Documents or incorporated herein or
therein. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify Investor's right to
rely upon covenants, representations and warranties of the Company in Sections 5
and 6 of this Agreement. Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company has
no responsibility for, does not ratify, and is under no responsibility
whatsoever to comment upon or

correct any reports, analyses or other comments made about the Company by any
third parties, including, but not limited to, analysts' research reports or
comments (collectively, "Third Party Reports"), and Investor has not relied upon
any Third Party Reports in making the decision to invest.

                   3.2.5 Investment Experience; Fend for Self. Investor has
substantial experience in investing in securities and it has made investments in
securities other than those of the Company. Investor acknowledges that Investor
is able to fend for Investor's self in the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, that Investor has the ability to bear the economic risk of Investor's
investment pursuant to this Agreement and that Investor is an "Accredited
Investor" by virtue of the fact that Investor meets the investor qualification
standards set forth in Section 3.1 above. Investor has not been organized for
the purpose of investing in securities of the Company, although such investment
is consistent with Investor's purposes.

              3.3 Exempt Offering Under Regulation D.

                   3.3.1 No General Solicitation. The Investment Agreement was
not offered to Investor through, and Investor is not aware of, any form of
general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, (i)
any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and
(ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general
solicitation or general advertising.

                   3.3.2 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the
Investment Agreement is, the Common Stock and Warrants issued at each Put
Closing will be, and the Warrant Shares will be, characterized as "restricted
securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being
acquired from the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the federal securities laws and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may not be transferred or resold without
registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In this
connection, Investor represents that Investor is familiar with Rule 144 under
the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed
thereby and by the Act.

                   3.3.3 Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, Investor agrees that until the Securities are
sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or an exemption from
registration, they will remain in the name of Investor and will not be
transferred to or assigned to any broker, dealer or depositary. Investor further
agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, or pledge the Securities (except for any
bona fide pledge arrangement to the extent that such pledge does not require
registration under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available and provided further that if such pledge is realized upon, any
transfer to the pledgee shall comply with the requirements set forth herein), or
to otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

                        (a) There is then in effect a registration statement
under the Act and any applicable state securities laws covering such proposed
disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration
statement and in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements; or

                        (b) (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition to the extent relevant
for determination of the availability of an exemption from registration, and
(ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably

                                       21
<PAGE>   22

satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration
of the Securities under the Act or state securities laws. It is agreed that the
Company will not require the Investor to provide opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 provided that Investor and Investor's
broker, if necessary, provide the Company with the necessary representations for
counsel to the Company to issue an opinion with respect to such transaction.

              The Investor is entering into this Agreement for its own account
and the Investor has no present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) at
any time to sell the Common Stock to or through any person or entity; provided,
however, that by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree
to hold the Common Stock for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the
right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time in accordance with federal and
state securities laws applicable to such disposition.

              3.4 Due Authorization.

representations, warranties, agreements and understandings set forth above are
true with respect to all partners of Investor (and if any such partner is itself
a partnership, all persons holding an interest in such partnership, directly or

the representations and warranties made hereby.

                   3.4.4 Representatives. If Investor is purchasing in a
representative or fiduciary capacity, the representations and warranties shall

<PAGE>   23

applicable state securities laws by reason of exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Act and such laws, and may not be sold, pledged (except for
any limited pledge in connection with a margin account of Investor to the extent
that such pledge does not require registration under the Act or unless an
exemption from such registration is available and provided further that if such
pledge is realized upon, any transfer to the pledgee shall comply with the
requirements set forth herein), assigned or otherwise disposed of in the absence
of an effective registration of the Securities and any component thereof under
the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available;

              4.4 Restrictions on Transfer. Investor may not attempt to sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the
Securities or any component thereof in the absence of either an effective
registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Act and applicable state securities laws;

              4.5 No Assurances of Registration. There can be no assurance that
any registration statement will become effective at the scheduled time, or ever,

period of time;

              4.6 Exempt Transaction. Investor understands that the Securities
are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of federal and state law and that the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings set forth herein are

exemptions and the suitability of Investor to acquire such Securities.

              4.7 Legends. The certificates representing the Put Shares shall
not bear a Restrictive Legend. The certificates representing the Warrant Shares

Registration Statement is not effective for resale, subject to legend removal
under the terms of Section 6.8 below, shall bear the following legend (the
"Legend"):

          "The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities
          laws, nor the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. They may not
          be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration
          statement under those securities laws or pursuant to an exemption
          therefrom."

         5. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to Investor (which shall be
true in all material respects at the signing of this Agreement, and as of any
such later date as contemplated hereunder) and agrees with Investor that, except
as set forth in the "Schedule of Exceptions" attached hereto as Exhibit C.

              5.1 Organization, Good Standing, and Qualification. The Company is
a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Nevada, USA and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company is not the subject of any pending,
threatened or, to its knowledge, contemplated investigation or administrative or
legal proceeding (a "Proceeding") by the Internal Revenue Service, the taxing
authorities of any state or local jurisdiction, or the Securities and Exchange
Commission, The National Association of Securities Dealer, Inc., The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc. or any state securities commission, or any other governmental
entity, which

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

have not been disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. None of the disclosed
Proceedings, if any, will have a material adverse effect upon the Company or the
market for the Common Stock. The Company has the following subsidiaries:
NextAntennas.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Emergent Technologies Corp., a
West Virginia corporation, and Integral Vision Systems, Inc., a West Virginia
corporation.

              5.2 Corporate Condition. The Company's condition is, in all
material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents (as further set
forth in any subsequently filed Disclosure Documents, if applicable), except for
changes in the ordinary course of business and normal year-end adjustments that
are not, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Company. Except for
continuing losses, there have been no material adverse changes to the Company's
business, financial condition, or prospects since the dates of such Disclosure
Documents. The financial statements as contained in the 10-SB and 10-QSB have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied (except as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-X of the
Exchange Act), subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements,
to customary year end adjustments and the absence of certain footnotes, and
fairly present the financial condition of the Company as of the dates of the
balance sheets included therein and the consolidated results of its operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended. Without limiting the foregoing,
there are no material liabilities, contingent or actual, that are not disclosed
in the Disclosure Documents (other than liabilities incurred by the Company in
the ordinary course of its business, consistent with its past practice, after
the period covered by the Disclosure Documents). The Company has paid all
material taxes that are due, except for taxes that it reasonably disputes. There
is no material claim, litigation, or administrative proceeding pending or, to
the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened against the Company, except as
disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. This Agreement and the Disclosure
Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or herein necessary to
make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made. No event or circumstance exists
relating to the Company which, under applicable law, requires public disclosure
but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

              5.3 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company
by its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of
the Company hereunder and the authorization, issuance and delivery of the Common
Stock being sold hereunder and the issuance (and/or the reservation for
issuance) of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have been taken, and this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute valid and legally
binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except insofar as the enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. The
Company has obtained all consents and approvals required for it to execute,
deliver and perform each agreement referenced in the previous sentence.

              5.4 Valid Issuance of Common Stock. The Common Stock and the
Warrants, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof,
for the consideration expressed herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations of Investor in this
Agreement, will be issued in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and

this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, (b) violate the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or (c) violate any statute, rule or
governmental regulation applicable to the Company which violation would have a

Offering and thereafter, to make such reports available, for the full term of
this Agreement, including any extensions thereof, and for as long as Investor

now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,

Company or any of its subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the
foregoing matters. No Key Employee has, to the best knowledge of the Company and
its subsidiaries, any intention to terminate his employment with, or services
to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and as set aside on its books provision reasonably
adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to

                   6.5.2 Investor's Right of First Refusal. For any private

the above, the Rights of First Refusal shall not apply to any transaction
involving issuances of securities in connection with a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or sale of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership
or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital),
or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or

directors, or a primary underwritten offering of the Company's Common Stock, or

legal counsel, in the form attached as Exhibit B, or in such form as agreed upon
by the parties, and shall, concurrent with each Put Date, receive an opinion
letter from the Company's legal counsel, in the form attached as Exhibit I or in
such form as agreed upon by the parties.

              6.8 Removal of Legend. If the certificates representing any
Securities are issued with a restrictive Legend in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the
Legend, if (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Act, or (b)
such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (the
reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Investor), to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under
the Act, or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that
such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Each Investor agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend,
pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in
connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Act.

              6.9 Listing. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.9, the
Company shall ensure that its shares of Common Stock (including all Warrant
Shares and Put Shares) continue to be listed and available for trading on the
O.T.C. Bulletin Board. Thereafter, the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the O.T.C. Bulletin
Board or to become eligible for and listed and available for trading on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the NMS, or the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"); and
(ii) comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and
other obligations under the By-Laws or rules of the National Association of

              6.10 The Company's Instructions to Transfer Agent. The Company
will instruct the Transfer Agent of the Common Stock, by delivering instructions
in the form of Exhibit T hereto, to issue certificates, registered in the name
of each Investor or its legally permitted nominee, for the Put Shares and
Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company
upon any exercise by the Company of a Put and/or exercise of the Warrants by the
holder thereof. Such certificates shall not bear a Legend unless issuance with a
Legend is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and Legend removal is not
permitted by Section 6.8 hereof and the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent
to issue such certificates without a Legend. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way Investor's obligations and agreement set forth in Sections
3.3.2 or 3.3.3 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective
registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale
or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of
applicable securities laws. If (a) an Investor provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the
effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) an Investor transfers
Securities, pursuant to Rule 144, to a transferee which is an accredited
investor, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of Put Shares
and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by
such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 6.10 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6.10, that an
Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

              6.11 Stockholder 20% Approval. Prior to the closing of any Put
that would cause the Aggregate Issued Shares to exceed the Cap Amount, if
required by the rules of NASDAQ because the Company's Common Stock is listed on
NASDAQ, the Company shall obtain approval of its stockholders to authorize (i)
the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable pursuant to this Agreement but for the Cap Amount and eliminate any
prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock
exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization
with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities with respect to the
Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Cap Amount
(such approvals being the "Stockholder 20% Approval").

              6.12 Press Release. The Company agrees that the Investor shall
have the right to review and comment upon any press release issued by the
Company in connection with the Offering which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld by Investor.

              6.13 Change in Law or Policy. In the event of a change in law, or
policy of the SEC, as evidenced by a No-Action letter or other written
statements of the SEC or the NASD which causes the Investor to be unable to
perform its obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall be automatically
terminated and no Termination Fee shall be due, provided that notwithstanding
any termination under this section 6.13, the Investor shall retain full
ownership of the Commitment Warrant as consideration for its commitment and its
consulting, legal and other services rendered hereunder.

         7. Investor Covenant/Miscellaneous.

              7.1 Representations and Warranties Survive the Closing;
Severability. Investor's and the Company's representations and warranties shall
survive the Investment Date and any Put Closing contemplated by this Agreement
notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the
party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, or is altered by a term required by the Securities
Exchange Commission to be included in the Registration Statement, this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that if
the removal of such provision materially changes the economic benefit of this
Agreement to the Investor, this Agreement shall terminate.

<PAGE>   33

               (a)  Wire transfer of Subscription Funds. Investor shall deliver
                    Put Dollar Amounts (as payment towards any Put Share Price)
                    by wire transfer, to the Company pursuant to a wire
                    instruction letter to be provided by the Company, and signed
                    by the Company.

               (b)  Irrevocable Subscription. Investor hereby acknowledges and
                    agrees, subject to the provisions of any applicable laws
                    providing for the refund of subscription amounts submitted
                    by Investor, that this Agreement is irrevocable and that
                    Investor is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this
                    Agreement or any other agreements executed by such Investor
                    and delivered pursuant hereto, and that this Agreement and
                    such other agreements shall survive the death or disability
                    of such Investor and shall be binding upon and inure to the
                    benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors,
                    administrators, successors, legal representatives and
                    assigns. If the Securities subscribed for are to be owned by

                    agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments
                    herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be
                    binding upon each such person and his heirs, executors,
                    administrators, successors, legal representatives and

              8.2 Acceptance of Subscription. Ownership of the number of
securities purchased hereby will pass to Investor upon the Warrant Closing or
any Put Closing.

         9. Indemnification.

         In consideration of the Investor's execution and delivery of the
Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants (the
"Transaction Documents") and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition
to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the
Company (in such case, the "Indemnitor") shall defend, protect, indemnify and
hold harmless Investor and all of its stockholders, officers, directors,
employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's
agents, members, partners or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) (collectively, in such case, the "Indemnitees" or the
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and
expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is
a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and
including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or
relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim,
derivative or otherwise, by any stockholder of the Company based on a breach or
alleged breach by the Company or any of its officers or directors of their
fiduciary or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company, or (d) claims
made by third parties against any of the Indemnitees based on a violation of
Section 5 of the Securities Act caused by the integration of the private sale of
common stock to the Investor and the public offering pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

         To the extent permitted by law, the Investor (in such case, the
"Indemnitor") will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the officers and
directors of the Company

                                       33
<PAGE>   34

(collectively, in such case, the "Indemnitees" or the "Indemnified Parties"),
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements
or omissions: any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact that is provided, in writing to the Company and is contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, and which statement
in writing is the proximate cause of an action or proceeding filed against the
Company, and the Investor will reimburse the Company, officer or director for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

         To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company (or the
Investor, as applicable) may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company (or
the Investor, as applicable) shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it would be
required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is
permissible under applicable law.

         Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
other party (hereinafter "Indemnitor") under this Section 9, deliver to the
Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall
have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably
incurred fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interest between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the
Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, but
the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this
Section 9 to the extent it is prejudicial.

Warrant to Purchase
495,000 shares

                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
                                       OF
                           INTEGRAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

THIS CERTIFIES that Swartz Private Equity, LLC or any subsequent holder hereof
pursuant to Section 8 hereof ("Holder"), has the right to purchase from INTEGRAL
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), up to 495,000 fully
paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value per
share ("Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price
equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time beginning
on the Date of Issuance (defined below) and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New
York time the date that is five (5) years after the Date of Issuance (the
"Exercise Period").

     Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
of the Company (this "Warrant") is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held
subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

     1. Date of Issuance and Term.

This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on December 13, 1999 ("Date of
Issuance"). The term of this Warrant is five (5) years from the Date of
Issuance.

     Of this Warrant to purchase four hundred ninety five thousand (495,000)
shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Warrant is exercisable as to one
hundred sixty-five thousand (165,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company
after the ten (10) business day document review period, as the same may be
extended by mutual consent of the Company and the Holder (the "Review Period")
referenced in the Equity Line Letter of Agreement dated on or about December 13,
1999, between Holder and Company (the "Letter of Agreement") has ended, shall be
further exercisable as to the an additional one hundred sixty-five thousand
(165,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the execution of all
Closing Documents (as defined in the Letter of Agreement) and shall be further
exercisable as to the remaining one hundred sixty-five thousand (165,000) shares
of Common Stock of the Company upon the sooner of (i) the date that is six (6)
months from December 13, 1999 or (ii) the date of the effectiveness of Company's
registration statement (the "Registration Statement") to be filed pursuant to
the Closing Documents.

<PAGE>   2

Anything in this Warrant to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company
delivers written notice to Swartz Private Equity, LLC prior to the expiration of
the Review Period that the legal documents for the transaction are unacceptable
and the Company wishes to terminate the transaction, Holder shall return this
Warrant to the Company and all of Holder's rights under this Warrant shall be
null and void and of no effect.

     2. Exercise.

     (a) Manner of Exercise. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby (the "Warrant Shares") upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise
Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Form") duly completed and
executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below) for each
share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised, at the office of
the Company, Attention: William S. Robinson, Chairman and CEO, Integral
Technologies, Inc., 1070 West Pender Street, Suite 3, Vancouver, BC V6E 2N7;
Telephone: (604) 685-9933, Facsimile: (604) 685-6794, or at such other office or
agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an
advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company and its Transfer Agent by
facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called
the "Exercise of this Warrant").

     (b) Date of Exercise. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be
defined as the date that the advance copy of the completed and executed Exercise
Form is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant and
Exercise Form are received by the Company as soon as practicable thereafter.
Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original
Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice
by facsimile.

     (c) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.

     (d) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

     3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price.

The Exercise Price per share ("Exercise Price") shall initially equal $1.306
(the "Initial Exercise Price"). If the lowest Closing Price for the Company's
Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date, if
any, that the Company and Swartz Private Equity, LLC enter into an Investment
Agreement ("Investment Agreement") pursuant to the Letter of Agreement (the
"Market Price at Closing") is less than the Initial Exercise Price, the Exercise
Price shall be reset to equal the Market Price at Closing, or, if the Date of
Exercise is more than six (6) months after the Date of Issuance, the Exercise
Price shall be reset to equal the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price then in
effect, or (ii) the "Lowest Reset Price," as that term is defined below. The
Company shall calculate a "Reset Price" on each six-month anniversary date of
the Date of

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

Issuance which shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the lowest Closing
Price of the Company's Common Stock for the five (5) trading days ending on such
six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance. The "Lowest Reset Price"
shall equal the lowest Reset Price determined on any six-month anniversary date
of the Date of Issuance preceding the Date of Exercise, taking into account, as
appropriate, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a
combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

     (i) Cash Exercise: cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer; or

     (ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction under this subsection (ii) if and
only if, on the Date of Exercise, there is not then in effect a current
registration statement that covers the resale of the shares of Common Stock to
be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise,
the Holder shall surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company
shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:

                                  X = Y (A-B)/A

where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

       Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being
exercised.

       A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of
this Section 3 (ii) the "Market Price" shall be defined as the average Closing
Price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days prior to the Date of
Exercise of this Warrant (the "Average Closing Price"), as reported by the
O.T.C. Bulletin Board, National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation System ("Nasdaq") Small Cap Market, or if the Common Stock is not
traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the Average Closing Price in any other
over-the-counter market; provided, however, that if the Common Stock is listed
on a stock exchange, the Market Price shall be the Average Closing Price on such
exchange for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of exercise of the
Warrants. If the Common Stock is/was not traded during the five (5) trading days
prior to the Date of Exercise, then the closing price for the last publicly
traded day shall be deemed to be the closing price for any and all (if
applicable) days during such five (5) trading day period.

       B = the Exercise Price.

     For purposes hereof, the term "Closing Price" shall mean the closing price
on the the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the National Market System ("NMS" ), the New
York Stock Exchange, or the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, or if no longer traded on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the National Market System ("NMS"), the New York Stock
Exchange, or the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, the "Closing Price" shall equal the
closing price on the principal national securities exchange or the
over-the-counter system on which the Common Stock is so traded and, if not
available, the mean of the high and low prices on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so traded.

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

     For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to
have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction
shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.

     4. Transfer and Registration.

     (a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained.

     (b) Registrable Securities. In addition to any other registration rights of
the Holder, if the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not
registered for resale at the time the Company proposes to register (including
for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other
than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the Act (other than a
registration relating solely for the sale of securities to participants in a
Company stock plan or a registration on Form S-4 promulgated under the Act or
any successor or similar form registering stock issuable upon a
reclassification, upon a business combination involving an exchange of
securities or upon an exchange offer for securities of the issuer or another
entity)

     (a "Piggyback Registration Statement"), the Company shall cause to be
included in such Piggyback Registration Statement ("Piggyback Registration") all
of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant ("Registrable
Securities") to the extent such inclusion does not violate the registration
rights of any other securityholder of the Company granted prior to the date
hereof. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company from withdrawing or abandoning
the Piggyback Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness.

     (c) Limitation on Obligations to Register under a Piggyback Registration.
In the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to an underwritten public
offering by the Company, if the managing underwriter determines and advises in
writing that the inclusion in the registration statement of all Registrable
Securities proposed to be included would interfere with the successful marketing
of the securities proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of
such Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration
Statement, to the extent such Registrable Securities may be included in such
Piggyback Registration Statement, shall be allocated among all Holders who had
requested Piggyback Registration pursuant to the terms hereof, in the proportion
that the number of Registrable Securities which each such Holder seeks to
register bears to the total number of Registrable Securities sought to be
included by all Holders. If required by the managing underwriter of such an
underwritten public offering, the Holders shall enter into a reasonable
agreement limiting the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such
Piggyback Registration Statement and the terms, if any, regarding the future
sale of such Registrable Securities.

     5. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

     (a) Stock Dividend. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, then Holder, upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend, shall be entitled to receive upon Exercise of this
Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is exercised, such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.

     (b) Recapitalization or Reclassification.

         (i) Stock Split. If the Company shall at any time effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger number of shares (a "Stock Split"), then upon the
effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall
be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in
direct proportion to the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock by
reason of such recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and
the Exercise Price shall be proportionally decreased.

         (ii) Reverse Stock Split. If the Company shall at any time effect a
recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a smaller number of shares (a "Reverse Stock Split"), then upon
the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder
shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be
proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionally
increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders
of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).

     (c) Distributions. If the Company shall at any time distribute for no
consideration to holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or
other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable
out of earned surplus or net profits for the current or preceding years) then,
in any such case, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon Exercise of this
Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets
which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share
of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders
to be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if
the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of such
distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion) and the denominator of
which is such Exercise Price.

     (d) Notice of Consolidation or Merger. In the event of a merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other
similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes
of stock or securities or other assets of the Company or another entity or there
is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate
Change"), then this Warrant shall be exercisable into such class and type of
securities or other assets as Holder would have received had

Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change;
provided, however, that Company may not affect any Corporate Change unless it
first shall have given thirty (30) days notice to Holder hereof of any Corporate
Change.

     (e) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the purchase puce per share specified in Section 3 of this
Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to
time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No such adjustment
under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would change the
Exercise Price at the time by $.O1 or more; provided, however, that all
adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate thereof
would change the Exercise Price at the time by $.O1 or more.

     (f)  Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event
          that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
          Section 5, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become
          entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other
          than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein
          to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such
          shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of
          such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to
          adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
          equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

     6. Fractional Interests.

         No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant,
Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on
Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of
Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise shall be the next higher number of shares.

     7. Reservation of Shares.

         The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees
that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.

     8. Restrictions on Transfer.

     (a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue of
Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state laws. The
Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may not
be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or unless the Company has received an opinion from the
Company's counsel to the effect that such registration is not required, or the
Holder has furnished to the Company an opinion of the Holder's counsel, which
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
registration is not required; the transfer complies with any applicable state
securities laws; and, if no registration covering the resale of the Warrant
Shares is effective at the time the Warrant Shares are issued, the Holder
consents

to a legend being placed on certificates for the Warrant Shares stating that the
securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and referring to
such restrictions on transferability and sale.

     (b) Assignment. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall
be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each
assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and
shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares.

     9. Benefits of this Warrant.

         Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person
other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Company and Holder.

     10. Applicable Law.

         This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada, without giving
effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.

     11. Loss of Warrant.

         Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

     12. Notice or Demands.

Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or
on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until
