                          SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as
of  October  __,  2001,  by and among  BESTNET  COMMUNICATIONS  CORP.,  a Nevada
corporation (the  "COMPANY"),  and the Purchaser listed on Exhibit A hereto (the
"PURCHASER").
                                                               RECITALS

     WHEREAS,  the Company  has  authorized  the sale of Series C 8%  Cumulative
Convertible  Preferred Stock,  $0.001 par value (the "PREFERRED  STOCK") for the
aggregate purchase price of $500,000,,  convertible into shares of the Company's
common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK");

     WHEREAS,  the Company  wishes to issue  warrants  (the  "WARRANTS")  to the
Purchaser to purchase  shares of the Company's  Common Stock in connection  with
Purchaser's purchase of the Preferred Stock;

     WHEREAS,  Purchaser desires to purchase the Preferred Stock and Warrants on
the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

     WHEREAS,  the  Company  desires to issue and sell the  Preferred  Stock and
Warrants to Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises,  representations,  warranties and covenants  hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this  Agreement,  on the  Closing  Date (as  defined in Section 3), the
Company  agrees to sell to the  Purchaser,  and the  Purchaser  hereby agrees to
purchase  from the Company  Preferred  Stock in the amount set forth next to the
Purchaser's  name on Exhibit A under the column heading  "Closing Date Preferred
Stock,"  convertible  in  accordance  with the terms  thereof into shares of the
Company's Common Stock,  which amount shall be equal to $500,000.  The Preferred
Stock  purchased  on the  Closing  Date  shall be known as the  "OFFERING."  The
Certificate  of  Designations  for the  Preferred  Stock  (the  "CERTIFICATE  OF
DESIGNATIONS")  is annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The Preferred  Stock will have a
Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined in the Preferred Stock) two years from the
date of issuance.  Collectively,  the  Preferred  Stock and Warrants (as defined
above) and Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion  of the  Preferred  Stock and
exercise of the Warrants are referred to as the "SECURITIES."

     2. FEES AND WARRANTS.

          (a) The  Company  will  issue and  deliver  to the  persons  listed on
Exhibit A under the column heading "Warrant  Holders",  or to such other persons
as the Purchaser shall otherwise  designate (such named persons,  as they may be
so  otherwise  designated,  being  referred  to as  the  "WARRANT  RECIPIENTS"),
Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in the amounts designated on Exhibit
A hereto in connection with the Offering (the "WARRANTS")  pursuant to Section 1
hereof. The Warrants must be delivered on the Closing Date. The aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock  purchasable  upon exercise of the Warrants granted on
the Closing Date is set forth on Exhibit A hereto.  A form of Warrant is annexed
hereto as Exhibit C. The per share  "PURCHASE  PRICE" of Common Stock as defined
in the  Warrants  shall be  equal to 120% of the  average  of the  three  lowest
closing  prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg  Financial  for the
Pink  Sheets,  the NASD OTC  Bulletin  Board,  NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market,  NASDAQ
National  Market,  American Stock Exchange,  or New York Stock Exchange (each of
the  foregoing  the  "PRINCIPAL  MARKET"),  or such  other  principal  market or
exchange  where the Common  Stock is listed or traded,  for the ten (10) trading
days  preceding but not including  the Closing  Date.  All the  representations,
covenants, warranties,  undertakings, and indemnification, and other rights made
or granted to or for the benefit of  Purchaser  are hereby also made and granted
to the  holders of the  Warrants  in respect of the  Warrants  and shares of the
Company's  Common Stock  issuable  upon  exercise of the Warrants  (the "WARRANT
SHARES").
<PAGE>
          (b) The Company shall  reimburse  Purchaser for its  reasonable  legal
fees of $12,500  for  services  rendered to  Purchaser  in  preparation  of this
Agreement and the Related  Agreements,  and an  additional  amount not to exceed
$2,500 in connection  with its due diligence  review of the Company and relevant
matters. Amounts required to be paid hereunder will be paid at the Closing.

          (c) The Company will pay a cash fee in the amount of ten percent (10%)
of the aggregate gross purchase price to be paid to the Company from the sale of
Preferred Stock in the Offering (the "FUND MANAGER'S FEE") to the persons listed
on Exhibit A under the column heading "Fund  Manager's Fee  Recipient." The Fund
Manager's  Fee  must  be paid  on the  Closing  Date.  The  aforementioned  Fund
Manager's  Fee and legal fees will be payable at the  Closing  out of funds held
pursuant  to a  Funds  Escrow  Agreement  to be  entered  into  by the  Company,
Purchaser and an Escrow Agent.  Failure to timely deliver the Fund Manager's Fee
or the  Warrants  shall be deemed an Event of Default as defined in Section 9 of
the Preferred Stock.

     3. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.

          3.1 CLOSING.  Subject to the terms and conditions  herein, the closing
of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  (the  "CLOSING"),  which  closing is

agree (such date is hereinafter referred to as the "CLOSING DATE").

          3.2  DELIVERY.  At the  Closing,  subject to the terms and  conditions
hereof,  the Company will  deliver to the  Purchaser  shares of Preferred  Stock
representing  the  aggregate  principal  amount  received  by the Company at the
Closing  from  the  Purchaser  and  a  warrant  certificate  registered  in  the
Purchaser's  name  representing  the  number of  Warrant  Shares as to which the
Warrant  is  exercisable  pursuant  to this  Agreement,  against  payment of the
purchase price therefor by certified  funds or wire transfer made payable to the
order of the Company,  cancellation  of  indebtedness  or any combination of the
foregoing.

     4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

     The Company hereby  represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date
of this  Agreement  as set forth  below.

          4.1 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.  The  Company  has all  requisite  corporate  power and
authority to own and operate its properties  and assets,  to execute and deliver
this Agreement, the Warrants to be issued in connection with this Agreement, the
Funds Escrow Agreement, the Security Agreement and all other agreements referred
to  herein  (collectively,  the  "RELATED  AGREEMENTS"),  to issue  and sell the
Preferred  Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of the
Preferred Stock (the  "CONVERSION  SHARES"),  to issue and sell the Warrants and
the Warrant  Shares,  and to carry out the  provisions of this Agreement and the
Related  Agreements  and to carry on its business as presently  conducted and as
presently  proposed  to be  conducted.  The  Company  is duly  qualified  and is
authorized  to do business and is in good standing as a foreign  corporation  in
all  jurisdictions  in which the nature of its  activities and of its properties
(both owned and leased)  makes such  qualification  necessary,  except for those
jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company or its business.

          4.2  SUBSIDIARIES.  Except as disclosed  on Schedule  4.2, the Company
does not own or  control  any equity  security  or other  interest  of any other
corporation,  limited  partnership  or other business  entity.  If any entity is
listed on Schedule  4.2.  and the Company  owns a  controlling  interest in such
entity,  each of the  representations and warranties set forth in this Section 4
are being hereby  restated with respect to such entity  (modified as appropriate
to the nature of such entity.)

          4.3 CAPITALIZATION; VOTING RIGHTS.

               (a) The  authorized  capital  stock of the  Company,  immediately
prior to the Closing,  consists of (i)  50,000,000  shares of Common Stock,  par
value $0.001 per share,  14,659,148  shares of which are issued and outstanding,
and (ii) 10,000,000  shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, none

<PAGE>
               (b) Other than (i) the shares  reserved  for  issuance  under the
Company's Stock Option Plan;  (ii) shares which may be granted  pursuant to this
Agreement and the Related  Agreements;  and (iii) warrants  issued to Cedar Ave.
and the placement agents,  there are no outstanding  options,  warrants,  rights
(including  conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal),  proxy
or stockholder  agreements,  or  arrangements  or agreements of any kind for the
purchase or acquisition  from the Company of any of its securities.  Neither the
offer,  issuance  or sale of any of the  Preferred  Stock  or  Warrants,  or the
issuance of any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, nor the consummation
of any transaction  contemplated  hereby will result in a change in the price or
number of any  securities of the Company  outstanding,  under  anti-dilution  or
other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

               (c) All issued and  outstanding  shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock (i) have been duly  authorized  and validly  issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable  and (ii) were, to the Company's  knowledge,  issued in compliance
with  all  applicable   state  and  federal  laws  concerning  the  issuance  of
securities.

               (d) The rights,  preferences,  privileges and restrictions of the
shares of the Common Stock are as stated in the Articles of  Incorporation  (the
"CHARTER").  The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly and validly
reserved  for  issuance.  When  issued  and  paid  for in  compliance  with  the
provisions of this  Agreement and the Company's  Charter,  the Preferred  Stock,
Warrants,  Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (sometimes collectively referred
to  herein  as  the  "SECURITIES")  will  be  validly  issued,  fully  paid  and
nonassessable,  and will be free of any liens or encumbrances,  except for liens
or encumbrances placed on such securities by the Purchaser;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
that the  Securities  may be subject to  restrictions  on  transfer  under state
and/or federal  securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise  required by
such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.

               (e)  No  stock  plan,  stock  purchase,  stock  option  or  other
agreement  or  understanding  between  the  Company and any holder of any equity
securities or rights to purchase equity securities  provides for acceleration or
other  changes in the vesting  provisions  or other terms of such  agreement  or
understanding as the result of any merger, consolidated sale of stock or assets,
change in control or any other  transaction(s)  by the  Company,  including  the
transactions contemplated hereunder.

          4.4 AUTHORIZATION;  BINDING  OBLIGATIONS.  All corporate action on the
part of the Company, its officers,  directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization of this Agreement and the Related  Agreements,  the performance of
all obligations of the Company  hereunder at the Closing and the  authorization,

Agreements  has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.  The Agreement
and the Related  Agreements,  when  executed  and  delivered,  will be valid and
binding  obligations of the Company  enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except (a) as  limited by  applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,
moratorium  or  other  laws of  general  application  affecting  enforcement  of
creditors'  rights,  and (b)  general  principles  of equity that  restrict  the
availability  of equitable  remedies.  The sale of the  Preferred  Stock and the
subsequent  conversion of the Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares are not and
will not be subject to any  preemptive  rights or rights of first  refusal  that
have not been properly waived or complied with. The sale of the Warrants and the
subsequent  exercise of the Warrants for Warrant  Shares are not and will not be
subject to any  preemptive  rights or rights of first refusal that have not been
properly  waived or complied  with.  The  Certificate  of  Designations  and the
Warrants,  when  executed  and  delivered in  accordance  with the terms of this
Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company,  enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms.

          4.5 LIABILITIES. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined in
Section 4.21),  the Company has no material  liabilities  and, to its knowledge,

other than those with respect to the Softtalk licence,  or (iv)  indemnification
by the Company with respect to infringements of proprietary rights.

               (b) Since the date of the  Company's  most recent Form 10-QSB and

Company has not (i) declared or paid any  dividends,  or  authorized or made any

aggregate,  (iii) made any loans or advances to any person,  other than ordinary
advances for travel expenses,  or (iv) sold,  exchanged or otherwise disposed of
any of its  assets  or  rights,  other  than  the sale of its  inventory  in the
ordinary course of business.

               (c) For the  purposes  of  subsections  (a)  and (b)  above,  all
indebtedness,  liabilities, agreements,  understandings,  instruments, contracts

such subsections.

               (d) The  Company  has not  engaged  in the past two  years in any
discussion  (i) with  any  representative  of any  corporation  or  corporations
regarding  the  consolidation  or  merger of the  Company  with or into any such
corporation or corporations, (ii) with any corporation, partnership, association
or other  business  entity or any individual  regarding the sale,  conveyance or
disposition  of all or  substantially  all of the  assets of the  Company,  or a
transaction  or series of  related  transactions  in which  more than 50% of the
voting power of the Company is disposed of or (iii)  regarding any other form of
acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

          4.7  OBLIGATIONS TO RELATED  PARTIES.  There are no obligations of the
Company to officers,  directors,  stockholders or employees of the Company other

immediate families, are indebted to the Company. None of the officers, directors

other than with respect to Softtalk,  or any firm or corporation  which competes
with the Company,  other than passive  investments in publicly traded  companies
(representing  less than 1% of such company) which may compete with the Company.
No officer, director or stockholder,  or any member of their immediate families,
is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract with the Company
and no agreements,  understandings  or proposed  transactions  are  contemplated
between  the  Company and any such  person.  The  Company is not a guarantor  or
indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.

or writ. The  execution,  delivery and  performance of and compliance  with this
Agreement  and the Related  Agreements,  and the issuance and sale of Securities

pledge, lien,  encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company or the suspension,  revocation,  impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of
any permit,  license,  authorization or approval applicable to the Company,  its
business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

          4.12 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
that questions the validity of this  Agreement or the Related  Agreements or the

transactions  contemplated  hereby or  thereby,  or which might  result,  either
individually or in the aggregate,  in any material adverse change in the assets,
condition, or affairs of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in
the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there
is any basis for any of the foregoing.  The Company is not a party or subject to
the provisions of any order, writ,  injunction,  judgment or decree of any court
or government agency or  instrumentality.  Other than the action with respect to

the  Closing,  have  been  paid or will be paid  prior to the time  they  become
delinquent.  The  Company  has not been  advised  (a)  that any of its  returns,

contract,  proprietary  information agreement or any other agreement relating to
the right of any such  individual  to be employed by, or to contract  with,  the
Company  because of the nature of the  business to be  conducted by the Company;
and to the Company's  knowledge  the continued  employment by the Company of its
present  employees,  and the  performance  of the Company's  contracts  with its
independent  contractors,  will not result in any such violation. The Company is
not aware that any of its employees is obligated  under any contract  (including
licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject
to any judgment,  decree or order of any court or  administrative  agency,  that
would  interfere with their duties to the Company.  The Company has not received

restriction  of any domestic or foreign  government  or any  instrumentality  or

Closing,  as will be filed in a timely manner.  The Company has all  franchises,
permits,  licenses and any similar  authority  necessary  for the conduct of its
business as now being  conducted by it, the lack of which could  materially  and
adversely affect the business,  properties,  prospects or financial condition of
the Company.

the Company to Purchaser or its  attorneys or agents in  connection  herewith or
therewith or with the transactions  contemplated hereby or thereby,  contain any
untrue  statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements  contained herein or therein not misleading.  To
the  Company's  knowledge,  there  are no facts  which  (individually  or in the
aggregate)  materially  adversely  affect  the  business,  assets,  liabilities,
financial  condition,  or operations of the Company that have not been set forth
in the Agreement,  the exhibits and schedules hereto,  the Related Agreements or
in other  documents  delivered  to  Purchaser  or its  attorneys  or  agents  in
connection herewith.

has filed all proxy statements, reports and other documents required to be filed
by it under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended  (the  "EXCHANGE
ACT").  The Company has furnished  the  Purchaser  with copies of (i) its Annual
Report on Form  10-KSB for the  fiscal  year ended  August  31,  2000,  (ii) its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended February 28, 2001
and  May  31,  2001  and  (iii)  its  Proxy   Statement  dated  August  8,  2000
(collectively, the "SEC REPORTS"). Each SEC Report was in substantial compliance
with the  requirements of its respective  form and none of the SEC Reports,  nor
the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as
of their respective dates,  contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a 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.

          4.22 NO MARKET  MANIPULATION.  The Company has not taken, and will not
take,  directly or indirectly,  any action designed to, or that might reasonably
be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of
the Common Stock of the Company to  facilitate  the sale or resale of any of the
Securities  being  offered  hereby  or  affect  the  price at  which  any of the
Securities being offered hereby may be issued.

          4.23 LISTING.  The Company's Common Stock is listed for trading on the
NASD OTC Bulletin Board and satisfies all  requirements  for the continuation of
such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will
be delisted  from the NASD OTC Bulletin  Board or that the Common Stock does not
meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.

          4.24 NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor to the Company's
knowledge any of its  affiliates,  nor any person acting on its or their behalf,
has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited
any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering
of the  Securities  pursuant  to this  Agreement  to be  integrated  with  prior
offerings  by the Company for  purposes of the 1933 Act which would  prevent the
Company from selling the Securities  pursuant to Rule 506 under the 1933 Act, or
any applicable  exchange-related  stockholder approval provisions.  Nor will the
Company or any of its affiliates or  subsidiaries  take any action or steps that
would  cause  the  offering  of  the  Securities  to be  integrated  with  other
offerings.

          4.25 STOP TRANSFER. The Securities are restricted securities as of the
date of this  Agreement.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer  order or
other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Securities at such time
as  the  Securities  are  registered  for  public  sale  or  an  exemption  from
registration is available, except as required by federal securities laws.

          4.26  DILUTION.  The number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
conversion  of the  Preferred  Stock and  exercise of the  Warrants may increase
substantially in certain circumstances,  including,  but not necessarily limited
to, the  circumstance  wherein the trading  price of the Common  Stock  declines
prior to conversion or exercise of such securities. The Company's directors have
studied and fully  understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and
recognize  that they have a potential  dilutive  effect.  The  directors  of the
Company have concluded,  in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance
is in the best interests of the Company. The Company  specifically  acknowledges

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
that its  obligation to issue the shares of Common Stock upon  conversion of the
Preferred  Stock and  exercise of the  Warrants is binding  upon the Company and
enforceable  regardless  of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other shareholders of the Company.

this investment  until the Securities are registered  pursuant to the Securities
Act, or an exemption from registration is available.

the insurable value of the property insured; and the Company will maintain, with
financially  sound and reputable  insurers,  insurance against other hazards and
risks and  liability  to persons  and  property  to the extent and in the manner
customary  for  companies in similar  businesses  similarly  situated and to the
extent available on commercially reasonable terms.

          6.9 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Company will keep true records and books of
account in which full,  true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or
transactions  in  relation  to its  business  and  affairs  in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

          6.10 INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY.  The Company shall maintain in full force
and effect its corporate  existence,  rights and franchises and all licenses and
other  rights  to  use  Intellectual  Property  owned  or  possessed  by it  and
reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business.

          6.11  CONFIDENTIALITY.  The Company  agrees that it will not disclose,

is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.

accordance with GAAP consistently  applied, or fair market value,  determined by

provisions of this Agreement or any of the agreements contemplated thereby;

               (h)  create,  incur,  assume  or  suffer  to  exist  indebtedness
exceeding an aggregate principal amount of $375,000 outstanding at any time;

               (i)  amend,  alter or repeal  the  Company's  Bylaws or  Restated

counsel receive reasonably requested  representations from the selling Purchaser
and broker, if any.

                                      -12-

          6.14  OPINION.  On the Closing  Date,  the Company will deliver to the
Purchaser  an opinion  acceptable  to the  Purchaser  from the  Company's  legal
counsel in the form annexed  hereto as Exhibit D. The Company will  provide,  at
the Company's expense, such other legal opinions in the future as are reasonably
necessary  for  the  conversion  of the  Preferred  Stock  and  exercise  of the
Warrants.

     7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.

          7.1 COMPANY  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company  agrees to indemnify,  hold
harmless,   reimburse  and  defend  Purchaser,  each  of  Purchaser's  officers,
directors,  agents,  affiliates,  control persons,  and principal  shareholders,
against  any  claim,  cost,  expense,  liability,  obligation,  loss  or  damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Purchaser   which   results,   arises   out  of  or  is   based   upon  (i)  any
misrepresentation  by the  Company or breach of any  warranty  by the Company in
this  Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules  attached  hereto or any Related
Agreement,  or (ii) any breach or default in  performance  by the Company of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company  hereunder,  or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.

          7.2 PURCHASER'S  INDEMNIFICATION.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless,  reimburse and defend the Company,  its officers,  directors,  agents,
affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders at all times against any
claim,  cost,  expense,   liability,   obligation,  loss  or  damage  (including
reasonable  legal fees) of any nature,  incurred by or imposed  upon the Company
which  results,  arises  out of or is based  upon (a) any  misrepresentation  by
Purchaser in this Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules  attached  hereto or
any Related Agreement;  or (b) any breach or default in performance by Purchaser
of any covenant or  undertaking to be performed by Purchaser  hereunder,  or any
other agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.

          7.3  PROCEDURES.  The procedures and  limitations set forth in Section
9.6 shall apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above.

     8. CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK.

          8.1 MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.

               (a) The Preferred Stock and accrued dividends will be convertible
according to the procedure set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

               (b) The Company  understands  that a delay in the delivery of the
Conversion Shares after Conversion, and delivery of Preferred Stock certificates
representing the unconverted  balance of a Preferred Stock certificate  tendered
for  conversion  beyond the date  described  for such  delivery set forth in the
Certificate of Designation,  or late delivery of a Mandatory  Redemption Payment
(as  defined  herein),  as the case may be,  (each of the  foregoing a "DELIVERY
DATE") could result in economic loss to the Purchaser.  As  compensation  to the
Purchaseer  for such  loss,  the  Company  agrees  to pay late  payments  to the
Purchaser  for late  delivery of Shares upon  Conversion  and late delivery of a
Preferred Stock  certificate  for the unconverted  portion of Preferred Stock or
late  delivery  of a  Mandatory  Redemption  Payment,  in the amount of $100 per
business  day after  the  Delivery  Date for each  $10,000  of  Stated  Value of
Preferred  Stock being  converted  and  Preferred  Stock  certificate  remaining
undelivered or Mandatory  Redemption Payment not paid. The Company shall pay any
payments  incurred  under  this  Section  in  immediately   available  funds  or
equivalent  shares  based upon the  applicable  Conversion  Price  upon  demand.
Furthermore,  in addition to any other  remedies  which may be  available to the
Purchaser, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery
of the Shares within five business days after the Delivery  Date,  the Purchaser
will be entitled to revoke the relevant  Notice of  Conversion  by delivery of a
notice of  revocation  to the Company  whereupon  the Company and the  Purchaser
shall each be restored to their respective  positions  immediately  prior to the
delivery  of such  notice  of  revocation,  except  that  late  payment  charges
described  above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation is given
to the Company.

               (c)  Nothing  contained  herein or in any  document  referred  to
herein or  delivered  in  connection  herewith  shall be deemed to  establish or
require  the  payment of a rate of  interest  or other  charges in excess of the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
maximum  permitted by applicable  law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends  required  to be paid or other  charges  hereunder  exceed the maximum
amount  permitted by such law,  any payments in excess of such maximum  shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to
the Company.

          8.2 MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  In the event the Company is unable to issue
Conversion  Shares on a Delivery Date or at any time when the Preferred Stock is
convertible,  for any reason, then at the Purchaser's election, the Company must
pay to the Purchaser five (5) business days after request by the Purchaser or on
the Delivery Date (if requested by the  Purchaser) a sum of money  determined by
multiplying  the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock not converted (or otherwise
not  convertible,  as  applicable)  by 130%,  together  with  accrued but unpaid
dividends thereon ("MANDATORY  REDEMPTION  PAYMENT").  The Mandatory  Redemption
Payment  must be received by the  Purchaser  on the same date as the  Conversion
Shares are otherwise deliverable or within five (5) business days after request,
whichever is sooner ("MANDATORY  REDEMPTION PAYMENT DATE").  Upon receipt of the
Mandatory  Redemption  Payment,  the  corresponding   Preferred  Stock  will  be
cancelled and no longer  outstanding,  and if the Holder is in possession of the
corresponding Preferred Stock, the certificate will be returned to the Company.

          8.3 MAXIMUM CONVERSION. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to convert
on a Conversion  Date that amount of the Preferred Stock in connection with that
number of shares of Common  Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the
number of  shares  of Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by the  Purchaser  on a
Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of the  Preferred  Stock with respect to which the  determination  of
this  proviso  is  being  made on a  Conversion  Date,  which  would  result  in
beneficial  ownership  by the  Purchaser  of more than 4.99% of the  outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion  Date. For the purposes
of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall
be  determined  in  accordance  with  Section  13(d)  of the  Exchange  Act  and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, a Purchaser shall not be
limited  to  aggregate  conversions  of only  4.99%.  A  Purchaser  may void the
conversion limitation described in this Section 8.3 upon 75 days prior notice to
the Company or upon an Event of Default under the Preferred  Stock.  A Purchaser
may allocate  which of the equity of the Company  deemed  beneficially  owned by
such Purchaser  shall be included in the 4.99% amount  described above and which
shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.

          8.4 INJUNCTION - POSTING OF BOND. In the event a Purchaser shall elect
to convert  Preferred  Stock,  the  Company  may not refuse  conversion  for any
reason,  unless  an  injunction  from a court,  on  notice,  restraining  and or
enjoining  conversion  of all or part of said  Preferred  Stock  shall have been
sought and obtained and the Company  posts a surety bond for the benefit of such
Purchaser  in the  amount  of 130% of the  amount  of the  Stated  Value  of the
Preferred Stock, which is subject to the injunction,  which bond shall remain in
effect until the  completion  of  arbitration/litigation  of the dispute and the
proceeds  of which shall be payable to such  Purchaser  to the extent it obtains
judgment.

          8.5  BUY-IN.  In  addition  to  any  other  rights  available  to  the
Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to the Purchaser Conversion Shares by
the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date the Purchaser  purchases (in an
open  market  transaction  or  otherwise)  shares of Common  Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the Common Stock which the Purchaser
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "BUY-IN"),  then the Company shall
pay in cash to the  Purchaser  (in  addition  to any  remedies  available  to or
elected  by such  Purchaser)  the  amount  by which  (A) the  Purchaser's  total
purchase  price  (including  brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the  shares of
Common  Stock  so  purchased  exceeds  (B) the  aggregate  Stated  Value  of the
Preferred Stock, for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with
dividends thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any
accrued  dividends  thereon  is paid  in full  (which  amount  shall  be paid as
liquidated  damages  and  not as a  penalty).  For  example,  if  the  Purchaser
purchases  shares of Common  Stock having a total  purchase  price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted  conversion of $10,000 of the Stated
Value of the Preferred Stock, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser
$1,000,  plus interest.  The Purchaser  shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

     9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          9.1  REGISTRATION  RIGHTS  GRANTED.  The  Company  hereby  grants  the
following registration rights to holders of the securities purchased hereby.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
               (a) On two occasions,  for a period  commencing 90 days after the
Closing  Date,  but not later  than two (2) years  after the  Closing  Date (the
"REQUEST  DATE"),  the Company,  upon a written request therefor from holders of
more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Securities then outstanding,  on
an as  converted  basis (the  Conversion  Shares and  Warrant  Shares  issued or
issuable with respect to all Preferred  Stock or Warrants issued or to be issued
hereunder, being, the "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES"), shall prepare and file with the
SEC a registration  statement  under the Securities Act covering the Registrable
Securities  which are the  subject  of such  request,  unless  such  Registrable
Securities  are  the  subject  of an  effective  registration  statement  or can
otherwise be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k). In addition, upon the receipt of such
request,  the Company  shall  promptly  give written  notice to all other record
holders of the Registrable  Securities that such registration statement is to be
filed and shall include in such registration  statement  Registrable  Securities
for which it has  received  written  requests  within 10 days after the  Company
gives such written notice.  Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed
to have exercised their demand  registration  right under this Section 9.1. As a
condition  precedent to the  inclusion  of  Registrable  Securities,  the holder
thereof  shall  provide  the  Company  with  such  information  as  the  Company
reasonably requests.  The obligation of the Company under this Section 9.1 shall
be limited to two registration statements.

               (b) If the Company at any time  proposes  to register  any of its
securities under the Act for sale to the public,  whether for its own account or
for the  account of other  security  holders  or both,  except  with  respect to
registration  statements  on Forms S-4,  S-8 or another form not  available  for
registering  the  Registrable  Securities  for sale to the public,  provided the
Registrable  Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Purchaser
or subsequent holder pursuant to an effective registration statement,  each such
time it will give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the record holder of
any  Securities  of its  intention  so to do.  Upon the  written  request of the
holder,  received  by the  Company  within 30 days  after the giving of any such
notice by the  Company,  to  register  any of the  Registrable  Securities,  the
Company will cause such Registrable  Securities as to which  registration  shall
have been so requested to be included  with the  securities to be covered by the
registration  statement  proposed to be filed by the Company,  all to the extent
required to permit the sale or other  disposition of the Registrable  Securities
so registered by the holder of such  Registrable  Securities (the "SELLER").  In
the event that any  registration  pursuant to this  Section  9.1(b) shall be, in
whole or in  part,  an  underwritten  public  offering  of  Common  Stock of the
Company,  the number of shares of Registrable  Securities to be included in such
an underwriting may be reduced by the managing  underwriter if and to the extent
that the Company and the  underwriter  shall  reasonably  be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold
by the Company  therein;  provided,  however,  that the Company shall notify the
Seller  in  writing  of  any  such  reduction.   Notwithstanding   the  forgoing
provisions,  or Section  9.1(a)  hereof,  the Company  may  withdraw or delay or
suffer a delay of any registration  statement referred to in this Section 9.1(b)
without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.

               (c) If,  at the time any  written  request  for  registration  is
received by the Company  pursuant to Section 9.1(a),  the Company has determined
to proceed with the actual  preparation  and filing of a registration  statement
under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash
of any of its  securities  for the Company's own account,  such written  request
shall be deemed to have been  given  pursuant  to  Section  9.1(b)  rather  than
Section 9.1(a), and the rights of the holders of Registrable  Securities covered
by such  written  request  shall be governed by Section  9.1(b)  except that the
Company or underwriter,  if any, may not withdraw such registration or limit the
amount of Registrable Securities included in such registration.

               (d) The  Company  shall  file with the SEC  within 40 days of the
Closing Date (the "FILING DATE"),  and use its reasonable  commercial efforts to
cause to be declared effective a Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other
form that it is eligible to use) within 90 days of the Closing  Date in order to
register  the  Registrable  Securities  for  resale and  distribution  under the
Securities Act. The registration  statement  described in this paragraph must be
declared  effective  by the SEC within 90 days of the  Closing  Date (as defined
herein)  ("EFFECTIVE DATE"). The Company will register not less than a number of
shares of Common  Stock in the  aforedescribed  registration  statement  that is
equal to 300% of the  Warrant  Shares  and  Conversion  Shares  issuable  at the
Conversion  Prices set forth in the Warrants and Preferred Stock,  respectively,
that  would be in  effect  on the  Closing  Date or the date of  filing  of such
registration statement (employing the conversion price which would result in the
greater  number of Shares),  assuming the  conversion  of 100% of the  Preferred
Stock which are then outstanding or issuable  hereunder,  and at least one share
of common stock for each common  share  issuable  upon  exercise of the Warrants
which are then outstanding or issuable hereunder (employing the Conversion Price
that would result in the greater number of shares).  The Registrable  Securities

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of the Purchaser and
the holders of the  Warrants,  as the case may be, and not  issued,  employed or
reserved for anyone other than the  Purchaser  and the holders of the  Warrants.
Such registration statement will be promptly amended or additional  registration
statements  will be  promptly  filed by the  Company as  necessary  to  register
additional  Company  Shares  to allow the  public  resale  of all  Common  Stock
included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities.  No securities
of the Company  other than the  Registrable  Securities  will be included in the
registration statement described in this Section 9.1(d).

          9.2 REGISTRATION  PROCEDURES.  If and whenever the Company is required
by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

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

               (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration  statement and the prospectus used in connection  therewith
as may be  necessary to keep such  registration  statement  effective  until the
later of: (i) six months after the latest  exercise  period of the Warrants;  or
(ii) four years after the Closing  Date,  and comply with the  provisions of the
Securities  Act  with  respect  to the  disposition  of  all of the  Registrable
Securities  covered  by such  registration  statement  in  accordance  with  the
Seller's intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement
for such period;

               (c) furnish to the Seller,  and to each  underwriter if any, such
number of copies  of the  registration  statement  and the  prospectus  included
therein  (including each preliminary  prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request to facilitate  the public sale or their  disposition  of the  securities
covered by such registration statement;

               (d) use its best  efforts to  register  or qualify  the  Seller's
Registrable   Securities  covered  by  such  registration  statement  under  the
securities  or "blue  sky" laws of such  jurisdictions  as the Seller and in the
case  of  an  underwritten  public  offering,  the  managing  underwriter  shall
reasonably request,  provided,  however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be  required  to qualify  generally  to  transact  business as a foreign
corporation  in any  jurisdiction  where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

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

               (f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under such
registration  statement  at any  time  when a  prospectus  relating  thereto  is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event
of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained
in such registration  statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a  material  fact or omits to state a  material  fact  required  to be stated
therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing; and

               (g) make available for inspection by the Seller,  any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration  statement,  and
any attorney,  accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or  underwriter,
all publicly available,  non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent
corporate  documents  and  properties  of the Company,  and cause the  Company's
officers,   directors   and   employees  to  supply  all   publicly   available,
non-confidential  information  reasonably requested by the seller,  underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
          9.3 PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS.

               (a)  At  the  request  of  the  Seller,  provided  a  demand  for
registration  has  been  made  pursuant  to  Section  9.1(a)  or a  request  for
registration  has  been  made  pursuant  to  Section  9.1(b),   the  Registrable
Securities  will be included in a registration  statement filed pursuant to this
Section 9.

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

          9.4 NON-REGISTRATION  EVENTS. The Company and the Purchaser agree that
the Seller will suffer  damages if any  registration  statement  required  under
Section  9.1(a) above is not filed within 30 days after  written  request by the
holder and not declared  effective by the SEC within 90 days after such request,
and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section
9 hereof,  and it would not be feasible to ascertain  the extent of such damages
with precision.  Accordingly,  if (i) the  Registration  Statement  described in
Section  9.1(a) is not filed within 30 days of such written  request,  or is not
declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is 90 days after such
request,  or (ii) the registration  statement on Form SB-2 or such other form as
described  in Section  9.1(d) is not filed on or before  the Filing  Date or not
declared effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five
days of  receipt  by the  Company  of a  communication  from  the SEC  that  the
registration  statement  described in Section  9.1(d) will not be  reviewed,  or
(iii) any registration statement described in Section 9.1(a) or (d) is filed and
declared  effective but shall  thereafter  cease to be effective  (without being
succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared
effective)  for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per
year but not more than 20 consecutive  calendar days (defined as a period of 365
days commencing on the date the  Registration  Statement is declared  effective)
(each such event  referred  to in this  Section  9.4 is  referred to herein as a
"NON-REGISTRATION  EVENT"),  then,  for so long as such  Non-Registration  Event
shall continue,  (i) the Company shall pay in cash as Liquidated Damages to each
holder of any  Registrable  Securities  an amount  equal to two percent (2%) per
month or part thereof during the pendency of such Non-Registration  Event of the
Stated Value of the  Preferred  Stock issued in  connection  with the  Offering,
whether or not converted,  then owned of record by such holder or issuable as of
or subsequent  to the  occurrence  of such  Non-Registration  Event and (ii) the
Conversion  Price as  defined in Section 5 of the  Certificate  of  Designations
shall be reduced by 10% for each 30-day period following the Effective Date that
the Registration  Statement is not declared effective by the SEC. Payments to be
made pursuant to this Section shall be due and payable  immediately  upon demand
in immediately  available funds. In the event a Mandatory  Redemption Payment is
demanded  from  the  Company  by the  holder  pursuant  to  Section  8.2 of this
Agreement,  then the Liquidated  Damages  described in this Section 9.4 shall no
longer  accrue on the portion of the purchase  price  underlying  the  Mandatory
Redemption  Payment,  from and after the date the holder  receives the Mandatory
Redemption  Payment.  It shall be deemed a Non-Registration  Event to the extent
that all the Common Stock included in the Registrable  Securities and underlying
the Securities is not included in an effective  registration statement as of and
after the Effective Date at the  conversion  prices in effect from and after the
Effective Date.

          9.5 EXPENSES.  All expenses  incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 9, including,  without  limitation,  all  registration  and filing fees,
printing  expenses,  fees and  disbursements  of counsel and independent  public
accountants for the Company,  fees and expenses  (including  reasonable  counsel
fees) incurred in connection with complying with state  securities or "blue sky"
laws, fees of the NASD,  transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars,
fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Seller, and costs of
insurance are called  "REGISTRATION  EXPENSES".  All underwriting  discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities,  including
any fees and  disbursements  of any special  counsel to the Seller  beyond those
included in Registration Expenses, are called "SELLING EXPENSES."

               The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
the  registration  statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in connection
with each  registration  statement  under Section 9 shall be borne by the Seller
and may be  apportioned  among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares
sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement  or as all  Sellers  thereunder  may agree.

          9.6 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

               (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable  Securities
under the  Securities  Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will indemnify and
hold  harmless each Seller,  each officer of each Seller,  each director of each
Seller,  each  underwriter of such  Registrable  Securities  thereunder and each
other  person,  if any, who controls any such Seller or  underwriter  within the
meaning  of  the  Securities  Act,  against  any  losses,   claims,  damages  or
liabilities,  joint or several,  to which the  Seller,  or such  underwriter  or
controlling  person may become  subject under the  Securities  Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities  (or actions in respect
thereof)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue  statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact  contained in any  registration  statement  under
which such  Registrable  Securities  was  registered  under the Act  pursuant to
Section 9, any preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereof,  or arise out of or are based  upon the
omission or alleged  omission to state  therein a material  fact  required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading,  and
will  reimburse  the Seller,  each such  underwriter  and each such  controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with  investigating  or defending  any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability or
action; provided,  however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case
if and to the extent that any such loss,  claim,  damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such
Seller, the underwriter or any such controlling  person in writing  specifically
for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

               (b) In the  event  of a  registration  of any of the  Registrable
Securities  under the Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will  indemnify  and
hold  harmless  the Company,  and each person,  if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities  Act, each officer of the Company who signs
the registration statement and each director of the Company, against all losses,
claims,  damages or liabilities,  joint or several, to which the Company or such
officer or director may become  subject under the  Securities  Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages or liabilities  (or actions in respect
thereof)  arise out of or are based upon any untrue  statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact  contained in the  registration  statement  under
which such  Registrable  Securities  were  registered  under the  Securities Act
pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary  prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein,  or any amendment or supplement  thereof,  or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged  omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will  reimburse  the Company and each such officer 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 Seller will be liable  hereunder in any such case if and only
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  or  omission  or
alleged  omission  made in  reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  information
pertaining to such Seller, as such,  furnished in writing to the Company by such
Seller  specifically for use in such registration  statement or prospectus,  and
provided,  further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be
limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage,  liability or expense
which  is  equal  to the  proportion  that  the  public  offering  price  of the
Registrable  Securities  sold by the Seller  under such  registration  statement
bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder,  but
not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by the Seller from the sale
of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.

               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party  hereunder of
notice of the  commencement of any action,  such  indemnified  party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof,  but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such  indemnified  party other than under this Section  9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified  party under
this Section 9.6(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by
such omission.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying  party of the  commencement  thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall  wish,  to  assume  and   undertake  the  defense   thereof  with  counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified  party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such  indemnified  party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof,  the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 9.6(c) for any legal expenses  subsequently incurred by
such  indemnified  party in  connection  with the  defense  thereof  other  than
reasonable  costs of  investigation  and of liaison  with  counsel so  selected,

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
provided,  however,  that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified  party and the  indemnifying  party and the indemnified  party shall
have reasonably  concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different  from or additional to those  available to the  indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified  party  reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying  party, the indemnified  parties
shall have the right to select one  separate  counsel  and to assume  such legal
defenses and otherwise to  participate  in the defense of such action,  with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

               (d) In order to provide for just and  equitable  contribution  in
the event of joint  liability  under the Act in any case in which either (i) the
Seller,   or  any  controlling   person  of  the  Seller,   makes  a  claim  for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and
the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such  indemnification may not be enforced in such case  notwithstanding the fact
that this  Section  9.6  provides  for  indemnification  in such  case,  or (ii)
contribution  under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Seller
or controlling  person of the Seller in circumstances for which  indemnification
is provided under this Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the  Seller  will  contribute  to  the  aggregate  losses,  claims,  damages  or
liabilities  to which they may be subject  (after  contribution  from others) in
such  proportion  so that  the  Seller  is  responsible  only  for  the  portion
represented by the percentage  that the public  offering price of its securities
offered by the registration  statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such registration statement,  provided,  however, that, in
any such case,  (A) the Seller will not be required to contribute  any amount in
excess  of the  public  offering  price of all  such  securities  offered  by it
pursuant to such registration  statement;  and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent  misrepresentation  (within the meaning of Section  10(f) of the Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     10.  OFFERING  RESTRICTIONS.  Except  as  previously  disclosed  in the SEC
Reports or stock or stock  options  granted to  employees  or  directors  of the
Company;  or  equity or debt  issued  in  connection  with an  acquisition  of a
business or assets by the  Company;  or the  issuance by the Company of stock in
connection with the establishment of a joint venture or strategic partnership or
licensing arrangement (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the "EXCEPTED
ISSUANCES"),  the Company will not issue any equity,  convertible  debt or other
securities  which are or could be (by conversion or  registration)  free-trading
securities  prior to the expiration of 12 months from the actual  effective date
of the registration  statement described in Section 9.1(d) above (the "EXCLUSION
PERIOD").  This  restriction  shall not  prohibit  the Company  from issuing any
equity,  convertible  debt or other  securities  prior to the  expiration of the
Exclusion  Period,  provided  that  such  equity,   convertible  debt  or  other
securities are restricted securities when issued and remain restricted until the
expiration of the Exclusion Period.  Notwithstanding the above, if the Purchaser
elects not to further fund the Company  following the  transaction  contemplated
hereby, the Purchaser shall waive the provisions of this Section 10.

     11. SECURITY INTEREST.  As a condition of Closing, the Company will deliver
to the Purchaser  Common Shares of the Company owned by certain  shareholders of
the Company, together with signature guaranteed stock powers. Collectively,  the
foregoing stock is referred to as "Security Shares." The Security Shares will be
held by the Purchaser  pursuant to a Security  Agreement.  The Company will also
execute all such  documents  reasonably  necessary  to  memorialize  and further
protect the security interest described above.

     12. MISCELLANEOUS.

          12.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed
in  accordance  with  the laws of the  State  of New  York,  without  regard  to
principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the
other  concerning  the  transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement  shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement
and  other  agreements  on  behalf  of  the  Company  agree  to  submit  to  the
jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing  party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable  attorney's  fees and
costs.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement
delivered  in  connection   herewith  is  invalid  or  unenforceable  under  any
applicable  statute  or  rule  of law,  then  such  provision  shall  be  deemed
inoperative  to the extent that it may  conflict  therewith  and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such  provision  which

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
may prove invalid or  unenforceable  under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

          12.2  SURVIVAL.   The  representations,   warranties,   covenants  and
agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Purchaser and
the  closing of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  All  statements  as to
factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or
on behalf of the Company  pursuant  hereto in connection  with the  transactions
contemplated  hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the
Company hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument.

          12.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Except as otherwise  expressly  provided
herein,  the  provisions  hereof  shall  inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon,  the  successors,  assigns,  heirs,  executors and  administrators  of the
parties  hereto and shall  inure to the  benefit of and be  enforceable  by each
person who shall be a holder of the Securities from time to time.

          12.4 ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This  Agreement,  the exhibits and  schedules
hereto, the Related Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto
constitute the full and entire  understanding  and agreement between the parties
with regard to the subjects  hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any
other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
except as specifically set forth herein and therein.

          12.5  SEVERABILITY.  In case any provision of the  Agreement  shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable,  the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

          12.6 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

               (a) This  Agreement  may be  amended  or  modified  only upon the
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

Stock may be waived only with the written consent of such holder.

          12.7  DELAYS OR  OMISSIONS.  It is agreed that no delay or omission to
exercise  any right,  power or remedy  accruing  to any party,  upon any breach,
default or  noncompliance  by another party under this  Agreement or the Related
Agreements,  shall  impair  any such  right,  power or  remedy,  nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach,  default or  noncompliance,  or any
acquiescence  therein, or of or in any similar breach,  default or noncompliance
thereafter occurring.  It is further agreed that any waiver,  permit, consent or
approval of any kind or character on the Purchaser's part of any breach, default
or  noncompliance  under this  Agreement,  the  Preferred  Stock or the  Related
Agreements or any waiver on such party's part of any provisions or conditions of
the Agreement, the Certificate of Designations or the Related Agreements must be
in writing and shall be effective only to the extent  specifically  set forth in
such writing. All remedies,  either under this Agreement, the Preferred Stock or
the Related  Agreements,  by law or  otherwise  afforded to any party,  shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

          12.8 NOTICES.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in

instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement,  the prevailing  party in
such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees,  costs
and  expenses  of  enforcing  any right of such  prevailing  party under or with
respect to this Agreement,  including,  without limitation, such reasonable fees
and  expenses  of  attorneys  and  accountants,  which  shall  include,  without
limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

          12.12 BROKER'S FEES. Each party hereto represents and warrants that no
agent,  broker,  investment banker,  person or firm acting on behalf of or under
the  authority  of such party  hereto is or will be entitled to any  broker's or

the transactions contemplated herein, except as specified herein with respect to
the  Purchaser.  Each party hereto  further agrees to indemnify each other party

                                 FORM OF OPINION

     1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under

as it is now being conducted.

     2. The Company has the requisite  corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and Related  Agreements.

Securities  pursuant to the Agreement and the Related Agreements has been taken.
The Conversion  Shares and the Warrant  Shares,  when issued  pursuant to and in

issued and outstanding, fully paid and non assessable.

     3. The execution,  delivery and performance of the Agreement, the Preferred

          (a) Violate the  provisions of the Restated  Articles or bylaws of the
     Company; or

          (b) To the best of such  counsel's  knowledge,  violate any  judgment,

the Company,  and are  enforceable  against the Company in accordance with their
respective terms.
