2.  Agency.

A.   PRINCIPAL grants and AGENT hereby accepts from PRINCIPAL an Exclusive
Agency to negotiate licenses on behalf of PRINCIPAL under the Patent, and any
Foreign Patents, subject to Section 10B of this Agreement should they be issued,
in the Exclusive Field and the Non-exclusive Field. In its Exclusive Agency
capacity AGENT will identify and contact potential licensees in the Exclusive
Field and the Non-exclusive Field as directed by PRINCIPAL in its reasonable
discretion and negotiate suitable license terms on behalf of PRINCIPAL. It shall
be PRINCIPAL's responsibility to identify potential licensees and notify AGENT
of such. It shall be AGENT's duty to negotiate with potential licensees on
behalf of PRINCIPAL and to notify PRINCIPAL of all parties whom AGENT contacts
or with whom AGENT enters into negotiations with on a bimonthly basis. However,
in accord with Section 10 below, if AGENT becomes aware of any potential
licensees or infringers AGENT is required to notify PRINCIPAL. AGENT agrees to
make reasonable efforts to negotiate licenses with terms and royalty provisions
similar to those in the separate License Agreement between PRINCIPAL and AGENT
or other licenses approved by PRINCIPAL. The final substance of such licenses
shall be subject to the approval of PRINCIPAL in its reasonable discretion and
the principal of all such licenses under this Agreement shall be PRINCIPAL.
Under this Section 2, the AGENT is not granted any authority to bind PRINCIPAL
to the terms of any license agreement with a potential licensee without the
specific, express written approval of PRINCIPAL.

B.   Under this Agreement, any licensing activities, or legal actions taken to
enforce PRINCIPAL's rights against, among other things, patent infringement or
breach of a license agreement or to settle or extinguish claims arising under
such rights shall be at the sole and exclusive discretion of PRINCIPAL. However,
under this Agency, AGENT shall act as a business and technical advisor to
PRINCIPAL and shall participate in the proceeds resulting from such enforcement
actions as specified in Section 2 hereof. In addition, and subject to Sections 2
and 10, AGENT agrees to reimburse PRINCIPAL within 30 days of being invoiced for
all bona-fide third party costs of prosecution of Foreign Patent Rights,
licensing negotiations, and enforcement including but not limited to legal fees
for patent prosecution, licensing and litigation matters including but not
limited to prosecution of infringers, defense of declaratory judgment actions,
and representation in any reexamination proceedings. AGENT may reimburse
PRINCIPAL for legal fees on a contingency basis if competent counsel can be
retained on such terms, but shall reimburse PRINCIPAL for legal fees on an
hourly basis if not. Under all circumstances, the final authority to decide as
to the selection and retention of legal counsel for the prosecution and
enforcement of the Patent, Foreign Patents and all licenses shall be retained by
the PRINCIPAL.

AGENT agrees that initial pursuit of licensees must be evidenced at least by
written correspondence showing notification to potential licensees of the
desirability of a license and acknowledgment from the potential licensee. If the
correspondence is not acknowledged, then attempted contact must be evidenced by
proof of delivery or attempted delivery by Certified Mail or a comparable
delivery means in the jurisdiction. Further, AGENT agrees that it will
demonstrate reasonable pursuit of potential licensees until a license is signed
or further negotiations are deemed futile in the reasonable discretion of
PRINCIPAL. The general form of such contacts shall be at the direction of
PRINCIPAL.

     (ii) [*]

     (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein contained, if PRINCIPAL and AGENT do
not agree in writing in advance that: (a) the terms of a license or settlement
offer are acceptable, (b) that litigation is reasonably required and prudent, or
(c) on the selection of counsel or course of prosecution, then either Party may
give the other notice in writing that it intends to make the Agency non-
exclusive if the Parties still do not agree within 30 days. If after 30 days the
Parties still do not agree, then PRINCIPAL or AGENT may make the agency non-
exclusive by written notice to the other, and in either case the Agency shall
become non-exclusive.

     (iv) [*] and AGENT shall be entitled to receive its compensation in
accordance with Section 2G if PRINCIPAL enters into license agreements with
those parties within 24 months of the Agency [*]

     (v) [*] AGENT is the first to commence discussions with a potential
licensee that subsequently enters into a license agreement with PRINCIPAL [*] of
when AGENT first contacted that potential licensee, then AGENT shall be entitled
to its [*] fee regardless of who finalizes the license agreement with that
licensee.

D.   Renewal of the exclusivity of the Agency shall be automatic as provided in
and subject to Section 2C and 7B above [*]

E. As compensation to Agent for its performance as Exclusive Agent, AGENT shall
receive an agency fee of [*] of royalties collected by PRINCIPAL from all
licenses, settlements or judgments executed [*] Compensation under this Section
2E to Agent shall be paid to AGENT on a monthly basis. [*] For purposes of
calculating compensation to Agent under Section 2E and for this Agreement only,
administrative costs of operating PRINCIPAL shall [*] any calendar year at the
greater of [*] of all royalties, excluding Canada, collected by PRINCIPAL from

H.
     (i) In consideration for the grant of Agency, AGENT shall pay PRINCIPAL:
[*] by wire transfer, or certified or bank check drawn on a U.S. bank and [*]
shares of PARADIGM ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, Inc. (symbol PRAV on the over the
counter market and hereinafter referred to as "PRAV") payable within five (5)
days of endorsement of this Agreement. With the exception of transfers to
related parties for no consideration, such as transfers to majority members or
managers of PRINCIPAL, or gifts to family members of such transferees, PRINCIPAL
agrees not to transfer more than 25,000 shares of PRAV per week for six-months
from the date of this Agreement, but such limitation shall be cumulative so that
shares not transferred in any week can be added to shares transferred in future
weeks. AGENT covenants and warrants that the shares of PRAV transferred to
PRINCIPAL will be freely transferable other than the explicit restrictions
specified in this Section 2H and specifically that said shares will not be not
subject to a mandatory holding period for privately issued stock. AGENT agrees
to show proof of the transferability of said shares in accordance with the terms
of Section 2H(iii) below. AGENT further covenants that if further shares of PRAV
are issued, AGENT will deliver a sufficient number of freely transferable shares
of PRAV to PRINCIPAL so that PRINCIPAL maintains at least the same fractional
equity interest in PRAV as that represented by [*] shares of PRAV on April 24,
1998. The transferability of such additional shares shall be subject to SEC
guidelines, and shall be done in accordance with the terms of Section 2H(iii)
below. In determining whether the shares have been diluted in equity value, the
fraction which must remain constant is that of [*] shares to the sum of the
number of shares outstanding on April 24, 1998, plus PRINCIPAL's [*] shares,
plus the number of options outstanding on April 24, 1998 that are subsequently
exercised. AGENT represents that as of April 24, 1998 them were twenty-four
million shares of PRAV outstanding and options for fifteen million shares of
PRAV outstanding.

     (ii) As additional consideration for this Agency, AGENT shall reimburse
PRINCIPAL for certain costs as specified in Sections 2B, 2C(ii), and 10B of this
Agreement, but not for costs incurred prior to the date hereof.

     (iii) AGENT represents and warrants that it shall have PRINCIPAL's shares
of PRAV registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
and that AGENT shall undertake to do so in an expedient manner. Such
undertakings shall include but not be limited to AGENT preparing the required
registration statements and other required filings pertaining to this issuance
of shares, and sending them to the SEC by overnight courier within seven (7)
days of the effective date of this Agreement. AGENT shall send PRINCIPAL a copy
of the registration, a copy of the airbill, and a letter from AGENT's legal
counsel stating that the registration statements have been duly prepared and
sent to the SEC. AGENT shall send to PRINCIPAL within two business days of
receipt, copies of all correspondence and comments from the SEC pertaining to
the registration of PRINCIPAL's shares and shall notify PRINCIPAL immediately
when the registration is approved. AGENT shall respond to comments and
correspondence from the SEC within five (5) business days of receipt and shall
send AGENT a copy of those responses and proof of delivery by overnight courier.

     (iv) AGENT represents and warrants that PRINCIPAL's shares of PRAV are duly
authorized, validly issued and non-assessable. AGENT further represents to
PRINCIPAL that there are no outstanding orders against AGENT from the SEC that
restrict or prevent AGENT from registering PRINCIPAL's shares of PRAV for
resale.

I.   AGENT recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that it has a fiduciary duty to
PRINCIPAL and agrees to act in PRINCIPAL's best interest at all times.

J.   PRINCIPAL and AGENT agree to respond in a timely manner to any request made
by the other. When the request from AGENT is for approval or direction of
PRINCIPAL, and such responses are not answered within ten business days, any
delay beyond ten business days shall be added to AGENT's time to perform for
that period in accordance with Section 2C(i) above. All written requests shall
be responded to in writing. All verbal requests may be answered either verbally
or in writing at the discretion of the responding party.

K.   Notwithstanding anything else herein contained in this Agreement, the
parties agree to act reasonably at all times between themselves and with all
third parties in the exercise of any discretion, authority, or direction, action
or inaction resulting from this Agreement. However, where PRINCIPAL has
discretion with respect to enforcement or directing the enforcement of the
Patent or Foreign Patents, the application of a standard of reasonableness to
the exercise of discretion shall not be deemed to derogate any such discretion
on the part of PRINCIPAL to select any reasonable option from among any of the
possible reasonable options.

L.   AGENT has the right and PRINCIPAL's consent to deal [ * ] with respect to
any licensing arrangements it wishes to pursue within the Excluded Field.

to other licensee(s) after such licensee(s) become licensed.

F.   All information which PRINCIPAL learns regarding AGENT including but not
limited to AGENT's business information, business plans and confidential
information shall be kept confidential except as authorized by AGENT in writing.

G.   Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party violates the
terms of this Section 6 by disclosing confidential information of a material
nature.

H.   This Section 6 shall survive the termination of exclusivity or
non-exclusivity of the Agency and the termination of this Agreement.

7.  Term and Termination.

A.   Except as otherwise specified herein, this Agreement shall be effective as
of the date first set forth above and shall continue in effect until the
expiration or lapsing of the Patent or any applicable Foreign Patent Rights,
unless the Agreement is terminated in accordance with other express provisions
hereof. PRINCIPAL's obligation to pay and account for amounts due to AGENT shall
terminate at the later of the expiration or lapsing of the Patent, or any
applicable Foreign Patent Rights, and the receipt of the last amounts receivable
accrued under any applicable license, judgment or settlement.

B.   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, PRINCIPAL may terminate
this Agreement if AGENT commits a material breach of its obligations under this
Agreement and fails to use its best efforts to cure such default or violation
within 30 days after written notice from PRINCIPAL and does not so cure within
30 days after said notice. If such default or breach is not reasonably capable
of being cured within 30 days, and AGENT demonstrates that AGENT is proceeding
diligently to cure such default or breach, then AGENT shall have reasonable
additional time to cure.

C.   AGENT shall inform PRINCIPAL of any intention or plan to file a voluntary
petition of bankruptcy, or another party's intention to file an involuntary
petition of bankruptcy against AGENT, in writing at least one hundred (100) days
prior to the filing of any such petition if permitted by law.

10 of 20

*  Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.
<PAGE>

Any such filing or failure to notify as contemplated herein shall not be
considered a material default under this Agreement.

D.   The foregoing notwithstanding, AGENT and PRINCIPAL acknowledge and agree
that monetary damages for any breach or threat of breach of AGENT's or
PRINCIPAL's obligations under Sections 6 and 11 would be inadequate compensation
to the other for such breach or threat of breach and that PRINCIPAL or AGENT
shall, therefore, be entitled to seek and obtain temporary and permanent
injunctive relief for any breach or threat of breach of its obligations under
Sections 6 and 11, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which
PRINCIPAL or AGENT may be entitled under law or equity and without providing the
other party with the opportunity to cure within thirty (30) days as required
under Section 7B above.

E.   If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, under no circumstance will
either party be bound by or liable or responsible for any obligation,
commitment, indemnity, warranty or other agreement of the other party to or with
any third party, nor will either party be liable or responsible for any act or
failure to act of the other party.

F.   Challenge by AGENT of the validity or enforceability of the Patent, or any
Foreign Patent, in any proceeding including but not limited to court
proceedings, administrative agency proceedings or arbitration, shall be
considered a material breach of both this Agreement and AGENT's fiduciary duty
and shall give PRINCIPAL the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon
written notification to AGENT.

G.   If in PRINCIPAL's reasonable discretion, AGENT commits any act, either
voluntary or involuntary, the results of which act either directly or indirectly
place AGENT in a position where AGENT can no longer meet its fiduciary duties to
PRINCIPAL, then PRINCIPAL may terminate this AGREEMENT subject to AGENT's right
to cure in accordance with the terms of Section 7B above. Such acts may include
but are not limited to a takeover of AGENT by a person or entity with adverse
interests to PRINCIPAL, or a change in the management of AGENT which places
persons which have interests adverse to PRINCIPAL in control of AGENT. Provided
however that if such an act is involuntary on the part of AGENT and PRINCIPAL
terminates this Agreement, AGENT's right to collect its compensation shall
continue after termination of this Agreement.

H.   Transfer of Patent Rights or Interest in PRINCIPAL
     (i) PRINCIPAL may in its sole and absolute discretion sell or assign its
interest in the Patent and Foreign Patent Rights. In the event that the buyer or
assignee is a bona-fide unrelated third party and does not elect to assume the
rights and obligations of PRINCIPAL to AGENT under this Agreement. PRINCIPAL may
terminate this Agreement by notifying AGENT in writing and compensating AGENT as
specified in Section 7H(iii). A sale or other disposition of a majority of the
interest in PRINCIPAL to a party other than a bona-fide unrelated third party
shall not give PRINCIPAL the right to terminate this Agreement.

     (ii) In the event that a bona-fide unrelated third party acquires or offers
to purchase a majority of the interest in PRINCIPAL, PRINCIPAL shall have the
right in its discretion to terminate this

11 of 20

*  Confidential portions omitted and filed separately with the Commission.
<PAGE>

Agreement by notifying AGENT in writing and compensating AGENT as specified in
Section 7H(iii). An assignment of PRINCIPAL's interest in the Patent and
Foreign Patent Rights to a party other than a bona-fide unrelated third party
shall not give PRINCIPAL the right to terminate this Agreement.

     (iii) Compensation

     (a)  If this Agreement terminates under Section 7H(i) or 7H(ii) and the
Agency is exclusive at the time of the sale or assignment and:

          if the total consideration paid to PRINCIPAL or the transferors of
          majority interest in PRINCIPAL is less than [   *   ], AGENT shall be
          paid [   *   ] of such consideration; and

          if the total consideration paid to PRINCIPAL or the transferors of
          majority interest in PRINCIPAL is [  *  ] or more, AGENT shall be
          paid the greater of: [  *  ] or [  *  ] of such consideration.

     (b)  If this Agreement terminates under Section 7H(i) or 7H(ii) and the
Agency [*] at the time of the sale or assignment and:

          if the total consideration paid to PRINCIPAL or the transferors of
          majority interest in PRINCIPAL is less than [   *   ], AGENT shall be
          paid [   *   ] of such consideration; and

          if the total consideration paid to PRINCIPAL or the transferors of
          majority interest in PRINCIPAL is [   *   ] or more, AGENT shall be
          paid the greater of:

               [   *   ] or [   *   ] of such consideration if there are
               [   *   ] or more licenses that were entered into during the
               period of AGENT's exclusivity;

               or

               [   *   ] or [   *   ] of such consideration if there are less
               than [   *   ] licenses that were entered into during the
               period of AGENT's exclusivity.

     (c) Payment shall be made at the time of closing. AGENT agrees to accept
payment either in cash, or the equivalent cash value of any non-monetary
consideration as of the date of closing; or in the same form of payment received
by PRINCIPAL or the transferors of majority interest in PRINCIPAL, such
determination to be in the sole discretion of PRINCIPAL. Payment shall include
an adjustment for compensation already due to AGENT for any partial month under
Section 2E or 2G.

1. Agent's compensation shall survive the termination of this Agreement subject
only to PRINCIPAL's right to offset any damages awarded in arbitration.
Notwithstanding the above, if

12 of 20

<PAGE>

this Agreement is terminated because AGENT challenges the validity or
enforceability of the Patent or Foreign Patents by way of court challenge or
reexamination proceeding, or because it is determined in arbitration that AGENT
has committed fraud or misrepresentation with the intent to commit fraud, gross
negligence or an unconscionable act against PRINCIPAL, then AGENT's
compensation shall terminate with the termination of this Agreement.

8. Effect of Waiver.

The failure by PRINCIPAL or AGENT to exercise any of its rights under this
Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute waiver of any of such rights or of
any other rights under this Agreement.

9. Representations and Warranties.

A. EACH PARTY WARRANTS TO THE OTHER THAT IT IS A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR
OTHER LAWFUL ENTITY DULY ORGANIZED AND IN GOOD STANDING UNDER THE LAWS OF ITS
JURISDICTION; AND THAT IT HAS THE NECESSARY CORPORATE OR OTHER POWER AND

OR PENDING OR CONTEMPLATED LITIGATIONS REGARDING THE VALIDITY OF THE PATENT OR
FOREIGN PATENTS.

D. AGENT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS RETAINED ITS OWN LEGAL COUNSEL TO ASSESS THIS
AGREEMENT, THE PATENT AND/OR FOREIGN PATENTS INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY PATENT
VALIDITY, SCOPE AND ENFORCEABILITY AND IS RELYING ON ITS OWN ASSESSMENTS OF SUCH

FROM PRINCIPAL OR PRINCIPAL'S LEGAL COUNSEL WITH REGARD TO MATTERS OF LAW
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FACTUAL OR DOCUMENTARY DATA OR MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE TO
AGENT FOR USE IN MAKING ITS OWN DETERMINATIONS.

10. Prosecution and Infringement

A. Except as otherwise specified, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as imposing on either party any obligation to file any patent
application to secure any patent, to prosecute or maintain in force any patent
application or patent or to seek reissue, reexamination, or an extension of any
patent. PRINCIPAL agrees to insure that the maintenance fees on the Patent and
all Foreign Patents are paid in a timely manner without any cost to AGENT.

B. Notwithstanding Section 10A above, to the extent that it is reasonably
possible, in accord with Section 2B, if PRINCIPAL decides to pursue applications
for Foreign Patent Rights in countries where a new application may still be
made, or in countries where applications have lapsed and may be reinstated, then
PRINCIPAL shall notify AGENT in writing of its intent. AGENT may, but shall not
be obligated to assist PRINCIPAL and its counsel in pursuing applications for
such Foreign Patent Rights and if AGENT elects to do so, AGENT shall reimburse
PRINCIPAL for the cost of preparing and prosecuting such applications within 30
days of being invoiced by PRINCIPAL. If AGENT elects to participate in pursuing
such Foreign Patent Rights, AGENT shall notify PRINCIPAL in writing within 30
days of receiving notice from PRINCIPAL. If AGENT elects to participate,
participates through the completion of the process, and reimburses principal for
the cost of prosecuting such Foreign Patent Rights, and such Foreign Patents
issue, this Agreement shall apply to those Foreign Patent Rights and to
licensing activities in those countries; however, AGENT's exclusive Agency for
those Foreign Patents shall be for a period of at least two years from the time
such Foreign Patents issue. However, if AGENT does not notify PRINCIPAL in
writing within 30 days of receiving notice from PRINCIPAL, or if AGENT elects to
participate, and does not participate through the completion of the process or
does not reimburse PRINCIPAL for the cost of prosecuting such Foreign Patent
Rights, then this Agreement shall not apply to those Foreign Patents if they
issue, and AGENT shall have no rights to represent PRINCIPAL in those countries
or collect compensation on licensing activities, settlements, and or judgements
in those countries; however, it shall not be considered an act of default by
AGENT under this Agreement. Notwithstanding, but subject to this Section 10B,
AGENT hereby agrees to participate in the prosecution of patents in [*] and no
further notice shall be required from either party with respect to these [*]
applications [*].

C. AGENT and PRINCIPAL agree to assist, cooperate with and provide information
and documents to each other in connection with any dispute regarding the
validity, enforceability, scope or infringement of the Patent and any Foreign
Patents.

D. AGENT agrees not to voluntarily assist, cooperate with or provide information
and documents to third parties in connection with any dispute with third parties
regarding the validity, enforceability, scope or infringement of the Patent or
any Foreign Patents. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit or
inhibit AGENT from complying with orders by courts of competent jurisdiction or
in responding reasonably to any subpoena which AGENT reasonably believes to be
in accordance with law. However, AGENT must give PRINCIPAL notice of any such
orders of courts or subpoenas within [*] hours of their receipt exclusive of
Saturdays, Sundays and United States or Canadian holidays, and allow PRINCIPAL
the opportunity to file motions relating to such orders of courts or subpoenas
prior to responding. Notwithstanding the above, if the hearing date for such
court orders or subpoenas is within [*] days or less of receipt by AGENT, then
notice must be provided to PRINCIPAL's legal counsel within [*] hours of receipt
by AGENT, but notice to PRINCIPAL may be made within [*] hours as
specified above.

E. If AGENT becomes aware of any infringement or potential infringement of the
Patent or any Foreign Patents, whether in the Exclusive Field or Non-exclusive
Field or Excluded Field, or becomes aware of any goods or activities which would
be a potential infringement if the goods or products of the activities were
imported into a jurisdiction in which they would be covered by the Patent or any
Foreign Patents, AGENT will immediately notify PRINCIPAL in writing. If AGENT is
threatened with any claim or suit or becomes the subject of any legal action
challenging or concerning the Patent or any Foreign Patents or the making, using
or selling of anything covered by any claim of the Patent or any Foreign
Patents, AGENT will immediately notify PRINCIPAL in writing. AGENT agrees that
PRINCIPAL is under no obligation to AGENT to institute suit against any
infringer, or to defend any suit or action brought by a third party which
challenges or concerns the validity or enforceability of the Patent. AGENT shall
have no right to institute suit against any infringer or to defend any suit or
action brought by a third party which challenges or concerns the validity or
enforceability of the Patent or any Foreign Patents.

F. With respect to any suit or action relating to infringement, validity or
enforceability of the Patent or any Foreign Patents. PRINCIPAL shall have the
option, but is under no obligation, to bring or defend or to assume the
prosecution or defense of such suit or action.

G. If required by law or if under the advice of PRINCIPAL's legal counsel it is
in the best interest of PRINCIPAL, AGENT agrees to be joined as a named co-
plaintiff or co-defendant in any suit or action involving the Patent or any
Foreign Patents, and PRINCIPAL shall reimburse AGENT for AGENT's legal fees
related to such suit or action.

H. PRINCIPAL shall have no obligation to institute or participate in any
interference, opposition, re-examination or re-issue proceedings relating to the
Patent or any Foreign Patents. AGENT shall not institute or participate in any

I. [   *   ] and PRINCIPAL, PRINCIPAL agrees that it will undertake to defend
any suit or action which challenges or concerns this Agreement, or the validity
or enforceability of the Patent, provided that AGENT notifies PRINCIPAL in
writing that it will reimburse PRINCIPAL for the costs of such defense, and
PRINCIPAL agrees to maintain such defense provided that AGENT continues to
reimburse PRINCIPAL for those expenses within 30 days of being invoiced by
PRINCIPAL.

J. AGENT shall be under no obligation to reimburse PRINCIPAL for any costs
incurred prior to the effective date of this Agreement; or subject to Section
2C(iii) from this date forward unless AGENT consents to such costs in writing in
advance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
above, AGENT agrees to reimburse PRINCIPAL for the legal cost incurred by
PRINCIPAL in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and a separate
license agreement between AGENT and PRINCIPAL, which collectively shall not
exceed [*], and subject to Section 2C(ii) to reimburse PRINCIPAL for the
cost of defending any court or administrative challenges to the Patent or
Foreign Patents.

K. PRINCIPAL agrees not to sue AGENT for reasonable actions taken by AGENT if
those actions were reasonably taken by AGENT under the direction or instruction
of PRINCIPAL under this Agreement unless AGENT acts negligently or outside the
scope of its authority.

11. Conformance with Applicable Laws.

AGENT and PRINCIPAL agree not to knowingly perform acts or execute contracts
which jeopardize the enforceability of the Patent or the Foreign Patents under
any law of the applicable jurisdiction. In addition AGENT and PRINCIPAL agree
not to commit acts of fraud or misrepresentation with respect to PRINCIPAL or in
activities on behalf of PRINCIPAL including but not limited to activities with
regard to the Patent and any Foreign Patent Rights.

12. Assignability.

This Agreement, and the Agency granted herein, may not be assigned by AGENT
without prior written approval of PRINCIPAL, such approval not to be withheld
unreasonably. Subject to Section 7H hereof, PRINCIPAL has the absolute right to
assign this Agreement and to assign its rights under this Agreement, in whole or
in part, at any time without AGENT's consent. PRINCIPAL agrees to notify AGENT
of the assignment but such notification is not a condition on assignability.
AGENT shall have no right to object to the assignment. Unless this Agreement is
terminated in accordance with Section 7H(i), prior to such assignment taking
place PRINCIPAL agrees to obtain from assignee an undertaking to assume the
obligations of PRINCIPAL to AGENT under this Agreement and shall deliver a copy
of this undertaking to AGENT with the notice of assignment at the time of such
assignment.

13. Trademarks.

Except in connection with the negotiation of licenses by either party, nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon either party the right
or duty to include in advertising, packaging, or other commercial activity any
reference to the other party, its trademarks, trade names, service marks, or
other trade identity in any manner.

14. Right of PRINCIPAL to License.

Under this Agreement, PRINCIPAL retains the right to contact negotiate and enter
into non-exclusive licenses with any and all other parties, including
competitors of AGENT; however, subject to the termination of AGENT's exclusive
rights as contemplated in Section 2, AGENT shall be entitled to its compensation
on such licenses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if PRINCIPAL
enters into any such licenses when the Agency is non-exclusive. During the
period of exclusivity, PRINCIPAL agrees not to interfere with AGENT's license
negotiations unless requested to do so by AGENT. If PRINCIPAL meets or
communicates with potential licensees at the request of AGENT, or after AGENT
has notified PRINCIPAL of an impasse in negotiations, it shall not be considered
an interference with AGENT's negotiations.

15. Retention of Counsel and Waiver of Conflicts.

A. [      *     ] shall at the discretion of PRINCIPAL continue to be legal
counsel to PRINCIPAL for enforcing the patent, and enforcement will be conducted
according to their recommendations. AGENT covenants to waive any conflicts of
interest so that [*] can continue to represent PRINCIPAL and Paul Lagassey in
the event of any disputes between PRINCIPAL and AGENT. Further, if PRINCIPAL
retains other counsel in the future, AGENT covenants to waive any conflicts of
interest in the same fashion as described in this Section 15A so that PRINCIPAL
may retain the counsel of its choice.

B. AGENT waives any and all conflicts of interest that may arise from
affiliation of members or managers of PRINCIPAL with AGENT as an officer or
director of AGENT, or from participation by members or managers of PRINCIPAL in
the business activities of AGENT. AGENT covenants that it will maintain, at its
expense, director's liability insurance in an amount of at least $10 million on
behalf of any manager, member or other party designated by PRINCIPAL to become a
director of AGENT under Section 2F.

17. Agency Solely as Detailed.

Except as specified in Section 2 herein, nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, agent, or
employer/employee of the other. Neither party shall have the authority to make
any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any
action, which shall be binding on the other, except and unless as expressly and

the Agreement. The parties agree that enumerations of certain acts or omissions
as material breaches are illustrative and not exclusive.

19. Severability.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all provisions of
this Agreement are hereby limited to the extent mandated by any applicable law,
and shall only apply to and be effective where such provisions are legal and
enforceable. If any provision or portion of this Agreement is determined by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and
such determination shall become final, to that extent and within the
jurisdiction in which it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision or
portion shall be deemed to be severed and deleted herefrom and the remaining
provisions shall survive and continue to be enforced so as to give effect to the
intentions of the parties insofar as that is possible, as if this Agreement had
been written without such provision.

seek arbitration. Either party has the authority to initiate the arbitration
process 30 days after such notice is given. PRINCIPAL's right to obtain
temporary or permanent injunctive relief under Section 7D shall not be subject
to arbitration; however, the final determination as to termination or monetary
damages shall be subject to arbitration whether or not PRINCIPAL obtains such
injunctive relief. There shall be no arbitration to determine whether a
challenge by AGENT of the validity or enforceability of the Patent or Foreign
Patents by way of court challenge or reexamination is a material breach of this
Agreement in accord with Section 7F. All arbitration under this Agreement shall
be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association as then existing in New York, New York, and judgment upon the
determination rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. However,

above to PRINCIPAL prior to the termination of a separate agreement between the
parties titled "Agreement for Extension of Period to Negotiate and Complete Due
Diligence" (the "Extension Agreement") dated [*] and executed by the parties [*]

          determined on a pro-rata basis based upon the number of Series F
          Preferred Shares issued (the "MAXIMUM SHARE ISSUANCE AMOUNTS").

          For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, the following terms
          shall have the following meanings:

                    (i) "CONVERSION PRICE" Means, as of any date of
               determination, the amount obtained by multiplying the Conversion
               Percentage (as defined below) in effect as of such date by the

               the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such

               the arithmetic average of the Closing Bid Prices (as defined
               below) for such security for each trading day in such period;

                    (iv) "CLOSING BID PRICE" Means, for any security as of any
               date, the last closing bid price on the Nasdaq National Market

               date shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined in
               good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (all as
               appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or
