<PAGE>

                  (p) Listing. The Company's common stock is quoted on the
Bulletin Board. The Company has not received any oral or written notice that its
common stock is not eligible nor will become ineligible for quotation on the
Bulletin Board nor that its common stock does not meet all requirements for the

Date, the Company will satisfy all the requirements for the continued quotation
of its common stock on the Bulletin Board.

                  (q) No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no liabilities
or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate, which are
not disclosed in the Reports , other than those incurred in the ordinary course
of the Company's businesses since December 31, 2003 and which, individually or
in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition, other than as set forth in Schedule 4(q).

                  (r) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since December 31,
2003, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports. The Company further confirms

4(d), there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities,
rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right
to subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any right to
participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
issue and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares
of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than the Subscribers)
and will not result in a right of any holder of securities of the Company to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities.
All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have been duly and
validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws and none of such

rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

                  (t) Dilution. The Company's executive officers and directors
understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the
issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity
holdings of other holders of the Company's equity or rights to receive equity of
the Company. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good
faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best
interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its
obligation to issue the Securities 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 or parties entitled to receive equity of the
Company.

                  (u) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are
no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by
the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers
formerly or presently employed by the Company, including but not limited to
disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers.

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its
business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  (w) Labor Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to
the knowledge of the company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees
of the Company which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonable be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct
their respective businesses as described in the Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and
neither the company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificates,
authorizations and permits.

                  (y) Title to Assets. Except as set forth in the Reports, the
Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case free and clear of all
security interests, charges, liens, claims or other encumbrances, except for

materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
by the Company and its subsidiaries and liens for the payment of federal, state
or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to
penalties. Except as set forth in the Reports, any real property and facilities
held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable eases with which the Company and its
subsidiaries are in material compliance.

and its subsidiaries, the Company and the subsidiaries have, or have rights to
use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that
are necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses
as described in the Reports and which the failure to so have, individually or in
the aggregate, could have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual Property Rights"). Neither the

agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner, in each case in excess of $60,000 other than (a) for payment of salary
or consulting fees for services rendered, (b) reimbursement for expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company and (c) for other employee benefits, including
stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.

                  (ab) Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and its
subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company
and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its subsidiaries, is made known
to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which the Company's Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is
being prepared. The Company's certifying officers evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company's controls and procedures as of the end of December 31, 2003. The
Company presented in its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 the
conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure
controls and procedures based on their evaluation. Since December 31, 2003,
there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as
such term is defined in Item 307 of Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act) or,
to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company's internal controls.

                  (ac) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company's certificate of incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Subscribers as a result of the Subscribers and
the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the
Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company's issuance of
the Securities and the Subscribers' ownership of the Securities.

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

                  (ae) Registration Rights. Except pursuant to the Transaction
Documents and as set forth on Schedule 4(ae), no person has any right to cause
the Company to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of any securities of
the Company.

                  (af) Form SB-2 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to
register the resale of its Common Stock by the Subscribers under Form SB-2
promulgated under the 1933 Act.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  (ag) Taxes. Except for matters that would not individually or
in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and its subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and have paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any subsidiary.

                  (ah) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to
the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the
Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any corrupt funds for unlawful
contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to
foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to
foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or
domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to
disclosure fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person
acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of
law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

                  (ai) Accountants. To the best of the Company's knowledge, J.H.
Cohn, LLP are independent accountants.

                  (aj) Acknowledgment Regarding Subscribers' Purchase of
Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Subscribers is
acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
further acknowledges that no Subscriber is acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any
Subscriber or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely
incidental to the Subscribers' purchase of the Securities. The Company further
represents to each Subscriber that the Company's decision to enter into this
Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

                  (ak) Correctness of Representations. The Company understands
and confirms that the Subscribers will rely on the foregoing representations and
covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company
represents that the foregoing representations and warranties, including the
Disclosure Schedules and all other disclosure provided to the Subscribers
regarding the Company are (i) true and correct as of the date hereof in all
material respects, and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Subscribers
prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of the Closing Date and (ii) do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

                  (al) Survival. The foregoing representations and warranties
shall survive the Closing Date and delivery of the Shares.

            5. Regulation D Offering. The offer and issuance of the Securities
to the Subscribers is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration
provisions of the 1933 Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506
of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company will
provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to Subscriber from the Company's legal
counsel opining on the availability of an exemption from registration under the
1933 Act as it relates to the offer and issuance of the Securities and other
matters reasonably requested by Subscribers. A form of the legal opinion is
annexed hereto as Exhibit C. The Company will provide, at

                                       10
<PAGE>

the Company's expense, such other legal opinions in the future as are reasonably
necessary for the resale of the Common Stock and exercise of the Warrants and
resale of the Warrant Shares.

            6. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay to counsel for 033 Asset
Management, LLC fees up to but not in excess of $30,000 in the aggregate as
reimbursement for services rendered to 033 Asset Management, LLC in connection
with this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants (the
"Offering").

            7. Placement Agent. The Company on the one hand, and each Subscriber
(for itself only) on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and
hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming
brokerage commissions or finder's fees (each a "Placement Agent") other than as
set forth below on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf
of and to the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party's actions.
Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, each Subscriber is
providing indemnification only for such Subscriber's own actions and not for any
action of any other Subscriber. Each Subscriber's liability hereunder is several
and not joint. The Company represents that there are no parties entitled to
receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering
except Merriman Curhan Ford & Co., P.C. in the amount designated on Schedule 7
("Placement Agent's Fee").

            8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with
the Subscribers as follows:

                  (a) Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Subscribers,
promptly after it receives notice of issuance by the Commission, any state
securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of
any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the
Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the
Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any
proceeding for any such purpose.

                  (b) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of
the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant Shares upon each national securities
exchange, or automated quotation system upon which they are or become eligible
for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such
listing so long as any Shares or Warrants are outstanding. The Company will
maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market System, Bulletin Board, or New York
Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading
exchange or market for the Common Stock (the "Principal Market")), and will
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable. As
soon as commercially reasonable after becoming eligible to list its Common Stock
on a national securities exchange or the automated quotation system of a
national securities association (including, without limitation the New York
Stock Exchange and Nasdaq National Market), the Company will promptly obtain
such listing and maintain such listing so long as any Shares or Warrants are
outstanding. The Company will provide the Subscribers copies of all notices it
receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the
Common Stock from any Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, the Bulletin Board is and will be the Principal Market. The
Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded
on any other trading exchange or market other than the Principal Market, it will
include in such application the Shares and Warrant Shares and will take such
other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Subscribers to
cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other trading exchange
or market as promptly as possible.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                  (c) Market Regulations. The Company shall notify the
Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance
with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and
permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid
issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers and promptly provide copies
thereof to Subscriber.

                  (d) Reporting Requirements. From the date of this Agreement
and until all the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by
all the Subscribers pursuant to the registration statement described in Section
2 of the Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Statement") or
pursuant to Rule 144 (the "Expiration Date"), without regard to volume
limitation, the Company will (v) cause its Common Stock to continue to be
registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act, (x) comply in all
respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the 1934 Act, (y)
comply with all reporting requirements that are applicable to an issuer with a
class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act,
as applicable, and (z) comply with all requirements related to any registration
statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including
maintaining the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Upon the request of
any holder of Securities, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
the preceding sentence. The Company will use its best efforts not to take any
action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the 1933 Act or the
1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or
to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts
until the Expiration Date. Until the resale of the Common Stock and the Warrant
Shares by each Subscriber, the Company will use its best efforts to continue the
listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market or other market
with the reasonable consent of Subscribers holding a majority of the Shares and
Warrant Shares, and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting,
filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.
The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required
under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Subscriber promptly
after such filing.

                  (e) Use of Proceeds. The Company undertakes to use the
proceeds of the Subscribers' funds for working capital including use in
strategic acquisitions and shall not use such proceeds for the satisfaction of
any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables in the
ordinary course of the Company's business and prior practices), to redeem any
Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding
litigation.

                  (f) Reservation. As of the date hereof, the Company has
reserved and undertakes to reserve, pro rata on behalf of each Subscriber and
holder of a Warrant, from its authorized but unissued common stock, a number of
common shares equal to the amount of Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, free of preemptive rights; provided however, that such
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall be adjusted, as appropriate,
in the event that the Company shall combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a lesser number of shares, subdivide the shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares or issue additional shares of Common Stock as a
dividend or other distribution.

                  (g) Taxes. From the date of this Agreement and until all the
Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all the Subscribers
pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, without regard
to volume limitations, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to
be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have
set

                                       12
<PAGE>

aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefore.

                  (h) Insurance. From the date of this Agreement until all the
Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all the Subscribers
pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, without regard
to volume limitations, the Company will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against
loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by
companies in the Company's line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Company from becoming a co-insurer, that are prudent and customary in the
businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged and not in any
event less than 100% of 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.

                  (i) Books and Records. From the date of this Agreement until
all the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all the
Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144,
without regard to volume limitations, 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.

                  (j) Governmental Authorities. From the date of this Agreement
until all the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all
the Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144,
without regard to volume limitations, the Company shall duly observe and conform
in all material respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities
relating to the conduct of its business or to its properties or assets.

                  (k) Intellectual Property. From the date of this Agreement
until all the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all
the Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144,
without regard to volume limitations, 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.

                  (l) Properties. From the date of this Agreement until all the
Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold or transferred by all the Subscribers
pursuant to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, without regard
to volume limitation, the Company will keep its properties in good repair,
working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to
time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions
and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each
provision of all leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies
property if the breach of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect.

                  (m) Blackout. The Company undertakes and covenants that until
the first to occur of (i) the Registration Statement having been effective for
ninety (90) business days, or (ii) until all the Shares and Warrant Shares have
been resold pursuant to said registration statement, the Company will not enter
into any acquisition, merger, exchange or sale or other transaction, that could
have the effect of

                                       13
<PAGE>

delaying the effectiveness of the pending Registration Statement or causing an
already effective registration statement to no longer be effective or current.

                  (n) Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Subscribers or
that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.

                  (o) Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall,
by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the business day following the Closing Date, issue
a press release or file a Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case reasonably
acceptable to each Subscriber disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby
and make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the
Commission. The Company and 033 Asset Management, LLC shall consult with each
other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Subscriber shall issue any
such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior
consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Subscriber, or
without the prior consent of each Subscriber, with respect to any press release
of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such
disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or
communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly
disclose the name of any Subscriber, or include the name of any Subscriber in
any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading exchange or
market, without the prior written consent of such Subscriber, except (i) as
required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or the Principal Market's regulations, in which
case the Company shall provide the Subscribers with prior notice of such
disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).

                  (p) Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or
enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Subscriber is an "Acquiring
Person" under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in
effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Subscriber could be
deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of
receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other
agreement between the Company and the Subscribers.

                  (q) Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any
Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such
Subscriber shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (r) Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until 90
days after the effective date of the Registration Statement, neither the Company
nor any subsidiary shall issue additional shares of Common Stock or any other
securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder
thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, this Section 8(r) shall not apply to the following (a)
the granting of options to employees, officers and directors of the Company
pursuant to any stock option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of
a committee

                                       14
<PAGE>

of non-employee directors established for such purpose, or (b) the exercise of
any security issued by the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the
Company's securities pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) the exercise of or
conversion of any convertible securities, options or warrants issued and
outstanding on the date hereof or issued pursuant to clause (a) above, provided
such securities have not been amended since the date hereof, or (d)
acquisitions.

                  (s) Reimbursement. If any Subscriber becomes involved in any
capacity in any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding by or against
any person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales,
pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by such Subscriber to or with any
current stockholder), in connection with such Subscriber's acquisition of the
Securities under this Agreement, as a result of any act, action or non-action by
the Company, and not as a result of any bad act on the part of the Subscriber,
the Company will reimburse such Subscriber for its reasonable legal and other
expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in
connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are
incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph
shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have,
shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the
Subscribers who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation,
and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as
the case may be, of the Subscribers and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company, the Subscribers and any such Affiliate and any
such person. The Company also agrees that neither the Subscribers nor any such
Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall
have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or
in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under
this Agreement.

            9. Covenants of the Company and Subscriber Regarding
Indemnification.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse
and defend the Subscribers, the Subscribers' officers, directors, agents,
affiliates, control persons, and shareholders (each a "Subscriber Party"),
against any claim, contingency, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and
reasonable legal fees and costs of investigation) of any nature, incurred by or
imposed upon a Subscriber Party which results, arises out of or is based upon
(i) any misrepresentation by Company or breach or inaccuracy, or any allegation
by a third party that, if true, would constitute a breach or inaccuracy, of any
representation or warranty by Company in this Agreement, the Schedules attached
hereto or any other Transaction Document; (ii) any breach or default in
performance by the Company of any covenant, agreement or undertaking to be
performed by the Company hereunder or pursuant to any other Transaction
Document; or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
such Subscriber Party and arising solely out of or solely resulting from the
execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, which does not directly result from the negligence,
misconduct or other bad act of the Subscribers. The Company will reimburse such
Subscriber for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of
any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in
connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.

                  (b) Each Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless,
reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's officers, directors,
agents, affiliates, control persons against any claim, cost, expense, liability,
obligation, loss or damage (including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs, reasonable legal fees and costs of investigation) of
any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Company or any such person which
results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by
such Subscriber in this Agreement or Schedules attached hereto; or (ii) after

                                       15
<PAGE>

any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance
by such Subscriber of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by such
Subscriber hereunder.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim
indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the commencement
of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such
Indemnified Party (an "Indemnifying Party"), 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(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which
it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 9(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 reasonably 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(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified
Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees,
costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the parties in
any such action (including any impleaded parties) 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 Party 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. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending action in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an

                  (d) The Company covenants to enter into the Registration

            10. Transfer Restrictions.

                  (a) Transfers. The Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of a Subscriber or in connection with
a pledge as contemplated in this Section 10, the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by
the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the 1933 Act. As a condition
of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Subscriber under this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  (b) Shares Legend. The Subscribers agree to the imprinting, so
long as is required by this Section 10(b), of a legend on the Shares and the
Warrant Shares, in substantially the following form:

            "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
            UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SHARES MAY NOT
            BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF
            AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACT OR ANY
            APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
            SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED,
            EXCEPT THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
            BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OF THE HOLDER WITH A REGISTERED
            BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN OF THE HOLDER WITH A FINANCIAL
            INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE
            501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT."

                  (c) Warrants Legend. The Subscribers agree to the imprinting,
so long as is required by this Section 10, of a legend on the Warrants, in
substantially the following form:

            "THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
            OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
            1933, AS AMENDED. THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
            ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
            SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
            REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT UNDER SAID ACT OR ANY
            APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
            SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED,
            EXCEPT THAT THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A
            BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OF THE HOLDER WITH A REGISTERED
            BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN OF THE HOLDER WITH A FINANCIAL
            INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN RULE
            501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT"

                  (d) Margin Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that
a Subscriber may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin
agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some
or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act and, if required under
the terms of such arrangement, such Subscriber may transfer pledged or secured
Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would
not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel
of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the
appropriate Subscriber's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge

                                       17
<PAGE>

or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the 1933 Act or other
applicable provision of the 1933 Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling
Stockholders thereunder.

                  (e) Certificates. Certificates evidencing the Shares and
Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in
Sections 10(b) and (c)), (i) while a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under
the 1933 Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares
pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause
its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company's transfer agent promptly
after the effective date of the Registration Statement if required by the
Company's transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder as and
when any Subscriber so requests. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised
at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale
of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.
The Company agrees that following the effective date of the Registration
statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this
Section 10, it will, no later than five business days following the delivery by
a Subscriber to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate
representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a
restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Subscriber a
certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section. In addition to such Subscriber's other
available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Subscriber, in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant
Shares (based on the last reported closing bid price per share of Common Stock
on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company's transfer agent, or if
there is no such price on such date, then the closing bid price on the date
nearest preceding such date) subject to this Section 10, $10 per business day
(increasing to $20 per business day five (5) business days after such damages
have begun to accrue) for each business day after such fifth business day until
such certificate is delivered. Nothing herein shall limit such Subscriber's
right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates
representing any Securities, and such Subscriber shall have the right to pursue
all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

                  (f) Acknowledgement. Each Subscriber severally and not jointly
agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 10 is predicated upon the Company's
reliance that the Subscriber will sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

            11. Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company. The
obligations of the Company are subject to the fulfillment prior to or on the
Closing Date of the following conditions any of which may be waived by the

            (a) On or prior to the Filing Date the Company shall prepare and

      Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to
      Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be initially on Form SB-2, and

      use Form S-3 (or any successor form) to register the Registrable
      Securities, the Company shall prepare and file a Registration Statement
      covering the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and, upon effectiveness of

      efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under
      the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but

      its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective
      under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when
      (i) all Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) all Registrable
      Securities may be sold immediately without registration under the
      Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as
      determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion

      agent and the affected Holders (the "Effectiveness Period").

            (b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to
      the Filing Date (if the Company files a Registration Statement without
      affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as
      required by Section 3(a), the Company shall not be deemed to have
      satisfied clause (i)); (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission
      a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under
      the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company
      is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission
      that a Registration Statement will not be "reviewed," or not subject to
      further review; (iii) prior to its Effectiveness Date, the Company fails
      to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to
      comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement
      within 10 Trading Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the
      Commission that such amendment is required in order for a Registration
      Statement to be declared effective; (iv) the Registration Statement is not
      declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; or (v)
      after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by
      the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by
      suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is
      required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the
      Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional
      registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of

                                       3
<PAGE>

      time which shall exceed 20 days in the aggregate per year or more than 10
      consecutive calendar days, (any such failure or breach being referred to
      as an "Event," and for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the date on which
      such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such
      five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii) the
      date which such 10 Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of
      clause (v) the date which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the
      case may be) is exceeded, then until the applicable Event is cured, the
      Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages
      and not as a penalty, equal to 2.0% for each thirty (30) day period
      (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original amount
      invested by the Purchaser in the Registrable Securities. While such Event
      continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each
      thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an
      Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three (3) days
      following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company. If
      the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section
      in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay
      interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount
      that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing
      daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts,
      plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

            (c) Within three business days of the date on which the Registration
      Statement becomes effective, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue
      a blanket opinion to the transfer agent stating that the shares are
      subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of
      restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation
      by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery
      requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent
      orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn.

      3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under
the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

            (a) in any event not less than five Trading Days prior to the filing
      of each Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment
      or supplement thereto (excluding any document that would be incorporated
      or deemed incorporated therein by reference), (i) furnish to each Holder
      copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other
      than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be
      subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and
      directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond
      to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of
      respective counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation within the
      meaning of the Securities Act; the Company shall not file the Registration
      Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or

                                       4
<PAGE>

      supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
      Securities shall reasonably and in good faith object;

            (b) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement
      with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as
      possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its best
      efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective
      for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto as soon as reasonably
      practicable, and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings
      and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

            (c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including
      post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement
      and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to
      comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
      disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
      Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the
      expiration of the Effectiveness Period; respond as promptly as reasonably
      possible, and in any event within 15 Trading Days to any comments received
      from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any
      amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the
      Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
      Commission relating to any amendment; and comply in all material respects
      with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with
      respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the
      Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
      intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the
      Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so
      supplemented;

            (d) promptly furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the
      Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each
      preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as the
      Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or
      disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
      Statement; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus
      and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in
      connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
      covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except
      after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(g);

            (e) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser's
      Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the
      securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions within the United
      States as the Purchaser may reasonably request among those jurisdictions
      in which registration or qualification is necessary to permit resale of
      the Registrable Securities by Purchaser, including without limitation
      Massachusetts, New York and California, provided, however, that the
      Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally

                                       5
<PAGE>

      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;

            (f) list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
      Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the
      Company is then listed;

            (g) immediately notify the Purchaser (and, in the case of (i)(A)
      below, not less than two Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if
      requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing promptly
      following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
      post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be
      filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be
      a "review" of the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission
      comments in writing on the Registration Statement (the Company shall upon
      request provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses
      thereto to each of the Holders); and (C) with respect to the Registration
      Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
      effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or
      state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the
      Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration
      Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the
      issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
      authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
      Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities
      or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt
      by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
      qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
      Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening
      of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event
      or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in the
      Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement
      made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document
      incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in
      any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration
      Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the
      Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
      contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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;

            (h) use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance
      of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the
      qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
      Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable
      moment;

            (i) if requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to
      facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
      representing Registrable

                                       6
<PAGE>

      Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration
      Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends,
      and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and
      registered in such names as any such Holders may request;

            (j) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
      3(g)(v), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or
      amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration
      Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
      incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file
      any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the
      Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit 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;

            (k) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
      Commission; and

            (l) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney,
      accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, 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 attorney,
      accountant or agent of the Purchaser.

      4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company's
compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, 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 Holders (to the extent such counsel is required due to Company's
failure to meet any of its obligations hereunder), fees and expenses of any
special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing or quotation, as
appropriate of the Registrable Securities are called "Registration Expenses".
All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities,
including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders
beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called "Selling Expenses."
The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.

      5. Indemnification.

            (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities
      under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will,
      notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement indemnify and hold
      harmless each Purchaser,

                                       7
<PAGE>

      and its officers, directors, agents employees and each other person, if
      any, who controls each Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act,
      and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling
      person, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
      several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons 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 were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
      Agreement, 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 Purchaser, and each such
      person for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including without
      limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) 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 or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person
      in writing specifically for use in any such document.

            (b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities
      under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchasers,
      severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
      and its officers, directors, agents, employees and each other person, if
      any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
      against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or
      such persons 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 which was furnished in
      writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such
      information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such
      Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant
      to this Agreement, 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 person for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including without
      limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by them in connection with
      investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
      action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable 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 so made in conformity
      with information furnished in writing to the

                                       8
<PAGE>

      Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such
      document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser
      shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the
      amount of the aggregate net proceeds actually received by the Purchaser in
      respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration
      under the Securities Act.

            (c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim
      indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the
      commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for
      indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto
      obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an "Indemnifying Party"),
      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
      5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to
      such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(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 reasonably
      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 5(c) for any legal
      expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
      with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own
      counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses
      of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the parties in any such
      action (including any impleaded parties) 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 Party 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. The Indemnifying Party
      shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without
      its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No
      Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
      Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending action in respect
      of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes
      an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on
      claims that are the subject matter of such action.

                                       9
<PAGE>

            (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the
      event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which
      either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person
      of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
      Section 5 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 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
      contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the
      Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser
      in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section
      5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will
      contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
      which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
      proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
      Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
      statements or omissions that resulted in such liability. The relative
      fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined
      by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
      including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
      omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made
      by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or
      Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
      information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement
      or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), (A) the
      Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
      amount of the proceeds actually received by such Purchaser from the sale
      of the Registrable Securities; 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.

      6. Representations and Warranties.

            (a) The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to
      Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, the Company has timely
      filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and
      other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The
      Company has filed or will file (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
      the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on
      Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 (collectively, the
      "SEC Reports"). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, 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 filing 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. The financial statements of the Company included in
      the SEC Reports comply as to form in all

                                       10
<PAGE>

      material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
      published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable
      rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have
      been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except
      (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
      notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
      extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly
      present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of
      operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a
      consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC
      Report.

            (b) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq OTC
      Bulletin Board Market and satisfies all requirements for the continuation
      of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its Common
      Stock will be delisted or that the Common Stock does not meet all
      requirements for the continuation of such listing.

            (c) Neither the Company, nor 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
      the Subscription Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the
      Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company
      from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities
      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.

            (d) The Registrable Securities are all restricted securities under
      the Securities Act 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 Registrable Securities at such time as such
      Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from
      registration is available, except as required by federal or state
      securities laws.

            (e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities
      issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant and recognizes that the issuance
      of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The
      Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the
      Registrable Securities 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.

            (f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business,
      there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an
      exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by
      the Company under

                                       11
<PAGE>

      the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have
      a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or
      would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to
      enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any
      material respect.

            (g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
      sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full exercise of the
      Warrants.

      7. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a
      Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each
      Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled
      to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including
      recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
      rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that
      monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses
      incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
      Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
      specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense
      that a remedy at law would be adequate.

            (b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of
      its security holders may include securities of the Company in a
      Registration Statement except for (i) the Registrable Securities and (ii)
      as set forth on Schedule 4(ae) to the Subscription Agreement, and the
      Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing
      any such right to any of its security holders. The Company shall not file
      any other registration statement until after the effective date of the
      Registration Statement.

            (c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply
      with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
      applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities
      pursuant to the Registration Statement.

            (d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition
      of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the
      Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below),
      such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
      Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder's
      receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended
      Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by
      the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and,
      in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental
      filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in
      such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company will use its best
      efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be

                                       12
<PAGE>

      resumed as promptly as is practicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a
      "Discontinuation Event" shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the
      Company whether there will be a "review" of such Registration Statement
      and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
      Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and
      all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by
      the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
      amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or
      for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any
      stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement
      covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any
      Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any
      notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
      exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
      in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
      for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of
      time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration
      Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such
      Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or
      deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material
      respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement,
      Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration
      Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any
      untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
      required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
      in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

            (e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the
      Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement
      covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine
      to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating
      to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
      Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or
      Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then
      equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in
      connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity
      securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
      benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice
      of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such
      notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall
      include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable
      Securities such holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company
      may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as
      of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks
      applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining
      any required the consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion
      under such registration statement.

            (f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
      including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or

                                       13
<PAGE>

      supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions
      hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
      the Company and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding
      Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
      to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
      exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or
      indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of
      at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or
      consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence
      may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with
      the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

      and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a
      copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with

      irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
      and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or

      covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
      effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the
      parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an
      alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as
      that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is
      hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
      they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and
      restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared

                              Plan of Distribution

            The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

      o     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
            broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

      o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
            shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block
            as principal to facilitate the transaction;

      o     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
            broker-dealer for its account;

      o     an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
            applicable exchange;

      o     privately negotiated transactions;

      o     settlement of short sales;

      o     broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a
            specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

      o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and

      o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

      The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The
selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed
what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

      The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security
interest in some or all of the Shares or common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under
this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of
selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in
interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

<PAGE>

      The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.

      The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have
informed the Company that none of them have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

      The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the
Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to
indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
