Agent or any of their respective controlling Persons, officers, directors,
partners, agents and employees or any of their respective attorneys, except as

continued eligibility of the Common Stock for such quotation on the Principal
Trading Market, and the Company has maintained all requirements on its part for
the continuation of such quotation.

                  c. AUTHORIZED SHARES.

         (i) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (x)
500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which
approximately 265,663,656 are outstanding as of February 27, 2006, and (y)
15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, none of which
are issued or outstanding.

         (ii) There are no outstanding securities which are convertible into
shares of Common Stock, whether such conversion is currently exercisable or
exercisable only upon some future date or the occurrence of some event in the
future. If any such securities are listed on the Disclosure Annex, the number or

                                       10
<PAGE>

amount of each such outstanding convertible security and the conversion terms
are set forth in said Disclosure Annex.

         (iii) All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Company
has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as may be
necessary to effect the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date, were the
Debentures fully converted and were the Warrant fully exercised on that date.

         (iv) The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company, and, when issued on conversion of, or in
payment of interest on, the Debentures or upon exercise of the Warrants, in each
case in accordance with their respective terms, will have been duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not subject the Holder thereof to
personal liability by reason of being such Holder.

         (v) Notwithstanding any other representation or warranty made herein or
in any of the other Transaction Agreements, as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date, the Company may not have sufficient authorized unissued and
unreserved shares to be able to issue shares to the Buyer and the Other Buyers
in amount which exceeds the share issuable to honor Notices of Conversion for
fifty percent (50%) of the Debentures and Notices of Exercise of Warrants for
fifty percent (50%). The Company represents that the Board of Directors (x) has
voted to recommend to the stockholders that the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as currently in effect, be amended to reflect the Authorized
Share Increase, and (ii) the Company has filed with the SEC and has sent or will
send out to the Company's stockholders a notice of and proxy statement for a
stockholders meeting to be held on or about April 18, 2006 (or as soon
thereafter as is practicable) at which meeting the Authorized Share Increase
will be voted on by the stockholders. All representations, warranties and
covenants contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements are
made subject to the provisions of this paragraph (v).

                  d. TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND STOCK. This Agreement and each
of the other Transaction Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company, this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement
is, and the Debentures, the Warrants and each of the other Transaction
Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be, valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity
and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

                  e. NON-CONTRAVENTION. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements by the Company, the
issuance of the Securities, and the consummation by the Company of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Debentures, the Warrants and
the other Transaction Agreements do not and will not conflict with or result in
a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a
default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company,
each as currently in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or

                                       11
<PAGE>

other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing
agreement for the Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (iii) to its
knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable
decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state
regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets, except such
conflict, breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  f. APPROVALS. No authorization, approval or consent of any
court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or
stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be
obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer
as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and
consents that have been obtained.

                  g. FILINGS. None of the Company's SEC Documents contained, at
the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Since January 1, 2005, the Company has filed all annual
and quarterly reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

                  h. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Since the Last Audited Date,
there has been no Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Company's
SEC Documents. Since the Last Audited Date, except as provided in the Company's
SEC Documents, the Company has not (i) incurred or become subject to any
material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) discharged or
satisfied any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or
liability (absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) declared or
made any payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with
respect to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made any agreements
to purchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (iv) sold, assigned or
transferred any other material tangible assets, or canceled any material debts
owed to the Company by any third party or material claims of the Company against
any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices; (v) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the
ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of
existing business; (vi) made any increases in employee compensation, except in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (vii)
experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with
the terms and conditions of their employment.

                  i. FULL DISCLOSURE. To the Company's knowledge, there is no
fact known to the Company (other than general economic conditions known to the
public generally or as disclosed in the Company's SEC Documents) that has not
been disclosed in writing to the Buyer that would reasonably be expected to have
or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       12
<PAGE>

                  j. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION. There is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or
body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or
affecting the Company before or by any governmental authority or
non-governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction Agreements. The Company is
not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in
the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or
unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to
which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound,
that involve the transaction contemplated herein or that, alone or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  k. ABSENCE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Except as set forth in
Section 3(e) hereof, no Event of Default (or its equivalent term), as defined in
the respective agreement to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party, and
no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would
become an Event of Default (or its equivalent term) (as so defined in such
agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

                  l. ABSENCE OF CERTAIN COMPANY CONTROL PERSON ACTIONS OR
EVENTS. To the Company's knowledge, none of the following has occurred during
the past five (5) years with respect to a Company Control Person:

         (1) A petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state
         insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or
         similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property
         of such Company Control Person, or any partnership in which he was a
         general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing,
         or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive
         officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

         (2) Such Company Control Person was convicted in a criminal proceeding
         or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding
         traffic violations and other minor offenses);

         (3) Such Company Control Person was the subject of any order, judgment
         or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any
         court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining
         him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:

                  (i) acting, as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or
                  dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or
                  employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan
                  association or insurance company, as a futures commission
                  merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, any other
                  Person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
                  ("CFTC") or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice
                  in connection with such activity;

                  (ii) engaging in any type of business practice; or

                  (iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase
                  or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any
                  violation of federal or state securities laws or federal
                  commodities laws;

         (4) Such Company Control Person was the subject of any order, judgment
         or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any
         federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting
         for more than 60 days the right of such Company Control Person to
         engage in any activity described in paragraph (3) of this item, or to
         be associated with Persons engaged in any such activity; or

         (5) Such Company Control Person was found by a court of competent
         jurisdiction in a civil action or by the CFTC or SEC to have violated
         any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil
         action or finding by the CFTC or SEC has not been subsequently
         reversed, suspended, or vacated.

                  m. NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES OR EVENTS. To the best of the
Company's knowledge, the Company has no liabilities or obligations other than
those disclosed in the Transaction Agreements or the Company's SEC Documents or
those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's business since the Last
Audited Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists
with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, 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.
There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to
be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of
the Company which proposal would (x) change the Certificate of Incorporation or
other charter document or by-laws of the Company, each as currently in effect,
with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise
adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock
or (y) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the
Company, including its interests in subsidiaries.

                  n. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company nor any of its
Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, at any time since August 1, 2005, made any offer or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that
would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under
Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as
contemplated hereby.

                                       14
<PAGE>

                  o. DILUTION. The number of shares issuable on conversion of
the Debentures, upon exercise of the Warrants or pursuant to the other terms of
the Transaction Agreements may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests
of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders)
of the Company. The Company's executive officers and directors have studied and
fully understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize
that they have such a potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of the
Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance
is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the
Debentures, the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or the Payment
Shares as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement is binding upon the
Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the
ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will
honor such obligations, including honoring every Notice of Conversion (as
contemplated by the Debentures), every Notice of Exercise (as contemplated by
the Warrants), and every demand for Payment Shares (as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement), unless the Company is subject to an injunction
(which injunction was not sought by the Company) prohibiting the Company from
doing so.

                  p. FEES TO BROKERS, PLACEMENT AGENTS AND OTHERS. The Company
has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for
brokerage commission, placement agent or finder's fees or similar payments by
Buyer relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that it has agreed to
pay the Placement Agent's Compensation (as defined below) to the Placement Agent
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for such fees
arising as a result of any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Buyer
without the knowledge of the Company (a "Buyer's Fee"), Buyer shall have no
obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this paragraph that
may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Buyer, its employees, officers,
directors, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and
against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation
and attorney's fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or
existing fees (other than a Buyer's Fee). The term "Placement Agent's
Compensation" means, in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the consideration contemplated by the Joint
Escrow Instructions.

                  q. DISCLOSURE. All information relating to or concerning the
Company set forth in the Transaction Agreements or in the Company's public
filings with the SEC is true and correct in all material respects and have not
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or
its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which
under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement by the Company.

                  r. CONFIRMATION. The Company confirms that all statements of
the Company contained herein shall survive acceptance of this Agreement by the
Buyer for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date. The Company agrees

                                       15
<PAGE>

that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances
exist prior to the release of the Escrow Funds to the Company which would make
any of the Company's representations, warranties, agreements or other
information set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of
such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer (directly or through
its counsel, if any) and the Document Escrow Agent in writing prior to such date
of such fact, specifying which representation, warranty or covenant is affected
and the reasons therefor.

                  4. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

                  a. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

                  (i) The Buyer acknowledges that (1) the Securities have not
been and are not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act and,
except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise included in
an effective registration statement, the Shares have not been and are not being
registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and
substance to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or
transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration; (2) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be
made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is
not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the
seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an
underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with
some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder; and (3) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any
obligation to register the Securities (other than pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement) under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions
of any exemption thereunder.

                  (ii) In addition to the foregoing, and not in lieu thereof,
the Buyer agrees that, without the express written consent of the Company in
each instance, it will not transfer any of the Purchased Securities to any
Person (x) which is known to the Buyer to be in substantially the same business
as the Company or which the Company reasonably identifies as a competitor, or
(y) which is known to be a subsidiary or affiliate of such a Person.

                  b. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that,
until such time as the relevant Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act,
as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and may be sold in
accordance with an effective Registration Statement or otherwise in accordance
with another effective registration statement, or until such Shares can
otherwise be sold without restriction, whichever is earlier, the certificates
and other instruments representing any of the Securities shall bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of any such Securities):

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE
         SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE
         ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                                       16
<PAGE>

                  c. FILINGS. The Company undertakes and agrees to make all
filings required to be made by it in connection with the sale of the Securities
to the Buyer under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any United States state
securities laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company or by any
domestic securities exchange or trading market, and, unless such filing is
publicly available on the SEC's EDGAR system (via the SEC's web site at no
additional charge), to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such
filing. Reference is made to the Section titled "Publicity, Filings, Releases,
Etc." below.

                  d. REPORTING STATUS. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns
any of the Purchased Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days
thereafter, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, shall take all reasonable
action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with
respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144(c)(2) of the
1933 Act, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer
required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules
and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. The Company will take
all reasonable action under its control to maintain the continued listing and
quotation and trading of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, all
Registrable Securities) on the Principal Trading Market or a listing on the
NASDAQ/Small Cap or National Markets and, to the extent applicable to it, will
comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the by-laws or rules of the Principal Trading Market and/or
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., as the case may be,
applicable to it at least through the date which is sixty (60) days after the
later of the date on which (x) all of the Debentures have been converted or have
been paid in full or (y) all of the Warrants have been exercised or have
expired.

                  e. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company will use the net proceeds
received hereunder (excluding amounts to be applied to the fees of the Funds
Escrow Agent, the Document Escrow Agent and the Placement Agent Compensation, as
contemplated by the Joint Escrow Instructions) as provided in ANNEX IX attached
hereto (the "Use of Proceeds"). The Use of Proceeds provides, among other
things, that such net proceeds shall be used (i) first, for repayment of the
promissory notes identified in the Use of Proceeds (the "Specified Notes"); (ii)
then, to the application of the Security Deposit (as defined below); and (iii)
then, for general corporate purposes.

                  f. WARRANTS.

                  (i) The Company agrees to issue to the Buyer on the Closing
Date transferable warrants (each, a "Warrant" and, collectively, the "Warrants")
for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Issue Date Conversion Shares. The Warrants will be issued
in two Certificates, designated as Series 2006-A and Series 2006-B,
respectively, as contemplated by Section 4(o)(iii) hereof. The Warrants shall
have an exercise price (the "Exercise Price") equal to the Closing Price for the

                                       17
<PAGE>

Trading Date immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that the
Exercise Price will be subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant. The
Warrants shall be exercisable commencing on the Commencement Date specified in
the Warrants and shall expire at the close of business on the date which is the
last day of the calendar month in which the third annual anniversary of the
Effective Date occurs. The Warrant shall have cashless exercise rights as
provided in the Warrant. Except as specified above, each Warrant shall generally
be in the form annexed hereto as ANNEX V.

                  (ii) The Warrant Shares shall be subject to the provisions of
the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  g. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS.

                  (i) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
have meanings indicated:

         (A) "New Transaction Period" means the period commencing on the Closing
         Date and continuing through and including the Final Lock-up Date.

         (B) "Final Lock-up Date" means the date on which the aggregate
         principal amount of all outstanding Debentures is one-quarter or less
         than the Aggregate Purchase Price.

         (C) "New Transaction Price" means the Basic New Transaction Price (as
         defined below) except that if the New Transaction Exercise Price is
         lower than the Basic New Transaction Price, it means the New
         Transaction Exercise Price.

         (D) "Basic New Transaction Price" means, as may be applicable, on a per
         share basis, the lower of (1) the lowest fixed purchase price of any
         shares of the New Common Stock contemplated in the New Transaction, or
         (2) the lowest conversion price or put or call price which would be
         applicable under the terms of the New Transaction; in each such case,
         whether such purchase or conversion price or put or call price is
         stated or otherwise specified or is determined on the closing date of
         the New Transaction by the application of a formula set in the
         documents reflecting the New Transaction or could result from
         adjustments or revisions contemplated in the relevant agreements for
         the New Transaction and whenever such adjustment or revision would be
         applicable (and if no minimum purchase price, conversion price or put
         or call price, as the case may be, is set, it shall be assumed that
         such minimum purchase price or conversion price is $.01); and provided,
         further, that, if the securities issued in the New Transaction are
         issued at a Face Value Discount (as defined below), the New Transaction
         Price shall be adjusted to reflect such discount.(3)

---------------
(3) By way of illustration, if convertible preferred shares having a stated
value of $1 million and a fixed conversion price of $0.05 were sold for a
purchase price of $800,000, the effective New Transaction Price would be $0.04.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (E) "Exercise Threshold Price" means the then applicable Exercise
         Price.

         (F) "New Transaction Exercise Price" means the lowest exercise price
         per share applicable to the warrants, option or similar instrument
         (howsoever denominated; collectively, "New Transaction Warrants")
         included in such New Transaction, whether such exercise price is stated
         or could result from adjustments or revisions contemplated in the
         relevant agreements for the New Transaction and whenever such exercise
         price would be applicable (and, if no minimum exercise price is set, it
         shall be assumed that such minimum exercise price is $.01).

         (G) "New Transaction Effective Percentage" means the percentage equal
         to the excess, if any, of (1) one hundred percent (100%) over (2) the
         percentage equal to (x) the New Transaction Price, divided by (y) the
         VWAP for the twenty (20) Trading Days ending on the Trading Day
         immediately before the closing date of the New Transaction. (H)
         "Alternative Warrant Percentage" means, with respect to the relevant
         New Transaction, (1) the number of shares which are eligible to be
         purchased under the New Transaction Warrants, divided by (2) the
         aggregate of the shares of New Common Stock issued or issuable in such
         transaction (excluding the shares issuable on exercise of the New
         Transaction Warrants).

         (I) "Current Warrant Percentage" means, as of immediately before the
         consummation of the relevant New Transaction, the higher of (1) one
         hundred percent (100%) or (2) the highest Alternative Warrant
         Percentage of any preceding New Transaction.

         (J) "Outstanding Warrant Shares" means, for the Warrants or for any
         previously issued Additional Warrants (as defined below), the then
         outstanding number of Warrant Shares which would then be issuable upon
         the exercise in full of such Warrants (without regard to any
         limitations which may then restrict the Holder's full exercise of such
         Warrant at any time) or such Additional Warrants, if any, as in effect
         immediately prior to the relevant New Transaction.

         (K) "Original Warrant Shares" means, for the Warrants or for any
         previously issued Additional Warrants, the original number of Warrant
         Shares issuable on exercise of such Warrants on the Closing Date or as
         Additional Warrants, as the case may be (in each case without regard to
         any limitations which may then restrict the Holder's full exercise of
         such Warrant at any time), but excluding any Warrant canceled pursuant
         to the provisions of Section 4(o)(iii) hereof.

         (L) "Face Value Discount" means consideration less than, as the case
         may be, (x) the number of shares being issued multiplied by the stated
         purchase price, (y) the stated principal amount of a debenture, note or
         similar instrument or (z) the stated value of the shares of convertible
         stock.

                  (ii) The Company covenants and agrees that, if, during the New
Transaction Period, without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest
of the Holders in each instance (which consent is in the sole discretion of the
Holders and may be withheld for any reason or for no reason whatsoever), the
Company enters into a New Transaction, then

         (A) the New Transaction Price shall be the Lowest Fixed Conversion
         Price for all Unconverted Debentures; provided, however, if there was a
         previous New Transaction Price, the Lowest Fixed Conversion Price shall
         be the lowest New Transaction Price(4); and

         (B) if the New Transaction Effective Percentage is higher than the then
         applicable Effective Percentage, the Effective Percentage shall be
         adjusted for all Unconverted Debentures to such New Transaction
         Effective Percentage; and

         (C) if the New Transaction Exercise Price of any of the New Transaction
         Warrants is lower than the Exercise Threshold Price of the Warrants,
         then the Exercise Price of the then outstanding Warrants shall be
         adjusted to be equal to the New Transaction Exercise Price of such New
         Transaction Warrants; and

         (D) if the provisions applicable to the convertible preferred stock,
         convertible debenture or similar instrument (howsoever denominated), if
         any, of the New Transaction are more beneficial to the holder of such
         instrument than the corresponding terms applicable to the Debentures or
         in or to the Warrants, as the case may be, or if the terms which are
         beneficial to the Company in the relevant Transaction Agreements are
         not included in the corresponding instrument in the New Transaction,
         then, unless waived by the Holder, the terms of the Transaction
         Agreements applying to the then outstanding Debentures or the Warrants
         or to the other Transaction Agreements, as the case may be, shall be
         modified to reflect similar terms (based, if relevant, on the Closing
         Date); provided, however, that nothing in this provision shall be read
         to mean that the Purchased Securities shall be changed to any other
         form of security;

         (E) if either (1) the Conversion Price is adjusted and/or the Effective
         Percentage is increased as contemplated by clause (A) and/or (B) above,
         and/or (2) the Alternative Warrant Percentage is greater than the
         Current Warrant Percentage (whether or not the Conversion Price or
         Effective Percentage has been adjusted as a result of the New
         Transaction), the Company shall issue to the Holder additional warrants
         ("Additional Warrants") for the purchase of the number of shares equal
         to the excess, if any, of

                  (x) (I) the higher of (a) the Alternative Warrant Percentage
                  or (b) the Current Warrant Percentage, multiplied by (II) (a)
                  the Purchase Price, divided by (b) the Conversion Price as
                  determined on the Closing Date or on the closing date of the

----------------
(4) Any New Transaction Price shall be adjusted for subsequent events as
contemplated by the Debentures.

                  New Transaction, whichever is lower, multiplied by (III) a
                  fraction, of which the numerator is the Outstanding Warrant
                  Shares for all Warrants (including previously issued
                  Additional Warrants) and the denominator is Original Warrant
                  Shares for all Warrants (including previously issued
                  Additional Warrants); over

                  (y) the aggregate Outstanding Warrant Shares for all Warrants
                  (including previously issued Additional Warrants);

         the terms of such Additional Warrants (including, but not limited, to
         term of exercisability, exercise price, manner and limitations, if any,
         on exercise, registration rights) shall be the same as the shall be the
         same as the applicable New Transaction Warrants issued in such New
         Transaction.

                  (iii) The Company covenants and agrees that, any of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4(g) or any other provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary
notwithstanding, without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of
the Holders in each instance (which consent is in the sole discretion of the
Holders and may be withheld for any reason or for no reason whatsoever),

         (A) during the New Transaction Period, the Company will not enter into
         any New Transaction where such transaction provides for a variable
         conversion price or a variable exercise price;

         (B) during the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing
         through the Effective Date, the Company will not enter into any New
         Transaction whatsoever, and

         (C) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing
         through the date which is the sixth monthly anniversary of the
         Effective Date, the Company will not enter into any New Transaction
         where such New Transaction provides for any registration rights
         (including, but not limited to demand or piggy-back registration
         rights) to any one or more of the New Investors in such New
         Transaction.

The Company acknowledges that each of the foregoing provisions is independent of
the others and that a breach of any of the foregoing provisions might result in
adjustments referred to in other provisions of this Section 4(g) and, in
addition (and not in lieu of such adjustments, if any) shall constitute an event
of default under the Debenture and the other Transaction Agreements. The Company
is aware that if such event of default occurs, a Holder of a Debenture will have
certain redemption rights contemplated by the Debenture.

                  (iv) Nothing in the foregoing provisions reflects either an
obligation on the part of any Buyer to participate in any New Transaction or a
limitation on any Buyer from participating in any New Transaction.

                                       21
<PAGE>

                  (v) Any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(g) or
any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not engage in any offers,
sales or other transactions of its securities which would adversely affect the
exemption from registration available for the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Agreements.

                  (vi) The Company agrees that, prior to the Effective Date, the
Company will not file any registration statement for the sale of shares by the
Company or any other stockholder other than the Registration Statement
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  h. COMPANY PRINCIPAL'S AGREEMENTS.

                  (i) The Company hereby agrees that, no later than the Closing
Date, the Company will cause each of its principal officers and all of its
directors (each, a "Company Principal"), and certain Persons who are related to
or controlled by such Company Principal, to execute and deliver an agreement
(each, a "Company Principal's Agreement") regarding limitations on the sale or
other disposition of the shares of the Company's Common Stock (or instruments
convertible into or exercisable for such shares) held by such Company Principal
or other Principal (as defined in the Company Principal's Agreement), except
that, notwithstanding its terms, the Company Principal's Agreement will be
deemed not apply to the sale of shares of Common Stock bought by a Principal in
open market transactions. Subject to the foregoing, each Company Principal's
Agreement shall be substantially in the form set forth in ANNEX VII attached
hereto.

                  (ii) In addition, under certain circumstances as contemplated
by the definition of "New Transaction" in this Agreement, certain future
issuances by the Company to persons identified in clause (g) of such definition
are conditioned on such shares being subject to a Company Principal's Agreement
being executed by the relevant party (who, whether or not included in the
definition of Company Principal in the preceding subparagraph (i), shall, for
purposes of this Section 4(h), be deemed to be a "Company Principal" identified
in such definition). The Company covenants that it will obtain such executed
Company Principal's Agreement from the relevant party no later than the issuance
of the relevant security to such party and that it will promptly provide a copy
thereof to the Document Escrow Agent on behalf of the Buyer and the Other
Buyers.

                  i. AVAILABLE SHARES.

                  (i) The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 4(i) shall
be applicable to fifty percent (50%) of (x) all of the then outstanding
Debentures and (y) all of the then outstanding Warrants until the amendment of
the Certificate of Incorporation to implement the Authorized Share Increase.
Thereafter, the provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 4(i) shall be
applicable to one hundred percent (100%) of all of the then outstanding
Debentures and all the then outstanding Warrants.

                  (ii) The Company shall have at all times authorized and
reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares (the
"Reserved Amount") at least equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as may be required,
at any time, to satisfy the conversion rights of the Holders of principal on all

                                       22
<PAGE>

(i) outstanding Convertible Debentures plus interest thereon through the
Maturity Date, plus (y) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of all
outstanding Warrants held by all Holders (in each case, whether any of such
outstanding Convertible Debentures or Warrants were originally issued to the
Holder, the Buyer or to any other party and without regard to any restrictions
which might limit any Holder's right to convert any of the Debentures or to
exercise any of the Warrants held by any Holder). The Reserved Amount shall be
determined on the first Trading Day after the end of each calendar quarter and
the number of shares to be reserved shall be based on (q) all outstanding
Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Price as of such date and (r)
unexercised Warrants as of such date. The Reserved Amount determined on such
date shall remain the Reserved Amount until the next quarterly determination.

                  j. PUBLICITY, FILINGS, RELEASES, ETC. Each of the parties
agrees that it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction
Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press
releases, holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports
(collectively, "Publicity"), without giving the other party reasonable advance
notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof. Neither party will
include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material to
which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally
required to be included. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will
provide to the Buyer drafts of the applicable text the first filing of a Current
Report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on Form 10-Q or 10-K (or
equivalent SB forms) intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the
Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as
practicable (but at least two (2) Trading Days before such filing will be made)
and will not include in such filing (or any other filing filed before then) any
statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably
objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such
statement, such statement is legally required to be included. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text
of the Transaction Agreements in filings made with the SEC (but any descriptive
text accompanying or part of such filing shall be subject to the other
provisions of this paragraph). Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4(j), the Company will, after the Closing Date,
promptly issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K or, if
appropriate, a quarterly or annual report on the appropriate form, referring to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

                  k. INDEPENDENT NATURE OF BUYERS' OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The
obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Agreements are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Buyer under any
one or more of the Transaction Agreements. The decision of each Buyer or Other
Buyer to purchase Purchased Securities pursuant to the Transaction Agreements
has been made by such Buyer independently of any Other Buyer and independently
of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business,
affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its
subsidiaries, if any, which may been made or given by any Other Buyer or any of
their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, agents, counsel or
representatives (collectively, including the Buyer, the "Buyer
Representatives"). No Buyer Representative shall j.

<PAGE>

have any liability to any Other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from
any such information, materials, statements or opinions, if any. Each Buyer
acknowledges that no Other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection
with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent
of such Other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the
Purchased Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Agreements.
Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of
the other Transaction Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any Other
Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
The Company acknowledges that, for reasons of administrative convenience, (x)
the Transaction Agreements have been prepared by counsel for one of the Buyers
and such counsel does not represent all of the Buyers with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and each other Buyer has retained its own
counsel (or had the opportunity to do so) with respect to such transactions, and
(y) the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same
Transaction Agreements for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple
Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In
furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company
acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction
Agreement, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

                  l. EQUAL TREATMENT OF BUYERS. No consideration shall be
offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of the Transaction Agreements unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Agreements.

                  m. INDEPENDENT INVESTMENT DECISION. No Buyer has agreed to act
with any Other Buyer for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing
of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Exchange Act, and each Buyer is acting independently with respect to its
investment in the Securities. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Purchased
Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently
of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets,
properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company or its subsidiaries which may have made
or given by any Other Buyer or by any agent or employee of any Other Buyer, and
no Buyer or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other
Buyer (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information,
materials, statements or opinions.

                  n. NASD RULE 2710. The Company is aware that the Corporate
Financing Rule 2710 ("NASD Rule 2710") of the National Association of Securities
Dealers ("NASD") is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Agreements or to the sale by a Holder of any of the Securities.
If NASD Rule 2710 is so applicable, the Company shall, to the extent required by
such rule, cooperate with any broker or selling stockholder in respect of any
consents, authorizations or approvals that may be necessary for the NASD to
timely and expeditiously permit the stockholder to sell the securities.

                  o. AUTHORIZED SHARE INCREASE.

                  (i) The Company will take all commercially reasonable steps
necessary to effectuate the filing of an amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation, as currently in effect, to reflect the Authorized Share Increase.
In furtherance of the foregoing, it will take all reasonable steps necessary to
have the stockholders meeting held and to obtain the requisite stockholder
approval, including, but not necessarily limited to, filing with the SEC and
distributing to the Company's stockholders a notice of and a proxy statement for
a stockholders meeting expected to be held by on April 18, 2006 (or as soon
thereafter as may be practicable), and the Board of Directors' recommending
approval of the Authorized Share Increase. Upon the requisite authorization for
the Authorize Share Increase, the Company will file an amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as currently in effect, to reflect
the Authorized Share Increase, such filing to be made no later than April 28,
2006.

                  (ii) The Company agrees that on the Closing Date it will
deposit with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Security Agent"), out
of the Aggregate Purchase Price otherwise distributable to the Company out of
the Escrow Funds, an amount (the "Security Deposit") equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the Aggregate Purchase Price. The Company hereby grants the Buyer a
security interest in a portion of the Security Deposit equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the Buyer's Purchase Price to secure the Company's obligations to the
Buyer under this Section 4(o). The Security Deposit shall be held by the
Security Agent in an escrow account maintained by the Security Agent in the name
of the Company, but acting as agent for the Buyer and the Other Buyers. The
Security Agent's holding of the Security Deposit shall represent the holding of
such security interest in favor of the Buyer and the Other Buyers for the
Company's filing of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
as currently in effect, to reflect the Authorized Share Increase by April 25,
2006. Evidence of such filing (the "Filing Evidence") shall be made by the
Company providing a letter from Company Counsel to the Document Escrow Agent
within three (3) Trading Days after the filing of the amendment, but in no event
later than April 28, 2006 (the "Filing Evidence Date") confirming (1) the
Authorized Share Increase was duly approved by the Company's stockholders on or
before April 25, 2006 and (2) confirming the filing of the amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation, specifying the date of such filing and providing a
copy of the amendment which is either (x) an original or a photocopy of the
amendment certified or stamped by the office in the State of Incorporation in
which the amendment was filed or (y) a photocopy of the amendment as filed,
together with an unqualified confirmation from Company Counsel that such
amendment has been filed. If the Filing Evidence is timely received by the
Document Escrow Agent, (I) the Document Escrow Agent shall direct the Security
Agent to release the Security Deposit to the Company and to such other parties
as may be contemplated by the terms of the Joint Escrow Instruction, and (II)
the Document Escrow Agent will deliver the Certificates, as contemplated in
subparagraph (iii) below, to the respective Buyers. If the filing of the
Authorized Share Increase was not approved by April 25, 2006 or if the Filing
Evidence is not received by the Document Escrow Agent by the Filing Evidence
Date, the Company shall be obligated to pay to each Buyer on the Cancellation
Date (as defined below) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Buyer's
Purchase Price, plus accrued interest thereon (as contemplated by the
Debentures) through the Cancellation Date. In such event, the Document Escrow
Agent shall direct the Funds Escrow Agent to release the Security Deposit to the
Buyer and the Other Buyers, pro rata among (i) them in accordance with their

                                       24
<PAGE>

respective Purchase Prices. Such payment shall be made against cancellation, as
of the Cancellation Date, of (q) one of each Buyer's Debentures (representing
Debentures having a principal amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of each such
Buyer's Purchase Price) and (r) fifty percent (50%) of such Buyer's original
Warrants (each, in the manner contemplated by subparagraph (iii) below) and such
release shall be applied against the Company's obligations to the each relevant
Buyer under this Section 4(o). Interest, if any, earned on the Security Deposit
shall be paid to the Company (subject to the requirements of the Joint Escrow
Instructions), but the Company shall remain obligated to each Buyer for the
payment of accrued interest on the cancelled Debentures through the Cancellation
Date. The "Cancellation Date" is the earlier of (i) the first Trading Day after
the date, which shall not be before the conclusion of the Company's stockholders
meeting, on which the Company advises the Security Agent in writing that the
stockholders did not approve the Authorized Share Increase, or (ii) the Trading
Day after the Filing Evidence Date, if the Filing Evidence is not received by
the Document Escrow Agent the Filing Evidence Date.

                  (iii) In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties agree as
follows: The Debentures representing the Company's obligation to repay the
Purchase Price and the Warrants will each be initially issued in two
instruments, each for half of the amounts contemplated by this Agreement. One
such Debenture instrument and one such Warrant instrument will be released and
delivered to the Buyer on the Closing Date. The other Debenture instrument and
the other Warrant instrument will be released to the Buyer, but continue to be
held by the Document Escrow Agent, not in escrow, but on behalf of the Buyer
pending the release of the Security Deposit. If the Security Deposit is released
to the Company, such second Debenture instrument and second Warrant instrument
shall be delivered to the Buyer. If the Security Deposit is released to the
Buyers, such second Debenture instrument and second Warrant instrument shall be
delivered by the Document Escrow Agent to the Company for cancellation.

                  (iv) If, pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section
4(o), the Buyer is entitled to the payment of the Buyer's pro rata share of the
Security Deposit, the Buyer must provide to the Funds Escrow Agent the
information contemplated by the form attached as ANNEX XII hereto. Such form may
be provided to the Document Escrow Agent for forwarding to the Funds Escrow
Agent if relevant. The Funds Escrow Agent will not disburse funds to a Buyer
without such information, and any directions given by the Document Escrow Agent
will not be effected until such information is provided.

                  p. KEEPING OF RECORDS AND BOOKS OF ACCOUNT. The Company shall
keep and cause each subsidiary, if any, to keep adequate records and books of
account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and
such subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for
depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other
purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

                  5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

                  a. The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities,
other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof,
it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions
to issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures or
exercise of the Warrants or in connection with the issuance of Payment Shares,
as may be applicable from time to time, in such amounts as specified from time
to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend
specified in Section 4(b) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares
under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee and in
such denominations to be specified by the Holder in connection therewith. Except
as so provided, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books
and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and
the other Transaction Agreements. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any
way the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable
securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company
with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance
with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the
1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while the Registration Statement is
effective, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a)
of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the
Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares or the Payment Shares, as may be
applicable, promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more
certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such
denominations as specified by the Buyer.

                  b. (i) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of
Conversion Certificates, whether on conversion of the Debenture and/or in
payment of accrued interest or on exercise of the Warrants, beyond the relevant
Delivery Date (as defined in the Debenture or Warrant, as the case may be) could
result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such
loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of
the Conversion Certificates in accordance with the following schedule (where
"No. Business Days Late" is defined as the number of Trading Days beyond two (2)
Trading Days after the Delivery Date):(5)

----------------
(5) Example: Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise is delivered on Monday,
May 1, 2006. The Delivery Date would be Thursday, May 4 (the third Trading Day

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to
pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and deliver the
Conversion Certificates to the Holder within a reasonable time. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to a Holder, in the event
that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such Conversion
Certificates within two (2) Trading Days after the Delivery Date, the Converting
Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion or Notice of
Exercise by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company prior to the
Converting Holder's receipt of the relevant Conversion Certificates, whereupon
the Company and the Converting Holder shall each be restored to their respective
positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion or Notice
of Exercise, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any payments
contemplated by this Section 5(b) of this Agreement which have accrued through
the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting
Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

                  (ii) If, by the tenth Trading Day after the relevant Delivery
Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Conversion Certificates,
but at any time after the Delivery Date, the Converting Holder purchases, in an
arm's-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the
"Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common
Stock by the Converting Holder (the "Sold Shares"), which delivery such
Converting Holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such
conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Converting Holder shall have the right to require
the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of
the amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements,
including, but not limited to, the provisions of the immediately preceding
Section 5(b)(i)), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The "Buy-In
Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the number of Sold Shares multiplied
by the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder's total purchase price per share
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the
net proceeds per share (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the

                                       27
<PAGE>

Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In
Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon
demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of
the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In
with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the
Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Holder
will be $1,000.

                  c. The provisions of this paragraph apply on or after the
Effective Date. After such Effective Date, the Company will issue Shares without
legend and without transfer restrictions on the books of the Transfer Agent,
and, at the request of the Holder, will use it best efforts to have previously
issued certificates representing the Shares re-issued without legend and without
transfer restrictions on the books of the Transfer Agent. In lieu of delivering
physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Debenture or exercise of a Warrant or at the request of the Holder with
respect to any Shares previously issued, provided the Transfer Agent is
participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and the Holder's compliance with
the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefor
do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such
certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its
best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit to the
Holder the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or exercise of
the Warrant or in replacement of any Shares previously issued by crediting the
account of Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system.

                  d. The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the
Transfer Agent or Company counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop
transfer instructions with respect to Registrable Securities, and (ii) the
issuance of certificates or DTC registration to or in the name of the Holder or
the Holder's designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder's
responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion
guarantee and prospectus delivery compliance) in connection with any electronic
issuance of shares of Common Stock.

                  e. The Holder of a Debenture or a Warrant shall be entitled to
exercise its conversion or exercise privilege with respect to the Debenture or
the Warrant, as the case may be, notwithstanding the commencement of any case
under 11 U.S.C. ss.101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"). In the event the Company
is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. ss.362 in
respect of such holder's exercise privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C.
ss.362 in respect of the conversion of the Debenture or the exercise of the
Warrant. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Holder, to take or
to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C.
ss.362.

                  f. The Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to give
information relating to the Company directly to the Holder or the Holder's
representatives upon the request of the Buyer or any such representative, to the
extent such information relates to (i) the status of shares of Common Stock
issued or claimed to be issued to the Holder in connection with a Notice of
Conversion or a Notice of Exercise, or (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock of all stockholders (as a group and not individually) as
of a current or other specified date. At the request of the Holder, the Company
will provide the Holder with a copy of the authorization so given to the
Transfer Agent.

                  6. CLOSING DATE.

                  a. The Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first

                  8. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.

                  The Company understands that the Buyer's obligation to

                  a. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements by the Company on or before the Closing Date;

                  b. The delivery by the Company to the Document Escrow Agent of

executed by the Company on or before such date shall be in full force and effect
and the Company shall not be in default thereunder;

                  e. The accuracy in all material respects on such Closing Date

substantially to the effect set forth in ANNEX III attached hereto;

                  g. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation

any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained; and

                  h. From and after the date hereof to and including such

                  9. INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

                  a. (i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Buyer Control
Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
incurred (collectively, "Damages"), joint or several, and any action in respect

                                       30
<PAGE>

thereof to which the Buyer, its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Buyer Control Person becomes
subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation,
breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or
agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages
are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily from Buyer's
failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the
Buyer's or its officer's, director's, employee's, agent's or Buyer Control
Person's illegal or willful misconduct, gross negligence, recklessness or bad
faith (in each case, as determined by a non-appealable judgment to such effect)
in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

                           (ii) The Company hereby agrees that, if the Buyer,
other than by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (in each
case, as determined by a non-appealable judgment to such effect), (x) becomes
involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by
any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other
Transaction Agreements, or if the Buyer is impleaded in any such action,
proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (y) becomes involved in any
capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by the SEC, any
self-regulatory organization or other body having jurisdiction, against or
involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction
Agreements, or (z) is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation
by any Person, then in any such case, the Company shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Buyer from and against and in respect of all losses, claims,
liabilities, damages or expenses resulting from, imposed upon or incurred by the
Buyer, directly or indirectly, and reimburse such Buyer for its reasonable legal
and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)
incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The
indemnification and 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
Buyer who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and
partners, directors, agents, employees and Buyer Control Persons (if any), as
the case may be, of the Buyer 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 Buyer, any such Affiliate and any such
Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Buyer nor any such Affiliate,
partner, director, agent, employee or Buyer Control Person shall have any
liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right
of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, except as may be expressly and
specifically provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

                  b. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as
defined below) under this Section shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

                           (i) In the event any claim or demand in respect of
which any Person claiming indemnification under any provision of this Section
(an "Indemnified Party") might seek indemnity under paragraph (a) of this
Section is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified
Party by a Person other than a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a "Third
Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification,

                                       31
<PAGE>

enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and
basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party's claim for
indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of this Section
against any Person (the "Indemnifying Party"), together with the amount or, if
not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good
faith, of such Third Party Claim (a "Claim Notice") with reasonable promptness
to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim
Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to
indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been prejudiced by
such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the
Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30)
calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim
Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "Dispute Period") whether
the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to
the Indemnified Party under this Section and whether the Indemnifying Party
desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against
such Third Party Claim. The following provisions shall also apply.

         (x) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the
         Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the
         Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to
         this paragraph (b) of this Section, then the Indemnifying Party shall
         have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
         Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying
         Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which
         proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the
         Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the
         discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the
         Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any
         relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for
         the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall
         not be indemnified in full pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section).
         The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and
         proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided,
         however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense
         of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's
         delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this
         subparagraph (x), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take
         any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be
         necessary or appropriate protect its interests; and provided further,
         that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
         will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide
         reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any
         Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The
         Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or
         settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying
         Party pursuant to this subparagraph (x), and except as provided in the
         preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and
         expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the
         defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it
         irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under paragraph (a) of this
         Section with respect to such Third Party Claim.

                                       32
<PAGE>

         (y) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party
         within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend
         the Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, or if
         the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute
         vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, each in a
         reasonable manner, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any
         notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party
         shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the
         Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate
         proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified
         Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at
         the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the
         Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
         The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and
         proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided,
         however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
         Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party,
         provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel
         in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is
         contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
         subparagraph (y), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the
         Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party
         disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the
         Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such
         dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner
         provided in subparagraph(z) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be
         required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's
         defense pursuant to this subparagraph (y) or of the Indemnifying
         Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's request, and
         the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full
         for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying
         Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may
         participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled
         by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this subparagraph (y), and the
         Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect
         to such participation.

         (z) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it
         does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the
         Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under paragraph
         (a) of this Section or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the
         Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or
         the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to
         such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim
         Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying
         Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the Indemnifying Party
         shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on
         demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or
         the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the
         Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good
         faith to (y) negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however,

                                       33
<PAGE>

         that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the
         Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute
         such legal action as it deems appropriate.

                           (ii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a
claim under paragraph (a) of this Section against the Indemnifying Party that
does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a
written notification of a claim for indemnity under paragraph (a) of this
Section specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the
amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount,
determined in good faith, of such claim (an "Indemnity Notice") with reasonable
promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to
give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party's rights hereunder except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been
irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the
Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim
described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party
within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or
the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of
Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a
liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the
Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party
on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the
amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of
such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within
thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

                  c. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party
against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to.

                  10. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Company and the Buyer hereby waive
a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of
the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in
connection with the Transaction Agreements.

                  11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company and the Buyer
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled
to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the
necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this
Agreement or such other Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however
that the Company, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion or a Notice of
Exercise, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the
related legal opinions, if any, based on any claim that the Holder has violated
any provision hereof or for any other reason, unless the Company has first
posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and
then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver said stock

                                       34
<PAGE>

certificates to the Holder (individually or all Holders or Holders of a
particular classification including the Holder, as may be more fully set forth
in such court order). This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into
each of the Transaction Agreements as if set forth therein in full.

                  12. GOVERNING LAW: MISCELLANEOUS.

                  a. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in

jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the
County of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the
County of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement

extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on FORUM
NON CONVENIENS, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or
to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. To
the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Buyer for
any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Buyer in enforcement
of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Agreements.
Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

                  b. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under
this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or
remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

                  c. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

                  d. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the

reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

                  h. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
         1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE
         SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION

                          COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
                              SERIES 2006-____(1)

        1. ISSUANCE. In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by RIM SEMICONDUCTOR
COMPANY, a Utah corporation (the "Company"), ___________________ or registered
assigns (the "Holder") is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time, on
or after the Commencement Date (as defined below) until 5:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), _____________________________
Thousand __________________ (______________)(2) fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), at an initial exercise price per share (the "Exercise Price") of
$__________(3) per share, subject to further adjustment as set forth herein.
This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2006 (the "Agreement"), to which the
Company and Holder (or Holder's predecessor in interest) are parties.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Agreement. This Warrant was originally

(1) Insert "A" or "B"

(2) Insert number equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Buyer's Issue Date
Conversion Shares (total of one hundred percent (100%) of the Issue Date
Conversion Shares for the Series A and Series B Warrants).

(3) Insert amount equal to Closing Price for the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Closing Date.

issued to the Holder or the Holder's predecessor in interest on
_________________, 2006(4) (the "Issue Date").

        2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.

                2.1 GENERAL.

                (a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time
and from time to time commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined below).
Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by
delivery to the Company or by facsimile transmission as provided in Section 8
hereof) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise (substantially in the
form attached to this Warrant Certificate) as provided in the Notice of Exercise
(or revised by notice given by the Company as contemplated by the Section headed
"NOTICES" in the Agreement). The date such Notice of Exercise is faxed to the
Company shall be the "Exercise Date," provided that, if such exercise represents
the full exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder of this
Warrant tenders this Warrant Certificate to the Company within five (5) Trading
Days thereafter. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder of this
Warrant and shall indicate (i) the number of shares then being purchased
pursuant to such exercise and (ii) if applicable (as provided below), whether
the exercise is a cashless exercise.

                (b) The provisions of this Section 2.1(b) shall only be
applicable (i) on or after the first anniversary of the Issue Date, and (ii) if,
and only if, on the Exercise Date there is no effective Registration Statement
covering the Warrant Shares (other than during a Permitted Suspension Period, as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). If the Notice of Exercise form
elects a "cashless" exercise, the Holder shall thereby be entitled to receive a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to (w) the excess of the Current Market
Value (as defined below) over the total cash exercise price of the portion of
the Warrant then being exercised, divided by (x) the Market Price of the Common
Stock. For the purposes of this Warrant, the terms (y) "Current Market Value"
shall mean an amount equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock, multiplied
by the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the applicable Notice of
Exercise, and (z) "Market Price of the Common Stock" shall mean the average
Closing Price of the Common Stock for the three (3) Trading Days ending on the
Trading Day immediately prior to the Exercise Date.

                (c) If the Notice of Exercise form elects a "cash" exercise (or
if the cashless exercise referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (b)
is not available in accordance with its terms), the Exercise Price per share of
Common Stock for the shares then being exercised shall be payable, at the
election of the Holder, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by
wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by the Company at the
request of the Holder.

                (d) Upon the appropriate payment, if any, of the Exercise Price
for the shares of Common Stock purchased, together with the surrender of this
Warrant Certificate (if required),

___________________
(4) Insert the Closing Date.

                                       2

the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased. The Company shall deliver such certificates
representing the Warrant Shares in accordance with the instructions of the
Holder as provided in the Notice of Exercise (the certificates delivered in such
manner, the "Warrant Share Certificates") within three (3) Trading Days (such
third Trading Day, a "Delivery Date") of (i) with respect to a "cashless
exercise," the Exercise Date or, (ii) with respect to a "cash" exercise, the
later of the Exercise Date or the date the payment of the Exercise Price for the
relevant Warrant Shares is received by the Company.

                (e) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares
issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the
Exercise Date.

                2.2 LIMITATION ON EXERCISE. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Warrant, the Agreement or of the other Transaction Agreements, in no event
(except (i) as specifically provided in this Warrant as an exception to this
provision, (ii) during the forty-five (45) day period prior to the Expiration
Date, or (iii) while there is outstanding a tender offer for any or all of the
shares of the Company's Common Stock) shall the Holder be entitled to exercise
this Warrant, or shall the Company have the obligation to issue shares upon such
exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant to the extent that, after such
exercise the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be
deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of
the Warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or through the ownership
of the unconverted portion of convertible securities), and (2) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants with respect
to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in
beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (after taking into account the shares to be
issued to the Holder upon such exercise). For purposes of the proviso to the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Warrant, further agrees that if the Holder
transfers or assigns any of the Warrants to a party who or which would not be
considered such an affiliate, such assignment shall be made subject to the
transferee's or assignee's specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 2.2 as if such transferee or assignee were the original Holder
hereof.

                2.3 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used herein, each of the following
terms has the meaning set forth below, unless the context otherwise requires:

                (a) "Commencement Date" means the date which is the earlier of
(i) sixty-five (65) days after the Issue Date, or (ii) the Effective Date.

                (b) "Expiration Date" means the date which is the last day of
the calendar month in which the third anniversary of the Effective Date occurs.

                                       3

<PAGE>

        3. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon
exercise of this Warrant, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the number
of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance of the Warrant
Shares for the then unexercised portion of this Warrant. For the purposes of
such calculations, the Company should assume that the outstanding portion of
this Warrant was exercisable in full at any time, without regard to any
restrictions which might limit the Holder's right to exercise all or any portion
of this Warrant held by the Holder.

        4. MUTILATION OR LOSS OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of
reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver
a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

        5. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be
entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity,
and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and
are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

6. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS.

                6.1 ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM. If an adjustment of the Exercise Price
is required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than pursuant to Section 6.4), the
Holder shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as
will cause (i) (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase pursuant to this Warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by
(y) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the
dollar amount of the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled
to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total Exercise Price before
adjustment.(5)

                6.2 CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS. In case of any stock split or reverse
stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock,
recapitalization, merger or consolidation (where the Company is not the
surviving entity), the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such
capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to the date of this
Warrant and the original Exercise Price had been fairly allocated to the stock
resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other respects the provisions of
this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable

_________________

(5) [NOTE: ACTUAL AMOUNTS TO BE INSERTED IN FOOTNOTE TO EXECUTED WARRANT BASED
ON EXERCISE PRICE DETERMINED ON CLOSING DATE.] Example: Assume 10,000 shares
remain under Warrant at original stated Exercise Price of US$[1.00]. Total
exercise price (clause (y) in text) is (i) 10,000 x (ii) US$[1.00], or
US$[10,000]. Company effects 2:1 stock split. Exercise Price is adjusted to
US$[0.50]. Number of shares covered by Warrant is adjusted to 20,000, because
(applying clause (x) in text) (i) 20,000 x (ii) US$[0.50] = US$[10,000].

                                       4

manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof. A
rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to the extent
of the bargain purchase element of the rights. The Company will not effect any
consolidation or merger, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor
or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from
the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the
holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result
of such consolidation or merger assumes by written instrument the obligations
under this Warrant (including under this Section 6) and the obligations to
deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to
acquire.

                6.3 ADJUSTMENT FOR SPIN OFF. If, for any reason, prior to the
exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests
itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of
its assets in a transaction (the "Spin Off") in which the Company does not
receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes
securities of another entity (the "Spin Off Securities") to be issued to
security holders of the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved
Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to
the Holder had all of the Holder's unexercised Warrants outstanding on the
record date (the "Record Date") for determining the amount and number of Spin
Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the "Outstanding
Warrants") been exercised as of the close of business on the Trading Day
immediately before the Record Date (the "Reserved Spin Off Shares"), and (ii) to
be issued to the Holder on the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding
Warrants, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved
Spin Off Shares, multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the
amount of the Outstanding Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the
denominator is the amount of the Outstanding Warrants.

                6.4 ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Reference is made to
the provisions of Section 4(g) of the Agreement, the terms of which are
incorporated herein by reference. The number of shares covered by this Warrant
and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in the applicable
provisions of said Section 4(g) of the Agreement.

        7. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

                7.1 TRANSFER. This Warrant has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and has been issued to the
Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either the
Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant
Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective
registration statement under the Act relating to such security or an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the
Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security
issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the
face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company,
setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

                7.2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) Reference is made to the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Company's obligations under the Registration
Rights Agreement and the other terms and conditions thereof with respect to the
Warrant Shares, including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company's
commitment to file a registration statement including the Warrant Shares, to
have the registration of the Warrant Shares completed and effective, and to
maintain such registration, are incorporated herein by reference.

                (b) In addition to the registration rights referred to in the
preceding provisions of Section 7.2(a), effective after the expiration of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement as contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Holder shall have piggy-back registration rights with
respect to the Warrant Shares then held by the Holder or then subject to
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively, the "Remaining Warrant
Shares"), subject to the conditions set forth below. If, at any time after the
Registration Statement has ceased to be effective, the Company participates
(whether voluntarily or by reason of an obligation to a third party) in the
registration of any shares of the Company's stock (other than a registration on
Form S-8 or on Form S-4), the Company shall give written notice thereof to the
Holder and the Holder shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Trading
Days after receipt of such notice, to demand inclusion of all or a portion of
the Holder's Remaining Warrant Shares in such registration statement. If the
Holder exercises such election, the Remaining Warrant Shares so designated shall
be included in the registration statement at no cost or expense to the Holder
(other than any costs or commissions which would be borne by the Holder under
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement). The Holder's rights under this
Section 7 shall expire at such time as the Holder can sell all of the Remaining
Warrant Shares under Rule 144 without volume or other restrictions or limit.

        8. LATE DELIVERY OF WARRANT SHARES. Reference is made to Section 5(b) of
the Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

        9. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
manner provided in the Section headed "NOTICES" in the Agreement, the terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference.

        10. SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS; WHOLE AGREEMENT. This Warrant may be
amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties
hereto. This Warrant contains the full understanding of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no
representations, warranties, agreements or understandings other than expressly
contained herein and therein.

        11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be deemed to be a contract made
under the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly performed in
such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the
conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the
federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of New York or
the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York in
connection with any dispute arising under this Warrant and hereby waives, to the
maximum extent permitted

                                       6

by law, any objection, including any objection based on FORUM NON CONVENIENS, to
the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. To the extent
determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any
reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of
or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Agreements.

        12. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Company and the Holder hereby waive a trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the
Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in
connection with this Warrant.

        13. REMEDIES. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the
Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the
Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this
Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the
specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

        14. COUNTERPARTS. This Warrant may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and
the same instrument.

above such amount is hereby deemed void and revoked.
