               that Company shall have the right to refuse to pay all or any
               portion of any invoice pending verification of the accuracy of

               however, subject to the Subcontractor's right thereafter to

               documentation (i.e. time sheets, expenditure receipts, etc.)
               supporting Subcontractor's expenses to be reimbursed by Company.
               Such documentation must be attached to each invoice and will be
               reviewed by Company personnel for compliance with applicable laws
               and regulations prior to reimbursement. If the Company determines
               that the documentation is inadequate, Subcontractor shall provide
               additional data before payment is made to the Subcontractor.

          this Agreement. Subcontractor may not use the name of Company in any
          news release or advertising or any publications directed to the

          or employees shall be joint property of Company and Subcontractor. In

          the Services, Subcontractor grants to Contractor an option for an
          exclusive license on any such inventions, improvements, applications
          or patents. Contractor's right to elect and exercise said option shall
          expire six months after Subcontractor has provided written notice to

Work" of the attached HFECS Process Analysis and Testing, as directed by the
Company.

                  High-Frequency Eddy Current Separator (HFECS)
                          Process Analysis and Testing

1.0 Objective: The proposed work is to remove metallic grains in sands or slag
by means of a novel, patented device called HFECS. The dry mixture of foundry
sands is passed through the gap between the poles of a magnet. The metallic
granules are repelled from the falling stream of sand, and hence are separated
from the sand. This novel device uses a high-frequency oscillating-field magnet
to effect the separation of non-ferromagnetic electrically conductive materials.

2.0 Project Description: EMPS will produce a working model and engineering
prototype to gather data on operation performance and production requirements.
This unit will be tested with samples received from plants in the first year at
the University of Utah. In the second year the HFECS will be tested at plant
sites in the Salt Lake area.

3.0 Scientific Basis: An oscillating magnetic field is generated when
radio-frequency current is passed through a wire coil. As the electrically
conducting particle enters the field, an electromotive force (emf) is generated
on the particle itself. This emf generation is like the emf generation when an
electrical conductor moves in a fixed magnetic field or conversely a stationary
conductor in an oscillating magnetic field. Due to the emf, an eddy current
flows on the particle. These currents, in turn, induce their own magnetic field
around the particle. Lenz rule of physics states that the induced magnetic field
is vectorially opposed to the original or imposed oscillating field. Hence, the
particle experiences a repelling force. The repelling force depends on the
strength of the magnetic field, the frequency of oscillations, and the
cross-sectional area and electrical conductivity of the particle.

4.0 Literature: The eddy-current phenomenon has undergone intense theoretical
and experimental investigations. Scholmann (1) developed detailed theory of the
deflecting force experienced by a particle passing over a series of bar magnets
arranged with opposing poles adjacent to each other. Fletcher and co-workers
(2,3) examined Schlomann's theory in their own experimental setup and published
the results in series of papers. These theoretical developments have advanced to
"aluminum magnets" in use today, which separate large aluminum pieces from
landfill wastes.

5.0 Previous work: HFECS The eddy current separator was experimentally tested by
Kim (4) under Prof Raj Rajamani's supervision at the University of Utah. These
experimental results show that at higher frequencies the separation force
experienced by the particle is greater. Larger particle size, strong magnetic
field strength, and lighter particle density also contribute toward greater
separation force. Thus, an aluminum particle, which is four times lighter than a
lead, moves outward roughly five times more readily than lead.

In the test program, a mini-size belt feeder was constructed so it could feed a
mixtures of 1-2 mm aluminum beads and limestone into the gap of an
oscillating-field magnet. The magnet was energized to 1132 Gauss at a frequency
of 54 kHz. The feed stream was

<PAGE>

separated into two streams upon passing through the oscillating field, the
limestone falling straight through and the aluminum was deflected away from the
magnet's gap.

6.0 Environmental Benefits: Because this eddy-current separator operates without
the addition of water or chemical to the process stream, it can reduce the
potential for surface and groundwater contamination. The eddy-current separator
is designed to treat waste streams at the production plant resulting in
reduction of waste produced at the source.

7.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

Project Objective - The objective of this proposal is to conduct bench scale
testing of the high-frequency eddy-current separator provides by EMPS.

Task 1: Provide EMPS with technical details and methods of building HFECS.
Provide information on improving field strength and operational frequency of the
magnet.

Task 2: Build a continuous flow circuit to test foundry sands, slogs, magnesium
smut and other feed stock materials.

Task 3: Analyze the data to quantify the effect of variables on the separation
performance. Quantify the energy consumed for each material. Quantify cost of
operation.

Task 4: Operate the device in Salt Lake area plant sites and collect data.
Analyze data as in Task 3.

Task 5: Provide market analysis of the devices potential in industry.

     This  COMMON  STOCK  PURCHASE  AGREEMENT  (this "Agreement") is dated as of
September  19,  2001 by and between GTC Telecom Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company")  and  Bluefire  Capital,  Inc.,  a  Cayman  Islands  corporation (the
"Purchaser").

     WHEREAS,  the  parties  desire  that,  upon  the  terms  and subject to the
conditions  contained herein, the Company shall have the right to issue and sell
to  Purchaser  from  time  to  time  as  provided herein, and Purchaser shall be
obligated to purchase, up to $20,000,000 of Common Stock and the Warrant subject
to  the  terms  herein;  and

     WHEREAS,  such  investments  will  be  made  by  the Purchaser as statutory
underwriter  of  a  registered indirect primary offering of such Common Stock by
the  Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the promises and
covenants  herein  contained,  the  receipt  and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged  by the parties hereto, the parties, intending to be legally bound,
hereby  agree  as  follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1
                        PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK

Section  1.1. Purchase and Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement,  the  Company  may  sell  and  issue  to  the Purchaser and the
Purchaser  shall  be  obligated to purchase from the Company, up to an aggregate
of,  $10,000,000  of  Common  Stock  (the  "Commitment Amount") and the Warrant,
subject  to  the  terms  herein;  provided, however, that, the Commitment Amount
shall be up to $20,000,000 of Common Stock if at any time beginning one (1) year
after  the  Effective Date (i) the VWAP equals or exceeds $4 (adjusted for stock
splits and the like) for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ("Threshold Period"),
(ii)  during  the  Threshold  Period  and during the 10 consecutive Trading Days
either  immediately  before  or  after  the  Threshold  Period the average daily
trading  volume  equals  or  exceeds 75,000 shares, and (iii) on the Trading Day
immediately  after  the  Threshold Period the Company's market cap (based on the
average of the VWAPs during the Threshold Period) equals or exceeds $30,000,000.

Section 1.2. Purchase Price and Initial Closing. The Company agrees to issue and
sell  to the Purchaser and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the
representations,  warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the  Purchaser  agrees  to  purchase  that  number of the Shares to be issued in
connection  with  each  Draw Down. The delivery of executed documents under this
Agreement  and  the  other  agreements referred to herein and the payment of the
fees  set  forth  in  Article  I  of the Escrow Agreement, attached as Exhibit B
hereto,  (the  "Initial  Closing")  shall take place at the offices of Feldman &

the  sums  payable pursuant to this Agreement for late delivery of the Draw Down
Shares and pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement for a suspension of the
Registration Statement or suspension of the Purchaser's right to resell the Draw
Down  Shares  thereunder  shall constitute liquidated damages and not penalties.
The parties further acknowledge that (a) the amount of loss or damages likely to
be  incurred  is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (b) the amount
specified in such provisions bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or
grossly  disproportionate  to  the  probable  loss  likely to be incurred by the
Purchaser in connection with the failure of the Company to deliver the Draw Down
Shares  in a timely manner or the suspension of the Purchaser's rights to resell
the  Draw  Down Shares under the Registration Statement, and (c) the parties are
sophisticated  businesses  and  have  been represented by sophisticated and able
legal  and  financial  counsel  and  negotiated  this Agreement at arm's length.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section  2.1.  Representation  and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
makes  the  following  representations and warranties to the Purchaser except as
set  forth  in  the SEC Documents or on the Disclosure Schedules prepared by the
Company  and  attached  hereto,  or  as  contemplated  by  this  Agreement:

(a)          Organization,  Good  Standing  and  Power.  The  Company  is  a
corporation  duly  incorporated  validly existing and in good standing under the
laws  of  Nevada  and  has  all  requisite corporate authority to own, lease and
operate  its  properties  and  assets  and to carry on its business as now being
conducted,  except  as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company is
duly  qualified  to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
in  every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned  by  it  makes such qualification necessary, other than those in which the
failure  so  to  qualify  would  not  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

(b)          Authorization, Enforcement.  (i) The Company has the requisite
corporate power and corporate authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Draw Down Shares
pursuant to their respective terms, (ii) the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required, and (iii) the
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
at the Initial Closing shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors'
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(c)          Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 20,371,622 shares are
issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 preferred shares none of which are issued
and outstanding.  All of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock
have been duly and validly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable,
except as set forth in the SEC Documents.  No shares of Common Stock are
entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company.  Furthermore,
there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which
the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital
stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of
capital stock of the Company.  The Company is not a party to any agreement
granting registration rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or
debt securities.  The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any
agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock
of the Company.  The offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible
securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the
Initial Closing complied in all material respects with all applicable federal
and state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or
damages with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
Company has made available to the Purchaser true and correct copies of the
Company's articles or certificate of incorporation as in effect on the date
hereof (the "Charter"), and the Company's bylaws as in effect on the date hereof
(the "Bylaws").  The Company has not received any notice from the Principal
Market questioning or threatening the continued inclusion of the Common Stock on
such market.

(d)          Issuance of Shares.  The Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise
of the Warrant have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and,
when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms hereof and the Warrant,
the Warrant Shares shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a
holder of Common Stock.

(e)          No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated herein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the
Company's Charter or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a
party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of
the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a
party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective
properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal,
state, local or other foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including any federal or state securities laws and regulations)
applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except,
in all cases, for such conflicts, defaults, termination, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.  The business of the Company and its
subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or
regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which
singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse
Effect.  The Company is not required under any federal, state or local law, rule
or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any
filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the SEC or state
securities administrators subsequent to the Initial Closing and any registration
statement which may be filed pursuant hereto); provided, however, that for
purpose of the representations made in this sentence, the Company is assuming
and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of
the Purchaser herein.

(f)          SEC Documents, Financial Statements.  The Common Stock of the
Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the
Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  The Company has delivered or made available
to the Purchaser, through the EDGAR system or otherwise, true and complete
copies of the SEC Documents filed with the SEC since December 31, 1999.  The
Company has not provided to the Purchaser any information which, according to
applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly by the
Company but which has not been so disclosed, other than with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  As of their respective filing
dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such documents, and,
as of their respective filing dates, none of the SEC Documents contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements under GAAP
and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods
involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements
or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the
extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary
statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position
of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

(g)          Subsidiaries.  The SEC Documents or the Disclosure Schedule sets
forth each subsidiary of the Company, showing the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of the Company's
ownership of the outstanding stock or other interests of such subsidiary.  For
the purposes of this Agreement, "subsidiary" shall mean any corporation or other
entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership
interests having ordinary voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the
election of directors or other persons performing similar functions are at the
time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other
subsidiaries.  All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each
subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and
non-assessable.  There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other
rights, options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any
subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any
subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent
or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the
capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants
or options of the type described in the preceding sentence.  Neither the Company
nor any subsidiary is a party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any
subsidiary.

(h)          No Material Adverse Effect.  Since the date of the financial
statement contained in the most recently filed Form 10-Q (or 10-QSB) or Form
10-K (or 10-KSB), whichever is most current, no Material Adverse Effect has
occurred or exists with respect to the Company.

(i)          No Undisclosed Liabilities.  Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether
liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent
or otherwise) that would be required to be disclosed on a balance sheet of the
Company or any subsidiary (including the notes thereto) in conformity with GAAP
which are not disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the
ordinary course of the Company's or its subsidiaries' respective businesses
since such date and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its subsidiaries.

(j)          No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since the date of the
financial statement contained in the most recently filed Form 10- Q (or 10-QSB)
or Form 10-K (or 10-KSB), whichever is most current, no event or circumstance
has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its businesses,
properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable
law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the
date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed in the SEC Documents.

(k)          Indebtedness.  The SEC Documents or the Disclosure Schedule sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any subsidiary has
commitments.  For the purposes of this Agreement, "Indebtedness" shall mean (A)
any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $500,000 (other
than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (B)
all guaranties, endorsements and contingent obligations in respect of
Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in
the Company's balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (C) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $500,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is
in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

(l)          Title to Assets.  Each of the Company and the subsidiaries has good
and marketable title to all of its real and personal property reflected in the
SEC Documents, free of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security
interests or other encumbrances, except for those that do not cause a Material
Adverse Effect.  All said leases of the Company and each of its subsidiaries are
valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.

(m)          Actions Pending.  As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit,
claim, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against the Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to
be taken pursuant hereto or thereto.  There is no action, suit, claim,
investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened, against or involving the Company, any subsidiary or any of their
respective properties or assets, except as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.  There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or
decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the
Company or any subsidiary.

(n)          Compliance with Law.  The Company and each of its subsidiaries have
all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory
authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of their respective
businesses as now being conducted by them unless the failure to possess such
franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory
authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o)          Taxes.  The Company and each subsidiary has filed all material Tax
Returns which it is required to file under applicable laws; all such material
Tax Returns are true and accurate and have been prepared in compliance with all
applicable laws; the Company has paid all material Taxes due and owing by it or
any subsidiary (whether or not such material Taxes are required to be shown on a
Tax Return) and has withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authorities
all material Taxes which it is required to withhold from amounts paid or owing
to any employee, stockholder, creditor or other third parties; and since
December 31, 2000, the charges, accruals and reserves for material Taxes with
respect to the Company (including any provisions for deferred income taxes)
reflected on the books of the Company are adequate to cover any Tax liabilities
of the Company if its current tax year were treated as ending on the date
hereof.

     No  material  claim  has  been made by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction
where  the  Company does not file tax returns that the Company or any subsidiary
is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.  Except as would not have
a  Material  Adverse  Effect,  there are no foreign, federal, state or local tax
audits or administrative or judicial proceedings pending or being conducted with
respect  to the Company or any subsidiary; no information related to Tax matters
has  been  requested  by  any foreign, federal, state or local taxing authority;
and,  except  as disclosed above, no written notice indicating an intent to open
an audit or other review has been received by the Company or any subsidiary from
any  foreign,  federal,  state or local taxing authority.  There are no material
unresolved  questions  or  claims  concerning  the Company's Tax liability.  The
Company  (A)  has  not  executed or entered into a closing agreement pursuant to
7121  of  the  Internal Revenue Code or any predecessor provision thereof or any
similar  provision  of state, local or foreign law; and (B) has not agreed to or
is  required  to  make  any  adjustments  pursuant  to   481 (a) of the Internal
Revenue  Code  or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law by reason
of  a  change  in  accounting  method  initiated  by  the  Company or any of its
subsidiaries  or has any knowledge that the IRS has proposed any such adjustment
or  change  in accounting method, or has any application pending with any taxing
authority  requesting  permission  for  any  changes  in accounting methods that
relate to the business or operations of the Company.  The Company has not been a
United  States  real  property  holding  corporation  within  the  meaning  of
897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code during the applicable period specified in
897(c)(1)(A)(ii)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.

     The Company has not made an election under   341(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code.  The  Company  is not liable for the Taxes of another person that is not a
subsidiary  of  the  Company  under  (A)  Treas.  Reg.   1.1502-6 (or comparable
provisions  of  state,  local or foreign law), (B) as a transferee or successor,
(C)  by  contract  or indemnity or (D) otherwise.  The Company is not a party to
any  tax  sharing  agreement.  The  Company  has  not  made any payments, is not
obligated to make payments nor is it a party to an agreement that could obligate
it  to  make  any  payments  that  would  not  be deductible under   280G of the
Internal  Revenue  Code.

"Tax  Return"  means  any  return,  information report or filing with respect to
Taxes,  including  any  schedules  attached  thereto and including any amendment
thereof.

commissions will be payable by the Company or any subsidiary with respect to the
transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement.

(q)          Disclosure.  To  the  best of the Company's knowledge, neither this
Agreement  or  the  Schedules  hereto  nor  any other documents, certificates or
instruments  furnished  to  the  Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any
subsidiary  in  connection  with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
contains  any  untrue  statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact  necessary  in  order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the
light  of  the  circumstances  under which they were made herein or therein, not
misleading.

(r)          Operation of Business.  The Company and each of the subsidiaries
owns or possesses all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and authorizations as set forth in the SEC Documents or on

industries.

(t)          Books and Records.  The records and documents of the Company and
its subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the information
relating to the business of the Company and the subsidiaries, the location and
collection of their assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to
the obligations or accounts receivable of the Company or any subsidiary.

(u)          Material Agreements.  Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is a
party to any written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment,
obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of which would be required to be filed
with the SEC as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form S-1 or other
applicable form (collectively, "Material Agreements") if the Company or any
subsidiary were registering securities under the Securities Act.  The Company
and each of its subsidiaries has in all material respects performed all the
obligations required to be performed by them to date under the foregoing
agreements, have received no notice of default and, to the best of the Company's
knowledge are not in default under any Material Agreement now in effect, the
result of which would cause a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth in
the SEC Documents, no written or oral contract, instrument, agreement,
commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement of the Company or of any subsidiary
limits or shall limit the payment of dividends on the Company's Common Stock.

(v)          Transactions with Affiliates.  There are no loans, leases,

and (B) on the other hand, any officer, employee, consultant or director of the
Company, or any of its subsidiaries, or any person owning 5% or more of the
capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary or any member of the immediate

employee, consultant, director or stockholder.

(w)          Securities Laws.  The Company has complied and will comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer,
issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder.  Neither the Company nor anyone
acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, has or will sell, offer to sell or
solicit offers to buy the Shares or similar securities to, or solicit offers
with respect thereto from, or enter into any preliminary conversations or
negotiations relating thereto with, any person (other than the Purchaser), so as
to bring the issuance and sale of the Shares under the registration provisions
of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  Neither the Company
nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has
engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the
meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer
or sale of the Shares.

(x)          Employees.  Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any
collective bargaining arrangements or agreements covering any of its employees.
Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in breach of any employment contract,

the Company or any subsidiary.

current,  neither  the  Company  nor  any  subsidiary  has:

(i)     issued  any  stock,  bonds  or other corporate securities or any rights,
options  or  warrants  with  respect  thereto  (other  than  pursuant  to equity
incentive  plans  or  arrangements  adopted  by  the  Company);

(ii)     borrowed any material amount or incurred or become subject to any

the current nature and volume of the Company's or such subsidiary's business;

aggregate would be material to the Company or its subsidiaries.

(z)          Governmental  Approvals.  Except for the filing of any notice prior

Documents and to purchase the Shares being sold to it hereunder.  The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action and at the Initial Closing shall

liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application

(c)          No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated

acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Purchaser is a party, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or

investigation.  The Purchaser is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of
an investment in the Shares and the Warrant by virtue of its experience as an
investor and its knowledge, experience, and sophistication in financial and
business matters and the Purchaser is capable of bearing the entire loss of its
investment in the Shares and the Warrant.

(e)          Accredited Investor.  The Investor is an "accredited investor" as

or  decree  or  award  has been issued by or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser,
requested  of  any  court,  arbitrator  or  governmental  agency.

                                    ARTICLE 3
                                    COVENANTS

     The  Company  covenants  with  the  Purchaser  as  follows:

Section 3.1. The Shares. As of the date of each applicable Draw Down Notice, the
Company  will  have authorized and reserved, free of preemptive rights and other
similar  contractual  rights  of  stockholders,  a  sufficient  number  of  its
authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock to cover the Draw Down Shares
to  be  issued in connection with such Draw Down requested under this Agreement.
The Draw Down Shares to be issued under this Agreement, when paid for and issued
in  accordance  with  the  terms  hereof,  shall  be duly and validly issued and
outstanding,  fully paid and non-assessable, and the Purchaser shall be entitled
to  all  rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Anything in this Agreement
to  the  contrary  notwithstanding,  the Company may not make a Draw Down to the
extent  that,  after  such  purchase  by the Purchaser, the sum of the number of
shares  of  Common  Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates
would result in beneficial ownership by the Purchaser and its affiliates of more
than  9.9%  of  the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the
immediately  preceding  sentence,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in
accordance  with  Section  13(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act.

Section  3.2. Securities Compliance. If applicable, the Company shall notify the
Principal  Market,  in  accordance  with  its  rules  and  regulations,  of  the
transactions  contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary
action  and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule
and  regulation,  for the legal and valid issuance of the Shares and the Warrant
to  the  Purchaser.

Section  3.3.  Registration and Listing. The Company will cause its Common Stock
to  continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
will  comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the
Exchange  Act,  will  comply  with  all requirements related to any registration
statement  filed  pursuant to this Agreement, and will not to take any action or
file  any  document  (whether  or  not  permitted  by  the Securities Act or the

                                DRAW DOWN TERMS

Section  5.1. Draw Down Terms. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth  in  this  Agreement,  the  parties  agree  as  follows:

(a)          The  Company  may,  in its sole discretion, issue and exercise draw
downs  against  the Commitment Amount (each a "Draw Down") during the Commitment
Period,  which Draw Downs the Purchaser shall be obligated to accept, subject to
the  terms  and  conditions  herein.

(b)          Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing
Period and the Company may not exercise a Draw Down until the applicable Trading
Cushion has elapsed since the last Settlement Date.  The number of shares of
Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser with respect to each Draw Down shall be
determined as set forth in Section 5.1(e) herein and, in the event of a Short
Pricing Period, settled on or before the 2nd Trading Day immediately after the
Short Pricing Period and, in the event of a Long Pricing Period, settled:

(i)  as  to  the  1st  through the 10th Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing
Period,  on  or  before the 12th Trading Day after such Draw Down Pricing Period
commences;  and

(ii)  as  to  the 11th through the 20th Trading Day during the Draw Down Pricing
Period commences, on or before the 22nd Trading Day after such Draw Down Pricing
Period  (such  settlement periods and such settlement dates in the last sentence
of  subsection  (b) above, subsection (i) and this subsection (ii) each referred
to  as  a  "Settlement  Period"  and  a  "Settlement  Date",  respectively).

(c)  In  connection  with  each  Long  Pricing  Period,  the Company may set the
Threshold  Price  in the Draw Down Notice. In connection with each Short Pricing
Period,  the  Company  shall  not be permitted to set any Threshold Price in the
Draw  Down  Notice.

(d)  The  minimum  Investment Amount for any Draw Down shall be $100,000 and the
maximum  Investment Amount as to each Draw Down shall be equal to 10% of the EQY
weighted  average  price  field  for  the Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg
Financial  L.P.  using  the  BLPH function) for the 60 calendar days immediately
prior  to  the  applicable  Commencement  Date (defined below) multiplied by the
total  aggregate  trading volume in respect of the Common Stock for such period.
Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to  the  contrary,  in  the event the minimum
Investment Amount is greater than the maximum Investment Amount, as to such Draw
Down  only,  the  minimum  Investment  Amount shall equal the maximum Investment
Amount,  but  in  no  event  shall  the  minimum  Investment Amount be less than
$25,000,  such  that if the maximum Investment Amount is less than $25,000, then
the  Company  shall  be  precluded  from  exercising  a  Draw Down at such time.

(e)     The  number  of  Shares  of Common Stock to be issued on each Settlement
Date  shall  be a number of shares equal to, as to the Short Pricing Period, the
Investment  Amount  divided  by  88%  of  the  lowest Bid Price during the Short
Pricing  Period,  and,  as  to the Long Pricing Period, the sum of the quotients
(for  each  Trading  Day  within  the  Settlement  Period)  of (x) 1/20th of the
Investment  Amount,  and  (y)  the Purchase Price on each Trading Day within the
Settlement  Period,  subject  to  the  following  adjustments:

(i)     as  to  Long Pricing Periods only, if the VWAP on a given Trading Day is
less  than the Threshold Price, then that portion of the Investment Amount to be
paid  on  the  immediately pending Settlement Date shall be reduced by 1/20th of
the  Investment  Amount  and  such  Trading  Day  shall  be  withdrawn  from the
Settlement  Period;

(ii)  if  during  any  Trading  Day  during the Settlement Period trading of the
Common  Stock on the Principal Market is suspended for more than 3 hours, in the
aggregate,  or  if  any  Trading  Day  during the Settlement Period is shortened
because  of a public holiday, then, as to a Short Pricing Period, such Draw Down
Pricing  Period  shall be extended for each such Trading Day for an equal number
of Trading Days and, as to a Long Pricing Period, that portion of the Investment
Amount to be paid on the immediately pending Settlement Date shall be reduced by
1/20th  of  the Investment Amount for each such suspension and such Trading Days
shall  be  withdrawn  from  the  Settlement  Period;  and

(iii)  if during any Trading Day during the Settlement Period sales of Draw Down
Shares  pursuant  to  the Registration Statement are suspended by the Company in
accordance  with  Sections 3(j) or 5(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement for
more than three (3) hours, in the aggregate, during the Settlement Period, then,
as  to any Short Pricing Period, such Draw Down Pricing Period shall be extended
for  each such Trading Day for an equal number of Trading Days so suspended and,
as to a Long Pricing Period, that portion of the Investment Amount to be paid on
the  immediately  pending  Settlement  Date  shall  be  reduced by 1/20th of the
Investment  Amount  and such Trading Days shall be withdrawn from the Settlement
Period.

(f)  The  Company must inform the Purchaser by delivering a draw down notice, in
the  form  of  Exhibit  D  hereto  (the  "Draw  Down  Notice"),  via  facsimile
transmission  in  accordance  with Section 8.4 as to the amount of the Draw Down
(the "Investment Amount") the Company wishes to exercise and whether the Company
elects a Short Pricing Period or a Long Pricing Period. As to a Draw Down Notice
delivered  in connection with a Long Pricing Period, Draw Down Notice shall also
inform  the  Purchaser  the  first  day  of  the  Draw  Down Pricing Period (the
"Commencement  Date");  provided; however, if the Commencement Date shall be the
date  on  which  the  Draw  Down  Notice is delivered, the Draw Down Notice must
delivered  to  the  Purchaser  at  least 1 hour before trading commences on such
Trading  Day  date.  At no time shall the Purchaser be required to purchase more
than  the  maximum  Investment  Amount  for  a  given  Draw Down Pricing Period.

(g)  On  or  before  each Settlement Date, the Shares purchased by the Purchaser
shall  be  delivered  to The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") on the Purchaser's
behalf.  Upon the Company electronically delivering whole shares of Common Stock
to  the  Purchaser or its designees via DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission  ("DWAC")  system  prior  to  1:00  p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall wire
transfer immediately available funds to the Company's designated account on such
day,  less  any  fees  as set forth in the Escrow Agreement, which fees shall be
wired  as  directed  in  the  Escrow  Agreement. Upon the Company electronically
delivering  whole  shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser or its designee's DTC
account  via DWAC after 1:00 p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall wire transfer next day
available  funds  to the Company's designated account on such day, less any fees
as  set  forth in the Escrow Agreement, which fees shall be wired as directed in
the  Escrow  Agreement.  In the event that either party elects to use the Escrow
Agent, the Shares shall be credited by the Company to the DTC account designated
by  the  Purchaser  via DWAC upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of payment for the
Draw Down Shares into the Escrow Agent's master escrow account and notice to the
Company  thereof,  all  as further set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow
Agent  shall  be  directed to pay the purchase price to the Company, net of $500
per Settlement as escrow expenses to the Escrow Agent and any additional fees as
set  forth  in  the  Escrow  Agreement.

(h)     The  Company  understands  that a delay in the delivery of the Draw Down
Shares  into  the  Purchaser's DTC account beyond 3 Trading Days after the dates
set  forth herein or in the Escrow Agreement, as may be applicable, could result
in  economic  loss  to  the  Purchaser.  Notwithstanding  anything herein to the
contrary,  as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to
pay  late  payments to the Purchaser for late delivery after 3 Trading Days from
such  dates  in  accordance with the following schedule (where "No. Trading Days
Late"  is  defined  as the number of Trading Days beyond 3 Trading Days from the
dates  set forth herein or in the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, on which such
Draw  Down  Shares  are to be delivered into the Purchaser's DTC account via the
DWAC  system):

     Late  Payment  for  Each
     $5,000  of  Draw  Down  Shares

     No.  Trading  Days  Late     Being  Purchased
     1     $100
     2     $200
     3     $300
     4     $400
     5     $500
     6     $600
     7     $700
     8     $800
     9     $900
     10     $1,000

     More  than  10     $1,000  +$200  for each Trading
     Day Late beyond  10  Trading  Days

     The  Company  shall  pay any payments incurred under this Section 5.1(h) in
immediately  available  funds  upon  demand.  Nothing  herein  shall  limit  the
Purchaser's  right  to  pursue  injunctive  relief and/or actual damages for the
Company's  failure  to  issue  and  deliver the Draw Down Shares to the Company.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  TERMINATION

shall end 36 months from the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in Section
6.2.

Section  6.2.     Other  Termination.

(a)  This  Agreement shall terminate upon one (1) Trading Day's notice if (i) an
event resulting in a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and has not been cured
for  a  period  of thirty (30) days after giving notice thereof, (ii) the Common
Stock  is  de-listed  from  the  Principal  Market  unless such de-listing is in
connection  with  the  Company's  subsequent  listing of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq  National  Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange or
the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  or (iii) the Company files for protection from
creditors  under  any  applicable  law.

(b)     The Company may terminate this Agreement upon 1 Trading Day's notice if
the Purchaser shall fail to fund more than 1 properly noticed Draw Down within 5
Trading Days of the end of the applicable Settlement Period.

Section  6.3.     Effect  of  Termination.

     In  the  event  of  termination  of  this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2
herein,  written  notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and
the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement shall be terminated without
further  action by either party.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided in
Section  6.1  or  6.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further
force  and  effect,  except for Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.9, and Article 7 herein,
which  shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section
6.3  shall  be deemed to release the Company or the Purchaser from any liability
for  any  breach under this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Company or
the  Purchaser  to  compel  specific  performance  by  the  other  party  of its
obligations  under  this  Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 7

Section  7.1.     General  Indemnity.

(a)  The  Company  agrees  to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (and its
directors,  officers,  affiliates,  agents,  successors  and  assigns)  from and
against  any  and  all  losses,  liabilities,  deficiencies,  costs, damages and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and
disbursements)  incurred  by  the  Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or
breach  of  the  representations,  warranties  or  covenants made by the Company
herein.

(b)  The  Purchaser  agrees  to  indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against
any  and  all  losses,  liabilities,  deficiencies,  costs, damages and expenses
(including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  charges  and
disbursements)  incurred  by the Company as result of any material inaccuracy in
or  breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchaser
herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall be
liable  under  this  Section  7.1(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the
gross  proceeds  to  the  Purchaser  as  a  result  of  the  sale of the Shares.

Section  7.2.  Indemnification  Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification
under  this  Article  7 (an "Indemnified Party") will give written notice to the
indemnifying  party  of  any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification;
provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to
give  notice  as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations  under  this  Article  7  except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action,
proceeding  or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate  in  and,  unless  in  the  reasonable  judgment  of  counsel to the
Indemnified  Party  a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party
may  exist  with  respect  of  such  action,  proceeding or claim, to assume the
defense  thereof  with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
In  the  event  that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it
will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty
(30)  days  of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such
person  of  its  election  to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and
expense,  any  action,  proceeding  or claim (or discontinues its defense at any
time  after  it  commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its
option,  defend,  settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In
any  event,  unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume
and  does  so  assume  the  defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the
Indemnified  Party's  costs  (including  reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and
disbursements) and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise
of  any  such  action,  claim  or  proceeding  shall  be  losses  subject  to
indemnification  hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying  party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of
any  such  action  or  claim  by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the
indemnifying  party  all  information  reasonably  available  to the Indemnified
Party,  which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep
the  Indemnified  Party  fully  apprised  at  all  times as to the status of the
defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying
party  elects  to  defend  any  such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party
shall  be  entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at
its  sole  cost  and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written
consent.  Notwithstanding  anything  in  this  Article  7  to  the contrary, the
indemnifying  party  shall  not,  without  the Indemnified Party's prior written
consent,  settle  or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in
respect  thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or
which  does  not  include,  as  an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant  or  the  plaintiff  to  the  Indemnified  Party  of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article
7  shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
investigation  or  defense,  as  and  when  bills are received or expense, loss,
damage  or liability is incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice
thereof  to  the indemnifying party so long as the Indemnified Party irrevocably
agrees to refund such moneys, with interest, if it is ultimately determined by a
court  of  competent  jurisdiction  that  such  party  was  not  entitled  to
indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition
to  (a)  any  cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against
the  indemnifying  party  or  others,  and  (b)  any  liabilities  to  which the
indemnifying  party  may  be  subject.

Purchaser agree to exclusively submit themselves to the in personam jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts situated within the Southern District of the
State of New York with regard to any controversy arising out of or relating to
this Agreement.  Any dispute under this Agreement or any Exhibit attached hereto
shall be submitted to arbitration under the American Arbitration Association
(the "AAA") in New York City, New York, and shall be finally and conclusively
determined by the decision of a board of arbitration consisting of three (3)
members (hereinafter referred to as the "Board of Arbitration") selected as
according to the rules governing the AAA.  The Board of Arbitration shall meet
on consecutive business days in New York City, New York, and shall reach and
render a decision in writing (concurred in by a majority of the members of the
Board of Arbitration) with respect to the amount, if any, which the losing party
is required to pay to the other party in respect of a claim filed.  In
connection with rendering its decisions, the Board of Arbitration shall adopt
and follow the laws of the State of New York.  To the extent practical,
decisions of the Board of Arbitration shall be rendered no more than thirty (30)
calendar days following commencement of proceedings with respect thereto.  The

parties involved in the dispute. The Board of Arbitration shall be authorized
and is directed to enter a default judgment against any party refusing to
participate in the arbitration proceeding within thirty days of any deadline for
such participation. Any decision made by the Board of Arbitration (either prior
to or after the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period) shall be
final, binding and conclusive on the parties to the dispute, and entitled to be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction.  The prevailing party shall be awarded its costs,
including attorneys' fees, from the non-prevailing party as part of the
arbitration award.  Any party shall have the right to seek injunctive relief
from any court of competent jurisdiction in any case where such relief is
available.  The prevailing party in such injunctive action shall be awarded its
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, from the non-prevailing party.

Section 8.10.     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart.  Execution may be made by delivery
by facsimile.

Section 8.11.     Publicity.  Neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue
any press release or otherwise make any public statement or announcement with
respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the
existence of this Agreement, except those disclosures legally required, without
the prior written consent of the other party.  After the Initial Closing, the
Company may issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement or
announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or the existence of this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to
issuing any such press release, making any such public statement or
announcement, the Company obtains the prior consent of the Purchaser, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.12.     Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable
and, in the event that The Board of Arbitration or any court or officials of any
regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more
of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall,
for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision or part of a provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be
reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision,
or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such
provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible,
so long as such construction does not materially adversely affect the economic
rights of either party hereto.

Section 8.13.     Further Assurances.  From and after the date of this
Agreement, upon the request of the Purchaser or the Company, each of the Company
and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and
other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry
out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
Section  8.14.     Effectiveness  of  Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall  become
effective  only  upon  satisfaction  of  the conditions precedent to the Initial
