         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, UNIVERSAL BEVERAGES, INC., a Florida Corporation,
promises to pay to the order of TELCOA INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware
Corporation, its successors and assigns (hereinafter "Lender") at 8362 Pines

may designate in writing, delivered or mailed to Maker, in lawful money of the
United States of America, the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), together with interest thereon from the date
hereof, payable in immediately available funds as follows:

         Monthly payments of interest in the sum of Two Thousand Nine Hundred
Sixteen and 66/100 ($2,916.66) shall be due on September 17, 1999, October 17,
1999 and November 17, 1999.

         Thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest in the sum
Twenty Nine Thousand Four Hundred Twenty Three and 20/100 Dollars ($29,423.20)
shall be due and payable on December 17, 1999 and on the like day of each month
until August 16, 2000 on which date the entire unpaid principal balance of this
Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in
full.

         During the term of this Note, interest shall accrue on the disbursed
and outstanding principal balance hereof at a rate equal to fourteen percent
(14%).

         Interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred
sixty (360) day year but charged on the actual number of days elapsed.

         All payments made under this Note shall be applied first to accrued
interest and the balance of same towards reduction of the principal due
hereunder.

         A late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment then due shall
be imposed on any payment not made within ten (10) days of the due date. In no
event shall this provision waive Lender's right to declare a default and
accelerate and demand immediate payment of all of the outstanding principal
balance for any payment not made within ten (10) days of the due date for said
payment.

         If in the event of Maker's failure to pay any installment of principal
or interest when due hereunder, or if an event of default occurs under any
document or instrument securing payment hereof or otherwise related hereto, then
all of the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall, at Lender's option, become immediately due and payable.
If any principal or interest payment is not made within ten (10) days from the
due date for said payment, then interest shall be due and payable on the whole

<PAGE>

of the unpaid principal balance AT THE MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE PERMITTED BY
FLORIDA LAW, and if no such rate has been established, then at the rate of
eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Maker and any endorsers or guarantors of this
Note, for themselves, their heirs, legal representatives, successors, and
assigns, respectively and severally waive presentment for payment, demand,
protest, notice of dishonor and diligence in collection, and waive any right to
be released by reason of any extension of time or change in terms of payment or
any change, alteration or release of any security given for the payment hereof,
and jointly and severally agree to pay all attorneys' fees if, after default
hereunder or under any instrument securing this Note, an attorney is retained by
Lender to secure collection hereof, whether or not litigation is required, and
if litigation is required, such attorneys' fees shall include fees for both
trial and all appellate proceedings.

         The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in any other instrument
securing payment of this Note, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be
pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of the
Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefore shall arise. No act
or omission or commission of the Lender, including any failure to exercise any
right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the
same, any waiver or release to be effected only through a written document
executed by the Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein.
A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as
continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of any subsequent right,
remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.

         Maker may not prepay the principal amount outstanding in part or in
full.

         Maker agrees, upon Lenders request, to pay all taxes, including without
limitation documentary stamps, additional intangible tax if applicable,
interest, duties and other charges related to this Note and payments hereunder,
in addition to principal and interest on the Note, exclusive of United States
income taxes and Florida income taxes imposed on the Lender.

         It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with all applicable
usury laws. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the
contrary in this Note or in any other document securing payment hereof or
otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Note or such other documents
require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the
maxi8mum amount permitted by such laws. If any such excess of interest is
contracted for, charged or received under this Note, or under the terms of any
other document securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, or in the
event the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby is accelerated in whole
or in part, or in the event that all or part of the principal or interest of the
Note shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of
interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note shall exceed the
maximum amount of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws, then in any
such event, (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern or control, (b)
neither the Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the
payment of this Note shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to
the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
the applicable usury laws, (c) any such excess which may have been collected
shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount
hereof or refunded to Maker, at Lender's option, and (d) the effective rate of
interest for this Note shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate
allowed for this Note under the applicable usury jurisdiction thereof.

<PAGE>

         Maker and any endorsers or guarantors of this Note ("Obligor(s)"), for
themselves, their heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns,
respectively and severally hereby expressly consent to any and all extensions
and renewals, in whole or in part, and all delays in time of payment or other
performance which Lender may grant or permit at any time and from time to time
without limitation, and without any notice to or further consent of any Obligor.
No action or inaction by Lender shall discharge any party liable for the payment
hereof, and the liability of all such parties shall continue until actual and
full payment is received by Lender. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the release or discharge of any Obligor shall not discharge any other
Obligor, and the release or impairment of collateral, the taking of a renewal
note for part or all of the indebtedness hereunder, or a change in the interest
rate, shall not discharge any Obligor.

         Maker shall establish and maintain, at its expense, a lockbox (the
"Lockbox") with such bank as is acceptable to Lender into which Maker shall
promptly deposit and direct its account debtors to directly remit all payments
for accounts due to Maker. Maker shall provide Lender with copies of all
purchase orders (or their equivalent) and all invoices evidencing an account of
Maker after the date hereof until this Note is paid in full, which purchase
orders and invoices shall contain a legend directing the purchaser to remit the
payment arising therefrom to the Lockbox. The sole signator of the Lockbox
account shall be Harvey Judkowitz. Harvey Judkowitz shall make payments to
Lender pursuant to the terms of this Note from the payments remitted to the
Lockbox. Maker may disburse any surplus within any particular month to Maker
after payment to Lender. Harvey Judkowitz shall provide the Lender and the Maker
a Monthly accounting of all funds received and disbursed from the Lockbox.

         This Note shall be construed, enforced and governed under the laws of
the State of Florida.

         This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change,
modification or discharge is sought.

pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its subsidiaries
relating to the Company or any of its directors or officers.

                         (i) Reporting Company. The Company is a publicly-held
company subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Sections 15(d) and 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). The Company's
common stock is trading on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board ("Bulletin Board").
Pursuant to the provisions of the 1934 Act, the Company has filed all reports
and other materials required to be filed thereunder with the Securities and
Exchange Commission during the preceding twelve months.

                         (j) No Market Manipulation. The Company has not taken,
and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might
reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of
the price of the common stock of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of
the Securities or affect the price at which the Securities may be issued.

                         (k) Information Concerning Company. The Reports and
Other Written Information contain all material information relating to the
Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates
which information is required to be disclosed therein. Since the date of the
financial statements included in the Reports, and except as modified in the
Other Written Information, there has been no material adverse change in the
Company's business, financial condition or affairs not disclosed in the Reports.

                                       4
<PAGE>

The Reports and Other Written Information do not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

                         (l) Dilution. The number of Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note may increase substantially in certain circumstances,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading
price of the Common Stock declines prior to conversion of the Note. 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 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 Shares upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants is
binding upon the Company and enforceable, except as otherwise described in this
Subscription Agreement or the Note, regardless of the dilution such issuance may
have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

                         (m) Stop Transfer. The Securities are restricted
securities as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop
transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of the Securities,
except as may be required by law.

                         (n) Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or ByLaws. Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in default under or in violation
of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which
it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation
would have a material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) in default with
respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to
or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any
action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust,
monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters, or (iii) to
its knowledge in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority which violation would have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

                         (o) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor
any of its subsidiaries, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has
directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings
by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder
approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and
regulations of the Bulletin Board, as applicable, nor will the Company or any of
its subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the
Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

                         (p) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor
any of its subsidiaries, nor to its knowledge, 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 Act) in connection with the offer
or sale of the Securities.

                         (q) Listing. The Company's Common Stock is listed for
trading on the Bulletin Board and satisfies all requirements for the
continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its
common stock will be delisted from the Bulletin Board or that the Common Stock
does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.

                         (r) No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no
liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate,
which are not disclosed in the Reports and Other Written Information, other than
those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's businesses since

                                       5
<PAGE>

September 30, 2000 and which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition.

                         (s) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since
September 30, 2000, 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 Reports.

                         (t) Disability. The Company has no knowledge of any
impediment which would or could prevent the Company from becoming a fully
reporting company with a class of common stock registered pursuant to Section
12(g) of the 1934 Act.

                         (u) Correctness of Representations. The Company
represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and
correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, will be true and correct
as of the Closing Date, and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the
Subscriber prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the Closing Date. The foregoing representations and warranties
shall survive the Closing Date for two years.

                  3.     Regulation D Offering; Opinion. This Offering is being
made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated thereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion
acceptable to Subscriber from the Company's legal counsel opining on the
availability of the Regulation D exemption as it relates to the offer and
issuance of the Securities. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as
Exhibit C. The Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other legal
opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the conversion of the
Note and exercise of the Warrants.

                  4.     Reissuance of Securities. The Company agrees to reissue
certificates representing the Securities without the legends set forth in
Sections 1(e) and 1(f) above (a) at such time as the holder thereof is permitted
to and disposes of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(d) and/or Rule 144(k)
under the 1933 Act in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, or (b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after
the Securities are registered under the 1933 Act. The Company agrees to
cooperate with the Subscriber in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule
144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such
resales provided the Company and its counsel receive all reasonably requested
representations from the Subscriber and selling broker, if any. If the Company
fails to remove any legend as required by this Section 4 (a "Legend Removal
Failure"), then beginning on the tenth (10th) day following such failure, the
Company continues to fail to remove such legend, the Company shall pay to each
Subscriber or assignee holding shares subject to a Legend Removal Failure an
amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price of the shares subject to
a Legend Removal Failure per day that such failure continues. If during any
twelve (12) month period, the Company fails to remove any legend as required by
this Section 4 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, each Subscriber or assignee
holding Securities subject to a Legend Removal Failure may, at its option,
require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the Securities subject to
a Legend Removal Failure held by such Subscriber or assignee at a price per
share equal to 120% of the applicable Purchase Price.

                  5.     Warrants. The Company will also issue and deliver, at
the Closing, to the Subscribers, the Warrants, a form of which is annexed hereto
as Exhibit D. The Subscriber will receive one Warrant for each Company Share
that would be received by the Subscriber assuming conversion of the Note at the
Maximum Base Price, as defined in the Note. The per share "Purchase Price" of
Common Stock as defined in the Warrant shall be equal to one hundred and ten
percent (110%) of the closing price of the Common Stock for the trading day
preceding but not including the Closing Date as reported on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American

                                       6

Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the
time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the
"Principal Market"), or such other principal market or exchange where the Common
Stock is listed or traded.

                  6.     Fees.

                         (a) The Company shall pay to counsel to the Subscriber
its fees of $25,000 for services rendered to Subscribers in connection with this
Agreement and the other Subscription Agreements for aggregate subscription
amounts of up to $5,000,000, and acting as escrow agent for the Offering. The
Company will pay to the Finders identified on Schedule B hereto the fees in the
amounts designated on Schedule B hereto ("Finder's Fee"). The Finder's Fee and
legal fees for the Offering must be paid on each Closing Date with respect to
the Notes issued on such date unless otherwise indicated on Schedule B hereto.
The legal fees will be payable out of funds held pursuant to a Funds Escrow
Agreement to be entered into by the Company, Subscriber and an Escrow Agent. The
Finder's Fee and legal fees will be paid to the Finders and attorneys only when,
as, and if a corresponding subscription amount is released from escrow to the
Company.

                         (b) The Finder's Fee will be paid in part by the
Company with Notes identical to the Notes issued to the Subscriber except that
the Notes to be issued to the Finders will not be secured and part in cash. All
the representations, covenants, warranties, undertakings, remedies, liquidated
damages, and indemnification, other rights including but not limited to
registration rights, and rights in Section 9 hereof, made or granted to or for
the benefit of the Subscriber are hereby also made and granted to the Finders in
respect of the Notes and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

                  7.     Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and
agrees with the Subscriber as follows:

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

                         (b) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of
the Company Shares, and Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
upon each national securities exchange, or automated quotation system, if any,
upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of

Stock shall be so listed. The Company will maintain the listing of its Common
Stock on a Principal Market, and will comply in all respects with the Company's
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company will provide the Subscriber copies of all notices it
receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the
Common Stock from any Principal Market.

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

                         (d) Until at least two (2) years after the

12(g) of the Exchange Act, (ii) comply in all respects with its reporting and

requirements that is applicable to an issuer with a class of Shares registered
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and (iv) comply with all

and filing obligations under said Acts until the later of (y) two (2) years
after the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such
other Registration Statement described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof, or (z) the
sale by the Subscribers and Warrant Recipients of all the Company Shares,
Securities and Put Securities issuable by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement. Until at least two (2) years after the Warrants have been exercised,
the Company will use its commercial best efforts to continue the listing of the
Common Stock on the Bulletin Board and will comply in all respects with the
Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of
the NASD and NASDAQ.

                         (e) The Company undertakes to use the proceeds of the
Subscriber's funds for the purposes set forth on Schedule 7(e) hereto. Except as

behalf of each holder of a Note, Put Note or Warrant, from its authorized but
unissued Common Stock, at all times that Notes, or Warrants remain outstanding,
a number of Common Shares equal to not less than 200% of the amount of Common
Shares necessary to allow each such holder to be able to convert all such
outstanding Notes, at the then applicable Conversion Price and one Common Share
for each Common Share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

                  8.     Covenants of the Company and Subscriber Regarding
Indemnification.

                         (a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless,
reimburse and defend Subscriber, and Subscriber's officers, and directors
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon
Subscriber or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i)
any misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement
delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure
periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.

                         (b) Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless,
reimburse and defend the Company and the Company's officers and directors
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Company or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Subscriber or breach by Subscriber of any warranty in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto or other agreement

                                       8
<PAGE>

                         (c) The procedures set forth in Section 10.6 shall
apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above.

                  9.1.   Conversion of Note.

                         (a) Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof,
the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action
(including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such
denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the
transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the Shares will be
unlegended, free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend
restricting the resale or transferability of the Company Shares provided the
Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering
the Shares to be sold or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold.

                         (b) Subscriber will give notice of its decision to
exercise its right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying an
executed and completed Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note) to the
Company. The Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the
Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall be deemed a Conversion Date. The Company will or cause the transfer agent
to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Note (and a Note representing the balance of the
Note not so converted, if requested by Subscriber) to the Subscriber via express
courier for receipt by such Subscriber within five (5) business days after
receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "Delivery Date"). To the
extent that a Subscriber elects not to surrender a Note for reissuance upon
partial payment or conversion, the Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company
against any and all loss or damage attributable to a third-party claim in an
amount in excess of the actual amount then due under the Note.

                         (c) The Company understands that a delay in the
delivery of the Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or the
Mandatory Redemption Amount described in Section 9.2 hereof, beyond the Delivery
Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result
in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such
loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Subscriber for late
issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon
Conversion of the Note or late payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in
the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date, as the case may be, for each $10,000 of Note principal
amount being converted or redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred
under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by
the Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the
Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of
Conversion or rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by
delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the
Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately
prior to the delivery of such notice, except that late payment charges described
above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is
given to the Company.

                         (d) Nothing contained herein or in any document
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to
establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of
interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the
maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded
to the Company.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  9.2.   Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company is
prohibited from issuing Shares or fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery
Date; or for any reason other than pursuant to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.3 hereof, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to
the Subscriber five (5) business days after request by the Subscriber or on the
Delivery Date (if requested by the Subscriber) a sum of money determined by
multiplying the principal amount of the Note designated by the Subscriber by
125%, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber
on the same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within five (5)
business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note
principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding, and any
obligation to deliver Shares with respect to conversion of the redeemed portion
of the Note shall be extinguished.

                  9.3.   Maximum Conversion. The Subscriber shall not be
entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Note in connection
with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber
and its affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates of more than
9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such
Conversion Date. For the purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3
thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to
aggregate conversions of only 9.99%. The Subscriber may void the conversion
limitation described in this Section 9.3 upon 75 days prior notice to the
Company. The Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed
beneficially owned by the Subscriber shall be included in the 9.99% amount
described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 9.99%.

                  9.4.   Injunction - Posting of Bond. The Company may not
refuse conversion of a Note based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one
associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation
of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice,
restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of said Note shall have
been sought and obtained and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of
such Subscriber in the amount of 130% of the amount of the Note, which is
subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment.

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

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  9.6. Optional Redemption. The Company will have the option of
redeeming any outstanding Notes ("Optional Redemption") by paying to the
Subscriber a sum of money equal to 120% of the principal amount of the Note
together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums
due, accrued or payable to the Subscriber arising under this Subscription
Agreement, Note or any other document delivered herewith ("Redemption Amount")
outstanding on the day notice of redemption ("Notice of Redemption) is given to
a Subscriber ("Redemption Date"). A Notice of Redemption may not be given in
connection with any portion of Note for which notice of conversion has been
given by the Subscriber at any time before receipt of a Notice of Redemption.
The Subscriber may elect within five (5) business days after receipt of a Notice
of Redemption to give the Company Notice of Conversion in connection with some
or all of the Note principal and interest which was the subject of the Notice of
Redemption provided the Conversion Price elected by the Subscriber is the
Maximum Base Price set forth in Section 2.1(b)(i) of the Note. A Notice of
Redemption must be accompanied by a certificate signed by the chief executive
officer or chief financial officer of the Company stating that the Company has
on deposit and segregated ready funds equal to the Redemption Amount. The
Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Subscriber no later than the
seventh (7th) business day after the Redemption Date ("Optional Redemption
Payment Date"). In the event the Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount by
the Optional Redemption Payment Date, then the Redemption Notice will be null
and void and the Company will thereafter have no further right to effect an
Optional Redemption, and at the Subscription's election, the Redemption Amount
will be deemed a Mandatory Redemption Payment and the Optional Redemption
Payment Date will be deemed a Mandatory Redemption Payment Date. Such failure
will also be deemed an Event of Default under the Note. Any Notice of Redemption
must be given to all holders of Notes issued in connection with the Offering, in
proportion to their holdings of Note principal on a Redemption Date. A Notice of
Redemption may be given by the Company, provided (i) no Event of Default, as
described in the Note shall have occurred or be continuing; (ii) the Company
Shares issuable upon conversion of the full outstanding Note principal are
included for unrestricted resale in a registration statement effective as of the
Redemption Date; and (iii) the Maximum Base Price (as defined in the Note) is
less than the Conversion Price calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) of the
Note for each of the ten (10) trading days preceding the Redemption Date. Note
proceeds may not be used to effect an Optional Redemption.

                  9.7.   Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Securities
without the consent of the holder of the Securities except as otherwise
described herein.

                  10.1.  Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the
following registration rights to holders of the Securities.

                         (i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 121 days
after the Closing Date, but not later than four years after the Closing Date
("Request Date"), the Company, upon a written request therefor from any record
holder or holders of more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Shares
issued and issuable upon Conversion of the Notes issued in the Offering (the
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Securities
and securities issued or issuable by virtue of ownership of the Securities
being, the "Registrable Securities"), shall prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement under the Act covering the Registrable Securities which
are the subject of such request, unless such Registrable Securities are the
subject of an effective registration statement. In addition, upon the receipt of
such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record
holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be
filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities
for which it has received written requests within 10 days after the Company
gives such written notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed
to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section 10.1(i). As
a condition precedent to the inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder
thereof shall provide the Company with such information as the Company
reasonably requests. The obligation of the Company under this Section 10.1(i)
shall be limited to one registration statement.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                         (ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register
any of its securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscriber or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each
such time it will give at least 30 days' prior written notice to the record
holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written
request of the holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving
of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable
Securities, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which
registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to
be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company,
all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the
Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable
Securities (the "Seller"). In the event that any registration pursuant to this
Section 10.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering
of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities
to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing
underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall
reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the
marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided,
however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such
reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section 10.4 hereof, the
Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement
referred to in this Section 10.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to
the Seller.

                         (iii) If, at the time any written request for
registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(i), the Company
has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer
and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company's own account, such
written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 10.1(ii)
rather than Section 10.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section
10.1(ii).

                         (iv) The Company shall file with the Commission within
30 days of the Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable
commercial efforts to cause to be declared effective a Form SB-2 registration
statement (or such other form that it is eligible to use) within 90 days of the
Closing Date in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and
distribution under the Act. The registration statement described in this
paragraph must be declared effective by the Commission within 120 days of the
Closing Date (as defined herein) ("Effective Date"). The Company will register
not less than a number of shares of Common Stock in the aforedescribed
registration statement that is equal to 200% of the Company Shares issuable at
the Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Closing Date or the date of
filing of such registration statement (employing the Conversion Price which
would result in the greater number of Shares), assuming the conversion of 100%
of the Notes and one share of common stock for each common share issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants employing the Conversion Price that would result in the
greater number of Shares. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set
aside exclusively for the benefit of the Subscriber and Warrant Recipients, as
the case may be, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than the
Subscriber and Warrant Recipients. Such registration statement will be promptly
amended or additional registration statements will be promptly filed by the
Company as necessary to register additional Company Shares to allow the public
resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable
Securities. No securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities
will be included in the registration statement described in this Section
10.1(iv) except as described on Schedule 10.1.

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

                                       12
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  10.3.  Provision of Documents.

                         (a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or a request for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(ii), the Registrable
Securities will be included in a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Section 10.

                         (b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the
Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and
representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by

                                       13
<PAGE>

it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal
and applicable state securities laws. In connection with each registration
pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) covering an underwritten public
offering, the Company and the Seller agree to enter into a written agreement
with the managing underwriter in such form and containing such provisions as are
customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such
underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment stature.

                  10.4.  Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber
agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required
under Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) above is not filed within 60 days after
written request by the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission
within 120 days after such request [or the Filing Date and Effective Date,
respectively, in reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such
other form described in Section 10.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and
within the time periods contemplated by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be
feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if
(i) the Registration Statement described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is not
filed within 60 days of such written request, or is not declared effective by
the Commission on or prior to the date that is 120 days after such request, or
(ii) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in
Section 10.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not declared
effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five days of
receipt by the Company of a communication from the Commission that the
registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) will not be reviewed, or
(iii) any registration statement described in Sections 10.1(i), 10.1(ii) or
10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be
effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration
statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed
30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days
(defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration
Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the
Company shall pay in cash as Liquidated Damages to each holder of any
Registrable Securities an amount equal to two (2%) percent per thirty days for
the first sixty (60) days or part thereof and three (3%) percent for each thirty
days or part thereof, thereafter, during the pendency of such Non-Registration
Event, of the principal of the Notes issued in connection with the Offering,
whether or not converted owned of record by such holder or issuable as of or
subsequent to the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made
pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be due and payable immediately upon demand
in immediately available funds. In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is
demanded from the Company by the Holder pursuant to Section 9.2 of this
Subscription Agreement, then the Liquidated Damages described in this Section
10.4 shall no longer accrue on the portion of the Purchase Price underlying the
Mandatory Redemption Payment, from and after the date the Holder receives the
Mandatory Redemption Payment. It shall also be deemed a Non-Registration Event
to the extent that an amount equal to 120% of all the Common Stock underlying
the Registrable Securities is not included in an effective registration
statement as of and after 45 days after the Effective Date at the Conversion
Prices in effect from and after the Effective Date.

                  10.5.  Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with Section 10, including, without limitation, all registration and
filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, and costs
of insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including
any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Seller, are called
"Selling Expenses". The Seller shall pay the fees of its own additional counsel,
if any. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 10. All Selling Expenses in connection with
each registration statement under Section 10 shall be borne by the Seller and
may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold

                                       14
<PAGE>

by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.

                  10.6.  Indemnification and Contribution.

                         (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning
of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities
was registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any
preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the
final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the
delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person
asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus
would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such
omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by any such Seller, or any such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

                         (b) In the event of a registration of any of the
Registrable Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Seller will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs
the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the gross proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement.

                                       15
<PAGE>

                         (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this
Section 10.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such indemnified party under this Section 10.6(c), except and only if and to
the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any
such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall
be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10.6(c)
for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation
and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests
of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests
of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties shall have the right to
select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees
of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

                         (d) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in the event of joint liability under the Act in any case in which
either (i) the Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.6 but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 10.6 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the Act may be required on the part of the
Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section 10.6; then, and in each such
case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution
from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  11.    (a) Right of First Refusal. Until eighteen months after
the actual effective date of the Registration Statement described in Section
10.1(iv) hereof (the "Exclusion Period"), the Subscriber shall be given not less
than seven (7) business days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the
Company of its common stock or other securities or debt obligations except as
previously disclosed in the Reports or Other Written Information (these
exceptions hereinafter referred to as the "Excepted Issuances"). The Subscriber
shall have the right during the seven (7) business days following the notice to
agree to purchase an amount of such offered common stock, debt or other
securities in the same proportion as being purchased in the Offering of those
securities proposed to be issued and sold, in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in the notice of sale. In the event such terms and

                                       16
<PAGE>

conditions are modified during the notice period, the Subscriber shall be given
prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the original
notice period or for a period of seven (7) business days following the notice of
modification, whichever is longer, to exercise such right. In the event the
right of first refusal described in this Section is exercised by the Subscriber
and the Company thereby receives net proceeds from such exercise, then
commissions and fees will be paid by the Company to the Finders in the same
amounts as would be payable in connection with the offering described in the
notice of sale. Payment for the securities may be made by the Subscriber by
tender to the Company of all or part of the Note and application towards the
purchase price of the securities of any sums due or owing from the Company to
the Subscriber.

                         (b) Offering Restrictions. Except with respect to the
Excepted Issuances, the Company will not issue any equity, convertible debt or
other securities prior to one year after the actual effective date of the
registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof.

                  12.    Security Interest. The Subscribers will be granted a
security interest in certain collateral of the Company to be memorialized in a
Security Agreement. The Company will execute Forms UCC-1 to be filed with such
states and counties designated by the Subscribers. The Company will also execute
all such documents reasonably necessary in the opinion of Subscriber to
memorialize and further protect the security interest described above.

                  13.    Miscellaneous.

                         (c) Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by both
parties. No right or obligation of either party shall be assigned by that party
without prior notice to and the written consent of the other party.

                         (d) Execution. This Agreement may be executed by
facsimile transmission, and in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an
original.

                         (e) Law Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by

shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such

affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.

                         (f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The
