                                                    EXECUTION COPY
                  COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as
of February 25, 2004, by and between COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and FUSION CAPITAL
FUND II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Buyer").
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are
defined in Section 10 hereof.

                             WHEREAS:

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer
wishes to buy from the Company, up to Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Common Stock").  The shares of Common Stock to be
purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the "Purchase
Shares."  In addition, as set forth in Section 1 (h) hereof, the
Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time after the date
hereof and until 20 days after such date as the Available Amount
is equal to $0, deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Buyer
stating that the Company elects to enter into a second Common
Stock Purchase Agreement with the Buyer for the purchase of an
additional Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Common Stock.

     NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as
follows:

     1.   PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Company hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock as
follows:

     (a)  Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock.  The purchase
and sale of Common Stock hereunder shall commence (the
"Commencement") within five (5) Trading Days following the date of
satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to the Commencement set
forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (or such later date as is mutually
agreed to by the Company and Buyer) (the date of such
Commencement, the "Commencement Date").

     (b)  Buyer's Purchase Rights and Obligations.  Subject to the
Company's right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(ii)
hereof, the Buyer shall purchase shares of Common Stock on each
Trading Day during each Monthly Period equal to the Daily Purchase
Amount (as defined in Section 1(c)(i)) at the Purchase Price.
Within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of Purchase Shares, the
Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase
Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for
the purchase of the Purchase Shares so received.  The Company
shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any
purchase.  All shares of Common Stock (including fractions
thereof) issuable upon a purchase under this Agreement shall be
aggregated for purposes of determining whether the purchase would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock.
If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would
result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock,
the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock
up or down to the nearest whole share.  All payments made under
this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States
of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account as the Company may from time to time designate by written
notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this
Agreement is due on any day that is not a Trading Day, the same
shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Trading
Day.

     (c)  The Daily Purchase Amount; Company's Right to Decrease
or Increase the Daily Purchase Amount.

          (i)       The Daily Purchase Amount.  As used herein the
     term "Original Daily Purchase Amount" shall mean Twelve
     Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per Trading Day. As
     used herein, the term "Daily Purchase Amount" shall mean
     initially Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) per
     Trading Day, which amount may be increased or decreased from
     time to time pursuant to this Section 1(c).

          (ii)      Company's Right to Decrease the Daily Purchase
     Amount.  The Company shall always have the right at any time
     to decrease the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount by
     delivering written notice (a "Daily Purchase Amount Decrease
     Notice") to the Buyer which notice shall specify the new
     Daily Purchase Amount.  The decrease in the Daily Purchase
     Amount shall become effective one Trading Day after receipt
     by the Buyer of the Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice.
     Any purchases by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or
     prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the
     Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice must be
     honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.  The
     decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall remain in effect
     until the Company delivers to the Buyer a Daily Purchase
     Amount Increase Notice (as defined below).

          (iii)     Company's Right to Increase the Daily Purchase
     Amount.  The Company shall have the right (but not the
     obligation) to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase
     Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
     in this Section 1(c)(iii) by delivering written notice to the
     Buyer stating the new amount of the Daily Purchase Amount (a
     "Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice").  A Daily Purchase
     Amount Increase Notice shall be effective five (5) Trading
     Days after receipt by the Buyer.  The Company shall always
     have the right at any time to increase the amount of the
     Daily Purchase Amount up to the Original Daily Purchase
     Amount.  With respect to increases in the Daily Purchase
     Amount above the Original Daily Purchase Amount, as the
     market price for the Common Stock increases the Company shall
     have the right from time to time to increase the Daily
     Purchase Amount as follows.  For every $0.25 increase in
     Threshold Price above $4.50 (subject to equitable adjustment
     for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend,
     stock split or other similar transaction), the Company shall
     have the right to increase the Daily Purchase Amount by up to
     an additional $2,500 in excess of the Original Daily Purchase
     Amount.  "Threshold Price" for purposes hereof means the
     lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock during the five (5)
     consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the submission
     to the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice
     (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization,
     recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other
     similar transaction).  For example, if the Threshold Price is
     $5.00, the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily
     Purchase Amount to up to $17,500 in the aggregate.  If the
     Threshold Price is $5.50, the Company shall have the right to
     increase the Daily Purchase Amount to up to $22,500 in the
     aggregate.  Any increase in the amount of the Daily Purchase
     Amount shall continue in effect until the delivery to the
     Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice.  However,
     if at any time during any Trading Day the Sale Price of the
     Common Stock is below the applicable Threshold Price, such
     increase in the Daily Purchase Amount shall be void and the
     Buyer's obligations to buy Purchase Shares hereunder in
     excess of the applicable maximum Daily Purchase Amount shall
     be terminated.  Thereafter, the Company shall again have the
     right to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount as
     set forth herein by delivery of a new Daily Purchase Amount
     Increase Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is
     above the applicable Threshold Price on each of five (5)
     consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such new Daily
     Purchase Amount Increase Notice.

     (d)  Limitations on Purchases.

          (i)       Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  The
     Company shall not effect any sale under this Agreement and
     the Buyer shall not have the right to purchase shares of
     Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that after
     giving effect to such purchase the Buyer together with its
     affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the
     outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such
     purchase.  For purposes hereof, the number of shares of
     Common Stock beneficially owned by the Buyer and its
     affiliates or acquired by the Buyer and its affiliates, as
     the case may be, shall include the number of shares of Common
     Stock issuable in connection with a purchase under this
     Agreement with respect to which the determination is being
     made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock
     which would be issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining
     Available Amount which has not been submitted for purchase,
     and (2) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
     unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
     (including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a
     limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
     limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Buyer
     and its affiliates.  If the 9.9% limitation is ever reached
     this shall not affect or limit the Buyer's obligation to
     purchase the Daily Purchase Amount as otherwise provided in
     this Agreement.  Specifically, even though the Buyer may not
     receive additional shares of Common Stock in the event that
     the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, the Buyer is still
     obligated to pay to the Company the Daily Purchase Amount on
     each Trading Day as otherwise obligated under this Agreement,
     e.g. no Event of Default (as defined in Section 9 hereof) has
     occurred, nor any event which, after notice and/or lapse of
     time, would become an Event of Default.  Under such
     circumstances, the Buyer would have the right to acquire
     additional shares of Common Stock in the future only at such
     time as its ownership subsequently becomes less than the 9.9%
     limitation.  For purposes of this Section, in determining the
     number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Buyer may
     rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as
     reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form
     10-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public
     announcement by the Company or (3) any other written
     communication by the Company or its Transfer Agent setting
     forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon
     the reasonable written or oral request of the Buyer, the
     Company shall promptly confirm orally and in writing to the
     Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
     In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
     shall be determined after giving effect to any purchases
     under this Agreement by the Buyer since the date as of which
     such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
     reported.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, for purposes
     of this Section 1(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be
     determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

          (ii)      Company's Right to Suspend Purchases.  The
     Company may, at any time, give written notice (a "Purchase
     Suspension Notice") to the Buyer suspending purchases of
     Purchase Shares by the Buyer under this Agreement.  The
     Purchase Suspension Notice shall be effective only for
     purchases that have a Purchase Date later than one (1)
     Trading Day after receipt of the Purchase Suspension Notice
     by the Buyer. Any purchase by the Buyer that has a Purchase
     Date on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt
     by the Buyer of a Purchase Suspension Notice from the Company
     must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.
     Such purchase suspension shall continue in effect until a
     revocation in writing by the Company, at its sole discretion.
     So long as a Purchase Suspension Notice is in effect, the
     Buyer shall not be obligated to purchase any Purchase Shares
     from the Company under Section 1 of this Agreement.

          (iii)     Purchase Price Floor.  The Company shall not
     effect any sales under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not
     have the right or the obligation to purchase any Purchase
     Shares under this Agreement on any Trading Day on which the
     Purchase Price for any purchases of Purchase Shares would be
     less than the Floor Price.

     (e)  Records of Purchases.  The Buyer and the Company shall
each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at
any given time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each
purchase or shall use such other recordkeeping method, reasonably
satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

     (f)  Taxes.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer,
stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the
issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Buyer
made under this Agreement.

     (g)  Compliance with Principal Market Rules.  The Company
shall not effect any sale under this Agreement and the Buyer shall
not have the right to purchase shares of Common Stock under this
Agreement to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase
the "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to be reached.  The "Exchange
Cap" shall be deemed to have been reached if, at any time prior to
the shareholders of the Company approving the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, upon a purchase under this
Agreement, the Purchase Shares issuable pursuant to such purchase
would, together with all Purchase Shares previously issued under
this Agreement, exceed 1,248,115 shares of Common Stock (19.99% of
the 6,243,697 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of
this Agreement).  The Company may, but shall be under no
obligation to, request its shareholders to approve the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company shall not be required
or permitted to issue any shares of Common Stock under this
Agreement if such issuance would breach the Company's obligations
under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

     (h)  Option for Second Tranche; Second Common Stock Purchase
Agreement.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time
after the date hereof and until 20 days following the first date
on which the Available Amount is equal to $0 (the "Second Tranche
Expiration Date"), deliver an irrevocable written notice (the
"Second Tranche Notice") to the Buyer stating that the Company
elects to enter into an additional Common Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement") with the Buyer for
the purchase of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of additional
Common Stock.  It is agreed and acknowledged by the parties hereto
that entering into the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement
shall be at the option of the Company in its sole discretion until
such time as the Company shall have delivered the Second Tranche
Notice to the Buyer.  The Buyer shall not be obligated to enter
into the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement unless the Company
has delivered the Second Tranche Notice prior to the Second
Tranche Expiration Date.  The Second Common Stock Purchase
Agreement may not be entered into until the aggregate Available
Amount under this Agreement is fully used to buy Purchase Shares
hereunder.  Upon delivery of the Second Tranche Notice to the
Buyer prior to the Second Tranche Expiration Date, the Buyer and
the Company shall be obligated to enter into the Second Common
Stock Purchase Agreement no later than the date that is 10 Trading
Days after the Second Tranche Expiration Date.  If the Buyer and
the Company have not entered into the Second Common Stock Purchase
Agreement by the date that is 10 Trading Days after the Second
Tranche Expiration Date, the Buyer shall not be obligated to enter
into such additional Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  The terms
and conditions of the Second Common Stock Purchase Agreement shall
be in form and substance identical in all respects to this
Agreement, provided, however, that for purposes of the Second
Common Stock Purchase Agreement, this Section 1(h) shall be
omitted.

such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its acquisition of the Securities.

United States federal or state agency or any other government or

Section 4(a) hereof): (i) the Securities have not been and are not
being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred
unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) an exemption
exists permitting such Securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred without such registration; (ii) any sale of the
Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in

may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the
1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under
the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;
and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any
obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any
state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions

term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock
or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short
position with respect to the Common Stock.

3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

the date hereof and as of the Commencement Date:

     (a)  Organization and Qualification.  The Company and its

incorporated, and have the requisite corporate power and authority
to own their properties and to carry on their business as now

qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good
standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property
or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As used in this

effect on any of: (i) the business, properties, assets,

terms hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of

Company in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally,
the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.  No other
approvals or consents of the Company's Board of Directors and/or
shareholders is necessary under applicable laws and the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and/or Bylaws to authorize the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to,
the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the issuance of the
Purchase Shares.

securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, if
any, and copies of any documents containing the material rights of
the holders thereof in respect thereto.

     (d)  Issuance of Securities.  The Commitment Shares have been
duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Commitment Shares shall be (i) validly issued, fully

with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled

time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of,
any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party, or result in a violation of any

and regulations of the Principal Market applicable to the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries) or by which any property or asset of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected,
except in the case of conflicts, defaults and violations under
clause (ii), which could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(e),
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of
any term of or is in default under any material contract,
agreement, mortgage, indebtedness, indenture, instrument,
judgment, decree or order or any statute, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries, except for
conflicts, defaults, terminations or amendments which could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being
conducted, and shall not be conducted, in violation of any law,
ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for
violations, the sanctions for which either individually or in the
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  Except as specifically contemplated by this
Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act or applicable state

1, 2003 and prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and
documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter

1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC (except as
they may have been properly amended), 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.  As of their respective dates (except
as they have been properly amended), the financial statements of
the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and

adverse change in the business, properties, operations, financial
condition or results of operations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries.  The Company has not taken any steps, and does not
currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to
any Bankruptcy Law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend
to initiate involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.  The
Company is financially solvent and is generally able to pay its
debts as they become due.

     (h)  Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit,
proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or
body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the
Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities
as such, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.   A description of each action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body which, as
of the date of this Agreement, is pending or threatened in writing
against or affecting the Company or any of the Company's
Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's
Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
is set forth in Schedule 3(h).

     (i)  Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Status.  The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the
capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
The Company further acknowledges that the Buyer is not acting as a
financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar
capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given
by the Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection
with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby is merely incidental to the Buyer's purchase of
the Securities.  The Company further represents to the Buyer that
the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has
been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and
its representatives and advisors.

     (j)  No General Solicitation.  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 1933
Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

     (k)  Intellectual Property Rights.  The Company and its
Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all
material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights,

do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or
its Subsidiaries of any material trademark, trade name rights,
patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, service
names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or
other similar rights of others, or of any such development of
similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by
others and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(k), as of the date
hereof there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or
brought against, or to the Company's knowledge, being threatened
against, the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding trademark,
trade name, patents, patent rights, invention, copyright, license,
service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade
secret or other infringement, which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (l)  Environmental Laws.  The Company and its Subsidiaries
(i) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign,
federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
protection of human health and safety, the environment or
hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("Environmental Laws"), (ii) have received all
permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under
applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective
businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval, except where,
in each of the three foregoing clauses, the failure to so comply
or receive such permits, licenses or other approvals could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect.

     (m)  Title.  The Company and its Subsidiaries own no real
property and have good and marketable title to all personal
property owned by them which is material to the business of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule
3(m) or such as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries.
Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not
material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

     (n)  Insurance.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the
Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in
which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged.  Neither the
Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance
coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any
such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able
to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not
materially and adversely affect the condition, financial or
otherwise, or the earnings, business or operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     (o)  Regulatory Permits.  The Company and its Subsidiaries
possess all material certificates, authorizations and permits
issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory

or permit.

     (p)  Tax Status.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
has filed (after taking into account any extensions to file) all
federal and state income and all other material tax returns,
reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it
is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and
each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported
taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments
and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be
due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being
contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply.  There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any
jurisdiction.

Schedule 3(q) and other than the grant or exercise of stock
options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers,
directors, or employees of the Company is as of the date of this
Agreement a party to any transaction with the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers
and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by,
providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or
otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or
such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has an interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

     (r)  Application of Takeover Protections.  The Company and
its board of directors have taken or will take prior to the
Commencement Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination,

or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation which
is or could become applicable to the Buyer as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the
Buyer's ownership of the Securities.

     (s)  Foreign Corrupt Practices.  Neither the Company, nor any
of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or
other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf
of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful
contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect
unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any
provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as

the Buyer, dated as of the date hereof ("Registration Rights
Agreement.").   Buyer shall furnish all information reasonably
requested by the Company for inclusion therein.

     (b)  Blue Sky. The Company shall take such action, if any, as
reasonably necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to
qualify (i) the initial sale of the Commitment Shares and any
Purchase Shares to the Buyer under this Agreement and (ii) any
subsequent resale of the Commitment Shares and any Purchase Shares
by the Buyer, in each case, under applicable securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of the states of the United States in such states as is
reasonably requested by the Buyer from time to time, and shall
provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer.

     (c)  No Variable Priced Financing.  Other than pursuant to
this Agreement, the Company agrees that beginning on the date of
this Agreement and ending on the date of termination of this
Agreement (as provided in Section 11(k) hereof), neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, without the prior
written consent of the Buyer, contract for any equity financing
(including any debt financing with an equity component) or issue
any equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary or
securities convertible or exchangeable into or for equity
securities of the Company or any Subsidiary (including debt
securities with an equity component) which, in any case (i) are
convertible into or exchangeable for an indeterminate number of
shares of common stock, (ii) are convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock at a price which varies with the market price of
the Common Stock, (iii) directly or indirectly provide for any "re-
set" or adjustment of the purchase price, conversion rate or
exercise price after the issuance of the security, or (iv) contain
any "make-whole" provision based upon, directly or indirectly, the
market price of the Common Stock after the issuance of the
security, in each case, other than reasonable and customary anti-
dilution adjustments for issuance of shares of Common Stock at a
price which is below the market price of the Common Stock.

     (d)  Listing.  The Company shall promptly secure the listing
of all of the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares upon each
national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if
any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any
other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of
all such securities from time to time issuable under the terms of
the Transaction Documents.  The Company shall maintain the Common
Stock's authorization for quotation on the Principal Market.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any
action that would be reasonably expected to result in the
delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal
Market.  The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than
the following Trading Day after receipt thereof, provide to the
Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Principal Market
regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for
listing on such automated quotation system or securities exchange.
The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with
satisfying its obligations under this Section.

     (e)  Limitation on Short Sales and Hedging Transactions.  The
Buyer agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as provided in
Section 11(k), the Buyer and its agents, representatives and
affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter into or
effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) "short sale" (as such term
is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of the Common Stock or
(ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position
with respect to the Common Stock.

     (f)  Issuance of Commitment Shares; Limitation on Sales of
Commitment Shares.  Immediately upon the execution of this
Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Buyer 53,138 shares of
Common Stock (the "Initial Commitment Shares").  In connection
with each purchase of Purchase Shares hereunder, the Company
agrees to issue to the Buyer a number of shares of Common Stock
(the "Additional Commitment Shares" and together with the Initial
Commitment Shares, the "Commitment Shares") equal to the product
of (x) 35,425 and (y) the Purchase Amount Fraction.  The "Purchase
Amount Fraction" shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Purchase Amount purchased by the Buyer with respect to such
purchase of Purchase Shares and the denominator of which is Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  The Additional Commitment Shares
shall be equitably adjusted for any reorganization,
recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar
transaction.  The Initial Commitment Shares shall be issued in
certificated form and (subject to Section 5 hereof) shall bear the
following  restrictive legend:

     THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
     REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
     APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN
     ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
     SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
     REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
     SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF BUYER'S COUNSEL, IN A
     CUSTOMARY FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID
     ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD
     PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

     The Buyer agrees that the Buyer shall not transfer or sell
the Commitment Shares until the earlier of 400 Trading Days (20
Monthly Periods) from the date hereof or the date on which this
Agreement has been terminated, provided, however, that such
restrictions shall not apply: (i) in connection with any transfers
to or among affiliates (as defined in the 1934 Act), (ii) in
connection with any pledge in connection with a bona fide loan or
margin account, or, (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred, or
any event which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would become
an Event of Default, including any failure by the Company to
timely issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may transfer Commitment
Shares to a third party in order to settle a sale made by the
Buyer where the Buyer reasonably expects the Company to deliver
Purchase Shares to the Buyer under this Agreement so long as the
Buyer maintains ownership of the same overall number of shares of
Common Stock by "replacing" the Commitment Shares so transferred
with Purchase Shares when the Purchase Shares are actually issued
by the Company to the Buyer.

     (g)  Due Diligence.  The Buyer shall have the right, from
time to time as the Buyer may reasonably deem appropriate, to
perform reasonable due diligence on the Company during normal
business hours.  The Company and its officers and employees shall
provide information and reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in
connection with any reasonable request by the Buyer related to the
Buyer's due diligence of the Company, including, but not limited
to, any such request made by the Buyer in connection with (i) the
filing of the registration statement described in Section 4(a)
hereof and (ii) the Commencement.  Each party hereto agrees not to
disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any
third party and shall not use the Confidential Information for any
purpose other than in connection with, or in furtherance of, the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Each party hereto acknowledges
that the Confidential Information shall remain the property of the
disclosing party and agrees that it shall take all reasonable
measures to protect the secrecy of any Confidential Information
disclosed by the other party.

     5.   TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

     Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company
shall deliver to the Transfer Agent a letter in the form as set
forth as Exhibit E attached hereto with respect to the issuance of
the Initial Commitment Shares.  On the Commencement Date, the
Company shall cause any restrictive legend on the Initial
Commitment Shares to be removed and all of the Purchase Shares and
Additional Commitment Shares, to be issued under this Agreement
shall be issued without any restrictive legend.  The Company shall
issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any
subsequent transfer agent, to issue Purchase Shares in the name of
the Buyer for the Purchase Shares in accordance therewith (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions").  The Company warrants
to the Buyer that no instruction other than the Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be
given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the
Purchase Shares and that the Commitment Shares and the Purchase
Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement subject to the
provisions of Section 4(f) in the case of the Commitment Shares.

retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any
and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs,
penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee
is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any
Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the

governmental action or proceeding) for which indemnification may
be sought hereunder, such Indemnitee shall deliver to the company
a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the
Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee,
as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall
have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees
and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable
opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnitee, the representation
by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Company would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding.  The Indemnitee shall cooperate in all
reasonable respects with the Company in connection with any
negotiation or defense of such action or claim by the Company and
shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available
to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim.  The
Company shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as
to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto.  The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its
written consent, provided, however, that the Company shall not
unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Company shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all
third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for
which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver
written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of
any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8, except to
the extent that the Company is prejudiced in its ability to defend
such action.

the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights

Company may issue under this Agreement without breaching the
Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the
Principal Market);

     (g)  any payment default under any contract whatsoever or any

which is guaranteed by the Company, whether such indebtedness or
guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter, which, with
respect to any such payment default or acceleration prior to
maturity, involves an amount in excess of $1,000,000;

     (h)  if any Person commences a proceeding against the Company
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law;

and is continuing, or if any event which, after notice and/or
lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, has occurred and
is continuing, or so long as the Purchase Price is below the

a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding against the
Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general

hereof) this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any
liability or payment to the Company without further action or
notice by any Person.  No such termination of this Agreement under
Section 11(k)(i) shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's
obligations under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases
and the Company and the Buyer shall complete their respective
obligations with respect to any pending purchases under this
Agreement.

other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any
other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois.  Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other

with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and

proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue
of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice

this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

     (e)  Entire Agreement; Amendments.  With the exception of the
Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement between the parties dated as of

the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein
and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither

     (k)  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated only as
follows:

          (i)       By the Buyer any time an Event of Default
     exists without any liability or payment to the Company.
     However, if pursuant to or within the meaning of any
     Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any
     Person commences a proceeding against the Company, a
     Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
     substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a
     general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (any of
     which would be an Event of Default as described in Sections
     9(h), 9(i) and 9(j) hereof) this Agreement shall
     automatically terminate without any liability or payment to
     the Company without further action or notice by any Person.
     No such termination of this Agreement under this Section
     11(k)(i) shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's
     obligations under this Agreement with respect to pending
     purchases and the Company and the Buyer shall complete their
     respective obligations with respect to any pending purchases
     under this Agreement.

          (ii)      In the event that the Commencement shall not
     have occurred, the Company shall have the option to terminate
     this Agreement for any reason or for no reason without
     liability of any party to any other party.

          (iii)     In the event that the Commencement shall not
     have occurred on or before June 30, 2004, due to either
     party's failure to satisfy the conditions applicable to it
     set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above with respect to the
     Commencement (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive
     such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall
     have the option to terminate this Agreement at the close of
     business on such date or thereafter without liability of any
     party to any other party.

          (iv)      If by the Maturity Date (including any
     extension thereof by the Company pursuant to Section 10(g)
     hereof), for any reason or for no reason the full Available
     Amount under this Agreement has not been purchased as
     provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement, by the Buyer
     without any liability or payment to the Company.

          (v)       At any time after the Commencement Date, the
     Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for
     any reason or for no reason by delivering notice (a "Company
     Termination Notice") to the Buyer electing to terminate this
     Agreement without any liability or payment to the Buyer.  The
     Company Termination Notice shall not be effective until one
     (1) Trading Day after it has been received by the Buyer.

          (vi)      This Agreement shall automatically terminate
     on the date that the Company sells and the Buyer purchases
     the full Available Amount as provided herein, without any
     action or notice on the part of any party.

Except as set forth in Sections 11(k)(i) (in respect of an Event
of Default under Sections 9(h), 9(i) and 9(j)) and 11(k)(vi), any
termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(k) shall
be effected by written notice from the Company to the Buyer, or
the Buyer to the Company, as the case may be, setting forth the
basis for the termination hereof.  The representations and
warranties of the Company and the Buyer contained in Sections 2
and 3 hereof, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section
8 hereof and the agreements and covenants set forth in Section
1(h) and Section 11, shall survive the Commencement and any
termination of this Agreement.  No termination of this Agreement
shall affect the Company's or the Buyer's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to pending purchases and the Company and
the Buyer shall complete their respective obligations with respect
to any pending purchases under this Agreement.

     (l)  No Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder.
The Company acknowledges that it has retained Brooks, Houghton &
Co., Inc., as financial advisor in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company represents and
warrants to the Buyer that it has not engaged any other financial
advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.  The Buyer represents and
warrants to the Company that it has not engaged any financial
advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company shall be
responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of
any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder retained
by it relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated
hereby.  The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless
against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in
connection with any such claim.

     (m)  No Strict Construction.  The language used in this
Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties
to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.

     (n)  Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief.  The Buyer's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the
Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of
compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and
nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Agreement.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of
its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Buyer
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach
or threatened breach, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to
all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining
any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

     (o)  Changes to the Terms of this Agreement.  This Agreement
and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and the Buyer.  The term "Agreement"
and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument,
shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later
amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

     (p)  Enforcement Costs.  If: (i) this Agreement is placed by
the Buyer in the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is
enforced by the Buyer through any legal proceeding; or (ii) an
attorney is retained to represent the Buyer in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Agreement, then
the Company shall pay to the Buyer, as incurred by the Buyer, all
reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys' fees incurred
in connection therewith, in addition to all other amounts due
hereunder.

     (q)  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or
further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege.

                            * * * * * *

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyer and the Company have caused this

modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement").

                             WHEREAS:

     A.   The Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, to issue to the Buyer

(the "Commitment Shares"); and

     B.   To induce the Buyer to enter into the Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration
rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute

laws.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable

assignee thereof to whom the Buyer assigns its rights under this
Agreement and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and any transferee or
assignee thereof to whom a transferee or assignee assigns its

respect to the Purchase Shares, the Commitment Shares or the

          e.   "Registration Statement" means the registration
statement of the Company covering the sale of the Registrable
Securities.

     2.   REGISTRATION.

          a.   Mandatory Registration.  The Company shall within
fifteen (15) Trading Days from the date hereof file with the SEC
the Registration Statement.  The Investor and its counsel shall
have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such
registration statement or amendment to such registration statement
and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC.
Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the
Company for inclusion therein.  The Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement or
amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible
date.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated
under the 1933 Act and available for sales of all of the
Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of (i) the
date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable
Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated
under the 1933 Act (or successor thereto) or (ii) the date on
which (A) the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable
Securities and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase
Agreement (the "Registration Period").  The Registration Statement
(including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses
contained therein) shall 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, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

          b.   Rule 424 Prospectus.  The Company shall, as
required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time
file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933
Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used
in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement.  The Investor and its counsel shall have a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus
prior to its filing with the SEC. The Investor shall use its
reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one
(1) Trading Day from the date the Investor receives the final
version of such prospectus.

          c.   Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the
event the number of shares available under the Registration
Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or
file a new registration statement (a "New Registration
Statement"), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as
soon as practicable.  The Company shall use it reasonable best
efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement
to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing
thereof.

     3.   RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

          With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever
any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to
Section 2(b) including on any New Registration Statement, the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the
registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the
Company shall have the following obligations:

          a.   The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used
in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus
is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933
Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any
New Registration Statement effective at all times during the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration
Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all
of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller
or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

          b.   The Company shall permit the Investor to review and
comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two
(2) Trading Days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file
any document in a form to which Investor reasonably objects.  The
Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the
Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any
amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Trading Days from
the date the Investor receives the final version thereof.  The
Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any
correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company
or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or
any New Registration Statement.

          c.   Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall
furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared
and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration
statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any
registration statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included
in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements
thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may
reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor.

          d.   The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to
(i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a
registration statement under such other securities or "blue sky"
laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor
reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions,
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the
Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be
necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take
all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent
to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall
promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose.

          e.   As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of
such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in
writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts
as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
registration statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or
amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the
Investor may reasonably request).  The Company shall also promptly
notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed,
and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be
delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of such
effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the
SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the
Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment
to a registration statement would be appropriate.

          f.   The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of
the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest
possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice
of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

          g.   The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are
then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities
is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the
Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

          h.   The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement
and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or
amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in
such names as the Investor may request.

          i.   The Company shall at all times provide a transfer
agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

          j.   If reasonably requested by the Investor, the
Company shall (i) immediately incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the
Investor reasonably believes should be included therein relating
to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable
Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-
effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to
any registration statement.

          k.   The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the any
registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

          l.   Within one (1) Trading Day after any registration
statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered
effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause
legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent
for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor)
confirmation that such registration statement has been declared
effective by the SEC substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A.

          m.   The Company shall take all other reasonable actions
necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor
of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration statement.

     4.   OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

          a.   The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of
the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor
in connection with any registration statement hereunder.  The
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as
shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such
Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in
connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably
request.

          b.   The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company
as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of any registration statement hereunder.

          c.   The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence
of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration
statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the
Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of
3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall
cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common
Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of
Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has
entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt
of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and
for which the Investor has not yet settled.

     5.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

          All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without
limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees,
printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

     6.   INDEMNIFICATION.

          a.   To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company
will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the
members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents,
representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who
controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")
(each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or
several, (collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry,
proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or
before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened,
whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto
("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become subject
insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or
in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any
jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue
Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact
necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including,
without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or
any New Registration Statement  or (iv) any material violation by
the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations").  The
Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees
or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a
Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such
Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the
preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration
Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any
superceded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such
person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the
Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the
benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue
statement or omission of material fact contained in the superceded
prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely
made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section
3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing
not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise
to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such
advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such
Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause
to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if
such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant
to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor
pursuant to Section 9.

          b.   In connection with the Registration Statement or
any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally
and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the
Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each
Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an
Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or
Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under
the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or
Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation,
in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information about the Investor furnished to the Company by the
Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration
statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution
contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the
prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that
amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the
net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party
and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by
the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

          c.   Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice
of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the
Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with
the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation 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 or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall
keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at
all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or
condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the
consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect
to such claim or litigation.  Following indemnification as
provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated
to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with
respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to
the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in
its ability to defend such action.

          d.   The indemnification required by this Section 6
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

          e.   The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be
in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying
party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party
may be subject to pursuant to the law.

     7.   CONTRIBUTION.

          To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party
agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any
amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to
the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i)
no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of
Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of
Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net
amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such
Registrable Securities.

     8.   REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

          With a view to making available to the Investor the
benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other
similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit
the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees, at the
Company's sole expense, to:

          a.   make and keep public information available, as
those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

          b.   file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such
requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is
required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

          c.   furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor
owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting
and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the
1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so
filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such
securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

          d.   take such additional action as is reasonably
requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without
limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents,
certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company's
Transfer Agent as may be requested from time to time by the
Investor and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Investor and
Investor's broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to
Rule 144.

          The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section
8 and that Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any
remedies at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form
of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post
any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach
of any such terms or provisions.

     9.   ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Investor, including by merger or consolidation.  The
Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without
the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of
the Investor controlled by Steven G. Martin or Joshua B.
Scheinfeld.

     10.  AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

          Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the
observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively),
only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor.

     11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          a.   A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record
such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act
upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

          b.   Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms
of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have
been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii)
upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of
transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept
on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Trading Day after
deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,
in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.
The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall
be:

Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability
of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
