                  2.3 PUTS OF COMMON SHARES TO THE INVESTOR.

                           2.3.1 PROCEDURE TO EXERCISE A PUT. Subject to the
Individual Put Limit, the Maximum Offering Amount and the Cap Amount (if
applicable), and the other conditions and limitations set forth in this
Agreement, at any time beginning on the date on which the Registration Statement
is declared effective by the SEC (the "Effective Date"), the Company may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, elect to exercise one or more Puts according to
the following procedure, provided that each subsequent Put Date after the first
Put Date shall be no sooner than five (5) Business Days following the preceding
Pricing Period End Date:

                                (a) DELIVERY OF ADVANCE PUT NOTICE.At least ten
(10) Business Days but not more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to any
intended Put Date (unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Investor), the
Company shall deliver advance written notice (the "Advance Put Notice," the form
of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT E, the date of such Advance Put Notice
being the "Advance Put Notice Date") to Investor stating the Put Date for which
the Company shall, subject to the limitations and restrictions contained herein,
exercise a Put and stating the number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the
Individual Put Limit and the Maximum Put Dollar Amount) which the Company
intends to sell to the Investor for the Put (the "Intended Put Share Amount").

         The Company may, at its option, also designate in any Advance Put
Notice (i) a maximum dollar amount of Common Stock, not to exceed $3,000,000,
which it shall sell to Investor during the Put (the "Company Designated Maximum
Put Dollar Amount") and/or (ii) a minimum purchase price per Put Share at which
the Investor may purchase Shares pursuant to such Put Notice (a "Company
Designated Minimum Put Share Price"). The Company Designated Minimum Put Share
Price, if applicable, shall be no greater than 80% of the Closing Bid Price of
the Company's common stock on the Advance Put Notice Date. The Company may
decrease (but not increase) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price for a
Put at any time by giving the Investor written notice of such decrease not later
than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Business Day that such decrease is to take effect. A decrease in the Company
Designated Minimum Put Share Price shall have no retroactive effect on the
determination of Trigger Prices and Excluded Days for days preceding the
Business Day that such decrease takes effect.

         Notwithstanding the above, if, at the time of delivery of an Advance
Put Notice, more than two (2) Calendar Months have passed since the date of the
previous Put Closing, such Advance Put Notice shall provide at least twenty (20)
Business Days notice of the intended Put Date, unless waived in writing by the
Investor. In order to effect delivery of the Advance Put Notice, the Company
shall (i) send the Advance Put Notice by facsimile on such date so that such
notice is received by the Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii)
surrender such notice on such date to a courier for overnight delivery to the
Investor (or two (2) day delivery in the case of an Investor residing outside of
the U.S.). Upon receipt by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Advance Put
Notice, the Investor shall, within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a
confirmation of receipt (the "Advance Put Notice Confirmation," the form of
which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT F) of the Advance Put Notice to the Company
specifying that the Advance Put Notice has been received and affirming the
intended Put Date and the Intended Put Share Amount.

                                       11
<PAGE>

                                (b) PUT SHARE AMOUNT. The "Put Share Amount" is
the number of shares of Common Stock that the Investor shall be obligated to
purchase in a given Put, and shall equal the lesser of (i) the Intended Put
Share Amount, and (ii) the Individual Put Limit. The "Individual Put Limit"
shall equal the lesser of (i) 15% of the sum of the aggregate daily reported
Trading Volumes in the outstanding Common Stock on the Company's Principal
Market, excluding any block trades of 20,000 or more shares of Common Stock, for
all Evaluation Days (as defined below) in the Pricing Period, (ii) the number of
Put Shares which, when multiplied by their respective Put Share Prices, equals
the Maximum Put Dollar Amount, and (iii) the 9.9% Limitation, and (iii)
1,500,000 shares of Common Stock but in no event shall the Individual Put Limit
exceed 15% of the sum of the aggregate daily reported Trading Volumes in the
outstanding Common Stock on the Company's Principal Market, excluding any block
trades of 20,000 or more shares of Common Stock, for the twenty (20) Business
Days immediately preceding the Put Date (this limitation, together with the
limitation in (i) immediately above, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Volume Limitations"). Company agrees not to trade Common Stock or arrange for
Common Stock to be traded for the purpose of artificially increasing the Volume
Limitations.

         For purposes of this Agreement:

                  "Trigger Price" for any Pricing Period shall mean the greater
of (i) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price, plus $.25, or (ii) the
Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price divided by .91.

                  An "Excluded Day" shall mean each Business Day during a
Pricing Period where the lowest intra-day trading price of the Common Stock is
less than the Trigger Price.

                  An "Evaluation Day" shall mean each Business Day during a
Pricing Period that is not an Excluded Day.

                                (c) PUT SHARE PRICE. The purchase price for the
Put Shares (the "Put Share Price") shall equal the lesser of (i) the Market
Price for such Put, minus $.25, or (ii) 91% of the Market Price for such Put,
but shall in no event be less than the Company Designated Minimum Put Share
Price for such Put, if applicable. .

                                (d) DELIVERY OF PUT NOTICE. After delivery of an
Advance Put Notice, on the Put Date specified in the Advance Put Notice the
Company shall deliver written notice (the "Put Notice," the form of which is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT G) to Investor stating (i) the Put Date, (ii) the
Intended Put Share Amount as specified in the Advance Put Notice (such exercise
a "Put"), (iii) the Company Designated Maximum Put Dollar Amount (if
applicable), and (iv) the Company Designated Minimum Put Share Price (if
applicable). In order to effect delivery of the Put Notice, the Company shall
(i) send the Put Notice by facsimile on the Put Date so that such notice is
received by the Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and (ii) surrender
such notice on the Put Date to a courier for overnight delivery to the Investor

                                       12
<PAGE>

(or two (2) day delivery in the case of an Investor residing outside of the
U.S.). Upon receipt by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Put Notice, the
Investor shall, within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a
confirmation of receipt (the "Put Notice Confirmation," the form of which is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT H) of the Put Notice to Company specifying that the
Put Notice has been received and affirming the Put Date and the Intended Put
Share Amount.

                                (e) DELIVERY OF REQUIRED PUT DOCUMENTS. On or
before the Put Date for such Put, the Company shall deliver the Required Put
Documents (as defined in Section 2.3.5 below) to the Investor (or to an agent of
Investor, if Investor so directs). Unless otherwise specified by the Investor,
the Put Shares of Common Stock shall be transmitted electronically pursuant to
such electronic delivery system as the Investor shall request; otherwise
delivery shall be by physical certificates. If the Company has not delivered all
of the Required Put Documents to the Investor on or before the Put Date, the Put
shall be automatically cancelled, unless the Investor agrees to delay the Put
Date by up to three (3) Business Days, in which case the Pricing Period begins
on the Business Day following such new Put Date. If the Company has not
delivered all of the Required Put Documents to the Investor on or before the Put
Date (or new Put Date, if applicable), and the Investor has not agreed in
writing to delay the Put Date, the Put is automatically canceled (an
"Impermissible Put Cancellation") and, unless the Put was otherwise canceled in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.3.11, the Company shall pay the Investor
$5,000 for its reasonable due diligence expenses incurred in preparation for the
canceled Put and the Company may deliver an Advance Put Notice for the
subsequent Put no sooner than ten (10) Business Days after the date that such
Put was canceled, unless otherwise agreed by the Investor.

                                (f) LIMITATION ON INVESTOR'S OBLIGATION TO
PURCHASE SHARES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in
no event shall the Investor be required to purchase, and an Intended Put Share
Amount may not include, an amount of Put Shares, which when added to the number
of Put Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement during the 31
days preceding the Put Date with respect to which this determination of the
permitted Intended Put Share Amount is being made, would exceed 9.99% of the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis, to the
extent that inclusion of unissued shares is mandated by Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act) on the Put Date for such Pricing Period, as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the "Section 13(d)
Outstanding Share Amount"). Each Put Notice shall include a representation of
the Company as to the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount on the related Put
Date. In the event that the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount is different
on any date during a Pricing Period than on the Put Date associated with such
Pricing Period, then the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
date during such Pricing Period shall govern for purposes of determining whether
the Investor, when aggregating all purchases of Shares made pursuant to this
Agreement in the 31 calendar days preceding such date, would have acquired more
than 9.99% of the Section 13(d) Outstanding Share Amount. The limitation set
forth in this Section 2.3.1(f) is referred to as the "9.9% Limitation."

                           2.3.2 TERMINATION OF RIGHT TO PUT. The Company's
right to require the Investor to purchase any subsequent Put Shares shall
terminate permanently (each, an "Automatic Termination") upon the occurrence of
any of the following:

                                       13

Company that has resulted in (i) a Securities and Exchange Commission
enforcement action, or (ii) a civil judgment or criminal conviction for fraud or

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of
debtors instituted by or against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company;

                                (d) the Company shall not exercise a Put after
the sooner of (i) the date that is three (3) years after the Effective Date, or
(ii) the Put Closing Date on which the aggregate of the Put Dollar Amounts for
all Puts equal the Maximum Offering Amount; and

                                (e) the Company shall not exercise a Put after
the Company has breached any covenant in Section 2.6, Section 6, or Section 9
hereof.

                                (f) if no Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the date that is one (1) year after the date of this
Agreement, the Automatic Termination shall occur on the date that is one (1)
year after the date of this Agreement.

                           2.3.3 PUT LIMITATIONS. The Company's right to
exercise a Put shall be limited as follows:

                                (a) notwithstanding the amount of any Put, the
Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any additional Put Shares once the
aggregate Put Dollar Amount paid by Investor equals the Maximum Offering Amount;

                                (b) the Investor shall not be obligated to

                           2.3.6 ACCOUNTANT'S LETTER AND REGISTRATION OPINION.

                                (a) The Company shall have caused to be
delivered to the Investor, (i) whenever required by Section 2.3.6(b) or by
Section 2.5.3, and (ii) on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to
each Put Date (the "Registration Opinion Deadline"), an opinion of the Company's
independent counsel, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT R (the "Registration
Opinion"), addressed to the Investor stating, inter alia, that no facts
("Material Facts") have come to such counsel's attention that have caused it to
believe that the Registration Statement is subject to an Ineffective Period or
to believe that the Registration Statement, any Supplemental Registration
Statement (as each may be amended, if applicable), and any related prospectuses,
contain an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required
to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. If a Registration Opinion cannot be
delivered by the Company's independent counsel to the Investor on the
Registration Opinion Deadline due to the existence of Material Facts or an
Ineffective Period, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor and as

                                       16
<PAGE>

promptly as possible amend each of the Registration Statement and any
Supplemental Registration Statements, as applicable, and any related prospectus
or cause such Ineffective Period to terminate, as the case may be, and deliver
such Registration Opinion and updated prospectus as soon as possible thereafter.
If at any time after a Put Notice shall have been delivered to Investor but
before the related Pricing Period End Date, the Company acquires knowledge of
such Material Facts or any Ineffective Period occurs, the Company shall promptly
notify the Investor and shall deliver a Put Cancellation Notice to the Investor
pursuant to Section 2.3.11 by facsimile and overnight courier by the end of that
Business Day.

                                (b) (i) the Company shall engage its independent
auditors to perform the procedures in accordance with the provisions of
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71, as amended, as agreed to by the parties
hereto, and reports thereon (the "Bring Down Cold Comfort Letters") as shall
have been reasonably requested by the Investor with respect to certain financial
information contained in the Registration Statement and shall have delivered to
the Investor such a report addressed to the Investor, on the date that is three
(3) Business Days prior to each Put Date.

                                    (ii) in the event that the Investor shall
have requested delivery of an Agreed Upon Procedures Report pursuant to Section
2.5.3, the Company shall engage its independent auditors to perform certain
agreed upon procedures and report thereon as shall have been reasonably
requested by the Investor with respect to certain financial information of the
Company and the Company shall deliver to the Investor a copy of such report
addressed to the Investor. In the event that the report required by this Section
2.3.6(b) cannot be delivered by the Company's independent auditors, the Company
shall, if necessary, promptly revise the Registration Statement and the Company
shall not deliver a Put Notice until such report is delivered.

                           2.3.7 INVESTOR'S OBLIGATION AND RIGHT TO PURCHASE

                           2.3.8 MECHANICS OF PUT CLOSING. Each of the Company
and the Investor shall deliver all documents, instruments and writings required
to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to each
Closing. Subject to such delivery and the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, the closing of the purchase by the Investor
of Shares shall occur by 5:00 PM, New York City Time, on the date which is five
(5) Business Days following the applicable Pricing Period End Date (or such
other time or later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the
Investor) (the "Payment Due Date") at the offices of Investor. On each or before
each Payment Due Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company, in the manner
specified in Section 8 below, the Put Dollar Amount to be paid for such Put
Shares, determined as aforesaid. The closing (each a "Put Closing") for each Put
shall occur on the date that both (i) the Company has delivered to the Investor
all Required Put Documents, and (ii) the Investor has delivered to the Company
such Put Dollar Amount and any Late Payment Amount, if applicable (each a "Put
Closing Date").

         If the Investor does not deliver to the Company the Put Dollar Amount
for such Put Closing on or before the Payment Due Date, then the Investor shall
pay to the Company, in addition to the Put Dollar Amount, an amount (the "Late
Payment Amount") at a rate of X% per month, accruing daily, multiplied by such
Put Dollar Amount, where "X" equals one percent (1%) for the first month

                                       17

following the date in question, and increases by an additional one percent (1%)
for each month that passes after the date in question, up to a maximum of five
percent (5%) per month; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of
interest that shall become due and payable hereunder exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law.

                           2.3.9 LIMITATION ON SHORT SALES. The Investor and its
Affiliates shall not engage in short sales of the Company's Common Stock;
provided, however, that the Investor may enter into any short exempt sale or any
short sale or other hedging or similar arrangement it deems appropriate with
respect to Put Shares after it receives a Put Notice with respect to such Put
Shares so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number
of such Put Shares specified in the Put Notice.

                           2.3.10 CAP AMOUNT. If the Company becomes listed on
the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, then, unless the
Company has obtained Stockholder 20% Approval as set forth in Section 6.11 or
unless otherwise permitted by Nasdaq, in no event shall the Aggregate Issued
Shares exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (the "Cap Amount")
that the Company can, without stockholder approval, so issue pursuant to Nasdaq
Rule 4460(i)(1)(d)(ii) (or any other applicable Nasdaq Rules or any successor
rule) (the "Nasdaq 20% Rule").

                           2.3.11 PUT CANCELLATION.

                                (a) MECHANICS OF PUT CANCELLATION. If at any
time during a Pricing Period the Company discovers the existence of Material
Facts or any Ineffective Period or Delisting Event occurs, the Company shall
cancel the Put (a "Put Cancellation"), by delivering written notice to the
Investor (the "Put Cancellation Notice"), attached as EXHIBIT Q, by facsimile
and overnight courier. The "Put Cancellation Date" shall be the date that the
Put Cancellation Notice is first received by the Investor, if such notice is
received by the Investor by 6:00 p.m., New York, NY time, and shall be the
following date, if such notice is received by the Investor after 6:00 p.m., New
York, NY time.

                                (b) EFFECT OF PUT CANCELLATION. Anytime a Put
Cancellation Notice is delivered to Investor after the Put Date, the Put, shall
remain effective with respect to a number of Put Shares (the "Truncated Put
Share Amount") equal to the Individual Put Limit for the Truncated Pricing
Period.

                                (c) PUT CANCELLATION NOTICE CONFIRMATION. Upon
receipt by the Investor of a facsimile copy of the Put Cancellation Notice, the
Investor shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt (the "Put
Cancellation Notice Confirmation," a form of which is attached as EXHIBIT S) of
the Put Cancellation Notice to the Company specifying that the Put Cancellation
Notice has been received and affirming the Put Cancellation Date.

                                (d) TRUNCATED PRICING PERIOD. If a Put
Cancellation Notice has been delivered to the Investor after the Put Date, the
Pricing Period for such Put shall end at on the close of trading on the last
full trading day on the Principal Market that ends prior to the moment of
initial delivery of the Put Cancellation Notice (a "Truncated Pricing Period")
to the Investor.

                                       18
<PAGE>

                           2.3.12 INVESTMENT AGREEMENT CANCELLATION. The Company
may terminate (a "Company Termination") its right to initiate future Puts by
providing written notice ("Termination Notice") to the Investor, by facsimile
and overnight courier, at any time other than during an Extended Put Period,
provided that such termination shall have no effect on the parties' other rights
and obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Warrants. Notwithstanding the above, any cancellation occurring during an
Extended Put Period is governed by Section 2.3.11.

                           2.3.13 RETURN OF EXCESS COMMON SHARES. In the event
that the number of Shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to its obligations
hereunder is less than the Intended Put Share Amount, the Investor shall
promptly return to the Company any shares of Common Stock in the Investor's
possession that are not being purchased by the Investor.

                  2.4 WARRANTS.

                           2.4.1 COMMITMENT WARRANT. In partial consideration
hereof, contemporaneously herewith, the Company shall issue and deliver to
Investor or its designated assignees, a warrant (the "Commitment Warrant") in
the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT U, or such other form as agreed upon by the
parties, to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Commitment Warrant
shall be immediately exercisable in accordance with its terms, conditions and
limitations, and shall have a term beginning on the date of issuance and ending
on date that is five (5) years thereafter. The Warrant Shares shall be
registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The
Investment Commitment Opinion of Counsel shall cover the issuance of the
Commitment Warrant and the issuance of the common stock upon exercise of the
Commitment Warrant.

         Notwithstanding any Termination or Automatic Termination of this
Agreement, regardless of whether or not the Registration Statement is or is not
filed, and regardless of whether or not the Registration Statement is approved
or denied by the SEC, the Investor shall retain full ownership of the Commitment
Warrant as partial consideration for its commitment hereunder.

                           2.4.2 PURCHASE WARRANTS. Within five (5) Business
Days of the end of each Pricing Period, the Company shall issue and deliver to
the Investor a warrant ("Purchase Warrant"), in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT D, or such other form as agreed upon by the parties, to purchase a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the Put Share Amount for that
Put. Each Purchase Warrant shall be exerciseable at a price (the "Purchase
Warrant Exercise Price") which shall initially equal 110% of the Market Price
for the applicable Put, and shall have semi-annual reset provisions. Each
Purchase Warrant shall be immediately exercisable at the Purchase Warrant
Exercise Price, and shall have a term beginning on the date of issuance and
ending on the date that is five (5) years thereafter. The Warrant Shares shall
be registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  2.5 DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW. The Company shall make available for
inspection and review by the Investor (the "Due Diligence Review"), advisors to
and representatives of the Investor (who may or may not be affiliated with the
Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), any underwriter
participating in any disposition of Common Stock on behalf of the Investor
pursuant to the Registration Statement, any Supplemental Registration Statement,
or amendments or supplements thereto or any blue sky, NASD or other filing, all
financial and other records, all SEC Documents and other filings with the SEC,
and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be
reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all such information reasonably
requested by the Investor or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in
connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in
response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by
any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness
of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investor and
such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants
and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the
Company and the accuracy of the Registration Statement.

                           2.5.1 TREATMENT OF NONPUBLIC INFORMATION. The Company
shall not disclose nonpublic information to the Investor or to its advisors or
representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company
identifies such information as being nonpublic information and provides the
Investor and such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or
refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company may, as a
condition to disclosing any nonpublic information hereunder, require the
Investor and its advisors and representatives to enter into a confidentiality
agreement (including an agreement with such advisors and representatives
prohibiting them from trading in Common Stock during such period of time as they
are in possession of nonpublic information) in form reasonably satisfactory to
the Company and the Investor.

        Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose nonpublic
information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company
will not disseminate nonpublic information to any investors who purchase stock
in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
nonpublic information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by and such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration
Statement, would cause such Prospectus to include a material misstatement or to
omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to mean
that such persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written
consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain
nonpublic information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Investor's advisors or representatives disclose to the Investor the nature of
the specific event or circumstances constituting any nonpublic information
discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of their due
diligence without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of
such information.

                                       20
<PAGE>

                           2.5.2 DISCLOSURE OF MISSTATEMENTS AND OMISSIONS. The
Investor's advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the
Investor's counsel of all events or circumstances constituting nonpublic
information discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of
their due diligence upon which such advisors or representatives form the opinion
that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of such
disclosure, the Investor's counsel shall consult with the Company's independent
counsel in order to address the concern raised as to the existence of a material
misstatement or omission and to discuss appropriate disclosure with respect
thereto; provided, however, that such consultation shall not constitute the
advice of the Company's independent counsel to the Investor as to the accuracy
of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus.

                           2.5.3 PROCEDURE IF MATERIAL FACTS ARE REASONABLY
BELIEVED TO BE UNTRUE OR ARE OMITTED. In the event after such consultation the
Investor or the Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement or a material fact or omits a material
fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make
the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading,

                                (a) the Company shall file with the SEC an
amendment to the Registration Statement responsive to such alleged untrue
statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable, with
copies of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, as so amended, or

                                (b) if the Company disputes the existence of any
such material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent counsel
shall provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion and (ii) in the
event the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial disclosure and the
Investor shall reasonably request, the Company's independent auditors shall
provide to the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon Procedures Report") outlining the
performance of such "agreed upon procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by
the Investor and the Company shall provide the Investor with a copy of such
letter.

                  2.6 COMMITMENT PAYMENTS.

         On the last Business Day of each six (6) Calendar Month period
following the Effective Date (each such period a "Commitment Evaluation
Period"), if the Company has not Put at least $1,000,000 in aggregate Put Dollar
Amount during that Commitment Evaluation Period, the Company, in consideration
of Investor's commitment costs, including, but not limited to, due diligence
expenses, shall pay to the Investor an amount (the "Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee ")
equal to the difference of (i) $100,000, minus (ii) 10% of the aggregate Put
Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put to Investor during that Commitment
Evaluation Period. In the event that the Company delivers a Termination Notice
to the Investor or an Automatic Termination occurs, the Company shall pay to the
Investor (the "Termination Fee") the greater of (i) the Semi-Annual Non-Usage
Fee for the applicable Commitment Evaluation Period, or (ii) the difference of
(x) $200,000, minus (y) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares
put to Investor during all Puts to date, and the Company shall not be required
to pay the Semi-Annual Non-Usage Fee thereafter.

                                       21
<PAGE>

         Each Semi Annual Non-Usage Fee or Termination Fee is payable, in cash,
within five (5) business days of the date it accrued. The Company shall not be
required to deliver any payments to Investor under this subsection until
Investor has paid all Put Dollar Amounts that are then due.

within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act for any tax or legal advice (other

3.2.4 below and on the Opinion of Counsel). The foregoing, however, does not
limit or modify Investor's right to rely upon covenants, representations and
warranties of the Company in this Agreement.

has the ability to bear the economic risk of Investor's investment pursuant to
this Agreement and that Investor is an "Accredited Investor" by virtue of the
fact that Investor meets the investor qualification standards set forth in
Section 3.1 above. Investor has not been organized for the purpose of investing
in securities of the Company, although such investment is consistent with
Investor's purposes.

                  3.3  EXEMPT OFFERING UNDER REGULATION D.

                           3.3.1 NO GENERAL SOLICITATION. The Investment

form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without
limitation, (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication

television or radio, and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been
invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

                           3.3.2 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Investor understands
that the Investment Agreement is, the Common Stock and Warrants issued at each
Put Closing will be, and the Warrant Shares will be, characterized as
"restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired from the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the federal securities laws and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may not be transferred or resold without
registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In this
connection, Investor represents that Investor is familiar with Rule 144 under
the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed
thereby and by the Act.

                                       23
<PAGE>

                           3.3.3 DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, Investor agrees that until the Securities are
sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or an exemption from
registration, they will remain in the name of Investor and will not be
transferred to or assigned to any broker, dealer or depositary. Investor further
agrees not to sell, transfer, assign, or pledge the Securities (except for any
bona fide pledge arrangement to the extent that such pledge does not require
registration under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available and provided further that if such pledge is realized upon, any
transfer to the pledgee shall comply with the requirements set forth herein), or
to otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement and in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery
requirements; or

extent relevant for determination of the availability of an exemption from
registration, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, Investor shall
have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of the
Securities under the Act or state securities laws. It is agreed that the Company
will not require the Investor to provide opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to Rule 144 provided that Investor and Investor's broker, if
necessary, provide the Company with the necessary representations for counsel to
the Company to issue an opinion with respect to such transaction.

                  The Investor is entering into this Agreement for its own
account and the Investor has no present arrangement (whether or not legally
binding) at any time to sell the Common Stock to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the
Investor does not agree to hold the Common Stock for any minimum or other
specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock at any time
in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such
disposition.

under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available and
provided further that if such pledge is realized upon, any transfer to the
pledgee shall comply with the requirements set forth herein), assigned or

period of time;

                  4.6 EXEMPT TRANSACTION. Investor understands that the
Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of federal and state law and that the

power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to

standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company is not the subject of any pending,
threatened or, to its knowledge, contemplated investigation or administrative or
legal proceeding (a "Proceeding") by the Internal Revenue Service, the taxing
authorities of any state or local jurisdiction, or the Securities and Exchange
Commission, The National Association of Securities Dealer, Inc., The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc. or any state securities commission, or any other governmental
entity, which have not been disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. None of the

                  5.2 Corporate Condition. The Company's condition is, in all
material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents (as further set
forth in any subsequently filed Disclosure Documents, if applicable), except for
changes in the ordinary course of business and normal year-end adjustments that
are not, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Company. Except for
continuing losses, there have been no material adverse changes to the Company's
business, financial condition, or prospects since the dates of such Disclosure
Documents. The financial statements as contained in the Company's unaudited
balance sheet as of March 31, 2000 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (except as

of unaudited interim financial statements, to customary year end adjustments and
the absence of certain footnotes, and fairly present the financial condition of
the Company as of the dates of the balance sheets included therein and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended,. Without limiting the foregoing, there are no material liabilities,
contingent or actual, that are not disclosed in the Disclosure Documents (other
than liabilities incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of its business,
consistent with its past practice, after the period covered by the Disclosure
Documents). The Company has paid all material taxes that are due, except for
taxes that it reasonably disputes. There is no material claim, litigation, or
administrative proceeding pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
threatened against the Company, except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.
This Agreement and the Disclosure Documents do not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact and do not omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or herein necessary to make the statements contained therein or
herein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made. No event or circumstance exists relating to the Company which, under
applicable law, requires public disclosure but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed.

                  5.3 AUTHORIZATION. All corporate action on the part of the
Company by its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all
obligations of the Company hereunder and the authorization, issuance and
delivery of the Common Stock being sold hereunder and the issuance (and/or the
reservation for issuance) of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have been
taken, and this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except insofar as the enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally or by principles governing the availability of
equitable remedies. The Company has obtained all consents and approvals required
for it to execute, deliver and perform each agreement referenced in the previous
sentence.

any assets of the Company, which would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business or prospects, or on the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, (b) violate the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or (c) violate any statute, rule or
governmental regulation applicable to the Company which violation would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business or prospects.

to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and to have
a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act not later
than six (6) months from the date hereof, and shall file all reports required by
the Exchange Act following the date the Company first becomes subject to such
reporting obligations. The Company undertakes to furnish Investor with copies of
such reports as may be reasonably requested by Investor prior to consummation of
this Offering and thereafter, to make such reports available, for the full term
of this Agreement, including any extensions thereof, and for as long as Investor
holds the Securities. The Company has not furnished to the Investor any material
nonpublic information concerning the Company.

is, and the capitalization as of the Closing, subject to exercise of any
outstanding warrants and/or exercise of any outstanding stock options, after
taking into account the offering of the Securities contemplated by this
Agreement and all other share issuances occurring prior to this Offering, will
be, as set forth in the Capitalization Schedule as set forth in EXHIBIT K.
Except as disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions, there are no securities or
instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be
triggered by the issuance of the Securities. Except as disclosed in the
Capitalization Schedule, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company
or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. There are certain
agreements or arrangements under which the Company is obligated to register the
sale of any of its or their securities under the Act (except the Registration
Rights Agreement).

its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any of the Company's securities or
solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would prevent

pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation D of the Act or
would require the issuance of any other securities to be integrated with this
Offering under the Rules of Nasdaq. The Company has not engaged in any form of
general solicitation or advertising in connection with the offering of the
Common Stock or the Warrants.

                  5.16 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 subsidiary has, in the course of its

is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,

its subsidiaries, any intention to terminate his employment with, or services
to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or

                                       30

                  5.21 APPLICATION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTIONS. The Company and its
board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination or other
similar anti-takeover provision under Delaware law which is or could become
applicable to the Investor as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Stock, any
exercise of the Warrants and ownership of the Common Shares and Warrant Shares.

that would be applicable to Investor as a result of transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

                  5.22 OTHER AGREEMENTS. The Company has not, directly or

exercise of the full amount of the Commitment Warrants, and second for issuance
upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants and for issuance as Put Shares. The
Company shall, at its next annual shareholder meeting following its listing on
either the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or the Nasdaq National Market, or at a
special meeting to be held as soon as practicable thereafter, use its best
efforts to obtain approval of its shareholders to authorize the issuance of the
full number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable under this
Agreement and eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or
regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other
self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its

                                       31
<PAGE>

securities with respect to the Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock
in excess of the Cap Amount (such approvals being the "20% Approval"). In
connection with such shareholder vote, the Company shall use its best efforts to
cause all officers and directors of the Company to promptly enter into
irrevocable agreements to vote all of their shares in favor of eliminating such
prohibitions.

                  5.26 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LIMITATIONS ON PUT AMOUNTS. The Company

and, once it becomes a "Reporting Issuer" (defined as a Company which files
periodic reports under the Exchange Act), remain a Reporting Issuer (provided,
however, that the foregoing covenant shall not prevent the Company from entering
into any merger or corporate reorganization as long as the surviving entity in
such transaction, if not the Company, assumes the Company's obligations with
respect to the Common Stock and has Common Stock listed for trading on a stock
exchange or on Nasdaq and is a Reporting Issuer) and shall pay all its taxes
when due except for taxes which the Company disputes.

for a proper business purpose or (ii) transfer, sell, convey or otherwise
dispose of any of its material assets to any Affiliate, as defined below, during
the Term of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, "Affiliate" shall mean any

                  6.5 RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.

                                       32
<PAGE>

referred to as the "Capital Raising Limitations"). For purposes hereof, the
following shall be collectively referred to herein as, the "Equity Securities":
(i) Common Stock or any other equity securities, (ii) any debt or equity
securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry
the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities, or (iii) any securities of the Company pursuant to an equity line
structure or format similar in nature to this Offering.

                           6.5.2 INVESTOR'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. For any
private capital raising transactions of Equity Securities which close after the
date hereof and on or prior to the date that is one (1) year after the
Termination Date of this Agreement, not including any warrants issued in
conjunction with this Investment Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver to
Investor, at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such transaction,

conditions thereof, and providing the Investor and its affiliates an option
during the ten (10) day period following delivery of such notice to purchase the
securities being offered in such transaction on the same terms as contemplated
by such transaction.

                           6.5.3 EXCEPTIONS TO RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
Notwithstanding the above, the Rights of First Refusal shall not apply to any
transaction involving issuances of securities in connection with a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or sale of assets, or in connection with any
strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to
raise equity capital), or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a
business, product or license by the Company or exercise of options by employees,
consultants or directors, or a primary underwritten offering of the Company's

exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible

employees, directors or consultants, or (c) the issuance of debt securities,
with no equity feature, incurred solely for working capital purposes. If the
Investor, at any time, is more than five (5) business days late in paying any
Put Dollar Amounts that are then due, the Investor shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 6.5.1 and 6.5.2 above until the date that the Investor has

Investment Commitment Closing, receive an opinion letter from the Company's
legal counsel, in the form attached as EXHIBIT B, or in such form as agreed upon
by the parties, and shall, concurrent with each Put Date, receive an opinion
letter from the Company's legal counsel, in the form attached as EXHIBIT I or in

                                       33
<PAGE>

                  6.8 REMOVAL OF LEGEND. If the certificates representing any
Securities are issued with a restrictive Legend in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is
stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the
Legend, if (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Act, or (b)
such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance
and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (the
reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Investor), to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under
the Act, or (c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that
such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Each Investor agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend,
pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in
connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Act.

                  6.9 LISTING. Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.9, as
soon as practicable after the Company becomes a Reporting Issuer, the Company
shall use its best efforts to cause its shares of Common Stock (including all
Warrant Shares and Put Shares) to become listed and available for trading on the
O.T.C. Bulletin Board. Thereafter, the Company shall (i) use its best efforts to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the O.T.C. Bulletin
Board or to become eligible for and listed and available for trading on the
Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the NMS, or the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"); and
(ii) comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and
other obligations under the By-Laws or rules of the National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as applicable.

                  6.10 THE COMPANY'S INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT. Once the
Company becomes a Reporting Issuer, the Company agrees to promptly retain a
transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") for its Common Stock and the Company will
promptly instruct the Transfer Agent, by delivering instructions in the form of
EXHIBIT T hereto, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Investor
or its nominee, for the Put Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by the Company upon any exercise by the Company of a
Put and/or exercise of the Warrants by the holder thereof. Such certificates
shall not bear a Legend unless issuance with a Legend is permitted by the terms
of this Agreement and Legend removal is not permitted by Section 6.8 hereof and
the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue such certificates without a
Legend. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way Investor's obligations
and agreement set forth in Sections 3.3.2 or 3.3.3 hereof to resell the
Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a
prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) an Investor
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall
be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be
sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) an
Investor transfers Securities, pursuant to Rule 144, to a transferee which is an
accredited investor, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of
Put Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one
or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such

                                       34
<PAGE>

Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 6.10 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 6.10, that an
Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

                  6.11 STOCKHOLDER 20% APPROVAL. Prior to the closing of any Put
that would cause the Aggregate Issued Shares to exceed the Cap Amount, if
required by the rules of NASDAQ because the Company's Common Stock is listed on
NASDAQ, the Company shall obtain approval of its stockholders to authorize (i)
the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable pursuant to this Agreement but for the Cap Amount and eliminate any
prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock
exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization
with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities with respect to the
Company's ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Cap Amount
(such approvals being the "Stockholder 20% Approval").

                  6.12 PRESS RELEASE. The Company agrees that the Investor shall
have the right to review and comment upon any press release issued by the

         9. INDEMNIFICATION.

         In consideration of the Investor's execution and delivery of the
Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants (the
"Transaction Documents") and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition
to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the
Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all of
its stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing person's agents, members, partners or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those 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 attorney's 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 made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or

                                       37
<PAGE>

documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(c) any cause of action, suit or claim, derivative or otherwise, by any
stockholder of the Company based on a breach or alleged breach by the Company or
any of its officers or directors of their fiduciary or other obligations to the
stockholders of the Company, or (d) claims made by third parties against any of
the Indemnitees based on a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act caused
by the integration of the private sale of common stock to the Investor and the
public offering pursuant to the Registration Statement.

         To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be
unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it
would be required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is
permissible under applicable law.

         Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
other party (hereinafter "Indemnitor") under this Section 9, deliver to the
Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall
have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably
incurred fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interest between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnitor within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if
prejudicial to the Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the
Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, but
the omission to so deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it
of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this
Section 9 to the extent it is prejudicial.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter, this "Agreement"), made and
entered into in the City of Washington, D.C., this 28th day of February, 1991,
by and between American Utilicraft Corporation, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (hereinafter, the
"Corporation"), and John J. Dupont, residing at 7313 South View Court, City of
Fairfax Station, State of Virginia (hereinafter, "Dupont").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         1.  The Corporation hereby employs Dupont, and Dupont agrees to work
for the Corporation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation,
reporting to the Board of Directors.

         2.  The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of five (5) years
from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

         3.  Dupont agrees to devote his full time and efforts to his duties as
President and Chief Executive Officer for the profit, benefit and advantage of
the business of the Corporation, once major start-up financing (approximately
$20,000,000) is in place.

         4.  (a) The Corporation agrees to pay Dupont a basic salary at the rate
of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per annum, payable in semi-monthly
installments, for all the services to be rendered by Dupont hereunder, including
service as a director, member of a committee, and any other duties related to
his position required of him by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The
basic salary above-stated is understood by the parties to this Agreement to be
payable to Dupont during the period in which the Corporation is developing the
FF-1080 aircraft and seeking its Federal Aviation Administration (hereinafter
"FAA") aircraft type certificate (approximately 18 to 24 months).

             (b) When the initial FAA aircraft type certificate is achieved, the
basic salary payable to Dupont will increase to One Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($150,000.00) per annum effective the first day of the month in which
the FAA issues the initial FF-1080 aircraft type certificate to the Corporation.

<PAGE>

             (c) The basic salary payable to Dupont will further increase to Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000.00) per annum effective the first day of the
month in which the Corporation delivers production aircraft number twenty-four
(24).

             (d) Basic salary payments to Dupont under this Agreement shall
begin on the first day of the month in which the major start-up financing
(approximately $20,000,000) of the Corporation is achieved.

             (e) The basic salary payments made to Dupont under this paragraph
shall be adjusted annually, effective the first day of the thirteenth month
after any such payment under subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above begins, by the
percentage of the annual rate of change in the Consumer Price Index for the
twelve months preceding the above effective date.

         5.  (a) The Corporation agrees that at the end of each Corporate fiscal
year, in which Dupont shall have been in the employ of the Corporation for at
least one day of such fiscal year, it will pay Dupont as a bonus an additional
sum amounting to four percent (4%) of the net profits of the Corporation for
that fiscal year.

             (b) Determination of "net profits", for purposes of the bonus
payment described in this paragraph shall be consistent with net income as
otherwise determined in the Corporation's annual financial statements, which
statements shall be prepared under generally accepted accounting principles. The
Corporation's annual financial statements, including its Annual Statement of
Income, shall be audited no less than annually by an independent Certified
Public Accountant.

         6.  The Corporation agrees to pay all reasonable expenses incurred by
Dupont in furtherance of the business of the Corporation, including travel and
entertainment expenses. The Corporation agrees to reimburse Dupont for any such
expenses paid out by him in the first instance, upon submission by him of a
statement itemizing such expenses.

         7.  If Dupont shall, after major start-up financing (approximately
$20,000,000) is in place, be absent from work because of illness or other cause
for a period, or aggregate of periods, in excess of six (6) months in any one
(1) year of the term of employment, the Corporation shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement on one hundred eighty (180) days notice to Dupont. In
that event, the Corporation shall pay Dupont his compensation to the date of
termination.

                                     - 2 -

         8.  Dupont agrees that the Corporation may, from time to time, apply
for and take out in its own name and at its own expense, life, health, accident,
or other insurance upon Dupont that the Corporation may deem necessary or
advisable to protect its interests hereunder; the total amount of such life
insurance shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) without the
written consent of Dupont. Dupont agrees to submit to any medical or other
examination necessary for such purpose and to assist and cooperate with the
Corporation in procuring such insurance; and Dupont agrees that other than his
rights as a shareholder he shall have no right, title, or interest in or to such
insurance.

         9.  In the event of the death of Dupont during the period of this
Agreement and after the major start-up financing (approximately $20,000,000) is
in place, the Corporation agrees to pay Dupont's legal representatives the sum
of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).

         10. Dupont agrees that after major start-up financing (approximately
$20,000,000) is in place, he will not engage in any other commercial activity,
whether or not competitive with the business of the Corporation, nor be
affiliated in any other way as officer, director, or significant stockholder of
another corporation without the consent of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.

         11. (a) Dupont represents that he has invented a twin-engined utility
transport aircraft which he has designated the FF-1080 aircraft, and further
represents that he has invented an aircraft freight feeder system which he has
designated the ETA (for Express Turn-Around) system, and further represents that
he has executed applications for patents and trademarks of the United States on
the aircraft and on the aircraft freight feeder system. The Corporation desires
to continue development of and manufacture the FF-l080 aircraft and the ETA
aircraft freight feeder system. Dupont hereby agrees to assign such inventions
to the Corporation in the form of a written assignment, subject to the provision
of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 11, and to grant to the Corporation all
rights otherwise necessary to manufacture the FF-1080 aircraft and the ETA
aircraft freight feeder system for a term beginning with the date of this
Agreement and, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph
11, ending with the expiration of the patents to be obtained thereon as such
patents are defined by Exhibits A and B hereto.

             (b) Dupont and the Corporation agree that any improvements, further
inventions or discoveries which each may come upon, conceive, make, invent or
discover, or otherwise acquire with reference to the FF-1080 aircraft or the ETA
freight feeder system or with reference to aircraft or aviation during the
period in which this Agreement is in effect, shall become subject to the terms
of this Agreement including subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 11, in the same
manner as the FF-1080 aircraft and the ETA aircraft freight feeder system.

             (c) Dupont agrees to apply for patents upon such new improvements,
discoveries and inventions and to assign such inventions and grant exclusive
manufacturing rights with respect to such applications and the patents issued
thereon to the Corporation, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (d) of
this paragraph 11, as soon as legally possible; provided, however, that Dupont
may require the Corporation to pay the expenses of making and prosecuting such
patent applications and other patent matters, and may refuse to proceed
therewith unless he is indemnified against such expenses.

             (d) The Corporation agrees that if, for any reason except as
contemplated by paragraph 15 below, the Corporation or its successors or assigns
shall discontinue its start-up efforts, and/or its development of the FF-l080
aircraft and/or the ETA aircraft freight feeder system, and/or its FAA
certification of the FF-1080 aircraft, and/or its aircraft manufacturing
business, and/or files chapter 11 or 7 bankruptcy, and/or if Dupont or the
Corporation terminates this Agreement for any reason prior to the Corporation
securing major development financing (approximately $20,000,000), all patents,
including but not limited to those defined by Exhibits A and B hereto, and all
licenses, manufacturing rights, marketing rights, design rights, and rights of
any other kind, which may have been granted or assigned to the Corporation by
Dupont, are revoked and Dupont or his heirs or assigns shall be permitted to
practice the inventions and associated trademarks and exercise all other
intellectual property rights covered by such grants or assignments without
interference by the Corporation or its successors or assigns, and title to all
engineering, engineering drawings, designs and technical data of any type,
including, but not limited to, computer-aided design and engineering data and
software, shall transfer to Dupont or his heirs or assigns.

             (e) In the event of the expiration without renewal of this
Agreement, or in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason
except as contemplated by subparagraph (d) above, the Corporation or its
successors or assigns shall have the right to continue the development,
manufacture and sale of the FF-1080 aircraft and the ETA aircraft freight feeder
system as defined in Exhibits A and B hereto and derivative versions of the
aircraft and freight feeder system, or any other aircraft or freight feeder
systems, subject to the payment to Dupont, or his heirs or assigns, of royalties
equal to three percent (3%) of the gross sale price of all such aircraft and/or
systems delivered to purchasers after the termination date. Such royalties shall
be paid within thirty (30) days of delivery by certified or cashier's check.

             (f) Dupont agrees that he shall exercise reasonable care to prevent
disclosure of the Corporation's proprietary information to others and shall not,
himself, at any time during the period of this Agreement and after its
termination unless terminated pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 11,
disclose the Corporation's proprietary information to others and will not use
such information for any purpose except as contemplated by this Agreement. The
term "proprietary information" as used herein includes, in addition to
information so designated and labeled by the Corporation, all business,
financial, technical and design information related to the Corporation's
developmental and production aircraft whether or not designated and labeled as
proprietary information.

         12. Dupont agrees that, for a period of three (3) years after
termination of this Agreement, unless termination is initiated by the
Corporation or is terminated by Dupont, subject to subparagraph (d) of paragraph
11, he will not engage in any way, directly or indirectly, in any business
competitive with the business of the Corporation.

         13. Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (d) of paragraph 11
hereof, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon one
hundred eighty (180) days notice to the other. If Dupont terminates this
Agreement, the Corporation shall pay Dupont until the date of termination. If
the Corporation terminates the Agreement, it shall forthwith pay additional
compensation to Dupont in the form of a lump sum payment of ten (10) times the
average amount of annual basic salary payable under paragraph 4(c) above, and
ten (10) times the average amount of bonus payments payable under paragraph 5
above, paid for five (5) years (or, in the case of basic salary, any lesser
number of years if basic salary payments were not made for five (5) years) prior
to the date of termination. If bonus payments under paragraph 5 above were not
made for five (5) years prior to the date of termination, the average amount of
bonus payments shall be the five (5) year average of bonus payments for those
years in which bonus payments shall actually have been made, if any, and
projected bonus payments for the succeeding years (for a total of five (5)
years) per the manufacturing cost assumptions for projected production aircraft
shown in Exhibit A hereto.

         14. (a) For protection of Dupont against possible termination after a
change of control (defined below) of the Corporation and to induce Dupont to
continue to serve in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer or in
such other capacity to which he may be elected or appointed, the Corporation
will provide severance benefits in the event Dupont's employment is terminated
after a change of control.

             (b) "Change of control" shall have occurred if, at any time after
the Corporation acquires its major start-up financing, (a) any person (as used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act ("SEA") of 1934)
becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13(d)-3 of the SEA) of a total
of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's
common stock, or (b) the Board of Directors of the Corporation is composed of a
majority of directors who were not directors of the Corporation on the date of
this Agreement, or (c) the change is of the type that is required to be reported
under Item 5(f) of Schedule 14 of Regulation l4A promulgated under the SEA.

             (c) If a change of control has occurred, Dupont shall be entitled
to severance benefits if his employment is terminated by him due to:

                 (i)   the assignment to him of any duties not consistent with
his present position, or a change in titles or offices, or any failure to
re-elect him to any positions held on the date of the change of control;

                 (ii)  a reduction in salary or discontinuance of any bonus
plans in effect on the date of the change of control; or

                 (iii) a change in geographic location of where his position is
based in excess of twenty (20) miles or required travel in excess of his usual
business travel schedule.

             (d) Dupont shall be entitled to severance benefits if his
employment is terminated by the Corporation after a change of control.

             (e) Severance benefits after a change of control has occurred shall
be:

                 (i)   a lump sum payment of ten (10) times the amount of annual
basic salary payable under paragraph 4(c) above, and ten (10) times the average
amount of bonus payments payable under paragraph 5 above, made for five (5)
years (or, in the case of basic salary, any lesser number of years if basic
salary payments were not made for five (5) years) prior to the change of
control;
                 (ii)  in the event that such severance benefits are payable
prior to completion by the Corporation of the fifth year of production aircraft
deliveries, the bonus payments portion of the above lump sum payment shall be
the five (5) year average of bonus payments under paragraph 5 above for those
years in which bonus payments shall actually have been made, if any, and
projected bonus payments for the succeeding year (for a total of five (5) years)
per the manufacturing cost assumptions for projected production aircraft shown
in Exhibit C hereto.

                 (iii) allowance of surrender of all outstanding stock options,
with the price to be determined by taking the difference between the option
price and the price of the stock on the date of the change of control or the
date of termination, whichever is higher; and

                 (iv)  all employee benefits in effect and applicable to Dupont
on the date of the change of control will be retained and paid by the
Corporation for Dupont for a period of two (2) years. These benefits shall
include all health, accident, and disability plans as well as any life insurance
plans provided by or through the Corporation.

             (f) Dupont shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided under these severance benefits by seeking other employment and
none of these payments may be reduced by any future salary he may earn.

             (g) In the event of a change of control, the Corporation is aware
that the Board of Directors or a shareholder or shareholders of the Corporation
may cause the Corporation to refuse to comply with its obligations under this
paragraph, or may cause the Corporation to institute litigation seeking to have
this paragraph declared unenforceable, or may take other action to deny Dupont
the benefits intended to be provided under this paragraph. It is the intent of
the Corporation that Dupont not be required to incur expenses in enforcing his
rights under this paragraph by litigation or other legal action because the
costs and expenses thereof would substantially detract from the benefits
intended to be extended to Dupont under this paragraph.

other legal action designed to deny Dupont the benefits intended to be extended
under this paragraph, the Corporation authorizes Dupont to retain counsel of his

counsel. The Corporation and Dupont agree that a confidential relationship will
exist between Dupont and such counsel.

expenses of counsel retained by Dupont shall be paid or reimbursed to Dupont by
the Corporation on a regular, periodic basis upon Dupont's presentation of a
statement or statements prepared by counsel in accordance with its customary
practices, up to a maximum aggregate amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00).

         15. The Corporation shall have the right, with the consent of Dupont,
to assign this Agreement to its successors or assigns and all covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by or
against its said successors or assigns. The terms "successor" and "assign" shall

         16. The Corporation shall indemnify Dupont and hold him harmless
against any claims or legal action of any type brought against Dupont with
respect to his activities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation and in such other capacity to which he may be elected or appointed,
and with respect to his services as a director, member of a committee and any
other duties related to his position whether such claims or actions be

Dupont therein. In the event an action should be filed with respect to the
subject of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement, the Corporation agrees
that Dupont may employ an attorney of Dupont's own selection to appear and
defend the action, on behalf of Dupont, at the expense of the Corporation.
Dupont, at his option, shall have the sole authority for the direction of the
defense, and shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of any compromise or
settlement of any claims or actions against Dupont.

the circumstances of employment under this Agreement shall be determined by
arbitration. The controversy shall be submitted to the American Arbitration
Association for final determination.

         18. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach thereof.

         19. If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid by any
Tribunal, then such provision shall be deemed automatically adjusted to conform
to the requirements for validity as declared at such time and, as so adjusted,
shall be deemed a provision of this Agreement as though originally included
herein. In the event that the provision invalidated is of such a nature that it
cannot be so adjusted, the provisions shall be deemed deleted from this
Agreement as though the provision had never been included herein. In either
case, the remaining provisions of this agreement shall remain in effect.

         20. This Agreement may be renewed, extended or modified by mutual
agreement in writing in the form of a numbered amendment hereto.
