                      (a) ADVANCES. Upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article VII hereof), on
any Advance Notice Date the Company may request an Advance by the Investor by
the delivery of an Advance Notice. The number of shares of Common Stock that the

                      (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall only

times during the Pricing Period.

                      (c) The Company acknowledges that the Investor may sell
the Company's Common Stock, in an amount of shares of Common Stock not to exceed
the number of shares of Common Stock owed pursuant to the relevant Advance
Notice, purchased pursuant to an Advance Notice during the corresponding Pricing
Period.

           Section 2.2. MECHANICS.

                      (a) ADVANCE NOTICE. At any time during the Commitment
Period, the Company may deliver an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, the amount for each
Advance as designated by the Company in the applicable Advance Notice, shall not
be more than the Maximum Advance Amount. The aggregate amount of the Advances
pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the Commitment Amount, unless
otherwise agreed by the Investor in the Investor's sole and absolute discretion.

                                       4
<PAGE>

The Company acknowledges that the Investor may sell shares of the Company's
Common Stock corresponding with a particular Advance Notice on the day the
Advance Notice is received by the Investor. There will be a minimum of seven (7)
Trading Days between each Advance Notice Date.

                      (b) DATE OF DELIVERY OF ADVANCE NOTICE. An Advance Notice
shall be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by facsimile or
otherwise by the Investor if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon Eastern
Time, or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day if it is received by
facsimile or otherwise after 12:00 noon Eastern Time on a Trading Day or at any
time on a day which is not a Trading Day. No Advance Notice may be deemed
delivered, on a day that is not a Trading Day.

                      (c) PRE-CLOSING SHARE CREDIT. Within two (2) business days
after the Advance Notice Date, the Company shall credit shares of the Company's
Common Stock to the Investor's balance account with The Depository Trust Company
through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, in an amount equal to the
amount of the requested Advance divided by the closing Bid Price of the
Company's Common Stock as of the Advance Notice Date multiplied by one point one
(1.1). Any adjustments to the number of shares to be delivered to the Investor
at the Closing as a result of fluctuations in the closing Bid Price of the
Company's Common Stock shall be made as of the date of the Closing. Any excess
shares shall be credited to the next Advance. In no event shall the number of
shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the Investor to own
in excess of nine and 9/10 percent (9.9%) of the then outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.

                      (d) HARDSHIP. In the event the Investor sells the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to subsection (c) above and the Company fails to
perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.5 and 2.2 (c), and specifically
fails to provide the Investor with the shares of Common Stock for the applicable
Advance, the Company acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial
hardship and therefore shall be liable for any and all losses, commissions,
fees, or financial hardship caused to the Investor.

           Section 2.3. CLOSINGS. On each Advance Date, which shall be six (6)
Trading Days after an Advance Notice Date, (i) the Company shall deliver to the
Investor's Counsel, as defined pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, shares of the
Company's Common Stock, representing the amount of the Advance by the Investor
pursuant to Section 2.1 herein, registered in the name of the Investor which
shall be delivered to the Investor, or otherwise in accordance with the Escrow
Agreement and (ii) the Investor shall deliver to Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the
"ESCROW AGENT") the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice by
wire transfer of immediately available funds which shall be delivered to the
Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In addition, on
or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver
to the other through the Investor's Counsel all documents, instruments and
writings required to be delivered or reasonably requested by either of them
pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions
contemplated herein. Payment of funds to the Company and delivery of the
Company's Common Stock to the Investor shall occur in accordance with the
conditions set forth above and those contained in the Escrow Agreement;

           Section 3.1. ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION. The Investor is duly
incorporated or organized and validly existing in the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to
purchase and hold the securities issuable hereunder. The decision to invest and
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Investor, the performance

delivered by the Investor and, assuming the execution and delivery hereof and
acceptance thereof by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms.

           Section 3.2. EVALUATION OF RISKS. The Investor has such knowledge and
experience in financial tax and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of, and bearing the economic risks entailed by, an

and investment and tax advisors. The Investor is relying solely on such counsel

of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with
respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

           Section 3.4. INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The securities are being purchased
by the Investor for its own account, for investment and without any view to the
distribution, assignment or resale to others or fractionalization in whole or in
part. The Investor agrees not to assign or in any way transfer the Investor's
rights to the securities or any interest therein and acknowledges that the
Company will not recognize any purported assignment or transfer except in
accordance with applicable Federal and state securities laws. No other person
has or will have a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the securities. The
Investor agrees not to sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Investor's

advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the
Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence
investigations conducted by such Investor or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor's right to rely on
the Company's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. The
Investor understands that its investment involves a high degree of risk. The
Investor is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment,
family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such
Investor to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits
and risks of this investment. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and
tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to this transaction.

<PAGE>

or supplements to the registration statement or related prospectus; (ii) the
issuance by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in the
Registration Statement or related prospectus of any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related
prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related prospectus, it will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any

commencement of the Commitment Period, the Company must notify the Investor, in
writing, as to its reasonable expectations as to the dollar amount it intends to

Notices. Such notification shall constitute only the Company's good faith
estimate and shall in no way obligate the Company to raise such amount, or any
amount, or otherwise limit its ability to deliver Advance Notices. The failure
by the Company to comply with this provision can be cured by the Company's
notifying the Investor, in writing, at any time as to its reasonable
expectations with respect to the current calendar quarter.

Commitment Period, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of

consideration or for a consideration per share less than its Bid Price
determined immediately prior to its issuance, (ii) issue or sell any warrant,
option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the
holder thereof the right to acquire Common Stock without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than such Common Stock's Bid Price determined
immediately prior to its issuance, or (iii) file any registration statement on
Form S-8 (other than with respect to a bona fide employee benefit plan),
provided, however, that the Investor is given ten (10) days prior written
notice, nothing in this section shall prohibit the issuance of shares of Common
Stock pursuant to existing contracts or commitments, upon exercise of currently
outstanding options or convertible securities, or in connection with any
acquisition.

           Section 6.9. CONSOLIDATION; MERGER. The Company shall not, at any
time after the date hereof, effect any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into, or a transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the

                                       17

or waiver by the Company, at or before each such Closing, of each of the
conditions set forth below.

                      (a) ACCURACY OF THE INVESTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES. The representations and warranties of the Investor shall be true and
correct in all material respects.

                      (b) PERFORMANCE BY THE INVESTOR. The Investor shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all respects with all covenants, agreements
and conditions required by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Investor at or prior to such
Closing.

           Section 7.2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY TO
DELIVER AN ADVANCE NOTICE AND THE OBLIGATION OF THE INVESTOR TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK. The right of the Company to deliver an Advance Notice and the
obligation of the Investor hereunder to acquire and pay for shares of the
Company's Common Stock incident to a Closing is subject to the satisfaction or
waiver by the Investor, on (i) the date of delivery of such Advance Notice and
(ii) the applicable Advance Date (each a "CONDITION SATISFACTION DATE"), of each
of the following conditions:

                      (a) REGISTRATION OF THE COMMON STOCK WITH THE SEC. The
Company shall have filed with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to
the resale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement. As set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Registration Statement shall have previously become effective and
shall remain effective on each Condition Satisfaction Date and (i) neither the
Company nor the Investor shall have received notice that the SEC has issued or
intends to issue a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement or that
the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the

threatened to do so (unless the SEC's concerns have been addressed and the
Investor is reasonably satisfied that the SEC no longer is considering or
intends to take such action), and (ii) no other suspension of the use or
withdrawal of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or related
prospectus shall exist. The Registration Statement must have been declared

<PAGE>

                      (b) AUTHORITY. The Company shall have obtained all permits
and qualifications required by any applicable state in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement for the offer and sale of the shares of Common

issuance of the shares of Common Stock shall be legally permitted by all laws
and regulations to which the Company is subject.

                      (c) FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES. There shall not exist any
fundamental changes to the information set forth in the Registration Statement
which would require the Company to file a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement.

                      (d) PERFORMANCE BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall have
performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the conditions specified in Section 2.5 hereof) and the Registration
Rights Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at
or prior to each Condition Satisfaction Date.

                      (e) NO INJUNCTION. No statute, rule, regulation, executive
order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or endorsed by any court or governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and adversely affects any of the

commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or adversely affecting any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                      (f) NO SUSPENSION OF TRADING IN OR DELISTING OF COMMON
STOCK. The trading of the Common Stock is not suspended by the SEC or the
Principal Market (if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal Market). The
issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect to the applicable Closing, if
any, shall not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal
Market (if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal market). The Company shall
not have received any notice threatening the continued listing of the Common
Stock on the Principal Market (if the Common Stock is traded on a Principal
Market).

                      (g) MAXIMUM ADVANCE AMOUNT. The amount of the individual
Advance requested by the Company does not exceed the Maximum Advance Amount. In
addition, in no event shall the number of shares issuable to the Investor
pursuant to an Advance cause the Investor to own in excess of nine and 9/10
percent (9.9%) of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

                      (h) NO KNOWLEDGE. The Company has no knowledge of any
event more likely than not to have the effect of causing such Registration
Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.
         DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW; NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

           Section 8.1. DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW. Prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement the Company shall make available for inspection and
review by the Investor, advisors to and representatives of the Investor, any
underwriter participating in any disposition of the Registrable Securities on
behalf of the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, any such
registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or any blue sky, NASD
or other filing, all financial and other records, all SEC Documents and other

                                       19
<PAGE>

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.

           Section 8.2. NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.

                      (a) The Company shall not disclose non-public information
to the Investor, advisors to or representatives of the Investor unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being
non-public information and provides the Investor, such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such
non-public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing
any non-public information hereunder, require the Investor's advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Investor.

                      (b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose
non-public information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and
the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public 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 non-public information (whether or not requested of the
Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by 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 8.2 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 non-public information in the course of conducting due diligence in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any
such persons or entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based
on such due diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement of 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.
