<PAGE>

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

Business Days notice of the intended Put Date, unless waived in writing by the

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.

                        (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) 1,500,000 shares, (ii) 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 30,000 or more shares
of Common Stock by parties other than the Investor or its affiliates, for all
Evaluation Days (as defined below) in the Pricing Period, (iii) the number of
Put Shares which, when multiplied by their respective Put Share Prices, equals
the Maximum Put Dollar Amount, and (iv) the 9.9% Limitation, 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 30,000 or more shares of Common
Stock by parties other than the Investor or its affiliates, for the twenty (20)
Business Days immediately preceding the Advance Put Notice 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 $0.075, 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

<PAGE>

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 $0.075, 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
(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
delivery of the Put Shares of Common Stock shall be in the form of physical
certificates. If specifically requested by the Investor, the Put Shares shall be
transmitted electronically pursuant to such electronic delivery system as the
Investor shall request. 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, if all of the Required Put Documents have not been delivered
by the date that is three (3) Business Days following the original Put Date,
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

misrepresentation, or for any other offense that, if prosecuted criminally,
would constitute a felony under applicable law;

                        (b) the  Company  shall not  exercise a Put or any Put

proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of

                        (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

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 acquire
and pay for the Put Shares with respect to any Put for which the Company has
announced a subdivision or combination, including a reverse split, of its Common
Stock or has subdivided or combined its Common Stock during the Extended Put
Period;

                        (c) the  Investor  shall not be  obligated  to acquire

its assets or evidences of indebtedness to the holders of its Common Stock;

                        (e) the  Investor  shall not be  obligated  to acquire
and pay for the Put Shares with respect to any Put for which a Major Transaction
has occurred during the Extended Put Period.

                  2.3.4 Conditions Precedent to the Right of the Company to
Deliver an Advance Put Notice or a Put Notice and the Obligation of the Investor

                  Market, the Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock
                  Exchange and the Put Shares shall be so listed, and to the
                  Company's knowledge there is no notice of any suspension or
                  delisting with respect to the trading of the shares of Common
                  Stock on such market or exchange;

            (b)   the Company shall have satisfied any and all obligations
                  pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including, but
                  not limited to, the filing of the Registration Statement with
                  the SEC with respect to the resale of all Registrable
                  Securities and the requirement that the Registration Statement
                  shall have been declared effective by the SEC for the resale
                  of all Registrable Securities and the Company shall have
                  satisfied and shall be in compliance with any and all
                  obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants;

            (c)   the representations and warranties of the Company are true and
                  correct in all material respects as if made on such date and
                  the conditions to Investor's obligations set forth in this
                  Section 2.3.4 are satisfied as of such Closing, and the
                  Company shall deliver a certificate, signed by an officer of
                  the Company, to such effect to the Investor;

            (d)   the Company shall have reserved for issuance a sufficient
                  number of Common Shares for the purpose of enabling the
                  Company to satisfy any obligation to issue Common Shares
                  pursuant to any Put and to effect exercise of the Warrants;

                  respect to the Registration Statement; and

            (f)   if the Aggregate Issued Shares after the Closing of the Put
                  would exceed the Cap Amount, the Company shall have obtained

                  such approval is required by the rules of the NASDAQ.

            (g)   the Company shall have no knowledge of any event more likely
                  than not to have the effect of causing any Registration
                  Statement to be suspended or otherwise ineffective (which
                  event is more likely than not to occur within the twenty
                  Business Days following the date on which such Advance Put
                  Notice or Put Notice is deemed delivered).

            (h    ) there is not then in effect any law, rule or regulation
                  prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated
                  hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not
                  have been obtained, nor is there any pending or threatened
                  proceeding or investigation which may have the effect of
                  prohibiting or adversely affecting any of the transactions
                  contemplated by this Agreement.

            (i)   no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling
                  or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or
                  adopted any court or governmental authority of competent
                  jurisdiction that prohibits the transactions contemplated by
                  this Agreement, and no actions, suits or proceedings shall be
                  in progress, pending or threatened by any person (other than

                  Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph (i), no proceeding
                  shall be deemed pending or threatened unless one of the
                  parties has received written or oral notification thereof
                  prior to the applicable Closing Date.

<PAGE>

                  2.3.5 Documents Required to be Delivered on the Put Date as
Conditions to Closing of any Put. The Closing of any Put and Investor's
obligations hereunder shall additionally be conditioned upon the delivery to the
Investor of each of the following (the "Required Put Documents") on or before
the applicable Put Date:

                        (a) a number of Unlegended  Share  Certificates  equal
to the Intended Put Share  Amount,  in  denominations  of not more than 50,000
shares per certificate;

                        (b) the following  documents:  Put Opinion of Counsel,
Officer's Certificate, Put Notice, Registration Opinion, and any report or
disclosure required under Section 2.3.6 or Section 2.5;

                        (c) all  documents,  instruments  and  other  writings
required to be delivered on or before the Put Date pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated
herein.

                  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 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 Shares.
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, following the Investor's
receipt of a validly delivered Put Notice, the Investor shall be required to
purchase (each a "Purchase") from the Company a number of Put Shares equal to
the Put Share Amount, in the manner described below.

                  2.3.8 Mechanics of Put Closing. Each of the Company and the
Investor shall deliver all

<PAGE>

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 (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 two percent (2%) for the first month
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.

      In the event that the Investor has not made full payment for any Put
Shares within five (5) business days of the applicable Payment Due Date, in
addition to any other remedies that the Company may have under this Agreement,
the Warrants shall not be exerciseable until such payment is made.

                  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

<PAGE>

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.

                  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 Warrants. In partial consideration hereof,
following the execution of the Letter of Agreement dated on or about July 12,
2000 between the Company and the Investor, the Company issued and delivered to
Investor or its designated assignees, warrants (the "Commitment Warrants") in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit U, or such other form as agreed upon by the
parties, to purchase 5,490,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Commitment Warrant
shall be immediately exercisable in accordance with its terms, 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

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 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
represents that it does 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.

                  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 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 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.

<PAGE>

      On the last Business Day of each one-year period following the Effective
Date (each such period a "Commitment Evaluation Period"), if the Company has not
Put at least $2,000,000 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 "Annual Non-Usage Fee") equal to the difference of (i) $200,000,
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 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 Annual Non-Usage Fee thereafter.

      Each 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.

securities other than those of the Company. Investor acknowledges that Investor
is able to fend for Investor's self in the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, that Investor 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.

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.

                  3.3.3 Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, Investor agrees that until the Securities are

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:

                        (a)   There   is  then  in   effect   a   registration
statement under the Act and any applicable state securities laws covering such

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.

            4.7 Legends. The certificates representing the Put Shares shall not

of the State of Delaware, USA and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be

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

Company has obtained all consents and approvals required for it to execute,
deliver and perform each agreement referenced in the previous sentence.

of any material provision of any material instrument or material contract to
which it is a party or by which it is bound or of any provision of any federal
or state judgment, writ, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation
applicable to 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 or the Registration Rights Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other agreements entered into in
conjunction with the Offering and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) result in any such violation or be
in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving

any assets of the Company, which would have a material adverse effect on the

this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or (b) violate the Company's

<PAGE>

Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or (c) violate any statute, rule or

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 Common Stock is duly listed or approved for quotation

patents, trademarks, trademark registrations, trade names, copyrights, know-how,
technology and other intellectual property necessary to the conduct of its
business as set forth in Exhibit M. The Company has been granted licenses,
know-how, technology and/or other intellectual property necessary to the conduct

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

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 "20% Approval") and (ii) the increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Share Authorization
Increase Approval") such that at least 25,000,000 shares can be reserved for
this Offering. 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. As soon as practicable after the 20% Approval and
the Share Authorization Increase Approval, the Company agrees to use its best
efforts to reserve 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under this
Agreement.

            5.26 Acknowledgment of Limitations on Put Amounts. The Company

            6.5  Rights of First Refusal.

                  6.5.1 Capital Raising Limitations. During the period from the
date of this Agreement until the date that is thirty (30) days after the

                  6.5.2 Investor's Right of First Refusal. For any private
capital raising transactions of Equity Securities which close after the date

conjunction with this Investment Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver to
Investor, at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such transaction,
written notice describing the proposed transaction, including the terms and
conditions thereof, and providing the Investor and its affiliates an option (the
"Right of First Refusal") 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 Capital Raising Limitations and Rights of
First Refusal. Notwithstanding the above, neither the Capital Raising
Limitations nor the Rights of First Refusal shall 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 Common Stock, or
the transactions set forth on Schedule 6.5.1. The Capital Raising Limitations
and Rights of First Refusal also shall not apply to (a) the issuance of
securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or
other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof, (b) the grant of
additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under
any Company stock option or restricted stock plan for the benefit of the

            6.7 Opinion of Counsel. Investor shall, concurrent with the
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
such form as agreed upon by the parties.

            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 Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 (in which case the Company
shall instruct its counsel to issue prior to such sale the necessary opinions
for legend removal, upon receipt of the necessary documentation from the holder
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, the
Company shall ensure that its shares of Common Stock (including all Warrant
Shares and Put Shares) are 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. The Company will
instruct the Transfer Agent of the Common Stock (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
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.

<PAGE>

            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 Company in
connection with the Offering which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
by Investor.

            6.13 Change in Law or Policy. In the event of a change in law, or
policy of the SEC, as evidenced by a No-Action letter or other written
statements of the SEC or the NASD which causes the Investor to be unable to
perform its obligations hereunder, this Agreement shall be automatically
terminated and no Termination Fee shall be due, provided that notwithstanding
any termination under this section 6.13, the Investor shall retain full
ownership of the Commitment Warrant as partial consideration for its commitment
hereunder.

            6.14. Notice of Certain Events Affecting Registration; Suspension of
Right to Make a Put. The Company shall immediately notify the Investor, but in
no event later than two (2) business days by facsimile and by overnight courier,
upon the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a Registration
Statement or related prospectus in respect of an offering of Registrable
Securities: (i) receipt of any request for additional information by the SEC or
any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or related prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or
any other deferral or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a 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 such Registration Statement or related
prospectus or 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 a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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 material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (v) the declaration by
the SEC of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement; and (vi) the Company's
reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement would be appropriate, and the Company shall promptly make available to
the Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related prospectus. The
Company shall not deliver to the Investor any Put Notice during the continuation
of any of the foregoing events.

is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (b) the amounts specified

                  Investor and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
                  the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators,
                  successors, legal representatives and assigns. If the
                  Securities subscribed for are to be owned by more than one
                  person, the obligations of all such owners under this
                  Agreement shall be joint and several, and the agreements,
                  representations, warranties and acknowledgments herein
                  contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon
                  each such person and his heirs, executors, administrators,
                  successors, legal representatives and assigns.

      9.    Indemnification and Reimbursement.

             (a) 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 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

<PAGE>

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.

                  (b) Reimbursement. If (i) the Investor, other than by reason
of its negligence or willful misconduct, becomes involved in any capacity in any
action, proceeding or investigation brought by any stockholder of the Company,
in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Investor is impleaded in
any such action, proceeding or investigation by any person or entity, or (ii)
the Investor, other than by reason of its negligence or willful misconduct or by
reason of its trading of the Common Stock in a manner that is illegal under
applicable securities laws, becomes involved in any capacity in any action,
proceeding or investigation brought by the SEC against or involving the Company
or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if the Investor is impleaded in
any such action, proceeding or investigation by any person or entity, then in
any such case, the Company will reimburse the Investor for its reasonable legal
and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation )
incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. In addition,
other than with respect to any matter in which the Investor is a named party,
the Company will pay the Investor the charges, as reasonably determined by the
Investor, for the time of any officers or employees of the Investor devoted to
appearing and preparing to appear as witnesses, assisting in preparation for
hearing, trials or pretrial matters, or otherwise with respect to inquiries,
hearing, trials, and other proceedings relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph
shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have,
shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the
Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and
partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the
case may be, of the Investor and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company, the Investor and any such Affiliate and any such
person or entity. The Company also agrees that neither any Investor nor any such
Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall
have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or
in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of
the Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Investor or any inaccuracy in any representation or
warranty of the Investor contained herein or any breach by the Investor of any
of the provisions hereof.

OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR EXERCISED UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL
HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (ii) AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS

AN INVESTMENT IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. HOLDERS MUST
RELY ON THEIR OWN ANALYSIS OF THE INVESTMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF THE RISKS
INVOLVED. SEE THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH UNDER THAT CERTAIN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND HOLDER REFERENCED THEREIN AS EXHIBIT J.

Warrant to Purchase
      "N" shares                                            Warrant Number
     ----                                                                   ----

                       Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
                                      of
                               iVoice.com, Inc.

      THIS CERTIFIES that Swartz Private Equity, LLC or any subsequent holder
hereof ("Holder"), has the right to purchase from iVoice.com, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), up to "N" fully paid and nonassessable shares,
wherein "N" is defined below, of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per
share ("Common Stock"), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price
equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time beginning
on the Date of Issuance (defined below) and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York, New
York time the date that is five (5) years after the Date of Issuance (the
"Exercise Period"); provided, that, with respect to each "Put," as that term is
defined in that certain Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") by and
between the initial Holder and Company, dated on or about August 17, 2000, "N"
shall equal ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
by the Holder in that Put.

      Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
of the Company (this "Warrant") is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held
subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.

      1.    Date of Issuance and Term.

      This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on _____________, ______ ("Date
of Issuance"). The term of this Warrant is five (5) years from the Date of
Issuance.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of
this Warrant shall not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the
extent that, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon
such exercise, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that
the Holder otherwise beneficially owns at the time of such exercise, would equal
or exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, as
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the "4.99%
Limitation"). The 4.99% Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the
applicable Exercise Notice includes a signed representation by the Holder that
the issuance of the shares in such Exercise Notice will not violate the 4.99%
Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require additional
documentation of such satisfaction.

<PAGE>

      2.    Exercise.

      (a) Manner of Exercise. During the Exercise Period, this Warrant may be
exercised as to all or any lesser number of full shares of Common Stock covered
hereby (the "Warrant Shares") upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise
Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Form") duly completed and
executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below) for each
share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised, at the office of
the Company, Attention: Jerry Mahoney, 750 Highway 34, Matawan, NJ 07747;
Telephone: (732) 441-7700, Facsimile: (732) 441-9895, or at such other office or
agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an
advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company and its Transfer Agent by
facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called
the "Exercise of this Warrant").

      (b) Date of Exercise. The "Date of Exercise" of the Warrant shall be
defined as the date that the advance copy of the completed and executed Exercise
Form is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant,
the Exercise Form and the Exercise Price (if applicable) are received by the
Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise
shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the
Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile. The Company shall
not be required to deliver the shares of Common Stock to the Holder until the
requirements of Section 2(a) above are satisfied.

      (c) Delivery of Shares of Common Stock Upon Exercise. Upon any exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver, or
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver, a stock certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant was
exercised, within three (3) trading days of the date that all of the following
have been received by the Company: (i) the original completed and executed
Exercise Form, (ii) the original Warrant and (iii) the Exercise Price (if
applicable)(collectively, the "Receipt Date"). Such stock certificates shall not
contain a legend restricting transfer if a registration statement covering the
resale of such shares of Common Stock is in effect at the time of such exercise
or if such shares of Common Stock may be resold pursuant to an exemption from
registration, including but not limited to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933

      (d) Economic Loss Due to Late Delivery of Shares. If the Company fails for
any reason to deliver the requisite number of shares of Common Stock
(unlegended, if so required by the terms of this Warrant)(the "Warrant Shares")
to a Holder upon an exercise of this Warrant within fifteen (15) business days
of the Receipt Date (the "Late Delivery Deadline"), the Company shall pay such
Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to Holder) an amount equal
to ("Non-Delivery Payment"):

            (x) the highest closing price for the Company's Common Stock for any
      trading day during the period beginning on and including the Date of
      Exercise and ending on the earlier of (i) the date that the Investor
      receives from the Company certificates (unlegended, if so required by the
      terms of this Warrant) representing the Warrant Shares of Common Stock
      issuable in conjunction with such Exercise, or (ii) the date that the
      Investor receives the full amount of the Non-Delivery Payment, whichever
      is earlier,

            minus

            (y) the Exercise Price per share (which, in the case of a Cashless
      Exercise, shall be deemed to equal zero), or, if the Investor has received
      the Warrant Shares (unlegended, if so required by the terms of this
      Warrant) from the Company prior to the payment of the Non-Delivery
      Payment, the lowest closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the
      five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date that such Warrant
      Shares are delivered to the Holder.

Non-Delivery Payments shall be payable, in cash or cash equivalent, within five
(5) business days of the Late Delivery Deadline.

<PAGE>

      (e) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
sums payable as Non-Delivery Payments shall give rise to liquidated damages and
not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or
damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to
precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and
are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be
incurred by the Investor, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business
parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial
counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.

      (f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise,
Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares
purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not
exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing
terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this
Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.

      (g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of
record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of
the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder
any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

      3.    Payment of Warrant Exercise Price.

      The Exercise Price ("Exercise Price"), shall initially equal $Y per share
("Initial Exercise Price"), where "Y" shall equal 110% of the Market Price for
the applicable Put (as both are defined in the Investment Agreement) or, if the
Date of Exercise is more than six (6) months after the Date of Issuance, the
lesser of (i) the Initial Exercise Price or (ii) the "Lowest Reset Price," as
that term is defined below. The Company shall calculate a "Reset Price" on each
six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance which shall equal the lowest
Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days ending on
such six-month anniversary date of the Date of Issuance. The "Lowest Reset
Price" shall equal the lowest Reset Price determined on any six-month
anniversary date of the Date of Issuance preceding the Date of Exercise, taking
into account, as appropriate, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

      For purposes hereof, the term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean the closing
bid price on the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, the National Market System ("NMS"), the
New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, or if no longer traded on
the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, the NMS, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq
Small Cap Market, the "Closing Bid Price" shall equal the closing price on the
principal national securities exchange or the over-the-counter system on which
the Common Stock is so traded and, if not available, the mean of the high and
low prices on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is so traded.

      Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a
combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

      (i)   Cash Exercise: cash, bank or cashiers check or wire transfer; or

      (ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this
Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction under this subsection (ii) if and
only if, on the Date of Exercise, there is not then in effect a current
registration statement that covers the resale of the shares of Common Stock to
be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall
issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following
formula:

                              X = Y (A-B)/A

where:      X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

<PAGE>

      Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being
          exercised.

            A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes
            of this Section 3(ii), the "Market Price" shall be defined as the
            average closing price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading
            days prior to the Date of Exercise of this Warrant (the "Average
            Closing Price"), as reported by the O.T.C. Bulletin Board, National
            Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
            ("Nasdaq") Small Cap Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on
            the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the Average Closing Price in any other
            over-the-counter market; provided, however, that if the Common Stock
            is listed on a stock exchange, the Market Price shall be the Average
            Closing Price on such exchange for the five (5) trading days prior
            to the date of exercise of the Warrants. If the Common Stock is/was
            not traded during the five (5) trading days prior to the Date of
            Exercise, then the closing price for the last publicly traded day
            shall be deemed to be the closing price for any and all (if
            applicable) days during such five (5) trading day period.

            B = the Exercise Price.

            For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to
have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction
shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.

      4.    Transfer and Registration.

      (a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this
Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole
or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly
completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and,
as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made
shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this
Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to
the portion hereof retained.

      (b) Registrable Securities. The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant constitutes "Registrable Securities" under that certain
Registration Rights Agreement dated on or about August 17, 2000 between the
Company and certain investors and, accordingly, has the benefit of the
registration rights pursuant to that agreement.

      5.    Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

      (a) Stock Dividend. If the Company shall at any time declare a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock, then Holder, upon Exercise of this Warrant
after the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend, shall be entitled to receive upon Exercise of this
Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which this
Warrant is exercised, such additional shares of Common Stock as such Holder
would have received had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such
record date and the Exercise Price will be proportionately adjusted.

      (b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time
effect a recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such
character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become
exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective
date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be
entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization,
reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the
case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in
the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The
Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock
of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).

<PAGE>

      (c) Distributions. If the Company shall at any time distribute for no
consideration to holders of Common Stock cash, evidences of indebtedness or
other securities or assets (other than cash dividends or distributions payable
out of earned surplus or net profits for the current or preceding years) then,
in any such case, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon Exercise of this
Warrant, with respect to each share of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise,
the amount of cash or evidences of indebtedness or other securities or assets
which Holder would have been entitled to receive with respect to each such share
of Common Stock as a result of the happening of such event had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the record date or other date fixing shareholders
to be affected by such event (the "Determination Date") or, in lieu thereof, if
the Board of Directors of the Company should so determine at the time of such
distribution, a reduced Exercise Price determined by multiplying the Exercise
Price on the Determination Date by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
result of such Exercise Price reduced by the value of such distribution
applicable to one share of Common Stock (such value to be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion) and the denominator of
which is such Exercise Price.

      (d) Notice of Consolidation or Merger. The Company shall not, at any time
after the date hereof, effect a merger, consolidation, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which
shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of
shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities or other
assets of the Company or another entity or there is a sale of all or
substantially all the Company's assets (a "Corporate Change"), unless the
resulting successor or acquiring entity (the "Resulting Entity") assumes by
written instrument the Company's obligations under this Warrant, including but
not limited to the Exercise Price reset provisions as provided herein during the
term of the resultant warrants, and agrees in such written instrument that this
Warrant shall be exerciseable into such class and type of securities or other
assets of the Resulting Entity as Holder would have received had Holder
exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Corporate Change, and the
Exercise Price of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased (if this
Warrant shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a warrant to purchase a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock of the Resulting Entity) or shall be
proportionately decreased (if this Warrant shall be changed or become
exchangeable for a warrant to purchase a larger number of shares of Common Stock
of the Resulting Entity); provided, however, that Company may not affect any
Corporate Change unless it first shall have given thirty (30) days notice to
Holder hereof of any Corporate Change.

      (e) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term "Exercise
Price" shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3 of this
Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in subsection (a), (b), (c) or
(d) of this Section 5, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from
time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. No such
adjustment under this Section 5 shall be made unless such adjustment would
change the Exercise Price at the time by $0.01 or more; provided, however, that
all adjustments not so made shall be deferred and made when the aggregate
thereof would change the Exercise Price at the time by $0.01 or more. No
adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net
effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and
distribution adjusted price of the Common Stock. The number of shares of Common
Stock subject hereto shall increase proportionately with each decrease in the
Exercise Price.

      (f) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event
that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5,
Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares
and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

      6.    Fractional Interests.

            No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall
be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant,
Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on
Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of
Common

<PAGE>

Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional
share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise shall be the next higher number of shares.

      7.    Reservation of Shares.

            The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted
therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of
this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees
that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.

      8.    Restrictions on Transfer.

            (a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued
in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Act by virtue
of Regulation D and exempt from state registration under applicable state laws.
The Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant may
not be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective
registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the
Act and applicable state laws.

            (b) Assignment. If Holder can provide the Company with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that the conditions of (a) above regarding registration or
exemption have been satisfied, Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a
written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached
hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall
be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each
assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within ten (10) days, and
shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares.

      9.    Benefits of this Warrant.

            Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person
other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Company and Holder.

      10.   Applicable Law.

            This Warrant is issued under and shall for all purposes be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, without
giving effect to conflict of law provisions thereof.

      11.   Loss of Warrant.

            Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or
destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

      12.   Notice or Demands.

Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or
on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until
another address is designated in writing by the Company, to the address set
forth in Section 2(a) above. Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be
given or made by the Company to or on Holder shall be sufficiently given or made
if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, and addressed, to the address of Holder set forth in the Company's
records, until another address is designated in writing by Holder.

Stock, that are: (i) issuable or issued to the Investor pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, and (ii) issuable or issued upon exercise of the Warrants;

                  (a) any Common Stock which would otherwise be deemed to be
Registrable Securities, if and

<PAGE>

to the extent that those shares of Common Stock may be resold in a public
transaction without volume limitations or other material restrictions without
registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and

                  (b) any shares of Common Stock which have been sold in a
private transaction in which the transferor's rights under this Agreement are
not assigned.

            2.2 Filing of Initial Registration Statement. The Company shall, by
the Filing Deadline, file a registration statement ("Registration Statement") on
Form SB-2 (or other suitable form, at the Company's discretion, but subject to
the reasonable approval of Investor), covering the resale of a number of shares
of Common Stock as Registrable Securities equal to at least Twenty Five Million
(25,000,000) shares of Common Stock and shall cover, to the extent allowed by
applicable law, such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock
that may be issued or become issuable as Registrable Securities by the Company
pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act. In the event that the Company has
not filed the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline, then the Company
shall pay to Investor an amount equal to $500, in cash, for each Business Day
after the Filing Deadline until such Registration Statement is filed, payable
within ten (10) Business Days following the end of each calendar month in which
such payments accrue.

            2.3 Registration Effective Date. The Company shall use its best
efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC (the
date of such effectiveness is referred to herein as the "Effective Date") by the
Due Date.

            2.4 Shelf Registration. The Registration Statement shall be prepared
as a "shelf" registration statement under Rule 415, and shall be maintained
effective until all Registrable Securities are resold pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

            2.5 Supplemental Registration Statement. Anytime the Registration
Statement does not cover a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to cover
all outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall promptly prepare and
file with the SEC such Supplemental Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all such Registrable Securities and shall use its best efforts to cause such
Supplemental Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as
possible.

      3.    Obligations   of  the  Company.   Whenever   required  under  this
Agreement  to effect  the  registration  of any  Registrable  Securities,  the
Company shall, as expeditiously and reasonably possible:

            (a) Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and
use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
and to remain effective until all Registrable Securities are resold pursuant to
such Registration Statement, notwithstanding any Termination or Automatic
Termination (as each is defined in the Investment Agreement) of the Investment
Agreement.

            (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
Registration Statement ("Amended Registration Statement") or prepare and file
any additional registration statement ("Additional Registration Statement,"
together with the Amended Registration Statement, "Supplemental Registration
Statements") as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Supplemental Registration Statements or such prior registration statement and to
cover the resale of all Registrable Securities.

            (c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus (if applicable), in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.

            (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such Registration Statement under such other

<PAGE>

securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Holders are
located, of such other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and
of all other jurisdictions where legally required, provided that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such states or jurisdictions.

            (e)   [Intentionally Omitted].

            (f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event,
notify each Holder of Registrable Securities of the happening of any event of
which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, use its best efforts promptly to prepare a
supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue
statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or
amendment to each Holder as such Holder may reasonably request.

            (g) Provide Holders with notice of the date that a Registration
Statement or any Supplemental Registration Statement registering the resale of
the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, and the date or
dates when the Registration Statement is no longer effective.

            (h) Provide Holders and their representatives the opportunity and a
reasonable amount of time, based upon reasonable notice delivered by the
Company, to conduct a reasonable due diligence inquiry of Company's pertinent
financial and other records and make available its officers and directors for
questions regarding such information as it relates to information contained in
the Registration Statement.

            (i) Provide Holders and their representatives the opportunity to
review the Registration Statement and all amendments or supplements thereto
prior to their filing with the SEC by giving the Holder at least five (5) days
advance written notice prior to such filing.

            (j) Provide each Holder with prompt notice of the issuance by the
SEC or any state securities commission or agency of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent
the issuance of any stop order and, if any is issued, to obtain the removal
thereof at the earliest possible date.

            (k) Use its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement with all securities exchanges or markets on which
the Common Stock is then listed and prepare and file any required filing with
the NASD, American Stock Exchange, NYSE and any other exchange or market on
which the Common Stock is listed.

      4.    Ineffective Period.

            (a) Ineffective Period Payment. Within five (5) Business Days of the
last day of any Ineffective Period, the Company will pay to the Investor in cash
or cash equivalent ("Ineffective Period Payments"), as liquidated damages for
such suspension and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock held by the Investor on the trading day that the Ineffective Period
commences, multiplied by the difference of

                        (i) the highest closing price of the Company's  Common
            Stock for any trading day during the Ineffective Period,

                        minus

                        (ii) the lowest closing price of the Company's Common
            Stock for the five (5) trading days including and immediately
            following the last trading day of such Ineffective Period.

<PAGE>

            (b) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the sums payable as Ineffective Period Payments shall give rise to
liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i)
the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable
or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a
reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the
probable loss likely to be incurred by the Investor, and (iii) the parties are
sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and
able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.

      5. Piggyback Registration. If anytime prior to the date that the
Registration Statement is declared effective or during any Ineffective Period
(as defined in the Investment Agreement) the Company proposes to register
(including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for
shareholders other than the Holders) any of its Common Stock under the
Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely
for cash (other than a registration relating solely for the sale of securities
to participants in a Company stock plan or a registration on Form S-4
promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor or similar form
registering stock issuable upon a reclassification, upon a business combination
involving an exchange of securities or upon an exchange offer for securities of
the issuer or another entity), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give
each Holder written notice of such registration (a "Piggyback Registration
Statement"). Upon the written request of each Holder given by fax within ten
(10) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall cause
to be included in such registration statement under the Securities Act all of
the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered
("Piggyback Registration") to the extent such inclusion does not violate the
registration rights of any other security holder of the company granted prior to
the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the
Company from withdrawing or abandoning such registration statement prior to its
effectiveness.

      6. Limitation on Obligations to Register under a Piggyback Registration.
In the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to an underwritten public
offering by the Company, if the managing underwriter determines and advises in
writing that the inclusion in the related Piggyback Registration Statement of
all Registrable Securities proposed to be included would interfere with the
successful marketing of the securities proposed to be registered by the Company,
then the number of such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback
Registration Statement, to the extent any such Registrable Securities may be
included in such Piggyback Registration Statement, shall be allocated among all
Holders who had requested Piggyback Registration pursuant to the terms hereof,
in the proportion that the number of Registrable Securities which each such
Holder seeks to register bears to the total number of Registrable Securities
sought to be included by all Holders. If required by the managing underwriter of
such an underwritten public offering, the Holders shall enter into an agreement
limiting the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback
Registration Statement and the terms, if any, regarding the future sale of such
Registrable Securities.

      7. Dispute as to Registrable Securities. In the event the Company believes
that shares sought to be registered under Section 2 or Section 4 by Holders do
not constitute "Registrable Securities" by virtue of Section 2.1 of this
Agreement, and the status of those shares as Registrable Securities is disputed,
the Company shall provide, at its expense, an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably
acceptable to the Holders of the Securities at issue (and satisfactory to the
Company's transfer agent to permit the sale and transfer), that those securities
may be sold immediately, without volume limitation or other material
restrictions, without registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Rule
144 or similar provisions.

      8. Furnish Information. At the Company's request, each Holder shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding Holder, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
to the extent required to effect the registration of its Registrable Securities
or to determine that registration is not required pursuant to Rule 144 or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act. The Company shall include all
information provided by such Holder pursuant hereto in the Registration
Statement, substantially in the form supplied, except to the extent such
information is not permitted by law.

      9. Expenses. All expenses, other than commissions and fees and expenses of
counsel to the selling Holders, incurred in connection with registrations,
filings or qualifications pursuant hereto, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.

<PAGE>

      10.   Indemnification.  In the  event  any  Registrable  Securities  are
included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

            (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, partners, legal counsel, and
accountants of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act,
or as deemed by the Securities Exchange Commission, or as indicated in a
registration statement) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls
such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any of the following statements or omissions: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii) the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer or director, underwriter or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, officer, director, underwriter or controlling
person; provided however, that the above shall not relieve the Company from any
other liabilities which it might otherwise have.

            (b) Each Holder of any securities included in such registration
being effected shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and
officers, each underwriter and each other person, if any, who controls (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or such other indemnified party,
against any liability, joint or several, to which any such indemnified party may
become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law,
insofar as such liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is
based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement
under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request
of such Holder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any omission or alleged
omission by such Holder to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration
statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder specifically for use therein. Such Holder shall reimburse
any indemnified party for any legal fees incurred in investigating or defending
any such liability; provided, however, that such Holder's obligations hereunder
shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to such Holder of the
securities sold in any such registration; and provided further, that no Holder
shall be required to indemnify any party against any liability arising from any
untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary
prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for any
liability which arises out of the failure of such party to deliver a prospectus
as required by the Securities Act.

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume, the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and
expenses of one such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 9, but the omission so

<PAGE>

to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 9.

            (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraphs (a)
and/or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and each Holder agree to
contribute to the aggregate claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which the Company and one or more of
the Holders may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company and the Holders in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined
by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to
information provided by the Company or by the Holders. The Company and the
Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were
determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9,
each person who controls a Holder of Registrable Securities within the meaning
of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer,
partner, employee and agent of a Holder shall have the same rights to
contribution as such holder, and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director and
officer of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).

            (e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 9
shall survive the resale, if any, of the Common Stock, the completion of any
offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this
Agreement, and otherwise.

      11. Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the
Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any
other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees
to:

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

            (b) use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act.

      12. Amendments to Registration Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may
be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the written consent of each Holder affected
thereby. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph
shall be binding upon each Holder, each future Holder, and the Company. The
Company will provide the Investor five (5) business days notice prior to filing
any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus and shall give the Investor the opportunity to review and comment
on any such amendment or supplement. Failure of the Investor to comment within
five (5) business days shall not preclude the Company from filing such amendment
or supplement after such notice period has expired.

      13. Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall
be made in writing signed by the party making the same, shall specify the
section under this Agreement pursuant to which it is given, and shall be
addressed if to (i) the Company at: iVoice.com, Inc.; Attn: Jerry Mahoney,
President & CEO; 750 Highway 34, Matawan, NJ 07747; Telephone: (732) 441-7700,
Facsimile: (732) 441-9895 (or at such other location as directed by the Company
in writing) and (ii) the Holders at their respective last address as the party
as shown on the records of the Company. Any notice, except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, shall be made by fax and shall be deemed given at the time of
transmission of the fax.

      14. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the date all
Registrable Securities cease to exist (as that term is defined in Section 2.1
hereof); but without prejudice to (i) the parties' rights and obligations
arising from

<PAGE>

breaches of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination (ii) other
indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

      15. Assignment. No assignment, transfer or delegation, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, of any rights or obligations under this Agreement
by the Company or any Holder, respectively, shall be made without the prior
written consent of the majority in interest of the Holders or the Company,
respectively; provided that the rights of a Holder may be transferred to a
subsequent holder of the Holder's Registrable Securities (provided such
transferee shall provide to the Company, together with or prior to such
transferee's request to have such Registrable Securities included in a
Registration, a writing executed by such transferee agreeing to be bound as a
Holder by the terms of this Agreement), and the Company hereby agrees to file an
amended registration statement including such transferee or a selling security
holder thereunder; and provided further that the Company may transfer its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to a purchaser of all or a substantial
portion of its business if the obligations of the Company under this Agreement
are assumed in connection with such transfer, either by merger or other
operation of law (which may include without limitation a transaction whereby the
Registrable Securities are converted into securities of the successor in
interest) or by specific assumption executed by the transferee.

      16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia applicable to agreements made
in and wholly to be performed in that jurisdiction, except for matters arising
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, which matters shall be construed
and interpreted in accordance with such laws. Any dispute arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity hereof shall
be finally settled by the federal or state courts located in Fulton County,
Georgia.

      17. Execution in Counterparts Permitted. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the
