CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF
                      SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
                                       OF
                          PENTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                              a Florida corporation

         The undersigned, Claude Bertrin and Stephen A. Weiss, certify that:

1. They are the duly acting Executive Vice President and an Assistant Secretary,
respectively, of PENTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a corporation organized and
existing under the Corporation Code of the State of Florida (the "CORPORATION").

2. Pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation, and pursuant to the provisions of Section
607.0602 of the Florida Statutes, said Board of Directors, pursuant to a meeting
held March 18, 2004, adopted a resolution establishing the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions of, and the number of shares comprising, the
Corporation's Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is as
follows:

         RESOLVED, that a series of Preferred Stock in the Corporation, having
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, and the number of shares
constituting such series and the designation of such series, set forth below be,
and it hereby is, authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
pursuant to authority given by the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.

         NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby
fixes and determines the Determinations of, the number of shares constituting,
and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to, a new
series of Preferred Stock as follows:

         (a) DETERMINATION. The series of Preferred Stock is hereby designated
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK").

         (b) AUTHORIZED SHARES. The number of authorized shares constituting the
Series D Preferred Stock shall be four million (4,000,0000 shares of such
series.

         (c) DIVIDENDS. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of
stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holder of
the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally
available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the
Board of Directors.

         (d) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

             (i) PREFERENCE UPON LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. In the
event of any dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, holders of each outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to shareholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or
earnings, an amount equal to $1.00 (the "SERIES D PURCHASE PRICE") per share

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

of Series D Preferred Stock held (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends or recapitalizations of the Series D Preferred Stock) and any declared
but unpaid dividends on such share, (A) after all payments shall be made to the
holders of any outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock, $0.0025 par value
per share and $10.00 liquidation value per share (the "SERIES C PREFERRED
STOCK), (B) pari passu and contemporaneous with any payments that are required
to be made to the holders of any outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock,
$0.0025 par value per share and $1,000.00 liquidation value per share (the
"SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK) and Series B preferred stock, $0.0025 par value per
share and $1,000.00 liquidation value per share (the "SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK),
and (C) before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, or
any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series D Preferred
Stock with regard to any distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation in accordance with clause (v) of this paragraph
(d). The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share
ratably, in accordance with the respective preferential amounts payable on such
stock, in any distribution which is not sufficient to pay in full the aggregate
of the amounts payable thereon. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, after priority payments made in respect of the Series C
Preferred Stock and partial pari passu payments made in respect of the Series A
Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock, the remaining assets to be
distributed to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient
to permit payment to such holders of the Series D Preferred Stock of the full
preferential amounts aforesaid, then all of the remaining assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed to
the holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, on a pro-rata basis. Each holder
of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive that portion of the
assets available for distribution as the number of outstanding shares of Series
D Preferred Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock. Such payment shall constitute payment in full to the
holders of the Series D Preferred Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation. After such payment shall have been made in full,
or funds necessary for such payment shall have been set aside by the Corporation
in trust for the account of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, so as to be
available for such payment, such holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to no further participation in the distribution of the assets of the
Corporation.

             (ii) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS. A
consolidation or merger of the Corporation (except into or with a subsidiary
corporation or a corporation otherwise affiliated with The Vector Molina
Investment Trust or any other affiliate of Dr. Luis Enrique Molina G.) or a
sale, lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any reclassification of
the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from no par to
par, or from par to no par or as the result of an event described in subsections
(iv) through (vii) of paragraph (f)), shall be regarded as a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning
of this paragraph (d). In no event shall the issuance of new classes of stock,
whether senior, junior or on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, be
deemed a "reclassification" under or otherwise limited by the terms hereof.

             (iii) DISTRIBUTION OF CASH AND OTHER ASSETS. In the event of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation resulting in the
availability of assets other than cash for distribution to the holders of the
Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series D

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a distribution of cash and/or assets equal
to the value of the liquidation preference stated in subsection (i) of this
paragraph (d), which valuation shall be made solely by the Board of Directors,
and provided that such Board of Directors was acting in good faith, shall be
conclusive.

             (iv) DISTRIBUTION TO JUNIOR SECURITY HOLDERS. After the payment or
distribution to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock of the full
preferential amounts aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock then
outstanding, or any other stock of the Corporation ranking as to assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation junior to the Series D
Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive ratably all of the remaining
assets of the Corporation.

             (v) PREFERENCE; PRIORITY. References to a stock that is "SENIOR"
to, on a "PARITY" with or "JUNIOR" to other stock as to liquidation shall refer,
respectively, to rights of priority of one series or class of stock over another
in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation. The Series D Preferred Stock shall be senior to the Common
Stock of the Corporation, senior to any subsequent series of Preferred Stock
issued by the Corporation, junior to the Corporation's Series C Preferred Stock
and pari passu with the Corporation's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued subsequent to the date hereof.

         (e) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise required by law, the holder of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote on matters
that come before the shareholders.

         (f) CONVERSION RIGHTS. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock will
have the following conversion rights:

             (i) RIGHT TO CONVERT. Subject to and in compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph (f), any issued and outstanding shares of Series D
Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time or
from time to time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at
the conversion rate in effect at the time of conversion, determined as provided
herein; PROVIDED, that a holder of Series D Preferred Stock may at any given
time convert only up to that number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock so
that, upon conversion, the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Corporation's
Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of such holder and all persons affiliated with such holder
is not more than 9.99% of the Corporation's Common Stock then outstanding.

             (ii) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series D
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common
Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the
Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office
that he elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares
of Series D Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall
promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series D Preferred
Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which he shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the
shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons
entitled to receive

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date.

             (iii) CONVERSION PRICE. The number of shares of Common Stock into
which one share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be
determined by dividing the Series D Purchase Price by the then existing
Conversion Price, as defined below. The "CONVERSION PRICE" shall equal $0.11,
subject to adjustment as set forth below in this paragraph (f).

             (iv) ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the
Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time after the date shares of the
Series D Preferred Stock are first issued (the "ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE"), effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if
the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then
in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.
Any adjustment under this paragraph (f)(iv) shall become effective at the close
of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

             (v) ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In the
event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion
Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in
the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business
on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:

                 (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares
         of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
         such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

                 (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
         shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
         time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus
         the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such
         dividend or distribution; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if such record date shall
         have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such
         distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the
         Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
         business on such record date and thereafter, the Conversion Price shall
         be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (f)(v) as of the time of actual
         payment of such dividends or distributions.

             (iv) ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. In the
event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders
of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in
each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of such Series D
Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number
of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the
Corporation that

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

they would have received had their Series D Preferred Stock been converted into
Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period
from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such
securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period giving application
to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph (f) with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock.

             (vii) ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE FOR CERTAIN DILUTING ISSUES.

                 (A) SPECIAL DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this paragraph
         (f)(vii), the following definitions apply:

                                (i) "OPTIONS" shall mean rights, options, or
             warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either
             Common Stock or Convertible Securities (defined below).

                                (ii) "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean any
             evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock and
             Series D Preferred Stock) or other securities convertible into or
             exchangeable for Common Stock.

                                (iii) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall
             mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to paragraph
             (f)(vii)(C), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the
             Original Issue Date; provided, that "Additional Shares of Common
             Stock" shall NOT mean or include any shares of Common Stock issued
             or issuable:

                                       1. upon conversion of shares of Series D
                                Preferred Stock;

                                       2. to officers, directors or employees
                                of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant
                                to stock option or stock purchase plans or
                                agreements on terms approved by the Board of
                                Directors, but not exceeding, at any one time,
                                more than five (5%) percent of the fully-diluted
                                shares of Common Stock then issued and
                                outstanding (net of any repurchases of such
                                shares), subject to adjustment for all
                                subdivisions and combinations;

                                       3. in connection with any acquisition,
                                joint venture or similar combination, as full or
                                partial consideration for the assets, securities
                                or properties of any other person, firm or
                                corporation, whether by purchase, exchange,
                                merger, consolidation or like combination;

                                       4. as a dividend or distribution on
                                Series D Preferred Stock; or

                                       5. for which adjustment of the Conversion
                                Price is made pursuant to paragraphs
                                (f)(iv)-(vi).

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                 (B) NO ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE. Any provision herein to
         the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price
         shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common
         Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to
         paragraph (f)(vii)(E) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock
         issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the
         Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to
         such issue.

                 (C) DEEMED ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the
         event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
         Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities
         or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any
         class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or
         Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth
         in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions
         contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock
         issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of
         Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange
         of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares
         of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a
         record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such
         record date, provided further that in any such case in which Additional
         Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

                                (i) no further adjustments in the Conversion
             Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible
             Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such
             Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

                                (ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities
             by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for
             any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or
             decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the
             exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price
             computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of
             a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments
             based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming
             effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease
             insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or
             exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that
             no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall effect Common
             Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred
             Stock);

                                (iii) Upon the expiration of any such Options or
             rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange,
             or the expiration of any rights related to such Convertible
             Securities, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected
             by or computed using such Options or Convertible Securities (unless
             such Options or Convertible Securities were merely deemed to be
             included in the numerator and denominator for purposes of
             determining the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for
             purposes of (f)(vii)(D)), shall be recomputed to reflect the
             issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and
             Convertible Securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon
             the exercise of such Options or rights related to such Convertible
             Securities.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

                                (iv) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or
             (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion
             Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion
             Price on the original adjustment date, or (b) the Conversion Price
             that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of
             Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such
             readjustment date.

                 (D) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL
             SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event this Corporation, at any time
             after the Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of
             Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to
             be issued pursuant to (f)(vii)(C)) without consideration or for a
             consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on
             the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such
             event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with
             such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined
             by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of
             which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
             immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common
             Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation
             for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued
             would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
             to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number
             of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
             issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
             issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of
             shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
             shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all shares of
             Series D Preferred Stock and all Convertible Securities had been
             fully converted into shares of Common Stock and any outstanding
             warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares of
             stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised (and the
             resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock,
             if so convertible) as of such date.

                 (E) DETERMINATION OF CONSIDERATION. For purposes of this
             paragraph (f)(vii), the consideration received by the Corporation
             for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be
             computed as follows:

                                (i) CASH AND PROPERTY: Such consideration shall:

                                       1. insofar as it consists of cash, be
                                computed at the aggregate amount of cash
                                received by the Corporation excluding amounts
                                paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued
                                dividends;

                                       2. insofar as it consists of property

             consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional
             Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to

             shall be determined by dividing

                                       1. the total amount, if any, received or
                                receivable by the Corporation as consideration
                                for the issue of such Options or Convertible
                                Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
                                additional consideration (as set forth in the
                                instruments relating thereto, without regard to
                                any provision contained therein designed to
                                protect against dilution) payable to the
                                Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or
                                the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
                                Securities, or in the case of Options for
                                Convertible Securities, the exercise of such
                                Options for Convertible Securities and the
                                conversion or exchange of such Convertible
                                Securities by

                                       2. the maximum number of shares of Common
                                Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating
                                thereto, without regard to any provision
                                contained therein designed to protect against
                                the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such
                                Options or conversion or exchange of such
                                Convertible Securities.

             (viii) ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. If
the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock
shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or
classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend
provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets
provided for elsewhere in this paragraph (f)), then and in each such event the
holder of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter
to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or
other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
shares of Series D Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior
to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further
adjustment as provided herein.

             (ix) REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF ASSETS. If
at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the
Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or
exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this paragraph (f)) or a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or the sale
of all or substantially all of the Corporation's properties and assets to any
other

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale,
provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock
shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series D
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
of the Corporation or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or
consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the application of the provisions of this paragraph (f) with respect to the
rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock after the reorganization,
merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this paragraph
(f) (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number
of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

             (x) CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. In each case of an adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price or the securities issuable upon conversion
of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance herewith and the Corporation's Chief Financial
Officer shall prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and shall mail such certificate by first class mail, postage
prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series D Preferred Stock at the
holder's address as shown in the Corporation's books. The certificate shall set
forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which
such adjustment or readjustment is based.

             (xi) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of (A) any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class or series of securities for
the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution or (B) any reclassification or recapitalization
of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the
Corporation or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation to any other corporation, entity or person, or any voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the
Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock at least 10
days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (1) the
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or
distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (2) the date on
which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective
and (3) the time, if any is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of
Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares,
of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

             (xii) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall
be issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. In lieu of any
fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the
Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by
the fair market value of one share of the Corporation's Common Stock on the date
of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

             (xiii) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purpose.

             (xiv) NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this
paragraph (f) to be given to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock
shall be deemed given (A) if deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, or (B) if given by any other reliable or generally accepted means
(including by facsimile or by a nationally recognized overnight courier
service), in each case addressed to each holder of record at his address (or
facsimile number) appearing on the books of the Corporation.

             (xv) PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Corporation will pay all transfer taxes
and other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock.

             (xvi) NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation shall not amend
its Articles of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, without the approval of a majority of the then
outstanding Series D Preferred Stock.

         (g) NO REISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. Any shares of Series D Preferred
Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise
shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares of Series D Preferred
Stock that the Corporation shall be authorized to issue. All such shares shall
upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock
and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the
conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation or in any certificate of Determination creating a series of
Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

         (h) SEVERABILITY. If any right, preference or limitation of the Series
D Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being
enforced by reason of any rule, law or public policy, all other rights,
preferences and limitations set forth herein that can be given effect without
the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or
limitation herein shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right,
preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

3. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation is
20,000,000, and the number of shares of Series D Stock, none of which has been
issued, is 4,000,000.

affiliates,  nor any  person  acting on its or their  behalf,  has  directly  or
indirectly  made any offers or sales of any security or solicited  any offers to
buy any  security  under  circumstances  that would  cause the  offering  of the
Securities  pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated  with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the  Securities  Act which would prevent the Company
from selling the Securities  pursuant to Rule 506 under the  Securities  Act, or
any applicable  exchange-related  stockholder approval provisions,  nor will the
Company or any of its affiliates or  subsidiaries  take any action or steps that
would  cause  the  offering  of  the  Securities  to be  integrated  with  other
offerings.

registration  is available,  except as required by state and federal  securities
laws.

      5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER.

         The Purchaser hereby  represents and warrants to the Company as follows
(such   representations   and   warranties   do  not  lessen  or   obviate   the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement):

         5.1 NO SHORTING.  Neither the Purchaser nor any of its  affiliates  and
investment  partners  will or will  cause any  person  or  entity,  directly  or
indirectly,  to engage in "short  sales" of the  Company's  Common  Stock or any
"hedging"  transactions  involving  such  Common  Stock  for as long as the Note
remains  outstanding.

         5.2 REQUISITE  POWER AND AUTHORITY.  Purchaser has all necessary  power
and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this
Agreement  and the Related  Agreements  and to carry out their  provisions.  All
corporate  action on  Purchaser's  part  required for the lawful  execution  and
delivery  of this  Agreement  and the  Related  Agreements  have been or will be
effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon their execution and delivery,  this
Agreement and the Related  Agreements  will be valid and binding  obligations of
Purchaser,  enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium or other laws of
general  application  affecting  enforcement  of creditors'  rights,  and (b) as
limited by general  principles  of equity  that  restrict  the  availability  of
equitable and legal remedies.

         5.3  INVESTMENT   REPRESENTATIONS.   Purchaser   understands  that  the
Securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration
contained in the Securities Act based in part upon  Purchaser's  representations
contained in the Agreement, including, without limitation, that the Purchaser is
an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES  ACT"). The Purchaser  confirms that it
has  received  or has had  full  access  to all  the  information  it  considers
necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to
the Note and the Warrant to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the Note
Shares and the Warrant Shares acquired by it upon the conversion of the Note and
the exercise of the Warrant,  respectively.  The Purchaser further confirms that
it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive  answers from the Company
regarding the Company's business, management and financial affairs and the terms
and conditions of the Offering,  the Note, the Warrant and the Securities and to
obtain  additional  information  (to  the  extent  the  Company  possessed  such
information  or  could  acquire  it  without  unreasonable  effort  or  expense)
necessary to verify any  information  furnished to the Purchaser or to which the
Purchaser had access.

         5.4 PURCHASER BEARS ECONOMIC RISK. Purchaser has substantial experience
in evaluating and investing in private  placement  transactions of securities in
companies  similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its  investment  in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
own interests.  Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this  investment  until
the  Securities  are sold  pursuant to (i) an effective  registration  statement
under the Securities  Act, or (ii) an exemption from  registration  is available
with respect to such sale.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         5.5  ACQUISITION  FOR OWN ACCOUNT.  Purchaser is acquiring the Note and
Warrant and the Note Shares and the Warrant Shares for  Purchaser's  own account
for  investment  only, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view towards

      6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company covenants and agrees with the Purchaser as follows:

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

         6.2  LISTING.  The  Company  shall  promptly  secure the listing of the
shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the  Note and upon the
exercise of the Warrant on the OTC BB (the "PRINCIPAL MARKET") upon which shares
of Common Stock are listed  (subject to official  notice of issuance)  and shall
maintain  such  listing so long as any other  shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed.  The  Company  will  maintain  the  listing of its  Common  Stock on the
Principal  Market,  and will comply in all material  respects with the Company's
reporting,  filing  and  other  obligations  under  the  bylaws  or rules of the
National  Association  of Securities  Dealers  ("NASD") and such  exchanges,  as
applicable.

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

         6.4 REPORTING  REQUIREMENTS.  The Company will timely file with the SEC
all reports  required to be filed  pursuant to the Exchange Act and refrain from
terminating its status as

                                       14
<PAGE>

an issuer  required by the Exchange Act to file reports  thereunder  even if the
Exchange  Act  or  the  rules  or  regulations   thereunder  would  permit  such
termination.

         6.5 USE OF FUNDS.  The Company  agrees that it will use the proceeds of
the sale of the Note and Warrant only to (a) retire indebtedness encumbering the
Real  Property  held by the lenders set forth in SCHEDULE 6.5 and (b) enable the
Company to purchase the Real Property; provided, that if on or after the Closing
Date the Company provides the Holder with a guaranty or other collateral  (other
than cash collateral) acceptable to the Holder and its counsel in their sole and
absolute  discretion,  in an amount significant to cover not less than the first
twelve months of payments of principal  and accrued  interest due under the Note
and taxes and insurance payable in connection with the Real Property, the Holder
shall either not require at the Closing the cash  collateral  referred to in the
Cash Collateral  Deposit  Letter,  or release such cash collateral and terminate
the Cash Collateral Deposit Letter following the Closing Date.

         6.6  ACCESS  TO  FACILITIES.  The  Company  will  permit  and cause the
Guarantors  to permit any  representatives  designated  by the Purchaser (or any
successor of the Purchaser),  upon reasonable  notice and during normal business
hours,  at such person's  expense and  accompanied  by a  representative  of the
Company and/or the  Guarantors,  as applicable,  to (a) visit and inspect any of
the properties of the Company and/or the  Guarantors,  (b) examine the corporate
and  financial  records  of the  Company  and/or  the  Guarantors  (unless  such
examination is not permitted by federal,  state or local law or by contract) and
make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and (c) discuss the affairs,  finances
and accounts of the Company and/or the Guarantors  with the directors,  officers
and independent accountants of the Company and/or the Guarantors, as applicable.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  neither the Company nor any Guarantor  shall be
required to provide any material, non-public information to the Purchaser unless
the Purchaser  signs a  confidentiality  agreement  and otherwise  complies with
Regulation FD, under the federal securities laws.

         6.7 TAXES.  The Company will and will cause the  Guarantors to promptly
pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all
lawful taxes,  assessments and  governmental  charges or levies imposed upon the
income,  profits,  property or business  of the Company and the  Guarantors,  as
applicable;  provided,  however,  that any such tax, assessment,  charge or levy
need not be paid if the validity  thereof  shall  currently be contested in good
faith by  appropriate  proceedings  and if the  Company and the  Guarantors,  as
applicable,  shall have set aside on its books  adequate  reserves  with respect
thereto,  and  provided,  further,  that  the  Company  and the  Guarantors,  as
applicable,  will pay all such taxes,  assessments,  charges or levies forthwith
upon the  commencement  of  proceedings  to  foreclose  any lien  which may have
attached as security therefor.

         6.8  INSURANCE.  The Company will and will cause the Guarantors to keep
its and their respective  assets which are of an insurable  character insured by
financially  sound  and  reputable  insurers  against  loss or  damage  by fire,
explosion and other risks  customarily  insured  against by companies in similar
business  similarly  situated as the Company and the Guarantors,  as applicable;
and the Company will and will cause the Guarantors to maintain, with financially
sound and  reputable  insurers,  insurance  against  other hazards and risks and
liability  to persons  and  property  to the extent and in the manner  which the
Company and the Guarantors,  as applicable,  reasonably believe is customary for
companies in similar business similarly situated

                                       15
<PAGE>

as the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and to the extent available on
commercially reasonable terms.

         6.9  INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY.  The  Company  shall and  shall  cause the
Guarantors  to  maintain  in full  force and  effect  its and  their  respective
corporate existences, rights and franchises and all licenses and other rights to
use Intellectual Property owned or possessed by them and reasonably deemed to be
necessary to the conduct of their respective businesses.

         6.10 PROPERTIES. The Company will keep and cause the Guarantors to keep
their  respective  properties  in good  repair,  working  order  and  condition,
reasonable  wear and tear  excepted,  and from time to time make all needful and
proper repairs, renewals, replacements,  additions and improvements thereto; and
the Company will and will cause the  Guarantors to at all times comply with each
provision  of all  leases to which they are a party or under  which they  occupy
property if the breach of such provision could  reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect.

         6.11 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and
will not include in any public announcement,  the name of the Purchaser,  unless
expressly  agreed to by the  Purchaser  or unless and until such  disclosure  is
required by law or  applicable  regulation,  and then only to the extent of such
requirement.

         6.12 REQUIRED  APPROVALS.  For so long as the Note is outstanding,  the
Company, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, shall not and shall
not cause any Guarantor to:

                  (a) directly or indirectly declare or pay any dividends, other
than dividends with respect to its preferred stock;

                  (b) liquidate, dissolve or effect a material reorganization;

                  (c) become subject to (including,  without limitation,  by way
of amendment to or  modification  of) any agreement or  instrument  which by its
terms  would  (under  any  circumstances)  restrict  the  Company's  and/or  any
Guarantor's  right to perform the  provisions  of this  Agreement  or any of the
agreements contemplated thereby; or

                  (d)  materially  alter or change the scope of the  business of
the Company and/or any Guarantor.

         6.13   REISSUANCE  OF   SECURITIES.   The  Company  agrees  to  reissue
certificates  representing  the  Securities  without  the  legends  set forth in
Section 5.7 above at such time as (a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose
of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (b) upon
resale subject to an effective  registration statement after such Securities are
registered  under the  Securities  Act. The Company agrees to cooperate with the
Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k)
and provide legal opinions  necessary to allow such resales provided the Company
and its counsel receive reasonably  requested  representations  from the selling
Purchaser and broker, if any.

                                       16
<PAGE>

         6.14  OPINION.  On the Closing  Date,  the Company  will deliver to the
Purchaser  an  opinion  acceptable  to the  Purchaser  from  the  Company's  and
Guarantors' legal counsel.  The Company will provide,  at the Company's expense,
such other legal  opinions  in the future as are  reasonably  necessary  for the
conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant.

      7. COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER.

         The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:

         7.1  CONFIDENTIALITY.  The Purchaser  agrees that it will not disclose,
and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Company, unless
expressly  agreed to by the  Company  or unless  and until  such  disclosure  is
required by law or  applicable  regulation,  and then only to the extent of such
requirement.

         7.2  NON-PUBLIC  INFORMATION.  The  Purchaser  agrees not to effect any
sales in the  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  while in  possession  of
material,  non-public  information  regarding  the  Company if such sales  would
violate applicable securities law.

         7.3  RIGHT TO  SUBSTITUTE  COLLATERAL.  So long as no Event of  Default
shall have occurred and be continuing  under and as defined in the Note or under
any other  Related  Agreement,  the Purchaser and each Holder of the Notes agree

provided,  that  (a) the then  current  appraised  value  (as  determined  by an

Collateral,  (d) the Purchaser shall have received a deed in lieu of foreclosure
relating to the  Substitute  Collateral in form and substance  acceptable to the

to be pledged to the Purchaser.

      8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.

         8.1 COMPANY  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company  agrees to  indemnify,  hold
harmless,   reimburse  and  defend  Purchaser,  each  of  Purchaser's  officers,
directors,  agents,  affiliates,  control persons,  and principal  shareholders,
against  any  claim,  cost,  expense,  liability,  obligation,  loss  or  damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or

                                       17
<PAGE>

imposed upon the Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation  by Company  and/or any Guarantor or breach of any warranty by
Company  and/or any Guarantor in this  Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules
attached  hereto or any  Related  Agreement,  or (ii) any  breach or  default in
performance by Company and/or any Guarantor of any covenant or undertaking to be
performed by Company  and/or any  Guarantor  hereunder,  or any other  agreement
entered into by the Company and  Purchaser  and/or the Company and any Guarantor
relating hereto.

         8.2 PURCHASER'S  INDEMNIFICATION.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify,  hold
harmless,  reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's  officers,
directors,  agents, affiliates,  control persons and principal shareholders,  at
all times  against any claim,  cost,  expense,  liability,  obligation,  loss or
damage (including  reasonable legal fees) of any nature,  incurred by or imposed
upon  the  Company  which  results,  arises  out of or is  based  upon  (i)  any
misrepresentation  by  Purchaser  or breach of any warranty by Purchaser in this
Agreement  or in any  exhibits  or  schedules  attached  hereto  or any  Related
Agreement;  or (ii) any breach or default in  performance  by  Purchaser  of any
covenant or  undertaking  to be performed by Purchaser  hereunder,  or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.

         8.3  PROCEDURES.  The procedures and  limitations  set forth in Section
10.2(c) and (d) shall apply to the  indemnifications  set forth in Sections  8.1
and 8.2 above.

      9. CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE.

         9.1 MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.

                  (a)  Provided  the  Purchaser  has notified the Company of the
Purchaser's  intention  to sell the Note Shares and the Note Shares are included
in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration
when sold:  (i) Upon the  conversion  of the Note or part  thereof,  the Company
shall,  at its own cost and expense,  take all necessary  action  (including the
issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company's  transfer  agent
shall issue shares of the  Company's  Common Stock in the name of the  Purchaser
(or its  nominee)  or such  other  persons as  designated  by the  Purchaser  in
accordance with Section 9.1(b) hereof and in such  denominations to be specified
representing the number of Note Shares issuable upon such  conversion;  and (ii)
The Company  warrants that no instructions  other than these  instructions  have
been or will be given to the transfer  agent of the  Company's  Common Stock and
that after the Effective  Date (as  hereinafter  defined) the Note Shares issued
will be freely transferable  subject to the prospectus delivery  requirements of
the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement,  and will not contain a
legend  restricting  the  resale  or  transferability  of the Note  Shares.

                  (b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its
right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering
an executed and completed  notice of the number of shares to be converted to the
Company  (the "NOTICE OF  CONVERSION").  The  Purchaser  will not be required to
surrender the Note until the  Purchaser  receives a credit to the account of the
Purchaser's   prime  broker   through  the  DWAC  system  (as  defined   below),
representing  the Note Shares or until the Note has been fully  satisfied.  Each
date on which a Notice of  Conversion  is telecopied or delivered to the Company
in accordance with the

                                       18
<PAGE>

provisions hereof shall be deemed a "CONVERSION  DATE." Pursuant to the terms of
the Notice of Conversion,  the Borrower will issue  instructions to the transfer
agent  accompanied  by an opinion of counsel within two (2) Business Days of the
date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the
transfer agent to transmit the certificates  representing the Conversion  Shares
to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser's  prime broker with the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
("DWAC")  system  within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of
the Notice of Conversion (the "DELIVERY DATE").

                  (c) The Company  understands  that a delay in the  delivery of
the Note Shares in the form  required  pursuant  to Section 9 hereof  beyond the
Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser.  In the event that
the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Note Shares to the
Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section  9.1(b)
above and the Note Shares are not  delivered  to the  Purchaser  by the Delivery
Date, as  compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay
late  payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Note Shares in the form
required  pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon conversion of the Note in the amount
equal to the greater of (i) $500 per  business  day after the  Delivery  Date or
(ii) the Purchaser's actual damages from such delayed delivery.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  the Company will not owe the Purchaser any late payments if the
delay in the delivery of the Note Shares  beyond the Delivery Date is solely out
of the control of the  Company  and the  Company is actively  trying to cure the
cause of the delay.  The  Company  shall pay any  payments  incurred  under this
Section in  immediately  available  funds upon demand and, in the case of actual
damages,  accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages.
Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser
is  forced to  purchase  (in an open  market  transaction)  which the  Purchaser
anticipated  receiving  upon such  conversion,  and shall be  calculated  as the
amount by which (A) the Purchaser's  total purchase price  (including  customary
brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the  shares  of Common  Stock so  purchased
exceeds (B) the aggregate  principal  and/or  interest  amount of the Note,  for
which such Conversion Notice was not timely honored.

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

         9.2 MAXIMUM CONVERSION.  The Purchaser shall not be entitled to convert
on a  Conversion  Date,  nor shall the  Company  be  permitted  to  require  the
Purchaser  to accept,  that amount of a Note in  connection  with that number of
shares of Common  Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser on a Conversion Date,
and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon the  conversion of
the Note with respect to which the  determination  of this proviso is being made
on a  Conversion  Date,  which  would  result  in  beneficial  ownership  by the
Purchaser  of more than 4.99% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the
Company on such Conversion  Date. For the purposes of the immediately  preceding
sentence,  beneficial  ownership  shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3

                                       19
<PAGE>

thereunder.  The Purchaser may void the foregoing conversion  limitation upon 75
days prior  notice to the  Company or without  any notice  requirement  upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default.

      10. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         10.1   REGISTRATION   RIGHTS   GRANTED.   The  Company   hereby  grants
registration rights to the Purchaser pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of even date herewith between the Company and the Purchaser.

         10.2 INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a)  In  the  event  of  a  registration  of  any  Registrable
Securities  under  the  Securities  Act  pursuant  to  the  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser,  and its
officers,  directors and each other  person,  if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities,  joint or  several,  to which the  Purchaser,  or such  persons may
become subject under the  Securities  Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses,
claims,  damages or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact  contained  in any  registration  statement  under  which such  Registrable
Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration
Rights  Agreement,  any  preliminary  prospectus or final  prospectus  contained
therein,  or any amendment or supplement  thereof,  or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged  omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Purchaser,  and each such person for any reasonable legal
or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;  provided,  however, that the
Company  will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent  that any such
loss,  claim,  damage  or  liability  arises  out of or is based  upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity  with  information  furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any
such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.

                  (b)  In  the  event  of  a  registration  of  the  Registrable
Securities  under  the  Securities  Act  pursuant  to  the  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company,  and its
officers,  directors  and each other  person,  if any,  who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities,  joint or several,  to which the Company or such persons may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,  insofar as such losses,  claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue  statement or alleged  untrue  statement  of any  material  fact
contained in the registration  statement under which such Registrable Securities
were  registered  under the Securities Act pursuant to the  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or
any  amendment  or  supplement  thereof,  or arise out of or are based  upon the
omission or alleged  omission to state  therein a material  fact  required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading,  and
will  reimburse  the Company and each such  person for any  reasonable  legal or
other expenses  incurred by them in connection with  investigating  or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,  provided,  however, that the
Purchaser

                                       20
<PAGE>

will be liable in any such case if and only to the  extent  that any such  loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission so made in conformity
with  information  furnished  in writing  to the  Company by or on behalf of the
Purchaser specifically for use in any such document.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified  party  hereunder
of notice of the commencement of any action,  such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof,  but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to such  indemnified  party other than under this Section 10.2(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified  party under
this Section 10.2(c) if and to the extent the  indemnifying  party is prejudiced
by such  omission.  In case  any  such  action  shall  be  brought  against  any
indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof,  the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent it shall wish, to assume and  undertake the defense  thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified  party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such  indemnified  party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof,  the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 10.2(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such  indemnified  party  in  connection  with  the  defense  thereof;   if  the
indemnified party retains its own counsel,  then the indemnified party shall pay
all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel,  provided,  however,  that, if the
defendants  in any such  action  include  both  the  indemnified  party  and the
indemnifying  party and the indemnified  party shall have  reasonably  concluded
that there may be reasonable  defenses  available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the  indemnifying  party or if the interests
of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests
of the indemnifying  party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select
one  separate  counsel  and to assume  such  legal  defenses  and  otherwise  to
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees
of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such  participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

                  (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
the  event of joint  liability  under  the  Securities  Act in any case in which
either (i) the Purchaser,  or any controlling  person of the Purchaser,  makes a
claim for  indemnification  pursuant to this Section  10.2 but it is  judicially
determined  (by the entry of a final  judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction  and the  expiration  of time to appeal  or the  denial of the last
right of appeal)  that such  indemnification  may not be  enforced  in such case
notwithstanding  the fact that this Section 10.2 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution  under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of the Purchaser or  controlling  person of the Purchaser in  circumstances
for which indemnification is provided under this Section 10.2; then, and in each
such case,  the Company  and the  Purchaser  will  contribute  to the  aggregate
losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  to which  they may be subject  (after
contribution   from  others)  in  such  proportion  so  that  the  Purchaser  is
responsible  only for the portion  represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its securities offered by the registration  statement bears to
the  public  offering  price  of all  securities  offered  by such  registration
statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not
be required to contribute  any amount in excess of the public  offering price of
all such securities offered by it pursuant to such registration  statement;  and
(B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation

                                       21
<PAGE>

(within the  meaning of Section 10 of the Act) will be entitled to  contribution
from  any   person  or   entity   who  was  not   guilty   of  such   fraudulent
misrepresentation.

         10.3 OFFERING  RESTRICTIONS.  Except as previously disclosed in the SEC
Reports or in the  Exchange Act Filings,  or stock or stock  options  granted to
employees or directors  of the Company;  or shares of preferred  stock issued to
pay dividends in respect of the  Company's  preferred  stock;  or equity or debt
issued in connection with an acquisition of a business or assets by the Company;
or the issuance by the Company of stock in connection with the  establishment of
a joint venture partnership or licensing arrangement, the Company will not issue
any securities with a continuously  variable/floating  conversion  feature which
are or could be (by conversion or  registration)  free-trading  securities (i.e.
common stock subject to a registration statement) prior to the full repayment or
conversion of the Note.

effective registration statement.  Purchaser may not assign its rights hereunder

transferees.

hereto, the Related Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto

other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
except as specifically set forth herein and therein.

         11.5  SEVERABILITY.  In case any  provision of the  Agreement  shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable,  the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

exercise  any right,  power or remedy  accruing  to any party,  upon any breach,
default or  noncompliance  by another party under this  Agreement or the Related
Agreements,  shall  impair  any such  right,  power or  remedy,  nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach,  default or  noncompliance,  or any
acquiescence  therein, or of or in any similar breach,  default or noncompliance
thereafter occurring. All remedies, either under this Agreement, the Note or the
Related  Agreements,  by law  or  otherwise  afforded  to any  party,  shall  be

<PAGE>

Purchaser may designate by written  notice to the other parties  hereto given in
accordance herewith.

         11.9  ATTORNEYS'  FEES.  In the  event  that  any  suit  or  action  is
instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement,  the prevailing  party in
such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees,  costs
and  expenses  of  enforcing  any right of such  prevailing  party under or with
respect to this Agreement,  including,  without limitation, such reasonable fees
and  expenses  of  attorneys  and  accountants,  which  shall  include,  without
limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

         11.10 TITLES AND SUBTITLES.  The titles of the sections and subsections
of the  Agreement  are  for  convenience  of  reference  only  and are not to be
considered in construing this Agreement.

         11.11  FACSIMILE  SIGNATURES;   COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may  be
executed by  facsimile  signatures  and in any number of  counterparts,  each of
which shall be an  original,  but all of which  together  shall  constitute  one
instrument.

party hereto represents and warrants that no agent,  broker,  investment banker,
person or firm acting on behalf of or under the  authority  of such party hereto
is or will be entitled to any broker's or finder's  fee or any other  commission
directly or indirectly in connection with the transactions  contemplated herein.
Each party hereto  further  agrees to indemnify each other party for any claims,
losses  or   expenses   incurred  by  such  other  party  as  a  result  of  the
representation in this Section 11.12 being untrue.

         11.13  CONSTRUCTION.  Each party  acknowledges  that its legal  counsel
participated  in the  preparation of this  Agreement and the Related  Agreements

interpretation of this Agreement to favor any party against the other.
