Advance Notice pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.

         6.  DEPOSIT OF FUNDS.  The Escrow  Agent is hereby  authorized  to
deposit the wire transfer proceeds in the Escrow Account.

between the Company and the Investor with respect to holding or  disposition  of
any portion of the Escrow Funds or the Common Stock or any other  obligations of
Escrow Agent  hereunder,  or if at any time Escrow Agent is unable to determine,
to Escrow Agent's sole  satisfaction,  the proper  disposition of any portion of
the  Escrow  Funds  or  Escrow  Agent's  proper  actions  with  respect  to  its
obligations hereunder, or if the parties have not within thirty (30) days of the
furnishing  by Escrow  Agent of a notice of  resignation  pursuant  to Section 9
hereof,  appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder,  then Escrow Agent
may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:

                  i.   Suspend  the   performance  of  any  of  its  obligations
(including  without  limitation any disbursement  obligations) under this Escrow
Agreement  until  such  dispute or  uncertainty  shall be  resolved  to the sole
satisfaction  of  Escrow  Agent  or  until a  successor  Escrow  Agent  shall be
appointed (as the case may be); provided however, Escrow Agent shall continue to
invest the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 8 hereof; and/or

                  ii.  Petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other
appropriate method) any court of competent  jurisdiction in any venue convenient
to Escrow Agent, for  instructions  with respect to such dispute or uncertainty,
and to the  extent  required  by law,  pay into  such  court,  for  holding  and
disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all funds held by
it in the Escrow Funds,  after deduction and payment to Escrow Agent of all fees
and expenses  (including  court costs and attorneys'  fees) payable to, incurred
by, or expected to be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with performance of
its duties and the  exercise of its rights  hereunder  and (b) all Common  Stock
held by it.

                  iii. Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the Company,  the
Investor,  or any person with respect to any such  suspension of  performance or
disbursement  into  court,  specifically  including  any  liability  or  claimed
liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of
any delay in the  disbursement of funds held in the Escrow Funds or any delay in
with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.

         8.  INVESTMENT  OF ESCROW  FUNDS.  The Escrow  Agent shall  deposit the
Escrow Funds in a non-interest bearing money market account.

         If Escrow Agent has not received a Joint Written  Direction at any time
that an  investment  decision  must be made,  Escrow Agent may retain the Escrow

                                       4



Fund, or such portion thereof,  as to which no Joint Written  Direction has been
received, in a non-interest bearing money market account.

         9.  RESIGNATION  AND REMOVAL OF ESCROW  AGENT.  Escrow Agent may resign
from the  performance of its duties  hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30)
days' prior  written  notice to the  parties or may be removed,  with or without
cause, by the parties,  acting jointly,  by furnishing a Joint Written Direction
to Escrow  Agent,  at any time by the  giving of ten (10)  days'  prior  written
notice  to  Escrow  Agent as  provided  herein  below.  Upon any such  notice of
resignation  or removal,  the  representatives  of the  Investor and the Company
identified  in Sections  13a.(iv) and 13b.(iv),  below,  jointly shall appoint a
successor  Escrow  Agent  hereunder,  which shall be a  commercial  bank,  trust
company or other financial  institution  with a combined  capital and surplus in
excess of  $10,000,000.00.  Upon the acceptance in writing of any appointment of
Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor Escrow Agent,  such successor Escrow Agent
shall  thereupon  succeed  to and become  vested  with all the  rights,  powers,
privileges  and  duties  of the  resigning  or  removed  Escrow  Agent,  and the
resigning  or  removed  Escrow  Agent  shall be  discharged  from its duties and
obligations  under this Escrow  Agreement,  but shall not be discharged from any
liability for actions taken as Escrow Agent hereunder prior to such  succession.
After any  resigning  or removed  Escrow  Agent's  resignation  or removal,  the
provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow  Agent  under this Escrow
Agreement.  The  resigning or removed  Escrow  Agent shall  transmit all records
pertaining  to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all funds held by it in the Escrow
Funds to the successor Escrow Agent,  after making copies of such records as the
resigning  or removed  Escrow  Agent deems  advisable  and after  deduction  and
payment  to the  resigning  or  removed  Escrow  Agent of all fees and  expenses
(including court costs and attorneys' fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected
to be incurred by the resigning or removed  Escrow Agent in connection  with the
performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder.

         10. LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT.

             a.   Escrow  Agent  shall  have no  liability  or  obligation  with
respect to the Escrow  Funds except for Escrow  Agent's  willful  misconduct  or
gross  negligence.   Escrow  Agent's  sole  responsibility   shall  be  for  the
safekeeping, investment, and disbursement of the Escrow Funds in accordance with
the terms of this  Agreement.  Escrow  Agent  shall  have no  implied  duties or
obligations  and shall not be charged  with  knowledge  or notice or any fact or
circumstance not  specifically set forth herein.  Escrow Agent may rely upon any
instrument,  not only as to its due execution,  validity and effectiveness,  but
also as to the truth and accuracy of any information  contained  therein,  which
Escrow Agent shall in good faith  believe to be genuine,  to have been signed or
presented  by the person or parties  purporting  to sign the same and conform to
the provisions of this  Agreement.  In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for
incidental,  indirect,  special,  and consequential or punitive damages.  Escrow
Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding
in  connection  with the Escrow  Funds,  any account in which  Escrow  Funds are
deposited,  this Agreement or the Standby Equity Distribution  Agreement,  or to
appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent
may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question
as to construction of any of the provisions  hereof or of any other agreement or
its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and

                                       5



shall  incur no  liability  and shall be fully  indemnified  from any  liability
whatsoever  in acting in  accordance  with the opinion or  instructions  of such
counsel.  The Company and the Investor jointly and severally shall promptly pay,
upon  demand,  the  reasonable  fees and expenses of any such counsel and Escrow
Agent is hereby  authorized  to pay such fees and  expenses  from  funds held in
escrow.

             b.   The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in its sole discretion,
to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the
Escrow  Funds,  without  determination  by the  Escrow  Agent  of  such  court's
jurisdiction  in the matter.  If any portion of the Escrow  Funds is at any time
attached,  garnished  or  levied  upon  under any  court  order,  or in case the
payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall
be stayed or enjoined by any court order,  or in any case any order  judgment or
decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part
thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole
discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ judgment or decree
which it is advised by legal counsel  selected by it,  binding upon it,  without
the need for appeal or other action;  and if the Escrow Agent  complies with any
such  order,  writ,  judgment  or  decree,  it shall not be liable to any of the
parties  hereto  or to any other  person or entity by reason of such  compliance
even though such order,  writ judgment or decree may be  subsequently  reversed,
modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

         11.  INDEMNIFICATION  OF ESCROW AGENT.  From and at all times after the
date of this Agreement, the parties jointly and severally, shall, to the fullest
extent  permitted by law and to the extent provided  herein,  indemnify and hold
harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee,  attorney, agent and
affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively,  the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") against any
and all actions,  claims (whether or not valid), losses,  damages,  liabilities,
costs  and  expenses  of  any  kind  or  nature  whatsoever  (including  without
limitation  reasonable  attorney's  fees,  costs and  expenses)  incurred  by or
asserted against any of the Indemnified  Parties from and after the date hereof,
whether direct, indirect or consequential,  as a result of or arising from or in
any way relating to any claim,  demand,  suit, action, or proceeding  (including
any inquiry or  investigation) by any person,  including without  limitation the
parties to this Agreement,  whether  threatened or initiated,  asserting a claim
for any legal or  equitable  remedy  against  any  person  under any  statute or
regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws,
or under any common law or  equitable  cause or  otherwise,  arising  from or in
connection with the negotiation,  preparation, execution, performance or failure
of performance of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein, whether
or not any such  Indemnified  Party is a party to any such action or proceeding,
suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that
no  Indemnified  Party  shall  have the right to be  indemnified  hereunder  for
liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no
further  appeal,  to have resulted  solely from the gross  negligence or willful
misconduct  of such  Indemnified  Party.  If any such  action or claim  shall be
brought or asserted against any Indemnified  Party, such Indemnified Party shall
promptly  notify the  Company and the  Investor  hereunder  in writing,  and the
Investor(s)  and the Company  shall assume the defense  thereof,  including  the
employment of counsel and the payment of all expenses.  Such  Indemnified  Party
shall, in its sole  discretion,  have the right to employ separate  counsel (who
may be selected by such  Indemnified  Party in its sole  discretion) in any such
action and to participate in the defense  thereof,  and the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified  Party,  except that the Investor
and/or the  Company  shall be  required  to pay such fees and expense if (a) the
Investor or the Company agree to pay such fees and expenses, or (b) the Investor

                                       6



and/or the Company shall fail to assume the defense of such action or proceeding
or shall fail,  in the sole  discretion  of such  Indemnified  Party,  to employ
counsel  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or
proceeding,  (c) the  Investor  and the  Company are the  plaintiff  in any such
action or proceeding or (d) the named or potential parties to any such action or
proceeding   (including  any  potentially   impleaded   parties)   include  both
Indemnified  Party the Company and/or the Investor and  Indemnified  Party shall
have been  advised  by  counsel  that  there may be one or more  legal  defenses
available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
Company or the  Investor.  The  Investor  and the  Company  shall be jointly and
severally  liable to pay fees and expenses of counsel  pursuant to the preceding
sentence, except that any obligation to pay under clause (a) shall apply only to
the party so agreeing.  All such fees and expenses payable by the Company and/or
the Investor pursuant to the foregoing  sentence shall be paid from time to time
as incurred,  both in advance of and after the final  disposition of such action
or claim.  The  obligations  of the parties under this section shall survive any
termination of this  Agreement,  and  resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent
shall be independent of any obligation of Escrow Agent.
