immediately  succeeding  Trading Day if it is received by facsimile or otherwise
after  12:00 noon New York time on a Trading Day or at anytime on a day which is
not a Trading Day.

Section  2.3  CLOSINGS.  On or prior  to each  Closing  Date for a Put,  (a) the

pursuant  to this  Agreement  to  purchase  shares of  Common  Stock  shall,  at

not yet  occurred)  in the event  that (a) there  shall  occur any stop order or
suspension of the  effectiveness of any Registration  Statement for an aggregate
of thirty  (30)Trading Days during the Commitment  Period,  for any reason other
than  deferrals or suspension  during a Blackout  Period in accordance  with the
Registration Rights Agreement,  as a result of corporate developments subsequent
to the Subscription  Date that would require such  Registration  Statement to be
amended  to reflect  such event in order to  maintain  its  compliance  with the
disclosure  requirements  of the Securities Act, or (b) the Company shall at any
time fail to comply with the  requirements  of Section 6.3, 6.4, or 6.6 and such

Period  ("OLD BID  PRICE") is greater  than the  Closing  Bid Price on the first
Trading  Day  following  such  Blackout   Period  that  Investor  may  sell  its
Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement ("NEW BID
PRICE"),  then the  Company  shall issue to  Investor  the number of  additional
shares of Registrable Securities (the "BLACKOUT SHARES") equal to the difference
between (i) the product of the number of Put Shares held by Investor immediately
prior to the  Blackout  Period  that  were  issued  on the most  recent  Closing

further acknowledge that (a) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred
is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (b) the amounts specified in
such Sections bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly



disproportionate  to the  probable  loss  likely to be  incurred  by Investor in
connection with a Blackout Period under the Registration  Rights Agreement,  and
(c) each of the Company and Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been  represented  by  sophisticated  and able legal and  financial  counsel and
negotiated this Agreement at arm's length.

of the  Certificate  or Bylaws or (b) conflict  with,  or  constitute a material
default  (or an event that with  notice or lapse of time or both would  become a
material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,

SEC  Documents,  there are no  lawsuits  or  proceedings  pending or to the best
knowledge of the Company  threatened,  against the Company,  nor has the Company

statement for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or related
prospectus;  (b)  the  issuance  by the  SEC  or  any  other  federal  or  state
governmental  authority of any stop order  suspending the  effectiveness  of any
Registration  Statement or the initiation of any  proceedings  for that purpose;



(c)  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;  (d) 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

determination  that a  post-effective  amendment to the  registration  statement
would be appropriate,  and the Company shall promptly make available to Investor
any such  supplement or amendment to the related  prospectus.  The Company shall
not deliver to Investor  any Put Notice  during the  continuation  of any of the

commencement of each calendar quarter  occurring  subsequent to the commencement
of the Commitment  Period,  the Company  undertakes to notify Investor as to its
reasonable  expectations as to the dollar amount it intends to raise during such
calendar quarter, if any, through the issuance of Put Notices. Such notification
shall  constitute  only the Company's  good faith  estimate with respect to such
calendar  quarter and shall in no way  obligate the Company to raise such amount
during  such  calendar  quarter or  otherwise  limit its  ability to deliver Put
Notices during such calendar quarter.  The failure by the Company to comply with
this provision can be cured by the Company's  notifying  Investor at any time as
to its reasonable expectations with respect to the current calendar quarter.

Section 6.10 CONSOLIDATION; MERGER. The Company shall not, at any time after the
date hereof,  effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into, or

this Agreement.

Section  6.11  ISSUANCE OF PUT SHARES AND BLACKOUT  SHARES.  The sale of the Put

Shares may increase substantially in certain circumstances,  including,  but not
necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common
Stock  declines  during the period between the Effective Date and the end of the
Commitment Period.  The Company's  executive officers and directors have studied
and  fully  understand  the  nature  of the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement and recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The board of
directors of the Company has  concluded,  in its good faith  business  judgment,
that  such  issuance  is in the  best  interests  of the  Company.  The  Company
specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Put Shares is binding
upon the Company and  enforceable  regardless  of the dilution such issuance may
have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.



Section  6.14  USE OF  PROCEEDS.  The  Company  will use the  proceeds  received
hereunder  for internal  working  capital  purposes,  and,  unless  specifically
consented to in advance in each instance by the Investor, the Company shall not,

(j) FIVE PERCENT LIMITATION. On each Closing Date, the number of Put Shares then
to be  purchased  by Investor  shall not exceed the number of such shares  that,
when  aggregated  with all other shares of Registrable  Securities then owned by
Investor beneficially or deemed beneficially owned by Investor,  would result in
Investor  owning  more  than  4.99%  of all of such  Common  Stock  as  would be
outstanding on such Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of
the Exchange Act and the  regulations  promulgated  thereunder.  For purposes of
this Section 7.2(j), in the event that the amount of Common Stock outstanding as
determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations
promulgated  thereunder is greater on a Closing Date than on the date upon which
the Put Notice  associated with such Closing Date is given, the amount of Common
Stock  outstanding on such Closing Date shall govern for purposes of determining
whether  Investor,  when aggregating all purchases of Common Stock made pursuant
to this Agreement and Blackout Shares,  if any, would own more than 4.99% of the
Common Stock following such Closing Date.

(k) TWENTY  PERCENT  LIMITATION.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of this
Agreement,  the  maximum  aggregate  number of Put  Shares and  Blackout  Shares
issuable to Investor  under this  Agreement  shall not exceed the number of such
shares that,  when  aggregated  with all other shares of Registrable  Securities
then owned by Investor  beneficially or deemed  beneficially  owned by Investor,
would result in Investor  owning more than 19.99% of all of such Common Stock as
would be  outstanding  immediately  prior to the  execution and delivery of this
Agreement  by both  parties,  unless the  Company  has  obtained  all  necessary
approvals in accordance with the rules and requirements of the Principal Market,
which the  Company  may or may not seek in its  discretion.  Failure  to seek or
obtain  such  approval(s)  will not change any other term or  condition  of this
Agreement.

(l) NO  KNOWLEDGE.  The Company shall have no knowledge of any event more likely
than not to have  the  effect  of  causing  such  Registration  Statement  to be
suspended or otherwise ineffective (which event is more likely than not to occur
within the fifteen  Trading Days  following the Trading Day on which such Notice
is deemed delivered).

(m)  TRADING  CUSHION.   The  Trading  Cushion  shall  have  elapsed  since  the
immediately preceding Put Date



(n) SHAREHOLDER VOTE. The issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect to the
applicable  Closing,  if  any,  shall  not  violate  the  shareholder   approval
requirements of the Principal Market.

(o) NO VALUATION  EVENT.  No Valuation  Event shall have occurred  since the Put
Date.

(p) OTHER. On each Condition Satisfaction Date, Investor shall have received and
been reasonably  satisfied with such other  certificates  and documents as shall
have been reasonably  requested by Investor in order for Investor to confirm the
Company's  satisfaction  of the  conditions  set  forth  in  this  Section  7.2,
including,  without  limitation,  a certificate  in  substantially  the form and
substance of Exhibit D hereto,  executed by an executive  officer of the Company
and to the  effect  that all the  conditions  to such  Closing  shall  have been
satisfied as at the date of each such certificate.

Section 7.3 DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW; NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.

(a) The Company  shall make  available  for  inspection  and review by Investor,
advisors to and  representatives  of Investor  (who may or may not be affiliated
with  Investor  and  who  are  reasonably   acceptable  to  the  Company),   any
Underwriter,  any Registration  Statement or amendment or supplement  thereto or
any blue sky, NASD or other filing,  all  financial and other  records,  all SEC
Documents and other 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 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 such Registration.

(b) Each of the Company, its officers, directors,  employees and agents shall in
no  event  disclose   non-public   information  to  Investor,   advisors  to  or
representatives of Investor.

(c) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public  information
to Investor or its advisors or representatives,  and the Company represents that
it does not  disseminate  non-public  information  to any investors who purchase
stock in the Company in a public  offering,  to money  managers or to securities
analysts;  provided,  however,  that  notwithstanding  anything  herein  to  the
contrary,  the Company shall, as hereinabove  provided,  immediately  notify the
advisors and  representatives  of Investor and any  Underwriters of any event or
the  existence  of any  circumstance(without  any  obligation  to  disclose  the
specific  event  or  circumstance)  of  which  it  becomes  aware,  constituting
non-public  information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally  during  the course of due  diligence  by such  persons or  entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus  included in a 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  7.3 shall be  construed  to mean that such
persons or entities other than Investor (without the written consent of Investor
prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain  non-public  information
in the course of  conducting  due  diligence  in  accordance  with the terms and
conditions of this  Agreement and nothing  herein shall prevent any such persons
or entities  from  notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities,  any Registration  Statement  contains an
untrue  statement  of a material  fact or omits a material  fact  required to be
stated  in such  Registration  Statement  or  necessary  to make the  statements
contained  therein,  in light of the  circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.



                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     LEGENDS

Section  8.1  LEGENDS.   Unless  otherwise   provided  below,  each  certificate
representing   Registrable  Securities  will  bear  the  following  legend  (the
"LEGEND"):

"The securities  represented by this  certificate have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities  Act") or qualified under applicable
state  securities  laws.  These  securities may not be offered,  sold,  pledged,
hypothecated,  transferred  or otherwise  disposed of except  pursuant to (I) an
effective  registration  statement  and  qualification  in effect  with  respect
thereto under the Securities Act and under any applicable  state securities law,
(ii) to the extent  applicable,  Rule 144 under the Securities  Act, or (iii) an
opinion of counsel  reasonably  acceptable to the Company that such registration
and qualification is not required under applicable  federal and state securities
laws."

Section 8.2 NO OTHER LEGEND OR STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. No legend other than
the one  specified  in Section  8.1,  shall be placed on the share  certificates
representing the Common Stock and no instructions or "stop transfers orders," so
called, "stock transfer  restrictions," or other restrictions have been or shall
be given to the  Company's  transfer  agent with respect  thereto  other than as
expressly set forth in this Article VIII.

Section 8.3 COVER. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Put Shares
on such Closing Date and the holder of the Put Shares (a "Investor")  purchases,
in an open  market  transaction  or  otherwise,  shares  of  Common  Stock  (the
"Covering Shares") in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common
Stock by such  Investor  (the  "Sold  Shares"),  which  delivery  such  Investor
anticipated  to make using the Put Shares (a  "Buy-In"),  then the Company shall
pay to such  Investor,  in addition to all other amounts  contemplated  in other
provisions of the  Transaction  Documents,  and not in lieu thereof,  the Buy-In
Adjustment  Amount (as defined  below).  The "Buy-In  Adjustment  Amount" is the
amount equal to the excess,  if any, of (x) such Investor's total purchase price
(including brokerage  commissions,  if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the
net proceeds  (after  brokerage  commissions,  if any) received by such Investor
from the sale of the Sold Shares.  The Company  shall pay the Buy-In  Adjustment
Amount to such Investor in immediately  available funds  immediately upon demand
by such Investor. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing,
if such  Investor  purchases  Covering  Shares  having  a total  purchase  price
(including  brokerage  commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
shares of Common  Stock that it sold for net  proceeds  of  $10,000,  the Buy-In
Adjustment Amount that the Company will be required to pay to such Investor will
be $1,000.

Section 8.4 INVESTOR'S COMPLIANCE.  Nothing in this Article VIII shall affect in
any way Investor's obligations under any agreement to comply with all applicable
securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.

                                   ARTICLE IX

Section 9.2  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Investor and its officers, directors,  employees, and agents, and each Person or
entity,  if any, who controls  Investor  within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act,  together with the Controlling
Persons (as defined in the Registration  Rights  Agreement) from and against any
Damages,  joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which Investor,
its partners,  affiliates,  officers, directors,  employees, and duly authorized
agents,  and any such  Controlling  Person becomes  subject to,  resulting from,
arising  out of or  relating  to any  misrepresentation,  breach of  warranty or
nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of
Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except to the
extent such Damages  result  primarily  from  Investor's  failure to perform any
covenant  or  agreement  contained  in  this  Agreement  or  Investor's  or  its
officer's,  director's,  employee's, agent's or Controlling Person's negligence,
recklessness or bad faith in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

Section  9.3  METHOD  OF  ASSERTING   INDEMNIFICATION  CLAIMS.  All  claims  for
indemnification  by any  Indemnified  Party (as defined below) under Section 9.2
shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand in  respect  of which any  person  claiming
indemnification  under any  provision  of Section 9.2 (an  "INDEMNIFIED  PARTY")
might seek  indemnity  under  Section  9.2 is  asserted  against or sought to be
collected from such  Indemnified  Party by a person other than a party hereto or
an  affiliate  thereof (a "THIRD  PARTY  CLAIM"),  the  Indemnified  Party shall
deliver a written  notification,  enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any,
and  specifying  the nature of and basis for such Third  Party Claim and for the
Indemnified Party's claim for  indemnification  that is being asserted under any
provision of Section 9.2 against any person (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), together
with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable,  the estimated amount,
determined  in good faith,  of such Third Party  Claim (a "CLAIM  NOTICE")  with
reasonable  promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails
to provide the Claim Notice with  reasonable  promptness  after the  Indemnified
Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party shall
not be obligated to indemnify the  Indemnified  Party with respect to such Third
Party Claim to the extent that the  Indemnifying  Party's  ability to defend has
been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party
shall  notify the  Indemnified  Party as soon as  practicable  within the period
ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying  Party of
either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity  Notice (as defined  below) (the  "DISPUTE
PERIOD") whether the Indemnifying  Party disputes its liability or the amount of
its  liability  to the  Indemnified  Party  under  Section  9.2 and  whether the
Indemnifying  Party  desires,  at its  sole  cost and  expense,  to  defend  the
Indemnified  Party against such Third Party  Claim.(i)If the Indemnifying  Party
notifies the Indemnified  Party within the Dispute Period that the  Indemnifying
Party  desires to defend the  Indemnified  Party with respect to the Third Party
Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3(a),  then the  Indemnifying  Party shall have
the right to defend,  with counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Indemnified
Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying  Party, such Third Party
Claim by all appropriate proceedings,  which proceedings shall be vigorously and
diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be
settled at the discretion of the  Indemnifying  Party (but only with the consent
of the  Indemnified  Party in the case of any  settlement  that provides for any
relief  other than the  payment of  monetary  damages or that  provides  for the
payment of  monetary  damages  as to which the  Indemnified  Party  shall not be
indemnified in full pursuant to Section 9.2). The Indemnifying  Party shall have
full  control of such  defense and  proceedings,  including  any  compromise  or
settlement thereof;  provided,  however,  that the Indemnified Party may, at the




sole  cost and  expense  of the  Indemnified  Party,  at any  time  prior to the
Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of
this clause (i),  file any motion,  answer or other  pleadings or take any other
action  that the  Indemnified  Party  reasonably  believes  to be  necessary  or
appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by
the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying  Party,  provide reasonable  cooperation to the Indemnifying
Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying  Party elects to
contest.  The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense
or settlement  of any Third Party Claim  controlled  by the  Indemnifying  Party
pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the  preceding  sentence,
the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such
participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may takeover
the control of the defense or  settlement  of a Third Party Claim at any time if
it irrevocably  waives its right to indemnity  under Section 9.2 with respect to
such Third  Party  Claim.  (ii) If the  Indemnifying  Party  fails to notify the
Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying  Party desires
to  defend  the  Third  Party  Claim  pursuant  to  Section  9.3(a),  or if  the
Indemnifying  Party  gives such  notice but fails to  prosecute  vigorously  and
diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the  Indemnifying  Party fails
to give any notice  whatsoever  within the Dispute Period,  then the Indemnified
Party  shall  have the  right to  defend,  at the sole cost and  expense  of the
Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings,  which
proceedings  shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner
and in good  faith  or will be  settled  at the  discretion  of the  Indemnified
Party(with  the consent of the  Indemnifying  Party,  which  consent will not be
unreasonably  withheld).  The  Indemnified  Party will have full control of such
defense  and  proceedings,  including  any  compromise  or  settlement  thereof;
provided,  however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party will,  at the sole cost and  expense of the  Indemnifying  Party,  provide
reasonable  cooperation to the  Indemnified  Party and its counsel in contesting
any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding
the  foregoing  provisions of this clause (ii),  if the  Indemnifying  Party has
notified the Indemnified  Party within the Dispute Period that the  Indemnifying
Party  disputes its  liability or the amount of its  liability  hereunder to the
Indemnified  Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is
resolved  in  favor  of  the  Indemnifying  Party  in  the  manner  provided  in
clause(iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs
and expenses of the Indemnified  Party's defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or
of the Indemnifying  Party's  participation  therein at the Indemnified  Party's
request,  and the Indemnified  Party shall reimburse the  Indemnifying  Party in
full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in
connection with such litigation.  The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but
not control,  any defense or  settlement  controlled  by the  Indemnified  Party
pursuant  to this clause  (ii),  and the  Indemnifying  Party shall bear its own
costs and expenses with respect to such participation. (iii) If the Indemnifying
Party notifies the  Indemnified  Party that it does not dispute its liability or
the amount of its liability to the  Indemnified  Party with respect to the Third
Party Claim under  Section 9.2 or fails to notify the  Indemnified  Party within
the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying  Party disputes its liability or the
amount of its  liability  to the  Indemnified  Party with  respect to such Third
Party  Claim,  the  amount of Damages  specified  in the Claim  Notice  shall be
conclusively  deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and
the  Indemnifying  Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified
Party on demand. If the Indemnifying  Party has timely disputed its liability or
the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the  Indemnifying  Party
and the Indemnified  Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution
of such dispute;  provided,  however, that if the dispute is not resolved within
thirty  (30) days  after the  Claim  Notice,  the  Indemnifying  Party  shall be
entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

(b) In the event any  Indemnified  Party  should have a claim under  Section 9.2
against the  Indemnifying  Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim,  the
Indemnified Party shall deliver a written  notification of a claim for indemnity
under Section 9.2  specifying  the nature of and basis for such claim,  together
with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable,  the estimated amount,



determined in good faith, of such claim (an "INDEMNITY  NOTICE") with reasonable
promptness to the Indemnifying  Party.  The failure by any Indemnified  Party to
give the Indemnity  Notice shall not impair such party's rights hereunder except
to the  extent  that  the  Indemnifying  Party  demonstrates  that  it has  been
irreparably   prejudiced   thereby.  If  the  Indemnifying  Party  notifies  the
Indemnified  Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim
described  in such  Indemnity  Notice or fails to notify the  Indemnified  Party
within the Dispute Period whether the  Indemnifying  Party disputes the claim or
the  amount of the claim  described  in such  Indemnity  Notice,  the  amount of
Damages  specified  in the  Indemnity  Notice  will  be  conclusively  deemed  a
liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 9.2 and the Indemnifying Party
shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified  Party on demand. If the
Indemnifying  Party has  timely  disputed  its  liability  or the  amount of its
liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party shall  proceed in good faith to  negotiate a resolution  of such  dispute;
provided,  however,  that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days
after the Claim Notice,  the  Indemnifying  Party shall be entitled to institute
such  legal  action  as it  deems  appropriate.

(c) The indemnity  agreements  contained  herein shall be in addition to (i) any
cause  of  action  or  similar  rights  of the  Indemnified  Party  against  the
Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii)any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may
be subject to.

by either the Company or by the  Investor in  connection  with the  preparation,
negotiation,  execution  and  delivery of any  amendments  to this  Agreement or
relating to the enforcement of the rights of any party,  after the occurrence of
any breach of the terms of this  Agreement  by the other party or any default by
the other party in respect of the transactions contemplated hereunder,  shall be
paid on demand by the party which breached the Agreement  and/or  defaulted,  as
the  case  may  be.  The  Company  shall  pay  all  fees  of  any   unaffiliated
broker/dealer,  and Underwriter,  if required, pursuant to rules of the SEC. The
Company  shall pay all transfer  agent fees,  stamp or other  similar  taxes and
duties levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto.

Section 10.9 NO BROKERS. Each of the Company and Investor represents that it has
had no dealings in connection  with this  transaction  with any finder or broker
who will  demand  payment of any fee or  commission  from the other  party.  The
Company  agrees to indemnify  the Investor  against and hold the other  harmless
from any and all liabilities to any persons  claiming  brokerage  commissions or
finder's  fees on account of services  purported to have been rendered on behalf
of the indemnifying  party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Section  10.10  COUNTERPARTS.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  multiple
counterparts,  each of which may be executed by less than all of the Company and
shall be deemed to be an original  instrument which shall be enforceable against
the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall
constitute  one and the same  instrument.  This  Agreement,  once  executed by a
party, may be delivered to the other parties hereto by facsimile transmission of
a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the parties so delivering this
Agreement.

Section 10.11 SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY. The representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements of the Company hereto shall survive each Closing  hereunder for a
period of one (1) year  thereafter.  In the  event  that any  provision  of this
Agreement  becomes or is declared  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  to be
illegal,  unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect  without  said  provision;  provided  that  such  severability  shall  be
ineffective if it materially  changes the economic  benefit of this Agreement to
any party.



Section 10.12 FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to
be done and performed,  all such further acts and things,  and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements,  certificates,  instruments and documents, as
the other  party may  reasonably  request  in order to carry out the  intent and
accomplish  the  purposes  of  this  Agreement  and  the   consummation  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.13 NO STRICT  CONSTRUCTION.  The language used in this Agreement will
be deemed to be the  language  chosen by the  parties  to express  their  mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

Section 10.14 EQUITABLE RELIEF. The Company recognizes that in the event that it
fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this
Agreement,  any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Investor. The
Company  therefore  agrees that  Investor  shall be entitled  to  temporary  and
permanent  injunctive  relief in any such case without the  necessity of proving
actual damages.

Section  10.15  TITLE AND  SUBTITLES.  The  titles  and  subtitles  used in this
Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered
in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Section 10.16 REPORTING ENTITY FOR THE COMMON STOCK. The reporting entity relied
upon for the determination of the trading price of the Common Stock on any given
Trading Day for the purposes of this  Agreement  shall be Bloomberg  L.P. or any
successor thereto.  The written mutual consent of Investor and the Company shall
be required to employ any other reporting entity.

Section 10.17 PUBLICITY.  The Company and Investor shall consult with each other
in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect
to the transactions  contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press
release or otherwise  make any such public  statement  without the prior written
consent of the other parties,  which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld
or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is
required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other
parties with prior notice of such public statement.  Investor  acknowledges that
this Agreement and all or part of the Transaction  Documents may be deemed to be
"material  contracts"  as that term is defined by Item  601(b)(10) of Regulation
S-K, and that the Company may  therefore  be required to file such  documents as
exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act.
