WHEREAS, the parties hereto have previously executed and delivered the
Transaction Documents, as more particularly defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated March 31, 2000 (a copy of which has been filed with the

"2.4 Second Repricing Period. The "Second Repricing Period" shall
commence on the day immediately following the First Repricing Period
and end thirty (30) days thereafter. If the lowest average Closing Bid
Price for any ten (10) (not necessarily consecutive) Business Days
during the Second Repricing Period (the "Second Repricing Price"), is
not equal to or greater than 120% of the Initial Closing Price, then up
to one-fourth (1/4) of the Initial Shares, and any Shares not repriced
during a prior Repricing Period, (such number of Shares shall be
determined by Purchaser and reported to the Company within ten (10)
days following the conclusion of the Second Repricing Period) shall be
repriced, (the "Second Repriced Shares"). The Company shall issue to
Purchaser the number of additional Shares as determined according to
the following formula:
((1.20 x Initial Closing Price) - Second Repricing Price) x (#
of the Second Repriced Shares) / Second Repricing Price."
"2.5 Third Repricing Period. (a) The "Third Repricing Period" shall
commence on the day immediately following the Second Repricing Period
and end thirty (30) days thereafter. If the lowest average Closing Bid
Price for any ten (10) (not necessarily consecutive) Business Days
during the Third Repricing Period (the "Third Repricing Price"), is not
equal to or greater than 125% of the Initial Closing Price, up to
one-fourth (1/4) of the Initial Shares, and any Shares not repriced
during a prior Repricing Period (such number of Shares shall be
determined by Purchaser and reported to the Company within ten (10)
days following the conclusion of the Third Repricing Period), shall be
repriced (the "Third Repriced Shares"). The Company shall issue to
Purchaser the number of additional Shares as determined according to
the following formula:
((1.25 x Initial Closing Price) - Third Repricing Price) x (#
of the Third Repriced Shares) / Third Repricing Price."

"2.6 Fourth Repricing Period. (a) The "Fourth Repricing Period" shall
commence on the day immediately following the Third Repricing Period
and end one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter. If the lowest average
Closing Bid for any ten (10) (not necessarily consecutive) Business
Days during one or more thirty (30) consecutive day periods as selected
by Purchaser, after the commencement of the Fourth Repricing Period is
not equal to or greater than 130% of the Initial Closing Price, all of
the Initial Shares not repriced during a prior Repricing Period, shall
be repriced (the "Fourth Repriced Shares"). Such number of Shares shall
be determined by Purchaser and reported to the Company within ten (10)
days following the conclusion of the relevant period. The Company shall
issue to Purchaser the number of additional Shares as determined
according to the following formula:
((1.30 x Initial Closing Price) - Fourth Repricing Price) x (#
of the Fourth Repriced Shares) / Fourth Repricing Price.
There may be more than one Repricing during the Fourth Repricing
Period."

that is less than the market price of the Common Stock at the time of

Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the
proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds
intended to be raised thereunder, the person with whom such Subsequent

fail to notify the Company of its intention to enter into such
negotiations within such time period, then the Company may effect the
Subsequent Financing substantially upon the terms and to the persons
(or affiliates of such persons) set forth in the Subsequent Financing
Notice; provided that the Company shall provide Purchaser with a second
Subsequent Financing Notice, and Purchaser shall again have the right
of first refusal set forth above in this Section 8.3, if the Subsequent
Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice shall not
have been consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such
Subsequent Financing Notice within sixty (60) Business Days after the
date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice with the person (or an
affiliate of such person) identified in the Subsequent Financing
