statement the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of any then
outstanding Debentures or the exercise of any then outstanding Warrants so as
to permit the public resale thereof. All costs and expenses of registration
shall be borne by the Company.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company for any reason shall become a
Reporting Issuer, or shall have taken any action the effect of which would be
to cause the Underlying Shares to be issued upon conversion of any then
outstanding Debentures or the exercise of any then outstanding Warrants to be
restricted securities (as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act), the Company agrees to immediately file with the SEC and

law. This power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while
any amount of Debenture remains unpaid, any amount of the Warrants remain
unexercised or any portion of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement remains
unsatisfied.
Section 4.17 Changes to Rule 504. If any shares of Common Stock required to be

from the transmission of the Conversion or Notice of Exercise by the Escrow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Agent to object only to the calculation of the number of Escrow Shares to be
released. If the Company falls to object to the calculation of the number of
Escrow Shares to be released within said time, then the Company shall be deemed
to have waived any objections to the calculation of the number of Escrow Shares
set forth in the Purchasers' or Warrant Holders' Notice and directed Escrow
Agent to release same. It being agreed that the Company's only basis for any
objection hereunder shall be to the calculation of the number of Escrowed
Shares to be released. In the event of such an objection, the Parties shall
have one (1) Business Day to agree on the number of Escrow Shares to be
released pursuant to said Conversion or Exercise. In the event that the Parties
cannot agree on the number of Escrow Shares to be released in said time, then
the Company shall commence a legal action in the appropriate state or federal
court in the State and County of New York, within five (5) Business Days of the
transmittal of the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise by the Escrow
Agent to the Company. If the Company does not commence such legal action within
said five (5) Business Days, the Escrow Agent shall release the number of
shares stated in the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise to the
Purchaser and the Company's objection shall be deemed withdrawn and waived with
prejudice. If the Escrow Agent does not receive said objection notice within
the time period set forth above from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall
release from escrow and deliver to the Purchasers unlegended certificates or
instruments representing the number of Escrow Shares issuable to the Purchasers
or the Warrant Holders in accordance with such conversion or exercise on the
second Business Days from the transmittal to the Company of the Notice of
Conversion or the Notice of Exercise. In the event that the certificates
evidencing the Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent are not in denominations
appropriate for such delivery to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders, the
Escrow Agent shall request the Company to cause its transfer agent and
registrar to reissue certificates in smaller denominations. The Escrow Agent
shall, however, immediately release to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders
certificates representing such lesser number of shares as the denominations in
its possession will allow that is closest to but no more than the actual number
to be released to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders. Upon receipt of the
reissued shares in lesser denominations from the Company's transfer agent, the
Escrow Agent shall release to the Purchasers or the War-rant Holders, the
balance of the shares due to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders.
(f) The Escrow Agent agrees to notify in writing by facsimile the Company
each time it releases Escrow Shares to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders.
Until any such release and notification to the Company, the Escrow Shares shall
not be deemed to be validly issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Company.
(g) The Company agrees that, at any time the conversion price of the
Debentures is such that the number of Debenture Escrow Shares is less than 200%
of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be needed to satisfy full
conversion of all of the Debentures given the then current conversion price
(the 'Full Conversion Shares"), upon five (5) days written notice of such
circumstance to the Company by the Purchasers and/or Escrow Agent, it will
issue additional share certificates, without legend and in the names of each of
the Purchasers, and deliver same to the Escrow Agent, such that the new number
of Debenture Escrow Shares is equal to 200% of the Full Conversion Shares.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by the Purchasers and the Company, or any other party thereto. The Escrow Agent

and signed jointly by each of the Purchasers and the Company, and agreed to in
writing by the Escrow Agent.
(d) If the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights
hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands which, in its

proper officer of a court of competent jurisdiction as may be permitted by law.
The fee of any court officer shall be borne by the Company. Upon such
delivery, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged from any and all responsibility
or liability with respect to the Consideration and this Agreement and the
Company and the Purchasers shall promptly pay to the Escrow Agent all monies
which may be owed it for its services hereunder, including, but not limited to,
reimbursement of its out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to paragraph (i) below.
(h) This Agreement shall not create any fiduciary duty on the Escrow
Agent's part to the Purchasers or the Company, nor disqualify the Escrow Agent
from representing either party hereto in any dispute with the other, including
any dispute with respect to the Consideration.
(i) The Escrow Agent represents that it is counsel to at least one of the
Purchasers. The parties agree that the Escrow Agent's engagement as provided

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION
[Insert Date]
To the Parties Listed As "Purchasers"
in the "Purchase Agreement"
Re: __________________________________
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as legal counsel to _____________ , A ____________ Corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the Convertible Debenture Purchase
Agreement, dated as of ______________, among ___________________ (the
"Purchasers") and the Company (the "Purchase Agreement") and the transactions
contemplated therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement, the Convertible Debenture, the Warrant and the Escrow Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Debentures, the Warrants and the Escrow
Agreement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Operative
Documents."
In addition to the Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Debenture, the Warrant
and the Escrow Agreement, we have examined such other documents, records and
legal matters as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below, including, without limitation, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as in effect on the date
hereof (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the Company's By-laws [List Other
Documents Reviewed](the "Other Documents") (the Other Documents and the
Operative Documents collectively referred to as the "Relevant Documents"). We
have also relied on the Officer's Certificates and the Secretary's Certificates
furnished by officers of the Company as of the date hereof We have without any
independent verification relied upon and assumed the accuracy of such
certificates as to factual matters and have not attempted to verify
independently the statements contained therein; however, nothing has come to
our attention that would cause us to question the accuracy of such statements.
We have also relied, without independent verification, on the representations
and warranties as to factual matters of the Company and the Purchasers
contained in the Operative Documents, the schedules thereto and on the
certificates of governmental officials. In all such examinations, we have
assumed: (1) the genuineness of signatures of all persons other than the
signatures of persons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Page 2
signing on behalf of the Company; (ii) the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals; (iii) the validity of all applicable laws,
statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, and the proper indexing and
accuracy of all records and documents which are public records; and (iv) the
conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified, conformed or Photostat copies. We have also assumed, without
verification, the legal capacity of each individual who has executed documents
or instruments in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
We have assumed, without verification, (i) that the parties to the Purchase
Agreement and the other instruments and documents executed in connection
therewith, other than the Company, have the power (including, without
limitation, corporate power where applicable) and authority to enter into and
perform the Purchase Agreement and such other instruments and documents,
(ii) the due authorization, execution and delivery by such other parties of the
Purchase Agreement and such other instruments and documents, and (iii) that the
Purchase Agreement and such other instruments and documents constitute legal,
binding obligations of each such other party, enforceable against such other
parties in accordance with their respective terms.
Whenever our opinion is stated to be "to our knowledge," or "known to us," that
phrase shall mean that, in the course of our representation of the Company, no
facts have come to our attention of the attorneys in our firm performing such
services, which should give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of
such facts. We have not conducted any review or inquiry or investigation of
any type concerning the Company or its affairs in connection with this
transaction or in the preparation of this letter other than as set forth
specifically herein. No references of knowledge or inquiry or investigation
may be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.
Our opinion with respect to binding effect and enforceability is subject to the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors generally, to the effect of generally applicable principles
of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity), and to the enforceability of provisions which may be found
by a court to be violations of public policy.
Our opinions are limited to laws, which, in our experience, are normally
applicable to general business corporations that are not engaged in regulated
business activities and to transactions of type contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement (and we have not made any special investigation of any other laws),
and we express no opinion as to any laws to which you or the Company may be
subject as a result of its or your legal regulatory status.
Our opinions are limited to those expressly stated herein, and no other
additional opinions shall be inferred.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
(1) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, with the requisite corporate power and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. To our knowledge, the Company has no subsidiaries
other than the Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each Jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be
so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not individually or
in the aggregate have a material adverse effect.
(2) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Operative
Documents and to otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery of each of the Operative Documents by the Company and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. Each of the
Operative Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(3) Immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Operative Documents, there are____________shares of the Company's common
stock issued and outstanding. The total authorized capital of the Company
is________________ shares of common stock, $______par value, and_______________
shares of stock, $_______ par value.
(4) Each of the Warrants and the Convertible Debentures have been duly
authorized and, when paid for in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and the other Operative Documents, shall have been validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
(5) The shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Debentures (the "Underlying Shares") and upon exercise of the
Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") are duly authorized and, when paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Debentures or Warrants, as the case may be,
shall have been validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
(6) No shares of the common stock, par value $. ___ per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights. Except
as specifically disclosed in Schedule 3. I (c) to the Purchase Agreement, there
are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Page 4
registration rights, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating
to, or, except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Convertible
Debentures, and the Warrants, securities, rights or obligations convertible
into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right to subscribe for or
acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings,
or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound
to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible
or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.
(7) Other than the Required Approvals, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court of other federal, state,
local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Operative Documents
other than filing a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
making the applicable Blue Sky filings under state securities laws, each as
contemplated by the Purchasers.
(8) The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the
terms of the Operative Documents and the issuance of the Debentures, and the
Warrants, do not violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws or, to our knowledge, any provision of any applicable federal or state
law, rule or regulation. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in
Schedule 3. I (e) of the Purchase Agreement, the execution, delivery and
performance of and compliance with the Operative Documents and the issuance of
the Debentures, and the Warrants have not resulted and will not result in any
violation of, or constitute a default under (or an event which with the passage
of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under), any
contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree binding upon the Company
and known to us which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material
adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. To the
best of our knowledge the business of the Company is not being conducted in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority the
result of which would have a material adverse effect on the business of the
Company.
(9) The issuance of the common stock of the Company upon conversion of the
Debentures and exercise of the Warrants will be made in reliance upon Rule 504
of Regulation D as promulgated under Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"), and
thus will be unrestricted, free trading shares under the federal securities
laws, assuming that the Purchaser owns no other shares of the Company's common
stock that would cause it to be deemed an "affiliate" as that term is defined
in the '33 Act. There have been no changes to applicable SEC rules and
regulations which would affect the free transferability of securities issued
pursuant to Rule 504, and the Company satisfies all of the terms and conditions
required to be met for offers and sales of freely transferable securities
pursuant to Rule 504. The Company has not made any sales of its securities
within the 12 months prior to the consummation of the transaction contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement under Rule 504, in reliance on any exemption from
registration under Section 3(b) of the '33 Act, or in violation of Section 5(a)
of the '33 Act, except as disclosed in Schedule 3. I (]) of the Purchase

the Purchasers, and that the Operative Documents are valid, binding and
enforceable upon each of the Purchasers.
(b) Our opinions on the binding effect and enforceability of any obligation
are subject to limitations resulting from the effects of (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance,
arrangement and assignment for the benefit of creditors laws and similar laws
or judicially developed doctrines, and (ii) general principles of equity,
whether applied by a court of law or equity.
(c) We disclaim any opinion as to (i) any provisions in any documents,
which purport to waive any procedural due process rights, and (ii) any
provisions relating to choice of governing law, which choice may depend upon

is indicated to be based on our knowledge, we are referring to the actual
current knowledge of partners and associates of who have had substantive
involvement in the representation of the Company in connection with this
transaction. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine
the existence or absence of such facts (and have not caused to be made any
review of any court files or indices) and no inferences as to our knowledge
concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such representation
has been undertaken by us.
(e) Our opinions are limited to the matters expressly set forth herein and
to laws and facts existing on the date hereof an no opinion is to be implied or
inferred beyond the matters expressly so stated.

Page 6
the federal law of the United States, and we express no opinion as to the

jurisdiction. To the extent that the governing law with respect to any matters
covered by this opinion is the law of any jurisdiction other than the States
of______________ or federal law of the United States, we have assumed that the
law of such other jurisdiction is identical to_____________ law. We express no
opinion as to the effect on the transactions described herein, and in the
Operative Documents and the other agreements and materials referred to herein,
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the States of______________ and the
federal law of the United States. As members of the bar of the State
of______________, we do not purport to be experts on the law of any other State
of the United States or the jurisdiction of any foreign country.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation, to
update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances, which
may hereafter come to our attention, or any changes in laws, which may

copy of a judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
directing the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Shares to any party hereto or

the Purchasers and/or the Warrant Holders may deliver to the Escrow Agent
written notice (a "Notice of Conversion" or the "Notice of Exercise") that it
has elected to convert the Debentures registered in the names of such
Purchasers, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the Debentures
(including, without limitation; giving the required notice to the Company and
tendering to the Company the Debenture(s) to be converted), or that it has
elected to exercise the Warrants registered in the names of such Warrant
Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the Warrants
(including, without limitation, giving the required notice to the Company and
tendering to the Company the Warrant(s) to be exercised), and the Notice of

Conversion or Notice of Exercise shall specify the number of Escrow Shares to
be released by the Escrow Agent. The Company shall have one (1) Business Day
from the transmission of the Conversion or Notice of Exercise by the Escrow
Agent to object only to the calculation of the number of Escrow Shares to be
released. If the Company falls to object to the calculation of the number of
Escrow Shares to be released within said time, then the Company shall be deemed
to have waived any objections to the calculation of the number of Escrow Shares
set forth in the Purchasers' or Warrant Holders' Notice and directed Escrow
Agent to release same. It being agreed that the Company's only basis for any
objection hereunder shall be to the calculation of the number of Escrowed
Shares to be released. In the event of such an objection, the Parties shall
have one (1) Business Day to agree on the number of Escrow Shares to be
released pursuant to said Conversion or Exercise. In the event that the Parties
cannot agree on the number of Escrow Shares to be released in said time, then
the Company shall commence a legal action in the appropriate state or federal
court in the State and County of New York, within five (5) Business Days of the
transmittal of the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise by the Escrow
Agent to the Company. If the Company does not commence such legal action within
said five (5) Business Days, the Escrow Agent shall release the number of
shares stated in the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise to the
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
Purchaser and the Company's objection shall be deemed withdrawn and waived with
prejudice. If the Escrow Agent does not receive said objection notice within
the time period set forth above from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall
release from escrow and deliver to the Purchasers unlegended certificates or
instruments representing the number of Escrow Shares issuable to the Purchasers
or the Warrant Holders in accordance with such conversion or exercise on the
second Business Days from the transmittal to the Company of the Notice of
Conversion or the Notice of Exercise. In the event that the certificates
evidencing the Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent are not in denominations
appropriate for such delivery to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders, the
Escrow Agent shall request the Company to cause its transfer agent and
registrar to reissue certificates in smaller denominations. The Escrow Agent
shall, however, immediately release to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders
certificates representing such lesser number of shares as the denominations in
its possession will allow that is closest to but no more than the actual number
to be released to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders. Upon receipt of the
reissued shares in lesser denominations from the Company's transfer agent, the
Escrow Agent shall release to the Purchasers or the War-rant Holders, the
balance of the shares due to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders.
(f) The Escrow Agent agrees to notify in writing by facsimile the Company
each time it releases Escrow Shares to the Purchasers or the Warrant Holders.
Until any such release and notification to the Company, the Escrow Shares shall
not be deemed to be validly issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Company.
(g) The Company agrees that, at any time the conversion price of the
Debentures is such that the number of Debenture Escrow Shares is less than 200%
of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be needed to satisfy full
conversion of all of the Debentures given the then current conversion price
(the 'Full Conversion Shares"), upon five (5) days written notice of such
circumstance to the Company by the Purchasers and/or Escrow Agent, it will
issue additional share certificates, without legend and in the names of each of
the Purchasers, and deliver same to the Escrow Agent, such that the new number
of Debenture Escrow Shares is equal to 200% of the Full Conversion Shares.
3. Duties and Obligations of the Escrow Agent.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the duties and obligations of the Escrow
Agent are only such as are herein specifically provided and no other. The
Escrow Agents duties are as a depositary only, and the Escrow Agent shall incur
no liability whatsoever, except as a direct result of its willful misconduct or
gross negligence.
(b) The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel of its choice, and shall not
be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with
the advice of such counsel.

<PAGE>
(c) The Escrow Agent shall not be bound in any way by the terms of any
other agreement to which the Purchasers and the Company are parties, whether or
not it has knowledge thereof, and the Escrow Agent shall not in any way be
required to determine whether or not any other agreement has been complied with
by the Purchasers and the Company, or any other party thereto. The Escrow Agent
shall not be bound by any modification, amendment, termination, cancellation,
rescission or suppression of this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing
and signed jointly by each of the Purchasers and the Company, and agreed to in
writing by the Escrow Agent.
(d) If the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights
hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands which, in its
opinion, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall

property held in escrow or to take certain action, until it shall jointly be
directed otherwise in writing by the Purchasers and the Company or by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) The Escrow Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon any written
notice, demand, certificate or document which it, in good faith, believes to be
genuine. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or
accuracy of the form, execution, validity or genuineness of documents or
securities now or hereafter deposited hereunder, or of any endorsement thereon,
or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor
shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any respect on account of
the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or
purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or endorsement.
(f) The Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings
of any kind and shall not be required to defend any legal proceedings, which
may be instituted against it or in respect of the Consideration.
(g) If the Escrow Agent at any time, in its sole discretion, deems it

by delivering the same to any other escrow agent mutually agreeable to the
Purchasers and the Company and, if no such escrow agent shall be selected
within three days of the Escrow Agent's notification to the Purchasers and the
Company of its desire to so relinquish custody of the Consideration, then the
Escrow Agent may do so by delivering the Consideration to the clerk or other
proper officer of a court of competent jurisdiction as may be permitted by law.
