duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation to do business
in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those in which the
failure so to qualify would not have any effect on the business, operations,

and adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, taken as a
whole, and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or
otherwise interfere with the ability of the

Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents in any material respect (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").
(b) AUTHORITY. (i) The Company has the requisite corporate

authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is

delivered by the Company and, at the Closing, shall constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the
enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles
of general application. The Company has duly and validly authorized and reserved
for issuance shares of Common Stock sufficient in number for the issuance of
Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(the "Warrant Shares") hereunder.
(c) CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 6,988,266 shares

with all reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company is in
compliance with all requirements for the continued listing or quotation of its

Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement, the Principal Market is the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Company has not received any notice regarding,
and to its knowledge there is no threat, of the termination or discontinuance of
the eligibility of the Common Stock for such listing.
(e) SEC DOCUMENTS. The Company has delivered or made available
to the Investors true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. The Company has
not provided to the Investors any information that, according to applicable law,
rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly prior to the date hereof
by the Company, but which has not been so disclosed. As of their respective
dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Exchange Act, and rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
and the SEC Documents did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included
in the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or
other applicable rules
Page 3
<PAGE>
and regulations with respect thereto at the time of such inclusion. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the
notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent
they exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly
present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the
dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended (subject, in the case of unaudited interim statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any
material indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any kind (whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due) that would
have been required to be reflected in, reserved against or otherwise described
in the financial statements or in the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP,
which was not fully reflected in, reserved against or otherwise described in the
financial statements or the notes thereto included in the SEC Documents or was
not incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Company's
past practices since the last date of such financial statements.
(f) EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION; VALID ISSUANCES. Subject to
the accuracy of the Investors' representations in Section 3, the sale of the
Shares and Warrants to the Investors will not require registration under the
Securities Act and/or any applicable state securities law. When issued and paid
for in accordance herewith, the Shares and the Warrant Shares will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Neither the sale of the Shares
and Warrants nor the Company's performance of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, will (i) result in the creation or imposition by the
Company of any liens, charges, claims or other encumbrances upon the Shares and
Warrants, or (ii) entitle the holders of outstanding Capital Shares to
preemptive or other rights to subscribe to or acquire the Capital Shares or
other securities of the Company. Ownership of the Shares and Warrants shall not
subject the Investors to personal liability to the Company or its creditors by
reason of the possession thereof.
(g) NO GENERAL SOLICITATION OR ADVERTISING IN REGARD TO THIS
TRANSACTION. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting
on its or their behalf has (i) conducted or will conduct any general
solicitation (as that term is used in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D) or general
advertising with respect to the sale hereunder of any of the Shares to the
Investors, or (ii) made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security under any circumstances that would, other than
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, require registration of the
Shares under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the Investors.
(h) CORPORATE DOCUMENTS. The Company has furnished or made
available to the Investors true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended and in effect on the date hereof (the
"CERTIFICATE"), and the Company's By-Laws, as amended and in effect on the date
hereof (the "BY-LAWS").

<PAGE>
(i) NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the issuance of
the Shares and the issuance of the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants, do
not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default
(or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument, or any
"lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which
the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state or
local law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (subject to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including federal and state
securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any
material property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, nor is the
Company otherwise in violation of, conflict with or default under any of the
foregoing (except in each case for such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect). The business of
the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations that
either singly or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to
obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell
the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any SEC, Nasdaq
SmallCap Market or state securities filings that may be required to be made by
the Company subsequent to Closing, any registration statement that may be filed
pursuant hereto, and any shareholder approval required by the rules applicable
to companies whose Common Stock trades on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market); provided
that, for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Company is
assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and
agreements of the Investors herein.
(j) NO UNDISCLOSED EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. Since March 31,
2000, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company or its businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial
condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public
disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has
not been so publicly announced or disclosed in the SEC Documents.
(k) NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. The Company will not take, and the
Company shall not permit any of its directors, officers or Affiliates directly
or indirectly to take, any action, so as to make unavailable the exemption from
Securities Act registration being relied upon by the Company for the offer and
sale to Investors of the Shares and Warrants as contemplated by this Agreement.
(l) LITIGATION AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS. Except as set forth in
the SEC Documents, there are no material lawsuits or proceedings pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company, nor has the
Company received any written or oral notice of any such action, suit, proceeding
or investigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no
Page 5
<PAGE>
judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or award has been issued by or, to
the knowledge of the Company, requested of any court, arbitrator or governmental
agency which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) NO MISLEADING OR UNTRUE COMMUNICATION. The Company and, to
the knowledge of the Company, any person representing the Company, have not
made, at any time, any oral communication in connection with the offer or sale
of the Shares to the Investors which contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(n) INSURANCE. The Company maintains property and casualty,
general liability, workers' compensation, environmental hazard, personal injury
and other similar types of insurance with financially sound and reputable
insurers that is adequate, consistent with industry standards and the Company's
historical claims experience. The Company has not received notice from, and has

are required to be shown on a Tax Return) and have withheld and paid over to the
appropriate taxing authorities all Taxes which it is required to withhold from
amounts paid or owing to any employee, stockholder, creditor or other third
parties; and since December 31, 1998, the charges, accruals and reserves for
Taxes with respect to the Company (including any provisions for deferred income
taxes) reflected on the books of the Company are adequate to cover any Tax
liabilities of the Company if its current tax year were treated as ending on the
date hereof.

(THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT
TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
Neither the Shares, the Warrants, nor the Warrant Shares
shall contain the legend set forth above (or any other legend) (i) at any time
while a registration statement is effective under the Securities Act covering
such security, (ii) if, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company
experienced in the area of United States securities laws, such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) or

144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company agrees that it will
provide each Investor, upon request, with a certificate or certificates
representing the Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares, free from such legend at

the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the
Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,

any and all Losses, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for
reasonable all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Company
Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with (A) any
misrepresentation, omission of fact, or breach of any of the Investors'
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the annexes,
schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered
into or delivered by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement; or (B) any
failure by the Investors to perform in any material respect any of their
covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement
or any instrument, certificate or agreement entered into or delivered by the
Investors pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) NOTICE. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto
seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 7(a) (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") of
written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in
respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a "CLAIM"), the
Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification
pursuant to Section 7(a) is being sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall
not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified
Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
Page 12
<PAGE>
materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of
such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the
defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have
the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of
such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the
Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed
to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation
of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel
would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal
counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such
parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate
from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the
commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal
counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z)
above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying
Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for the
Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any
Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect
to such Claim or judgment.
(c) DIRECT CLAIMS. In the event one party hereunder should
have a claim for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being
asserted by a third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice
of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the
claim, such dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in
accordance with the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association
as set forth in Section 8. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrators
may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.
8 GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made in New York by persons domiciled in New York City
and without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Any dispute under
this Agreement or any Exhibit attached hereto shall be submitted to arbitration
under the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in New York City, New
York, and shall be finally and conclusively determined by the decision of a
board of
Page 13
<PAGE>
arbitration consisting of three (3) members (hereinafter referred to as the
"Board of Arbitration") selected as according to the rules governing the AAA.
The Board of Arbitration shall meet on consecutive business days in New York
City, New York, and shall reach and render a decision in writing (concurred in
by a majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration) with respect to the
amount, if any, which the losing party is required to pay to the other party in
respect of a claim filed. In connection with rendering its decisions, the Board
of Arbitration shall adopt and follow the laws of the State of New York. To the
extent practical, decisions of the Board of Arbitration shall be rendered no
more than thirty (30) calendar days following commencement of proceedings with
respect thereto. The Board of Arbitration shall cause its written decision to be
delivered to all parties involved in the dispute. Any decision made by the Board
of Arbitration (either prior to or after the expiration of such thirty (30)
calendar day period) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties to
the dispute, and entitled to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law
and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The non-prevailing party to
any arbitration (as determined by the Board of Arbitration) shall pay the
expenses of the prevailing party including reasonable attorney's fees, in
connection with such arbitration.

be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Except as

(d) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the agreements attached
as Exhibits hereto, which include, but are not limited to, the Registration

Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be

upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in
form and amount to the Company (which shall not exceed that required by the
Company's transfer agent in the ordinary course) or (iii) in the case of any
such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such certificate, the Company
at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new certificate of
like tenor.

agrees to pay its own expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder.

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
except for L.H. Friend Inc., whose fee shall be paid by the Company. The Company
on the one hand, and the Investors, on the other hand, agree to indemnify the
other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any
person 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.

capital. The Investors acknowledge that the Company has agreed that $100,000 of
