defined below) or any of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Transfer Agent Instructions or the
Warrants (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), (y) have or result in a

by this Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE
[CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (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 AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
Underlying Shares shall contain the legend set forth above nor any other
legend if the conversion of Debentures or the exercise of the Warrants, as the
case may be, occurs at any time while an Underlying Shares Registration
Statement is effective under the Securities Act or the holder is relying on Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") in connection with the
--------
resale of such Underlying Shares, or in the event there is not an effective
Underlying Shares Registration Statement, and Rule 144 is not then available for
resale of the Underlying Shares, at such time as such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without
limitation, judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion
included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company=s transfer agent on
the Effective Date. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date, it
will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to
the Company of a certificate or certificates representing such Underlying Shares
issued with a restrictive legend, deliver to such Purchaser certificates
representing such Underlying Shares which shall be free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions
of transfer set forth in this Section.
3.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the
----------------------------
issuance of Underlying Shares upon the conversion of the Debentures and the
exercise of the Warrants will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.
The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to deliver the Underlying
Shares to the investor upon conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the
Warrants is unconditional and absolute, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Debentures or the Warrants, as the case may be, regardless of the effect of
any such dilution.
3.3 Furnishing of Information. After the Closing Date, and thereafter,
-------------------------
for as long as the Purchasers own Securities, the Company covenants to timely
file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date
hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as the
Purchasers own Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the
Securities Act such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the
Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including causing its attorneys to render
and deliver any legal opinion required in order to permit a Purchaser to receive
Underlying Shares free of all restrictive legends and to subsequently sell
Underlying Shares under Rule 144 upon receipt of a notice of an intention to
sell or other form of notice having a similar effect. Upon the request of any
such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written certification of
a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
3.4 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts
-----------
to ensure that, no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.
3.5 Increase in Authorized Shares. If on any date the Company would
-------------------------------
be, if a notice of conversion or exercise (as the case may be) were to be
delivered on such date, precluded from issuing (a) 200% of the number of
Underlying Shares as would then be issuable upon a conversion in full of the
Debentures and (b) the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise in
full of the Warrants (the "Current Required Minimum"), in either case, due to
------------------------
the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued or reserved
shares of Common Stock, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall
promptly prepare and mail to the stockholders of the Company proxy materials
requesting authorization to amend the Company's certificate or articles of
incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company
is authorized to issue to at least such number of shares as reasonably requested
by the Purchasers in order to provide for such number of authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock to enable the Company to comply with its issuance,
conversion exercise and reservation of shares obligations as set forth in this
Agreement, the Debentures and the Warrants (the sum of (x) the number of shares
of Common Stock then outstanding plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of all outstanding options, warrants and convertible instruments, and
(y) the Current Required Minimum, shall be a reasonable number). In connection
therewith, the Board of Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing
such increase, (b) recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly
and duly obtain stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a
special meeting of the stockholders no later than the earlier to occur of the
sixtieth (60th) day after delivery of the proxy materials relating to such
meeting and the ninetieth (90th) day after request by a holder of Securities to
issue the number of Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms hereof) and
(c) within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such stockholder authorization,
file an appropriate amendment to the Company's certificate or articles of
incorporation to evidence such increase.
The Company is currently seeking shareholder approval for an increase I
authorized shares. It is anticipated that this will be achieved by July 1,
2001.
3.6 Reservation and Listing of Underlying Shares. (a) The Company
------------------------------------------------
shall (i) in the time and manner required by any national securities exchange,
market, trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then traded,
prepare and file with such national securities exchange, market, trading or
quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then traded an additional shares
listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock which is not
less than the Initial Minimum, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such
shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on any such national
securities exchange, market or trading or quotation facility on which the Common
Stock is then listed as soon as possible thereafter, and (iii) provide to the
Purchasers evidence of such listing, and the Company shall maintain the listing
of its Common Stock thereon. If the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon
(x) conversion in full of the then outstanding Debentures and (y) exercise in
full of the then unexercised portion of the Warrants, exceeds eighty-five
percent (85%) of the number of Underlying Shares previously listed on account
thereof with any such required exchanges, then the Company shall take the
necessary actions to immediately list a number of Underlying Shares as equals no
less than the then Current Required Minimum.
(b) The Company shall maintain a reserve of shares of Common Stock for
issuance upon conversion of the Debentures in full and upon exercise in full of
the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement, in such amount as may be
required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents,
which reserve shall equal no less than the then Current Required Minimum.
(c) The Company shall at all times cause the number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for the benefit of the Purchasers for delivery to the Purchasers
in accordance with the Debentures and the Warrant to be not less than 200% of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion in full of the Debentures
and exercise in full of the Warrant; and within five Business days following the
receipt by the Company of the Purchaser's notice that such minimum number of
Underlying Shares is not reserved, the Company shall promptly register a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.

Instructions, the Escrow Agreement, the Conversion Notice (as defined in the
Debentures) and the Form of Election to Purchase (as defined in the Warrants)
sets forth the totality of the procedures with respect to the conversion of the
Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants, including the form of legal
opinion, if necessary, that shall be rendered to the Company's transfer agent
and such other information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to
enable the Purchasers to convert their Debentures and their Warrants, as the
case may be.
3.8 Conversion and Exercise Obligations of the Company. The Company
-----------------------------------------------------

or exchangeable for Common Stock).
(b) Subject to Section 3.9(d) and (e), the Company shall not, directly

indirectly) for shares of Common Stock, including the issuance of any debt or
other instrument at any time over the life thereof convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock (collectively, a "Subsequent Placement") from the
--------------------
date hereof until the expiration of the 180th Trading Day after the Effective
Date, unless (A) the Company delivers to each of the Purchasers a written notice
(the "Subsequent Placement Notice") of its intention to effect such Subsequent
----------------------------
Placement, which Subsequent Placement Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Placement, the amount of proceeds intended
to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Placement shall be
effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document
relating thereto and (B) such Purchaser shall not have notified the Company by
6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the tenth Trading Day after its receipt of the
Subsequent Placement Notice of its willingness to provide (or to cause its sole
designee to provide), subject to completion of mutually acceptable
documentation, financing to the Company on the same terms set forth in the
Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall fail to notify the Company
of their intention to enter into such negotiations within such time period, the
Company may effect the Subsequent Placement substantially upon the terms and to
the Persons (or Affiliates of such Persons) set forth in the Subsequent
Placement Notice; provided, that the Company shall provide the Purchasers with a
--------
second Subsequent Placement Notice, and the Purchasers shall again have the
right of first refusal set forth above in this paragraph (a), if the Subsequent
Placement subject to the initial Subsequent Placement Notice shall not have been
consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Placement
Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent
Placement Notice with the Person (or an Affiliate of such Person) identified in
the Subsequent Placement Notice. If the Purchasers shall indicate a willingness
to provide financing in excess of the amount set forth in the Subsequent
Placement Notice, then each Purchaser shall be entitled to provide financing
pursuant to such Subsequent Placement Notice up to an amount equal to such
Purchaser=s pro-rata portion of the aggregate number of Securities purchased by
such Purchaser under this Agreement, but the Company shall not be required to
accept financing from the Purchasers in an amount in excess of the amount set
forth in the Subsequent Placement Notice.

Securities" (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) to be
registered, and securities of the Company permitted pursuant to Section 6(c) of
the Registration Rights Agreement to be registered, in the Underlying Shares

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.
