redeem outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $167,000.

or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is or its property is bound,
and neither the execution, nor the delivery by the Company, nor the performance

copyright, license, trade secret or other similar right of others currently in
existence; and there is no claim being made against the Company regarding any
trademark, trade name, patent, copyright, license, trade secret or other

could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of
the Company to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and all

agreements.
3.12 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no
action, proceeding or investigation pending, or threatened, against the Company

and operating in material compliance with all authorizations, licenses,
certificates, consents, orders and permits from state, federal and other

3.16 Listing. The Company shall secure the listing of the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the
Warrants upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system
(including the Nasdaq National Market and Small Cap Market), if any, upon which
the shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall use its best efforts to maintain , so long as any other
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all such shares of
Common Stock. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the Common
Stock's authorization for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Small
Cap, The New York Stock Exchange, or The American Stock Exchange, Inc. The
Company has not received any notice, oral or written, regarding continued
listing (except that the Company has received a letter from Nasdaq dated July
15, 1998 stating that the closing bid price of the Common Stock was below One
Dollar for more than thirty consecutive trading days, and if, within ninety
trading days after July 15, 1998 the closing bid price of the Common Stock is
not greater than One Dollar for ten consecutive trading days the Company faces
delisting from the Nasdaq National Market) and, as long as the Preferred Stock
and Warrants are outstanding, the Company will take no action which would
materially or adversely impact their continued listing or eligibility of the
Company for such listing. The Company does not currently meet the "net tangible
assets" Nasdaq NMS maintenance requirement, but except for the redemption
obligations resulting from the Nasdaq 20% Limitation (which will not be
applicable depending upon the Series D Convertible Price Floor or if shareholder
approval is obtained) the Company would have met such requirement immediately
after the Closing Date.
3.17 Other Outstanding Securities/Financing Restrictions. Except as
disclosed in the Reports, the Company has no outstanding restricted shares, or
shares of Common Stock sold under Regulation S, Regulation D or outstanding
under any other exemption from registration, which are available for sale as
unrestricted ("free trading") stock. The Company agrees that it will only issue
the Preferred Stock to the Purchasers herein pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Statement of Designations.
3.18 Registration Alternative. The Company covenants and agrees that
for so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding and continue to be
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act, the
Company shall permit resales of the underlying Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144
under the Act. The Company and the Purchasers shall provide the Transfer Agent
any and all papers necessary to complete the transfer under Rule 144, including,
but not limited to, opinions of counsel to the Transfer Agent, and the Company
shall continue to file all material required to be filed pursuant to Sections
13(a) or 15(d) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.
3.19 Capitalization. As of July 17, 1998 the outstanding capital
stock of the Company consists of 175 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
14,398,820 shares of Common Stock (including shares issued to Liviakis Financial
Communications). All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and
preferred stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable. The Company represents that it has a sufficient number of
authorized and reserved shares of preferred stock for the purposes of
consummating this transaction and, assuming the conversion on the Closing Date
of all shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants to be issued at such closing, a
sufficient number of authorized and reserved shares of Common Stock.
10
3.20 Dilution. The Company is aware and acknowledges that conversion
of the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and/or the exercise of the Warrants,
would cause dilution to existing Shareholders and could significantly increase
the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock.

dispute, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is any such dispute threatened.
None of the Company's employees is a member of a union and the Company believes

and all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants and which the Company know is

financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company is engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it

necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not materially and
adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
business or operation, of the Company.
3.24 Conversion and Exercise. The Company will permit the Purchasers

shares of Common Stock of the Company within the earlier of three months after
the closing of the Call or February 1, 1999, the Company will give each
Purchaser written notice of the terms and conditions of such offer (the "ROFR
Notice"). Each Purchaser shall have a pro rata right of first refusal to
participate in such offering. Each Purchaser shall have three (3) business days
to reply in writing after receipt of the ROFR Notice from the Company. Such
reply may be sent via facsimile. In the event such written reply is not
received by the Company within such three (3) business day period, it will be
deemed a refusal by such Purchaser. The Purchasers shall have the right to
review all final documentation regarding such placements and such documentation
shall be delivered to each Purchaser with the ROFR Notice. The right of first
refusal shall not apply to (i) a loan from a commercial bank, (ii) any
transaction involving the issuance of the Company's securities (A) as
consideration in a merger,
11
consolidation or other business combination, (B) in connection with any

ratified by the stockholders and the number of shares issuable under the
Statement of Designations and/or exercise of the Warrants would exceed 19.99% of
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date, the
Company will seek a waiver from the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other applicable
market or exchange) to permit such issuances.
