qualifications of such Principal Market, the Company will immediately thereafter
give written notice to each Investor and take all action necessary to bring the
Company within compliance with all applicable listing standards of the Principal

the Company shall seek a waiver from the Principal Market for such below market
issuances. In the event the Company does not receive such waiver within the
earlier of ten calendar days after the aforementioned shareholders meeting, or

Stock issuable on account of all outstanding warrants, options and convertible
securities (other than the Preferred Stock and the Warrants) and on account of
all shares reserved under any stock option, stock purchase, warrant or similar

reasonably requested by any of the Investors or any such representative, advisor
or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including,
without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably
made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the
filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of
enabling the Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and
their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due
diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of the Registration
Statement.
Section 7.2 Non-Disclosure of Non-Public Information.
----------------------------------------
-22-
(a) The Company shall not disclose non-public information to the
Investors, or advisors to or representatives of, the Investors unless prior to
disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being
non-public information and provides each Investor, and its advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such non-
public information for review. The Company may, as a condition to disclosing any
non-public information hereunder, require each of the Investors advisors and
representatives to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Investors.
(b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-
public information to any of the Investors or their advisors or representatives,
and the Company represents that it does not disseminate non-public information
to any investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to
money managers or to securities analysts, provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as
hereinabove provided, immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the
Investors and, if any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any
circumstance (without any obligation to disclose the specific event or
circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-public information
(whether or not requested of the Company specifically or generally during the
course of due diligence by such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement would cause such
prospectus to include a material 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. Nothing contained
in this Section shall be construed to mean that such persons or entities other
than the Investors (without the written consent of the Investors prior to
disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public information in the
course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or entities from
notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due diligence by such
persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in
the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements contained
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

Legends
-------
Section 8.1 Legends. The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is
-------
required by this Section, of the following legend (or such substantially similar
legend as is acceptable to the Investors and their counsel, the parties agreeing
that any unacceptable legended securities shall be replaced promptly by and at
the Company's cost, the "Legend") on the securities:
[FOR PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS] NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE
SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES MAY BE [CONVERTIBLE OR EXERCISABLE]
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES
-23-
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.
[ONLY FOR NEW COMMON SHARES, UNDERLYING SHARES, ADDITIONAL SHARES
AND WARRANT SHARES TO THE EXTENT THE RESALE THEREOF IS NOT COVERED BY AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AT THE TIME OF CONVERSION, ISSUANCE OR
EXERCISE] THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT 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.
The New Common Shares, Underlying Shares, Additional Shares and/or Warrant
Shares shall not contain the legend set forth above or any other restrictive
legend (other than as pursuant to the Registration Statement) if the conversion
of the Preferred Stock, exercise of the Warrants or other issuances of the New
Common Shares, the Underlying Shares, the Additional Shares, and/or the Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, occurs at any time while a Registration Statement is
effective under the Securities Act or, in the event there is not an effective
Registration Statement at such time, if in the opinion of counsel to the Company
such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of
the SEC). The Company agrees that it will provide the Investors, upon request,
with a certificate or certificates representing New Common Shares, Underlying
Shares, Additional Shares and/or Warrant Shares, free from such legend at such
time as such legend is no longer required hereunder. The Company may not take
any action or 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.
Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Company is issuing to the
transfer agent for its Common Stock (and to any substitute or replacement
transfer agent for its Common Stock upon the Company's appointment of any such
substitute or replacement transfer agent) instructions in substantially the form
of Exhibit F hereto. Such instructions shall be irrevocable by the Company from
and after the date hereof or from and after the issuance thereof to any such
-24-
substitute or replacement transfer agent, as the case may be, except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. It is the
intent and purpose of such instructions, as provided therein, to require the
transfer agent for the Common Stock from time to time upon transfer of
Registrable Securities by the Investors to issue certificates evidencing such
Registrable Securities free of the Legend during the following periods and under
the following circumstances and except as provided below, without consultation
by the transfer agent with the Company or its counsel and without the need for
any further advice or instruction or documentation to the transfer agent by or
from the Company or its counsel or the Investors:
(a) at any time after the Effective Date, upon surrender of one
or more certificates evidencing the Warrants, the Preferred Stock, the New
Common Shares, the Underlying Shares or the Warrant Shares that bear the
aforementioned Legend, to the extent accompanied by a notice requesting the
issuance of new certificates free of the aforementioned legend to replace those
surrendered; provided that (i) the Registration Statement shall then be
effective; (ii) the Investor(s) confirm to the transfer agent that it has sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer
such Common Stock in a bona fide transaction to a third party that is not an
affiliate of the Company; and (iii) the Investor(s) confirm to the transfer
agent that the Investor(s) have complied with the prospectus delivery
requirement; or
(b) at any time upon any surrender of one or more certificates
evidencing Registrable Securities, that bear the aforementioned Legend, to the
extent accompanied by a notice requesting the issuance of new certificates free
of such legend to replace those surrendered and containing representations that
(i) the Investor(s) is permitted to dispose of such Registrable Securities,
without limitation as to amount or manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act (or any other similar exemption as may then be in effect), or
(ii) the Investor(s) has sold, pledged or otherwise transferred or agreed to
sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Registrable Securities, in a manner
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to a transferee who
will upon such transfer be entitled to freely tradable securities. The Company
shall have counsel provide any and all opinions necessary for the sale under
Rule 144 (or such other applicable exemption).
Any of the notices referred to above in this Section may be sent by
facsimile to the Company's transfer agent.
Section 8.2 No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No legend
----------------------------------------------
other than the one specified in this Article (or pursuant to the Registration
Statement) has been or shall be placed on the share certificates representing
the Common Stock, and no instructions or "stop transfer orders," so called,
"stock transfer restrictions," or other restrictions have been or shall be given
to the Company's transfer agent with respect thereto other than as expressly set
forth in this Article.
-25-
Section 8.3 Investor's Compliance. Nothing in this Article shall affect
---------------------
in any way any of the Investors' obligations under any agreement to comply with
all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Common Stock.
ARTICLE IX
----------
Choice of Law
-------------
Section 9.1 Choice of Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be
----------------------------------
construed and enforced in accordance with and governed exclusively by the laws
of the State of New York, except for matters arising under the Securities Act,
without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court sitting in the
Southern District of the State of New York sitting in Manhattan in connection
with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum
-----
non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions.
--- ----------
Each party hereby agrees that if another party to this Agreement obtains a
judgment against it in such a proceeding, the party which obtained such judgment
may enforce same by summary judgment in the courts of any country having
jurisdiction over the party against whom such judgment was obtained, and each
party hereby waives any defenses available to it under local law and agrees to
the enforcement of such a judgment. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of
copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party
at its address set forth herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any
party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party waives
its right to a trial by jury. In the event that any Investor, or any person
claimed to be affiliated or associated with such Investor becomes involved in
any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against
any such person, including shareholders of the Company, in connection with or as
a result of any matter referred to in this Agreement or any exhibit annexed
hereto, the Company shall reimburse such Investor and/or those claimed to be
affiliated or associated with such Investor for its legal fees and expenses and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation)
incurred in connection therewith, as those fees and expenses are incurred,
provided, however, that if at the conclusion of such action, proceeding or
investigation it shall be finally judicially determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction, without availability of an appeal, that indemnity for such fees
and expenses is contrary to law, or that such Investor is not the prevailing
party then in that event, such Investor and/or any other person having received
such advances of fees and/or expenses shall reimburse the Company in full for
the sums advanced.
ARTICLE X

Investors) who agrees to, and truthfully can, make the representations and
warranties contained in Article III, and who agrees to be bound by the covenants
of Article V. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,

respect to the Common Stock held by such person.

Section 11.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless each of the Investors and each officer, director of the Investors or
person, if any, who controls the Investors within the meaning of the Securities
Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which
shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all
costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), to which the
Investors may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon the breach by the Company of any term of this
Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
Each Investor severally (and not jointly) agrees that it will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, and each officer, director of the Company or person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all
purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of defense
and investigation and all attorneys' fees) to which the Company or any such
officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the breach by such
Person of any term of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Escrow
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which the Investors or any subsequent assignee
may otherwise have.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than as to
the particular item as to which indemnification is then being sought solely
pursuant to this Section. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated
and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the
indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the
indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that if the indemnified party is
one of the Investors, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized in writing by the
-28-
indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Investors and the indemnifying party and the
Investors shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more
legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict
with any legal defenses which may be available to the Investors (in which case
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action on behalf of the Investors, it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable
fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the Investor(s), which
firm shall be designated in writing by the Investor(s)). No settlement of any
action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
Section 11.3 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
------------
contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) the indemnified
party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof but is
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of
competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the
last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 11.2 hereof
provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party, then the
Company and the applicable Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for
all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all costs of
defense and investigation and all attorneys' fees), in either such case (after
contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in Section 11.2 shall be deemed to include
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contributions from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Section 11.4 Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and
------------------------------------------------------------
Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Registration
-----------------
Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity
(including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no
remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's
right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate
of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein and therein with
respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall
be the amounts to be received by the Investors thereof and shall not, except as
expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or
the performance thereof). The
-29-
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Preferred Stock and
that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Furthermore, the
Company agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of Sections
6.12, 6.13, 6.14, 6.15, 8.1 or 12.6 herein or Section V of the Certificate of
Designation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach or
threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

5% BENEFICIAL OWNERS
--------------------
1. One Person (or group of Persons) has recently exceeded (or is
about to exceed) a 5% beneficial ownership of shares of the Company's Common
Stock outstanding that has not been previously disclosed. In November 1999 the
Company sold Common Stock in the amount of $500,000 at $4.00 per share to
Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc., Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
(collectively, "Liviakis Group") and entered into an amendment to its Consulting
Agreement with Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. The shares of Common
