contained herein, the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, conveys and
delivers to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases and accepts
from the Seller, all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to

corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Florida.
4.2 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby,
will not result in a breach, violation or default or give rise to an event
which with the giving of notice or after the passage of time, or both,
would result in a breach, violation or default of any of the terms or
provisions of the Purchaser's Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws or of
any statute, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement, instrument or restriction to which the Purchaser is a party or
by which the Purchaser or any of its assets may be bound or affected, or
any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body
having jurisdiction over the Purchaser.
4.3 Investigation by Purchaser. Purchaser is a
sophisticated investor and has conducted its own independent review and
analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company and

knowledge about the Company to make an informed decision to enter into this
Agreement, and in making such decision is relying solely on its due
diligence and the representations and warranties contained herein.
5. Acknowledgments and Agreements of the Parties.
(1) To the maximum effort permissible under applicable law,
Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser all of its non-economic rights
associated with its ownership of the Preferred Stock, including but not
limited to the power to designate a majority of the Board of Directors of
the Company (collectively, the "Rights"). To effect the election of the
Purchaser's designees to the Board of Directors of the Company, the Seller
agrees that on the date hereof it shall appoint each of Purchaser's
designees to the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall cause each of
Seller's designees to the Board of Directors of the Company to resign.
Purchaser agrees to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law to
designate one individual specified by Seller as a member of the Board of
Directors. Except as specifically provided below, Seller agrees that it
will not convert, retire, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of
the Preferred Stock, other than the Shares (collectively, the "Restrictions
on Transfer") without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. In
addition, on the date hereof Seller agrees to execute an irrevocable proxy
in favor of Purchaser substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto with respect to the shares of the Company's common stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock owned by Seller converted with
the consent of Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(2) In the event Purchaser elects to convert, sell, retire,
hypothecate or transfer, or otherwise engage in any transaction with
respect to, all or any portion of the Shares, then, (i) it shall provide
Seller with ten (10) days prior written notice of such election and of
Seller's right to participate therein, and (ii) notwithstanding the
Restrictions on Transfer, Seller shall have the right to take the same
action as the Purchaser, or engage in the same transaction as the
Purchaser, as the case may be, with respect to the same pro rata portion of
the 98,718 shares of Preferred Stock retained by Seller.
(3) In the event the Company is delisted from NASDAQ on or
prior to June 30, 1999 because of its failure to satisfy the minimum
tangible net worth test (whether or not additional tests are met), then
Purchaser may elect, within ten business days of its receipt of
notification of delisting, to demand a refund of all prior Installment
Payments paid to Seller. Upon its receipt of notice of such election
delivered by Purchaser, Seller shall promptly refund to Purchaser any and
all Installment Payments previously received by Seller, and the obligation
of Purchaser to make future Installment Payments shall immediately
terminate. The Seller shall not be obligated under such circumstances to
refund any portion of the Initial Payment. Upon Purchaser's receipt of
such refunded Installment Payments (or upon delivery of Purchaser's notice
of Selection if no Installment Payments were paid to Seller), Purchaser
shall simultaneously re-convey to Seller fifty (50%) percent of the Shares
(a "Reconveyance").
(4) Seller hereby agrees not to pursue, except in concert
with Purchaser, any suit, action or claim against the Company, or against
any board member, employee, consultant or entity associated or affiliated
with the Company other than claims for contribution or indemnity. At the
request of Purchaser and in exchange for reciprocal releases, Seller shall
release the Company and any affiliate of the Company from any claims based
on disputes arising prior to the Closing Date, other than claims for
contribution or indemnity.
(5) Notwithstanding the Restrictions of Transfer, and in
addition to any rights it may have with respect to the sale, retirement,
hypothecation or other transfer of the Preferred Stock under Section 5(2)
hereof, Purchaser hereby agrees that Seller may convert, sell, retire,
hypothecate or transfer (i) 10,969 shares of Preferred Stock on and after
the date which is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, (ii) an
additional 10,969 shares of Preferred Stock (13,711 shares in the event of
a Reconveyance) on and after the date which is thirty-six (36) months after
the Closing Date, and (iii) an additional 10,969 shares of Preferred Stock
(13,711 in the event of Reconveyance) on and after the date which is forty-
eight (48) months after the Closing Date.
(6) Upon the earlier to occur of either (i) the date which
is five (5) years from the Closing Date or (ii) the date upon which the
closing price for the Company's common stock has equaled or exceeded Ten
($10) Dollars for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Purchaser shall
promptly reassign to Seller the Rights, and the Restrictions on Transfer
shall lapse and the Preferred Stock shall cease to be subject to the
Restrictions on Transfer.
(7) Purchaser represents that on or after February 12,
1999, the Purchaser or its designee provided not less than $250,000 in
working capital to the Company. In addition, the Purchaser agrees that it
or its designee shall provide to the Company up to an additional $500,000
over the next twelve (12) months to the extent necessary to meet the
working capital requirements of the Company.
(8) The Seller hereby agrees to restructure and extend the
payment terms of its $475,000 principal amount senior secured loan to the
Company as follows: during the period from the Closing Date to December
31, 1999 interest only will be payable by the Company to Seller with
respect to such loan. During the period January 1, 2000 to December 31,
2001 the Company will make equal quarterly payments to Seller with respect
to such loan to repay the unpaid principal and accrued interest based on a
five year amortization schedule. The Company will make a balloon payment
to Seller equal to the full unpaid principal balance and all accrued
interest on January 31, 2002.
(9) In the event Purchaser defaults in the performance of
any of its material obligations set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser
shall promptly reassign to Seller the Rights, and the Restrictions on
Transfer shall lapse and the Preferred Stock shall cease to be subject to
the Restrictions on Transfer.
6. Survival; Indemnification.
6.1 Survival; Remedy for Breach. The covenants,
agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities of the parties
hereto contained herein or in any certificate, Schedule or other writing
attached hereto, or required by the terms hereof to be delivered by
Purchaser or Seller or their respective affiliates, shall survive the
Closing for a period from the Closing Date until the expiration of the
applicable statutory period of limitations (giving effect to any waiver or
extension thereof). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in respect of which
indemnity may be sought under Section 6 hereof shall survive the time at
which it would otherwise terminate if notice of the inaccuracy or breach
thereof, which shall include with reasonable specificity the elements of
such claim, shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity
may be sought prior to such time.
6.2 Indemnification by Seller.
(1) Each of the entities comprising the Seller hereby
jointly and severally indemnify the Purchaser, its shareholders, officers,

expense of investigation and attorneys' fees and expenses in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding brought against or involving any
indemnitee) and cost (collectively, "Indemnified Amounts") incurred or
suffered by any Indemnitee arising out of any misrepresentation or breach
of warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement.
(2) The agreements and indemnities of the Seller contained
herein shall be cumulative, except that an Indemnitee shall not recover
more than once for the same Indemnified Amount.
(3) The Indemnitees agree to give notice to the Seller
promptly after learning of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement
of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to
give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder in
respect of the claim, suit, action or proceeding with respect to which such
notice was required to have been given hereunder.
(4) The Seller shall not be liable under this Section 6.2
for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim, litigation or
proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. No
investigation by Purchaser at or prior to the Closing shall relieve Seller
of any liability hereunder.
(5) The amount required to be paid to an Indemnitee by the
Seller for any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid not later than thirty (30)
days after receipt by the Seller of written notice from an Indemnitee
stating that such Indemnified Amounts have been incurred and the amount
thereof and of the related indemnity payment.
6.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser.
(1) The Purchaser hereby indemnifies the Seller against and
agrees to hold it harmless from any and all damages, loss, liability,
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
of investigation and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses in connection
with any action, suit or proceeding brought against or involving the
Seller) and cost incurred or suffered by the Seller (collectively,
"Indemnified Amounts") arising out of (i) any misrepresentation or breach
of warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any and all exercise of the Rights by
Purchaser. The agreements and indemnities of the Purchaser contained
herein shall be cumulative, except that the Seller shall not recover more
than once for the same Indemnified Amount.
(2) The Seller agrees to give notice to the Purchaser
promptly after learning of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement
of any suit, action or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be
sought hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of the Seller to give
such notice shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder in
respect of the claim, suit, action or proceeding with respect to which such
notice was required to have been given hereunder.
(3) The Purchaser shall not be liable under this Section
6.3 for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim,
litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought.
(4) The amount required to be paid to the Seller by the
Purchaser for any Indemnified Amounts hereunder shall be paid not later
than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of written notice from
the Seller, stating that such Indemnified Amounts have been incurred and
the amount thereof and of the related indemnity payment.
