valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof may be limited by

enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

                  (b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the
Company of this Agreement and the Shares, the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares, nor

(i) materially contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or
regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality; (ii) materially conflict with or result in a material breach
of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of

of the Company pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
credit agreement or loan agreement or any other agreement, contract or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which any of its property or
assets is bound or may be subject; or (iii) violate any provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the
Company.

                  (c) The Shares are, and all of the shares of Common Stock
issuable to Consultant upon exercise of the Warrant will be, validly issued,

constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Consultant enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof
may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws

(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

                  (b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by

                  8. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. (a) The Company represents that
it is current in the filing of the periodic reports required to be filed by it
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.

                  (b) Consultant represents and warrants as follows:

                           (i) Consultant is an "accredited investor," as
                  defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
                  of 1933, as amended.

                           (ii) Consultant is acquiring the Shares, the Warrant
                  and Warrant Shares for its own account, for investment
                  purposes only, and not with a view to or for the resale,
                  distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in
                  part, and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial
                  interest in the Shares, the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

                           (iii) Consultant has the financial ability to bear
                  the economic risk of its investment in the Company (including
                  its possible loss), has adequate means of providing for its
                  current needs and personal contingencies and has no need, and
                  anticipates no need in the foreseeable future for liquidity
                  with respect to its investment in the Company. In addition,
                  Consultant has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its
                  entire investment should such a loss occur.

                           (iv) Consultant has such knowledge and experience in
                  financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
                  the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, the
                  Warrant and Warrant Shares.

                  9. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Consultant and its directors, officers, employees and/or
affiliates against any and all losses, claims, damages obligations, penalties,
judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (and all
actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and
all reasonable legal or other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving
testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise),


                                       3

including, without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, and
disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing, or defending
any such action, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with
litigation to which the Consultant is a party) (collectively, the "Liabilities")
arising out of or in connection with the Consulting Services or the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Company, or the violation in any material
respect of applicable federal or state securities laws by the Company with
respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated, or necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this
provision shall not apply to any Liabilities to the extent found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, gross
negligence or violation in any material respect of applicable federal or state
securities laws, of Consultant to the extent set forth in Section 9(b) hereof.

                  (b) Consultant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and its directors, officers, employees and/or affiliates against any
and all Liabilities arising out of or in connection with the violation in any
material respect of applicable federal or state securities laws by Consultant
arising out of or in connection with the Consulting Services hereunder or with
respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated, or necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, but only if and to the extent that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in writing by
Consultant specifically for inclusion in any registration statement, prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto in connection with any underwritten
public offering involving the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision
shall not apply to any Liabilities to the extent found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, gross negligence or
violation in any material respect of applicable federal or state securities
laws, of the Company to the extent set forth in Section 9(a) hereof.

                  (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement (the "Indemnified Party"), shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnifying Party") with reasonable
promptness after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to
which indemnity may be sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 9. Upon receipt of such
notice, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom. The Indemnified Party may, however, participate
in such defense at such Indemnified Party's sole expense. The Indemnified Party
shall furnish such information regarding the claim in question as the
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing in connection with the
defense of any such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

                  (d) The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

                  10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to constitute the parties hereto as partners or as joint venturers, or
either as agent of the other, or as employer or employee. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, Consultant acknowledges that it is not an officer,
director or agent of the Company, it is not and will not be responsible for any
management decisions on behalf of the Company, and may not commit the Company to
any action. The Company represents that Consultant does not have, through stock
ownership or otherwise, the power to control the Company, nor to exercise any
dominating influence over its management. Consultant understands and
acknowledges that this Agreement shall not create or imply any agency
relationship between the parties, and Consultant will not commit Company in any
manner except when a commitment has been specifically authorized in writing by
the Company. The parties hereto acknowledge that Consultant shall be engaged
solely on an independent contractor basis hereunder.

                  11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

that service of process may be made in any manner acceptable for use in the
courts of the State of New York.

                  (b) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties and merges and supersedes any
prior understandings or agreements, whether written or oral. The provisions of
this Agreement shall be amended or waived only with the written consent of both
parties hereto.

                  (c) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Consultant and the
Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

                  (e) ASSIGNABILITY. Neither this Agreement nor any right,
remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be
assignable by either the Company or Consultant without the prior written consent
of the other party hereto.

                  (f) SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision hereof

                  (g) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same
agreement.

                  (h) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereby acknowledge and
agree that the Shares, the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares are unique and not
otherwise available, and that, in addition to any other remedies, Consultant may
elect, at its sole option, to invoke any equitable remedies to enforce delivery
of the Shares, the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares hereunder. In addition, the
parties recognize that, because of the nature of the subject matter of this
Agreement, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine actual
damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company
commits a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, then the Consultant
shall have the right to seek and receive a temporary restraining order,
injunction or other equitable remedy, including without limitation, the right to
have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having
equity jurisdiction.

                  12. CANCELLATION OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS. The parties
acknowledge that Consultant is the holder of warrant certificates issued by the
Company entitling the holder thereof to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, 250,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and 250,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share
(collectively, the "Old Warrants"). In consideration of the mutual covenants of
the parties herein and the grant of the Warrant, the Old Warrants are hereby
cancelled immediately and are no longer exercisable, transferable or in effect
for any pupose.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
of the date first written above.
