      2.   PURCHASE OF THE WARRANTS

           2.1   PURCHASE OF THE WARRANTS.  Each Purchaser agrees to
subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to authorize
as necessary and to sell and issue to such Purchaser a Warrant to purchase
shares of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with such Purchaser's Warrant
Allocation, in consideration of, among other things, such Purchaser's agreement

according to the Warrant Allocation set forth therein, and (b) a single Warrant

will deliver to the Agent such separate Warrants in exchange for the single
Antecedent Debt Warrant, (iii) the single Metra Warrant will be divided in

separate Warrants, the Agent shall deliver each of them to the respective
Purchasers thereof.

           2.3   ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT.  The Company and each Purchaser
hereby acknowledge and agree that there is no original issue discount with
respect to the Warrants and, for all tax and accounting purposes, each of them
shall treat the Warrants in such manner.

time and is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period of time; and (e) is

      4.   COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

           The Company makes the following representations and warranties to

Company to issue any shares of any class of capital stock of the Company or any
securities convertible into such capital stock, warrants, options or other such
rights or securities.

           4.2   AUTHORIZATION OF AGREEMENT AND ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.  The
Company is authorized to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations

issuance of the Warrants.  Upon delivery of the Warrants to the Agent, the
Warrants will have been duly executed and issued and, when delivered in exchange
for the consideration set forth in SECTION 2.1, will constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.  The issuance of the Warrant Stock has been duly authorized and, when
issued upon exercise of, and pursuant to, the Warrants, will have been validly
issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all pledges,
liens, encumbrances and preemptive rights.  14,029,391 shares of Common Stock
have been duly reserved for issuance pursuant to the Warrants.

the Agent shall be delivered directly to each Purchaser then holding the
beneficial interest in any of the Securities.

           10.4  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  Any provision of this Agreement may
be amended or waived if, but only if, such


                                        8



amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company, the Agent and
the Required Purchasers; PROVIDED, that (i) the consent of one hundred percent

or the Purchasers' failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance
by the Company or any other Person of any provision of this Agreement shall not
waive, affect or diminish any right of the Agent or the Purchasers to demand
strict compliance and performance therewith.  Any suspension or waiver by the
Agent or the Purchasers of any default under this Agreement shall not suspend,
waive or affect any other default under this Agreement, whether the same is
prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type.  No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by the
Company or any other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent or the Required Purchasers or
All Purchasers, as the case may be, necessary to effectuate such waiver or
consent and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

           10.6  SECTION AND OTHER HEADINGS.  The section and other headings
contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

           10.7  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any one or more of the
