                                                        Financing Agreement


                     Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars in the aggregate

              i.     Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation
                     proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any
                     bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall

of notice, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of
which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other
instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may
immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided
herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.

upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or
receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any
rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent
converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

       10.    The obligation of the Company for payment of principal, interest
and all other sums hereunder is secured by Security Interest Provisions between
the Company and the Holder as set forth in the Annex to the Bridge Loan
Financing Agreement.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
