3.       THE PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         Each Purchaser severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the
Company as follows:

         a. Purchase for Own Account. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities
for the  Purchaser's  own  account  and not  with a  present  view  towards  the
distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands that the Purchaser must bear the
economic  risk  of this  investment  indefinitely,  unless  the  Securities  are
registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or
blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available,  and that the
Company has no present  intention of registering any such Securities  other than
as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3(a)
to the contrary, by making the foregoing representation,  the Purchaser does not
agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the  right  to  dispose  of the  Securities  at any time in  accordance  with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

         b.  Information.   The  Purchaser  has  been  furnished  all  materials
(excluding  any  material  nonpublic  information)  relating  to  the  business,
finances  and  operations  of the Company  and its  subsidiaries  and  materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by the
Purchaser,  including without  limitation,  receipt of a copy of the Term Sheet.
The Purchaser has been afforded the  opportunity to ask questions of the Company
and has received what the Purchaser  believes to be satisfactory  answers to any
inquiries.  The Purchaser  understands  that its  investment  in the  Securities
involves  a high  degree  of risk.  Neither  such  inquiries  nor any  other due
diligence  investigation conducted by the Purchaser or its counsel or any of its
representatives  shall modify,  amend or affect the Purchaser's right to rely on
the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 4 below.

         c. Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States
federal  or state  agency or any other  government  or  governmental  agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

         d.  Authorization;  Enforcement.  The Purchaser has the requisite power
and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and
to purchase the Securities in accordance  with the terms hereof.  This Agreement
has been duly and validly  authorized,  executed and  delivered on behalf of the
Purchaser  and is a valid and binding  agreement  of the  Purchaser  enforceable
against  the  Purchaser  in  accordance  with its terms,  subject to  applicable
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,  moratorium,  fraudulent  transfer and
other laws  affecting  creditors'  rights and remedies  generally and to general
principles  of  equity  (regardless  of  whether  enforcement  is  sought  in  a
proceeding at law or in equity).

         e.  Transfer or Resale.  The Purchaser  understands  that (i) except as
provided in Section 5 of this  Agreement,  the Securities  have not been and are
not being  registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and
may not be transferred unless (a) subsequently registered thereunder, or (b) the
Purchaser  shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel  reasonably
acceptable to the Company (which  opinion shall be in form,  substance and scope
customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that
the  Securities to be sold or transferred  may be sold or  transferred  under an
exemption  from such  registration,  and (ii)  neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such Securities  under the Securities
Act or any state  securities  laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of
any exemption thereunder, in each case, other than pursuant to this Agreement.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         f.  Legends.  The  Purchaser  understands  that,  until  the end of the
holding  period  under  Rule  144(k)  of the  Securities  Act (or any  successor
provision) with respect to the Securities,  any stock  certificate  representing
the Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

         THE SECURITIES (AND ANY SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES
         ARE EXERCISABLE) REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
         REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  OR
         THE  SECURITIES  LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED  STATES.  THE
         SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  HEREBY  MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN
         THE ABSENCE OF AN  EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  FOR THE
         SECURITIES  UNDER  APPLICABLE  SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED,
         SOLD OR  TRANSFERRED  UNDER AN  AVAILABLE  EXEMPTION  FROM THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

         The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue
the Securities without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it
is stamped,  (i) if such Securities have been resold or transferred  pursuant to
the registration  statement  contemplated by Section 5 of this Agreement and the
registration  statement was effective at the time of such transfer,  (ii) if, in
connection  with a sale  transaction,  such holder  provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel  reasonably  acceptable  to the  Company to the effect that a
public  sale,  assignment,  pledge or  transfer  of the  Securities  may be made
without  registration  under the Securities Act, or (iii) upon expiration of the
two-year period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule).
The Company shall not require such opinion of counsel for the sale of Securities
in  accordance  with Rule 144 of the  Securities  Act,  provided that the seller
provides  such   representations  that  the  Company  shall  reasonably  request
confirming compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.

         Such  Purchaser   understands   that,  in  the  event  Rule  144(k)  as
promulgated  under the  Securities  Act (or any  successor  rule) is  amended to
change the two-year period under Rule 144(k) (or the corresponding  period under
any successor  rule),  (i) each  reference in Section 3(f) of this  Agreement to
"two (2) years" or the  "two-year  period"  shall be deemed for all  purposes of
this  Agreement  to  be  references  to  such  changed  period,   and  (ii)  all
corresponding  references in the Securities  shall be deemed for all purposes to
be references to the changed period, provided that such changes shall not become
effective  if they are  otherwise  prohibited  by,  or would  otherwise  cause a
violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws.

         g. Investor  Status.  The Purchaser is an "accredited  investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501  Regulation  D under the  Securities  Act. In the normal
course of its  business,  it invests in or purchases  securities  similar to the
Securities  and it has such  knowledge and  experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating  the merits and risks of  purchasing  the
Securities.   The  information  regarding  the  Purchaser  in  the  Confidential
Offeree-Purchaser  Questionnaire  included  with the Term Sheet is accurate  and
complete.

                                       5
<PAGE>

         h.  General   Solicitation.   Such  Purchaser  is  not  purchasing  the
Securities  as  a  result  of  any  advertisement,   article,  notice  or  other
communication  regarding the Securities published in any newspaper,  magazine or
similar media or broadcast over  television or radio or presented at any seminar
or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

         i. Residence.  If such Purchaser is an individual,  then such Purchaser
resides in the state or province identified in the address of such Purchaser set
forth  on the  signature  page  hereto;  if  such  Purchaser  is a  partnership,
corporation,  limited  liability  company  or other  entity,  then the office or
offices of such Purchaser in which its  investment  decision was made is located
at the address or addresses  of such  Purchaser  (or if a registered  investment
advisor  is  used,  the  address  of the  main  office  of the  Purchaser  where
investment decisions are generally made) set forth on the signature page hereto.

         j. No Trading Activity nor "Short Sales".  Each Purchaser  acknowledges
that applicable securities laws prohibit any person who has material, non-public
information  concerning the matters which are the subject of this Agreement from
purchasing  or selling  securities  of the Company  (and  options,  warrants and
rights relating  thereto) and from  communicating  such information to any other
person  under  circumstances  in which it is  reasonably  foreseeable  that such
person is likely to purchase or sell such  securities.  Each Purchaser agrees to
comply at all times with such securities  laws.  Without limiting the generality
of the  foregoing,  each  Purchaser  agrees not to purchase  or sell  (including
without  limitation  any  "short  sales",  as such term is  defined in Rule 3b-3
promulgated  under the Exchange Act) any  securities of the Company  (other than
the Securities being purchased hereby) until at least one business day after the
Company has filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K or other appropriate
report  disclosing the terms of this  Agreement and the related  offering of the
Securities.  In addition,  each Purchaser agrees not to sell (including  without
limitation,  any "short  sales") any  securities of the Company until the Resale
Registration Statement (as defined in Section 5.a. hereof) is declared effective
by the SEC.

4.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:

         a.  Organization  and  Qualification.  Each  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries is a corporation  duly organized and existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is incorporated,  and has the requisite corporate power
to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.  Each
of the Company and its  subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign  corporation
to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where the
failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.

         b.  Authorization;  Enforcement.  (i) The  Company  has  the  requisite
corporate  power and authority to enter into and perform its  obligations  under
this  Agreement,  to issue and sell the Securities in accordance  with the terms
hereof;  (ii) the execution,  delivery and  performance of this Agreement by the
Company  and the  consummation  by it of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby
(including, without limitation, the reservation for issuance and issuance of the
Securities;  provided  that the Company need not reserve for any Late Fee Shares
unless and until it shall  determine  to issue any such  Shares)  have been duly
authorized  by the  Company's  Board of  Directors  and no  further  consent  or
authorization  of the Company,  its Board of Directors  or its  shareholders  is
required;  (iii) this  Agreement  has been duly  executed  and  delivered by the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company;  and (iv) this Agreement  constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
the  Company  enforceable  against  the  Company in  accordance  with its terms,
subject  to  applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,   moratorium,
fraudulent  transfer  and other laws  affecting  creditors'  rights and remedies
generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

         c.  Capitalization.  The  capitalization of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries  as of February 20, 2004 is set forth on Schedule  4(c),  including
the authorized  capital stock, the number of shares issued and outstanding,  the
number of shares  issuable and reserved for issuance  pursuant to the  Company's
stock  option  plans,  the number of shares  issuable  and reserved for issuance
pursuant to securities  exercisable for, or convertible into or exchangeable for
any shares of capital  stock.  All of such  outstanding  shares of the Company's
capital stock have been, or upon issuance will be,  validly  issued,  fully paid
and  nonassessable.  Except as set forth on Schedule  4(c), no shares of capital
stock of the Company  (including the Securities) or any of the  subsidiaries are
subject to preemptive  rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of
the Company or any liens or encumbrances created by the Company.  Except for the
Securities and as disclosed in Schedule 4(c), as of the date of this  Agreement,
(i) there are no outstanding options,  warrants,  scrip, rights to subscribe to,
calls or commitments of any character  whatsoever to which the Company or any of
the  subsidiaries  is a party  relating to the issuance by the Company or any of
its  subsidiaries  of securities or rights  convertible  into or  exercisable or
exchangeable  for,  any  shares of  capital  stock of the  Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
or may become bound to issue  additional  shares of capital stock of the Company
or such  subsidiaries,  and (ii) there are no agreements or  arrangements  under
which the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  is obligated to register the sale
of  any  of  its or  their  securities  under  the  Securities  Act  (except  as
contemplated by this Agreement). Except as set forth on Schedule 4(c), there are
no securities or instruments containing  antidilution or similar provisions that
may be triggered by the issuance of the Securities in accordance  with the terms
of this  Agreement.  The Company has made  available to each  Purchaser true and
correct copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the
date hereof ("CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION"), the Company's By-laws as in effect
on the date hereof (the  "BY-LAWS")  and all other  instruments  and  agreements
governing securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital
stock of the Company, except for stock options granted under any benefit plan of
the Company.

         d. Issuance of Securities.  The Securities are duly authorized and when
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued,
fully  paid and  non-assessable,  and free from all  taxes,  liens,  claims  and
encumbrances  (other  than  those  imposed  through  acts  or  omissions  of the
Purchaser  thereof),  and will not be  subject  to  preemptive  rights  or other
similar  rights of  shareholders  of the  Company  and will not impose  personal
liability upon the holder thereof.

         e. No  Conflicts.  The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of this
Agreement  by  the  Company,   and  the  consummation  by  the  Company  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the reservation
for  issuance  and issuance of the  Securities)  will not (i)  conflict  with or
result in a violation of the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or By-laws or (ii)
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which,  with notice or lapse
of time or both,  would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture
or instrument  to which the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  is a party,  or
result in a violation of any law, rule,  regulation,  order,  judgment or decree
(assuming the accuracy of the  representations and warranties of the Purchasers)
of  the  United  States  federal  and  state  securities  laws  and  regulations
applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries  is bound or affected  (except,
with  respect  to  clause  (ii),  for such  conflicts,  defaults,  terminations,
amendments,   accelerations,   cancellations   and   violations  as  would  not,
individually or in the aggregate,  have a Material Adverse Effect).  Neither the
Company  nor any of its  subsidiaries  is in  violation  of its  Certificate  of
Incorporation,  By-laws  and other  organizational  documents  and  neither  the
Company nor any of its  subsidiaries  is in default  (and no event has  occurred
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would put the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in default)  under,  nor has there occurred any event giving others
(with  notice or lapse of time or both) any  rights of  termination,  amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, except for actual or possible
violations,  defaults or rights as would not,  individually or in the aggregate,
have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  The  businesses  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  are not being  conducted  in  violation  of any law,  ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except for actual or possible violations,
if any, the sanctions for which either singly or in the aggregate would not have
a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement
and as required under the Securities  Act and any  applicable  state  securities
laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization
or order of, or make any filing or registration  with, any court or governmental
agency or any regulatory or self  regulatory  agency in order for it to execute,
deliver or perform any of its  obligations  under this  Agreement in  accordance
with the terms hereof.

         f. SEC  Documents;  Financial  Statements.  Since January 1, 2003,  the
Company has timely filed all reports,  schedules,  forms,  statements  and other
documents  required to be filed by it with the SEC  pursuant  to the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended  (the  "EXCHANGE  ACT"),  and has  filed all
registration  statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the

all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and
documents  incorporated by reference therein,  being hereinafter  referred to as
the "SEC DOCUMENTS").  The Company has made available to each Purchaser true and
complete  copies of the SEC  Documents,  except for the exhibits  and  schedules

the SEC Documents  complied as to form with the requirements of the Exchange Act
or the Securities  Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the
SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents,  and none of the SEC
Documents,  at the time they  were  filed  with the SEC,  contained  any  untrue
statement of a material  fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the  circumstances  under which they were made, not  misleading.  Any statements
made in any such  SEC  Documents  that are or were  required  to be  updated  or
amended  under  applicable  law have been so  updated  or  amended.  As of their
respective  dates,  the financial  statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents  complied as to form with applicable  accounting  requirements and the

                                       8
<PAGE>

published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such
financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  United  States
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  consistently  applied,  during the
periods  involved  (except (i) as may be otherwise  indicated in such  financial
statements  or the  notes  thereto,  or (ii) in the  case of  unaudited  interim
statements,  to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or
summary  statements) and fairly present the consolidated  financial  position of
the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  as of the dates  thereof and the results of
their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
of unaudited  statements,  to normal and recurring year-end audit  adjustments).
Except  as set  forth in the SEC  Documents,  the  Company  has no  liabilities,
contingent or  otherwise,  other than (i)  liabilities  incurred in the ordinary
course  of  business  subsequent  to the  date of such  SEC  Documents  and (ii)
obligations  under contracts and commitments  incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted  accounting  principles to be
reflected in such SEC Documents,  which liabilities and obligations  referred to
in clauses  (i) and (ii),  individually  or in the  aggregate,  would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

         g.  Absence  of  Certain  Changes.  Except  as  disclosed  in  the  SEC
Documents,  since January 1, 2003, there has been no change or development which
individually  or in the  aggregate  has had or  could  have a  Material  Adverse
Effect.

         h. Absence of  Litigation.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4(h) or the
SEC Documents,  there is no action, suit,  proceeding,  inquiry or investigation
before  or by  any  court,  public  board,  government  agency,  self-regulatory
organization  or body pending or, to the  knowledge  of the Company,  threatened
against or affecting the Company,  or any of its  subsidiaries,  or any of their
directors  or officers in their  capacities  as such which would have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         i. Intellectual  Property.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4(i) or the
SEC Documents,  the Company and each of its subsidiaries  owns or is licensed to
use all patents, patent applications,  trademarks, trademark applications, trade
names, service marks,  copyrights,  copyright applications,  licenses,  permits,
know-how  (including  trade  secrets and other  unpatented  and/or  unpatentable
proprietary  or  confidential  information,  systems  or  procedures)  and other
similar rights and proprietary knowledge (collectively, "INTANGIBLES") necessary
for the  conduct of its  business as now being  conducted  and as proposed to be
conducted,  the failure of which to have would have a Material  Adverse  Effect.
Other than as disclosed in the Company's SEC Documents,  neither the Company nor
any of its  subsidiaries  has received written notice that it is infringing upon
or in conflict with any third party Intangibles.  Other than as disclosed in the
Company's SEC  Documents,  neither the Company nor any of its  subsidiaries  has
entered  into any consent,  indemnification,  forbearance  to sue or  settlement
agreements  with respect to the validity of the  Company's or such  subsidiary's
ownership  or  right to use its  Intangibles.  The  Intangibles  are  valid  and
enforceable,  and no registration  relating thereto has lapsed,  expired or been
abandoned  or canceled or is the subject of  cancellation  or other  adversarial
proceedings, and all applications therefor are pending and in good standing. The

                                       9
<PAGE>

Company has complied with its contractual obligations relating to the protection
of the Intangibles  used pursuant to licenses.  To the Company's  knowledge,  no
person  is  infringing  on or  violating  the  Intangibles  owned or used by the
Company.

         j. Acknowledgment Regarding the Purchasers' Purchase of the Securities.
The Company  acknowledges  and agrees that no Purchaser is acting as a financial
advisor or is acting as a fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar  capacity)
with respect to this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated hereby, and the
relationship  between the Company and the  Purchasers  is "arms length" and that
any statement made by any Purchaser or any of its  representatives  or agents in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions  contemplated  hereby is not
advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to such Purchaser's purchase
of  Securities  and has not been relied  upon by the  Company,  its  officers or
directors in any way. The Company  further  represents to the Purchaser that the
Company's  decision  to enter into this  Agreement  has been based  solely on an
independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

         k. No  Brokers.  Except for the  Placement  Agent,  the Company has not
engaged any person to which or to whom  brokerage  commissions,  finder's  fees,
financial advisory fees or similar payments are or will become due in connection
with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

         l. Tax Status.  The Company  and each of its  subsidiaries  has made or
filed all  material  federal,  state and local income and all other tax returns,
reports and  declarations  required by any  jurisdiction  to which it is subject
(unless and only to the extent that the Company or the applicable subsidiary has
set aside on its books  provisions  adequate  for the  payment of all unpaid and
unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental  assessments and
charges  that are  material  in amount,  shown or  determined  to be due on such
returns,  reports and  declarations,  except those being contested in good faith
and has set aside on its books provisions  adequate for the payment of all taxes
for  periods  subsequent  to the  periods  to which  such  returns,  reports  or
declarations  apply. There are no material unpaid taxes claimed to be due by the
taxing authority of any jurisdiction. The Company has not executed a waiver with
respect to any statute of  limitations  relating to the assessment or collection
of any federal,  state or local tax. None of the Company's tax returns have been
or is being audited by any taxing authority.

         m.  No  General  Solicitation.  Neither  the  Company  nor  any  person
participating on the Company's behalf in the  transactions  contemplated  hereby
has conducted any "general  solicitation" or "general advertising" as such terms
are used in  Regulation D, with respect to any of the  Securities  being offered
hereby.

         n. Securities Laws. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor
any person acting on its or their behalf, has, directly or indirectly,  made any
offers or sales of any  security  or  solicited  any offers to buy any  security
under  circumstances  that would require  registration  of the Securities  being
offered  hereby under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to
be integrated  with any prior offering of securities of the Company for purposes
of the Securities  Act.  Assuming the truth and accuracy of the  representations
and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Section 3 of this  Agreement,  the
Purchasers  will not be  statutory  underwriters  within the  meaning of Section
2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

         o. Form SB-2 or S-2 Eligibility.  The Company is currently  eligible to
register the resale of its Common Stock on a registration statement on either or
both of Form SB-2 under the Securities Act or Form S-2 under the Securities Act.
As to whichever  form the Company shall elect to file (be that Form SB-2 or Form
S-2), there exist no facts or circumstances  (including  without  limitation any

                                       10
<PAGE>

required approvals or waivers of any circumstances that may delay or prevent the
obtaining of accountant's consents) that would prohibit or delay the preparation
and  filing  of a  registration  statement  on such  Form  with  respect  to the
Registrable Securities.

         p.  Disclosure.  The  Company  confirms  that  neither it nor any other
person acting on its behalf has provided any of the  Purchasers or its agents or
counsel with any  information  that  constitutes  or might  constitute  material
non-public  information  (other than  information  necessary to  consummate  the
transaction  contemplated  by  this  Agreement).  The  Company  understands  and
confirms that the Purchasers  shall be relying on the foregoing  representations
in effecting  transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided
to the  Purchasers  regarding  the Company,  its  business and the  transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement,  furnished by or
on behalf of the  Company  are true and  correct  and do not  contain any untrue
statement  of a material  fact or omit to state any material  fact  necessary in
order to make the statements made therein,  in light of the circumstances  under
which they were made, not misleading.

         q.  Internal  Accounting  Controls.  The Company  maintains a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions  are executed in accordance with  management's  general or specific
authorizations,   (ii)   transactions   are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  and to maintain  asset  accountability,  (iii) access to
assets is permitted  only in accordance  with  management's  general or specific
authorization,  and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.

         r.  Insurance.  The Company will  continue to be insured by insurers of
recognized  financial  responsibility  against such property and casualty losses
and  risks and in such  amounts  as are  commensurate  with  similarly  situated
companies engaged in businesses  similar to those of the Company.

         s.  Regulatory Permits. The Company possess all material  certificates,
authorizations  and permits issued by the appropriate  federal,  state, local or
foreign regulatory  authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses
as  currently  conducted  (the  "PERMITS"),  the  failure  of  which to have and
maintain could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
Company has not  received  any  written  notice of  proceedings  relating to the
revocation or modification of any such Permit.

5.       REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         a.       The Company shall:

         (i) as promptly as practicable, but not later than forty five (45) days
after the Initial Closing Date of this Agreement (the "FILING DEADLINE"),  cause
to be filed  with the SEC a  registration  statement  on Form SB-2  (or,  at the
Company's  option,  on Form S-2) pursuant to Rule 415 under the  Securities  Act
(the "RESALE REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), which Resale Registration Statement shall
provide for the offer and sale of all Registrable  Securities held by Purchasers
that have  provided the  information  required  pursuant to the terms of Section
5(b) hereof;

                                       11
<PAGE>

         (ii) use its reasonable  best efforts to cause the Resale  Registration
Statement to be declared  effective by the SEC as promptly as  practicable,  but
not later than: (x) 90 days after the Initial Closing Date in the event that the
SEC shall provide notice to the Company that such Resale Registration  Statement
is cleared to become  effective  and will not be  reviewed by the SEC or (y) 120
days after the Initial  Closing Date in the event the SEC  determines  to review
the Resale Registration Statement (as applicable, the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE");
and

         (iii) use its reasonable  best efforts to keep the Resale  Registration
Statement  continuously  effective,  supplemented  and  amended  subject  to the
provisions  of  Section  5(d)  hereof  (subject  to the right of the  Company to
suspend the use of the Resale Registration Statement by delivery of a Suspension
Notice in accordance with Section 5(d) hereof) to the extent necessary to ensure
that it (A) is available for resales of Registrable Securities by the Purchasers
to the benefit of this Agreement and (B) conforms with the  requirements of this
Agreement  and the  Securities  Act and the  rules  and  regulations  of the SEC
promulgated  thereunder  as  announced  from  time to time,  for a  period  (the
"EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD") ending on the earlier of (A) the second anniversary date
of the Initial  Closing Date, (B) the date on which all  Registrable  Securities
purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement have been sold thereunder
or  (C)  the  date  on  which  the   Registrable   Securities  can  be  sold  by
non-affiliates  of the Company  pursuant to Rule  144(k)  promulgated  under the
Securities Act.

         b. The Company  hereby agrees to promptly pay damages  ("Late Fees") to
each  Purchaser for each  consecutive  thirty (30) day period  following (i) the
Filing Deadline (in the event the Company fails to file the Resale  Registration
Statement  on or before that date) and (ii) the  Effectiveness  Deadline (in the
event the Resale  Registration  Statement is not declared effective on or before
that date) in an amount  determined as follows:  (x) with respect to the initial
such 30 day period,  an amount equal to five  percent  (5%) of such  Purchaser's
Investment  Amount,  and (y)  with  respect  to each  successive  30 day  period
thereafter,  an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such Purchaser's Investment
Amount;  provided,  however, that no Late Fees shall be payable pursuant to this
Section  5(b) after such date that the Resale  Registration  Statement  is filed
with the SEC or the Resale  Registration  Statement  is declared  effective,  as
applicable,  and further provided that in no event shall the aggregate Late Fees
payable   hereunder  exceed  twenty  five  percent  (25%)  of  such  Purchaser's
Investment Amount.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Wellington shall have the sole power
and  authority  to (i) grant the  Company an  extension  or waiver of the Filing
Deadline and  Effectiveness  Deadline  and (ii) waive or reduce,  in whole or in
part,  any or all of the Late Fees  which  would  otherwise  be  payable  to any
Purchaser  pursuant to the  provisions  of this Section 5.b.  Late Fees shall be
payable,  at the  option  of the  Company,  in (i)  cash  or  other  immediately
available  funds,  (ii) by the  issuance of  additional  shares of Common  Stock
("Late Fee Shares"),  or (iii) any  combination  of the methods in the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii).  In the event the Company  shall elect to deliver Late Fee
Shares,  each such Share shall be valued for purposes of payment of the Late Fee
at Fifty Seven Cents ($.57) per share (as adjusted for any stock split,  reverse
stock split, stock combination or similar event).

                                       12
<PAGE>

         c. No Purchaser  may include any of its  Registrable  Securities in the
Resale  Registration  Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless such Purchaser
furnishes to the Company in writing,  prior to or on the 10th Business Day after
such Purchaser's  receipt from the Company of the Purchaser  Questionnaire (such
applicable deadline, the "QUESTIONNAIRE  DEADLINE"),  such information regarding
the Purchaser and the distribution of Registrable  Securities as the Company may
reasonably request for use in connection with the Resale Registration  Statement
or Prospectus or preliminary  Prospectus included therein and in any application
to be filed with or under state  securities  laws (the form of which  request is
attached as Appendix A hereto regarding the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers
and is referred to herein as the "PURCHASER QUESTIONNAIRE").  In connection with
all requests for  information  from the Purchasers  with respect to inclusion of
Registrable Securities in the Resale Registration  Statement,  the Company shall
notify such Purchasers of the requirements set forth in the preceding  sentence.
The  Company  agrees  and  undertakes  that  it  shall  distribute  a  Purchaser
Questionnaire no later than 10 Business Days prior to the initial  effectiveness
of the Resale Registration  Statement to each Purchaser.  Purchasers that do not
complete the Purchaser  Questionnaire and timely deliver it to the Company shall
not be named as  selling  security  holders  in the  Prospectus  or  preliminary
Prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement and therefore shall not
be  permitted  to  sell  any  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to  the  Resale
Registration  Statement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  upon  request from a
Purchaser  that  did not  return a  Purchaser  Questionnaire  on a timely  basis
because it was a  subsequent  transferee  of  Registrable  Securities  after the
Company  distributed  the  Purchaser   Questionnaire,   (i)  the  Company  shall
distribute a Purchaser  Questionnaire to such Purchaser at the address set forth
in  the  request  and  (ii)  upon  receipt  of a  properly  completed  Purchaser
Questionnaire from such Purchaser,  the Company shall use its reasonable efforts
to name such Purchaser as a selling security holder by means of an amendment or,
if  permitted  by the SEC,  by means of a  Prospectus  supplement  to the Resale
Registration  Statement.  Each  Purchaser  as to which the  Resale  Registration
Statement  is being  effected  agrees to furnish  promptly  to the  Company  all
information  required to be  disclosed in order to make  information  previously
furnished to the Company by such Purchaser not materially misleading.

         d. In connection with the Resale  Registration  Statement,  the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such  registration to permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities, and pursuant thereto, shall prepare and file
with the SEC a Resale Registration Statement relating to the registration of the
Registrable Securities.

            In  connection  with  the  Resale  Registration  Statement  and  any
Prospectus  required  by  this  Agreement  to  permit  the  sale  or  resale  of
Registrable Securities, the Company shall:

            (i)  Subject to any notice by the  Company of the  existence  of any
fact or event of the kind  described in Section 5(e) and the Company's  right to
invoke a Suspension Period in the manner described in this Section 5(d)(i),  use
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to keep  the  Resale  Registration  Statement
continuously  effective during the Effectiveness  Period; upon the occurrence of
any event that would cause the Resale  Registration  Statement or the Prospectus
contained therein to (A) contain a material  misstatement or omission or (B) not
be  effective  and  usable  for  resale of  Registrable  Securities  during  the
Effectiveness  Period, unless a Suspension Period is then in effect, the Company
shall  file  promptly  an  appropriate  amendment  to  the  Resale  Registration
Statement,  a  supplement  to the  Prospectus  or a  report  filed  with the SEC
pursuant to Section 13(a),  13(c),  14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case


                                       13
<PAGE>


of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of
either  clause (A) or (B),  use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to cause such
amendment to be declared effective and the Resale Registration Statement and the
related  Prospectus  to become  usable for their  intended  purposes  as soon as
practicable thereafter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Company may suspend
the effectiveness of the Resale Registration  Statement by written notice to the
Purchasers  for a period not to exceed an  aggregate  of 60 days in any  360-day
period (each such period,  a  "SUSPENSION  PERIOD");  provided  that the Company
shall  promptly  notify  each  Purchaser  in  writing  of the date on which  the
Suspension  Period will begin and the date on which the  Suspension  Period ends
and no single Suspension Period shall exceed 30 days.

            (ii)   Prepare   and  file   with  the  SEC  such   amendments   and
post-effective  amendments  to  the  Resale  Registration  Statement  as  may be
necessary  to keep  the  Resale  Registration  Statement  effective  during  the
Effectiveness  Period;  cause the Prospectus to be  supplemented by any required
Prospectus  supplement,  and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
(it being understood that the Company shall not be required to file a Prospectus
supplement  pursuant to Rule 424(b) with respect to any Purchaser that failed to
submit their Purchaser  Questionnaire by the  Questionnaire  Deadline) under the
Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable  provisions of Rules 424
and 430A  under the  Securities  Act in a timely  manner;  and  comply  with the
provisions  of  the  Securities  Act  with  respect  to the  disposition  of all
Registrable  Securities covered by the Resale Registration  Statement during the
applicable  period  in  accordance  with  the  intended  method  or  methods  of
distribution  by the  sellers  thereof  set  forth  in the  Resale  Registration
Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus.

         e.  Each  Purchaser   agrees  that,  upon  receipt  of  any  notice  (a
"SUSPENSION  NOTICE")  from  the  Company  of the  existence  of any fact or the
happening  of any  event,  during  the  Effectiveness  Period,  that  makes  any
statement  of a material  fact made in the Resale  Registration  Statement,  the
Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by
reference  therein  untrue,  or that  requires the making of any additions to or
changes in the Resale Registration  Statement or the Prospectus in order to make
the  statements  therein  not  misleading,   such  Purchaser  shall  discontinue
disposition  of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to the  Resale  Registration
Statement and any use of the associated Prospectus until:

            (i) such  Purchaser  has  received  copies  of the  supplemented  or
amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(d) hereof; or

            (ii) such  Purchaser  is advised in writing by the Company  that the
use of the Prospectus may be resumed,  and has received copies of any additional
or  supplemental  filings that are part of or  incorporated  by reference in the
Prospectus.

         Each  Purchaser  agrees to keep the receipt of a Suspension  Notice and
its contents  confidential.  If so directed by the Company,  each Purchaser will
deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Purchaser's  possession,  of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
that was current at the time of receipt of such Suspension Notice.


                                       14
<PAGE>


         The Company  agrees that the  Suspension  Notice  shall not include any
material non-public  information other than such information necessary to inform
the Purchasers that a Suspension Period has been implemented.

         f. All expenses incident to the Company's  performance of or compliance
with Section 5 of this  Agreement  shall be borne by the Company  regardless  of
whether a Resale Registration  Statement becomes effective,  including,  without
limitation:

            (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses;

            (ii) all fees and  expenses  of  compliance  with  federal and state
securities laws;

            (iii) all expenses of printing  (including  printing of Prospectuses
and certificates for the Common Stock) and the Company's  expenses for messenger
and delivery services and telephone;

            (iv) all fees and  disbursements  of counsel to the  Company and all
transfer agent fees;

            (v) all  application  and filing fees in connection with listing (or
authorizing for quotation) the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or
automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and

            (vi) all fees and  disbursements  of  independent  certified  public
accountants of the Company.

         Each   Purchaser   shall  bear  all  costs   associated   with  selling
commissions,  discounts and expenses of any financial or legal advisors  engaged
to review the Resale Registration Statement.

         The Company  shall  permit the  Purchasers  and their legal  counsel to
review and comment upon the Resale Registration  Statement at least two Business
Days prior to their  filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to
which Purchasers reasonably object in a timely manner.

         g. Each Purchaser  acknowledges and agrees that the Company may include
for  registration  in the  Resale  Registration  Statement  additional  or other
securities held by other parties (including for this purpose any Purchasers whom
have  also  previously   acquired  securities  from  the  Company)  pursuant  to
registration rights granted to such parties.

         h. The  Company  covenants  and agrees that it will not cause to become
effective any other registration  statement (other than a registration statement
on  Forms  S-4 or S-8 or any  successor  form to  such  Forms)  relating  to its
securities prior to the date that the Resale Registration  Statement is declared
effective.

6.   COVENANTS.

         a. Satisfaction of Conditions. The parties shall use their best efforts
to satisfy in a timely manner each of the  conditions set forth in Section 7 and
Section 8 of this Agreement.


                                       15
<PAGE>


         b.  Form D;  Blue Sky Laws.  The  Company  agrees to file a Form D with
respect  to the  Shares as  required  under  Regulation  D and to provide a copy
thereof to each Purchaser  promptly after such filing.  The Company shall, on or
before the  Closing  Date,  take such  action as the  Company  shall  reasonably
determine is necessary to qualify the Shares for sale to the Purchasers pursuant
to this Agreement under  applicable  securities or "blue sky" laws of the states
of the United States or obtain exemption  therefrom,  and shall provide evidence
of any such action so taken to each Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date.

         c.  Reporting  Status.  So long as a  Purchaser  beneficially  owns any
Shares or has the right to acquire any Shares  pursuant to this  Agreement,  the
Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant
to the Exchange Act, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to
file  reports  under the  Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

         d. Use of Proceeds.  The Company  shall use the net  proceeds  from the
sale of the Shares for  general  business  purposes,  but in no event  shall the
Company use such net proceeds to repurchase  any  outstanding  securities of the
Company.

         e. Listing. On the Closing Date, the Company shall have applied for the
listing of the Shares, in each case, upon each national  securities exchange and
automated  quotation  system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then
listed or quoted and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock
shall be so  listed,  such  listing  of all  Shares  from time to time  issuable
hereunder. The Parties acknowledge that as of the Closing Date, the Company does
not have any  shares of Common  Stock so listed or quoted and that the shares of
Common Stock currently trade on the over-the-counter bulletin board.

         f. No  Integrated  Offerings.  The Company shall not make any offers or
sales of any security  (other than the Shares)  under  circumstances  that would
require  registration  of the Shares being offered or sold  hereunder  under the
Securities Act or cause this offering of Shares to be integrated  with any other
offering of securities  by the Company for any purposes,  including for purposes
of  any  shareholder  approval  provision  applicable  to  the  Company  or  its
securities.

         g. Securities  Laws  Disclosure;  Publicity.  The Company shall issue a
press  release   reasonably   acceptable  to  the   Purchasers   disclosing  the
transactions  contemplated  hereby  and  file  a  Current  Report  on  Form  8-K
disclosing  the  material  terms of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.  In
addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and
time required by the SEC and the trading  market on which the Shares are listed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any  Purchaser,  or include the name of any  Purchaser in any filing with the
SEC (other than the Resale  Registration  Statement  and any exhibits to filings
made  in  respect  of  this  transaction  in  accordance  with  periodic  filing
requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or trading market,
without the prior written consent of such  Purchaser,  except to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or trading market  regulations,  in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure.

         The  obligation of the Company  hereunder to issue and sell Shares to a
Purchaser at the Closing hereunder is subject to the satisfaction,  at or before
the  Closing  Date,  of  each of the  following  conditions  thereto;  provided,
however,  that these  conditions  are for the Company's  sole benefit and may be

benefit of the parties  hereto and their  respective  permitted  successors  and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced

         i. Survival.  The representations and warranties of the Company and the
agreements   and   covenants   of  the   Company   shall   survive  the  Closing
notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the

                                       20
<PAGE>


Purchaser  shall be made by such  Purchaser.  After the  Initial  Closing  Date,

Purchasers, and shall be binding and enforceable as to all Purchasers.

         m.  Independent  Nature  of  Investors'  Obligations  and  Rights.  The
obligations of each Purchaser are several and not joint with the  obligations of
any other  Purchaser,  and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the performance
of obligations of any other Purchaser under this  Agreement.  Nothing  contained
herein,  and no  action  taken by any  Purchaser  hereunder  shall be  deemed to
constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,  an association,  a joint venture or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any
way  acting in concert or as a group  with  respect to such  obligations  or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently  protect and enforce its rights,  including without limitation the
rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser  to be  joined  as an  additional  party  in any  proceeding  for such
purpose.

             FORM OF SELLING SECURITYHOLDER NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE

The undersigned beneficial Purchaser of Units consisting of 100 shares of Common
Stock,  $.001 par value (the  "Shares")  and  warrants  ("Warrants")  to acquire
50,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Underlying  Shares"),  of theglobe.com,  inc
("theglobe" or "Registrant"),  issued or issuable pursuant to that certain Stock
Purchase  and  Registration  Agreement  dated  _________,  2004  (the  "Purchase
Agreement")  understands  that the  Registrant has filed or intends to file with
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  a  registration
statement on either Form S-2 or Form SB-2 (the "Resale Registration  Statement")
for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended  (the  "Securities  Act" ), of the  Shares  and  the  Underlying  Shares
(collectively,  the "Registrable  Securities"),  in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Agreement.

         Each  capitalized  term not  otherwise  defined  herein  shall have the
meaning  ascribed  thereto in the Purchase  Agreement.  Each beneficial owner of
Registrable Securities is entitled to the benefits of the Purchase Agreement. In
order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Resale  Registration  Statement,  a beneficial  owner of Registrable  Securities
generally  will be  required  to be named  as a  selling  securityholder  in the
related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities
and be bound by those  provisions of the Purchase  Agreement  applicable to such
beneficial  owner.  Beneficial  owners  that do not  complete  this  Notice  and
Questionnaire  and deliver it to theglobe within 10 Business Days of the date of
this Notice and  Questionnaire  as  provided  below will not be named as selling
securityholders  in the  prospectus  and therefore will not be permitted to sell
any  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to the  Resale  Registration  Statement.
Beneficial  owners are  encouraged  to  complete  and  deliver  this  Notice and
Questionnaire prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement so
that such  beneficial  owners  may be named as  selling  securityholders  in the
related  prospectus at the time of effectiveness.  BENEFICIAL OWNERS THAT DO NOT
COMPLETE THIS NOTICE AND  QUESTIONNAIRE  AND TIMELY DELIVER IT TO THEGLOBE SHALL
NOT BE NAMED AS SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS IN THE PROSPECTUS INCLUDED IN THE RESALE
REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  AND  THEREFORE  SHALL  NOT BE  PERMITTED  TO  SELL  ANY
REGISTRABLE SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE RESALE REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

         Certain  legal  consequences  arise  from  being  named  as  a  selling
securityholder in the Resale Registration  Statement and the related prospectus.
Accordingly,  Purchasers  and beneficial  owners of  Registrable  Securities are
advised to consult their own securities law counsel  regarding the  consequences
of being  named or not being  named as a selling  securityholder  in the  Resale
Registration Statement and the related prospectus.
