REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDER
Section 3.1(a) Representations and Warranties of the
Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to, and covenants and
agrees with, the Company that the Shares to be acquired by the
Holder pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired for such
Holder's own account and not for the account of any ERISA Plan,
and with no intention of distributing or reselling the Shares or
any part thereof in any transaction, which would be or result in
a Prohibited Transaction or would be in violation of the
securities laws of the United States of America or any State,
without prejudice, however, to the Holder's rights at all times
to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares
under a registration under the Act or under an exemption from
such registration available under such Act, provided that the
disposition of the Holder's property at the time of the sale or
disposition of the Shares is within such Holder's control. If
the Holder should in the future decide to dispose of any of the
Shares, the Holder understands and agrees with the Company that
he will do so only (i) if such disposition will not be or result
in a Prohibited Transaction; (ii) if a subsequent or transferee
Holder shall agree in writing to be bound by the representations
and warranties of this Article III; and that the Holder may do so
only in compliance with the Act, as then in effect, and that
stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with
respect to the Shares. If the Holder should decide to dispose of
any of the Shares, the Company must first be in receipt of an
opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed disposition of
the Shares would not be in violation of the Act. The Holder
agrees to the imprinting of legends required by law on
certificates representing all of the Shares including but not
limited to the following: "This security has not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state
securities laws and may be reoffered and sold, pledged or
otherwise transferred only if so registered or if an exemption
from registration is available." The Holder also represents and
warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Company that,
with respect to itself (i) it is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act and (ii) by reason of its
business and financial experience, and the business and financial
experience of those Persons retained by it to advise it with
respect to its investment in the Shares, it, together with such
advisors, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in
business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment, and it,
together with its Affiliates, is able to bear the economic risk
of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a
complete loss of such investment.
The Holder also represents and warrants to the Company that
(i) it has received and reviewed those certain Confidential
Private Placement Memoranda of the Company dated October 24, 1997
and February 2, 1998, respectively, (ii) it has been given the
opportunity to discuss the transactions contemplated hereby and
the offering materials with, and ask questions of,
representatives of the Company; (iii) it has all requisite
corporate power and authority (A) to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement, (B) to exchange the Old
Notes for the Shares in the manner and for the purpose
contemplated in this Agreement and (C) to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under all other agreements and
instruments executed and delivered by, or to be executed and
delivered by, the Holder pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (iv)
this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by the Holder
and this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Holder and constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally; and (v) the exchange of the Holder's Old Notes for the
Shares does not violate the Holders' charter or by-laws or any
other governing documents, any material law or regulation or any
court order applicable to it.
The Holder has relied solely on the representations made
herein in determining to exchange the Holder's Old Notes for the
Shares pursuant hereto.

Section 7.5Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. Whenever, pursuant to
this Article VI, a Registration Statement relating to the
Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, the Company will
(except as to matters covered by Section 7.5(b) hereof) indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder participating in the registration,
each of their officers, directors and employees, and each person,
if any, who controls any such Person (collectively, the "Holder
Indemnitees" and, individually, a "Holder Indemnitee") within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act and Section 20 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Holder Indemnitees may become subject under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such Registration Statement, or Prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein made, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder
participating in such registration will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who has signed the Registration Statement and each other person,
if any, who controls the Company, within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively,
the "Company Indemnitees" and, individually, a "Company
Indemnitee") and each other Holder Indemnitee against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of
the Company Indemnitees or the other Holder Indemnitees may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
Registration Statement, or Prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein made, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, but only if, and to the extent that, such statement
or omission was in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Holder specifically
for inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus
contained therein.
(c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by
a Holder Indemnitee or a Company Indemnitee (collectively,
"Indemnitees" and, individually, an "Indemnitee") under Section
7.5(a) or 7.5(b) hereof of notice of the commencement of any
action, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under such clause, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may
have to any Indemnitee otherwise than under such clauses. In case
any such action shall be brought against any Indemnitee, and it
shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and,
to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and after
notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under such clause for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ one counsel to represent such
Indemnitee if, in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnitee, it
is advisable for such party to be represented by separate counsel
because separate defenses are available, or because a conflict of
interest exists between such indemnified and indemnifying party
in respect of such claim, and in that event the fees and expenses
of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is an Indemnitee,
the Company shall designate the one counsel, and in all other
circumstances, the one counsel shall be designated by a majority
in interest based upon the Registrable Securities of the
Indemnities.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing
indemnity is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an
Indemnitee, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the
Indemnitee on the other from the registration or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the Indemnitee than
the amount hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by
the indemnifying party on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the
other but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
the Indemnitee as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the
Holders shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
7.5(d), in no event shall the Company be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at
which the Registrable Securities were sold exceeds the amount of
any damages that the Holders have otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
