respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing
as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the
nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in
good standing, as the case may be, would have (i) a material adverse
effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction
Document, or (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations,
assets, business, prospects or financial condition of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (any of (i) or (ii), a "MATERIAL ADVERSE
EFFECT") and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail
such power and authority or qualification.
(c) AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEMENT. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the

authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no
further action is required by the Company in connection therewith other
than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document
has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company
and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific

thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of
the Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice
or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the
creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company
or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument

affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or
result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,

authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any
property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iv) conflict with or violate the terms of any agreement by which the
Company or any Subsidiary is bound or to which any property or asset of
the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of

employees pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan and
pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding Common Stock
Equivalents. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,
right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result
of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of
any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to
subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common
Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock other than pursuant to the Company's stock plans and its
outstanding Common Stock Equivalents. The issue and sale of the Securities
will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result
in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise,
conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all
federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was
issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to
subscribe for or purchase securities. No further approval or authorization

required for the issuance and sale of the Shares, other than the Required
Approvals. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no

the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The

certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to
conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits would not have or

insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. To the best of
Company's knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies are accurate
and complete. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to

significant increase in cost.
(q) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND EMPLOYEES. Except as set forth

excess of $60,000 other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting fees
for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf

controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under
the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that
could significantly affect the Company's internal controls.

type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been
listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with
the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The

of the Securities Act, beneficially own more than 4.99% of Common Stock
for purposes of this representation, the Company and its Board of
Directors have not and will not adopt any poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti~takeover
provision under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (or similar
charter documents) that would prohibit the Purchasers and the Company from
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the

and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All

and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this
Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the
representations and warranties made herein are true and correct with
respect to such representations and warranties 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

acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in the
Transaction Documents.
13
(z) NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers'
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, 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 cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any
applicable shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation
system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or
designated.

resale of its Common Stock by the Purchasers under Form S-3 promulgated
under the Securities Act and the Company hereby covenants and agrees to
use its best efforts to maintain its eligibility to use Form S-3 until the
Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares shall have been
filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission.
(cc) TAXES. Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, would have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all
necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and
has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no
knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened
against the Company or any Subsidiary.

related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful
payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any
foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds,
(iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or
made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware)
which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any
provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
14
(ff) ACCOUNTANTS. The Company's accountants are set forth on
SCHEDULE 3.1(FF) of the Disclosure Schedule. To the Company's knowledge,
such accountants, who the Company expects will express their opinion with
respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual

accountants as required by the Securities Act.

Company acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised by each of the
Purchasers that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of
an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges
that it has been advised by each of the Purchasers that no Purchaser is
acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers' purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to each
Purchaser that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement has
been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions

its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the

(f) REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Such Purchaser hereby covenants with the
Company not to make any sale of the Shares and Warrant Shares without
complying with the provisions hereof and of the Registration Rights
Agreement, and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery
requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (unless such
Purchaser is selling such Shares and Warrant Shares in a transaction not
subject to the prospectus delivery requirement), and such Purchaser
acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant
Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer
except in accordance therewith.
16
(g) NO TAX OR LEGAL ADVICE. Such Purchaser understands that nothing
in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other materials
presented to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of
the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser
has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole

Risk Factors set forth therein (the "RISK FACTORS"). Each such Purchaser

the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers

the Company or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes

17
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state
and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to
the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b) (provided that such transfer is
in compliance with the Securities Act), the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the
form and substance of which opinion and shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require
registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a
condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a
Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required
by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the
following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY,
MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE
OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" AS DEFINED IN
RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
18
The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time
to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the
Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound
by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may
transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.
Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or
pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice
shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser's expense,
the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a
pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the
Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus
supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not
contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i)
while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement)
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities
Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant
to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission).
The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the
Company's transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by
the Company's transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend
hereunder. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when
there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the
Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.
The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as
such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no
later than seven (7) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to
the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing
Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive
legend (such date, the "LEGEND REMOVAL DATE"), deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities
that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not
make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer
agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth
in this Section.
(d) In addition to such Purchaser's other available remedies, the
Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based
on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted
to the Company's transfer agent) subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per
Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after
such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend
Removal Date until such certificate is delivered. Nothing herein shall
limit such Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's
failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by
the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
19
(e) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from
certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is
predicated upon the Company's reliance on each Purchaser's representation
that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
(f) Until the date that each Purchaser holds less than 20% of the
Shares initially purchased hereunder by such Purchaser, the Company shall
not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the
Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a
majority in interest of the Shares. Additionally, each Purchaser
understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, that the SEC currently takes the position that coverage of
short sales of shares of the Common Stock "against the box" prior to the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Shares purchased
hereunder is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth
in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of
Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Accordingly, each
Purchaser hereby agrees not to use any of the Shares to cover any short
sales made prior to the Effective Date.
4.2 FURNISHING OF INFORMATION. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities,
the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any
Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 INTEGRATION. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit
offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale
of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the
Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be
integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules
and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder
approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
20
4.4 SECURITIES LAWS DISCLOSURE; PUBLICITY. The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m.
Eastern time on the Trading Day following the date hereof, issue a press release
or file a Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case reasonably acceptable to HPC
Capital Management ("HPC") disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each
other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any
such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior
consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or
without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release
of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such
disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly
provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or
communication. 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 Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal
securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required
by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide
the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause
(i) or (ii).
4.5 SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN. Assuming that none of the Purchasers
beneficially, individually or as a "group" as described in Section 13(d)(3) of
the Securities Act, owns more than 4.99% of the Common Stock for purposes of
this Section 4.5, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an "Acquiring
Person" under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in
effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be
deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of
receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents. The Company shall conduct
its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment
Company Act.
4.6 NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. The Company covenants and agrees that neither
it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be
relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
4.7 USE OF PROCEEDS. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.7 attached hereto,
the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder
for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the
Company's debt (including payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of
the Company's business and prior practices), to redeem any Company equity or
equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.
21
4.8 Intentionally Omitted.
4.9 INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASERS. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.9, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a
"PURCHASER PARTY") harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of
investigation (excluding any lost profits, incidental or consequential damages)
that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to
(a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or any of them or
their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an
Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a
breach of such Purchaser's representation, warranties or covenants under the
Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may
have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or
federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall
be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify
the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Purchaser Party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the
Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and
to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of
such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the
position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party. The Company
will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any
settlement by an Purchaser Party effected without the Company's prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the
extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is
attributable to any Purchaser Party's breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchasers in this Agreement or
in the other Transaction Documents. A Purchaser Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Purchaser Party unless: (1) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; (2) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Purchaser Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Purchaser Party
and the Company, and such Purchaser Party shall reasonably believe, based on the
written advice, reasonably acceptable to the Company, of its counsel that a
material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
represent such Purchaser Party and the Company (in which case, if such Purchaser
Party notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel
at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume
the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel
for all Indemnified Parties shall be at the expense of the Company).
22
4.10 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. As of the date hereof, the Company has
reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all
times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this
Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.11 LISTING OF COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby agrees to use best
efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, and as
soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but not later than the
earlier of the Effective Date and the first anniversary of the Closing Date) to
list all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company
further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any
other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Shares and
Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of
the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as
promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and
will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.12 EQUAL TREATMENT OF PURCHASERS. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is
also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For
clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to
each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and
is intended to treat for the Company the Purchasers as a class and shall not in
any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with
respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE FINANCING. From the date hereof until 6
months after the Effective Date, upon any financing by the Company of its Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a "SUBSEQUENT FINANCING"), each Purchaser
shall have the right to participate in up to 100% of such Subsequent Financing
(the "PARTICIPATION MAXIMUM"). At least 5 Trading Days prior to the closing of
the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written
notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing ("PRE-NOTICE"), which
Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such
financing (such additional notice, a "SUBSEQUENT FINANCING NOTICE"). Upon the
request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a
Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than 1
Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such
Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended
to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Financing is
proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar
document relating thereto. If by 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth
Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice,
notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the
Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the
aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the
Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the
terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the
Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such 5th Trading Day, such
Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to
participate. The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent
Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation
set forth above in this Section 4.13, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the
initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the
terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after
the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice. In the event the Company
receives responses to Subsequent Financing Notices from Purchasers seeking to
purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Subsequent Financing, each such
Purchaser shall have the right to purchase their Pro Rata Portion (as defined
below) of the Participation Maximum. "PRO RATA PORTION" is the ratio of (x) the
Subscription Amount of Securities purchased by a participating Purchaser and (y)
the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amount of all participating Purchasers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of
an Exempt Issuance.
23
4.14 SUBSEQUENT EQUITY SALES. From the date hereof until 3 months after
the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the 3 month period
set forth in this Section 4.14 shall be extended for the number of Trading Days

this Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties
levied in connection with the sale of the Securities, if any.
24
5.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Transaction Documents, together with the
exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties
acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

5.4 AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor
shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in
any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.5 CONSTRUCTION. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no
rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
5.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign
any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such
Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided (a) such transferee
agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by
the provisions hereof that apply to the "Purchasers," and (b) such transferee
provide the representations and warranties, as of the date of transfer, set
forth in Section 3.2, and (c) such Purchaser delivers to the Company an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such transfer is not
subject to, or made pursuant to an exemption from, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
25
5.7 NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.9.
5.8 GOVERNING LAW. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is improper or inconvenient venue for such
proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If
either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of
the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys' fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.9 SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties herein shall survive the
Closing and delivery of the Shares and Warrant Shares.
5.10 EXECUTION. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page
were an original thereof.
5.11 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
26
5.12 RESCISSION AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHT. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the
Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such
Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon
written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole
or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.13 REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES. If any certificate or instrument
evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate
or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.14 REMEDIES. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the
Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15 PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
27
5.16 INDEPENDENT NATURE OF PURCHASERS' OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
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 the Transaction Document. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of
the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other
Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel
in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of
administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their respective counsel have
chosen to communicate with the Company through FW. FW does not represent all of
the Purchasers but only HPC, who has acted as placement agent to the
transaction. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same
terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
5.17 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Company's obligations to pay any partial
liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid
partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the
fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the agreements contemplated hereby,
the Company shall not be subject to liquidated damages or other penalties
arising from the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates or opinions of
counsel pursuant to this Agreement or the agreements contemplated hereby if such
failure results from Force Majeure, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Company shall use
best efforts to remedy or overcome such failures as promptly as possible.
