4.2 Investor Qualifications. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
-----------------------
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act and has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in
private placement transactions, and, as such is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Company. Such Investor, by
10
reason of its business or financial experience or the business or financial
experience of its professional advisors who are unaffiliated with the Company or
any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly, has the
capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the
Shares.
4.3 Investment. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities for investment
----------
for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Such
Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such
Investor's representations as expressed herein.
4.4 Rule 144. Such Investor acknowledges that the Securities must be held
--------
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Such Investor is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited
resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including, among other things, (i) the existence of a public
market for the shares, (ii) the availability of certain current public
information about the Company, (iii) the resale occurring not less than one year
after a party has purchased and fully paid for the shares to be sold, (iv) the
sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly
with a "market maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and (v) the number of shares
being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
4.5 No Public Market. Such Investor understands that no public market now
----------------
exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that there is no
assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
4.6 Access to Data. Such Investor and its representatives, if any, has
--------------
had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive, answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and the
conditions of this transaction, as well as to obtain any information requested
by such Investor or its representatives. Any questions raised by such Investor
or its representatives were answered to the satisfaction of such Investor or its
representatives. Such Investor understands that such discussions, as well as
any written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain
aspects of the Company's business and prospects but were not a thorough or
exhaustive description. Such Investor's decision to enter into the transaction
contemplated hereby is based in part on the answers to such questions as such
Investor and its representatives have raised and on such Investor's own
evaluation of the risks and merits of the transaction and the Company's proposed
business activities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the
representations and warranties of the Company in Article 3 of this Agreement or
the right of such Investor to rely thereon.
4.7 Authorization. This Agreement and the Rights Agreement, when executed
-------------
and delivered by such Investor, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, and the relief of debtors, (ii) rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) the
extent that the
11
indemnification provisions of Section 2.9 of the Rights Agreement may be limited
by principles of public policy.
4.8 Brokers or Finders. The Company has not incurred, and will not incur,
------------------
directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by such Investor, any
liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any similar
charges in connection with this agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby.
4.9 Tax Consequences. Such Investor has reviewed with its own tax
----------------
advisors the federal, state, local and, if necessary, foreign tax consequences
of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such
Investor is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that such
Investor (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability
that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

Securities Act) Investor which is (A) a partnership to its partners or former
partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation to its
shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (C) a limited
liability company to its members or former members in accordance with their

Investor or (ii) with or without consideration by a non-"affiliate" (as defined
in the Securities Act) Investor which is an entity to an "affiliate" (as defined
in the Securities Act) of such Investor, provided that such affiliate is an
"accredited investor" (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act); provided that in each case the transferee will be subject to
the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were an
original Investor hereunder. Each stock certificate evidencing the Restricted
