purchase hereunder by any other Purchaser (and no Purchaser shall be deemed to
make or have any liability for any representation or warranty made by any other
Purchaser), to the Company as set forth in this Article II. No Purchaser makes
any other representations or warranties, express or implied, to the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any and all prior
representations and warranties, if any, which may have been made by a Purchaser
to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
deemed to have been merged in this Agreement and any such prior representations
and warranties, if any, shall not survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.
2.1 Purchase for Own Account. Purchaser is purchasing the Convertible
------------------------
Securities for investment and for Purchaser's own account and not with a view
toward or in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof. Purchaser
will not resell the Convertible Securities or any securities which may be issued
upon conversion thereof except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under
the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic
risk of this investment until such time as the Convertible Securities and/or the
Conversion Shares are registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available (and such securities are sold),
and that the Company has no present intention of registering the Convertible
Securities or the Conversion Shares other than as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement. By making the representations in this Section
2.1, Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or
other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of any of the Securities
at any time pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act.

--------------------------
that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
2.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Convertible
----------------------
Securities are being offered and sold to Purchaser in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and
state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
Purchaser to acquire the Convertible Securities.
2.4 Information. Purchaser and its counsel have been furnished or given
-----------
access to all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the
Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Convertible
Securities which have been specifically requested by Purchaser. Purchaser has
been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and has received
what Purchaser believes to be complete and satisfactory answers to any such
inquiries. Neither such
3
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or
any of its representatives shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser's right to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Article III.
Purchaser understands that Purchaser's investment in the Securities involves a
high degree of risk. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company's filings available
via the SEC's XXXXX document retrieval system as of November 20, 1998 shall be
deemed available to the Purchasers.
2.5 Governmental Review. 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 or an
investment therein.
2.6 Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided
------------------
in the Registration Rights 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 subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption
from such registration is available (which exemption the Company expressly
agrees may be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1
hereof); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the
Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule 144") may be made only in accordance
--------
with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any
resale of such Securities without registration under the Securities Act may
require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) 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 or the Registration Rights Agreement). The Company may issue stop
transfer instructions in the event that a Purchaser does not comply with the
provisions in this Section 2.6.
2.7 Legends. Purchaser understands that, subject to Article V hereof, the
-------
certificates for the Convertible Securities, and until such time as the
Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) have been registered
under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or
may be sold by Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without registration,
the certificates for the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may
be) will bear a restrictive legend (the "Legend") in the following form:
------
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE

liens, claims and encumbrances, except as created by the Purchasers, and will
not be subject to preemptive rights, except as created by the Purchasers, or to
the Company's knowledge after reasonable investigation other similar rights of

Directors of the Company (the "Board") has unanimously approved the issuance of
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock and upon the
exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, including the
circumstance where such conversion would, in the aggregate, require issuance in
excess of twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the
"Rule 4460(i) Authorization") and has unanimously recommended to the
---------------------------
stockholders of the Company the approval of the Rule 4460(i) Authorization.

Stockholder Approval (as defined in Section 4.13)) is required under the rules
of Nasdaq with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares and the inclusion thereof on Nasdaq.
3.5 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
------------
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company, and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance, as
applicable, of the Convertible Securities, Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares) does not and will not (a) result in a violation of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws, (b) 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 (except for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, and cancellations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
7
Adverse Effect), or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, U.S. 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. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws or
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 possible defaults or rights as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted, in
violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree of
any governmental entity, court or arbitration tribunal except for possible
violations the sanctions for which either singly or in the aggregate would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5, the
------------
Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any
regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any third party in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Convertible Securities or to perform its
obligations in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. The Company is not
in violation of the listing requirements of Nasdaq and does not reasonably
anticipate that the Common Stock will be de-listed by Nasdaq for the foreseeable
future.
3.6 Registration and SEC Documents. The Common Stock is registered under
------------------------------
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") and has been so registered since March 2, 1995. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 3.6, since March 2, 1995, 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 reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the
foregoing filed after March 2, 1995 and all exhibits included therein and
financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein, being referred to herein as the "SEC Documents"). The
-------------
Company has delivered or made available to each Purchaser true and complete
copies of the SEC Documents, except for exhibits, schedules and incorporated
documents (the SEC Documents filed prior to November 20, 1998, collectively, the
"Filed SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied
-------------------
in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act 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. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is
currently required to be updated or amended under applicable law and has not
been updated or amended in a subsequent filing with the SEC by November 20,
1998. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied, and the rules and regulations of the SEC during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
8
statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
financial statements, to the extent they do not include footnotes or are
condensed or summary statements) and present accurately and completely the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments). Except as clearly
set forth as an actual or potential liability of the Company in the Filed SEC
Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than
(i) liabilities incurred subsequent to the date of such financial statements in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice 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 financial statements, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) next
above which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial
condition, business, operations, properties, operating results or publicly-
announced prospects (which prospects have not been publicly modified prior to
November 20, 1998) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken on a whole. Except
as otherwise permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Filed SEC
Documents contain a complete and accurate list or description of all material
undischarged written or oral contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments
to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any
subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company
or any subsidiary is subject (each a "Contract"). None of the Company, its
--------
subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the other parties
thereto, is in breach or violation (or breach or violation alleged in writing)
of any Contract, which breach or violation (or breach or violation alleged in
writing) would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as clearly set forth as
such in the Filed SEC Documents, no event, occurrence or condition exists which,
with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, or the happening of any
further event or condition, would become a breach or default by the Company or
its subsidiaries under any Contract which breach or default would have a
Material Adverse Effect.
3.7 Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 1997, there has been
--------------------------
no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business,
properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations or
publicly-announced prospects (which prospects have not been publicly modified
prior to November 20, 1998) of the Company, except as disclosed in Schedule 3.7
------------
or as clearly disclosed as such in the Filed SEC Documents filed with the SEC
since December 31, 1997.
3.8 Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.8, there is
--------------------- ------------
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board, governmental agency or authority, or self-regulatory organization
or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
threatened against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their
respective directors or officers in their capacities as such, wherein an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect. To
the knowledge of the Company, there are no facts which, if known by a potential
claimant or governmental agency or authority, would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
9
3.9 Disclosure. No information (written or oral) relating to or concerning
----------
the Company and set forth in this Agreement or provided to Purchaser in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No material adverse
fact (within the meaning of the federal securities laws of the United States)
exists with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries which has not been
publicly disclosed. The Company has not provided any Purchaser with any material
non-public information. In making the foregoing representation and warranty, it
is understood and agreed to that the Company has not provided any Purchaser with
any projections prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any assurances
concerning future stock prices.
3.10 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser's Purchase of the Securities. The
---------------------------------------------------------------
Company acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is not acting as a financial
advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, that this Agreement and
the transaction contemplated hereby, and the relationship between each Purchaser
and the Company, are "arms-length", and that any statement made by Purchaser, or
any of its representatives or agents, in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation, is merely
incidental to Purchaser's purchase of the Securities and has not been relied
upon in any way by the Company, its officers, directors or other
representatives. The Company further represents to Purchaser that the Company's
decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
has been based solely on an independent evaluation by the Company and its
representatives.
3.11 Current Public Information. The Company is currently eligible to
---------------------------
register the resale of the Conversion Shares for the account of the Purchasers
on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act.
3.12 No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor to the Company's
-----------------------
knowledge after reasonable investigation any person acting on behalf of the
Company, has conducted any "general solicitation," as described in Rule 502(c)
under Regulation D, with respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby.
3.13 No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor to the Company's
----------------------
knowledge after reasonable investigation any of its affiliates, nor to the
Company's knowledge after reasonable investigation 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 prevent the parties hereto from consummating the transactions contemplated
hereby pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
pursuant to the provisions of Regulation D. The transactions contemplated hereby
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, assuming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein contained of each
Purchaser to the extent relevant for such determination.
10
3.14 No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to
----------
any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments by Purchaser relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, except for dealings with PaineWebber Incorporated (the fees
of which shall be paid in full by the Company).
3.15 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The number of Conversion Shares issuable
--------------------------
upon conversion of the Convertible Securities may increase substantially in
certain circumstances, including the circumstance wherein the trading price of
the Common Stock declines. The Company's executive officers and directors
understand the nature of the securities being issued and sold hereunder and
recognize that they have a potential dilutive effect. The board of directors of
the Company has unanimously concluded in its good faith business judgment that
such issuance is in the best interests of the Company. The Company acknowledges
that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon it
and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the
ownership interests of other stockholders.
3.16 Intellectual Property. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns
---------------------
or possesses adequate and enforceable rights to use all material patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks,
copyrights, copyright applications, licenses, know-how (including trade secrets
and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential
information, systems or procedures) and other similar material rights and
proprietary knowledge (collectively, "Intangibles") used or necessary for the
-----------
conduct of its business as now being conducted and as previously described in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its most recently ended fiscal
year. Except as clearly specified in the Filed SEC Documents, to the Company's
knowledge after reasonable investigation, neither the Company nor any subsidiary
of the Company infringes on or is in conflict with any right of any other person
with respect to any Intangibles nor is there any claim of infringement made by a
third party against or involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which
infringement, conflict or claim, individually or in the aggregate, if the
subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material
Adverse Effect.
3.17 Foreign Corrupt Practices. To the Company's knowledge after
-------------------------
reasonable investigation, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, nor
to the Company's knowledge after reasonable investigation, any director,
officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any
subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company,
used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or
other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; violated or, to the Company's knowledge after
reasonable investigation, is currently in violation of any provision of the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or made any bribe, rebate,
payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or
domestic government official or employee. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to the Company's knowledge after reasonable investigation, the
Company and its subsidiaries have not directly or indirectly made or agreed to
make (whether or not said payment is lawful) any payment to obtain, or with
respect to, sales other than
11
usual and regular compensation to its or their employees and sales
representatives with respect to such sales.
3.18 Inapplicability of Rights Agreement. The Company and the Board have

transferee, other than a Competitor (as herein defined), of Convertible
Securities approved by the Company's Board of Directors, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld) has ever been or will ever be included in the
definition of "Acquiring Person" under the Company's Amended and Restated
Rights Agreement dated as of December 18, 1998 between the Company and
BankBoston, N.A. (the "Rights Agreement") by virtue of entry into this
Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the acquisition by
such Purchaser (or such transferee) of any or all of the Securities and (b)
none of the entry into this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or the acquisition of Securities by the Purchaser (or any transferee,
other than a Competitor, of Convertible Securities approved by the Company's
Board of Directors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) has
ever caused or will ever cause under any circumstances whatsoever any adverse
consequence to any of the Purchasers (or any of such transferees) or the
Company pursuant to the Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, the
occurrence of a Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or any
adjustment to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement).

maintain listing and trading of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares on such
exchange, and comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting,

-------------------
Preferred Stock or Warrants, so long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any
Preferred Stock or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence,
except in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets, as long as the surviving or successor entity in
such transaction assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the
agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith regardless of

Common Stock authorized and available for issuance in order to effect the

LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, AND CERTAIN SALES
5.1 Removal of Legend. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall
-----------------
issue a certificate without any legend to the holder of any Security upon which
such Legend is stamped, and a certificate for a Security shall be originally
issued without the Legend, unless otherwise required by applicable state
securities laws if (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the
Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in form, substance and scope customary or otherwise reasonable for
opinions of counsel (with the expense of such opinion paid by such holder) in
comparable transactions to the effect that a sale or transfer of such Security
may be made without registration under the Securities Act and without the
inclusion of the Legend on the certificate for such Security or (c) such
Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend,
pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in
connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is
15
removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and
thereafter such Security may not be sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance
notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the
Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the
opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend
shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with
respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.
5.2 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall instruct its transfer
---------------------------
agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its
nominee, for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by such Purchaser to the Company upon, and in
accordance with, the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the
Warrants. Such certificates shall bear a legend only in the form of the Legend
and only to the extent permitted by Section 5.1 above. The Company warrants
that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Article V,
and no stop transfer instructions other than stop transfer instructions (i) to
give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case of the Conversion Shares prior to
registration of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act, (ii) to comply
with SEC or court order and (iii) to suspend the use of the Company's then
effective Registration Statement(s) in the event an amendment or supplement
thereto must be filed in order to make a statement therein not misleading or to
correct the omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, but, in the case of this clause (iii), only with respect to
transfers under such Registration Statement and only during the pendency of a
"Permitted Blackout" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), will be
------------------
given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way a Purchaser's obligations and
agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to re-sell the Securities pursuant to
an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection
with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration
requirements of applicable securities laws. In addition, if (a) a Purchaser
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall
be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the
Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an
affiliate or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and,
in the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such
denomination as specified by such Purchaser in order to effect such a transfer
or sale. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Article V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Article V, that a Purchaser
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss
16
and without any bond or other security being required. Purchasers shall not
knowingly transfer or otherwise dispose of, in any private off-market offering,
any Convertible Securities to any Competitor of the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries). For purposes of this section, "Competitor" shall mean any person
----------
or entity engaged in the manufacture, sale, distribution, installation,
relocation, engineering, commissioning or program management of microwave radio
equipment that directly competes with the Company.

Purchaser shall (to the extent time permits) be consulted by the Company in
connection with any such press release prior to its release and shall be
provided with a copy thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without further
review or approval by the Purchasers or the consent of the Purchasers (provided
such filing or press release was originally reviewed and consented to by the
Purchasers, such filing or press release is not misleading, such filing or press
release has not been subsequently determined to be incorrect in any material
respect and the Purchasers do not otherwise reasonably request changes to or
restrictions on use of such descriptions) the Company may continue to use the
descriptions in the initial press release, the Form 8-K filing (if such filing
has been previously reviewed and approved by the Purchasers), or any other press
release or SEC filing previously reviewed by the Purchasers to describe the
transactions contemplated hereby in future public SEC filings as required by

applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment
contemplated hereby.
