2. INVESTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Investor represents and warrants with respect to only
itself that:
a. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Investor understands that the
Common Shares are being issued to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Investor's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Investor set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
Investor to acquire such Common Shares.
b. No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no
United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common
Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Common Shares nor
have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Common Shares.
c. Transfer or Resale. Such Investor understands that except
as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Common Shares have not
been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Investor shall have delivered to
the Company an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such Common Shares to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration, or (C) such Investor provides the Company with reasonable
assurance that such Common Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule
144"); (ii) any sale of the Common Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be
made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is
not applicable, any resale of the Common Shares under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an
underwriter (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance
with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder; and (iii) neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Common
Shares under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the
terms and
3
conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Common Shares may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or
other loan secured by the Common Shares.
d. Legends. Such Investor understands that, until such time as
the sale of the Common Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the stock certificates
representing the Common Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a
restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SUCH SECURITIES
MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Common Shares upon which it
is stamped, if (i) such Common Shares are registered for sale under the 1933
Act, (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of such Common
Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Common Shares can be
sold pursuant to Rule 144. Such Investor acknowledges, covenants and agrees to
sell Common Shares represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has
been removed, only pursuant to (i) a registration statement effective under the
1933 Act, or (ii) advice of counsel to such holder that such sale is exempt from
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act.
e. Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered on behalf of such Investor and are valid and binding agreements of
such Investor enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their
4
terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
f. Residency. Such Investor is a resident of that jurisdiction
specified on the Schedule of Investors.
g. Free of Liens. Assuming that pursuant to the Redemption
Agreement the Company issued such Investor the Warrants held by such Investor
free and clear of any taxes, security interest, liens, encumbrances, claims and
demands of any kind whatsoever, at the time of the Closing such Investor shall
hold such Warrants, and shall transfer such Warrants to the Company, free and
clear of any restrictions on transfer, taxes, security interest, liens,
encumbrances and demands of any kind whatsoever.

offering of the Common Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of

incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or
(c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee
(other than a cause of action, suit or claim which is (x) brought or made by the
Company and (y) is not a shareholder derivative suit) and arising out of or
resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the
Transaction Documents, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the
Common Shares or (iii) solely the status of such Investor or holder of the
Common Shares as an investor in the Company. To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

8. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.
a. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws
of the State of Florida shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights
of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-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, 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. 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 to such
party at the address for such 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. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
b. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which 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 parties; provided that a facsimile signature
shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory
thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not
a facsimile signature.
c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Agreement.
d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
14
e. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement supersede all other prior oral or written
agreements between the Investors, the Company, their affiliates and persons
acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein. This
Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and,
except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any
Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with
respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise
specifically provided in the Transaction Documents, the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the registration rights agreement, dated as of December 23, 1999,
among the Company and the buyers named therein (the "Series B Registration
Rights Agreement"), the Articles of Amendment, the Redemption Agreement and the
registration rights agreement, dated as of May 4, 2000, among the Company and
the investors named therein, including the Investors (the "Redemption
Registration Rights Agreement") shall remain in full force and effect with
respect to the securities and the transactions contemplated thereby. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in
writing signed by the Company and each of the Investors. No provision hereof may
be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent
that it applies to less than all of the Investors which hold Common Shares then
outstanding. 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 also is offered to all of the parties to
the Transaction Documents.
f. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this
Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered (i) upon

g. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
assigns. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder (except pursuant to a merger or consolidation with respect
to which the Company is not the surviving entity resulting from such merger or
consolidation), without the prior written consent of each of the Investors, or
their assigns. An Investor or any Permitted Assignee (as defined below) may
assign some or all of its rights under this Agreement (i) to any person with the
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or
(ii) without the consent of the Company, to any person or entity which or who,
immediately prior to such assignment, is (A) an affiliate of such Investor or
Permitted Assignee, (B) an Investor which has
16
executed this Agreement or (C) an entity or fund which has the same principal
investment adviser or manager as the Investor or Permitted Assignee (each such
person or entity described in the immediately preceding clauses (A), (B) and (C)
is referred to as a "Permitted Assignee"); provided, however, that any such
assignment shall not release such Investor from its obligations hereunder unless
such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has consented to
such assignment and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction
Documents, Investors shall be entitled to pledge the Common Shares in connection
with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Common Shares.
h. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended
for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any other person.
i. Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section
8(l), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors
contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in
Sections 4 and 8, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7,
shall survive the Closing. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
j. Publicity. The Company and each Investor shall have the
right to approve before issuance any press releases or any other public
statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any
Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to
such transactions as the Company reasonably believes, after consulting with its
counsel, to be required by applicable law and regulations (although each
Investor shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press
release or other public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided
with a copy thereof).
k. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or
cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the
intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
l. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have
occurred with respect to an Investor on or before one (1) Business Day after the
date hereof due to the Company's or the Investor's failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the non-breaching party's
17
failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the non-breaching party shall
have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party
at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any
other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
this Section 8(l), the Company shall be obligated to make the payment described
in Section 4(e) on the date of such termination provided that neither Xxxxxx
Capital Ltd. nor Xxxxxxx Capital Ltd. shall have breached this Agreement.
m. Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that it has not
engaged any placement agent in connection with the issuance of the Common
Shares. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement
agent's fees or brokers' commissions relating to or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each Investor
harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such
claim.
n. No Strict Construction. 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.
o. Remedies. Each Investor shall have all rights and remedies
set forth in the Transaction Documents and, except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Transaction Documents, all rights and remedies which such
holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract
(including, without limitation, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series B
Registration Rights Agreement, the Articles of Amendment, the Redemption
Agreement and the Redemption Registration Rights Agreement) and all of the
rights which such holders have under any law. Any person having any rights under
any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights
specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by
reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all
other rights granted by law.
p. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to any Investor hereunder or pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement or such Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or
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 or to 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
18
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.
q. Mutual General Release. (i) In consideration of the release
set forth in Section 8(q)(ii), effective as of the Closing (the "Effective
Time") each Investor, severally and not jointly, on behalf of itself and its
heirs, executors, administrators, devisees, trustees, partners, directors,

itself and its heirs, executors, administrators, devisees, trustees, partners,
directors, officers, shareholders, employees, consultants, representatives,
predecessors, principals, agents, parents, associates, affiliates, subsidiaries,
attorneys, accountants, successors, successors-in-interest and assignees
(collectively, the "Company Releasing Persons"), hereby waives and releases, to

B Registration Rights Agreement, Sections 8, 9(m) and 9(p) of the Redemption
