the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,

shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules
and regulations of the Principal Market or other
6

bargaining agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that relations

development of similar or identical trade secrets or technical information by

such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for
and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that
it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such

business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and the Common Shares issuable
thereunder which have been requested by the Investor. Neither such inquiries nor
any other due diligence investigations conducted by the
10
11
Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or
affect the Investor's right to rely on the Company's representations and
warranties contained in Section 2.1 above. The Investor understands that its
investment in the Preferred Shares and Warrants and the Common Shares issuable
thereunder involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Preferred
Shares and Warrants and the Common Shares issuable thereunder.
(c) No Governmental Review. The 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 Preferred Shares,
Warrants and Common Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Common Shares nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Preferred Shares,
Warrants and Common Shares.
(d) Legends. The Company shall issue the Warrants and the
certificates for the Preferred Shares and Common Shares to the Investor without
any legend except as described in Article VI below. The Investor covenants that,
in connection with any transfer of Common Shares by the Investor pursuant to the
registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, it
will comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933
Act, provided that copies of a current prospectus relating to such effective
registration statement are or have been supplied to the Investor.
(e) Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered
on behalf of the Investor and are valid and binding agreements of the Investor
enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their terms, except (A) as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application, and (B) to the extent the
indemnification provisions contained in this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.
The Investor has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement.
(f) Residency. The Investor is organized in the jurisdiction
indicated on Schedule 1.
(g) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Investor and the
consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
will not result in a violation of the limited partnership agreement, certificate
of incorporation, by-laws or other documents of organization of the Investor.
(h) Investment Representation. The Investor is purchasing the
Preferred Shares and Warrants for its own account and not with a view to
distribution in violation of any securities laws. The Investor has been advised
and understands that neither the Preferred Shares, Warrants nor shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof have been
11
12
registered under the 1933 Act or under the "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction
and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the 1933 Act
or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances
where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law. The
Investor has been advised and understands that the Company in issuing the
Preferred Shares and Warrants is relying upon, among other things, the
representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Section 2.2 in
concluding that such issuance is a "private offering" and is exempt from the
registration provisions of the 1933 Act.
(i) Rule 144. The Investor understands that there is no public
trading market for the Preferred Shares and Warrants, that none is expected to
develop, and that the Preferred Shares and Warrants must be held indefinitely
unless and until such Preferred Shares, Warrants or Common Shares received upon
conversion or exercise thereof are registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption
from registration is available. The Investor has been advised or is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.
(j) Brokers. The Investor has taken no action which would give rise
to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments by the Company or the Investor relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, except with Trinity, whose fees will be paid
by the Company.
(k) Reliance by the Company. The Investor understands that the
Preferred Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold in reliance on a
transactional exemption from the registration requirements of Federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of
the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such
exemptions and the suitability of the Investor to acquire the Preferred Shares
and Warrants.

this Agreement have been satisfied in all material respects, such registration
is not subject to any suspension or stop order (other than suspensions or stop
orders limited to a Suspension Grace Period (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement)), the prospectus for the Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants is current and
deliverable and such Common Shares are listed for trading on one of the Approved

Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company is subject to any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
Section 3.2 Certificates on Conversion/Exercise. Upon any conversion by
the Investor (or then holder of Preferred Shares) of the Preferred Shares
pursuant to the Certificate or any exercise by the Investor (or then holder) of
Warrants, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investor (or such holder)
within three (3) trading days of the conversion or exercise date a new
certificate or certificates for the number of Preferred Shares or Warrants which
the Investor (or holder) has not yet elected to convert or exercise but which
are evidenced in part by the certificate(s) or Warrants submitted to the Company
in connection with such conversion or exercise (with the denominations of such
new certificate(s) or Warrants designated by the Investor or holder).
Section 3.3 Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s) representing
the Preferred Shares and the Warrants held by any Investor (or then holder) may
be exchanged by the Investor (or such holder) at any time and from time to time
for certificates or Warrants with different denominations representing an equal
aggregate number of Preferred Shares or Warrants, respectively, as requested by
the Investor (or such holder) upon surrendering the same. No service charge will
be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.
Section 3.4 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the SEC and
the Principal Market, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate, the Warrants and the

Warrants hereunder and the Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise
thereof.

Section 3.7 Reservation of Preferred Shares; Stock Issuable upon
Conversion or Exercise.
(a) The Company shall reserve all authorized but unissued Series B 4%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for issuance to the Investor pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and the Certificate.
(b) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants,
such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all Preferred Shares and the exercise of
all the Warrants, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
the then outstanding Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Warrants, the
Company shall use its best efforts to take such corporate action as necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including without limitation
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. Without
in any way limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees to reserve and at all
times keep available solely for purposes of conversion of Preferred Shares and
exercise of Warrants, such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock that is at least equal to 200% of the number of Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of all Preferred Shares and exercise of all Warrants. If at any
time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not
sufficient to effect such conversion and exercise, up to the Maximum Common
Stock Issuance (as defined in Section 3.15 below), of all the then outstanding
Preferred Shares and Warrants, the Investor shall be entitled to, inter alia,
the redemption rights provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Section 3.8 Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to
satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Article V of this Agreement.
Section 3.9 Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D
with respect to the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Common Shares, as required
under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Investor promptly after
such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action
as the Company shall have reasonably determined is necessary to qualify the
Preferred Shares, Warrants and Common Shares for sale to the Investor under
applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States (or
to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of
any such action so taken to the Investor on or prior to the Closing Date;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith to register or qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
service of process in suits or taxation, in each case, in any jurisdiction where
it is not now so subject.
Section 3.10 Press Release. Immediately upon Closing, the Company shall
issue a press release, in accordance with Principal Market rules (or the rules
of such other Approved Market on which the Common Stock is traded) and the
Securities Act, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in the
form of a press release attached as Exhibit 3.10 hereto. No press release shall
name the investors except as shall be required by law or permitted by Investors.
If the Company fails to issue a press release upon Closing, the Investors may
issue a
14
15
press release covering the Closing and complying with any legal requirement
applicable to the Investors.
Section 3.11 Shareholder Rights Plan. None of the acquisitions of
Preferred Shares, Warrants or Common Shares nor the deemed beneficial ownership
of shares of Common Stock prior to, or the acquisition of such shares pursuant
to, the conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of Warrants will in any event
under any circumstances trigger the poison pill provisions of any stockholders'
rights or similar agreements, or a substantially similar occurrence under any
successor or similar plan.
Section 3.12 Future Issuances of Securities.
(a) Right of First Refusal. The Company agrees that for a period of
one year immediately following the Closing Date and subject to the Company's
compliance with any similar rights previously granted to the purchasers of the
Company's Series A Six Percent (6%) Convertible Notes pursuant to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 14, 2000 between the Company and
Augustine Fund, L.P. (the "AUGUSTINE AGREEMENT"), the Investors shall have a
right of first refusal with respect to any MFN Transaction (as defined below),
any Variable Rate Transaction (as defined below), and any sale or issuance of
any Common Stock or any rights, options or warrants to purchase any shares of
its Common Stock or any of the Company's preferred stock or any other securities
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock at an
effective per share selling price per share of Common Stock ("Per Share Selling
Price") lower than the closing sale price on the date of issuance thereof (other
than shares or options issued pursuant to (i) the Company's duly adopted
employee or director stock option plans, (ii) the exercise of options, warrants
or rights outstanding on the date of this Agreement and listed in the Company's
most recent periodic report filed under the 1934 Act or Schedule 2.1(c) hereto,
(iii) arrangements with all the holders of Preferred Shares or (iv) a bona fide
strategic investment in the Company by an individual or entity ("STRATEGIC
INVESTOR") who is engaged in a business related or complementary to that of the
Company and which is not a public or private investment company or other
financial institution or an investment advisor or manager) (collectively,
"Financing Transactions"). The Company shall give advance written notice to the
Investors prior to any proposed Financing Transaction. The Investors shall have
ten (10) business days from receipt of such notice to deliver a written notice
to the Company that one or more of such Investors elects to exercise its right
of first refusal with respect to the entire issuance or a part thereof. If,
subsequent to the Company giving notice to the Investors hereunder, the terms
and conditions of the proposed Financing Transaction are changed in any material
way (for purposes hereof, any change in the effective purchase price of such
Financing Transaction shall be deemed a material change), the Company shall be
required to provide a new notice to the Investors hereunder and the Investors
shall have the right of refusal again to purchase all or a portion of the
securities in the offering on such changed terms and conditions as provided
hereunder. In such event, if such other Financing Transaction provides for
non-cash consideration, in whole or in part, from such other potential
investor(s), the Investors shall still have the right to participate in the
Financing Transaction as provided herein, provided that cash or cash equivalents
may be substituted by the Investors for such non-cash consideration. This right
of first refusal shall continue even if the Investors elect not to participate
in one or more Financing Transactions.
15
16
(b) Definitions. The term "MFN Transaction" shall mean a transaction
in which the Company issues or sells any securities in a capital raising
transaction or series of related transactions (the "MFN Offering") which grants
to an investor (the "MFN Investor") the right to receive additional shares
(including without limitation as a result of a lower conversion, exchange or
exercise price but excluding customary antidilution protections) based upon
subsequent transactions of the Company on terms more favorable than those
granted to such MFN Investor in such MFN Offering. The term "Variable Rate
Transaction" shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (a)
any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or
exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of, Common
Stock either (x) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the
Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities, or (y) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for
the Common Stock (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions),
or (b) any securities of the Company pursuant to an "equity line" structure
which provides for the sale, from time to time, of securities of the Company
which are registered for resale pursuant to the 1933 Act. For purposes hereof,
the term "Per Share Selling Price" shall include the amount actually paid by
third parties for each share of Common Stock; in the event a fee is paid by the
Company in connection with the transaction, any such fee shall be deducted from
the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at
the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the
sale or issuance of rights, options, warrants or convertible securities
("derivative securities") under which the Company is or may become obligated to
issue shares of Common Stock (but shall exclude any derivative securities issued
by the Company in exchange for services rendered to the Company or purchases by
the Company of intellectual property rights), and in such circumstances the sale
of Common Stock shall be deemed to have occurred at the time of the issuance of
the derivative securities, with such derivative securities being deemed
converted or exercised in full without regard to any limitations or restrictions
contained therein.
Section 3.13 Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the
following to the Investor for so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants are
outstanding: (i) on the same day as the release thereof, facsimile or e-mail
copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
and (ii) copies of any notices and other information made available or given to
the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the making
available or giving thereof to the shareholders.
Section 3.14 Transactions with Affiliates. The Company agrees that any
transaction or arrangement between it or any of its Subsidiaries and any
affiliate or employee of the Company shall be effected on an arms' length basis
in accordance with customary commercial practice and, except with respect to
grants of options and stock to service providers, including employees, shall be
approved by a majority of the Company's outside directors.
Section 3.15 Overall Limit on Common Stock Issuable. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein or in the Certificate or Warrants to the contrary, the
number of Common Shares issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Investor
hereunder and pursuant to conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the
Warrants shall not exceed 19.9% of the shares of
16
17
Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof, subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other similar
recapitalization affecting the Common Stock (the "MAXIMUM COMMON STOCK
ISSUANCE"), unless the issuance of shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum
Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in
accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such
shareholders' approval must duly authorize the issuance by the Company of an
indeterminate number shares of Common Stock in excess of such Maximum Common
Stock Issuance. The parties understand and agree that the Company's failure to
seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the
validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Preferred Shares or
Warrants hereunder, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of
the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section. The
Company agrees that if at any point in time (the "Trigger Date") the number of
Common Shares issued pursuant to conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise
of the Warrants, together with the number of Common Shares that would then be
issuable by the Company in the event of conversion of all the Preferred Shares
and exercise of all the Warrants then outstanding, would exceed the Maximum
Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.15, then the Company shall promptly
call a shareholders meeting to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of
Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance. If such
shareholder approval is not obtained within 60 days of the Trigger Date, then
each holder of Preferred Shares and Warrants shall have the right to sell to the
Company such number of Preferred Shares and/or Warrants which cannot be
converted or exercised due to such Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation at a
redemption price equal to (I) for the Preferred Shares, the greater of (x) 125%
of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate) of all such
Preferred Shares being sold to the Company, or (y) the Liquidation Preference
for the Preferred Shares being sold to the Company divided by the then
applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate) multiplied by the
greater of the last closing price of the Common Stock on (i) the redemption date
or (ii) the Trigger Date, in each case payable in cash, and (II) for the
Warrants, the difference between the greater of clauses (i) or (ii) above and
the exercise price of the Warrants, multiplied by the number of Warrants being
sold to the Company, payable in cash.
Section 3.16 Fulfillment of Obligations. The Company's obligation to
issue Common Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares and exercise of the
Warrants shall be absolute and unconditional, is independent of any covenant of
any holder of Preferred Shares or Warrants, and shall not be subject to: (i) any
offset or defense; or (ii) any claims against the holders of Preferred Shares or
Warrants whether pursuant to this Agreement, the Certificate, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Warrants or otherwise.
Section 3.17 Expenses. Regardless of whether the Closing occurs, the
Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor for any and all actual
out-of-pocket fees, costs, disbursements and expenses of the Investor (including
without limitation reasonable travel and reasonable legal fees and
disbursements) in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the
Transactions Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. On
the Closing Date, the Company shall either pay the amount estimated to be due
for such fees and expenses (which may with the consent of the Company include
fees and expenses estimated to be incurred for completion of the transaction
including post-closing matters) or direct the Investor to offset such amount
from the Purchase Price paid hereunder. In the event such amount is ultimately
less than
17
18
the actual fees and expenses, the Company shall promptly pay such deficiency
upon demand therefor. In the event such amount is ultimately greater than the
actual fees and expenses, such excess shall be returned promptly to the Company.
Section 3.18 Augustine Agreement. The Company represents and warrants
that it has delivered to the Investor true, correct and complete copies of the
Augustine Agreement and all agreements and documents entered into in connection
therewith or related thereto, as amended up until and including the date hereof
(the "AUGUSTINE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"), and the Company agrees that it shall
not in any way amend, modify, extend or terminate any of the Augustine
Transaction Documents or any provision thereof, including without limitation
Sections 4(j) or 4(l) of the Augustine Agreement, nor enter into any new
agreement or arrangement with the Augustine Fund, L.P. which would have the
direct or indirect effect of altering any of the terms or provisions of the
Augustine Transaction Documents (including without limitation Sections 4(j) and
4(l) of the Augustine Agreement), without the prior written consent of the
Investor which may be withheld in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE IV
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent,
and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Common Shares in such
amounts as specified from time to time by the Investor to the Company upon
delivery of a conversion notice pursuant to the Certificate or a notice of
election to purchase pursuant to the Warrants (the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT
INSTRUCTIONS"). The Company warrants that no instruction relating to the Common
Shares other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in
this Article IV will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Common Shares shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the
Company as contemplated by Article VI below when the legend referred to therein
may be removed. Nothing in this Article IV shall affect in any way the
Investor's obligations and agreements to comply with all applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Common Shares. The Company
shall instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name
and in such denominations as specified by the Investor and without any
restrictive legends. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor 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 Section will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the
Investor 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 and without any bond or other
security being required.

LEGEND AND STOCK
Upon payment therefor as provided in this Agreement, the Company will
issue one or more Warrants and certificates representing the Preferred Shares in
the name the Investor and in such denominations to be specified by the Investor
prior to (or from time to time subsequent to) Closing. Each of the Warrants and
certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and any Common Shares issued
upon conversion or exercise thereof prior to such Common Shares being registered
under the 1933 Act for resale or available for resale under Rule 144 under the
1933 Act, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in
the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR OFFER OR SALE UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OFFERED FOR SALE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM
SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates for Preferred Shares
and/or Warrants without the legend set forth above at such time as (i) the
holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Preferred Shares and/or Warrants
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, or (ii) such Preferred Shares or Warrants
are sold to a purchaser or purchasers who (in the opinion of counsel to the
seller or such purchaser(s), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Company and its counsel) are able to dispose of such securities publicly
without registration under the Act.
Prior to the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) being declared effective, any Common Shares issued pursuant to
conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of Warrants shall bear a legend in
the same form as the legend indicated above; provided that such legend shall be
removed from such Common Shares and the Company shall issue new certificates
without such legend if (i) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such
Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) such Common Shares
are registered for resale under the 1933 Act and the Investors covenant to
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act, or
(iii) such Common Shares are sold to a purchaser or purchasers who (in the
opinion of counsel to the seller or such purchaser(s), in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and it counsel) are able to dispose of
such shares publicly without registration under the 1933 Act. Upon such
Registration Statement becoming effective, the Company agrees to promptly, but
no later than three (3) business days
21
22
thereafter, issue new certificates representing such Common Shares without such
legend, and any Common Shares issued after the Registration Statement has become
effective shall be free and clear of any legends, transfer restrictions and stop
orders, provided in each case that the Investors covenant to comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the
removal of such legend, the Investor agrees to sell the Common Shares
represented by the new certificates in accordance with the applicable prospectus
delivery requirements (if copies of a current prospectus are provided to the
Investor by the Company) or in accordance with an exemption from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
Nothing herein shall limit the right of any holder to pledge these
securities pursuant to a bona fide margin account or lending arrangement entered
into in compliance with law, including applicable securities laws.

Section 8.1 Company Indemnity. In consideration of the Investor's
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
and acquiring the Preferred Shares and Warrants hereunder and in addition to all
of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company
shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and all of its
partners, officers, directors, employees, members and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing person's agents or other representatives
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "INDEMNITEES")
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses,
costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action
for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including all reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements of one law firm (and local counsel where
necessary) (the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), 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 or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(b)
22
23
any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in
the Transaction Documents or any other certificate or document contemplated
hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made
against such Indemnitee by a third party and arising out of or resulting from
(i) the execution, delivery, performance or breach by the Company or enforcement
of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance
of the Preferred Shares or (iii) solely due to the status of the Investor as
holder of the Preferred Shares or Warrants, and (d) the enforcement of this
Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not
include any liability of any Indemnitee arising solely out of such Indemnitee's
willful misconduct or fraudulent action(s). 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. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the
rights and obligations under this Article VIII shall be the same as those set
forth in Section 6 (other than Section 6(b)) of the Registration Rights
Agreement, including, without limitation, those procedures with respect to the
settlement of claims and Company's right to assume the defense of claims.

Section 9.7 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective successors and assigns, including any Permitted Assignee (as
defined below). The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor,
including by merger or consolidation; provided that the Company may assign this
Agreement by operation of law in connection with any merger, the sole purpose of
which is to effect a change of the Company's state of incorporation and/or an
increase of the number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Each
Investor may assign some or all of its rights hereunder to any person or entity
to which such Investor transfers Preferred Shares or Warrants, without the
consent of the Company (a "PERMITTED ASSIGNEE"); provided, however, that any
such assignment shall not release the Investor from its obligations hereunder
unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has
consented to such assignment and assumption (which may not be unreasonably
withheld). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction
Documents, the Investor shall be entitled to pledge the Preferred Shares,
Warrants or Common Shares in connection with a bona fide margin account.
Section 9.8 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.
Section 9.9 Survival. The representations, warranties and agreements of
the Company and the Investor contained in the Agreement shall survive the
Closing.

Investor shall have the right to approve before issuance any press releases or
any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby.
Section 9.11 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.
Section 9.12 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.
Section 9.13 Remedies. The Investor and each Permitted Assignee shall
have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies which such holders have been
granted at any time under any other agreement or
26
27
contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any person
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or the Registration
Rights 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 or the Registration Rights Agreement and to
exercise all other rights granted by law. The Investor and each Permitted
Assignee without prejudice may withdraw, revoke or suspend its pursuit of any
remedy at any time prior to its complete recovery as a result of such remedy.
Section 9.14 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to the Investor hereunder or under the Registration Rights
Agreement or the 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, 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.
Section 9.15 Days. Unless the context refers to "business days" or
"trading days", all references herein to "days" shall mean calendar days.
Section 9.16 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of)
the Transaction Documents, wherever the Investor exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not fully
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the
Investor in its sole discretion may rescind or withdraw from time to time any
relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its
future actions and rights.
