aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would
reasonably be expected to (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) prevent or
materially delay the consummation of the Transactions. There exists no reason or
cause that could justify the variation, suspension, cancellation or termination
11
of any such Governmental Licenses held by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
with respect to the current or contemplated operation of their respective
businesses, which variation, suspension, cancellation or termination would
reasonably be expected to (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) prevent or
materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

the Company and all of the Subsidiaries have used, and currently uses, domestic
and foreign patents and patent applications, inventions, patent licenses,
software licenses, know-how licenses, trade names, trademarks (registered or
unregistered), copyrights (registered or unregistered), service marks
(registered or unregistered), uniform resource locators ("URLs"), Internet
domain names, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information
(collectively the "Intellectual Property"). Schedule 3.11 of the Company
Disclosure Schedule lists all, (i) registered Intellectual Property (and
applications for registration thereof) and (ii) licenses which are of material
importance to the operation of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary
(collectively the "Company Intellectual Property"). Unless otherwise indicated
in the Commission Filings or on Schedule 3.11 of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, the Company (or the Subsidiary indicated) owns the entire right, title
and interest in and to the Company Intellectual Property listed on such Schedule
3.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (including, without limitation, the
exclusive right to xxx and license the same) free and clear of any Liens (and
without obligation to pay any royalty or other fee with respect thereto). Each
item constituting part of the Company Intellectual Property which is owned by
the Company (or the Subsidiary indicated) and listed on Schedule 3.11 of the
Company Disclosure Schedule has been, to the extent indicated in Schedule 3.11
of the Company Disclosure Schedule, duly registered with, filed in or issued by,
as the case may be, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or such other
government entities, domestic or foreign, or a duly accredited and appropriate
domain name registrar and such registrations, filings and issuances remain in
full force and effect.
No Company operations (including products or services of the Company or any
Subsidiary) now infringe upon any other Person's Intellectual Property rights
except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Company Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 3.11 of the Company
Disclosure Schedule has been canceled, abandoned, adjudicated invalid, or to
Company's knowledge become subject to any outstanding judgment, order, decree,
ruling, injunction, writ or consent restricting their use or adversely affecting

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and all maintenance fees and renewal
fees (if applicable) in respect thereof have been duly paid. Except as stated in
Schedule 3.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no pending or to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened proceedings or litigation or other claims
adversely affecting the Company Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 3.11 of
the Company Disclosure Schedule except as would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, except as
indicated on Schedule 3.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no Person is

Property.

or former employees, agents, directors, or independent contractors of the
Company or its Subsidiaries ("Employees") participate or pursuant to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a liability with respect to Employees
(each, an "Employee Plan"). Except as disclosed in the Commission Filings or on

Effect, or as disclosed on Schedule 3.12.
(c) Each Employee Plan which is intended to be "qualified" within the
meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination
letter or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, (or has submitted,

determination letter and is awaiting a response from the Internal Revenue
Service) and, to the Company's knowledge, no event has occurred and no condition
exists which could reasonably be expected to result in the revocation of any
such determination letter or opinion letter.
(d) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary currently maintains or
contributes to, or has at any time within the four-year period ending on the
date hereof maintained or contributed to or been obligated to contribute to, any
plan, program or arrangement covered by Title IV of ERISA or subject to Section

knowledge, any other "disqualified person" or "party in interest" (as defined in
Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code and Section 3(14) of ERISA, respectively) has
engaged in any transactions in connection with any Employee Plan that could
reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a material penalty
pursuant to Section 502 of ERISA, material damages pursuant to Section 409 of
ERISA or a material tax pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code.
(f) Except as set forth in the Commission Filings or on Schedule 3.12 of
the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the execution or delivery of the
Financing Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby, constitutes an event under any Employee Plan, loan to, or individual
agreement or contract with, an Employee that may reasonably be expected to
result in any material payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise),

payment or vesting, increase in benefits or compensation, or required funding,
with respect to any Employee, or the forgiveness of any loan or other commitment
of any Employees.
(g) There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, inquiries, investigations or
other proceedings (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or, to the
13
Company's knowledge, threatened, with respect to any Employee Plan, except for
any of the foregoing that do not and would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) No amounts paid or payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to or with
respect to any Employee (including any such amounts that may be payable as a
result of the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) will fail to be
deductible for United States federal income tax purposes by reason of Section
280G of the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with the terms and provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act
of 1986, as amended, and all related regulations promulgated thereunder (the
"Immigration Laws"). With respect to each employee of the Company and the
Subsidiaries for whom compliance with the Immigration Laws is required, the
Company has supplied, or shall supply prior to the Closing Date, to Purchaser
such employee's Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification Form) and all
other records, documents or other papers which are retained with the Form I-9 by
the employer pursuant to the Immigration Laws. The Company and the Subsidiaries
have never been the subject of any inspection or investigation relating to its

caused to be timely filed all material United States federal, state,

basis other than Taxes which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, diligently pursued, and which have been fully
reserved on the balance sheet of the Company. The amount of the liability
of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries for unpaid Taxes for all
periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before September 30, 2001, does
not, in the aggregate, materially exceed the amount of the current
liability accrual for Taxes (excluding reserves for deferred Taxes)
reflected on the Company's September 30, 2001 balance sheet; and all Tax
liabilities of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries since such time
have been incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company or the

thereof), examination reports, statements of deficiencies assessed against
or agreed to by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other
similar correspondence from a taxing authority, relating to taxable years
1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000.

(iii) if any shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of

Warrant Shares is no longer restricted by the Securities Act and outside counsel
for the Company reasonably concurs in such determination.

remains outstanding under the Debentures, the Company will not, and will cause
its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any transaction with any current director,
officer or Affiliate of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, except for (i)
Contracts that are determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the

Subsidiaries not to, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber in any manner
(other than granting non-exclusive licenses and sublicenses of software in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice) any assets (an

provided that the Company may make other Asset Dispositions if:
(i) the Company receives consideration (including by way of relief
from, or by any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any
liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition
at least equal to the fair market value as determined in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the shares and assets subject to such
Asset Disposition,
(ii) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Company
is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, and
(iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such
Asset Disposition is applied by the Company:
(A) first, to the extent the Company elects (or is required by
the terms of any Indebtedness of the Company), to prepay, repay,
redeem or purchase the Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to any
senior credit facility or other Senior Indebtedness) or to reinvest in
24
Additional Assets, in each case, within 180 days after the later of

Cash after application in accordance with clause (A), to make an Offer
(as defined in Section 6.2(b)) to purchase Debentures pursuant to and
subject to the conditions of Section 6.2(b); provided, however, that
if the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any other
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that

with the Debentures in rights of payment and which is not by its terms
subordinated to any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which is not Senior Indebtedness (as such term is defined

"Senior Subordinated Indebtedness"), such Offer may be made ratably to
purchase the Debentures and such other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness of the Company; and
(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available
Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), for any

pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Debentures (and other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness) (the "Offer") at a purchase price of 100% of their
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date
of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant date to
receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) in accordance with
the procedures (including pro-rating in the event of over subscription), set
forth in the Financing Documents. If the aggregate purchase price of Debentures
(and other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to the Offer is
less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase of the Debentures (and
other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness), the Company shall apply the remaining
Net Available Cash in accordance with Section 6.2(a)(iii)(C). The Company will
not be required to make an Offer for Debentures (and other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness) pursuant to this Section 6.2 if the Net Available Cash available
therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in Section
6.2(a)(iii)(A)) is less than $250,000 for any particular Asset Disposition

(c) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the
requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws
or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Debentures (and other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness) pursuant to this Section 6.2. To the extent that the

compensation under any equity incentive plan).

outstanding under the Debentures, the Company will not, and will cause its
Subsidiaries not to, establish any subsidiaries unless the subsidiary becomes a
co-borrower or guarantor of the Debentures and the Indebtedness of such
subsidiary, when incurred, would constitute a Permitted Encumbrance as such term
is defined in Section 6.5 below if incurred by the Company. The Company shall

transfer all or substantially all its assets, except (i) that any Subsidiary may

the Debentures (including any additional Debentures issued by the Company to the

Financing Documents; (vi) indebtedness for money borrowed in respect of
performance bonds, bankers' acceptances, letters of credit and surety or appeal
bonds provided by the Company in the ordinary course of business; and (vii)
obligations owed pursuant to operating leases entered into in the ordinary
course of business (collectively, the "Permitted Encumbrances").
Section 6.6 Nature of Business. So long as any Indebtedness remains
outstanding under the Debentures, the Company shall not, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to not, change the nature of its business operations or its form of
entity in a manner that imposes unlimited liability on the equity holders of the
Company.
Section 6.7 No Encumbrances. So long as any Indebtedness remains
outstanding under the Debentures, the Company shall not and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to not, permit to exist against any of its material assets any

shares of Common Stock (which equals 19.999% of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the trading day immediately preceding the date hereof (the
"Issuable Maximum")) . In the event that the Company issues warrants exercisable
into shares of Common Stock in excess of the Issuable Maximum, the Company shall
use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Required Stockholder Approval
thereafter. "Required Stockholder Approval" shall mean the vote of the Company's
stockholders as required by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ (or any

counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense.

hereunder will be treated by the parties on their tax returns as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price. If, notwithstanding such treatment by the parties, a
final determination with respect to the Indemnified Party or any of its
affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to
Purchase Price, then the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified
Party for any taxes payable by the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary by reason
of the receipt of such payment (including any payments under this 8.1(e)),
determined at an assumed marginal tax rate equal to the highest marginal tax
rate then in effect for corporate taxpayers in the relevant jurisdiction.

34
be entitled to specific performance in addition to any other appropriate relief
or remedy. Such party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of competent
jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such

liable for or in respect of this Agreement with the transactions contemplated
hereby.
Section 8.19 Tax Matters.
(a) The Company and the Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree that the
Debenture and Warrant issued to each Purchaser constitute an investment unit
within the meaning of section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. The Company and the
Purchasers hereby further acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of allocating
the issue price of the investment unit between the Debentures and the Warrants
pursuant to section 1.1273-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations, the Company shall
engage an independent third party reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers to
determine the fair market value of the Warrants issued at Closing. Such
determination shall be made within seventy-five (75) days of Closing. The
Company and the Purchasers agree that they will report consistently with such
determination for all income tax purposes with respect to the Warrant and
Debentures.
(b) The Company and the Purchasers hereby acknowledge that the amount and
timing of certain payments on the Debentures may be affected by contingencies,
and that if such payments were to qualify as "contingent payments" for federal
income tax purposes, the Debentures would be treated as contingent payment debt
instruments subject to section 1.1275-4 of the Treasury Regulations. The Company
has determined that all such contingencies are remote and/or incidental within
the meaning of section 1.1275-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations and, pursuant to
section 1.1275-4(b)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, the Debentures do not
constitute contingent payment debt instruments subject to section 1.1275-4 of
the Treasury Regulations. The Company shall report consistently with the
preceding sentence for all income tax purposes. The Company shall not take any
position that a change in circumstances has occurred within the meaning of
section 1.1275-2(h)(6)(i) of the Treasury Regulations or with respect to any
deemed retirement and reissuance of the Debentures pursuant to section
1.1275-2(h)(6)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations without consent of the
Purchasers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
