existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is organized and has all requisite corporate power and authority for
the ownership and operation of its properties and for the carrying on of its
business as now conducted and as now proposed to be conducted. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as a
foreign corporation authorized to do business in all jurisdictions in which the
character of the property owned or leased, or the nature of the activities
conducted, by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary and where
failure to qualify would have a material adverse effect upon such corporation.
(b) CORPORATE ACTION. The Company has all necessary corporate power
and has taken all corporate action required to make all the provisions of this
Agreement, and any other agreements and instruments executed in connection
herewith, the valid and enforceable obligations of the Company.
(c) GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. No authorization, consent, approval,
license, exemption of or filing or registration with any court or governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, is or will be necessary for, or in connection with the execution or
delivery by the Company of, or for the performance by it of its obligations
under, this Agreement or the Certificate of Amendment except for filings to be
made, if any, to comply with exemptions from registration or qualification under
federal and state securities laws.
(d) LITIGATION. Except as disclosed on the Disclosure Letter, there
is no litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending nor, to the
best knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or its
Subsidiaries affecting any of their properties or assets, or, to the knowledge
of the Company, against any officer or key employee of the Company or its
Subsidiaries or the Stockholders that might result, either in any case or in the
aggregate, in any material adverse change in the business, operations, affairs
or conditions of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or
assets taken as a whole, or that might call into question the validity of this
Agreement, any of the Shares, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto.
(e) COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance in all respects with the terms and provisions of
their certificates of incorporation or bylaws and in all material respects with

respects with the terms and provisions of each mortgage, indenture, lease,
agreement and other instrument relating to obligations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in excess of $25,000, individually or $100,000 in the aggregate,

in any of the foregoing documents and instruments that the Company believes are
likely to materially adversely affects the business, assets or financial
condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or the Certificate of Amendment, nor the consummation
of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, has constituted or resulted
in or will constitute or result in a default or violation of any term or
provision in the certificates of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or its
Subsidiaries and to the best of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' knowledge,
has constituted or resulted in a default or violation of any term or provision
in any documents or instruments.

ARTICLE 8
RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN FINANCINGS
8.1 RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. Until the Company has completed a Qualified
Public Offering, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree to issue,
sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, for
cash or cash equivalents (i) any shares of Common Stock, (ii) any other equity
security of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Preferred
Stock, (iii) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any equity security of the Company, or (iv) any Debt
Securities, unless in each such case the Company shall have first received an
unconditional bona fide offer from a third party to purchase such securities
(the "Offered Securities") and shall have offered to sell the Offered Securities
to the Investors as follows: the Company shall offer to sell to the Investors,
as a group, that number of the Offered Securities so that the Investors shall
retain their then existing equity percentage of the Company on a fully diluted
basis. For purposes of making this calculation, the Preferred Stock, and all
other outstanding convertible instruments, and options and warrants to purchase
common stock shall be deemed to be converted or exercised, issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
The Company shall offer to sell to each Investor (a) that portion of
the Offered Securities as the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
equivalents, including the Preferred Stock, then held by or issuable to such
Investor bears to the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company, plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants or
options or upon conversion of convertible securities of the Company (the "Basic
Amount"); and (b) any additional portion of the Offered Securities as such
Investors shall indicate it will purchase, but not to exceed the aggregate of
all the Basic Amounts should the other Investors subscribe for less than their
Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), at a price and on the other
terms specified by the Company in writing delivered to such Investor (the
"Offer"), and the Offer by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a
period of ten (10) days.
8.2 NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE. Notice of each Investor's intention to accept,
in whole or in part, an Offer made pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be evidenced by
a writing signed by such Investor and delivered to the Company prior to the end
of the ten (10) day period of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the
Investor's Basic Amount that such Investor elects to purchase and, if such
Investor shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription
Amount that such Investor shall elect to purchase, if any (the "Notice of
Acceptance"). If the securities subscribed for by all Investors in the aggregate
are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Investor who has
set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be
entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amount subscribed for, the
Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that should
the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the
Basic Amounts and the aggregate amount of the securities subscribed for (the
"Available Undersubscription Amount"), each Investor who has subscribed for any
Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the
Available Undersubscription Amount as the Undersubscription Amount subscribed
for by such Investors bears to the total Undersubscription Amounts subscribed
for by all Investors, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the
extent it reasonably deems necessary.
31
8.3 CONDITIONS TO ACCEPTANCE BY INVESTOR.
(a) PERMITTED SALES OF REFUSED SECURITIES. The Company shall have

Acceptance has not been given by the Investors (the "Refused Securities") to the
Person or Persons specified in the Offer, but only upon terms and conditions,
including, without limitation, unit price and interest rates, which are not more
favorable, in unit price and interest rates, in the aggregate, to such other
Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the
Offer.
(b) REDUCTION IN AMOUNT OF OFFERED SECURITIES. In the event the
Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such
sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 8.3(a) above),
then each Investor may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce
the number of, or other units of the Offered Securities specified in its
respective Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the
amount of the Offered Securities that the Investor elected to purchase pursuant
to Section 8.2 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the
amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to sell, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the amount of all originally Offered Securities.
In the event that any Investor so elects to reduce the number or amount of
Offered Securities specified in its respective Notice of Acceptance, the Company
may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of the Offered
Securities until such securities have again been offered to the Investors in
accordance with Section 8.1.
(c) CLOSING. Upon the closing of the sale of securities by the
Company on the terms set forth in the Offer, to such other Person or Persons of
all or less than all the Offered Securities not being purchased by the
Investors, the Investors shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall
sell to the Investors, the number of Offered Securities specified in the Notices
of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 8.3(b) if the Investors have so
elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.

Subsidiary pursuant to any stock option agreement or plan or stock purchase
agreement or plan approved by a vote of not less than a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company,

(c) issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with an
acquisition or merger by the Company, or
(d) shares sold in a Qualified Public Offering.
8.6 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS. An Investor may assign its rights hereunder in
connection with any transfer of the Preferred Stock. In addition, in the event
that the Company shall offer to sell any Offered Securities to the Investors
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, any Investor may assign its rights
