Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at each Closing the Company shall sell and issue to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, the number of shares of Preferred Stock set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser with respect to such Closing under the heading “Number of Shares of Preferred Stock to Be Purchased” on Schedule I (the “Shares”), at the aggregate purchase price set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser with respect to such Closing under the heading “Aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares to Be Purchased” on Schedule I, payable as set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.

3. Representations of the Company. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports (as defined below), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:
3.1. Organization and Corporate Power; No Violations. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities or contractual rights of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”). The Company has all required corporate power and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the other agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby (collectively with this Agreement, the “Financing Documents”), and generally to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company is not in violation of any term of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, (the “Restated Charter”) or By-laws, and to the Company’s knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any term of any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or government regulation applicable to the Company or to which the Company is a party, where any such violation, noncompliance or default would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
3.2. Authorization. The Financing Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms. The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Preferred Stock
2
in accordance with this Agreement, and the issuance, sale and delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), have been, or will be prior to the Initial Closing, duly authorized and reserved for issuance, as the case may be, by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Preferred Stock when so issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and the Conversion Shares, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except (i) for the filing of the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (ii) for the filing of a Form D and other blue sky filings with the SEC (as defined below) and applicable state securities agencies, and (iii) that the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the Conversion Shares (other than the Shares being sold at the Initial Closing and the related Conversion Shares) requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1) (the “Required Stockholder Approval”), no consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or any other person or entity is required of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents, or the issuance, sale and delivery of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents.
3.3. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company (immediately prior to the Initial Closing and after giving effect to the Certificate of Designation) will consist of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, (the “Common Stock”) 13,083,019 of which shares are issued and outstanding, and one million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, two thousand five hundred (2,500) of which are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws.
3.4. SEC Reports. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Exchange Act during the period from November 30, 2001 to the applicable Closing Date (the “SEC Reports”) have been, or will be, furnished or are, or will be, publicly available to the Purchasers. The Company has filed, or will file, in a timely manner all SEC Reports that the Company was, or will be, required to file under the Exchange Act during, from and after November 30, 2001 to the applicable Closing Date. Such SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the SEC’s requirements as of their respective filing dates, and the information contained therein as of the respective dates thereof did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under where they were made not misleading.
3.5. Financial Statements. The audited financial statements of the Company contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2002, including the notes relating thereto, disclose all material liabilities of the Company as of the date thereof. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
3
accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved. Said financial statements and related notes fairly present the financial position and the results of operations and cash flow of Company as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods indicated. Since November 30, 2002, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, financial condition, operations, results of operations, assets, employee relations, customer or supplier relations of the Company, except as contemplated and set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended November 30, 2002 or any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for any subsequent period or any Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company.
3.6. Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company owns or possesses sufficient rights to use all material patents, patent rights, trademarks, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, trade names and know-how (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) as are owned or used by it or that are necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted except where the failure to currently own or possess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any notice of, nor has it any knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of the Company by others with respect to any Intellectual Property, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, no product or process presently used or proposed to be manufactured, marketed, offered, sold or used by the Company will violate any license or infringe on any intellectual property rights of any other Person, except as could not reasonable be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.7. Litigation. There is no litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending against the Company or against any officer or key employee of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company which may have a Material Adverse Effect or which may call into question the validity, or materially hinder the enforceability or performance, of the Financing Documents.
3.8. Investment Company/Government Regulations. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company is not subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, or any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness.
3.9. Private Offering. No form of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the Company or its representatives in connection with the offer or sale of the Preferred Stock. No registration of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or the state securities or “blue sky” laws will be required by the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or of the Conversion Shares, other than the filing of a Form D and other “blue sky” filings (such as a Form U-2) with the SEC and applicable state securities agencies. The Company agrees that neither it, nor anyone acting on its behalf, will offer or sell the Preferred Stock or any other security so as to require the registration of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of the
4
Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws, unless such Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is so registered.
3.10. Insurance. The Company carries insurance covering its properties and businesses customary for the type and scope of its properties and business, but in any event in amounts sufficient to prevent the Company from becoming a co-insurer. All such policies are in full force and effect, and are underwritten by financially sound and reputable insurers. All such policies will remain in full force and effect and will not in any way be affected by, or terminate or lapse by reason of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3A. Covenant of the Company. The Company hereby agrees that if on September 19, 2003, the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company is less than $3,400,000, then the Company shall pay, on the earliest to occur of (i) May 31, 2004, (ii) the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Stock by the Company, and (iii) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (as that term is used in Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation), a cumulative cash dividend (out of funds legally available therefor) to the holders of record of shares of the Preferred Stock on May 1, 2004 such dividend in an amount equal to $100 per share (subject to appropriate equitable adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the shares of Preferred Stock) (the “Initial Dividend”).
The “Deficiency Payment Amount” with respect to any fiscal quarter shall be an amount equal to: (a) $50 per share of Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate equitable adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the shares of Preferred Stock) if on May 31, 2004 or on the last day of any fiscal quarter thereafter, the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company is less than $4,900,000 (the first such fiscal quarter the “Applicable Quarter”), unless after the Applicable Quarter the Stockholder’s Equity Threshold was met in which case the Deficiency Payment Amount shall be zero; or (b) $50 per share of Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate equitable adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the shares of Preferred Stock) if on any fiscal quarter end after the Stockholders’ Equity Threshold is met, the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company is less than $5,500,000 (a “Subsequent Applicable Quarter”), unless the Stockholder’s Equity Threshold is met after such Subsequent Applicable Quarter in which case the Deficiency Payment Amount shall be zero. For avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of (a) and (b) above, the Deficiency Payment Amount shall be zero for the fiscal quarter end in which the Stockholder’s Equity Threshold is met and only one $50 Deficiency Payment Amount shall arise for any fiscal quarter (whether under (a) or (b), but not both).
As soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q or 10-K for the period then ended, the Company shall deliver to the holders of record of shares of the Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth the Stockholder’s Equity for the fiscal quarter then ended.
On June 30, 2004 and for each September 30 and December 31, March 31 and June 30 thereafter (each a “Deficiency Payment Date”), for so long as shares of the Preferred
5
Stock remains outstanding, the Company shall pay in cash (out of funds legally available therefor) to the holders of record of shares of the Preferred Stock as of May 31, August 30, November 30, February 28, respectively, for such quarter an amount equal to the Deficiency Payment Amount (which shall be cumulative) determined in accordance with the second paragraph of this Section 3A, if any, for the fiscal quarter ended immediately preceding such Deficiency Payment Date (i.e. with respect to each June 30, May 31; with respect to each September 30, August 31; with respect to each December 31, November 30; and with respect to each March 31, February 28), plus all or any part of the Initial Dividend, if any, and all or any part of the Deficiency Payment Amounts, if any, which were payable on any previous Deficiency Payment Dates but were not actually paid. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount required to be paid on any Deficiency Payment Date shall be paid on the earliest to occur of (i) such Deficiency Payment Date, (ii) the redemption or repurchase of the Preferred Stock by the Company, and (iii) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (as that term is used in Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation). For avoidance of doubt, if any amounts due on any Deficiency Payment Date are not actually paid because funds are not legally available therefor, then such amounts shall be payable on each subsequent Deficiency Payment Date until actually paid.
For purposes of this Section 3A, “Stockholders’ Equity” shall mean the amount, as determined by the Company, for such fiscal quarter end listed opposite the heading “Total Stockholders’ Equity” on the Company’s balance sheet filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q or 10-K (or any successor form) excluding the cumulative effect of the following from the Closing Date to the fiscal quarter then ended (i) the effect of FAS 148 (accounting for stock options), if enacted, (ii) foreign currency translation gains and losses, (iii) dividends paid on the Company’s capital stock (including any and all dividends paid to the holders of shares of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3A), (iv) the effect of any future equity financing, provided, that the effect of the sale of up to 2,500 shares of Preferred Stock or the issuance or sale of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or any other employee stock purchase, option or incentive plan shall not be excluded from the calculation of Stockholders’ Equity, (v) the negative effect on the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Company’s balance sheet of any new accounting pronouncement by the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, any other applicable regulatory or accounting standards authority or any successor agency or authority thereto, (vi) restructuring charges in an amount not to exceed $400,000.00, in the aggregate, and (vii) all losses, damages, liabilities and costs incurred by the Company in connection with any pending or threatened actions or proceedings by or on behalf of any, current or former, employee or shareholder of the Company (including, without limitation, any amount paid or incurred in settlement thereof).
For purposes of this Section 3A, if the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company equals or exceeds $5,500,000 at the end of any two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters after the Applicable Quarter, then the “Stockholder Equity Threshold” shall be deemed have been met as of the first day of such second fiscal quarter.
