This COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated
as of May 4, 2005 by and among Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and the purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto (each
a "Purchaser" and collectively, the "Purchasers"), for the purchase and sale of
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock") by the Purchasers.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Common Stock and Warrants.
(a) Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue
and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company,
an aggregate of 13,924,606 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at a price per
share of $.44 (the "Per Share Purchase Price") for a cash purchase price of
$2,250,000 and $3,524,388 stated value of shares of Series F Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), which Series F
Preferred Stock shall be exchanged for a number of Shares equal to 110% of the
stated value per share of Series F Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase
price of $5,774,388 (the "Purchase Price"). Each Purchaser shall pay the portion
of the Purchase Price set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto. The
Company acknowledges that a portion of the Purchase Price shall be paid by
certain Purchasers surrendering to the Company for cancellation shares of Series
F Preferred Stock. The Company further acknowledges that $500,000 of the cash
portion of the Purchase Price has been advanced to the Company by certain
Purchasers in the form of promissory notes previously issued by the Company and
will be exchanged for Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Company and the
Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in
reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section
4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"), including Regulation
D ("Regulation D"), and/or upon such other exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or
all of the investments to be made hereunder.
(b) Upon the following terms and conditions and for no additional
consideration, each of the Purchasers shall be issued Warrants, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Warrants"), to purchase the number
of shares of Common Stock equal to thirty percent (30%) of the number of Shares
purchased by each Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as set
forth opposite such Purchaser's name on Exhibit A hereto. The Warrants shall
expire three (3) years from the Closing Date and shall have an exercise price
per share equal to $1.00. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants (and such shares when issued) are herein referred to as the
"Warrant Shares." The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Securities."
1
(c) In the event that a Purchaser would own in excess of 9.99% of the
Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined below), such Purchaser
may purchase shares of the Company's Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series G Preferred Stock") set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto.
This Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and
warranties contained herein, shall apply to the purchase of the Series G
Preferred Stock and, accordingly, any reference in this Agreement to "Shares"
shall also be deemed to include shares of the Series G Preferred Stock and any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock.
The Series G Preferred Stock pays no dividends and shall convert into Common
Stock when such Purchaser's beneficial ownership percentage falls below 9.99%.
The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of the
Series G Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the
Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock
attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Certificate of Designation").

express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the

representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement,
unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article VII hereof, the
Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the number of Shares
and Warrants, set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A. The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants to be acquired by
the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement shall take place at the

herewith. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
each Purchaser (i) a certificate registered in the name of the Purchaser
representing the number of Shares as is set forth opposite the name of such
Purchaser on Exhibit A, (ii) a Warrant to purchase such number of shares of
Common Stock as is set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser on Exhibit A
and (iii) any other deliveries as required by Article IV. At the Closing, each
Purchaser shall deliver its portion of the Purchase Price by wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company.

Closing, each Purchaser exchanging shares of Series F Preferred Stock for Shares
such Purchaser shall surrender to the Company its certificates representing its
shares of Series F Preferred Stock and upon the Closing, such Purchaser shall
receive in exchange for the surrender of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock
a number of Shares and Warrants as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Upon

shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall
automatically be deemed cancelled irrespective of whether the original
certificates representing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are delivered
to the Company.

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows, as of the date
hereof and the Closing Date, except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions
attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number
herein:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is
now being conducted. The Company does not have any Subsidiaries (as defined in
Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set
forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as
defined in Section 2.1(g)) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which
the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any effect on the
business, results of operations, prospects, assets or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company and its
subsidiaries and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would
prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company from
entering into and performing any of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents (as defined below) in any material respect.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the
Warrants, the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined in Section 3.19 hereof) a form of

hereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the
"Registration Rights Agreement" and, together with this Agreement, the
Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, the "Transaction Documents") and to
issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and to
complete the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been
duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as
set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of the
Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and
delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
3
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company as of
May 4, 2005 is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock and any other outstanding security of the Company
have been duly and validly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and were issued in accordance with the registration or
qualification provisions of the Securities Act, or pursuant to valid exemptions
therefrom. Except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on Schedule
2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company
are entitled to preemptive rights, registration rights, rights of first refusal
or similar rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights
to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the
Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on
Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except for customary
transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in
order to sell restricted securities or as provided on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto,
the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding
granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any
of its equity or debt securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c), the
Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or
understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital
stock of the Company. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(c), (i) there are no
outstanding debt securities, or other form of material debt of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are no contracts, commitments,
understandings, agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is required to register the sale of any of their securities under
the Securities Act, (iii) there are no outstanding securities of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and

Persons beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act) or has the right to acquire by agreement with or by
obligation binding upon the Company, beneficial ownership of in excess of 5% of
the Common Stock. Any Person with any right to purchase securities of the
Company that would be triggered as a result of the transactions contemplated
hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents has waived such rights or
the time for the exercise of such rights has passed, except where failure of the
Company to receive such waiver would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c), there are no options, warrants or other
outstanding securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any equity
securities issued pursuant to any Company Plan) the vesting of which will be
accelerated by the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other
Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(c),
4
none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any of the other
Transaction Documents shall cause, directly or indirectly, the acceleration of
vesting of any options issued pursuant the Company's stock option plans.

at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and,

paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights
of refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded
to a holder of Common Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") or
Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), each as amended to date, or any Subsidiary's comparable
charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries' respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a
violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or
affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or
(iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for
such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations
and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required
under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any
of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or issue and sell the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings, consents

(f) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of
the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities

otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the
capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants
or options of the type described in the preceding sentence except as set forth
on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is party to,
nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of
any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary.

ordinary course of the Company's or its Subsidiaries respective
6

participated in any transaction material to the condition of the Company which
is outside of the ordinary course of its business.
(j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since September 30, 2004,
except as disclosed in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(j) hereto, no
event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, operations or financial
condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public
disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed.
(k) Indebtedness. The Commission Documents or Schedule 2.1(k) hereto

and valid title to all of its real and personal property reflected in the
Commission Documents, free and clear of any mortgages, pledges, charges, liens,
security interests or other encumbrances, except for those indicated in the
Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(l) hereto or such that, individually or
in the aggregate, do not cause a Material Adverse Effect. All such leases of the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force
and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending

outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court,
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any
Subsidiary or any officers or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary in

7

Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances, except as set forth in the Commission Documents or on Schedule
2.1(n) hereto or such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance
therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses,
consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals
necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless
the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other

Schedule 2.1(o) hereto, the Company and each of the Subsidiaries has accurately
prepared and filed all federal, state and other tax returns required by law to
be filed by it, has paid all taxes shown to be due and all additional

hereto, none of the federal income tax returns of the Company or any Subsidiary

(q) Disclosure. Neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any
other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Purchasers by or
on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
herein or therein, not misleading.
(r) Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(r), the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries is the owner of all, or has a license under
all of, the material Copyrights, Patents, Trade Secrets, Trademarks, Internet
Assets, Software and other proprietary rights (collectively, "Intellectual
Property") that are used in connection with its business as presently conducted,
free and clear of all liens or other encumbrances.
(i) None of the Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is subject to any outstanding Order, and no action, suit,
proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand is
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, which challenges the
validity, enforceability, use or ownership of the item.
8
(ii) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has substantially
performed all material obligations imposed upon it under any material license,
material sublicenses, material distribution agreement or other material
agreement relating to any Intellectual Property not owned by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, and is not, nor to the knowledge of the Company, is any
other party thereto, in material breach of any material terms or default of any
material terms thereunder in any respect, nor is there any event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder. All such
Intellectual Property licenses are valid, enforceable and in full force and
effect, and will continue to be so on identical terms immediately following the
Closing except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity relating to enforceability (regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(cc) ERISA. No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
has been incurred with respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its

prohibitions of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA") or in connection with which a tax could be imposed
14
pursuant to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
provided that, if any of the Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a
beneficial interest in any of the Purchasers, is an "employee pension benefit
plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to which the
Company is a "party in interest" (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA),
the requirements of Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are
met. As used in this Section 2.1(cc), the term "Plan" shall mean an "employee
pension benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been
established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by
the Company or any Subsidiary or by any trade or business, whether or not
incorporated, which, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is under
common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.
(dd) Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that
the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser
shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents and the Company shall not be
excused from performance of its obligations to any Purchaser under the
Transaction Documents as a result of nonperformance or breach by any other
Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser
independently of any other purchaser and independently of any information,
materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have
made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other
Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any
liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any
such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges
that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges
that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement
or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience
only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the
Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only
such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual
counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms
and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it
was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges
that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates
a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

(i) Schedule 2.1(ee)(i) attached hereto accurately sets forth a

Company paid to each such supplier during such periods. The relationships of the
Company with its suppliers are good commercial working relationships. The
Company is not in default of nor has the Company breached any agreement with any
such supplier. No such supplier has terminated or threatened to terminate, its
relationship with the Company or has during the last twelve (12) months
materially decreased, limited, or changed the terms and conditions for, the
supply of its goods or services to the Company, or threatened to do so, nor does
the Company know of any written or oral communication, fact, event or action
which exists or has occurred which would indicate that any supplier of the
Company would do so, whether as a result of the transaction contemplated hereby
or otherwise. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(ee)(i), no supplier for the
Company is a sole source of supply of any good or service to the Company.
(ii) Schedule 2.1(ee)(ii) attached hereto accurately sets forth a

customer during such periods. The relationships of the Company with its
customers are good commercial working relationships. No such customer has
terminated or threatened to terminate, its relationship with the Company or has
during the last twelve (12) months materially decreased, limited or otherwise
changed the terms and conditions for, the purchase of goods or services from the
Company, or threatened to do so, nor does the Company know of any written or
oral communication, fact, event or action which exists or has occurred which
would indicate that any customer of the Company would do so, whether as a result
of the transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise.
(ff) Anti-takeover Device. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any outstanding shareholder rights plan or "poison pill" or any
similar arrangement. There are no provisions of any anti-takeover or business
combination statute applicable to the Company, the Articles of Incorporation and
the Bylaws which would preclude the issuance and sale of the Securities, the
reservation for issuance of the Warrant Shares and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents.
(gg) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company
from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under
the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be
integrated with other offerings if such other offering, if integrated, would
cause the offer and sale of the Securities not to be exempt from registration
pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act. The
Company does not have any registration
16
statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission's
review and except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(gg) hereto, since September 1,
2004, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.
(hh) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act(ii). The Company is in compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the "Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective
and for which compliance by the Company is required as of the date hereof and
intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act,
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of
such provisions or the date by which compliance therewith by the Company is
required.

evidencing the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares
of the Company's Series E Convertible Preferred Stock to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of
the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect solely

Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered schedule corresponding to the

standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization.

and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents and to
purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Transaction Documents by such Purchaser and the consummation
by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate, partnership or other action, and no further consent or
authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders,
partners or members, as the case may be, is required. When executed and
delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute
valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser enforceable against such
Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i)
violate any provision of such Purchaser's charter or organizational documents,
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
17
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond,
license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is a
party or by which such Purchaser's respective properties or assets are bound, or
(iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations) applicable to such Purchaser or by which any
property or asset of such Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases,
other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal
and state securities laws) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect such
Purchaser's ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Acquisition for Investment. Such Purchaser is purchasing the
Shares and Warrants and will purchase any Warrant Shares solely for its own
account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with distribution. Such Purchaser does not have a present intention
to sell any of the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, nor a present arrangement
(whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any
of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such
Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with
Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Such Purchaser
acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of Purchaser's investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the
financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has
been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and
to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary
or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.
(e) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act
or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that
such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the
Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"),
and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only
under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that
Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities
without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another
exemption from such registration requirement.
(f) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying
upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such
Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Such Purchaser understands that no
18
United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency
has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
(g) No General Solicitation. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the
Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or
public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated
advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar
media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to
which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of
communications. Such Purchaser, in making the decision to purchase the
Securities, has relied upon independent investigation made by it and the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings set
forth in the Transaction Documents and has not relied on any information or
representations made by third parties.
(h) Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor"
(as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience
in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to
be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such
Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Such Purchaser acknowledges that an investment
in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Such
Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Investor Questionnaire
Certification attached hereto as Exhibit F certifying as to its status as an
"accredited investor" and understands that the Company is relying upon the truth
and accuracy of such information set forth therein to determine the suitability
of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
(i) Certain Fees. The Purchasers have not employed any broker or
finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees,
commissions, finders' structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar
fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.
(j) Independent Investment. No Purchaser has agreed to act with any
other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its
investment in the Securities.
(k) No Shorting. No Purchaser has engaged in any short sales of the
Common Stock or instructed any third parties to engage in any short sales of the
Common Stock on its behalf prior to the Closing Date. Each Purchaser covenants
and agrees that it will not be in a net short position with respect to the
shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 2.2(k), a "net short
position" means a sale of Common Stock by a Purchaser that is marked as a short
sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting long
position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser.

The Company covenants with each Purchaser as follows, which covenants are
for the benefit of each Purchaser and their respective permitted assignees.
Section 3.1 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the
Commission in accordance with its rules and regulations, of the transactions
contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents and shall take all other
necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable
law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to
the Purchasers, or their respective subsequent holders.
Section 3.2 Registration and Listing. The Company shall cause its
Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, to comply in all respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the Exchange Act, to comply with all requirements related to
any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, and to not take any
action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or
the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or
to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange
Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all
action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board or any successor market. Subject to the terms of the
Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the
request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written
certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with
such requirements.
Section 3.3 Required Registration. As promptly as practicable after
the Closing, but in no event later than the earlier of (A) the one hundred
fiftieth (150th) day following the Closing Date or (B) the thirtieth (30th) day

on the appropriate form with the Commission to register the resale of all of the
Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E.
Section 3.4 Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit, during normal
business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser
or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser
shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Shares or shall beneficially own
any Shares or Warrant Shares, for purposes reasonably related to such
Purchaser's interests as a stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of
the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties,
assets, operations and business of the Company and any Subsidiary, and to
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any Subsidiary
with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.
20
Section 3.5 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause
each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders, noncompliance with which would be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 3.6 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall
keep and cause each Subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in
which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its

periodic reports with the Commission, or if the Commission ceases making these
periodic reports available via the Internet without charge, then the Company
shall, promptly after filing with the Commission, furnish the following to each
Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the
Securities or shall beneficially own Shares or Warrant Shares:
(a) Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB;
(b) Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB; and
(c) Copies of all notices, information and proxy statements in
connection with any meetings, that are, in each case, provided to holders of
shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or
information to such holders of Common Stock.
Section 3.8 Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any
agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the
right or ability of the Company or any Subsidiary to perform its obligations
under any Transaction Document.
Section 3.9 Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale of the
Shares will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
Section 3.10 Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially
owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required
to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company
shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the
Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder
would permit such termination.
Section 3.11 Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a
press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby (the "Press Release") as soon as practicable after the date of this
Agreement but in no event later than one day after the date hereof; provided,
however, that if the signing of this Agreement occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern
Time on any Trading Day, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than
9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following the date of this
Agreement. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on
Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K") describing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined
21
in Section 3.19 hereof), the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as
practicable following the date hereof but in no event more than two (2) Trading
Days following the date hereof, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be
subject to prior review and comment by the Purchasers. "Trading Day" means any
day during which the OTC Bulletin Board (or other principal exchange on which
the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.
Section 3.12 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants
and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has
provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any
information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written
agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
Section 3.13 Form D. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect
to the Securities as required by Rule 506 under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to the Purchasers promptly after such filing.
Section 3.14 No Integrated Offerings. The Company shall not make any
offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities being offered or sold
hereunder) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities
being offered or sold hereunder under the Securities Act.
Section 3.15 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide
margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the
Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer,
sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a
pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice
thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee
shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to
effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the
Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such
documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section 3.16 Subsequent Financings; Right of First Refusal; Other
Restrictive Covenants.
(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date and so
long as Sharad Tak or his designees collectively beneficially own at least fifty
percent (50%) of the Shares purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event
later than five (5) trading days after making or receiving an applicable offer)
in writing (a "Rights Notice") the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any
proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to)
any third party (a "Subsequent Financing"), of any Common Stock or securities
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including
convertible preferred and debt securities
22
(collectively, the "Financing Securities"). The Rights Notice shall describe, in
reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date
of the Subsequent Financing, which shall not be sooner than twenty (20) calendar
days from the date the Rights Notice is given nor later than forty five (45)
calendar days from the date the Rights Notice is given, including, without
limitation, all of the material terms and conditions thereof and proposed
definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights
Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the "Rights Option") during the
five (5) trading days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the "Option
Period") to purchase up to its "pro rata" portion, on a basis with all Other
Purchasers (as defined below), of the securities being offered in such
Subsequent Financing on the same terms and conditions as contemplated by such
Subsequent Financing (the "First Refusal Rights"). If any Purchaser or Other
Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other
Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in
the aggregate does not exceed the total Purchase Price hereunder plus the total
purchase price pursuant to the Other Purchase Agreements (as defined below). For
purposes of this Section, all references to "pro rata" means, for any Purchaser
electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by
dividing (x) the total number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the
Closing by (y) the total number of Shares purchased by all of the participating
Purchasers at the Closing plus the total number of shares of Common Stock (or
the number of shares of Common Stock into which any convertible securities are
convertible into) purchased by the participating Other Purchasers pursuant to
the Other Purchase Agreements. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a
representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material
terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those
disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party
participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited
to, additional compensation based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type
of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional
securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the
Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from any of the
Purchasers or Other Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have
the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a
third party (and, if applicable, with such Purchasers and Other Purchasers as
shall have exercised their Rights Option); provided that all of the material
terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the
Purchasers and Other Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the
proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur within forty-five (45) days from
the date the Rights Notice is given, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent
Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the
provisions of this Section, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new
Rights Notice. For purposes hereof, "Other Purchasers" shall mean the other
purchasers of equity securities of the Company that have rights similar to the
rights contained in this Section 3.16(a) pursuant to the purchase agreements
("Other Purchase Agreements") entered into among the Company and the Other
Purchasers.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing (as defined
hereinafter) shall not be considered a Subsequent Financing. A "Permitted
Financing" shall mean (1) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection
with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (2) securities issued pursuant to
a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company's securities, (3)
securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or
23
issued pursuant to this Agreement, (4) the Warrant Shares, (5) securities issued
in connection with bona fide strategic alliances or other partnering
arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising
capital, (6) Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted or
issued pursuant to the Company's stock option plans and employee stock purchase
plans as they now exist (7) any warrants issued to the placement agent for the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for other financial advisory
services rendered to the Company and (8) the issuance of up to $2,000,000 of
shares of Common Stock on terms substantially similar to the terms of this
Agreement to be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing
Date (the "Subsequent Common Stock Financing"); provided, however, if the price
per share of Common Stock issued in the Subsequent Common Stock Financing is
less than the Per Share Purchase Price, the Company shall promptly issue
additional shares of Common Stock to Sharad Tak or his designees in an amount
equal to (A) the number of shares of Common Stock such Purchaser would have
purchased pursuant to this Agreement based upon such Purchaser's portion of the
Purchase Price at the price per share of Common Stock issued in the Subsequent
Common Stock Financing, minus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date and so
long as Sharad Tak or his designees collectively beneficially own at least fifty
percent (50%) of the Shares purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of
Sharad Tak and stockholders owning at least ten percent (10%) of the shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time (including any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding preferred stock of the Company):
(i) effect a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, a
consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into
another entity or any other type of change of control transaction; (ii)
repurchase any of the Company's outstanding shares of capital stock; or (iii)
enter into any contracts relating to the Company's initiatives requiring
outsourcing activities.
Section 3.17 Board Membership; Board Observer Rights. So long as
Sharad Tak directly or through his designees beneficially owns shares of the
Company which equal at least fifty percent (50%) of the Shares purchased by such
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Company (i) shall, at its next annual
or special meeting in which members of the Board of Directors are elected,
nominate and recommend to its stockholders for election Sharad Tak or his
designee to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and at each succeeding
annual or special meeting, as necessary to extend the tenure of such director,
nominate and recommend to its stockholders for election Sharad Tak or his
designee to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and (ii) agrees that in
addition to representation on the Board of Directors, Sharad Tak or his designee
shall have the right to serve as an observer of the Board of Directors. The
Company acknowledges its understanding that Sharad Tak is acting independently
and solely on his own behalf and not in conjunction with any other Purchaser.
The Company shall provide Sharad Tak or his designee with such notice as is
given to the other directors of the Company, but in no case less than
forty-eight (48) hours prior written notice of any meetings of the Company's
Board of Directors. Sharad Tak and/or his designee may elect in such person's
sole discretion to attend such meetings of the Company's Board of Directors.
24
Section 3.18 Reverse Stock Split. The Company shall seek stockholder
approval at its next annual or special meeting of stockholders to approve a
reverse stock split of the Common Stock in a ratio to be determined by the
Company (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split shall be effected
at such time as the Company designates and only in connection with the listing
of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the Nasdaq National Market.
Section 3.19 Lock-Up Agreement. The persons listed on Schedule 3.16
attached hereto shall be subject to the terms and provisions of a lock-up
agreement in substantially the form as Exhibit D hereto (the "Lock-Up

disclose and it will cause its officers, directors, employees, representatives,
agents, and advisers not to disclose, any Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) with respect to the other party furnished, at any time or
in any manner, provided that (i) any disclosure of such information may be made
to which the Company and Purchaser consent in writing; and (ii) such information
may be disclosed if so required by law or regulatory authority. "Confidential
Information" means information or knowledge obtained in any due diligence or
other investigation relating to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement,
information relating to the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and
any information identified as confidential in writing from one party to the
other; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include
information or knowledge that (a) becomes generally available to the public
absent any breach of this Section 3.20, (b) was available on a non-confidential
basis to a party prior to its disclosure pursuant to this Agreement, or (c)
becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a third party who is not
bound to keep such information confidential. In the event of the termination of
this Agreement, each party will promptly return all documents, contracts,
records, or properties to the other party and destroy all copies of such
Confidential Information.

its best efforts to consummate the Subsequent Common Stock Financing within one
hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date in an amount equal to or greater

ARTICLE V
CERTIFICATE LEGEND
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities shall
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following
form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue
sky" laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PRESCIENT APPLIED
INTELLIGENCE, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT
REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Shares
and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time,
prior to making any transfer of any such Shares or Warrant Shares, such holder
thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms
of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such
proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the
Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that the registration of the Shares or Warrant Shares
under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed
transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has
become and remains effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has
received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such
registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities
laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration
or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not
required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid
exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to
comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall
in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is
not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to
the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The
restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to,
and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in
any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the
Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a
legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares or
Warrant
29
Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting
the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system (to the extent not inconsistent with
any provisions of this Agreement).
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers,
affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers and their directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and
assigns as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations,
warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. Each Purchaser severally but
not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors,
officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and
all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements)
incurred by the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents,
successors and assigns as a direct result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The
maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification
obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase
Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to
indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written
notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for
indemnification; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to give
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such
action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect
of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the
indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party
exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the
indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of
one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that
the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not contest
such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of
receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its
election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any
action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it
commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend,
settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless
and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume
the defense of
30
any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses
arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim
or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The
indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or
claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at
all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or
claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such
defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim
or proceeding effected without its prior written consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the
contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's
prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any
judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof,
the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a
release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification
required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount
thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are
received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the
indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled
to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party
against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
ARTICLE VII

EXHIBIT G
FORM OF OPINION
May __, 2005
Those Purchasers Listed
on Exhibit A hereto
Re: Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated May __, 2005 by and among
Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc. and the Purchasers
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have been engaged by Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") in connection with the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement dated May __, 2005 (the "Agreement") by and among the Company and
those purchasers listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Purchasers"). Any
capitalized term used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning given
to such term in the Agreement.
This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 4.2(f) of the
Agreement.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the following
documents:
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company;
(b) Resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors dated April ___,
2005 relating to and approving the Transaction Documents (as
hereinafter defined), certified by the Secretary of the Company
pursuant to a certificate dated April __, 2005;
(c) A certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware regarding the
good standing of the Company;
(d) Certificates of one or more officers of the Company as to certain
factual matters;
(e) The Agreement;
(f) The Lock-Up Agreement;
(g) The Certificate of Designation;
(h) The Registration Rights Agreement; and
(i) The Warrants (the Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants being referred to
herein collectively as the "Transaction Documents").
8
We also have examined such other certificates, agreements, instruments and
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to render the
opinions set forth herein, and we have relied on such certificates of government
officials as we have deemed appropriate. We have relied completely on the
foregoing documents and such other documents as referred to in this letter as to
all matters of fact and conclusions covered therein, and we have not undertaken
any independent verification or investigation of such factual matters.
For the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed the following: (i) the
genuineness of all signatures on the Agreement on behalf of the parties thereto
(except for those of officers of the Company); (ii) the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to as certified, conformed, photostatic,
electronic or facsimile copies; and (iii) that the facts set forth in all
certificates referred to in this opinion are accurate and complete in all
respects. We have further assumed:
(a) that each of the parties (other than the Company) to the
Agreement has the corporate or other power and authority to enter
into and perform its obligations under the Agreement, has all
necessary governmental or other consents and authorizations to
enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder
and to effect the transactions required of each of them thereby,
and has taken all necessary corporate or other action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of their
respective obligations under the Agreement; and
(b) that the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto (other than
the Company) by themselves or their respective duly authorized
representatives acting within the scope of their respective
authorities in accordance with applicable law, and that the
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the respective parties
enforceable against such parties in accordance with their terms.
Based upon the foregoing, and further subject to the assumptions,
qualifications and exceptions set forth below, we hereby advise you that in our
opinion:
1. The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
do business and is in good standing in every state in which the failure to so
qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to
issue the Shares and the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of
each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by
all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. Each of the
9
Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered and each of the
Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.
The Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws.
3. The Shares and the Warrants have been duly authorized by all
corporate action on the part of the Company and, the Shares when delivered
against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized by all corporate action on
the part of the Company and reserved for issuance, and when delivered against
payment in full as provided in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the
terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Shares and the
Warrants do not (a) subject to receipt of approval of the Series F stockholders,
violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b)
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse
of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement,
mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement,
instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party and which is attached
as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10K for the year ending December 31, 2004,
(c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the
Company under any agreement or any commitment known to us to which the Company
is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective
properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any federal or
state statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree known to
us (excluding federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to
the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or
affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (a) and
(d) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.
5. Other than receipt of the approval of the Series F stockholders, no
consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with
any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under federal
or state law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or
issuance of the Shares and the Warrants other than filings as may be required by
applicable federal and state securities laws.
6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or
proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the
validity of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action
taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. To our knowledge, there is no action,
suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or threatened, against or
involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely
determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
10
7. On the assumption that the representations, warranties and
covenants of the Purchasers contained in the Agreement are true and complete,
the issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants under the Transaction
Documents are exempt from the registration requirements of section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
8. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing
will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment
company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The words "our knowledge," as used above, signify the actual knowledge that
any such opinion is not accurate or that any of the documents, certificates,
reports, or information on which we have relied is not accurate and complete. We
have undertaken no independent investigations or verifications and have
performed no independent due diligence other than an examination of the
Transaction Documents. The words "our knowledge" and "our attention" are
intended to be limited to the knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who we
reasonably believe have knowledge of certain of the affairs of the Company
through their representation of the Company: Xxxxxxxx X'Xxxxx, Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxxx X Xxxxx.
The foregoing opinions are rendered only to the Purchasers and are intended
solely for the Purchasers' benefit in connection with the transaction described
above. These opinions may not be quoted or furnished to or relied upon by such
addressee or any other person or entity for any other purpose without our prior
written consent. We are not assuming any professional responsibility to any
other person by rendering these opinions.
The foregoing opinions are given as of the date hereof and no opinion is
expressed as to the effect of any amendment to any of the documents mentioned
herein or any change in fact, circumstance or law. We disclaim any
responsibility to inform the addressee hereof or any other entity of any such
amendment or change that may come to our attention.
The foregoing opinions are subject to (i) the exercise of judicial
discretion in accordance with general principles of equity (whether applied by a
court of law or by a court of equity); (ii) a finding by a court having
jurisdiction that the enforcement of a particular provision or remedy would be
contrary to public policy; (iii) the valid exercise of the constitutional powers
of the United States of America and the sovereign police and taxing powers of
any state or other governmental units having jurisdiction. The opinions given
above are further subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other laws and
decisions relating to or affecting debtor's obligations or creditors' rights,
whether now or hereafter in effect, and (b) general principles of equity
(whether enforcement is sought at law or in equity), including, without
limitation, requirements that parties to agreements act reasonably, in good
faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and give reasonable notice prior
to exercising rights and remedies, all to the extent required by applicable law,
and limitations on the ability of a party to accelerate the due date of any
payments due or to exercise other remedies available to it on the occurrence of
a non-material breach of an agreement. We express no opinion with respect to
federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations other than as expressly
set forth herein. We express no opinion as to any waivers, indemnities or powers
of attorney in the Transaction Documents. The enforceability of certain of the
remedial, waiver and other provisions of the Transaction Documents may be

further subject to the exercise of judicial discretion. We express no opinion on
the enforceability of any provisions in the Transaction Documents relating to
conflicts of law, consent to jurisdiction, choice of forum, choice of law or
waiver of trial by jury. We express no opinion on the effect on the Transaction
Documents or any of the opinions set forth above of any documents which we have
not reviewed. Our opinion is subject to judicial decisions which indicate that
public policy may render unenforceable provisions respecting payment of costs
and expenses of enforcement, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. We
express no opinion on compliance with fiduciary duty requirements. We express no
opinion with respect to the statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions,
rules and regulations, or other laws (collectively, "Local Laws") of counties,
towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or
enabled through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level) and
judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with any such Local Laws. Our
opinions as to enforceability are subject to the effect of generally applicable
rules of law that (i) may, where less than all of a contract may be
unenforceable, limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to
circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an essential part of the
agreed exchange, or that permit a court to reserve to itself a decision as to
whether any provision of any agreement is severable and (ii) limit the
availability of a remedy under certain circumstances when another remedy has
been elected.
We are members of the bar of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and do not
purport to be experts respecting, and do not express any opinions herein
concerning, any laws other than the existing substantive laws of Pennsylvania,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the
United States of America.
Very truly yours,
Montgomery, McCracken, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP
