fulfilled or on account of the breach by the Company of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) if the representations and warranties of any of
the Purchasers contained in Section 6 shall not be true and correct, then the
Company shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under
this Agreement, without thereby waiving any other rights the Company may have by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that if the First Closing has already
occurred, then only the obligation to proceed with the Second Closing may be
relieved, and all other obligations of the parties hereunder shall remain in
effect with respect to the Shares issued to the Purchasers at the First Closing.

to the Shares issued to the Purchasers at the First Closing.

would affect the transferability of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Stock. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, as of the date hereof, the
Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or commitment pursuant to

payroll, franchise and other tax returns required to be filed (after giving
effect to extensions) and have paid all taxes shown as due thereon, all such tax
returns are true, complete and accurate in all material respects, and there is
no tax deficiency that has been, or to the knowledge of the Company is likely to
be, asserted against the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their
properties or assets that would result in a Material Adverse Effect, except for
taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which the Company has established adequate reserves in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
5.8 Indebtedness of the Company. Schedule 5.8 correctly

Company or one of its Subsidiaries has commitments, which is individually in
excess of $5,000,000 ("Significant Indebtedness") (excluding operating leases),
as of the date set forth on Schedule 5.8. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any Indebtedness or any instrument or
agreement relating thereto, nor has any event occurred (i) that with the giving
of notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder, or
(ii) that has given or that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or
both would give rise to a right of termination, amendment, cancellation or
acceleration of any right or obligation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries thereunder, or to a loss of any material benefit to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled thereunder, except for any
default, termination, amendment, cancellation, acceleration or loss of material
benefit related to Indebtedness other than Significant Indebtedness as would
not, either in any case or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
9

Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property (other than
property which is leased) material to the conduct of the business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and good and marketable title to all

of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each
case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are
described on Schedule 5.9 or such as do not in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect; and any real property and buildings held under lease by the
Company and the Subsidiaries, material to the conduct of the business of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are described on
Schedule 5.9 and except for such other exceptions as do not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
5.10 Litigation, etc. There is no action, proceeding or
investigation pending or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened (or any
basis therefor known to the Company) which questions the validity of this
Agreement, the Shares or any action taken or to be taken pursuant to this
Agreement, the Shares or the Registration Rights Agreement. Other than as set
forth on Schedule 5.10 and as disclosed in Commission Documents, there are no
legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or the
Subsidiaries is the subject, which if determined adversely to the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect; and, to the Company's knowledge, no such proceedings which would
in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect are threatened or contemplated
by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of its

document, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of
any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or any term of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any

of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority, the consequences of which
violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as set forth on Schedule 5.11, the compliance by the Company with all of the
provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, the issuance by the Company of the Common Stock
upon the conversion of the Shares, and the compliance with the terms of the
Certificate of Designation will not conflict with or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an
event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would
constitute a default) under, or give rise to a right of termination, amendment,
cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries under, or give rise to a loss of any material benefit to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under, or require any
consent, approval or authorization under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or
any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a Repayment Event
thereunder, nor will such actions result in any violation of the provisions of
the certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of
the Subsidiaries or any
10
statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or
body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of
their properties except in each case as would not, individually or in the

or performance of the Registration Rights Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby.

Person acting on its behalf has offered the Stock or any similar securities of
the Company to, or solicited any offers to buy any thereof from, or otherwise

such representative shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, that
such representative shall have signed a confidentiality agreement in a

Stock issued upon the conversion of Shares of Stock held by a Person other than

shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
any such shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and may not be transferred in
the absence of such registration or an exemption
19
therefrom under such Act. Such shares and any such
shares of Common Stock may be transferred only in
compliance with the conditions specified in the

any transfer of any Restricted Securities which are not registered under an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the holder thereof
will give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention to effect
such transfer and to comply in all other respects with this Section 8.4. Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer
and shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for such holder, which counsel
and opinion shall each be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the
proposed transfer may be effected without registration of such shares of
Restricted Securities under the Securities Act. Such holder shall thereupon be
entitled to transfer such shares in accordance with the terms of the notice
delivered by such holder to the Company. Each certificate representing such
shares issued upon or in connection with such transfer shall bear the
restrictive legends required by Section 8.3, unless the related restrictions on
transfer shall have ceased and terminated as to such shares pursuant to Section

14. Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, partners, officers,
employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against
any and all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements and
expenses (including interest and penalties recovered by a third party
with respect thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
reasonable accountants' fees and expenses incurred in the investigation
or defense of any of the same or in asserting, preserving or enforcing
any of rights hereunder), that arise out of any breach by the Company
of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in
this Agreement or in the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers shall give the Company prompt
notice of any third-party claim that may give rise to any
indemnification obligation under this Section 14 and the Company shall
(except as set forth below) have the right to assume and control the
26
defense (at its expense) and settlement of any such claim through the
Company's own counsel or through other counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Purchasers. The Purchasers may retain additional counsel at their
own expense. If, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a
conflict with respect to any significant issue between the Purchasers
and the Company exists in respect of such third-party claim, the
Company shall not assume the defense of such claim and shall also pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by Purchasers
in respect of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the
Purchasers' consent, the Company will not settle any action or
proceeding which does not provide the Purchasers a full, unconditional
release from all liability with respect to such claim by each claimant
or plaintiff in a form acceptable to the Purchasers' counsel, nor will
the Company consent to any injunctive or other non-monetary relief
affecting any Indemnified Person.
15. Control by Investcorp, DB Capital Investors, L.P. and X.X. Xxxxxx
Capital Corporation. NR2 Holdings Limited covenants and agrees that Investcorp
or an Affiliate of Investcorp will control, directly or indirectly, a majority
of the voting and dispositive power (i) with respect to the Shares purchased by
NR2 Holdings Limited hereunder so long as any such Shares remain outstanding,
and (ii) with respect to the shares of Common Stock into which any of such
Shares have been converted which continue to be held by such Purchaser and its
Affiliates. DB Capital Investors, L.P. covenants and agrees that DB Capital
Investors, L.P. or an Affiliate of DB Capital Investors, L.P. will control,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Shares purchased by DB Capital Investors, L.P. hereunder so long
as any such Shares remain outstanding. X.X. Xxxxxx Capital Corporation covenants
and agrees that X.X. Xxxxxx Capital Corporation or an Affiliate of X.X. Xxxxxx
Capital Corporation will control, directly or indirectly, a majority of the
voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares purchased by X.X. Xxxxxx
Capital Corporation and Sixty Wall Street Fund, L.P. hereunder so long as any
such Shares remain outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of
this Section 15 shall not be violated by or as a result of the sale of
substantially all of the assets and business of Investcorp, DB Capital
Investors, L.P. or X.X.
Xxxxxx Capital Corporation, whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise.
16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated or, in the case of
termination by a Purchaser, the rights and obligations of such Purchaser under
this Agreement may be terminated, (a) by the mutual written consent of all of
the Purchasers and the Company at any time, (b) by any Purchaser or the Company
if the First Closing shall not have been consummated on or before August 14,
2000, (c) by any Purchaser or the Company if the Second Closing shall not have
been consummated on or before November 30, 2000, (d) by any Purchaser or the
Company if the stockholder meeting occurs and the stockholders do not vote to
approve the transactions contemplated hereby, (e) by any Purchaser on the one
hand or the Company on the other hand if any representation or warranty of the
other party contained herein proves not to have been true and correct in any
material respect when made, or (f) by any Purchaser on the one hand or the
Company on the other hand if the other party materially breaches any covenant
hereunder; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section 16 shall not be available to any
party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
results in the failure to consummate the transactions by such time.
27
17. Public Announcements. The initial press release or releases
concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in the form agreed to
by the Company and the Purchasers. Prior to the First Closing, neither party
will issue any other press release or make any other public announcement
concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the
prior consent of the other, except that either party may make such public
disclosure as may be required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction (in
which event such party will notify the other party as long in advance as
practicable prior to making such disclosure and will, unless not practicable
under the circumstances, give the other party the opportunity to comment on the
language of the disclosure prior to making such disclosure) or by any national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.
18. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided
that none of the Purchasers may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of
its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the Company, except to another Purchaser or an Affiliate of
any of the Purchasers or of Investcorp. This Agreement embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Company and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof including without limitation the Commitment Letter, except (i) the

accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Delaware without regard
to the principles regarding conflicts of laws. The headings in this Agreement
are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument.
