judgment, decree, order or writ. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a
party, and the issuance and sale of the Note by the Company and the other
Securities by the Company each pursuant hereto, will not, with or without the
passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or

Agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company,
financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the

violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information
agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to

business to be conducted by the Company; and to the Company's knowledge the
continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the
performance of the Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will
not result in any such violation. The Company is not aware that any of its
employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with
their duties to the Company. The Company has not received any notice alleging

is not in violation in any material respect of any applicable statute, rule,

prospects of the Company. No governmental orders, permissions, consents,
approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or
declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of any of the Securities, except

filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed in a timely
manner. The Company has all material franchises, permits, licenses and any
similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being

herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. Any financial
projections and other estimates provided to the Purchaser by the Company were
based on the Company's experience in the industry and on assumptions of fact and
opinion as to future events which the Company, at the date of the issuance of
such projections or estimates, believed to be reasonable.
4.20 Insurance. The Company has general commercial, product liability,
fire and casualty insurance policies with coverages which the Company believes
are customary for companies similarly situated to the Company in the same or
similar business.
4.21 SEC Reports. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.21, the Company has
filed all proxy statements, reports and other documents required to be filed by
it under the Exchange Act. The Company has furnished the Purchaser with copies

-10-
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003; and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003, and the Form 8-K filings
which it has made during 2003 to date (collectively, the "SEC Reports"). Except
as set forth on Schedule 4.21, each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing,
in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none
of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto)
included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4.22 Listing. The Company's Common Stock is listed for trading on the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SC") and satisfies all requirements for the
continuation of such listing (other than that the current "bid" price for its
Common Stock is below the $1.00 minimum bid threshold on the date hereof). The
Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from
NASDAQ SC or that its Common Stock does not meet all requirements for listing.
4.23 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 Rule 506 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.
4.24 Stop Transfer. The Securities are restricted securities as of the
date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or
other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Securities at such time

registration is available, except as required by state and federal securities
laws.
4.25 Dilution. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation
to issue the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note and exercise of
the Warrant is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the
dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders
of the Company.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants to the Company as follows (such representations and
warranties do not lessen or obviate the representations and warranties of the
Company set forth in this Agreement)
5.1 No Shorting. The Purchaser or any of its affiliates and investment
partners has not, will not and will not cause any person or entity, directly or
indirectly, to engage in "short sales" of the Company's Common Stock or any
other hedging strategies as long as the Note shall be outstanding.
-11-

authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this

(b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the

are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained

in the Agreement, including, without limitation, that the Purchaser is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Purchaser confirms that it

necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to
the Note and the Warrant to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the Note

it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the Company's business, management and financial affairs and the terms
and conditions of the Offering, the Note, the Warrant and the Securities and to
obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense)
necessary to verify any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the
Purchaser had access.
5.4 Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser has substantial experience in
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment until
the Securities are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act; or (ii) an exemption from registration is available
with respect to such sale.

reason of its, or of its management's, business and financial experience,
Purchaser has the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in

own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, and the Related Agreements. Further, Purchaser is aware of no
publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions
contemplated in the Agreement or the Related Agreements.

investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

6. Covenants of the Company. At all times that any principal and accrued
interest and/or fees are outstanding under the Note, the Company covenants and

stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any
securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the
Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.
6.2 Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and upon the exercise of
the Warrant on the NASDAQ SC (the "Principal Market") upon which shares of
Common Stock are listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall
maintain such listing so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed. The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the listing of its
Common Stock on the Principal Market, and will use its best efforts to comply in
all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers
("NASD") and such exchanges, as applicable.
6.3 Market Regulations. The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD and
applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, 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 Purchaser
and promptly provide copies thereof to Purchaser.
6.4 Reporting Requirements. The Company will use its best efforts to file
timely with the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act. The Company will refrain from terminating its status as an issuer required
by the Exchange Act to file reports thereunder even if the Exchange Act or the

6.5 Use of Funds. The Company agrees that it will use the proceeds of the
sale of the Note and Warrant for working capital purposes only, including for
the operations of its subsidiaries.
6.6 Access to Facilities. The Company will permit any representatives

accompanied by a representative of the Company, to:
(a) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company;
-14-
(b) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company
(unless such examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law
or by contract) and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom; and
(c) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with
the directors, officers and independent accountants of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not provide any material,
non-public information to the Purchaser unless the Purchaser signs a
confidentiality agreement and otherwise complies with Regulation FD, under the
federal securities laws.
6.7 Taxes. The Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be
paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefor.
6.8 Insurance. The Company will keep its assets which are of an insurable
character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or
damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by
companies in similar business similarly situated as the Company; and the Company
will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against
other hazards and risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and
in the manner which the Company reasonably believes is customary for companies
in similar business similarly situated as the Company and to the extent
available on commercially reasonable terms. The Company and each of its
subsidiaries set forth in Section 4.2 hereof (the "Subsidiaries") will jointly
and severally bear the full risk of loss from any loss of any nature whatsoever
with respect to the assets pledged to the Purchaser as security for its
obligations hereunder and under the Related Agreements. At the Company's own
cost and expense in amounts and with carriers reasonably acceptable to
Purchaser, the Company and each of the Subsidiaries shall (i) keep all its
insurable properties and properties in which it has an interest insured against
the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended
coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary
in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to the Company's or the
respective Subsidiary's including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain
a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in
businesses similar to the Company's or the Subsidiary's insuring against
larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured's officers
and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have
access to the assets or funds of the Company either directly or through
governmental authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the
disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability
insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered
by others; (iv) maintain all such worker's compensation or similar insurance as
may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which the Company
or the Subsidiary is engaged in business; and (v) furnish Purchaser with (x)
copies of all policies and evidence of the
-15-
maintenance of such policies at least thirty (30) days before any expiration
date, (y) excepting the Company's workers' compensation policy, endorsements to
such policies naming Purchaser as "co-insured" or "additional insured" and
appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to
Purchaser, naming Purchaser as loss payee, subject to the rights of creditors of
the Company who hold perfected security interests prior in right of payment to
Purchaser's, and (z) evidence that as to Purchaser the insurance coverage shall
not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Company or any
Subsidiary and the insurer will provide Purchaser with at least thirty (30) days
notice prior to cancellation. The Company and each Subsidiary shall instruct the
insurance carriers that, in the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers shall
make payment for such loss to the Company and/or the Subsidiary, and the
Purchaser and other parties with prior rights in the Companies' assets as their
rights shall appear. In the event that as of the date of receipt of each loss
recovery upon any such insurance, the Purchaser has not declared an event of
default with respect to this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, then
the Company shall be permitted to direct the application of such loss recovery
proceeds toward investment in property, plant and equipment that would comprise
"Collateral" secured by Purchaser's security interest pursuant to its security
agreement, with any surplus funds to be applied toward payment of the
obligations of the Company to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser has
properly declared an Event of Default with respect to this Agreement or any of
the Related Agreements, then all loss recoveries received by Purchaser upon any
such insurance thereafter may be applied to the obligations of the Company
hereunder and under the Related Agreements, in such order as the Purchaser may
determine, subject to the prior rights of other parties in the Company's assets.
Any surplus (following satisfaction of all Company obligations to Purchaser)
shall be paid by Purchaser to the Company or applied as may be otherwise
required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by the Company or the
Subsidiary, as applicable, to Purchaser, on demand,
6.9 Intellectual Property. The Company shall maintain in full force and
effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all licenses and other
rights to use Intellectual Property owned or possessed by it and reasonably
deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business.

working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to
time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each
provision of all leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies
property if the breach of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect.
6.11 Confidentiality. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and
will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Purchaser, unless
expressly agreed to by the Purchaser or unless and until such disclosure is
required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement. The Company may disclose Purchaser's identity and the terms of this
Agreement to its current and prospective debt and equity financing sources.
6.12 Required Approvals. For so long as fifty percent (50%) of the
principal amount of the Note is outstanding, the Company, without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, shall not:

dividends with respect to its preferred stock;
(b) liquidate, dissolve or effect a material reorganization;

Company;
(e) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness

assets) whether secured or unsecured other than (i) the Company's
indebtedness to either __________ or Systran Financial Services
Corporation and as set forth on Exhibit 6.12(e) attached hereto and made a
part hereof, or any refinancings or replacements thereof or any debt
incurred in connection with the purchase of assets or in connection with
operating lines of credit as necessary to operate such assets, or any
refinancings or replacements thereof, provided however, that the Company's
secured indebtedness incurred or existing (other than to __________)
pursuant to this Section 6.12(e)(i) shall not exceed an aggregate of seven
million dollars ($7,000,000); (ii) cancel any debt owing to it in excess
of $100,000 in the aggregate during any 12 month period; (iii) assume,
guarantee, endorse or otherwise become directly or contingently liable in
connection with any obligations of any other Person (other than the
Company's subsidiaries), except the endorsement of negotiable instruments
by a Company for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the
ordinary course of business or guarantees provided to any of the lenders
set forth in subparagraph (i) immediately above.
6.13 Reissuance of Securities. The Company agrees to reissue certificates
representing the Securities without the legends set forth in Section 5.7 above
at such time as:
(a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Securities
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act; or
(b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after
such Securities are registered under the Securities Act.
The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with all
resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions
necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its counsel receive
reasonably requested representations from the selling Purchaser and broker, if
any.
6.14 Opinion. On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the
Purchaser an opinion reasonable acceptable to the Purchaser from the Company's
legal counsel. The Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other
legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the conversion of
the Note and exercise of the Warrant.
-17-
7. Covenants of the Purchaser. The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the
Company as follows:
7.1 Confidentiality. The Purchaser agrees that it will not disclose, and
will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Company, unless
expressly agreed to by the Company or unless and until such disclosure is
required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
7.2 Non-Public Information. The Purchaser agrees not to effect any sales
in the shares of the Company's Common Stock while in possession of material,
non-public information regarding the Company if such sales would violate
applicable securities law.
8. Covenants of the Company and Purchaser Regarding Indemnification.
8.1 Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend Purchaser, each of Purchaser's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders,
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon: (i) any
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.
8.2 Purchaser's Indemnification. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at
all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed
upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based upon: (i) any
misrepresentation by Purchaser or breach of any warranty by Purchaser in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Purchaser of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Purchaser hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.
8.3 Procedures. (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this
Section 8 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such
indemnified party under this Section 8 if and to the extent the indemnifying
party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so
to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8. for any
-18-
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof; if the indemnified party retains its own counsel, then
the indemnified party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(b) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event
of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) the
Purchaser, or any controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and
the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact
that this Section 8 provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii)
contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the
Purchaser or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section 8; then, and in each such case,
the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from
others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 10 of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Reports or in the Exchange Act Filings, or stock or stock options granted to
employees or directors or consultants of the Company; or shares of preferred
stock issued to pay dividends in respect of the Company's preferred stock; or
equity or debt issued in connection with an acquisition of a business or assets
by the Company; or the issuance by the Company of stock in connection with the
establishment of a joint venture, partnership, licensing arrangement or other
strategic relationship (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the
"Excepted Issuances"), the Company will not issue any securities with a
continuously variable/floating conversion feature which are or could be (by
conversion or registration) free-trading securities (i.e. common stock subject
to a registration statement) prior to the full repayment or conversion of the
Note (the "Exclusion Period").
