2. BUYERS' REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Each Buyer severally (and not jointly) represents and warrants to the
Company solely as to such Buyer that:
a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer
is purchasing the Preferred Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (the "CONVERSION SHARES") and, collectively with the
Preferred Shares, the "SECURITIES") for its own account for investment only and
not with a view
2
3
towards the public sale or distribution thereof. Pursuant to Section 2(a) of
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a
registration statement for the resale of the Conversion Shares, and further
acknowledges the Buyer may sell the Conversion Shares in accordance therewith.
b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an
"accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that
the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and
state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and the Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
the Buyer to acquire the Securities.
d. Information. The Buyer and its advisors, if any,
have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities which have been requested by the Buyer or its advisors. The Buyer
and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
of the Company and have received what the Buyer believes to be satisfactory
answers to any such inquiries. Neither such inquiries nor any other due
diligence investigation conducted by Buyer or any of its advisors or
representatives shall modify, amend or affect Buyer's right to rely on the
Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The
Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant
degree of risk and that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile
and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common
Stock. The Buyer has the knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Securities and has the ability to bear the economic risks of an investment
in the Securities.
e. Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no
United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the
Securities.
f. Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that (i)
the Securities have not been and, except as provided in the Registration Rights
Agreement, are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state
securities laws, and may not be transferred unless (a) subsequently included in
an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or (b) the Buyer shall
have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the effect that the Securities to be
sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration or (c) sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933
Act (or a successor rule); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on
3
4
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and
further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 0000 Xxx)
may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the
rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor
any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the
1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Buyer
may pledge the Securities as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin
account or other lending arrangement in the ordinary course of Buyer's business
provided that such Buyer concludes that such pledge is exempt from the
registration requirements under the 1933 Act.
g. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Preferred
Shares and until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under
the 1933 Act, as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following
form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the
certificates for such Securities):
"The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold,
transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration
statement for the securities under said Act, or an opinion of counsel,
in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company,
that registration is not required under said Act."
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall
issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon
which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state
securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective
registration statement filed under the 1933 Act, or (b) such holder provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such
Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such Security
is so sold or transferred or (c) such holder provides the Company with
reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) without any restriction as to
the number of Securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold. The Buyer agrees (and each person to whom the Buyer
transfers Securities in a private transaction shall agree as a condition to the
consummation of such transaction) to sell all Securities, including those
represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in
compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, with full power and authority

carry on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated and
conducted. SCHEDULE 3(A) sets forth a list of all of the Subsidiaries of the
Company and the jurisdiction in which each is incorporated. The Company and
each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary except where
the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any material adverse effect on
the operations, assets, financial condition or prospects of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated
hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection
herewith. "SUBSIDIARIES" means any corporation or other organization, whether
incorporated or unincorporated, in which the Company owns, directly or
indirectly, any equity or other ownership interest and in which such ownership
interest entitles the Company to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or
similar governing body.

of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
(including without limitation the filing of the Certificate of Designation, the
issuance of the Preferred Shares and the issuance and reservation for issuance
of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) have
been duly
5
6
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or
authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is
required, (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and, prior
to the Closing, the Certificate of Designation will have been duly filed by the
Company, and (iv) each of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation
constitutes, and upon execution and delivery by the Company of the Registration
Rights Agreement, such instrument will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms.
c. Capitalization. As of the date hereof, the
authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 25,000,000 shares of
Common Stock of which, as of July 29, 1997, 10,900,313 shares are issued and
outstanding, 2,971,429 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Company's stock option plans, 456,419 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant

2,610,000 shares are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company's covenant set forth in
Section 4(h) below); and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no shares of
which are issued and outstanding. All of such outstanding shares of capital
stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject
to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the stockholders of the
Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to
act of the Company. Except as disclosed in SCHEDULE 3(C), as of the effective
date of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip,
rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements,
understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or
exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) there are no agreements or
arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to
register the sale of any of its or their securities under the 1933 Act (except
the Registration Rights Agreement) and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or
price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or
in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered
by the issuance of the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares. The Company has
furnished to the Buyer true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof ("CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION"),
the Company's By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the "BY-LAWS"), and the
terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the

(including the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation) will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens
and charges with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to
preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. The
term Conversion Shares includes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, including without limitation, such
additional shares, if any, as are issuable as a result of the events described
in Section 2(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company understands
and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock of the
issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. The
Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement and
the Certificate of Designation is absolute and unconditional regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
stockholders of the Company.
e. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the filing of the
Certificate of Designation and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the
Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) violate or
conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or result in a
violation of any law, 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 for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, 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 in violation of its
Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has
occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible
defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are
not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a Buyer owns any of
the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity.

1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws and the rules of the Nasdaq

3(I) hereof, to the best of the Company's knowledge, as presently contemplated
to be operated in the future); to the best of the Company's knowledge, the

demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters,
orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved
thereunder.
(ii) Other than those that are or were stored,
used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials
are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were
released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal
course of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' business.
(iii) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(r), there
are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or
used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not in compliance with
applicable law.
s. Title to Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries
own no real property and have good and marketable title to all personal
property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(s) or such as would not have
a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease
by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
t. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to
be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any
reason to believe that it will not be able to
12
13
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
u. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each
of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient, in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's
general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
4. COVENANTS.
a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best
efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7
of this Agreement.
b. Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a
Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to
provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company
shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the
Buyers at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable
securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain
an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such
action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
c. Reporting Status; Eligibility to Use Form S-3. The
Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act. So
long as any Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall
timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934
Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to
file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination. The Company currently
meets, and will take all necessary action to continue to meet, the "registrant
eligibility" requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3.
d. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds
from the sale of the Preferred Shares for working capital. Pending such uses,
the Company will invest the proceeds in short-term and investment grade
obligations.
e. Additional Equity Capital; Right of First Refusal.
Subject to the exceptions described below, the Company agrees that during the
period beginning on the date hereof and ending one hundred eighty (180) days
following the Closing Date
13
14
(the "LOCK-UP PERIOD"), the Company will not, without the prior written consent
of a majority-in-interest of the Buyers, negotiate or contract with any party
to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity
component). In addition, subject to the exceptions described below, the
Company will not conduct any equity financing (including debt with an equity
component) ("FUTURE OFFERINGS") during the period beginning on the last day of
the Lock-Up Period and ending one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter unless
it shall have first delivered to each Buyer, at least fifteen (15) business
days prior to the closing of such Future Offering, written notice describing
the proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof, and
providing each Buyer an option during the ten (10) day period following
delivery of such notice to purchase its pro rata share (based on the ratio that
the number of Preferred Shares purchased by it hereunder bears to the aggregate
number of Preferred Shares purchased hereunder) of the securities being offered
in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future
Offering (the limitations referred to in this and the immediately preceding
sentence are collectively referred to as the "CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS").
The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any transaction involving
(i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment underwritten public offering
(excluding a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or
(ii) issuances of securities in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale
of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture
(the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection
with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or license by the
Company. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to the issuance
of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options, warrants or
other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant
of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities,
under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan existing on the date
hereof or, if established hereafter, approved by a majority of the Company's
disinterested directors or the issuance of Common Stock at the market price
prevailing on the date of issuance to employees and directors wishing to
purchase additional shares on terms approved by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board of Directors.
f. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Xxxx Xxxx
Capital Management, L.P. ("RGC") for all expenses incurred by it in connection
with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith,
including, without limitation, attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses.
The Company's obligation to reimburse RGC's expenses under this Section 4(f)
shall be limited to Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000).
g. Financial Information. The Company agrees to send
the following reports to each Buyer holding Preferred Shares: (i) within ten
(10) days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form
10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K;
(ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press releases issued by
the Company or any of its
14
15
Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available or giving
to the stockholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information
the Company makes available or gives to such stockholders.
h. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all
times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion of the
outstanding Preferred Shares and issuance of the Conversion Shares in
connection therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares in
effect from time to time). The Company shall not reduce the number of shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
without the consent of each Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company shall use its best efforts at all times to maintain the
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at no less than two
(2) times the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the
Preferred Shares (based on the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares in
effect from time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of Conversion Shares
issued and issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Preferred Shares, the
Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and
reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a
special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional shares, in the case of
an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to
obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares.
i. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the
listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or
automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then
listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as
any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all
Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion or exercise of the
Preferred Shares. The Company will obtain and maintain the listing and trading
of its Common Stock on Nasdaq, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SMALLCAP"),
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX")
and will comply in all 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. The Company shall promptly
provide to each Buyer copies of any notices it receives from Nasdaq regarding
the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on Nasdaq.
j. Solvency. The Company (both before and after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent and
currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably
conclude that the Company would not have, nor does it intend to take any action
that would impair, its ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in
connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a
qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most
15
16
recent fiscal year end and does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which
its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal
year.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent
to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Buyer or its nominee, for
the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each
Buyer to the Company upon proper conversion or exercise of the Preferred Shares
(the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS"). Prior to registration of the
Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that, assuming the Buyers are not "affiliates" of the Company under
applicable federal securities law, no instruction other than the Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer
instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the
Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the
1933 Act), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of
the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way
the Buyer's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to
comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon
resale of the Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form, substance and scope,
that registration of a resale by such Buyer of any of the Securities is not
required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the
case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue
one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by
such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers, by vitiating the intent
and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyers shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL.
The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the
Preferred Shares to a Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at
or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions thereto,
provided that these conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and may be
waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion:
16

respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this
Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the applicable Buyer
at or prior to the Closing Date.
e. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive
order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of
competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority
over the matters contemplated hereby which prohibits the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7. CONDITIONS TO EACH BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.
The obligation of each Buyer hereunder to purchase the Preferred
Shares at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing
Date of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are

its sole discretion:
a. The Company shall have executed this Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement, and delivered the same to the Buyer.
b. The Certificate of Designation shall have been
accepted for filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and a copy thereof

agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied

executive officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the
foregoing effect and as to such other matters as may be reasonably requested by
such Buyer including, but not limited to certificates with respect to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and Board of Directors'
resolutions relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.
f. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive
order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered,
promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of
competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority
over the matters contemplated hereby which prohibits the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
g. The Conversion Shares shall have been authorized for
quotation on Nasdaq and trading in the Common Stock on Nasdaq shall not have
been suspended by the SEC or Nasdaq.
h. The Buyer shall have received an opinion of the

Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares, it will not, directly or indirectly
(unless in any such cases specifically invited in writing to do so by the Board
of Directors of the Company), do any of the following:
(i) except as acquired pursuant to or otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation or as a
result of any stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization by the
Company, acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire by purchase or
otherwise, individually or by joining a partnership, limited partnership,
syndicate or other "group" (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the

act, to
18
19
"acquire"), any securities of the Company entitled to vote, or securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such securities
(collectively, "VOTING SECURITIES") if, after such acquisition, the Buyer would
beneficially own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the
Company's Voting Securities then outstanding;
(ii) form, join, participate in or encourage the
formation of a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group for
the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of Voting Securities;

Exchange Act) with respect to the Company, or initiate, propose or otherwise
solicit stockholders of the Company for the approval of one or more stockholder
