of the Company outstanding on the Closing Date; (iii) the Company will sell to

(5%) of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock and (B) the

and the percentage of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by
Bull Run on the Acquisition Completion Date (as herein defined); (iv) the
Company and Bull Run will enter into a standstill agreement, and (v) the Company

AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchaser
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
SECTION 1.01 PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE OPEN MARKET. During the
six (6) month period beginning on the Closing Date (or such longer period as
provided in Section 1.02), the Purchaser may purchase on the open market a
number of shares of the Common Stock not to exceed 10.1% of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock (the "Open Market Purchases"). The Company will take
no action to oppose the Open Market Purchases, provided that nothing herein
shall restrict the Company's obligation to provide any disclosures regarding the
Company, its operations and financial condition necessary or appropriate to
comply with applicable securities laws.
SECTION 1.02 TOLLING OF OPEN MARKET PURCHASE PERIOD. The six (6) month
period during which the Purchaser may make the Open Market Purchases as provided
in Section 1.01 shall be suspended and tolled during such times as and for as
long as:
(a) (i) any Purchaser Nominee or any Affiliate or Associate of
Purchaser is a member of the Company's Board of Directors or
is an officer of the Company and (ii) any officers or
directors of the Company are prohibited from trading in the
Common Stock pursuant to any policies or procedures of the
Company;
(b) (i) any Purchaser Nominee or any Affiliate or Associate of
Purchaser is a member of the Company's Board of Directors or
is an officer of the Company and (ii) any officers or
directors of the Company are prohibited from trading in the
Common Stock of the Company at the direction of the Company's
Board of Directors or legal advisors; or
(c) the Purchaser has informed the Company that the Purchaser
believes that it may have knowledge of material non-public
information relating to the Company and the Purchaser has
received neither (i) reasonably satisfactory written
confirmation from the Company that the information in question
is not material non-public information or (ii) written
confirmation from the Company that such information has been
publicly disclosed in a manner and on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser.
Any time that the six (6) month period for the Open Market Purchases provided in
Section 1.01 is suspended and tolled pursuant to this Section 1.02, the Company
shall provide the Purchaser with written notice of the date of the new
Acquisition Completion Date. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company of any
disagreement with the calculation of the new Acquisition Completion Date.
SECTION 1.03 PURCHASE OF FIRST TRANCHE WARRANT. On the Closing Date,
the Company shall sell and issue to the Purchaser a Common Stock Purchase
Warrant, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.03, entitling it to purchase a
number of shares of Common Stock representing ten percent (10%) of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, on a fully-diluted basis as of the
Closing Date for a purchase price based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model. The purchase price for the First Tranche Warrant shall be paid fifty
percent (50%) on the Closing Date and fifty percent (50%), plus interest from
the Closing Date at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, at the earlier of
the date of exercise or the date of expiration of the First Tranche Warrant. In
the event that the First Tranche Warrant is exercised in part, at the date of
each exercise, a percentage of the remaining portion of the purchase price shall
be paid in an amount equal to (A)(i) the percentage of the First Tranche Warrant
being exercised MULTIPLIED BY (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price
PLUS (B) interest from the Closing Date at the rate of seven percent (7%) per
annum.
SECTION 1.04 PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL WARRANT. On the Acquisition
Completion Date or within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Purchaser shall
have the option to purchase an additional warrant (having the same terms as the
First Tranche Warrant) exercisable into a number of Warrant Shares equal to the
lesser of (a) five percent (5.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on
the Acquisition Completion Date, on a fully-diluted basis, or (b) the difference
between (i) ten percent (10.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the
Acquisition Completion Date, on a fully-diluted basis, and (ii) the percentage
of outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by the Purchaser on the Acquisition
Completion Date (which percentage shall not include any shares which may be
acquired or were acquired upon exercise of the First Tranche Warrant). Purchaser
shall provide the Company with written notice in accordance with Section 10.02
of its exercise of the option to purchase the Additional Warrant pursuant to
this Section 1.04, which notice shall be given or mailed no later than the tenth
(10th) Business Day after the Acquisition Completion Date. The purchase price
for the Additional Warrant shall be based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
Model.
