Market Value of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock that equals $2,000,000 (the

transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Company, the purchase price of the Final Investment.
1.5 Limitation on Investment.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, ACS shall
have no obligation to make any purchase (including the Interim Investment and
Final Investment) if such purchase would cause it to own 20% or more of either
(i) the then-outstanding share capital of the Company or (ii) the
then-outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully-diluted as-converted
basis, in which case it shall only be required to purchase the maximum number of
shares of the Company in either the Interim Investment or Final Investment that
it could purchase without its ownership equaling or exceeding 20%.
(b) The Company shall have no obligation to sell any shares of capital
stock to the extent such sale violates any applicable law, rule or regulation,
including but not limited to the listing requirements or other regulation of any
national securities exchange. In the event that the Company exercises its right
not to sell additional shares to ACS because such sale would violate an
applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company will discuss this decision with
ACS and, upon ACS's request, the parties agree to discuss and negotiate other
possible arrangements in an effort to achieve the parties' intention of
providing funding for the transactions contemplated by the Collaboration
Agreement.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
ACS makes no other representations and warranties, express or implied, to
the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except for
the following:
2.1 Investment Purpose. ACS is purchasing the Preferred Stock for ACS's own
account for investment only and not with a view toward or in connection with the
public sale or distribution thereof. ACS shall not, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its Securities, or any interest
therein, except pursuant to transactions that are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities
Act. ACS understands that ACS must bear the economic risk of this investment
indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities
Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of
registering any such Securities other than as contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement.
2.2 Accredited Investor Status. ACS is an "accredited investor" as that
term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D.
2.3 Reliance on Exemptions. ACS understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold to ACS 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 ACS's compliance
with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of ACS set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
such exemptions and the eligibility of ACS to acquire the Securities.
2.4 Information. The Company, or its counsel, have made available all
reasonable 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 specifically requested by ACS, including, without limitation, the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and
all other reports, registration statements, and other filings (including
amendments to previously filed documents) filed by the Company with the SEC from
December 31, 2002 to the date of this Agreement (all such reports, proxy
statements, registration statements, and filings are collectively called the
"SEC Reports" and each is individually called a "SEC Report"). ACS has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and was permitted to
meet with the Company's officers and has received what ACS believes to be
satisfactory answers to any such questions. Neither such inquiries nor any other
due diligence investigation conducted by ACS, or any of its representations,
shall modify, amend or affect ACS's right to rely on the Company's
representations and warranties contained in Article III hereof. ACS understands
that ACS's investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk,
including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the SEC
Reports.
2.5 Governmental Review. ACS 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.
2.6 Transfer or Resale. ACS understands that (a) except as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been and are not being
registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not
be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred, unless subsequently
registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration is available (which
exemption the Company expressly agrees may be established as contemplated in
clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof); (b) any sale of such Securities made
in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule
144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if
Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Securities without registration
under the Securities Act under circumstances in which the seller may be deemed
to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder in order for such resale to be allowed, (c)
the Company is under no obligation to register such Securities under the
Securities 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
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) and (d) the Company has
agreed to register the Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of
Preferred Stock as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.
2.7 Legends. ACS understands that, subject to Article V hereof, until such
time as the Common Stock underlying the conversion of Preferred Stock has been
registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement, or otherwise may be sold by ACS pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to and
in accordance with the procedures specified in Article V hereof), the
certificates for the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend (the "Legend")
in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY
NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.
2.8 Authorization: Enforcement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on
behalf of ACS, and are valid and binding agreements of ACS enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms, except (i) to the extent that such
validity or enforceability may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights or remedies of
creditors generally, or by other equitable principles of general application and
(ii) as rights to indemnity and contribution under the Registration Rights
Agreement may be limited by federal or state securities laws.

under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Collaboration
Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and ACS or (b) the
business, operations, properties, financial condition or operating results of
the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis or on

not include any change, circumstance or effect resulting from (A) general
changes in the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, as

affect the Company and its subsidiaries to a materially greater extent than they
affect other entities operating in such industries, or (B) changes in general
economic conditions or changes in securities markets in general.

delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Collaboration Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the
issuance of the Preferred Stock) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its
board of directors, or its stockholders or any other person, body or agency is
required with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;
(c) this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Collaboration
Agreement and the certificates for the Preferred Stock have been (or in the case
of the certificates for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred
Stock, shall be at the time of delivery) duly executed and delivered by the
Company; and (d) this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the
Collaboration Agreement and the Preferred Stock constitute (or in the case of
the certificates for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred
Stock, shall constitute at the time of delivery) legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
their respective terms, except (i) to the extent that such validity or
enforceability may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights or remedies of
creditors generally, or by other equitable principles of general application,
and (ii) as rights to indemnity and contribution under the Registration Rights
Agreement may be limited by Federal or state securities laws.

including the authorized capital stock, the number of shares issued and
outstanding, the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the
Company's stock option plans, the number of shares reserved for issuance

Company (including the Preferred Stock) are subject to preemptive rights or any
other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any liens or
encumbrances imposed or suffered by the Company. Except as disclosed in Schedule
3.3 hereof, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding
options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings 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

The Company has furnished to ACS true and correct copies of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof ("Certificate of
Incorporation"), and the Company's Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the
"Bylaws"). The Company has set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereof all instruments and
agreements (other than the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws) governing
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock of
the Company (and the Company shall provide to ACS copies thereof upon the
request of ACS). All outstanding securities of the Company have been issued in
full compliance with an exemption or exemptions from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and from the registration
and qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Except
as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Company is not a party or

other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. The Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock has been reserved for issuance based upon
the initial conversion ratio and, when issued upon conversion, will be duly
authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all
liens, claims and encumbrances imposed or suffered by the Company and will not
be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the
Company.
3.5 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Collaboration Agreement by
the Company, and the consummation by the Company of transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation
for issuance, as applicable, of the Preferred Stock) do not and shall not (a)
result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (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 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 U.S. federal and state securities laws) 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
possible 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 or other organizational
documents, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries, is in default
(and no event has occurred which has not been waived which, with notice or lapse
of time or both, would put the Company or any of its subsidiaries in default)
under, nor has there occurred any event giving others (with notice or lapse of
time or both) 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, except for possible violations, defaults or rights as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries are not being conducted, and
shall not be conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity, except for possible violations the sanctions for which
either individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.5 hereof, or except (A) such as may be
required under the Securities Act in connection with the performance of the
Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) filing of a
Form D with the SEC, and (C) compliance with the state securities or Blue Sky
laws of applicable jurisdictions, and (D) the filing of the respective
Certificates of Designation, the Company is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or
governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it
to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement or to perform its
obligations in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.
3.6 SEC Reports. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.6 hereof, as of the date
of this Agreement, the Company has timely filed the SEC Reports required to be
filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company
has made available to ACS true and complete copies of the SEC Reports, except
for exhibits, schedules and incorporated documents. As of their respective
dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder applicable to the SEC Reports, and none of the SEC Reports, at the
time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any
such SEC Reports which is required to be updated or amended under applicable law
has not been so updated or amended. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Reports have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC during the periods involved (except (i) as may be
otherwise indicated in such consolidated financial statements or the notes
thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they
do not include footnotes or are condensed or summary statements) and present
accurately and completely in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates
thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in a manner clearly evident to
a sophisticated institutional investor in the consolidated financial statements
or the notes thereto of the Company included in the SEC Reports, the Company has
no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice subsequent to the
date of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and
commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in such financial statements. To the extent required by the rules of
the SEC applicable thereto, the SEC Reports contain a complete and accurate list
of all material undischarged written or oral contracts, agreements, leases or
other instruments to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which
the Company or any subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties or
assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (each a "Contract"). None of
the Company, its subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any of
the other parties thereto, is in breach or violation of any Contract, which
breach or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect. No event, occurrence
or condition exists which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or
both, would become a default by the Company or its subsidiaries thereunder which
would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not provided to ACS any
material non-public information or any other information which, according to
applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly by the
Company but which has not been so disclosed.
3.7 Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2003, there has been no
material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business,
properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the
Company. The Company has not taken any steps and does not currently expect to
take any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy or receivership
law, nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings with respect to
the Company.
3.8 Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court,
public board, government agency, or self-regulatory organization or body pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened in
writing against or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of
their respective directors or officers in their capacities as such, which could
reasonably be expected to result in an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding
which would have a Material Adverse Effect or would adversely affect the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated
hereby or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, this
Agreement or any of such other documents. There are no facts known to the
Company which, if known by a potential claimant or governmental authority, could
reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted
or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.9 Permits, Licenses; Compliance with Laws; Company Products. Each of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries has all licenses, franchises, permits, and
other governmental authorizations and approvals necessary to conduct its
business as currently conducted and as contemplated, and neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any such license, franchise, permit,
or other governmental authorization or approval, or any law applicable to it or
any of its properties, except where the failure to have any such license,
franchise, permit, or other governmental authorization or approval, or the
existence of any such violation, has not had and would not be reasonably likely
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No
investigation or review by any governmental authority with respect to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened. No governmental authority has expressed to the Company an intention
to conduct any such investigation or review.
3.10 Disclosure. No information relating to or concerning the Company set
forth in this Agreement contains an untrue statement of a material fact. No
information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in any of the SEC
Reports contains a statement of material fact that was untrue as of the date
such SEC Report was filed with the SEC. The Company has not omitted to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except
for the execution and performance of this Agreement, no material fact (within
the meaning of the federal securities laws of the United States and of
applicable state securities laws) exists with respect to the Company which has
not been publicly disclosed.
3.11 Acknowledgment Regarding ACS's Purchase of the Securities. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that ACS is not acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, that this Agreement and the
transaction contemplated hereby, and the relationship between ACS and the
Company, are "arms-length," and that any statement made by ACS (except as set
forth in Article II), or any of its representatives or agents, in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a
recommendation, is merely incidental to ACS's purchase of the Securities and has
not been relied upon as such in any way by the Company, its officers or
directors. The Company further represents to ACS that the Company's decision to
enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby has been
based solely on an independent evaluation by the Company and its
representatives.
3.12 S-2 Registration. The Company is not currently eligible to register
the Common Stock underlying the conversion of Preferred Stock on a registration
statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. However, the Company is eligible
to use Form S-1 or S-2 under the Securities Act.
3.13 Securities Laws. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of ACS contained in Section 2 hereof on the date hereof and at each
Closing, the offer, issue, and sale of the Preferred Stock and the offer of the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock are exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and have
been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification)
under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable
state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any distributor participating on
the Company's behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby (if any) nor any
person acting for the Company, or any such distributor, has conducted any
"general solicitation," as described in Rule 502(c) under Regulation D, with
respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby.
3.14 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 prevent the parties hereto from
consummating the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to an exemption from
the registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the provisions of
Regulation D. The transactions contemplated hereby are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties herein contained of ACS.
3.15 No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to
any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments by ACS relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
3.16 Intellectual Property.
(a) Schedule 3.16(a) hereof lists all patents and patent applications owned
or used by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that relate to the Therapeutic
Field (as defined in the Collaboration Agreement), including the owner and
jurisdictions in which each such patent and patent application has been issued
or registered or in which any application for such issuance and registration has
been filed. To the best of its knowledge, the Company and its subsidiaries are
the sole and exclusive owner of, or otherwise have a valid license or right to
use, all Proprietary Rights free and clear of any liens, charges, pledges,
mortgages, security interests, claims, options, warrants, or encumbrances of any
kind or character. "Proprietary Rights" means all material inventions, patents,
patent applications, patent disclosures, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, service xxxx applications, logos, trade names, domain names,
copyrights, trade secrets, and all other intellectual property (whether
patentable or unpatentable) (i) associated with the Lead Drug or other PDT Drug
or PDT Device as each are defined in the Collaboration Agreement or (ii) that
are related to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as
presently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted, and each of the
Company or any subsidiary has the right to use all of its Proprietary Rights in
all jurisdictions in which the Company or such subsidiary conducts its business.
(b) No person has a right to receive a royalty or similar payment from the
Company or any subsidiary for their use of any Proprietary Rights pursuant to
any contractual arrangements entered into by the Company or any subsidiary as of
the date of this Agreement. Except as listed in Schedule 3.16(b), as of the date
of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any licenses
granted, sold, or otherwise transferred by or to it (other than standard
licenses or rights to use granted to customers in the ordinary course of its
business) nor other agreements to which any of them is a party, relating in
whole or in part to any of the Proprietary Rights. The Company has exclusive
access, free of any obligations of any nature to any other Person (as defined
herein), to the Lead Drug (and the final formulated drug product) in the
Therapeutic Field used in the Phase I Trial, all as defined in the Collaboration
Agreement, and will continue to maintain such exclusive access for at least 48
months from the date hereof. "Person" means any individual, corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, trust,
government or governmental instrumentality, agency, division or office or any
other entity, organization or group. ACS acknowledges receipt of information
from the Company that the Lead Drug and the final formulated drug product will
be manufactured by Gilead Sciences, Inc. ("Gilead") using Gilead's proprietary
liposomal formulation technology ("Gilead's Technology"). The Company may be
required to pay a royalty to Gilead for the use of the Gilead Technology, but
such requirement will not prevent the Company's exclusive access to the Lead
Drug and the final formulated drug product.
(c) Either the Company or a subsidiary exclusively owns or has the
exclusive right to use, sell, license, or sublicense each of the Proprietary
Rights. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Proprietary Rights owned
by the Company or any subsidiary is involved in any pending or to the Company's
knowledge threatened litigation. No third party (i) has any ownership right in
or the right to use any such Proprietary Rights, (ii) as of the date of this
Agreement has notified the Company or any subsidiary that it claims any
ownership of or right to use such Proprietary Rights, or (iii) to the Company's
knowledge as of the date of this Agreement, is infringing upon any such
Proprietary Rights owned by the Company or any subsidiary in any way. To the
Company's knowledge as of the date of this Agreement, the Company's and the
subsidiaries' use of the Proprietary Rights in the conduct of their businesses,
including the production, marketing, selling, and servicing of their products,
is not infringing upon or otherwise violating the rights of any third party, and
no proceedings have been instituted against or notices received by the Company
and any subsidiary alleging that the Company's or any subsidiary's use of the
Proprietary Rights infringes upon or otherwise violates any rights of a third
party or that any of the Proprietary Rights are invalid. The Proprietary Rights
shall not cease to be valid and in full force and effect by reason of the
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) To the Company's knowledge, all Proprietary Rights that are used or
incorporated into the products of the Company and any subsidiary that are
proprietary to the Company and the subsidiaries, including those under
development, were developed by current or former employees, consultants, or
agents of the Company or one of the subsidiaries and are free of any claims of
such employees, consultants, or agents thereto. To the Company's knowledge, none
of such employees, consultants, or agents has violated in any material manner
any agreements with respect to the use or disclosure of confidential information
or Proprietary Rights.
3.17 Key Employees. No Key Employee, to the best of the knowledge of the
Company and its subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each Key Employee does not subject the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. No Key Employee has,
to the best of the knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries, any intention
to terminate his employment with, or services to, the Company or any of its
subsidiaries nor is any such Key Employee subject to any constraints that would
cause such Key Employee to be unable to devote his full time attention to the
employment or services of the Company or its subsidiaries. "Key Employee" means
each of Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and
Xxxxx X. Xxx, President.
3.18 Rights Plan. The Company has in effect a shareholders rights plan (the

insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount to allow it to
replace any of its material properties or assets which might be damaged or
destroyed or sufficient to cover liabilities to which the Company may reasonably
become subject, and such types and amounts of other insurance with respect to
its business and properties, on both a per occurrence and an aggregate basis, as
are customarily carried by persons engaged in the same or similar business as
the Company. No default or event has occurred that could give rise to a default
under any such policy. The Company does not carry product liability insurance as
of the date of this Agreement, and ACS is not requiring the Company to obtain
such product liability insurance coverage.

ARTICLE V
LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES
5.1 Removal of Legend. Upon the request of ACS, the Legend shall be removed
and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of
any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be
originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is
registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with
an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company
and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if,
after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the
effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such
registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144
and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security
can be so sold without restriction or (d) such Security can be sold pursuant to
Rule 144(k). ACS agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a
certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally
issued without the Legend, pursuant to an effective registration statement, in
accordance with the manner of distribution described in such registration
statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale, or in
compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any
Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of
other than pursuant to the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then
prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be
relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the
subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act. Also,
in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued
without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that
a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws,
then upon reasonable advance notice to ACS holding such Security, the Company
may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect
to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered,
which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion
with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.
5.2 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall instruct its transfer
agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of ACS or its nominee, for
the Preferred Stock in such amounts determined in accordance with the terms of
the Preferred Stock. Such certificates shall bear the Legend only to the extent
provided by Section 5.1 above. The Company covenants that no instruction other
than such instructions referred to in this Article V, or the suspension of
trading under a prospectus as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case
of the Preferred Stock prior to registration of the Common Stock underlying the
conversion of Preferred Stock under the Securities Act, shall 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. Nothing in this Section
shall affect in any way ACS's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1
hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with
an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.
If (a) ACS provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of
counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel
in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its
counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after
one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that
the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to
an exemption from registration or (b) ACS transfers Securities to an affiliate
which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the
Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same
representations, warranties and covenants made by ACS hereunder or pursuant to
Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the
Preferred Stock, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by ACS. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder shall
cause irreparable harm to ACS 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 Article V shall be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Article V, that ACS shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Each party hereto shall provide notice to the other parties of any change in
address.
8.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the
Company nor ACS shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ACS may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its
"affiliates," as that term is defined under the Securities Act, without the
consent of the Company so long as such affiliate is an accredited investor
(within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and agrees in
writing to be bound by this Agreement. This provision shall not limit ACS's
right to transfer the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or to
assign ACS's rights hereunder to any such transferee. In that regard, if ACS
sells all or part of its Preferred Stock to someone that acquires the shares
subject to restrictions on transferability (other than restrictions, if any,
arising out of the transferee's status as an affiliate of the Company), ACS
shall be permitted to assign its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to such
transferee.
8.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and
is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any
other person.
8.9 Survival and Indemnification. The representations and warranties of the
Company and the agreements and covenants shall survive the closing hereunder
notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of
ACS. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses as
they are incurred to, ACS and each of ACS `s officers, directors, employees,
partners, agents and affiliates for loss or damage arising as a result of or
related to (i) any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth herein, (ii) any
cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against ACS or its officers,
directors, employees, partners, agents or affiliates by a third party (including
for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and
arising out of or resulting from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby and (B) any transaction financed or to be
financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the
issuance and sale of the Securities, or (iii) the status of ACS or holder of the
Securities as an investor in the Company. To the extent that the foregoing
undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
such liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise
set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and
obligations under this Section 8.9 shall be the same as those set forth in
Section 6(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement. The representations and
warranties of ACS shall survive the Closing hereunder and ACS shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees,
partners, agents and affiliates for any loss or damage arising as a result of
the breach of ACS's representations and warranties.
8.10 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform, or cause
to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents,
as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
8.11 Publicity. Upon the execution of this Agreement and the initial
funding by ACS, each party may issue a press release regarding this transaction
and may file reports as appropriate with the SEC; provided, however, that the
Company provides a copy of its press release and current report on Form 8-K
prior to releasing or filing to obtain ACS's approval of such press release and
current report. ACS shall also provide a copy of its press release to the
Company for its review.
8.12 Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to
ACS shall limit any remedy which would otherwise be available to ACS at law or
in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights ACS may have with
any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment
contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder shall cause irreparable harm to ACS. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its
obligations under this Agreement shall be inadequate and agrees, in the event of
a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Agreement, that ACS shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate
compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.
8.13 Final Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules
hereto embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in
respect of the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject
matter. This Agreement does not supersede the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement,
dated May 11, 2001, between the Company and ACS.
