Company or in any of its properties or assets, in any material impairment of the
right or ability of the Company to carry on its business as now conducted or as

the terms of this Agreement are exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
3.11 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in, nor
---------------------------------
will the conduct of its business as proposed to be conducted result in any
violation, breach or default of any term of its Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws, or in any material respect of any term or provision of any mortgage,
indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party,
or, to its knowledge, of any provision of any foreign or domestic state or
federal judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to or
binding upon the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement, and the issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto
(and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares) will not
result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute a default
under any such term.
3.12 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company in
----------
this Agreement or any statement or certificate furnished or to be furnished to
the Purchasers pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
6
3.13 Registration Rights. Except as contained in the Investors
-------------------
Rights Agreement, the Company will not, as of the Closing, be under any
obligation, including any "piggy back" obligation, to register (as defined in

any of its securities that may hereafter be issued.
4. Representations and Warranties of Purchasers. Each Purchaser
--------------------------------------------
severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the company as follows:
4.1 Authorization. All action on the part of purchaser necessary
-------------
for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby has been taken and,
assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, when executed and delivered
by Purchaser, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of Purchaser.
4.2 Experience. 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.
4.3 Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares (and the Common
----------
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) for investment for its own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection
with, any distribution thereof. Purchaser understands that the Shares (and the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of such Purchaser's
representations as expressed herein.
4.4 Rule 144. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares (and the
--------
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless Purchaser avails
itself of an available exemption from such registration requirements. Purchaser
is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act
which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
7
including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the Shares,
the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the
resale occurring not less than two years after a party has purchased and paid
for the securities to be sold, the sale being effected through a "broker's
transaction" or in transactions directly with a "market maker" and the number of
shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified
limitations.
4.5 No Public Market. Purchaser understands that no public market
----------------
now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company
has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company's
securities.
4.6 Access to Data. Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss
--------------
the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the Company's
management and has also had an opportunity to ask questions of the Company's
officers, which questions were answered to its satisfaction.
4.7 Restrictions on Transfers. Purchaser agrees that in no event
-------------------------
will it make a transfer or disposition of any of the Shares (or any Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof) (other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act), unless and until (i) Purchaser
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the
disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, at the expense of Purchaser
or transferee, Purchaser shall have furnished to the Company an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
4.8 Due Diligence. The Purchaser has been solely responsible for
-------------
the Purchaser's "due diligence" investigation of the Company and its management
and business, for the analysis of the merits and risks of this investment and of
the fairness and desirability of the terms of the investment; that in taking any
action or performing any role relative to the arranging of the proposed
investment, such Purchaser has acted solely in the Purchaser's interest, and
that neither the Purchaser nor any of its agents or employees has acted as an
agent of the Company, or as an issuer, underwriter, broker, dealer or investment
advisor relative to any of the Securities.
