corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the

corporate power to carry on its business as presently conducted, and as
proposed or contemplated to be conducted in the future, and to enter into
and carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement.
b. Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the
Corporation, its directors and shareholders necessary for the
authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Corporation and the performance of all of the Corporation's obligations
hereunder has been taken. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by
the Corporation, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the
Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be
limited by principles of public policy, and subject to laws of general
application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors
and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies. The Shares, when issued in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable
c. No Breach. The issue and sale of the Shares by the Corporation
does not and will not conflict with and does not and will not result in a
breach of any of the terms of the Corporation's incorporating documents or
any agreement or instrument to which the Corporation is a party. The
consummation of the transactions or performance of the obligations
contemplated by this Agreement will not result in a breach of any term of,
or constitute a default under, any statute, indenture, mortgage, or other

d. Pending or Threatened Claims. Neither the Corporation nor any of
its subsidiaries is a party to any action, suit or proceeding which could
materially affect its business or financial condition, and no such actions,
suits or proceedings are contemplated or have been threatened.
5. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and
warrants to the Corporation that:
a. Account. The Investor is acquiring the Shares for investment for
its own account, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with,
any distribution thereof, and it has no present intention of selling or
distributing any of the Shares (but by making this representation the
Investor is not agreeing to hold the Shares for any minimum period of
time). The Investor understands that the Shares have not been 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 which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the investment as expressed herein.
b. Access to Data. The Investor has had an opportunity to discuss
the Corporation's business, management and financial affairs with its
management and to obtain any additional information which the Investor has
deemed necessary or appropriate for deciding whether or not to purchase the
Shares, and has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand the
disclosures and information regarding the Corporation's financial
statements, capitalization and other business information as set forth in
Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC
Filings") which are all incorporated herein by reference, together with all
exhibits referenced therein. The Investor acknowledges that no
representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made by the
Corporation or any agent thereof except as set forth in this Agreement.
Exhibits - 2
c. No Fairness Determination. The Investor is aware that no federal,
state or other agency has made any finding or determination as to the
fairness of the investment, nor made any recommendation or endorsement of
the Shares.
d. Knowledge And Experience. The Investor has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters, including investments in
other start-up companies, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Shares, and it is able to bear the economic
risk of such investment. Further, the individual executing this Agreement
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
he/it is capable of utilizing the information made available to him/it in
connection with the offering of the Shares, of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Shares and of making an informed investment
decision with respect to the Shares, including assessment of the Risk
Factors set forth in the SEC Filings which are incorporated herein by
reference.
e. Limited Public Market. The Investor is aware that there is
currently a very limited "over-the-counter" public market for the
Corporation's registered securities and that the Corporation became a
"reporting issuer" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
on January 27, 1995. There is no guarantee that a more established public
market will develop at any time in the future. The Investor understands
that the Shares are all unregistered and may not presently be sold in even
this limited public market. The Investor understands that the Shares cannot
be readily sold or liquidated in case of an emergency or other financial
need. The Investor has sufficient liquid assets available so that the
purchase and holding of the Shares will not cause it undue financial
difficulties
f. Authority. If Investor is a corporation, partnership, trust or
estate: (i) the individual executing and delivering this Agreement on
behalf of the Investor has been duly authorized and is duly qualified to
execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of Investor in connection with
the purchase of the Shares and (ii) the signature of such individual is
binding upon Investor.
g. Investment Experience. The Investor is an "accredited investor"
as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The term "Accredited Investor" under Regulation D
refers to:
i. A person or entity who is a director or executive officer
of the Corporation;
ii. Any bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities
Act, or any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in
Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual
or fiduciary capacity; any broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section
15 of the Exchange Act; insurance Corporation as defined in Section 2(13)
of the Securities Act; investment Corporation registered under the
Investment Corporation Act of 1940; or a business development Corporation
as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act; Small Business Investment
Corporation licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under
Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958; any
plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or
any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions for
the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of
$5,000,000; employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made
by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is
either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance Corporation, or
registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total
assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment
decision made solely by persons that are accredited investors;
iii. Any private business development Corporation as defined in
Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
iv. Any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business
trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Securities offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
v. Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net
worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds
$1,000,000;
Exhibits - 3
vi. Any natural person who had an individual income in excess
of $200,000 during each of the previous two years or joint income with that
person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a
reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current
year;
vii. Any trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities offered, whose
purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of the prospective investment; or
viii. Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited
investors.
ix. As used in this Section 4(g), the term "net worth" means
the excess of total assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of
determining a person's net worth, the principal residence owned by an
individual should be valued at fair market value, including the cost of
improvements, net of current encumbrances. As used in this Section 4(g),
"income" means actual economic income, which may differ from adjusted gross
income for income tax purposes. Accordingly, the undersigned should
consider whether it should add any or all of the following items to its
adjusted gross income for income tax purposes in order to reflect more
accurately its actual economic income: Any amounts attributable to
tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any
limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an
XXX or Xxxxx retirement plan, and alimony payments.
6. Lock-Up/Registration Rights. Except for the registration rights granted
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in this
Section 6), the Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be
subject to certain restrictions on transfer following a registered
public offering of the Corporation's securities as provided in this
Section 6. In connection with any underwritten registration of the
Corporation's securities, the Investor agrees, upon the request of the
underwriters managing such offering of the Corporation's securities, if
applicable, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option
for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than
those included in the registration) without the prior written consent
of the Corporation and, if applicable, such underwriters, as the case
may be, for such period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days before
and one hundred eighty (180) days, after the effective date of such
registration as the Corporation or the underwriters may specify;
provided, however, that all executive officers, directors and
shareholders holding more than 1% of the fully diluted capital stock of
the Corporation are subject to the same restrictions as the Investor.
The Corporation and underwriters may request such additional written
agreements in furtherance of such standoff in the form reasonably
satisfactory to the underwriter and the Investor. The Corporation may
also impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares
subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of said one hundred
eighty (180) day or shorter period. Contemporaneous with the execution
of this Agreement, the Corporation and the Investor shall enter into a
written resale registration rights agreement in form and substance
substantially as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), which shall provide for the registration by the
Corporation of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and such states as may be required by the Investor according to the
terms of such agreement. The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to
this Section hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur
of (i) such time as all of the Shares have been resold or (ii) such
time as all of the Shares may be sold during any 90 day period pursuant
to Rule 144, including Rule 144(k) or (iii) upon the second anniversary
date of the effective date of this Agreement.
7. Restrictive Legends. Each certificate evidencing the Shares which the
