REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
2.1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation, duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own
and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company is duly qualified
to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property
owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not,
individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality,
validity or enforceability of the Securities (as defined below) or any of
this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights
Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction
Documents"), (y) have or result in a material adverse effect on the results
of operations, assets, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of
the Company, or (z) adversely impair the Company's ability to perform fully
on a timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents
(any of (x), (y) or (z), a "Material Adverse Effect").
(b) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the
Transaction Documents, and otherwise to carry out its obligations
thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents
by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
the Company and no further action is required by the Company. Each of the
Transaction Documents has been duly executed by the Company and, when
delivered (or filed, as the case may be) in accordance with the terms
hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company
- 2 -
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Company
is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other charter documents.
(c) Capitalization. The number of authorized, issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Company is set forth in Schedule 2.1(c). No shares of
Common Stock are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor is any
holder of the Common Stock entitled to preemptive or similar rights arising
out of any agreement or understanding with the Company by virtue of any of
the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(c), there
are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls
or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or, except as a
result of the purchase and sale of the Shares, securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any
right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or
rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. To the
knowledge of the Company, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC
Documents (as defined below) or Schedule 2.1(c), no Person or group of
related Persons beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) or has the right to acquire by agreement with or by
obligation binding upon the Company beneficial ownership of in excess of 5%
of the Common Stock. A "Person" means an individual or corporation,
partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint
venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an
agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
(d) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized, and, when
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, shall have been
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and rights of first refusal of any kind (collectively,
"Liens"). The Company has on the date hereof and will, at all times while
the Shares are outstanding, maintain an adequate reserve of duly authorized
shares of Common Stock, reserved for issuance to the holders of the Shares,
to enable it to perform its conversion and other obligations under this
Agreement and the Certificate of Designation. Such number of reserved and
available shares of Common Stock is not less than the sum of (i) subject to
the application of any floor to the Conversion Price set forth in the
Certificate of Designation, 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock
which would be issuable upon conversion in full of the Shares, assuming
such conversion occurred on the Original Issue Date or the Filing Date (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), whichever yields a lower
Conversion Price, and (ii) the number of shares Common Stock which would be
issuable upon payment of dividends on the Shares, assuming each Share is
outstanding for two years and all dividends are paid in shares of Common
Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares
and as payment of dividends thereon are collectively referred to herein as
the "Underlying Shares." The Shares and Underlying Shares are,
collectively, the "Securities." When issued in accordance with the
Certificate of Designation, the Underlying Shares shall have been duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of
all Liens.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with
or violate any provision of its certificate of incorporation,
- 3 -
bylaws or other charter documents (each as amended through the date
hereof), or (ii) subject to obtaining the Required Approvals (as defined
below), 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
(with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit
facility, indenture or instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise)
to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the
Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction
of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject
(including Federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which
any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except in the
case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), as could not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of
the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations which,
individually or in the aggregate, could not have or result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(f) Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any
consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or other Federal, state, local or
other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
Documents, other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Designation with
the Secretary of State of Delaware, (ii) the filing of the Underlying
Securities Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, (iii) the application to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ")
for the listing of the Underlying Shares with the NASDAQ, (iv) the filing
of a Form D with the Commission, and (v) in all other cases where the
failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give
such notice or make such filing or registration could not have or result
in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (the
consents, waivers, authorizations, orders, notices and filings referred to
in (i)-(v) of this Section are, collectively, the "Required Approvals").
(g) Litigation; Proceedings. Except as specifically disclosed in the
SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of its properties before or by any
court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(Federal, state, county, local or foreign) which (i) adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, individually or in
the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) No Default or Violation. The Company is not (i) in default under
or in violation of (and no event has occurred which has not been waived
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by
the Company under), nor has the Company received notice of a claim that it
is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or
credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, (ii) in violation
of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) in
violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority,
except as could not individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Private Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Sections 2.2(b)-(g), the offer,
issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Neither the Company nor any Person
acting on its behalf has taken any action could subject the offering,
issuance or sale of the Securities to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
(j) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has filed all
reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the

valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Documents
prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective
dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Documents, when filed, 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. All material agreements to
which the Company is a party or to which the property or assets of the
Company are subject have been filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents. The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules
and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the
time of filing. Such financial statements were prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis ("GAAP") during the periods involved, except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. The
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31,
1997 were audited and reported upon by the Company's independent auditors
in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Since December
31, 1997, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Documents, (a) there
has been no event, occurrence or development that could have or result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (b) the Company has not incurred any liabilities

ARTICLE III
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
3.1 Transfer Restrictions. (a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, to the Company
or pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with any
transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement or to the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company
may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the
books of the Company and with any transfer agent for the securities of the
Company any transfer of Securities by the Purchaser to an Affiliate of the
Purchaser or to a fund under common management with the Purchaser, and any
transfer among any such Affiliates or funds, provided that transferee certifies
to the Company that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities solely for
investment purposes. Any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by
the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this
Section 3.1(b), of the following legend on the Securities:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE
SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT
BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON CONVERSION SET FORTH IN A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 29, 1998, BETWEEN COMPOSITECH LTD.
(THE "COMPANY") AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER HEREOF. A COPY OF THAT
AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
Underlying Shares shall not contain the legend set forth above nor any
other legend if the conversion of Shares, the payment of dividends thereon, or
other issuances of Underlying Shares as contemplated hereby or by the
Certificate of Designation occurs at any time while an Underlying Securities
Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act or, in the event
- 9 -
there is not an effective Underlying Securities Registration Statement at such
time, if in the opinion of counsel to the Company such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The
Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the
Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company's transfer agent on the day that the
Underlying Securities Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission. The Company agrees that it will provide the Purchaser, upon request,
with a certificate or certificates representing Underlying Shares, free from
such legend at such time as such legend is no longer required hereunder. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company which enlarge the restrictions of transfer set
forth in this Section.
3.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance
of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares and payment of dividends
thereon in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation may
result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may
be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges
that its obligation to issue Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares and
payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of
Designation is unconditional and absolute, subject to the limitations set forth
herein and in the Certificate of Designation (including any floor to the
Conversion Price set forth therein), regardless of the effect of any such
dilution.
3.3 Furnishing of Information. As long as the Purchaser owns Securities,
the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof
and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. As long as the Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such sections, it will prepare and furnish
to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c)
promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements,
together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and
substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be
included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such
filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell Underlying Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including the legal opinion referenced
above in this Section. Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall
deliver to such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as
to whether it has complied with such requirements.
3.4 Blue Sky Laws. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company shall qualify or exempt the issuance and sale of the Underlying
Shares under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Purchaser may reasonably request and shall continue such qualification or
exemption at all times until the Purchaser notifies the Company in writing that
it no longer owns Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation it is not
now so qualified or to take any action that
- 10 -
would subject the Company to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then subject.
3.5 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to
ensure that, no Affiliate shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of
the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser.
3.6 Increase in Authorized Shares. At such times as the Company would be,
if a notice of conversion were to be delivered on such date, precluded from
converting 200% of the Shares outstanding (and paying any earned and unpaid
dividends in respect thereof in shares of Common Stock) that remain unconverted
at such date (subject to the application of any floor to the Conversion Price
that may be set forth in the Certificate of Designation) due to the
unavailability of a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued or
reserved Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company shall promptly (and
in any case, within 30 Business Days from such date) prepare and mail to the
stockholders of the Company proxy materials requesting authorization to amend
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Company is authorized to issue to at least such number of
shares as reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to provide for such
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to enable the Company
to comply with its conversion and reservation of shares obligations as set forth
in this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation (the sum of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock then authorized, (y) the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding plus all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
all outstanding options, warrants and convertible instruments, and (z) (subject
to the application of any floor to the Conversion Price that may be set forth in
the Certificate of Designation) 200% of the number of Underlying Shares as are
then issuable upon a conversion in full of all Shares and as payment of
dividends thereon, shall be a reasonable number). In connection therewith, the
Board of Directors shall (a) adopt proper resolutions authorizing such increase,
(b) recommend to and otherwise use its best efforts to promptly and duly obtain
stockholder approval to carry out such resolutions (and hold a special meeting
of the stockholders no later than the 60th day after delivery of the proxy
materials relating to such meeting) and (c) within 5 business Days of obtaining
such stockholder authorization, file an appropriate amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation to evidence such increase.
3.7 Listing and Reservation of Underlying Shares. (a) The Company shall (i)
not later than the 20th day following the Closing Date, prepare and file with
the NASDAQ (as well as any other national securities exchange or market or
trading or quotation facility on which the Common Stock is then listed) an
additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
Stock which is at least equal to the number of shares required to be reserved
pursuant to Section 2.1(d), (ii) take all steps necessary to cause the such
shares to be approved for listing in the NASDAQ (as well as on any other
national securities exchange or market or trading or quotation facility on which
the Common Stock is then listed) as soon as possible thereafter, and (iii)
provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing, and the Company shall
maintain the listing of its Common Stock thereon. If the number of Underlying
Shares as are issuable upon conversion in full of the number of Shares then
outstanding and as payment of dividends thereon exceeds 85% of the number of
Underlying
- 11 -
Shares previously listed on account thereof with NASDAQ (and other required
exchanges), the Company shall take the necessary actions to immediately list a
number of Underlying Shares as equals 200% of the number of Underlying Shares
then issuable upon conversion of the Shares and as payment of dividends thereon
(subject to the application of any floor to the Conversion Price that may be set
forth in the Certificate of Designation).
(b) The Company shall maintain a reserve of Common Stock for issuance upon
conversion of the Shares (and for payment of dividends thereon in shares of
Common Stock) in such amount as may be required to perform its obligations in
full under the Transaction Documents, which reserve shall include a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to (subject to the application of any floor to the
Conversion Price that may be set forth in the Certificate of Designation) no
less than two times the number of shares of Common Stock as would be issuable
upon conversion in full of the Shares and upon payment of dividends thereon.
3.8 Purchaser Ownership of Common Stock. The Purchaser agrees not to
convert Shares to the extent such conversion would result in the Purchaser
beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding, including shares issuable upon
conversion of the Shares held by such Purchaser after application of this
Section. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section applies,
the determination of whether Shares are convertible (in relation to other
securities owned by a Purchaser) and of which Shares are convertible shall be in
the sole discretion of the Purchaser, and the submission of Shares for
conversion shall be deemed to be such Purchaser's determination of whether such
Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by a Purchaser)
and of which portion of such Shares are convertible, in each case subject to
such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Purchaser to convert Shares
at such time as such conversion will not violate the provisions of this Section.
The provisions of this Section will not apply to any conversion pursuant to
Section 5(a)(ii) of the Certificate of Designation, and may be waived by the
Purchaser upon not less than 75 days prior notice to the Company, and the
provisions of this Section shall continue to apply until such 75th day (or
later, if stated in the notice of waiver).
3.9 Conversion Procedures. The Transfer Agent Instructions and Conversion
Notice (as defined in Exhibit A) set forth the totality of the procedures with
respect to the conversion of the Shares, including the form of legal opinion, if
necessary, that shall be rendered to the Company's transfer agent and such other
information and instructions as may be reasonably necessary to enable the
Purchaser to convert its Shares as contemplated in the Certificate of
Designation.
3.10 Notice of Breaches. (a) Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall
give prompt written notice to the other of any breach by it of any
representation, warranty or other agreement contained in any Transaction
Document, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date hereof
which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation or warranty or
other agreement of such party, as the case may be, contained therein to be
incorrect or breached. However, no disclosure by either party pursuant to this
Section shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or
other agreement contained in any Transaction Document.
- 12 -
(b) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 3.10(a), the Company shall
promptly notify the Purchaser of any notice or claim (written or oral) that it
receives from any lender of the Company to the effect that the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents violates or would
violate any written agreement or understanding between such lender and the
Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish by facsimile to the holders of
the Shares a copy of any written statement in support of or relating to such
claim or notice.

to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Placement shall be
