receive the amount of the Additional Warrants set forth on Schedule 2.1.
The acceptance for exchange and the exchange of all outstanding Old

3 Business Days, after the Expiration Date. The Company will be deemed to have
accepted for exchange tendered Old Notes as, if and when the Company gives oral

Notes. Any Old Notes tendered to and accepted by the
-12-
Company prior to the Expiration Date shall be exchanged as of November 5, 1998,

Section 3.1(a) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE HOLDERS. Each
Holder severally represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the
Company that the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants to be received by each
Holder in exchange for Old Notes pursuant to this Agreement are being received
for such Holder's own account and not for the account of any ERISA Plan, for the
purpose of investment and with no intention of distributing or reselling the
Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants or any part thereof in any transaction,
which would be or result in a Prohibited Transaction or would be in violation of
the securities laws of the United States of America or any State, without
prejudice, however, to each Holder's rights at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants under a
registration under the Act or under an exemption from such registration
available under such Act, provided that the disposition of such Holder's
property at the time of the sale or disposition of the Exchange Notes or
Exchange Warrants is within such Holder's control. If a Holder should in the
future decide to dispose of any of the Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants, such
Holder understands and agrees with the Company that it will do so only (i) if
such disposition will not be or result in a Prohibited Transaction; (ii) if a
subsequent or transferee Holder shall agree in writing to be bound by the
representations and warranties of this Article III; and that such Holder may do
so only in compliance with the Act, as then in effect, and that stop-transfer
instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to the Exchange Notes
or Exchange Warrants. If a Holder should decide to dispose of any of the
Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants, the Company must first be in receipt of an
opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed disposition of the Exchange
Notes or Exchange Warrants would not be in violation of the Act. Each Holder
agrees to the imprinting of legends required by law on certificates representing
all of the Exchange Notes and Exchange
-14-
Warrants including but not limited to the following: "This security has not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities
laws and may be reoffered and sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only if so
registered or if an exemption from registration is available."
Each Holder also severally represents and warrants to the Company that
(i) it has received and reviewed (a) the form of the Exchange Notes Indenture
and (b) copies of all annual reports and quarterly reports, proxy statements and
other reports filed by the Company since January 1, 1998 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the terms of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended; (ii) it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule
501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the
terms and conditions of the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants and the
transactions contemplated hereby and has relied solely on the representations
and warranties made herein in determining to exchange the Old Notes for the
Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants; (iii) it has all requisite corporate power
and authority (A) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, (B) to exchange the Old Notes for the Exchange Notes and Exchange
Warrants in the manner and for the purpose contemplated in this Agreement and
(C) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under all other agreements
and instruments executed and delivered by, or to be executed and delivered by,
the Holder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (iv) this Agreement has been duly
and validly authorized by each Holder and this Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by each Holder and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding agreement of each Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally; and (v) the exchange of each Holder's Old
Notes for the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants does not violate such
Holders' charter or by-laws or any other governing documents, any material law
or regulation or any court order applicable to it.
Each Holder has relied solely on the representations made herein in
determining to exchange the Holder's Old Notes for the Exchange Notes and
Exchange Warrants pursuant hereto.

Section 4.1 ORGANIZATION AND QUALIFICATION. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.1, each Credit Party is a corporation duly
-15-
organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is incorporated and has the power to own its respective property and to
carry on its respective business as now being conducted. Each Credit Party is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing
in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the respective business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary and where the failure
to so qualify would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse
Effect.
Section 4.2 DUE AUTHORIZATION. Each Credit Party has all
right, power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform the Exchange Offer
Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated
thereby. The execution and delivery of each Exchange Offer Document by each
Credit Party thereto and the performance by such Credit Party of the
transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance
and sale of the Exchange Notes, the Exchange Warrants and the Additional
Warrants by the Company) and compliance by each such Credit Party with all the
provisions of each Exchange Offer Document (as applicable) have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate proceedings on the part of each Credit
Party. Each of the Exchange Offer Documents has been duly executed and delivered
on behalf of each Credit Party party thereto, and each such Exchange Offer
Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit
Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective

insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws or by general principles of equity
relating to creditors' rights generally.

owned by the Company or another of its Subsidiaries free and clear of any Lien.
(c) There are no outstanding rights to purchase, options,
warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which the Company or any of

a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and as of the date hereof there is no fact or facts not
disclosed in the SEC Reports which relate specifically to the Company and/or any
of its Subsidiaries and which individually or in the aggregate may have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available for inspection by each

Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the
respective periods then ended (in each case subject, as to interim statements,

-17-
Section 4.6 LITIGATION. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule
4.6 hereto or as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit,

assets, free of all Liens and encumbrances, except as sold or otherwise disposed
of in the ordinary course of business and except for such Liens and encumbrances
which would not cause a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Schedule 4.7(b) sets forth a complete and
correct list of all insurance coverage carried by the Company or its
Subsidiaries, the carrier and the terms and amount of coverage. All of the
material assets of the Company and the Company's Subsidiaries and all aspects of
the Company's and its Subsidiaries' businesses that are of insurable character
are covered by insurance with insurers against risks of liability, casualty and
fire and other losses and liabilities customarily obtained to cover comparable
businesses and assets in amounts, scope and coverage which are consistent with
prudent industry practice. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
default with respect to its obligations under any such insurance policy
maintained by it. All such policies and other instruments are in full force and
effect and no premiums with respect thereto are past due and owed. Except as set
forth in Schedule 4.7(b), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
failed to give any notice or present any material claim under any such insurance
policy in due and timely fashion or as required by any of such insurance
policies, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has otherwise, through
any act, omission or non-disclosure, jeopardized or impaired full recovery of
any claim under such policies, and there are no claims by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries under any of such policies to which any insurance company is
denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights or similar clause.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any
pending or threatened termination of any of such policies or any premium
increases for the current policy period with respect to any of such policies and
the consummation of the transactions
-18-
contemplated by the Exchange Offer Documents will not result in any such
termination or premium increase. The Company does not maintain directors' and
officers' insurance.
Section 4.8 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS, ETC. No Credit Party is
required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization of, or to make any
registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or third party
as a condition to or in connection with the valid execution and delivery of any
of the Exchange Offer Documents or the valid offer, issue, sale or delivery of
the Exchange Notes, Exchange Warrants or the Additional Warrants, or the
performance by any such Credit Party of its obligations in respect of any
thereof, except for filings required pursuant to state and federal securities
laws to effect any registration of securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer

liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Taxes through such date. There
are no Liens with respect to Taxes upon any of the properties or assets, real or
personal, tangible or intangible, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

the Code. Neither any Credit Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained
or contributed to or been required to maintain or contribute to any employee

Knowledge of any claim, demand or notice alleging any such interference,
infringement or misappropriation (including any claim that it must license or
refrain from using any Intellectual Property rights of any third party). To the
Company's Knowledge, no third party has interfered with, infringed upon or
misappropriated any Intellectual Property rights of the Company or any of the

Credit Party possesses all franchises, certificates, licenses, permits and other
authorizations from Governmental Entities and other rights, free from burdensome
restrictions, that are necessary for the ownership, maintenance and operation of
their respective properties and assets, except for those the absence of which
would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, and
no Credit Party is in violation of any thereof, except for violations which
would not cause a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.14 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Each Credit Party is in
compliance with all applicable Laws including, without limitation, those
relating to protection of the environment, employment opportunity and employee

Other than the Class Action Settlement Agreement, no Credit Party is a party to
any Contract or is subject to any charter or by-law provision or any judgment or
decree which individually or in the aggregate has or is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the execution and delivery of any of the
Exchange Offer Documents, nor the issuance of the Exchange Notes, Exchange
Warrants or the Additional Warrants, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with
the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, will conflict with or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or give rise to a right of
termination under, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of
any Lien, or result in any violation of, the charter or by-laws or other
organizational documents of any Credit Party or any Contract of any Credit Party
except where such conflict, breach, right of termination, default, Lien or
violation would not cause a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party is in
default under any outstanding indenture or other debt instrument or with respect
to the payment of the principal of or interest on any outstanding obligations
for borrowed money, or is in default under any of its Contracts except, in the
case of Contracts, where such default would not cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.17 DISCLOSURE. Neither any Exchange Offer Document
nor any Schedule thereto, nor any certificate furnished to any Purchaser by or
on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby, taken as a whole, contains any untrue

material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein and therein not misleading.
Section 4.18 OFFERING OF NOTES. Neither the Company nor any
Person acting on its behalf has offered the Exchange Notes, Exchange Warrants or

Additional Warrants or any similar securities of the Company from or otherwise
approached or negotiated with respect to the Company with any Person other than
the Holders and other "accredited investors" (as defined in Rule 501(a) under

Securities Act) which could reasonably be expected to subject the offering,
issuance or sale of the Exchange Notes, Exchange Warrants or the Additional
Warrants to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or
violate the provisions of any securities, "blue sky", or similar law of any
applicable jurisdiction.
Section 4.19 EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS; FUTURE LIENS. (a) Schedule

effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any such Indebtedness and
no event or condition exists with respect to any such Indebtedness that would
permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or
more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its
stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. None of the
Company's 4% convertible debentures, due January 30, 2000, are outstanding.

Environmental Laws. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 4.20, (i) no
Credit Party has Knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim,

-23-
the environment emanating from, occurring on or affecting real properties now or
formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their
use; (ii) no Credit Party has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties
now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of

therefrom will be, insolvent within the meaning of Title 11 of the United States
Code or any comparable state law provision.

informal) or complaint pending, or to the Knowledge of each Credit Party,
threatened, against any Credit Party regarding any labor or employment matter.

practices of any Credit Party and, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party, no
reasonable basis for any such audit exists. Each Credit Party (i) is in
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and
