respects as of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date; and
(d) the other documents and instruments referred to in Section 5
hereof.
1.7 ADJUSTMENT TO NUMBER OF SHARES AND UNITS.
(a) REDUCED NUMBER OF SHARES AND UNITS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. The
number of shares of the Company's common stock and Series A preferred stock
delivered to MiraQuest at Closing and the number of membership units of
MiraQuest to be delivered to the Company at Closing shall be reduced if the
loans to the Company from MiraQuest that are canceled at Closing pursuant to
Section 1.3(b)(iii) are less than $900,000. The amount of such reduction shall
be determined by the following steps:
(1) subtract the amount of loans canceled at Closing
pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(iii) from $900,000 (the
"Resultant");
(2) divide the Resultant from Step (1) by $2,000,000 (the
"Percentage");
(3) multiply the Percentage from Step (2) by the number of
shares of the Company's common stock and Series A
preferred stock being purchased by MiraQuest pursuant
to Section 1.2; and
(4) multiply the Percentage from Step (2) by the number of
membership units of MiraQuest being delivered to the
Company pursuant to Section 1.2.
The number of shares calculated in Step (3) shall be held, in trust,
by the Company's attorney and the number of membership units calculated in Step
(4) shall be held, in trust, by MiraQuest's attorney.
4
(b) PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If and when MiraQuest pays
the amount calculated in Step (1) to the Company, the Company's attorney shall
deliver to MiraQuest the shares it is holding in trust and MiraQuest's attorney
shall deliver to the Company the membership units of MiraQuest it is holding in
trust. If MiraQuest pays less than the full amount calculated in Step (1), then
the Company's attorney shall deliver a number of shares and MiraQuest's attorney
shall deliver a number of membership units in the same proportion that the
amount paid bears to the amount calculated in Step (1).
(c) TERMINATION OF TRUST ARRANGEMENTS. The trust arrangement
with the Company's attorney for holding the shares and with MiraQuest's attorney
for holding the membership units calculated in Section 1.7(a) shall terminate on
December 31, 2000. If there are any shares being held by the Company's attorney
at that time, such shares shall be returned to the Company and if there are any
membership units being held by MiraQuest's attorney at that time, such
membership units shall be returned to MiraQuest.
1.8 TREATMENT OF LOANS TO THE COMPANY FROM MIRAQUEST. In the
event that Closing does not occur by August 15, 2000, or such other date as
agreed to by the parties, then the loans to the Company from MiraQuest
referenced in Section 1.3 shall not be canceled but shall be converted into the
Company's common stock and warrants as follows: for each $2 of monies loaned to
the Company by MiraQuest, MiraQuest shall receive (i) one share of common stock
of the Company plus (ii) two warrants, which shall vest immediately, to purchase
two shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $2 per
warrant.

2.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PERMITS. To the best of its
knowledge, the Company is not in violation, in any material respect, of any
applicable statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or restriction of
any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in
respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties and
assets, including without limitation, regulations concerning hazardous or toxic
wastes, materials or substances, pollutants or contaminants and tax statutes and
regulations, the violation of which would materially and adversely affect the
business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) operations or
prospects of the Company. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and
any similar authority ("Governmental Authorizations") necessary for the conduct
of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which or failure to
obtain would materially and adversely affect the business, properties, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the Company, and believes
it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the
conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. All such Governmental
Authorizations are in full force and effect, and no violations have been
communicated in writing to the Company in respect of same and no proceeding is
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened toward the revocation of any
such franchises, licenses, permits and any similar authority. The Schedule of
Exceptions contains a complete and accurate list of each Governmental
Authorization that is held by the Company or that otherwise relates to the
business of, or to any of the assets owned or used by, the Company. The listed
Governmental Authorizations collectively constitute all of the Governmental
Authorizations necessary to permit the Company to lawfully conduct and operate
its business in the manner it currently conducts and operates the business and
to permit the Company to own and use its assets in the manner in which it
currently owns and uses the assets.
2.10 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Company is not, and
will not by virtue of entering into and performing this Agreement, the Related
Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder,
respectively, be in violation or default in any material respect of any
provision of its Charter Documents or of any term or provision of
8
any mortgage, indenture, contract, lease agreement or instrument to which it
is a party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, order, writ, decree or
to its knowledge, statute, rule, regulation or restriction applicable to the
Company which could have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of
the Company. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the Related Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Securities
pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Series A Preferences, and the
consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will
not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any
such violation or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any of
the above, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge,
or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the
suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any permit,
license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or
operations, or any of its assets or properties. The Company has avoided
every condition, and has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would
result in the Company's loss of any material right under any license, permit,
contract or any other agreement.
2.11 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS. No employee, officer,
stockholder or director of the Company or member of his or her immediate family
is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make
loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than (i) for payment
of salary for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable expenses
incurred on behalf of the Company, and (iii) for other standard employee
benefits generally made available to all employees (including stock option

persons has any direct or indirect ownership in any firm or corporation with
which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business
relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except
that employees, stockholders, officers or directors of the Company and members
of their immediate families may own stock in publicly-traded companies that may
compete with the Company. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no officer,
director or stockholder or any member of their immediate families is, directly
or indirectly, interested in any material contract with the Company (other than
such contracts as relate to any such person's ownership or capital stock or
other securities of the Company). The Company is not a guarantor, surety or
indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.
2.12 AGREEMENTS; ACTION.

understandings or proposed transactions between the Company and any of its
officers, directors, affiliates or any affiliate thereof.

(iii) made any loans or advances to any person, other than ordinary advances for
travel expenses, or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its
assets or rights, other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of
business.
(d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.
(e) The Company is not a party to and is not bound by any
contract, agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction under its

produce, assemble, license, market or sell its services or products to any
other person and is not bound by any agreement that affects the Company's
exclusive right to develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell
its services or products.
2.13 TITLE TO PROPERTY AND ASSETS; LEASES. The Company has good
and marketable title to its property and assets, and good title to its leasehold
interests and estates, in each case free and clear of all mortgages, liens,
claims, encumbrances and charges, other than (i) liens for current taxes not yet
delinquent, (ii) minor liens imposed by law and incurred in the ordinary course
of business for obligations not past due to common carriers, warehousemen,
laborers, materialmen, and the like, (iii) liens in respect of pledges or

10
such property or assets. All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures,
vehicles and other properties owned, leased or used by the Company are in
good operating condition and repair and are reasonably fit and usable for the
purposes for which they are being used.

2.15 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, the Company owns or possesses sufficient title or legal rights to all
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets,
information and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for its
business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, without any known
infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options,
licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company
bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with
respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes
of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising
from the purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products. The Company has not
received any written communications alleging that the Company has violated or
infringed or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate or infringe
any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade
secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity,
12
nor is the Company aware of any such violations. The Company is not aware
that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses,
covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would
interfere with their duties to the Company or that would conflict with the
Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, nor the carrying on of
the Company's business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the
Company's business as proposed will, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under
which any employee is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or
will be necessary to utilize any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary
information of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the
Company, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information that
have been assigned to the Company.
2.16 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened
against the Company or its properties before any court or governmental agency,
that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Related Agreements or the
right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the
business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) operations or
prospects of the Company, or any change in the current equity ownership of the
Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for the foregoing.
The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or threatened (or
any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of any
of the Company's employees, their use in connection with the Company's business
of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The
Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

2.18 LABOR AGREEMENTS AND ACTIONS. The Company is not bound by
or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to)
any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement
with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of
the Company, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or
agents of the Company. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the
Company pending, or to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, which could
have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition,
operating results or business of the Company, nor is the Company aware of any
labor organizing activity involving
13
its employees. Each employee of the Company is employed on an at-will basis.
To its knowledge, the Company has complied in all material respects with all
applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity laws and with other
laws related to employment. To the knowledge of the Company, no employee of
the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in
violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information
agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual
to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company because of the nature of
the business to be conducted by the Company that would have a material
adverse effect on the Company; and to the Company's knowledge, the continued
employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of
the Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in
any such violation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
To its knowledge, the Company has not received any notice alleging that any
such violation has occurred.
2.19 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Except for the group insurance
programs listed in the Schedule of Exceptions, if any, the Company does not

reflects all actions by the directors and stockholders with respect to all
transactions referred to in such minutes accurately in all material respects.

Exceptions, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the

(a) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation
of any resolution adopted by the board of directors or the stockholders of
the Company;

Company as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such
financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP, subject, in the case of
interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the
effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially
adverse) and the absence of notes (that, if presented, would not differ
materially from those included in the Balance Sheet); the financial
statements referred to in this Section reflect the consistent application of
such accounting principles throughout the periods involved. No financial
statements of any Person other than the Company are required by GAAP to be
included in the financial statements of the Company. Except as set forth in
the Schedule of Exceptions, the Company has no liabilities or obligations of
any nature (whether known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued,

(i) the performance of his duties as an employee or director of the Company, or

this Agreement, or if the Company becomes aware of the occurrence after the date

contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a material breach of any
such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as
of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. Should any
such fact or condition require any change to the Schedule of Exceptions to this
Agreement if such Schedule were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of
any such fact or condition, the Company will promptly deliver to MiraQuest a
supplement to the Schedule of Exceptions specifying such change.
6.4 NO NEGOTIATION. The Company agrees that until Closing,

substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement.

that the Company has the minimum net tangible assets required under NASD Rule

breach of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other
party and such breach has not been waived;

date as the parties may agree upon.
7.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Each party's right of termination
under Section 7.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this
Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be
an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
6.1 and Section 7.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement
will terminate, except that the obligations in Section 8 will survive; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of a breach of
the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the
terminating party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a
result of the other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this
Agreement, the terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will
survive such termination unimpaired.
