NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth

acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. SALE OF SHARES; PURCHASE PRICE. Effective as of the date hereof, the
Company hereby sells the Shares to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases the Shares

not dispose of any of the Shares in contravention of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any applicable state
securities laws.
2.2 SALE AND PURCHASE NOT REGISTERED. Buyer is aware that she
is acquiring the Shares from the Company in a transaction that has not
been registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to the securities
laws and regulations of any State, and that as a consequence, the
Shares are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and may be resold only to the
extent permitted by Rule 144 or any subsequent registration of the
securities via a registration statement per Paragraph 3 herein, or
pursuant to a transaction that is registered under the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws and regulations, or pursuant to a
transaction that is exempt from such registration.

as that term is defined under Rule 144. Buyer is familiar with the
provisions of Rule 144 and understands the definition of "accredited
investor."
2.4 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Buyer has had an opportunity to
ask questions and receive answers concerning the Shares and the
business and financial condition of the Company and has had full
access to (A) such information concerning the Company as she has
requested and (B) such other information that Buyer deems necessary or
desirable to make an informed investment decisions regarding the
purchase of the Shares.
2.5 ABLE TO BEAR ECONOMIC RISK. Buyer is able to bear the
economic risk of her investment in the Shares for an indefinite period
of time and can afford a total loss of her investment in the Shares.
2.6 BINDING OBLIGATION. This Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against her

3. "PIGGY-BACK" REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided
herein, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), at any time but
no later than November 12, 2002, the registration form to be used shall be one
which may be used for the registration of resales by Buyer of the Shares (a
"Piggyback Registration"). The Company will include in the Piggyback
Registration, at no cost of any kind to Buyer, all of the Buyer's Shares. The
Company shall act with due diligence in the preparation of the registration
statement and the provision of all necessary follow-up responses to the SEC,
with a view toward expeditious completion of the registration process.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company may file Registration Statements on
Form S-8 with respect to the registration of securities issued or to be issued
to any employee, director, officer, consultant or advisor of the Company without
registering the resale by Buyer of the Shares as provided herein.

modified or amended except by means of a writing signed by each party hereto.

assigns. Any waiver of a right under the terms of this Agreement must be in
writing and signed by the waiving party.
5. SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered
separable, and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are

subject matter hereof in any way.
7. APPLICABLE LAW; FORUM; INDEMNIFICATION; ATTORNEY'S FEES. This
Agreement shall be interpreted, according to the laws of the State of South
Carolina, without giving effect to any provision of South Carolina law that

provisions of U.S. federal law, to apply. Buyer hereby irrevocably consents to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the State of South Carolina and
any U.S. federal court sitting in Greenville County, South Carolina for the
adjudication of any dispute relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and
waives any claims and the right to make any motions of forum non conveniens or
the like that would change the forum or venue of any dispute relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement from any such court.
