Investor's valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms, except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) the effect of
rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies. The Investor has
full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Investor
Rights Agreement

4.2 Purchase for Own Account. The Purchased Shares and the Warrant are
being acquired for investment for the Investors own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within
the meaning of the 1933 Act, and the Investor has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The
Investor also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Purchased Shares and the Warrant.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has received or has had full
access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares and the
Warrant to be purchased by the Investor under this Agreement. The Investor
further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the
Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased
Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares and to obtain additional information
(to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it
without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information
furnished to the investor or to which the Investor had access. The foregoing,
however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties
made by the Company in Article 3.
4.4 Investment Experience. The Investor understands that the purchase of
the Purchased Shares and the Warrant involves substantial risk. The Investor:
(a) has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges
that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment
in the Purchased Shares and the Warrant and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of this investment in the Purchased Shares and the Warrant and protecting
its own interests in connection with this investment and/or (b) has a
preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of
its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that
enables the Investor to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial
circumstances of such persons.
4.5 Accredited Investor Status. The Investor is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the 0000 Xxx.
4.6 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Purchased
Shares and the Warrant to be purchased by the Investor hereunder, and any
Warrant Shares to be purchased by the Investor upon exercise of the Warrant, are
characterized as "restricted securities" under the 1933 Act inasmuch as they are
being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations thereunder such
securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain
limited circumstances. The Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the SEC, as
presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the 1933 Act. The Investor understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder except as provided
in the Investor Rights Agreement.
4.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares, the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares unless and until:
12
13
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the 1933
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) the Investor has notified the Company of the proposed disposition
and has furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition, and the Investor has furnished the Company, at the
expense of the Investor or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require
registration of such securities under the 1933 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.7, no
such registration statement or opinion of counsel will be required for any
transfer of any Purchased Shares, the Warrant, or any Warrant Shares in
compliance with SEC Rule 144, Rule 144A or Rule 145(d), or if such transfer
otherwise is exempt, in the view of the Company's legal counsel, from the
registration requirements of the 0000 Xxx.
4.8 Legends. Certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares and the Warrant
Shares will bear each of the legends set forth below and the Warrant will bear
the legends set forth in (a) and (c) below:
(a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE
REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD
OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY
PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(b) THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS SPECIFIED IN A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF SUCH SHARES DATED AS OF JANUARY 13, 1997, A
COPY OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION AT THE ISSUER'S PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
(c) Any Legends required by any applicable state securities laws.
The Legend set forth in Section 4.8(a) hereof will be removed by the Company
from any certificate evidencing Purchased Shares or the Warrant Shares upon
delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that a registration statement under the 1933 Act is at that time in
effect with respect to the legended security or that such security
13
14
can be freely transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement
being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or
exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Purchased
Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares.

7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 Agreement to Indemnify.
(a) Company Indemnity. The Investor, its Affiliates and Associates,
and each officer, director, shareholder, employer, representative and agent of
any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Investor Indemnitees") shall each be
indemnified and held harmless to the extent set forth in this Section 7 by the
Company with respect to any and all Damages (as defined below) incurred by any
Investor Indemnitee as a proximate result of any inaccuracy or misrepresentation
in, or breach of, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by
the Company in this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement or the Warrant
(including any Exhibits and Schedules hereto).
(b) Investor Indemnity. The Company, its respective Affiliates and
Associates, and each officer, director, shareholder, employer, representative
and agent of any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Company Indemnitees")
shall each be indemnified and held harmless to the extent set forth in this
Section 7, by the Investor, in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any
Company Indemnitee as a result of any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or
breach of, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the
Investor in this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement.
(c) Equitable Relief. Nothing set forth in this Section 7 shall be
deemed to prohibit or limit any Investor Indemnitee's or Company Indemnitee's
right at any time before, on or after the Closing Date, to seek injunctive or
other equitable relief for the failure of any Indemnifying Party to perform or
comply with any covenant or agreement contained herein.
7.2 Survival. All representations and warranties of the Investor and the
Company contained herein or in the Investor Rights Agreement or the Warrant, and
all claims of any Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in respect of any
inaccuracy or misrepresentation in or breach thereof, shall survive the Closing
until the later of (i) the date of termination of the Right of Participation
under the Investor Rights Agreement, and (ii) the third anniversary of the date
of this Agreement, regardless of whether the applicable statute of limitations,
including extensions thereof, may expire (except to the extent any such covenant
or agreement shall expire by its terms). All covenants and agreements of the
Investor and the Company contained herein or in the Investor Rights Agreement or
the Warrant shall survive the Closing in perpetuity (except to the extent any
such covenant or agreement shall expire by its terms). All claims of any
Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee in respect of any breach of such
covenants or agreements shall survive the Closing until the expiration of two
years following the non-breaching party's obtaining actual knowledge of such
breach.
7.3 Claims for Indemnification. If any Investor Indemnitee or Company
Indemnitee (an "Indemnitee") shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 in respect of any Damages, such
Indemnitee shall give the appropriate Indemnifying Party (which for purposes
hereof, in the case of an Investor Indemnitee, means the Company, and in the
case of a Company Indemnitee, means the Investor) prompt written notice thereof.
Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then
known the basis
16
17
for such claim for indemnification. The failure of such Indemnitee to give
notice of any claim for indemnification promptly shall not adversely affect such
Indemnitee's right to indemnity hereunder except to the extent that such failure
adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party to assert any reasonable
defense to such claim. Each such claim for indemnity shall expressly state that
the Indemnifying Party shall have only the twenty (20) business day period
referred to in the next sentence to dispute or deny such claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall have twenty (20) business days following its receipt of such notice
either (a) to acquiesce in such claim by giving such Indemnitee written notice
of such acquiescence or (b) to object to the claim by giving such Indemnitee
written notice of the objection. If Indemnifying Party does not object thereto
within such twenty (20) business day period, such Indemnitee shall be entitled
to be indemnified for all Damages reasonably and proximately incurred by such
Indemnitee in respect of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party objects to such
claim in a timely manner, the senior management of the Company and the Investor
shall meet to attempt to resolve such dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved
by the senior management either party may make a written demand for formal
dispute resolution and specify therein the scope of the dispute. Within thirty
days after such written notification, the parties agree to meet for one day with
an impartial mediator and consider dispute resolution alternatives other than
litigation. If an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon
within thirty days after the one day mediation, either party may begin
litigation proceedings. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require
arbitration.
7.4 Defense of Claims. In connection with any claim that may give rise to
indemnity under this Section 7 resulting from or arising out of any claim or
Proceeding against an Indemnitee by a person or entity that is not a party
hereto, the Indemnifying Party may but shall not be obligated to (unless such
Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written
notice to the relevant Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such claim or
proceeding if the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or Proceeding
acknowledges to the Indemnitee the Indemnitee's right to indemnity pursuant
hereto to the extent provided herein (as such claim may have been modified
through written agreement of the parties or arbitration hereunder) and provides
assurances, satisfactory to such Indemnitee, that the Indemnifying Party will be
financially able to satisfy such claim to the extent provided herein if such
claim or Proceeding is decided adversely; provided, however, that nothing set
forth herein shall be deemed to require the Indemnifying Party to waive any
crossclaims or counterclaims the Indemnifying Party may have against the
Indemnified Party for damages. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain
separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, if the
Indemnified Counsel shall determine, upon the written advice of counsel, that an
actual or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding. The Indemnifying
Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
separate counsel to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or
Proceeding under this Section 7.4. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of any such claim or Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to conduct the defense of such claim or
Proceeding, shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof
and shall at all times diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof. If
the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of any claim or Proceeding
in accordance with this Section 7.4, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized
to consent to a settlement of, or
17
18
the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or Proceeding, with the
prior written consent of such Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all
amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the
effectiveness thereof; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not
be authorized to encumber any of the assets of any Indemnitee or to agree to any
restriction that would apply to any Indemnitee or to its conduct of business;
and provided, further, that a condition to any such settlement shall be a
complete release of such Indemnitee and its Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees and agents with respect to such claim, including any reasonably
foreseeable collateral consequences thereof. Such Indemnitee shall be entitled
to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own
counsel and at its own expense. Each Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of
its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents to, cooperate fully
with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any claim or Proceeding being
defended by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 7.4. If the
Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any claim or Proceeding
resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4, such
Indemnitee may defend against such claim or Proceeding in such manner as it may
deem appropriate, including settling such claim or proceeding after giving
notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as such Indemnitee
may deem appropriate. If any Indemnifying Party seeks to question the manner in
which such Indemnitee defended such claim or Proceeding or the amount of or
nature of any such settlement, such Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to
prove by a preponderance of the evidence that such Indemnitee did not defend
such claim or Proceeding in a reasonably prudent manner.
7.5 Certain Definitions. As used in this Section 7, (a) "Affiliate" means,
with respect to any person or entity, any person or entity directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control

such first person or entity has a ten percent (10%) or more beneficial interest
or as to which such first person or entity serves as trustee or in a similar

from the date each such cash disbursement is made until the date the party
incurring such cash disbursement shall have been indemnified in respect thereof,
and (2) reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable
