of this Agreement (the "Investor").
The parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock
------------------------------------
Section I.1 Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock. Upon the following terms
------------------------------------
and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Investor shares of the
Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Shares") having the rights,

-----------
(a) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the "Closing"),
shall take place at the offices of the Company, at 10:00 a.m., local time on the
later of the following: (i) the date on which the last to be fulfilled or waived
of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to the Closing
shall be fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith, or (ii) such other time and
place and/or on such other date as the Investor and the Company may agree. The
date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."
There shall be one closing date for all Shares initially issued to Investors.
(b) On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue and countersign, or
cause to be issued and countersigned by its transfer agent, for delivery upon
the order of the Investor certificates representing the number of Shares being
purchased by the Investor, registered in the name of the Investor, or deposit
such Shares into accounts designated by the Investor, and the Investor shall
deliver to the Company the Purchase Price for such Shares by cashier's check or
wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account as shall be
designated in writing by the Company. In addition, each party shall deliver all
documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by such party
pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing.
Section I.4 Covenant to Register.
--------------------
(a) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to
a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the
Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
statement or amendment thereto.
(ii) The term "Registrable Securities" means (A) the shares of
common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares, or (B) any
securities of the Company or securities of any successor corporation issued
pursuant to the provisions of Schedule I hereto or issuable upon the conversion
or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as a dividend
or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of
the Shares, which in either case (i) have not been resold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act or
(ii) may not be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act. For purposes of
this Agreement, securities will be considered ineligible for resale pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Act unless the Company's transfer agent has accepted an
instruction from the Company specifying that such securities are eligible for
sale pursuant to Rule 144(k).
(iii) The term "holder of Registrable Securities" includes any
person who holds Shares which are convertible into Registrable Securities.
(b) (i) The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following the
Closing, file a registration statement on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then
available, another appropriate form, covering the resale of all the Registrable
Securities under Rule 415 and, to the extent applicable, Rule 416. The number
of shares of Common Stock initially included in such registration statement
shall be not less than the number which would be issuable upon conversion of the
Shares including Shares subject to the Placement Agents' warrants if all thereof
were to be converted at a conversion price equal to the market price of the
Common Stock on the date the registration statement is filed. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective by April 1, 1998 (the "Initial Registration"). In the event
such registration is not so declared effective or if at any time thereafter it
does not include at least 100% of the number of Registrable Securities which
would then be issuable upon conversion of the Shares (or any successor security)
at the conversion price then in effect, any holder of Registrable Securities
shall have the right to require by notice in writing that the Company register
all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such holder (a "Demand
Registration") and the Company shall thereupon effect such registration in
accordance herewith (which may include adding such shares to an existing shelf
registration). The parties agree that if the holder of Registrable Securities
demands registration of less than all of the Registrable Securities, the
Company, at its option, may nevertheless file a registration statement covering
all of the Registrable Securities. If such registration statement is declared
effective with respect to all Registrable Securities, then so long as the
Company is in compliance with its obligations under Subsection (d)(i) through
(v) hereof, the demand registration rights granted pursuant to this Subsection
(b) (i) shall not be applicable. The Company shall provide holders of
Registrable Securities a reasonable opportunity, but not in excess of 5 days, to
review any such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto prior
to the filing thereof. If the Registrable Securities are registered initially on
a form other than Form S-3, the Company shall register the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 as soon as use of such form is permissible.
(ii) The Company shall not be obligated to effect Demand
Registration under Subsection (b)(i) if (1) all of the Registrable Securities
held by the holder of Registrable Securities which are demanded to be covered by
the Demand Registration are, at the time of such demand, included in an
effective registration statement and the Company is in compliance with its
obligations under Subsection (d) (i) through (v) hereof, or (2) such holder is
not in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, including without
limitation Section 3.6 hereof.
(iii) The Company may suspend the effectiveness of any such
registration effected pursuant to this Subsection (b) in the event, and for such
period of time as, such a suspension is required by the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and may suspend use of the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement if such prospectus ceases to
meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Act. The Company will immediately
advise the holders of the registered securities of any such suspension, and will
use its best efforts to cause such suspension to terminate at the earliest
possible date. The Investor agrees that following receipt of any such notice,
and until such suspension is terminated, the Investor will not make use of the
suspended prospectus and will make no sales requiring delivery of such
prospectus.
(iv) If the registration statement covering all Registrable
Securities is not effective by April 1, 1998, the Company shall pay the Investor
in cash an amount equal to 3% of the Purchase Price of the Shares then held by
the Investor for each 30 day period thereafter until such registration statement
is effective (pro-rata as to a period of less than 30 days). An amount equal to
0.1% of the total Purchase Price of Shares and any Registrable Securities then
held by Investor shall also be paid to the Investor in cash with respect to each
day in excess of 30 days in any calendar year that the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or use of the prospectus is suspended as set forth in
Section 1.4 (b)(iii) or the prospectus is otherwise unavailable for use by
sellers of Registrable Securities including, without limitation, pursuant to
Section 1.4(b)(v). Any payment hereunder shall be made not later than five
business days after the end of the period with respect to which such payment is
due. The "Purchase Price" of Registrable Securities shall be, in the case of
Registrable Securities derived from conversion or substitution of Shares, the
Purchase Price of such Shares. This subsection is in addition to the provisions
of Section 7.2(a) hereof.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 1.4(b)(i), subject to the
Investor's rights to receive payments under Section 1.4(b)(iv), if the Board of
Directors of the Company, in its good faith judgment, determines that any
registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because
it would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition,
corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the
Company or any of its subsidiaries (a "Valid-----Business Reason"), (x) the
---------------------------
Company may postpone filing a registration statement relating to the Registrable
Securities until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event
for more than three months, and (y) in case a registration statement has been
filed relating to the Registrable Securities, the Company may cause such
registration statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may
postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement until such Valid
Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than three months
(such period of postponement or withdrawal under sub clause (x) or (y) of this
Section 1.4(b)(v), the "Postponement Period"); and the Company shall give the
---------------------
Investor written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw the
registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such
postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the
occurrence thereof provided, however, that any such postponement or withdrawal
shall be subject to the payment by the Company of the payments provided for in
Section 1.4(b)(iv) hereof.
The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
that the Company has determined to withdraw any registration statement pursuant
to clause (y) above, the Investor will discontinue any disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement and, if so
directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in the Investor's possession
of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the
time of receipt of such notice.
2
If the Company shall give any notice of withdrawal or postponement of a
registration statement, the Company shall, at such time as the Valid Business
Reason that caused such withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but in no
event later than three months after the date of the postponement or withdrawal),
use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of
Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or postponed registration
statement.
(c) If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Investor)
any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with a public
offering of such securities (other than a registration on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or
other limited purpose form) and all Registrable Securities have not theretofore
been included in a registration statement under Subsection (b) which remains
effective, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give all holders of
Registrable Securities written notice of such registration. Upon the written
request of any holder of Registrable Securities given within twenty (20) days
after receipt of such notice by the holder of Registrable Securities, the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be registered under
the Act all Registrable Securities that such holder of Registrable Securities
requests to be registered. However, the Company shall have no obligation under
this Subsection (c) to the extent that, with respect to registration of a public
offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter of such public
offering reasonably notifies such holder(s) in writing of its determination that
the Registrable Securities or a portion thereof should be excluded therefrom.
The rights of the Investor and the obligations of the Company under this
subsection are subject to any prior registration rights of other shareholders of
the Company which are disclosed in Exhibit A hereto.
(d) Whenever required under this Section to effect the registration of
any Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, the Initial
Registration, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration to become effective as provided in Section 1.4(b)(i), and keep such
registration statement effective for so long as any holder of Registrable
Securities desires to dispose of the securities covered by such registration
statement, or, if earlier, until such Registrable Securities may be sold under
Rule 144(k) (provided that the Company's transfer agent has accepted an
instruction from the Company to such effect).
(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement and notify the holders of the filing and effectiveness of
such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements.
(iii) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities such numbers
of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the requirements of the Act,
copies of the registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and
any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such
holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably require in order to facilitate
the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such holder of Registrable
Securities.
(iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by a holder of
Registrable Securities and keep such registration or qualification effective as
long as required to permit sale of Registrable Securities thereunder, provided
that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(v) Notify each holder of Registrable Securities immediately of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and use its reasonable best efforts to promptly
update and/or correct such prospectus.
(vi) Furnish at the request of any holder of Registrable Securities
included therein (1) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective
date of the registration statement, covering compliance of the registration
statement, as to form, with the requirements of the Act and the rules
thereunder, and covering the matters covered in the opinion filed as an exhibit
to the registration statement, and (2) a letter or letters of the Company's
independent public accountants in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
such holder.
(vii) Use its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement with any national market or securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed.
(viii) Make available for inspection by the holder of Registrable
Securities, upon
3
request, all SEC Documents (as defined below) filed subsequent to the Closing
and require the Company's representatives to supply all information reasonably
requested by any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration statement.
(e) Each holder of Registrable Securities will furnish to the Company in
connection with any registration under this Section such information regarding
itself, the Registrable Securities and other securities of the Company held by
it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be
reasonably required to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
held by such holder of Registrable Securities. The Investor shall provide such
data as of Closing. The intended method of disposition (Plan of Distribution) of
such securities as so provided by Investor shall be included without alteration
in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall not
be changed without written consent of the Investor.
(f) (i) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each
holder of Registrable Securities which are included in a registration statement
pursuant to the provisions of Subsections (b) or (c) (each, a "Selling
Shareholder") and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners
or controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, an "indemnified
party") from and against, and shall reimburse such indemnified party with
respect to, any and all claims, suits, demands, causes of action, losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses ("Liabilities") to which such
indemnified party may become subject under the Act or otherwise, arising from or
relating to (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
--------
in any such case to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or omission so made in conformity with information
furnished by such indemnified party in writing specifically for use in the
registration statement; provided further, that the Company shall not be
----------------
liable in any such case to the extent that any such Liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) a Selling
Shareholder under an obligation to send or deliver a copy of the prospectus with
or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of Registrable
Securities to the person asserting such Liability who purchased such Registrable
Securities which are the subject thereof from such Selling Shareholder failed to
do so and (ii) the prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or
omission; and provided further, that the Company shall not be liable in any
----------------
such case to the extent that any Liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in
the prospectus, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission
or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus
and if, having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with
copies of the prospectuses so amended or supplemented and having been obligated
to deliver such prospectuses, the Selling Shareholder thereafter failed to
deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, prior to or concurrently
with the sale of Registrable Securities to the person asserting such Liability
who purchased such Registrable Securities which are the subject thereof from
such Selling Shareholder.
(ii) In the event of any registration under the Act of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), each holder of such Registrable
Securities hereby severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, or
controlling persons (within the meaning of the Act) (each, an "indemnified
party") from and against, and shall reimburse such indemnified party with
respect to, any and all Liabilities to which such indemnified party may become
subject under the Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
provided, that such holders will be liable in any such case to the
--------
extent, and only to the extent, that any such Liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished in an instrument duly executed by such holder specifically for use in
the registration statement.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against another party (the "indemnifying party")
hereunder, notify such party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any Liability which it may have to
the indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it
from any Liability which it may have to the indemnified party under this section
if and to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such omission. In case any
such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified
party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to the indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified
party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in
4
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of liaison with
counsel so selected, provided, however, that if the defendants in any such
--------
action include both the indemnifying party and such indemnified party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying
party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel
and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with (subject to the following sentence) the reasonable expenses
and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. If the
Company is the indemnifying party it shall pay the reasonable expenses and fees
of only one separate counsel whose selection is approved by the largest group of
similarly situated indemnified parties as measured by the aggregate par value of
such Registrable Securities owned by such group. Any indemnified party who
chooses not to be represented by the foregoing separate counsel shall be
entitled, at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its own selection.
(g) (i) With respect to the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), all fees, costs and
expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public offering
shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that any Selling Shareholders
participating in such registration shall bear their own share of the
underwriting discounts and commissions, and transfer taxes if any, incurred by
them in connection with such registration.
(ii) The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne by the
Company as provided in this Subsection (g) shall include, without limitation,
all registration, filing and New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") fees, printing
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, and
all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state
securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which
securities to be offered are to be registered and qualified. Subject to
appropriate agreements as to confidentiality, and upon reasonable advance notice
from the holder or its counsel, the Company shall make available to counsel for
the holders of Registrable Securities such documents and personnel as may be
required to permit reasonable due diligence. Fees and disbursements of counsel
and accountants for the Selling Shareholders shall be borne by the respective
Selling Shareholders. Nothing herein shall require the Company to postpone
filing the registration statement or delay its effectiveness.
(h) Subject to Section 2.2(d), the rights to cause the Company to
register all or any portion of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section
may be assigned by Investor to a transferee or assignee of at least 1,000 Shares
or the entire amount held by the Investor (subject to adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalizations) or the Registrable
Securities derived from such Shares. Any transferee asserting registration
rights hereunder shall agree to be bound by the applicable provisions of this
Agreement.
(i) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not
agree to allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of
their securities in any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to
Subsection (b) unless such inclusion will not reduce the amount of the
Registrable Securities included therein.

delivered by the Company, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes a valid and

relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists
--------------
of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock;

become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or
options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, or commitments to purchase or
acquire, any shares, or securities or rights convertible into shares, of capital

Shares, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to
any preemptive rights or adverse claims, and the holders shall be entitled to
all rights and preferences accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
------------
Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation
of the Company's Charter or By-Laws or (ii) 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 of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument
to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result in a
violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order,

applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for
such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations
and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect); provided that, for purposes of such
representation as to Federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation,
no representation is made herein with respect to any of the same applicable
solely to the Investor and not to the Company. The business of the Company is
not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulations of any
governmental entity, except for violations which either singly or in the
aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company is not required under Federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation in the United States to obtain any consent, authorization or order

terms of the Shares with the Delaware Secretary of State) or registration with,
any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform
any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof (other than any SEC, NYSE or state securities
filings which may be required to be made by the Company and any registration
statement which may be filed pursuant hereto); provided that, for purposes of
the representation made in this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying
upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Investor
herein. The Investor will not, solely as a result of the conversion of the
Shares, become an "Acquiring Person" under the Company's shareholder rights
plan, provided that the Investor complies with the provisions of this Agreement
and Schedule I.
(f) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of the
-----------------------------------
Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and, except as set forth on Exhibit A,
the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d), in addition to one or more registration statements and
amendments thereto heretofore filed by the Company with the SEC (all of the

herein as the "SEC Documents"). The Company has delivered or made available to
the Investor true and complete copies of the quarterly and annual (including,
without limitation, proxy information and solicitation materials) SEC Documents
filed with the SEC since April 30, 1997. The Company has not provided to the
Investor any information which, according to applicable law, rule or regulation,
should have been disclosed publicly by the Company but which
6
has not been so disclosed, other than with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder except as set forth
on Exhibit A and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
applicable to such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents 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, except as
set forth on Exhibit A. The financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or
other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto, except as set forth
on Exhibit A,. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or

----------------------------------------------
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company:
(a) Authorization, Enforcement. (i) Such Investor has the requisite
--------------------------
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the
Shares being sold hereunder, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Investor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership
action, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
------------
Agreement and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Investor's charter
documents or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or
7
governmental agency applicable to Investor. The business of the Investor is not
being conducted in violation of any law or regulation of any governmental
entity, except for possible violations which either singly or in the aggregate
would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Investor's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.. The
Investor is not required to obtain any consent or authorization of any
governmental agency in order for it to perform its obligations under this
Agreement. The data to be provided by the Investor in connection with
registering the Registrable Securities under the Act will be true and correct in
all material respects.
(c) Investment Representation. The Investor is purchasing the Shares
-------------------------
for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution otherwise
than in compliance with the Act. Investor has no present intention to sell the
Shares and Investor has no present arrangement (whether or not legally binding)
to sell the Shares to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that
by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree to hold the
Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose
of the Shares at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws
applicable to such disposition.
(d) Transfer Restriction. The Investor shall not, directly or
--------------------
indirectly sell, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of
(collectively, "Transfer") or permit any Transfer to occur, or enter into any
contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the
Transfer of, any Shares, except as permitted by the following sentence. With the
prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Investor shall be permitted to Transfer Shares to a Person that
assumes all of the Investor's obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a
written instrument in the form attached as an Exhibit to this Agreement. If
Investor makes written application to the Company for such consent, designating
the name and address of the proposed transferee, and undertaking to obtain from
such transferee an instrument of assumption in the form attached as an Exhibit
to this Agreement, the Company shall state its consent or refusal to consent to
such transfer, in writing, not later than 2 business days after receipt of such
application by the Company. If the Company fails to respond within 2 business
days, Investor shall be free to proceed with the proposed transfer but shall
nevertheless obtain an instrument of assumption from the transferee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Company's
consent to a transfer shall not be required if the Registrable Securities of the
Investor are not covered by an effective registration statement under which a
current prospectus is available. An Investor may transfer the lesser of (i) all
the Shares held by the Investor, or (ii) 1,000 shares, without the consent of
the Company, but shall obtain from the transferee an instrument of assumption in
the form attached as an Exhibit to this Agreement.
(e) Accredited Investor. The Investor is an accredited investor as
-------------------
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Act. The Investor has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters in general, and investments in
particular, so that the Investor is able to evaluate the merits and risks of an
investment in the Shares and to protect its own interests in connection with
such investment. In addition (but without limiting the effect of the Company's
representations and warranties contained herein), the Investor has received such
information as it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Shares pursuant hereto. The Investor acknowledges that no
representation or warranty is made by the Placement Agents or any persons
representing the Placement Agents with respect to the Company or sale of the
Shares.
(f) Rule 144. The Investor understands that there is no public trading
--------
market for the Shares, that none is expected to develop, and that the Shares
must be held indefinitely unless such Shares or securities into which the Shares
are converted are registered under the Act or an exemption from registration is
available. The Investor has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule
144 promulgated under the Act.

or more of the Common Stock of the Company. The provisions of this Section
cannot be amended.
Section III.6 Hedging Restrictions. Investor and its affiliates agree not to
--------------------
engage in any short sales, swaps, purchasing of puts, or other hedging
activities that involve the direct or indirect use of the Common Stock to hedge
its investment in the Shares, but the Investor may write call options if the
call exercise price is greater than the lesser of the effective Conversion Price
on the day that the call is written or the closing price of the Common Stock on
the day prior to the day that the call is written. This Section shall not apply
to transactions not solicited or directed by Investor and in which Investor has
no beneficial interest made on behalf of third-party clients who are not holders
of Shares. This Section shall not apply to short sales made within 3 days of
Conversion of Shares in amounts not greater than the number of shares issuable
upon conversion, if the shares issuable upon conversion are used to cover the
