Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the 33 Act, as amended, and is able to bear
the economic risk of its purchase of the Common Stock for an indefinite
period of time because the Common Stock is being issued and sold under
exemptions from registration provisions of the 33 Act and under applicable
state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently
registered under the 33 Act or applicable state securities laws or an
exemption from such registrations is available.
9
(b) Purchaser acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock have not
been registered under the 33 Act, or qualified under the laws of any state,
or any other applicable blue-sky laws in reliance, in part, on the
representations and warranties herein. Purchaser understands that the
Common Stock is being offered pursuant to the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) and 4(6) of the 33 Act, as amended. Purchaser is

of all or any of shares of the Common Stock. No other person will have any
direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Common Stock.
(c) Purchaser understands that the Common Stock is, and will be,
"Restricted Securities" under the federal securities laws in that such
shares of Common Stock will be acquired from the Company in a transaction
not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such Common Stock may be resold without registration under the
Act only in certain limited circumstances and that otherwise such Common
Stock must be held indefinitely. In this connection, Purchaser represents
that Purchaser understand the resale limitations imposed by the 33 Act and
is familiar with Rule 144 of the 33 Act, as presently in effect, and the
condition which must be meet in order for that rule to be available for
resale of "Restricted Securities," including the requirement that the
Purchaser Shares must be held for at least one year after purchase thereof
from the Company prior to resale (two years in the absence of publicly
available information about the Company) and the condition that there be
available to the public current information about the Company under certain
circumstances.

the transactions contemplated herein, the Purchaser and its representatives have
been afforded access to the Company's corporate books, financial statements and
records, have been afforded an opportunity to ask such questions of the

TERMINATION
9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing:
(a) by mutual consent of the Company and a majority in interest of the
Purchasers;
(b) by either the Company or the majority in interest of the
Purchasers if the Closing shall not have occurred by February 10, 2005;
provided, however, that the failure to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby is not a result of the failure by the party so electing
to terminate this Agreement to perform any of its obligations hereunder.
(c) By a majority in interest of the Purchasers at any time an event
of default exists without any liability or payment to the Company. However,
if pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company
commences a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding against the
Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or
substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (any of which would be an
Event of Default as described in Sections 8(f) and 8(g) hereof) this
Agreement shall automatically terminate without any liability or payment to
the Company without further action or notice by any Person.
13
(d) This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date that the
Company sells and the Purchaser completes the purchase of the Purchase
Shares and Additional Shares, as provided herein, without any action or
notice on the part of any party.
9.2 Except as set forth in Section 9.1 (in respect of an Event of Default
under Sections 8(f) and 8(g) and 9.1(d)), any termination of this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be effected by written notice from the
Company to the Purchasers, or the Purchasers to the Company, as the case may be,
setting forth the basis for the termination hereof. The representations and
warranties of the Company and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the
indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.1 hereof and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Section 10, shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE X

Agreement.
10.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or

Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
10.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement supersedes
all other prior oral or written agreements between the Purchaser, the Company,
their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement contain the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as
specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Purchaser
makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such
matters. Except as herein provided, this Agreement may be modified or amended
only by a writing signed by the Company and by a majority in interest of the
Purchasers.
10.4 Understanding Among the Purchasers. The determination of each
Purchaser to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement has been made
by such Purchaser independent of any other Purchaser and independent of any
statements or opinions as to the advisability of such purchase or as to the
properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company and its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other
Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser. In addition, it is
acknowledged by each of the other Purchasers that no other Purchaser has acted
as an agent of such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder
and that no other person shall be acting as an agent of such Purchaser in
connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.
14
10.5 Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement or any Related
Document shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when
delivered personally to the recipient, sent to the recipient by reputable
express courier service (charges prepaid), mailed to the recipient by certified
or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or sent by
telecommunications facsimile. Such notices, demands and other communications
shall be sent to the Company and the Purchasers at the addresses (or facsimile
numbers) set forth on Schedule I hereto or to such other address (or facsimile
number) or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has
specified by prior written notice to the sending party.
10.6 No Assignment. The Purchasers shall not assign this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Company.
10.7 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person.
10.8 Publicity. The Purchasers shall have the right to approve before
issuance any press releases or any other public disclosure (including any
filings with the SEC) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior

(including any filings with the SEC) with respect to such transactions as is

done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and

the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the

10.11 Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The
Purchaser's remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other remedies available to the Purchaser under this Agreement,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief), no remedy of the Purchaser contained herein shall be deemed
a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and
nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for
any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Purchaser and that the remedy at law for any such breach
may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened breach, the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the
necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
15

or other legal proceeding between any of the parties hereto, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover court costs, necessary disbursements
(including expert witnesses' fees) and reasonable attorneys' fees, in addition
to any other relief such party may be entitled.
10.13 Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay in the exercise
of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege.
10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws of the
State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the
Company and its shareholders, including without limitation all questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum
or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and
notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any
right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
10.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical

signature.
