2. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. As of the date of
Closing, the Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) The Investor is acquiring its Note and will acquire its Warrant
for the Investor's own account, not as nominee or agent, for investment and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public
offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). By executing this Agreement, the
2
Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract,
undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participation to any such person or to any third person, with respect to the
Securities.
(b) The Investor understands that (i) the Securities have not been
registered under either the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state
of the United States by reason of specific exemptions therefrom, (ii) the
Securities must be held by the Investor indefinitely, and, therefore, the
Investor must bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a
subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act and the
securities laws of any applicable state or is exempt from such registrations;
(iii) each certificate that represents the Securities will be endorsed with
legends as required by applicable securities laws; and (iv) the Company will
instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of any of the
Securities unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are
satisfied. For greater certainty, the restrictive legend referred to in clause
(iii) shall be substantially in the following form:
THIS SECURITY (A) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE, AND IS BEING OFFERED AND SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS, AND (B)
MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE BORROWER THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) The Investor has been furnished with such materials and has been
given access to such information relating to the Company as the Investor has
requested. The Investor has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions
regarding the Company and the Securities as the Investor has found necessary to
make an informed investment decision. The Investor has been solely responsible
for his own due diligence investigation of the Company and its business, for his
own analysis of the merits and risks of its investment made pursuant to this
Agreement and for his own analysis of the terms of its investment.
(d) The Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The Investor is in a financial position to
hold the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a
complete loss of the Investor's investment in the Securities. The Investor
recognizes that the Securities involve a high degree of risk. The Investor is a
sophisticated investor, is able to fend for himself in the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities.
(e) This Agreement when duly executed and delivered by the Investor,
will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable
against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except, in each case, as such
enforceability may be limited by
3
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(f) During the period the Investor holds the Note, neither the
Investor nor any person acting on his behalf (i) has the intention of entering,
or will enter into, any put option, short position or other similar instrument
or position with respect to the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise
of the Warrant or (ii) will use shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon
exercise of the Warrant to settle any put option, short position or other
similar instrument or position that may have been entered into prior to the
execution of this Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Subsidiary.
The Company and the Subsidiary represent and warrant to the Investor as follows:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company and the
Subsidiary are corporations duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and have all requisite
corporate authority to own, lease and operate their respective properties and
assets and to carry on their respective businesses as now being conducted. Each
of the Company and the Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, a "Material Adverse Effect"
shall mean any adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or
financial condition of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company
and the Subsidiary, taken as a whole, and/or any condition, circumstance, or
situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability
of the Company or the Subsidiary to perform any of their material obligations
under this Agreement or the Securities.
(b) Authorization, Enforcement. (i) The Company and the Subsidiary
each has the requisite corporate power and corporate authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Securities, pursuant to
their respective terms, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Securities by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, the
Subsidiary or their respective Board of Directors or the Company's stockholders
is required, and (iii) each of this Agreement, the Note, and the Warrant when
executed and delivered by the Company will constitute a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms, except, in each case, as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(c) Company Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 30,354,980
shares are issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.001 per share, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. All of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common
4
Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable and were issued in accordance with the registration or
qualification provisions of the Securities Act and any relevant state securities
laws or pursuant to valid exemptions therefrom. Except as set forth in this
Agreement and as set forth in the SEC Documents and the attached Schedule 3(c),
no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or registration
rights and there are no outstanding options, warrant, scrip, rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities
or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company.
Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in the SEC
Documents and the attached Schedule 3(c), there are no contracts, commitments,
understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to
issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options,
securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company.
The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the offer and sale of all
capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options of the
Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable federal and
state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or damages
with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
filed as exhibits to the SEC Documents true and correct copies of the Company's
articles or certificate of incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the
"Charter"), and the Company's bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the
"Bylaws"). The Company has not received any notice from the AMEX questioning or
threatening the continued inclusion of the Common Stock on such market.
(d) Issuance of Securities. The Note and the Warrant (and the shares
of Common Stock underlying such Warrant) to be issued under this Agreement have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for and
issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the Common Stock issued on
exercise of the Warrant shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Company and the Subsidiary and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of the Company's or the Subsidiary's Charter or Bylaws, (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 agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company or the Subsidiary is a party, (iii) create or impose a
lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company or the Subsidiary
under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company or the Subsidiary is
a party or by which the Company or the Subsidiary is bound or by which any of
its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of
any federal, state, or local statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including any federal or state securities laws and regulations)
applicable to the Company, the Subsidiary or any of their respective
subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company, the Subsidiary or
any of their respective subsidiaries are bound or affected. To the knowledge of
the Company and the Subsidiary, the business of the Company, the Subsidiary and
their respective subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any laws,
ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity,
5
except for possible violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and
will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and the Subsidiary are not
required under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any
consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court or governmental agency in order for them to execute, deliver or perform
any of their obligations under this Agreement, or for the Company to issue and
sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings
which may be required to be made by the Company with the SEC or state securities
administrators subsequent to the Closing and any registration statement which
may be filed pursuant hereto); provided that, for purpose of the representation
made in this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of
the relevant representations and agreements of each Investor herein.
(f) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock is
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and, except as disclosed
in the SEC Documents or in Schedule 3(f), the Company has timely filed all
reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed
by it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including material filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing
including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as
the "SEC Documents"). The Company has directed the Investor to accurate and
readily accessible sources of true and correct copies of the SEC Documents. As
of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as
applicable, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
applicable to such documents, and, as of their respective filing dates, 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. The financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements under the United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, as those conventions, rules and procedures are determined by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("GAAP"), and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect
thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
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 summary statements), and fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the Company and the Subsidiary as of
the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments).
(g) Disclosure. The Company and the Subsidiary have each provided the
Investor with all the information that the Investor has requested for deciding
whether to purchase the Note and the Warrant. To the best of the Company's or
the Subsidiary's knowledge, none of this Agreement, other agreements, written
statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith and the SEC
Documents, when taken in the aggregate, as of the date of the Closing contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

4. Miscellaneous.
(a) Security. (i) The Note shall be secured by both (A) a general
security interest under a security agreement (the "Security Agreement"), dated
as of June 17, 2002, between the Subsidiary, as assignor of the security
interest and Alligator Holdings, Inc., as collateral agent for the Investor, and
(B) a general security interest under a subordinated security agreement (the
"Subordinated Security Agreement"), dated as of June 17, 2002, between the
Company, as assignor of the security interest and Alligator Holdings, Inc., as
collateral agent for the Investor, with such security granted for the benefit of
the Investor as holder of the Note. Reference is hereby made to both the
Security Agreement and the Subordinated Security Agreement for a statement of
the rights and obligations of the Investor, and the nature and extent of the
security for, the Note.
(ii) Any lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or claim of
the Investor on any Company Collateral or any proceeds or revenues
therefrom which the Investor may have at any time as security for any of
the Note shall be, and hereby are, subordinated to all liens, security
interests, or encumbrances now or hereafter granted to the Secured
Creditors under the Company Senior Security Agreement by the Company or any
other person or by law, notwithstanding the date or order of attachment or
perfection of any such lien, security interest, encumbrance or claim or
charge or the provision of any applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security
Agreement shall at any time determine to release their lien on any Company
Collateral for the purpose of enabling the Company or any other person to
dispose of such assets, the Investor under the Subordinated Security
Agreement hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
below, to simultaneously release any lien granted therein as security for
the Note. Upon the request of and at the expense of the Secured Creditors
under the Company Senior Security Agreement (or any agent or other person
acting on their behalf), the Investor under the Subordinated Security
Agreement shall execute and deliver any releases and other documents and
agreements that the Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security
Agreement (or such agent or other person) in their reasonable discretion
deem necessary to dispose of the Company Collateral for the benefit of the
Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security Agreement in accordance
with the terms and provisions thereof free of the interest in same of the
Investor under the Subordinated Security Agreement. The Investor under the
8
Subordinated Security Agreement retains all of his rights as a junior
secured creditor with respect to the surplus proceeds of the Company
Collateral or undisposed-of Company Collateral, if any, arising from sale
or other disposition of the Company Collateral for the benefit of the
Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security Agreement.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall the Collateral Agent nor the Investor initiate any judicial
proceeding or other action which results or is intended to result in the
foreclosure, realization upon, levy upon, or a liquidation of any of the
Company Collateral, including without limitation, the exercise of any
rights or remedies of a "secured party" under the Subordinated Security
Agreement or under Article 9 of the UCC, unless and until such time as all
of the Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security Agreement shall
have been paid in full in cash, and in the event that the Collateral Agent
or the Investor shall have received any Company Collateral or the proceeds
thereof in respect of the obligations under the Subordinated Agreement as a
result of any violation of this Section 4(a)(iii), then in such event, such
Company Collateral or proceeds thereof shall be held in trust for the
Secured Creditors under the Company Senior Security Agreement and paid over
and delivered forthwith to the agent for the Secured Creditors under the
Company Senior Security Agreement in the form held (together with any
necessary endorsements) for application to the Company's obligations under
the Company Senior Security Agreement.
(b) Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay all of its own fees and
expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition

any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing
to it thereafter.
(g) Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this

in the event that any court shall determine that any one or more of the
provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any
reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
or part of a provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be reformed
and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part
of such provision,
10
had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal
and enforceable to the maximum extent possible, so long as such construction
does not materially adversely effect the economic rights of either party hereto.
