but in no event shall the Per Share Purchase Price be less than $15.00 per
share; and
WHEREAS, the Company will offer a minimum of 50 Units ($5,000,000) (the
"Minimum Offering") and a maximum of 70 Units ($7,000,000) (the "Maximum
Offering"), with an over-subscription option of 10 additional Units ($1,000,000)
subject to the mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent (as
defined below); and
WHEREAS, the Shares are entitled to registration rights on the terms
set forth in this Agreement; and

completed confidential investor questionnaire (the "Questionnaire").
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
I. SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS AND REPRESENTATIONS BY AND COVENANTS OF
SUBSCRIBER
1.1 SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the
Company such number of Units as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at a
price equal to $100,000 per Unit and the Company agrees to sell such Units to
the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company's right to sell to
the Subscriber such lesser number of Units as the Company may, in its sole
discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The purchase price is payable by
certified or bank check made payable to "American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company" as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") for the Company or by wire
transfer of funds, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall act as such in accordance with the terms and
conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into among the Placement
Agent, the Company and the Escrow Agent. Certificates representing the Shares
shall be delivered by the Company within five (5) business days following the
consummation of the Offering as set forth in Article III hereof.
1.2 RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering
has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") or any state agency because of the Company's representations that
this is intended to be a nonpublic offering exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and
state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that the Company is relying in
part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber's compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Shares.
1.3 INVESTMENT PURPOSE. The Subscriber represents that the Shares are being
purchased for its own account, for investment purposes only and not for
distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or
otherwise transfer the Shares unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or
unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.4 ACCREDITED INVESTOR. The Subscriber represents and warrants that
he/she/it ("it") is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, as indicated by its responses to
the Questionnaire, and that it is able to bear the economic risk of any
investment in the Shares. The Subscriber further represents and warrants that
the information furnished in the Questionnaire is accurate and complete in all
material respects.
1.5 RISK OF INVESTMENT. The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of
Shares involves a high degree of risk in that: (i) an investment in the Company
is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (ii)
transferability of the Shares is limited; and (iii) the Company will require
substantial additional funds to operate its business and there can be no
assurance that the Maximum Offering will be completed or that any other funds
will be available to the Company, in addition to all of the other risks set
forth in the Company's SEC Documents (as defined in Section 2.5 hereof).
1.6 INFORMATION. The Subscriber acknowledges careful review of: (a) the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, (b)

2001, (c) the Company's Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on July 25, 2001, (d) the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC on December 10, 2001, (e) the Confidential Investor Term Sheet dated

exhibits, schedules and appendices which are part of or referenced in any of the
aforementioned documents (the Investor Term Sheet and this Agreement,
collectively referred to herein as, the "Offering Documents"), and hereby
represents that: (i) the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the
course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which it
has requested; (ii) that the Subscriber has been afforded the
2
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized
officers of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and
any additional information which it has requested; and (iii) the Subscriber has
been given the opportunity by the Placement Agent to review the Agency Agreement
if it has so requested.
1.7 NO REPRESENTATIONS. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as
expressly set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties
have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or
affiliate of the Company, including the Placement Agent, and in entering into
this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than
that contained in the Offering Documents and the results of independent
investigation by the Subscriber.
1.8 TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering may
involve tax consequences and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not
contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must
retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences
of an investment in the Shares.
1.9 TRANSFER OR RESALE. The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the
"Rule") promulgated under the 1933 Act requires, among other conditions, a

requirements under the 1933 Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company
makes no representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of

the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber understands and hereby
acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares
comprising the Units under the 1933 Act, with the exception of certain
registration rights set forth in Article IV herein. The Subscriber consents that
the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Shares out of the
Subscriber's name only when the Subscriber's request for transfer is accompanied
by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the
sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the 1933 Act or any
applicable state "blue sky" laws.
1.10 PLACEMENT AGENT. The Subscriber agrees that neither the Placement Agent
or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Subscriber for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection
herewith, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence.

the Shares, until such time as they have been registered under the 1933 Act,

instruments):

Articles of Incorporation, any certificate of designations, preferences and
rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company, or the
Company's bylaws, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default or an event which
with notice
5
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, lease, license or instrument (including without limitation, any
document filed as an exhibit to any of the Company's SEC Documents (as defined
below)), or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations
and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq")
applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is
bound or affected).
2.5 SEC DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Since September 30, 2001, the

other that they do not intend to effect the closing of the Minimum Offering, a

agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent. The date of the last closing
of the Offering is hereinafter referred to as the "Final Closing" and the date

Agency Agreement a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Units sold.
The Company shall also reimburse the Placement Agent for its actual

subject to Section 3.5 hereof.
3.4 CERTIFICATES. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the Company,
upon each Closing in the Offering, to deliver the Shares to be issued to such
Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement either (a) to the Subscriber's address
indicated in the Questionnaire, or (b) directly to the Subscriber's account
maintained with the Placement Agent, if any.
3.5 RETURN OF FUNDS. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the
Company to return any funds for unaccepted subscriptions to the same account
from which the funds were drawn, including any customer account maintained with
the Placement Agent.
IV. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
4.1 AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION. The Company hereby agrees with the Subscribers
or their permitted transferees (other than a transferee who acquires shares
pursuant to the Rule or an effective registration statement) (collectively, the
"Holders") that no later than 45 days following the earlier of (a) the date of
the Final Closing or (b) two weeks following the date of the Initial Closing,
the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement under the 1933 Act
with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares, and the Company will use its
best efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 75 days after
the earlier of (a) the date of the Final Closing or (b) two weeks following the
date of the Initial Closing. In the event that the Company's registration
statement covering the resale of the Shares has not been declared effective by
the SEC within 75 day period set forth above, the Per Share Purchase Price shall
be
8
reduced by 5% for each month (or on a pro rata basis for any portion thereof)
thereafter until such time as the registration statement is effective; provided,
however, that the maximum reduction in the Per Share Purchase Price shall be
25%; and provided, further, that any day during which the SEC is closed due to
war, terrorism or national emergency shall be excluded from the calculation of
the delay period. The reduction in the Per Share Purchase Price shall be
evidenced by the issuance of additional Shares (the "Adjustment Shares") to the
Holders within five days following the effective date of the registration
statement. The Adjustment Shares shall be covered by the registration statement.
The Company's obligation to keep the registration statement effective shall
continue until the earlier of (a) the date that all of the Shares and Adjustment
Shares have been sold pursuant to the Rule under the 1933 Act or an effective
registration statement, or (b) such time as the Shares and Adjustment Shares are
eligible for immediate resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act. For
purposes of this Article IV, the term Shares shall be deemed to include the
Adjustment Shares.
4.2 "PIGGYBACK" REGISTRATION RIGHTS. At any time commencing after the Final
Closing, if the Company shall determine to proceed with the actual preparation
and filing of a registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the
proposed offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its security
holders (other than a registration statement on Form X-0, X-0 or other limited
purpose form), the Company will give written notice of its determination to all
record holders of the Shares. Upon the written request from any Holders (the
"Requesting Holders"), within 15 days after receipt of any such notice from the
Company, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all of the Shares
covered by such request (the "Requested Stock") held by the Requesting Holders
to be included in such registration statement, all to the extent requisite to
permit the sale or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the
Requested Stock; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prevent the
Company from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any registration. If any
registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be underwritten in whole or in
part, the Company may require that the Requested Stock be included in the
underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being
sold through the underwriters. In such event, the Requesting Holders shall, if
requested by the underwriters, execute an underwriting agreement containing
customary representations and warranties by selling shareholders and a lock-up
on Shares not being sold. If in the good faith judgment of the managing
underwriter of such public offering the inclusion of all of the Requested Stock
would reduce the number of shares to be offered by the Company or interfere with
the successful marketing of the shares of stock offered by the Company, the
number of shares of Requested Stock otherwise to be included in the underwritten
public offering may be reduced pro rata (by number of shares) among the
Requesting Holders or excluded in their entirety if so required by the
underwriter. To the extent only a portion of the Requested Stock is included in
the underwritten public offering, those shares of Requested Stock which are thus
excluded from the underwritten public offering and any other securities of the
Company held by such Holders shall be withheld from the market by the Holders
thereof for a period, not to exceed 90 days, which the managing underwriter
reasonably determines is necessary in order to effect the underwritten public
offering. The obligation of the Company under this Section 4.2 shall not apply
after the earlier of (a) the date that all of the Shares have been sold pursuant
to the Rule under the 1933 Act or an effective registration statement, or (b)
such time as the Shares are eligible for immediate resale pursuant to Rule
144(k) under the 1933 Act.
9
4.3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. To the extent required by Sections 4.1 or 4.2,
the Company will:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such securities, and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become and remain effective;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to such
registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained therein as
may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective;
(c) furnish to the Holders participating in such
registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such
reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such
securities;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such state securities or
blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders may reasonably request in
writing within 20 days following the original filing of such registration
statement, except that the Company shall not for any purpose be required to
execute a general consent to service of process or to qualify to do business as
a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;
(e) notify the Holders, promptly after it shall receive
notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become
effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration
statement has been filed;
(f) notify the Holders promptly of any request by the SEC
for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus
or for additional information;
(g) prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the
request of any Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration
statement or prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such
Holders (and concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required under the
1933 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the
distribution of Common Stock by such Holders;
(h) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly
notify such Holders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such
registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any
statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such
securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, any event shall have
occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as
then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and
(i) advise the Holders, promptly after it shall receive
notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC
suspending the effectiveness of
10
such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.
The Holders shall cooperate with the Company in providing the
information necessary to effect the registration of their Shares, including
completion of customary questionnaires.

(as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for such Holder and each person, if any, who
controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
from and against, and will reimburse such Holder and each such underwriter and
controlling person with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost
and expense to which such Holder or any such underwriter or controlling person
may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by 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 arise out of or are based upon 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 will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
by or on behalf of such Holder, such underwriter or such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(b) Each Holder included in a registration pursuant to
the provisions of Sections 4.1 or 4.2 hereof will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors and
11
officers, any controlling person and any underwriter from and against, and will
reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person and
any underwriter with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or
expense to which the Company or any controlling person and/or any underwriter
may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by 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 arise out of or are based upon 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information
furnished by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation
thereof; provided, that in no case shall the Holder be responsible for any
amount in excess of the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.5 of notice
of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing
indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph
(a) or (b), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof;
but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party,
provided, however, if counsel for the indemnifying party concludes that a single
counsel cannot under applicable legal and ethical considerations, represent both
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or
parties have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel as required by the
local rules of such jurisdiction) at any time for all such indemnified parties.
After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph
(a) or (b) for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
counsel in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after the notice of the commencement of the action or (iii) the
indemnifying party has, in its sole discretion, authorized the employment of
counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party.
