provided that such termination shall have no effect on the parties' (other
rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights

Date, and shall have semi-annual reset provisions. Each Purchase Warrant shall

any Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement, any Supplemental
Registration Statement, or amendments or supplements thereto or any blue sky,

conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the
accuracy of the Registration Statement.
2.6.1 Treatment of Nonpublic Information. The Company shall
not disclose nonpublic information to the Investor or to its advisors or
representatives unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company
identifies such information as being nonpublic information and provides the
Investor and such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept
or refuse to accept such nonpublic information for review. The Company may, as
as a condition to disclosing any nonpublic information hereunder,
require the Investor and its advisors and representatives to enter into
a confidentiality agreement (including an agreement with such advisors
and representatives prohibiting them from trading in Common Stock during such
period of time as they are in possession of nonpublic information) in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investor.
Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose nonpublic
information to the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the
Company represents that it does not disseminate nonpublic information to any
investors who purchase stock in the Company in a public offering, to money
managers or to securities analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided,
immediately notify the advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if
any, underwriters, of any event or the existence of any circumstance (without
any obligation to disclose the specific event or circumstance) of which it
becomes aware, constituting nonpublic information (whether or not requested of
the Company specifically or generally during the course of due diligence by and
such persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the Prospectus included
in the Registration Statement, would cause such Prospectus to include a
material misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 shall be
construed to mean that such persons or entities other than the Investor
(without the written consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such
information) may not obtain nonpublic information in the course of conducting
due diligence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Investor's advisors or representatives
disclose to the Investor the nature of the specific event or circumstances
constituting any nonpublic information discovered by such advisors or
representatives in the course of their due diligence without the written
consent of the Investor prior to disclosure of such information.
2.6.2 Disclosure of Misstatements and Omissions. The
Investor's advisors or representatives shall make complete disclosure to the

information discovered by such advisors or representatives in the course of
their due diligence upon which such advisors or representatives form the
opinion
Planet America (Final Amended and Restated) Inv. Agreement 17
18
that the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits a material fact required to be stated in the Registration
Statement or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Upon receipt of
such disclosure, the Investor's counsel shall consult with the Company's
independent counsel in order to address the concern raised as to the
existence of a material misstatement or omission and to discuss appropriate
disclosure with respect thereto; provided, however, that such consultation
shall not constitute the advice of the Company's independent counsel to the
Investor as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement and related
Prospectus.
2.6.3 Procedure if Material Facts are Reasonably Believed to be
Untrue or are Omitted. In the event after such consultation the Investor
or the Investor's counsel reasonably believes that the Registration
Statement contains an untrue statement or a material fact or omits a
material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or
necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
(a) the Company shall file with the SEC an
amendment to the Registration Statement responsive to such alleged untrue
statement or omission and provide the Investor, as promptly as practicable,
with copies of the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, as so
amended, or
(b) if the Company disputes the existence
of any such material misstatement or omission, (i) the Company's independent
counsel shall provide the Investor's counsel with a Registration Opinion and
(ii) in the event the dispute relates to the adequacy of financial
disclosure and the Investor shall reasonably request, the Company's
independent auditors shall provide to the Company a letter ("Agreed Upon
Procedures Report") outlining the performance of such "agreed upon
procedures" as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor and the Company
shall provide the Investor with a copy of such letter.
2.7 Commitment Payments. In partial consideration hereof,

Warrants") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit U, or such other form as
agreed upon by the parties, to purchase 490,000 shares of Common Stock. The
Commitment Warrants shall be exercisable at a price (the "Commitment
Warrant Exercise Price") which shall initially equal the weighted average
price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding May 24, 1999
("Initial Exercise Price"), and shall have reset provisions. Each
Commitment Warrant shall be immediately exercisable at the Commitment
Warrant Exercise Price, and shall have a term beginning on the date of issuance
and ending on date that is five (5) years thereafter. The Warrant Shares
shall be registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement. Concurrently with the issuance and delivery of the Commitment
Warrant to the Subscriber, the Company shall deliver to the Subscriber a
Commitment Warrant Opinion of Counsel (signed by the Company's independent
counsel).
On the last Business Day of each Twelve (12) Calendar Month period
following the date of this Agreement (each such period a "Commitment
Evaluation Period"), if the Company has not Put at least $2,000,000 in
aggregate Put Dollar Amount during that Commitment Evaluation Period, the
Company, in consideration of Investor's commitment costs, including, but not
limited to, due diligence expenses, shall pay to the Investor an amount (the
"Annual Non-Usage Fee ") equal to the difference of (i) $200,000, minus (ii)
10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put to Investor during
that Commitment Evaluation Period. In the event that the Company delivers
a Termination Notice to the Investor or an Automatic Termination occurs, the
Company shall pay to the Investor (the "Termination Fee") the greater of (i)
the Annual Non-Usage Fee for the applicable Commitment Evaluation Period, or
(ii) the difference of (x)
Planet America (Final Amended and Restated) Inv. Agreement 18
19
$200,000, minus (y) 10% of the aggregate Put Dollar Amount of the Put Shares put
to Investor during all Puts to date, and the Company shall not be required to
pay the Annual Non-Usage Fee thereafter.
Each Annual Non-Usage Fee or Termination Fee is payable within five (5)
business days of the date it accrued, in cash or in registered, unlegended,
freely tradable Common Stock of the Company. Where such payment is made in
shares of Common Stock, each share of Common Stock shall be valued at the lesser
of (i) the weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) Business
Days preceding the date that such Annual Non-Usage Fee is due, or (ii) the
weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days
preceding the date that such shares are delivered to Investor. The Company shall
not be required to deliver any payments to Investor under this subsection until
Investor has paid all Put Dollar Amounts that are then due.

standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a
material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Company is not the subject of any pending,

material respects, as described in the Disclosure Documents (as further set
forth in any subsequently filed Disclosure Documents, if applicable), except

continuing losses, there have been no material adverse changes to the Company's
business, financial condition, or prospects since the dates of such Disclosure

Company, except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. This Agreement and the
Disclosure Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and
do not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or herein
necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading in

irreparable harm to an Investor by vitiating the intent and purpose of the

inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 6.11, that an Investor shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction

this Agreement but for the Cap Amount and eliminate any prohibitions under
applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer
quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over

In consideration of the Investor's execution and delivery of the Investment

Documents") and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of
the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company
shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all of its
stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors
and any of the foregoing person's agents, members, partners or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or
documents contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or
any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or
(c) any cause of action, suit or claim, derivative or otherwise, by any
stockholder of the Company based on a breach or alleged breach by the Company or
any of its officers or directors of their fiduciary or other obligations to the
stockholders of the Company.
To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be
unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which it
would be required to make if such foregoing undertaking was enforceable which is
permissible under applicable law.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action pursuant to which indemnification may be sought, such
Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
other party (hereinafter "Indemnitor") under this Section 9, deliver to the
Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof and the Indemnitor shall
have the right to participate in and to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably selected by the Indemnitor, provided, however, that an Indemnified
Party shall have
Planet America (Final Amended and Restated) Inv. Agreement 32
33
the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and
expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the
Indemnitor's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any
liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, but the omission to so
deliver written notice to the Indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any Indemnified Party other than under this Section 9 to the
extent it is prejudicial.
