NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION I - PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Series C Preferred Stock; Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Investors, and the Investors agree to purchase from the Company, 166,667 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $500,001 (the “Purchase Price”). The Series C Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences and other terms set forth in the certificate of designations of the Company (the “Certificate of Designations”) attached as Exhibit A hereto. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to this Section 1.1 are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares.” Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth herein, the purchase of the Shares shall be made at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held on the date hereof. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Investors one or more certificates representing the Shares purchased by the Investors against payment of the Purchase Price to the Company by wire transfer payable in immediately available funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Schedule A.
SECTION II - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
In order to induce the Investors to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company hereby makes to the Investors the following representations and warranties.
2.1 Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties, to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby (together, the “Transaction Documents”) to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
wherein the character of its property, or the nature of the activities presently conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or results of operations of the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”). The Company is not in violation of any term or provision of its certificate of incorporation, as restated (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), or its by-laws (the “By-laws”), each as in effect as of this date.
2.2 Authorization and Non-Contravention. The Transaction Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws, from time to time in effect, which affect enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the sale and delivery of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement and, if the Shares are converted in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended to date, including by any Certificates of Designations, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the issuance of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company and its stockholders. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the sale and delivery of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement and, if the Shares are converted, the issuance of the Conversion Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the performance of any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under any contract or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its assets are bound, or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or cause the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company, except for those which would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) violate, conflict with or result in a default (whether after the giving of notice, lapse of time or both) under, any provision of any law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by any court or other governmental agency applicable to the Company, except for those which would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) require from the Company any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of any governmental authority or other third party other than pursuant to federal or state securities or blue sky laws; or (iv) accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any agreement, permit, license or authorization to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, which acceleration or termination would have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.3 Authorized and Outstanding Stock. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the authorized capital stock of the Company will consist of (i) 30,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, of which 9,923,998 shares were issued and outstanding as of October 16, 2003, and (ii) 9,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which (a) 4,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, no shares of which are outstanding, and (b) 1,500,000 shares have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 801,448 shares of which are issued and outstanding as of October 19, 2003, and (c) 166,667 shares have been designated as Series C Preferred Stock, 166,667 shares of which are issued and outstanding. Except as disclosed in the Company SEC reports (as defined below) and in the Transaction Documents, there are no
2
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, phantom rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any kind for or relating to the issuance, or sale of, or outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of any class or other equity interests of the Company. Except as set forth in the Company SEC Reports, the Company has no obligation to purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock or any interests therein. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will have been duly and validly authorized and issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances created by or through the Company. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors representations in Section III, the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and Conversion Shares are or will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the qualification or registration provisions of applicable state securities laws. The Company has duly and validly authorized and reserved 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation will, upon such conversion and issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances created by or through the Company. The Company has duly and validly authorized and reserved 166,667 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and the Conversion Shares issued in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation will, upon such conversion and issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances created by or through the Company. There are no preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, put or call rights or obligations or anti-dilution rights with respect to the issuance, sale or redemption of the Company’s capital stock, other than rights set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation. Other than the rights set forth in the Transaction Documents, there are no rights to have the Company’s capital stock registered for sale to the public pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction, and there are no agreements of which the Company is aware relating to the voting of the Company’s voting securities or restrictions on the transfer of the Company’s capital stock.
2.4 No Brokers or Finders. No person has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or claim against or upon the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker because of any act or omission by the Company.
2.5 Company SEC Reports, Government Reports, Financial Statements. Since January 1, 2001, the Company and each Company Subsidiary has filed each report or other filing that it was required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (together with any permitted filings on Form 8-K, the “Company SEC Reports”). As of their respective dates, each of the Company SEC Reports was true and correct in all material respects and complied in all material respects with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except to the extent revised or superseded by a later-filed Company SEC Report). The financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto,
3
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
