that are "restricted securities" or otherwise not readily marketable is not
excessive in view of the Investor's net worth and financial circumstances and
the purchase of the Shares and Warrants will not cause such commitment to become
excessive.

may from time to time be issued or issuable. To the extent that any Common Stock
is so listed, the Company will obtain and, so long as the Investor owns any of
the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap, the
Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock
Exchange and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing
and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of any exchanges or automated
quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed.
7. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.
(a) LEGEND. The instruments representing the Shares, Warrants and, if
applicable, Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend or similar legend (as
well as any legends required by applicable corporate law and state and federal
securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR,
IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH
OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN
COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
(b) REMOVAL OF LEGEND AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Any legend
endorsed on a certificate pursuant to this Section 7 shall be
removed, and the Company shall issue a certificate without such
legend to the holder of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, as
applicable, if (i) such Shares or Warrant Shares are resold pursuant
to a registration statement under the Securities Act, and a
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 11 of the Securities
Act is delivered or deemed delivered to the purchaser of such Shares
or Warrant Shares, (ii) if such holder satisfies the requirements of
Rule 144(k) or (iii) if such holder provides the Company with an
opinion of counsel for such holder of the Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that a sale, transfer or assignment of such Shares, Warrants
or Warrant Shares may be made without registration.
8. PRICE PROTECTION. If the Company issues or sells any shares of
its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, other than Excluded
Shares (as that term is defined below) ("ADDITIONAL SHARES") at any
time after the Closing Date and prior to June 30, 2004 (the
"ADJUSTMENT PERIOD") for a consideration per share (as to any such
issuance, the "DILUTIVE PRICE") (a) less than the Share Price (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and the like) and (b) if
11
Additional Shares have been previously issued during the Adjustment
Period with respect to which the Company has fully complied with
this Section 8, then also less than the lowest Dilutive Price (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and the like) at which
such Additional Shares have been previously issued during the
Adjustment Period, then the Company will issue to each Investor a
number of shares, if positive, of Common Stock to such Investor
determined by the following formula:
X = (A * B / C) - (A + D)
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to
be issued to the Investor, rounded to
the nearest whole number;
A = the number of Shares (as adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends and the
like) then held by the Investor;
B = the Share Price (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends and the like);
C = the applicable Dilutive Price; and
D = the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends and the like) issued to
the Investor pursuant to this Section 8
prior to the date of such determination.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "EXCLUDED SHARES" means: (i) shares of
Common Stock issuable or issued after the Closing Date to officers, employees,
consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock
purchase, stock option, restricted stock or other written compensation plan or
agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "BOARD"); (ii)
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable after the Closing Date, primarily for
non-equity financing purposes and as approved by the Board, to financial
institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements,
equipment financings or similar transactions or to vendors of goods or services
or customers; (iii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon (a) exercise of
warrants, options, notes or other rights to acquire securities of the Company,
in each case, outstanding on the Agreement Date, (b) conversion of shares of the
Company's Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share outstanding on the
Agreement Date or (c) exchange of promissory notes issued by the Company
outstanding on the Agreement Date; (iv) capital stock or warrants or options to
purchase capital stock issued in connection with bona fide acquisitions, mergers
or similar transactions, the terms of which are approved by the Board; (v)
shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to licensors of technology of the
Company to pay expenses, royalties or milestone payments for which the Company
is obligated under any licensing or related agreement; (vi) shares of Common
Stock issuable or issued pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends and the like,
or (vii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by way of dividend or other
distribution on any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to clauses (i)- (vi)
above.
12
If the Company shall issue or sell any warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible
into shares of Common Stock (collectively, "COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS") during
the Adjustment Period, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert
thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the effective price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of such
Common Stock Equivalents shall be less than (i) the Share Price (as adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends and the like) and (ii) if Additional Shares have
been previously issued during the Adjustment Period with respect to which the
Company has fully complied with this Section 8, then also less than the lowest
Dilutive Price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and the like) at
which such Additional Shares have been previously issued during the Adjustment
Period, then the Company shall issue to the Investor that number of shares of
Common Stock that would be issuable pursuant to this Section 8 on the basis that
the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all
such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued and
outstanding and the Company shall have received all of the consideration payable
therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents. No further issuances shall be made under this Section 8 upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of
such Common Stock Equivalents, unless such actual issue is at a per share
consideration lower than the Dilutive Price used for purposes of the initial
adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.

(e) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any term of this Agreement may be amended,
waived or departed from only with the written consent of the Company and the
Investor. No such waiver or consent shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a
waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this
Agreement, whether or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was
given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.
(f) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement is personal to each of the
parties and may not be assigned without the written consent of the other party;
provided, however, that the Investor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement
14
to any person to whom it assigns or transfers securities issued or issuable
pursuant to this Agreement in compliance with applicable securities laws and
this Agreement. Any assignee must be an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule
501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
(g) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this
Agreement shall be unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be
deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it enforceable, and as so
limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court
shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect.
(h) INTERPRETATION. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i)
each party and such party's counsel has reviewed the terms and provisions of
this Agreement; (ii) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities
are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the

Agreement shall be construed fairly as to the parties hereto and not in favor of

the preparation of this Agreement. Whenever used herein, the singular number
shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, the use of any
gender shall include all persons.
(i) HEADINGS AND CAPTIONS. The headings and captions of the various
subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
in no way modify, or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or
provisions hereof.
(j) NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS, POWERS AND REMEDIES. No failure or delay by a
party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and
no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of
any such right, power or remedy of the party. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or
remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any
remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such
party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not
expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such
notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such
notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without
such notice or demand.
(k) SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and
warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement, shall survive (i) the
execution and delivery hereof, (ii) any investigations made by or on behalf of
the parties and (iii) the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby.

(m) COUNTERPARTS AND FACSIMILE DELIVERY. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature page
delivered by facsimile or other electronic image transmission shall be binding
to the same extent as an original signature page, with regard to any agreement
subject to the terms hereof or any amendment thereto. Any party who delivers
such a signature page agrees to later deliver an original counterpart to any
party who requests it.
(n) SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.
(i) SECURITIES ACT. The Company shall timely prepare and file with the
Commission the form of notice of the sale of securities pursuant to
the requirements of Regulation D regarding the sale of the Shares and
Warrants under this Agreement.
(ii) STATE SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE -- SALE. The Company shall timely
prepare and file such applications, consents to service of process
(but not including a general consent to service of process) and
similar documents and take such other steps and perform such further
acts as shall be required by the State of Illinois, with respect to
the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.
(iii) STATE SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE --RESALE. Beginning no later
than June 30, 2004 and continuing until (i) the Investor has sold all
of its Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement or (ii)
the Common Stock becomes a "covered security" under Section
18(b)(1)(A) of the Securities Act, the Company shall maintain within
either ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Industrial Manual or Standard and Poor's Standard
Corporation Descriptions (or any successors to these manuals which are
similarly qualified as "recognized securities manuals" under state
Blue Sky laws) an updated listing containing (i) the names of the
officers and directors of the Company, (ii) a balance sheet of the
Company as of a date that is at no time older than eighteen months and
(iii) a profit and loss statement of the Company for either the
preceding fiscal year or the most recent year of operations.
Capitalized terms used in this Section 10(n)(iii), but not otherwise
defined in this Agreement, shall have the meanings assigned in the
Registration Rights Agreement.
(o) INDEPENDENT NATURE OF THE INVESTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The
obligations of the Investor under the Transaction Agreements are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other third party purchaser of the Company's
securities, and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other third party purchaser. Each of the
Investor and the Company agrees and acknowledges that (i) the decision of the
Investor to purchase securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the
Investor independently of any other third party purchasers of the Company's
securities and (ii) no other third party purchasers of the Company's securities
have acted as agent for the Investor in connection with the Investor making its
investment hereunder and that no such other third party purchasers will be
16
acting as agent of the Investor in connection with monitoring its investment
hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Agreement or any
agreement of any such other third party purchaser, and no action taken by the
Investor pursuant hereto or any other third party purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Investor or any other third party purchasers
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity,
or create a presumption that the Investor and any other third party purchaser
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to any matters. The
Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation, the rights arising out of the Transaction
Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any other third party purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. To the
extent that any such other third party purchasers purchase the same or similar
securities as the Investor hereunder or on the same or similar terms and
conditions or pursuant to the same or similar documents, all such matters are
solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of the Investor
and are not done with the knowledge of the Investor hereunder, and would be
solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or
requested to do so by the Investor or any such other third party purchaser.
