the parties listed as Lenders on the signature page hereof (collectively, the

shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Loan Documents
referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Company are parties to (i) the Loan Agreement,
dated as of August 10, 1995 (the "Loan Agreement"), (ii) the Security Agreement,
dated as of August 10, 1995 in favor of the Lenders and (iii) the Mortgage and
Assignment of Leases, Rentals and Profits Fixture Filing and Security Agreement,
dated August 10, 1995 (the "Mortgage"), made by the Company for the benefit of
Oracle Partners, L.P. ("Oracle"), as agent for the Lenders (the agreements set
forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above are herein collectively referred to as
the "Loan Documents"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Lenders desire to exchange certain of the Term
Notes issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the "Term Notes") for shares of the
Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Exchange of Term Notes for Common Stock. Upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees to surrender to the Company
at the Closing (as herein defined) such Lender's Term Note in exchange for (a)
payment of the accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Note and (b) the
issuance by the Company to such Lender of the number of shares of Common Stock
as provided herein. In exchange for the delivery and surrender by each Lender to
the Company of such Lender's Term Note, the Company hereby agrees (a) to pay the
accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender's Term Note to but not including the
Closing Date (as herein defined) as shall be determined in accordance with
Section 1.3 of the Loan Agreement (the "Interest Payment Amount") as set forth
on Schedule 1 hereto and (b) to issue and deliver to such Lender the number of
shares of Common Stock set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 1
hereto (collectively, the "Shares"), such number in each case being equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing the unpaid principal amount of such Lender's Term
Note by $7.50 (rounded to the nearest whole share).
-10-
2. Closing; Closing Date. (a) The exchange of Term Notes for Shares and
payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Notes will occur at a closing
(the "Closing") to be held on the date of execution and delivery of a
counterpart of this Agreement by the parties hereto, or such other date as shall
be agreed by Oracle and the Company (the "Closing Date").
(b) Promptly after the date the Registration Statement required to be filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant
to Section 6(a) of this Agreement (the "Registration Statement") is declared
effective by the SEC (the "SEC Effective Date"), the Company shall so notify
Oracle.
(c) If the SEC Effective Date has not occurred on or before the 120th day
after the Closing Date, the Company shall so notify Oracle. If the SEC Effective
Date has not occurred on or before the 135th day after the Closing Date, the
Company hereby agrees to issue and deliver to each Lender within ten business
days thereafter such number of additional shares (collectively, the "Additional
Shares") of Common Stock shown on Schedule I attached hereto; provided, however,
that the Lender shall have the right, exercisable by notice to the Company given
within five business days after the 135th day after the Closing Date, to receive
in lieu of the issuance and delivery of Additional Shares to such Lender and
upon return by such Lender of such Lender's Shares to the Company, payment in
cash in immediately available funds to such Lender not later than the date which
is ten business days after the 135th day after the Closing Date, an amount (the
"Repayment Amount") equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Note of such Lender as shown on Schedule 1 hereto plus (2) an amount
equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Note of such Lender from
and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment to such
Lender of the Repayment Amount (the "Repayment Date"). Payment of the Repayment
Amount shall be made against delivery by such Lender to the Company of the
Shares issued to such Lender duly endorsed in blank, with duly executed stock
powers attached and customary signature guaranties. The parties hereto hereby
expressly agree that the Company's obligation under Section 6(a) to use its best
efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall continue so
long as the Repayment Amount has not been paid or the Registration Statement has
been declared effective.
3. Representations, Warranties, Etc. of the Company.
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
(including, but not limited to, the sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares)
have been duly authorized by the Company and no additional corporate action by
the Company is required for the approval of this Agreement. When the Shares are
delivered to the Lenders at the Closing and paid for in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Shares will be duly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. This Agreement constitutes valid and binding agreements and
obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by (a)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
-11-
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and (b) general equitable principles (including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealing), regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law.
(b) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 30,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 19,130,657 shares
are issued and outstanding on the date hereof and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $1.00, of which no shares are issued and outstanding.
No other shares of capital stock have been authorized or issued. All shares of
the Company's outstanding capital stock have been duly authorized, are validly
issued and outstanding, and are fully paid and nonassessable.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not (a) contravene or conflict with the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; (b) contravene or conflict with or
constitute a violation of any provision of any law, regulation, judgment,
injunction, order or decree binding upon or applicable to the Company; (c)
constitute a default under or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation
or acceleration or loss of any benefit under any material agreement, contract or
other instrument binding upon the Company or under any material license,
franchise, permit or other similar authorization held by the Company; or (d)
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as defined below) on any
material asset of the Company, except as provided in this Agreement. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Lien" means, with respect to any asset,
any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind
in respect of such asset.
(d) The Company has heretofore made available to the Lenders true and
complete copies of all reports, registration statements, definitive proxy
statements and other documents (in each case together with all amendments and
supplements thereto) filed by the Company with the SEC since January 1, 1995
(such reports, registration statements, definitive proxy statements and other
documents, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, being sometimes
collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Company SEC Filings"). A list
of all such Company SEC Filings is set forth on Schedule 3(d) hereto. The
Company SEC Filings constitute all of the documents (other than preliminary
materials) that the Company was required to file with the SEC since such date.
As of their respective dates, each of the Company SEC Filings complied in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under each such Act, and none of
the Company SEC Filings contained as of the respective dates of filing with the
SEC any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. When
filed with the SEC, the financial statements included in the Company SEC Filings
complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC and were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting
-12-
principles (as in effect from time to time) applied on a consistent basis
(except as may be indicated therein or in the notes or schedules thereto), and
such financial statements fairly present in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in all material respects the financial position of the
Company as at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of the unaudited interim
financial statements, to normal, recurring year-end audit adjustments and the
absence of footnotes. Since January 1, 1995, except as disclosed in the Company
SEC Filings filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof or in Schedule 3(d)
hereto, the Company has not incurred any liability or obligation of any kind,
outside of the ordinary course of business which, in any case or in the
aggregate, is material to the business, assets, results of operations or
financial condition of the Company.
(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 3(e), there are no outstanding (a)
securities or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any of the capital
stock or other equity interests of the Company; (b) options, warrants,
subscriptions or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests
of the Company; or (c) commitments, agreements or understandings of any kind,
including employee benefit arrangements, relating to the issuance or repurchase
by the Company of any capital stock or other equity interests of the Company,
any such securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for securities or
any such options, warrants or rights.
(f) To the best knowledge of the Company, no representation or warranty
made by the Company in this Agreement, nor in any document, written information,
financial statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared and furnished or
to be prepared and furnished by the Company or the representatives of the
Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or
omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements or
facts contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were furnished. Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Filings,
there is no event, fact or conditions (other than general business or economic
conditions which affect businesses generally) that materially and adversely
affects the business of Company, or that reasonably could be expected to do so,
that has not been set forth in this Agreement or in the Schedules attached
hereto.
4. Each Lender severally and not jointly represents, warrants, covenants
and agrees with the Company as follows:
(a) Such Lender understands that the Shares to be issued to such
Lender have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred by
such Lender unless (A) the Shares are subsequently registered thereunder or (B)
such Lender shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company.
-13-
(b) The certificates for the Shares to be issued to such Lender may
bear the following restrictive legend and the Company may place a stop-transfer

TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER SAID ACT, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT, IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRED, OR EVIDENCE
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE SHARES HAVE BEEN SOLD IN
COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 FORMULATED UNDER SAID ACT."
After the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, the Shares may
bear a legend stating that the Shares are subject to a prospectus delivery
requirement under the Securities Act.
(c) Upon the Closing of the exchange of such Lender's Term Note, such

statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under
which such Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus relating to such shares, 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 not misleading, or any violation by the
Company of any rule or regulation under the Securities Act applicable to the
Company or relating to any action or inaction required by the Company in
connection with any such registration and will reimburse the Lenders for any

any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in any registration statement under which such shares were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating to such
shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Lenders.
-17-
(iii) A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to
indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as
the "Indemnifying Party" and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is
referred to as the "Indemnified Party."
An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims
asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for
indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of
any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days
prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to
other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give
prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might
give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give
such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the
extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.
The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over
the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the
Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or
other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the
Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim
through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party's approval of
such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be
solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the
results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall
not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the
Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or
which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently
contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle
such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be
responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party,
unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate. If
the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election
does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently
to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to
the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take
over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the
Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the
Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In
connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with
Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of
any such claim.
The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the
Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books,
records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with
respect to any matter for
-18-
which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to
cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense
thereof.
With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable
hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the
earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party
and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days
prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the
judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision
against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is no dispute as to the
applicability of indemnification, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the
Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying
Party if such expenses are a liability of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to
other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such
indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by
the Indemnified Party.
7. Release of Collateral; Further Assurances. The Lenders agree (x) on or
prior to the Closing Date to do such things and execute such further documents
as are necessary to effect the release of all Collateral, including the
execution of UCC termination statements and termination of the Mortgage, from
the security interests, mortgages and other liens and encumbrances of the Loan
Documents, and (y) after the Closing Date to deliver such further documents and
do such further acts as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of
further evidencing, confirming, recording, registering or otherwise documenting
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the releases set forth in
Section 4(c) hereof.
8. Certain Fees and Expenses. The Lenders shall be responsible for the
payment of the Company's reasonable legal fees and expenses relating to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including without limitation in
connection with the Registration) up to an amount of $30,000. The portion of
legal fees accrued to the Closing Date will be payable to the Company by the
Lenders at the Closing.
9. Notices. Whenever any party hereto desires or is required to give any
notice, demand, or request with respect to this Agreement, each such
communication shall be in writing and shall be effective only if it is delivered
by personal service or mailed, United States certified mail, postage prepaid
(and shall be deemed to have been received three (3) days after deposit into the
United States mail), or sent by prepaid overnight courier, facsimile or
confirmed telecopier, addressed as follows:
