interest in, any of the Subsidiaries, and there is no outstanding security of
any kind convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or proprietary
interest.

Shares nor the issuance or delivery of the Underlying Common Shares is subject
to any preemptive or other purchase right of the Company's stockholders or to
any right of first refusal or other right in favor of any Person. The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not result in any
anti-dilution adjustment or other similar adjustment to any of the Company's
outstanding securities. Any Person with any right to purchase securities of the
Company, which would be triggered as a result of the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement, has waived such rights.
3.8 NO DEFAULT OR BREACH; CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. All of the

other party thereunder.

the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. The SEC

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants, severally and
not jointly, to the Company as follows:

partnership, company with limited liability or limited liability company, as
the case may be, duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation and (b) has the requisite
corporate, partnership, limited company or limited liability company, as the
case may be, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents.
4.2 AUTHORIZATION; NO CONTRAVENTION. The execution, delivery and
performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited company or limited liability company, as the case may be,
action, (b) do not contravene the terms of such Purchaser's organizational
documents, or any amendment thereof, and (c) do not violate, conflict with or
result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under,
any material Contractual Obligation of such Purchaser or any Requirement of Law
applicable to such Purchaser and (d) do not violate any material Orders of any
Governmental Authority against, or binding upon, such Purchaser.
4.3 GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATION; THIRD PARTY CONSENTS. No
approval, consent, compliance, exemption, authorization or other action by, or
notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, and
no lapse of a waiting period under any Requirement of Law, is necessary or
required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance (including,
without limitation, the purchase of the
12
Purchased Shares) by, or enforcement against, such Purchaser of this Agreement
and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby other than such filings required
to be made after the Closing under applicable federal and state securities
laws.
4.4 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by
equitable principles relating to enforceability (regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
4.5 PURCHASE FOR OWN ACCOUNT.
(a) The Purchased Shares to be acquired by such Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired for its own account for
investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution of such Purchased Shares or any part thereof in any transaction
that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of
America, any state of the United States or any foreign jurisdiction. Such
Purchaser understands and agrees that such Purchased Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and that the Purchased Shares
cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with
the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws, as then in
effect. Such Purchaser agrees to the imprinting of a legend on certificates
representing all of its Purchased Shares to the following effect:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY FOREIGN JURISDICTION.
THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE
ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares and the
Underlying Common Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in this Section 4.5), (a) while a registration statement covering the
resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (b) following
any sale of such Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares pursuant to Rule
144, (c) if such Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares are eligible for
sale under Rule 144 and the holder of the Purchased Shares delivers to the
Company a certificate stating that such holder is not an Affiliate of the
Company or (d) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company agrees that following the
effective
13
date of registration statement covering the resale of the Underlying Common
Shares or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section
4.5, it will, no later than one trading day following the delivery by a
Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate
representing Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares issued with a
restrictive legend (such date, the "LEGEND REMOVAL DATE"), deliver or cause to
be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Purchased Shares
or Underlying Common Shares that is free from all restrictive and other
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section. The Company shall request its counsel to
issue a legal opinion to the Company's transfer agent if required by the
Company's transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend in accordance
herewith.
(c) In addition to any other rights available to such Purchaser,
if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Purchaser a
certificate or certificates free of restrictive legends by the Legend Removal
Date, and if after such date the Purchaser is required by its broker to
purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of Purchased Shares or
Underlying Common Shares (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall pay in cash to
the Purchaser the amount by which (x) the Purchaser's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so
purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of
Underlying Common Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the
Purchaser free of legends, times (B) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed. The Purchaser shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in
respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other
evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a
Purchaser's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at
law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to
timely deliver certificates free from restrictive legends as required pursuant
to the terms hereof.
(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from
time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered
broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Purchased
Shares or Underlying Common Shares of such Purchaser to a financial institution
that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities
Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if
required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares to the pledgees
or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval
of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured
party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice
shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser's expense, the
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or
secured party of Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares may reasonably
request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Purchased Shares or
Underlying Common Shares, including, if the Purchased Shares or Underlying
Common Shares are
14
subject to registration pursuant to this Agreement, the preparation and filing
of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities
Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend
the list of selling stockholders thereunder.
4.6 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Such Purchaser understands that the
Purchased Shares will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the
Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Agreement is
exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the so-called
"Section 4(1)(1/2) exception" and that the reliance of the Company on such
exemption is predicated in part on such Purchaser's representations set forth
herein.
4.7 TRANSACTIONS IN COMMON STOCK. During the 20 days prior to the
date of this Agreement, no Purchaser has, directly or indirectly, effected or
agreed to effect any short sale, whether or not against the box, established
any "put equivalent position" (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange
Act) with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including,
without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or
otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Preferred Stock or Common Stock.
4.8 ACCREDITED INVESTOR; ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Such Purchaser is an
"Accredited Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act, as presently in effect. Such Purchaser is a sophisticated
investor, has had the opportunity to ask questions of and seek information from
the Company, and is fully aware of the Company's financial condition. Such
Purchaser (A) acknowledges that (i) the Company has not filed all of its
required reports under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Staff of the Commission is
currently conducting an investigation into the Company and its accounting
practices as described in the SEC Reports (the "SEC INVESTIGATION"), (iii) the
SEC Reports do not contain all of the historical financial information and
other disclosure required to be included therein and (iv) is aware of the
matters enumerated on SCHEDULE 4.8 provided to the Purchaser on the date hereof
and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, is nonetheless willing to purchase the
Purchased Shares.
4.9 BROKER'S, FINDER'S OR SIMILAR FEES. There are no brokerage
commissions, finder's fees or similar fees or commissions payable by such
Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with such Purchaser or any action taken
by such Purchaser.
ARTICLE V

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
each of the Purchasers and its Affiliates and their respective officers,
managers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, an "INDEMNIFIED Party") to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, or written
threats thereof (including, without limitation, any claim by a third party),
damages, expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges
of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Company
and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party
or
16
otherwise in the manner described in Section 7.2 below) or other liabilities
(collectively, "LOSSES") resulting from or arising out of any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in this
Agreement (without regard to any knowledge, material adverse effect or
materiality qualifications); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall be
required to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party with
respect to Losses only to the extent that, with respect to the Indemnified
Parties related to each Purchaser, as a group, the aggregate amount of such
Losses of such group exceeds $10,000.
(b) Absent fraud or willful or intentional misconduct, the
indemnification provided by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(a) for breaches
of any representation or warranty by the Company of this Agreement shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses.
(c) In connection with the obligation of the Company to indemnify
for expenses as set forth in clause (a) of this Section 7.1, the Company shall,
upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail,
reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified
Party in any action between the Company and the Indemnified Party or between
the Indemnified Party and any third party) as they are incurred by such
Indemnified Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such expenses arise out of any
action, investigation or other proceeding commenced by an Indemnified Party
(other than as a result of any action, claim or written threat by a third party
against the Indemnified Party), the Company shall reimburse such Indemnified
Party for all such expenses only (x) after the final resolution or disposition
of such action, investigation or other proceeding and (y) if such Indemnified
Party prevails in such action, investigation or other proceeding; and PROVIDED,
FURTHER that if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed under this Article VII for
any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it
is finally judicially determined that such expenses resulted or arose solely
from the breach by such Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty,
covenant or other agreement of such Indemnified Party contained in this
Agreement or the gross negligence, recklessness, willful or intentional
misconduct of the Indemnified Party.
7.2 NOTIFICATION. Each Indemnified Party under this Article VII
shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim
against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from
the Company under this Article VII, notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the
Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability
which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII unless, and
only to the extent that, such omission results in such Company's material
prejudice or forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such
claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the
Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided that any Indemnified
Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such
defense at its own expense.
17
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any claim in which both the Company, on the
one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably
likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more
defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the
Company or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Company, on
the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make
such separate representation advisable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Company
shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all
Indemnified Parties, (ii) in any action between the Company and the Indemnified
Parties, the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such fees and
expenses only (x) after the final resolution or disposition of such action and
(y) if the Indemnified Party prevails in such action and (iii) in any action
between the Indemnified Parties and any third party, the Company shall
reimburse the Indemnified Parties for such fees and expenses as such fees and
expenses are incurred. The Company agree that they will not, without the prior
written consent of the Purchasers, settle, compromise or consent to the entry
of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters
contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been
actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified
Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim.
7.3 CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this
Article VII from the Company is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder
in respect of any Losses for which the Company would otherwise be required to
indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article VII, then the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of
the Company and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the
Company or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The
amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above
shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees, charges or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or
proceeding.

as any Purchaser owns Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares, the Company
18
agrees to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within
the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company
after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Subject to SCHEDULE 4.8,
following the SEC Compliant Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts not to terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under
the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would otherwise permit such termination. If such termination shall
occur, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions
as shall be required to cause the Company to promptly become required to file
reports under the Exchange Act. Subject to Section 4.8, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts take such further action as the Purchasers may
reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable the Purchasers to sell
the Purchased Shares or Underlying Common Shares pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 144. Subject to Section 4.8, such action shall include, but not be
limited to, making available adequate current public information meeting the
requirements of paragraph (c) of Rule 144.

FILING") describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents substantially in the form approved by the Purchasers and
including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Transaction
Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company
shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or
applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide
copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after filing. Except as set forth in
the previous sentence, neither of the Company, nor the Purchasers will issue
any press release or make any public statements with respect to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of
the other parties hereto, except to the extent such party reasonably believes
such press release or public statement is required by applicable law or stock
market regulations in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide
the other party with reasonable prior notice of such public statement, filing
or other communication and an opportunity to review and comment on such public
statement, filing or other communication. The Company shall not, and shall
cause each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to,
provide any Purchaser with any material nonpublic information regarding the
Company from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release
without the express written consent of such Purchaser; PROVIDED, that the
foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Purchaser that has a
representative on the Company's Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser,
or include the name of any Purchaser in any press release without the prior
written consent of such Purchaser.
8.3 FORM D AND BLUE SKY. The Company agrees to file a Form D with
respect to the Purchased Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to each Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall,
on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably
determine is
19
necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Purchased
Shares for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement
under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United
States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall
make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased
Shares required under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of
the United States following the Closing Date.

all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Purchased
Shares and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, such number of
its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the
conversion of the Purchased Shares from time to time outstanding or otherwise
to comply with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of the Purchased Shares or otherwise to comply with the
terms of this Agreement, the Company will forthwith take such corporate action
as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The
Company will obtain any authorization, consent, approval or other action by or
make any filing with any court or governmental or administrative body that may
be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Purchased Shares.
8.5 FURNISHING OF INFORMATION. The Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the financial statements of the Company included in

for Reports on Form 10-Q), and (ii) to fairly present in all material respects
