material interest in any material property used by the Company.
5u. Business Plan. The Business Plan Executive Summary (the
"Business Plan") previously delivered to each Investor has been prepared in good
faith by the Company and does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact nor does it omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein not misleading except that with respect to projections contained in
the Business Plan, the Company represents only that such projections were
prepared in good faith and that the Company reasonably believes in its business
judgment there is a reasonable basis for such projections based upon information
currently available to the Company (as such projections have been revised on the
Business Plan Schedule).
5v. Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Rights
Agreement and Schedule 5(v), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant any

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each
Investor as to itself severally and not jointly hereby represents and warrants
to the Company that:
6a. Authorization. Each Investor represents that it has full
power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement
constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor.
6b. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made
with each Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the
Company, which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor
hereby confirms, that the Series C Preferred Stock to be purchased by such
Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively,
the "Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement, each Investor further represents that
such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to
any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.
6c. Reliance Upon Investors' Representations. Each Investor
understands that the Series C Preferred Stock is not, and any Common Stock
acquired on conversion thereof at the time of issuance may not be, registered
under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this
Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2) thereof, and that the
Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investors'
representations set forth herein. Each Investor realizes that the basis for the
exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the
Investor has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Series C Preferred Stock for
a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale
if the market does not rise. No Investor has any such intention.
14
15
6d. Receipt of Information. Each Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Series C Preferred Stock. Each Investor further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Series C Preferred Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial
condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the
Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable
effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished
to it or to which it had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or
modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 6 of this
Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.
6e. Investment Experience. Each Investor represents that it is
experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Series C Preferred Stock. If other than an
individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose
of acquiring the Series C Preferred Stock.
6f. Accredited Investor.
(i) The term "Accredited Investor" as used herein refers
to a person or entity who:
(a) is a director or executive officer of the
Company; or
(b) Any bank as defined in section 3(a)(2) of the Act,
or any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in
section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Act whether acting in its individual or
fiduciary capacity; any broker or dealer registered pursuant to section
15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; insurance company as defined
in section 2(13) of the Act; investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company as
defined in section 2(a)(48) of that Act; Small Business Investment
Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under
section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958;
employee benefit Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the
investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in section
3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan
association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if
the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or,
if a selfdirected plan, with investment decisions made solely by
persons that are accredited investors;
(c) Any private business development company as
defined in section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
15
16
(d) Any organization described in section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or
similar business trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in
excess of $5,000,000;
(e) Any natural person whose individual net
worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, at the time of his
purchase exceeds $1,000,000;
(f) Any natural person who had an individual
income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or
joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of
those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same
income level in the current year;
(g) Any trust, with total assets in excess
of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the
securities offered, whose purchase is directed by a person who has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment; or
(h) Any entity in which all of the equity
owners are accredited investors.
As used in this Section 6(f), the term "net worth" means the
excess of total assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a
person's net worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be
valued at fair market value, including the cost of improvements, net of current
encumbrances. As used in this Section 6(f), "income" means actual economic
income, which may differ from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes.
Accordingly, the undersigned should consider whether it should add any or all of
the following items to its adjusted gross income for income tax purposes in
order to reflect more accurately its actual economic income: any amounts
attributable to tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner
in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to
an ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ retirement plan, and alimony payments.
(ii) Each Investor as to itself severally and not
jointly further represents to the Company that except as otherwise disclosed to
the Company, in writing, prior to its execution hereof, such Investor is either:
(a) such Investor is an Accredited Investor
(as indicated on such Investor's counterpart signature page attached hereto); or
(b) such Investor is not an Accredited
Investor and neither such Investor nor any beneficiary of any trust or any
investment client for whose account such Investor is purchasing is a citizen or
resident of the United States or Canada, or any state, territory or possession
thereof, including but not limited to any estate of any such person, or any
corporation, partnership, trust or
16
17
other entity created or existing under the laws thereof, or any entity
controlled or owned by any of the foregoing (a "U.S. Person").
(iii) "The capital contribution of the Investor does not
exceed 10% of the Investor's net worth or, in the case of an individual, joint
net worth with that person's spouse."
6g. Restricted Securities. Each Investor understands that the
Securities may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without
registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the
absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities or an
available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities
must be held indefinitely. In particular, each Investor is aware that the
Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met. Among the conditions for
use of Rule 144 is the availability of current information to the public about
the Company. Such information is not now available and the Company has no
present plans to make such information available.
6h. Legends. To the extent applicable, each certificate or
other document evidencing any of the Series C Preferred Stock or any Common
Stock issued upon conversion thereof shall be endorsed with the legends set
forth below, and each Investor covenants that, except to the extent such
restrictions are waived by the Company, such Investor shall not transfer the
shares represented by any such certificate without complying with the
restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed on such certificate:

AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH
RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL,

prior written consent of the Company, any public offering or sale of the Series
C Preferred Stock, or any Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof,

(including securities into which such securities have been converted), each
future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
