(a) PURCHASER BEARS ECONOMIC RISK. Purchaser has substantial
experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of
securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the
capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of
this investment indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are
registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is
available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of
registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock.
Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if
available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion
of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts
or at the times Purchaser might propose.
(b) PURCHASER CAN PROTECT ITS INTEREST. Purchaser represents
that by reason of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience,
Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement.
Further, Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection
with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
(c) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser represents that it is an
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(d) INVESTMENT. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares (or any of
the Common Stock into which the Shares are convertible) for investment for its
own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling or
distributing the Shares (or any of the Common Stock into which the Shares are
convertible). Purchaser understands that the Shares (and the Common Stock into
which the Shares are convertible) to be purchased by it have not been registered
under the Securities Act

which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment
intent as expressed herein.
(e) COMPANY INFORMATION. Purchaser has received and read the
Financial Statements and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's
business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and
management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company's
operations and facilities. Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding
the terms and conditions of this investment.
(f) RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that the Shares and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they
are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits
limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the
availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale
occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the
security to be sold, the sale being through an unsolicited "broker's
transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is
defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and the number of shares
being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
4.4 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
the Shares and the Conversion Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer as
