$.01 Par Value (the "Preferred Stock") convertible in accordance with the terms

Agreement relates to the offering of a maximum of 500 shares of Preferred Stock.

Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (collectively, with exhibits thereto,
hereinafter referred to as the "Reports"). In addition, the Subscriber has
received from the Company such other information concerning its operations,
financial condition and other matters as the Subscriber has requested, and
considered all factors the Subscriber deems material in deciding on the
advisability of investing in the Securities (such information in writing is

and has purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in
private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") by reason of their issuance
in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act, and that
such Securities must be held unless a subsequent disposition is registered under
the 1933 Act or is exempt from such registration. The Subscriber agrees that if,

(k) Information Concerning Company. The Reports and Other
Written Information contain all material information relating to the Company and
its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates which
information is required to be disclosed therein. Since the date of the financial
statements set forth in the Reports, and except as modified in the Other Written

material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(l) Dilution. The number of Shares issuable upon conversion
(as hereinafter defined) may increase substantially in certain circumstances,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the circumstance wherein the trading
price of the Common Stock
5
declines prior to conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Company's executive
officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the
Securities being sold hereby and recognize that they have a potential dilutive
effect. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith
business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company.

upon conversion is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the

or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would
have a material adverse effect on the Company, (ii) in default with respect to
any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party
to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action,
suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust,
monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters, or (iii) to
its knowledge in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority material to its business.
(o) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of
its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of
The NASDAQ SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ SmallCap"), as applicable, nor will the
Company or any of its subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the
offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. The Company

contemplated hereby that will be integrated with the issuance of the Securities
solely for purposes of Rule 4460(i) of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.'s
Marketplace Rules.

be released to the Company will be used for
6
working capital, general corporate purposes and for expenses of this offering.

the meaning of Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offer or sale
of the Securities.

the Subscriber prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the Closing Date. The foregoing representations and
warranties shall survive the Closing Date.
3. Regulation D Offering. This Offering is being made pursuant to
the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On the
Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion acceptable to Subscriber from
the Company's legal counsel opining on the availability of the Regulation D

subscription amounts of up to $500,000. The Company will pay a cash commission
of ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price designated on the signature page
hereto to certain Placement Agents identified on Schedule A hereto. The
commissions and legal fees will be payable out of funds held pursuant to a Funds
Escrow Agreement to be entered into by the Company and Subscriber. The Company
will also issue and deliver to the Placement Agents as additional compensation
the Warrants designated on Schedule A hereto. All the representations,
covenants, warranties and undertakings, including but not limited to
registration rights made or granted to or for the benefit of the Subscriber are
hereby also made and granted to the Placement Agents in respect of the Warrants
and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
7.1. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees
with the Subscriber as follows:
(a) The Company will advise the Subscriber, promptly after it
receives notice of issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state
securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of
any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the
Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the common stock of the
Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any
proceeding for any such purpose.
(b) The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
Company Shares and Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants upon
each national securities exchange, or automated quotation system, if any, upon
which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and shall maintain such listing so long as any other shares of Common
Stock shall be so listed, Company will use its best efforts to maintain the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on NASDAQ SmallCap, and will comply in
all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD")
and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each
Purchaser copies of any notices it receives regarding the continued eligibility
of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges or quotation systems, or any
other exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed.
(c) The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD and applicable
state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for
8
the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber and promptly
provide copies thereof to Subscriber.
(d) Until at least three (3) years after the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other Registration Statement
described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof, the Company will use its reasonable
efforts (i) to cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under
Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, (ii) to comply in all respects with
its reporting and filing obligations under such Exchange Act, and (iii) to
comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Agreement. The Company will not take any action or file any
document (whether or not permitted by the Act or the Exchange Act or the rules
thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend
its reporting and filing obligations under said Acts, except as permitted
herein, until the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the effective date of the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other Registration Statement
described in Section 10.1(iv) hereof, or (ii) the sale by the Subscribers of all
the shares of common stock issuable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
Until at least three (3) years after the Warrants have been converted into
Common Stock, the Company will take all action within its power to continue the
listing or trading of its Common Stock on NASDAQ SmallCap and will comply in all
respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the
bylaws or rules of the NASD and NASDAQ.
(e) The Company and Subscriber agree that until the Company
either obtains shareholder approval of the issuance of the Shares, or an
exemption from NASDAQ's corporate governance rules as they may apply to the
Shares (the "Approval"), the Subscriber may not receive upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock more than the number of Shares designated on the signature page
hereof ("Section 7.1(e) Shares"). The Company represents that this number
together with the aggregate of such amounts designated for all investors in the
$500,000 offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, and the Exchange
Preferred Stock described in Section 12 hereof, is not greater than 19.99% of
the shares of Company's common stock outstanding on the Closing Date. The
Company undertakes to obtain the approval of its shareholders, if necessary,
required pursuant to the NASDAQ's corporate governance rules to allow conversion
of all the Preferred Stock and dividends and exercise of all the Warrants. The
Company covenants to obtain the shareholder approval, if necessary, no later
than 60 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement described in
Section 10.1(iv) hereof. Failure to obtain shareholder approval, if required, on
or before such date shall, at the Subscriber's or then holder's election, be
deemed an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 of the Certificate of
Designation, but only to the extent of the Preferred Stock and Exchange
Preferred Stock that may not be converted or Warrants that may not be exercised
due to the Company's failure to obtain such shareholder approval.
9
(f) The Company undertakes to use the proceeds of the
Subscribers funds to implement its acquisition strategy, working capital and
expenses of this offering.
7.2. Covenants of Subscriber. The Subscriber covenants and agrees
with the Company that the Subscriber will provide for itself and any beneficial
holder of the Securities, information and documents reasonably required by the
Company for the Company to comply with its governmental and regulatory
obligations including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission,
blue sky and NASDAQ requirements.
8. Covenants of the Company and Subscriber Regarding
Idemnifications.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse
and defend Subscriber against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation,
loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or
imposed upon Subscriber which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or Reports or other
Written Information; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company of
any covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder.
(b) Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse
and defend the Company at all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability,
obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature,
incurred by or imposed upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based
upon (a) any misrepresentation by Subscriber in this Agreement or in any
Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto; or (b) any breach or default in
performance by Subscriber of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by
Subscriber hereunder.
9.1. Conversion.
(a) The Preferred Stock will be convertible according to the
procedure set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
(b) Anything to the contrary herein or in the Certificate of
Designation notwithstanding, the initial conversion date shall commence on the
later of the effective date of the registration statement described in Section
10.1(iv) or upon the date the Subscriber has put in a notice of conversion
relating to not less than all the Class E Preferred Stock of the Company
previously purchased by the Subscriber from the Company.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of
the Shares and Preferred Stock certificates
10
representing the unconverted balance of a Preferred Stock certificate tendered
for conversion beyond the date described for such delivery set forth in the
Certificate of Designation ("Delivery Date") or Mandatory Conversion Date (as
that term is employed in the Certificate of Designation), or late delivery of a
Mandatory Redemption Payment (as defined herein), as the case may be, could
result in economic loss to the Subscriber or holder of Preferred Stock. As
compensation to the Subscriber or holder of Proferred Stock for such loss, the
Company agrees to pay late payments to the Subscriber for late delivery of
Shares upon Conversion and late delivery of a Preferred Stock certificate for
the unconverted portion of a Preferred Stock certificate or late delivery of a
Mandatory Redemption Payment in the amount of $100 per business day after the
Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being
converted and Preferred Stock certificate remaining undelivered or Mandatory
Redemption Payment not paid. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under
this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares
within three business days after the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be
entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivery in a notice to
such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber shall each
be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of
such notice of revocation, except that late payment charges described above
shall be payable through the date notice of revocation is given to the Company.
(d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to
herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest
or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the
event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder
exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum
shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus
refunded to the Company.
9.2. Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company may not issue
Shares on a Delivery Date because such issuance and delivery would be contrary
to NASDAQ's Corporate Governance Rules, or for any other reason including the
limitation described in Section 9.3 hereof, then the Company must pay to the
Subscriber on the Delivery Date a sum of money determined by multiplying the
number of Shares otherwise deliverable, by the average closing ask prices of the
Shares on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market or such other securities exchange or other
securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded for the most
recent trading day preceding the Conversion Date ("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber
on the same date as the Shares otherwise deliverable. Upon receipt of the
Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Preferred Stock will be
cancelled and no longer outstanding, and if the
11
Holder is in possession of the corresponding Preferred Stock, it will be
returned to the Company.
9.3. Maximum Conversion. The Company and Subscriber may not
convert that amount of the Preferred Stock on a Conversion Date in connection
with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber
and its affiliates on such Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to
which the determination of this proviso is being made on such Conversion Date,
which would result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its affiliates
of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. For
the purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder, except as
otherwise provided in clause (i) of such proviso.
10. Registration Rights; Procedure; Indemnification.
10.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following
registration rights to holders of the Company Shares and the Warrants.
(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 31 days after
the Closing Date, but not later than three years from the date hereof, the
Company, upon a written request therefor from any record holder or holders of
more than 50% of the aggregate of the Company's Shares issuable upon conversion
of the Preferred Stock and Exchange Preferred Stock at the then applicable
Conversion Price (the Securities and securities issued or issuable by virtue of
ownership of the Securities being, the "Registrable Securities"), shall prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement under the Act covering the
Registrable Securities which are the subject of such request, unless such
Registrable Securities are the subject of an effective registration statement.
In addition, upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give
written notice to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that
such registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such
registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written
requests within 10 days after the Company gives such written notice. Such other
requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand
registration right under this Section 10.1. As a condition precedent to the
inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder thereof shall provide the
Company with such information as the Company reasonably requests. The obligation
of the Company under this Section 10.1(i) shall be limited to one registration
statement.
12
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register
any of its securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with
respect to registration statements on Forms ▇-▇, ▇-▇ or another form not
available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by
the Subscriber pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time
it will give at least 10 days' prior written notice to the record holder of the
Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of
the holder, received by the Company within 10 days after the giving of any such
notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities, the
Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall
have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent
required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller"). In
the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 10.1(ii) shall be, in
whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the
Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent
that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold
by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the
Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the forgoing
provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in
this Section 10.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
(iii) If, at the time any written request for
registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(i), the Company
has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer
and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company's own account, such
written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 10.1(ii)
rather than Section 10.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section 10.1(ii)
except that the Company or underwriter, if any, may not withdraw such
registration or limit the amount of Registrable Securities included in such
registration.
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission,
within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, and use its reasonable
commercial efforts to cause to be declared effective a Form S-3 registration
statement (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register
the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the Act. The
registration statement described in this paragraph must be declared effective by
the Commission within 90 days of the Closing Date. The Company will register not
less than 57,000 shares of Common Stock in the S-
13
3 registration statement for each $10,000 of Purchase Price as set forth on the
signature page hereto and one share of Common Stock for each share of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. These shares to be registered
shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of the Subscriber
and Placement Agents, as the case may be, and not issued, employed or reserved
for anyone other than the Subscriber and Placement Agents, as the case may be.
Such registration statement will be promptly amended or additional registration
statements will be promptly filed by the Company as necessary to register
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon Reset. The Company may not be
include any securities other than the Registrable Securities in the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 required pursuant to this Section 10.1(iv) unless such
other securities are being registered on behalf of the Subscriber. In the event
the Company does not comply with the schedule for registration set forth above,
the Company shall not be released from any of its obligations under this
Subscription Agreement or any agreement delivered in connection herewith
including the Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 10 of the
Subscription Agreement except that the Company shall no longer be required to
file a registration statement in connection with only those Securities
corresponding to that portion of the Purchase Price released to the Subscriber
and damages shall not accrue to the Subscriber in relation to funds released to
the Subscriber from and after the date that portion of the Purchase Price is
returned to the Subscriber. To the extent any part of the Purchase Price portion
of the Registration Escrow is released to a Subscriber, then that portion of the
Registration Escrow may, at the Subscriber's election, first be applied in
satisfaction of payment by the Company of sums payable to such Subscriber
pursuant to Section 10.2(j) and Section 7.1(e) hereof.
10.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of
Registrable Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided), and
promptly provide to the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings
and Commission comment letters;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective for the period specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the
14
Seller's intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement
for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any,
such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the
securities covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller or, in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of
the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which
the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;
(g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any
underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration
statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or
underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by the seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
(h) at the request of the Seller, provided a demand for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or a request for
registration has been made pursuant to Section 10.1(ii), the Registrable
Securities will be included in a registration statement filed pursuant to this
Section 10. In the event of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in
which the Registrable Securities are so included, the lockup, if any, requested
by the managing underwriter may not exceed ninety (90) days after the effective
date thereof.
15
(i) In connection with each registration hereunder, the
Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to
itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in
order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In
connection with each registration pursuant to Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii)
covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to
enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and
containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such
an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and
investment stature.
(j) The Company and the Subscriber agree that the Seller will
suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section 10.1(i) or
10.1(ii) above is not filed within 45 days after request by the Holder and not
declared effective by the Commission within 130 days after such request [or 30
days and 90 days, respectively, after the Closing Date in reference to the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other form described in Section
10.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated
by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement
described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is not filed within 45 days of such
request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date
that is 130 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form
S-3 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv) is not filed within 30 days
after the Closing Date or not declared effective within 90 days of the Closing
Date, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections 10.1(i),
10.1(ii) or 10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease
to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional
registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which
shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive
calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.2(j) is referred to herein as a
"Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event
shall continue, the Company shall pay in cash as Liquidated Damages to each
holder of any Securities an amount equal to three (3%) percent per month, or
part thereof, of the Purchase Price of the Preferred Stock and Company Shares
and purchase price of the Exchange Preferred Stock and Company Shares, if any,
issued on conversion thereof, then owned of record by such holder as of
immediately following the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to
be made pursuant to this Section 10.2(j) shall be due and payable immediately
upon demand in immediately available funds. In the event a mandatory redemption
of Preferred Stock is demanded by the holder of Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation, then the
16
Liquidated Damages described in this Section 10.2(j) shall no longer accrue from
and after the date the holder receives the payment described in Section 8 of the
Certificate of Designation.
10.3. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in
complying with Section 10, including, without limitation, all registration and
filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or
"blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fee of one counsel, if
any, to represent all the Sellers, and costs of insurance are called
"Registration Expenses". All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling
Expenses". The Seller shall pay the fees of its own additional counsel, if any.
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with the registration statement under Section 10. All Selling
Expenses in connection with each registration statement under Section 10 shall
be borne by the Seller in proportion to the number of shares sold by the Seller
relative to the number of shares sold under such registration statement or as
all Sellers thereunder may agree.
10.4. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning
of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities
was registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
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, and will reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
17
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller,
the underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use
in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the
Registrable Securities under the Act pursuant to Section 10, the Seller will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs
the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against
all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Act pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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, and will reimburse the Company and each such
officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is
equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the Registrable
Securities sold by the Seller under such registration statement bears to the
total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any
event to exceed the gross proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the
omission so to
18
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 10.4(c) and
shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified
party under this Section 10.4(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is
prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against
any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof
with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and
undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section 10.4(c) for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying
party, the indemnified parties shall have the right to select one separate
counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the
defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in the event of joint liability under the Act in any case in which
either (i) the Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.4 but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 10.4 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the Act may be required on the part of the
Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section 10.4; then, and in each such
case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution
from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (A) the Seller will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities offered by it pursuant to such
19
registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
11. Right of First Refusal. Until 120 days of continued
effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 described in Section
10.1(iv) hereof, the Subscriber shall be given not less than seven (7) business
days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common
stock or other securities or debt obligations. The Subscriber shall have the
right during the seven (7) business days following the notice to agree to
purchase an amount of Company Shares in the same proportion as the Preferred
Stock being purchased in the aggregate offering to which this Subscription
Agreement relates (i.e. $500,000 in the aggregate), of those securities proposed
to be issued and sold, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
the notice of sale. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during
the notice period, the Subscriber shall be given prompt notice of such
modification and shall have the right during the original notice period or for a
period of five (5) business days following the notice ofmodification, whichever
is longer, to exercise such right. In the event the right of first refusal
described in this Section is exercised by the Subscriber and the Company thereby
receives net proceeds from such exercise, then commissions and fees will be paid
by the Company to the Placement Agents in the same proportions as described in
Section 6 hereof.
12. Exchange Preferred Stock. The Subscriber is the holder of
286,738 Common Shares of the Company. On the Closing Date, the Subscriber shall
exchange 286,738 Common Shares for 250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock
("Exchange Preferred Stock"). The Exchange Preferred Stock shall be deemed
Preferred Stock and is granted all the rights and privileges of the Preferred
Stock described herein including the registration rights described herein except
that the issue date and Closing Date for the Exchange Preferred Stock shall be
July 30, 1998, which is the closing date under the Subscription Agreement
relating to the purchase of the 286,738 shares of Common Stock. All the
representations, covenants and undertakings relating to the Preferred Stock
shall be deemed made in connection with the Exchange Preferred Stock. The legal
opinion described in Section 3 hereof shall also be provided in connection with
the Exchange Preferred Stock.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. All notices or other communications
given or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or
deemed delivered the first business day after being telecopied (provided that a

conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement. The closing date shall be the
date that subscriber funds representing the net amount due the Company from the
Purchase Price are transmitted by wire transfer to the Company (the "Closing
Date").
(c) Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by both
parties. No right or obligation of either party shall be assigned by that party
without prior notice to and the written consent of the other party.

this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the

individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements on behalf of the
Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by
jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.
(f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.

occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It

Subscriber hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing
in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
