-------
(b) At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate representing the Common Stock and the Warrant (as defined herein)
being purchased hereby against payment of the purchase price therefor by a check
payable to the Company. The stock certificate, the Warrant and the check shall
be delivered to the escrow holder pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in the form
of Exhibit B hereto (the "Escrow Agreement").

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby

represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:

---------------------------------------------
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to

----------
performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder has been
taken prior to
the Closing. The Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, as limited by laws relating to the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
2.3 Valid Authorization and Issuance of Shares. The Shares that are
------------------------------------------
being issued to the Purchaser hereunder have been duly authorized for issuance
and, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof for the
consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and

and federal securities laws. Based in part upon the representations of the
Purchaser in this Agreement and subject to the filing of any applicable notices
under federal and state securities laws, the Shares will be issued in compliance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
2.4 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation

right of the Company to enter into them, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either individually or in
the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the assets, condition or
affairs of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current
equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any
basis for the foregoing. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a
party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or
decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action,
suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries

or contract to which any of them is a party or by which any of them is bound or
(iii) any federal or state statute, rule or regulation, except in the case of

material or have a material adverse effect on the Company. The execution,

by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (1) will not
be an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon any assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (2) will not
result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without
the passage of time and giving of notice, a default under (a) the Company's
charter or bylaws, (b) any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, agreement
(written or oral) or contract or (c) any federal or state statute, rule or
regulation, except in the case of clause (b) or (c) above, where any such
violation, conflict or default would not be material or have a material adverse

liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September
30, 1999 and (b) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the

transaction other than transactions in the ordinary course of business or which

amended.

---------------------
legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights,
trade secrets, source or object code, licenses, information and proprietary
rights and processes necessary for its business without any conflict with, or

communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its
business, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks,
tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, source or object code, or other
proprietary rights or processes of any other person or entity and, to the
Company's knowledge, it is not in violation of any of the foregoing rights with
respect to any third party. The Company is not aware that any of its employees
is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of
any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of
any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such
employee's best efforts to promote the interest of the Company or that would
conflict with the Company's business.
2.14 Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
--------
registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any third
party or any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the

operating results, or business of the Company, nor is the Company aware of any
labor organization activity involving its employees. The employment of each
officer and employee of the Company is terminable at the will of the Company.
The Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable state and
federal equal employment opportunity laws and with other laws related to
employment.

----------
contained in this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto, any
certificate furnished or to be furnished to the Purchaser at the Closing, or any
other information regarding the Company provided by the Company to the Purchaser
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
-4-
omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which they were made.
2.17 Securities Filings. The Company has made available to the
------------------
Purchaser each registration statement, report, proxy statement or information
statement and all exhibits thereto (collectively, the "Company Reports")
---------------
prepared by it since the effective date of the Company's initial registration
statement, each in the form (including exhibits and any amendments thereto)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company
---
Reports were filed with the SEC in a timely manner and constitute all forms,
reports and documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Laws"). As of their respective dates,
---------------
the Company Reports (a) complied as to form in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Laws and (b) did not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no
unresolved violation asserted by any governmental authority with respect to any
of the Company Reports.
2.18 Year 2000 Compliance. The Company has (a) conducted a review and
--------------------
assessment of all areas within its business and operations (including those
affected by suppliers and vendors) that could be adversely affected by the risk
that computer applications used by the Company (or its suppliers and vendors)
may be unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive functions
involving any date after December 31, 1999 (the "Year 2000 Problem") and (b)
-----------------
developed and implemented a plan for addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a
timely basis. All computer applications that are necessary to the Company's
business and operations (including, to the Company's knowledge, the computer
applications of the Company's suppliers and vendors) will be Year 2000 compliant
by being able to perform properly on a timely basis date-sensitive functions for
all dates after December 31, 1999, except to the extent that a failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The Company will promptly notify the Purchaser in the event the
Company discovers or determines that any computer application (including those
of its suppliers and vendors) that is necessary to its business and operations
will not be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis. The Company will cooperate
fully with the Purchaser in connection with any due diligence review that the
Purchaser may conduct in determining whether the Company has a Year 2000
Problem.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby
-----------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1 Authorization. The Purchaser has full power and authority to
-------------
enter into this Agreement. The Agreements, when executed and delivered by the
Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability
of a specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
-5-
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
---------------------------------
the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representation to the Company,
which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby
confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for
investment for the Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof except in
accordance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in any legends thereon,
this Agreement and in accordance with the Existing Investors' Rights Agreement.
By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser
does not presently 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 Shares. The Purchaser has not been
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

3.4 Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Shares
---------------------
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities

Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations as
expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are "restricted
securities" under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that,
pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless
they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by
state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of
sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the
Company which are outside of the Purchaser's control, and which the Company is
under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
3.5 Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and any
-------
securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Shares may bear one or all
of the following legends:
(a) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A
FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933."
(b) Any legend set forth in the other Agreements.
-6-
(c) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the
extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so
legended.

-------
Shares") beginning six months after the date hereof and (b) to grant piggyback
------
registration rights to the Purchaser with respect to the Shares and the Warrant
Shares on the same terms and conditions as are generally applicable to the other
holders of registrable stock thereunder; provided, however, that the Purchaser
will have the right to demand a registration if the Purchaser proposes to
register at least 50% of the Shares or all of the Warrant Shares. If the Company

shall enter into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.
