to induce the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Notes,
the Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Purchasers:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a
-------------------------------------
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is
now being conducted. The Company does not have any Subsidiaries (as defined in
Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set
forth in the Commission Documents (as defined in Section 2.1(f)) or on Schedule
--------
2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary is duly qualified as a
------
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the
aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material
Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect"
-----------------------
means any adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or
financial condition of the Company or its Subsidiaries and which is material to
such entity or other entities controlling or controlled by such entity or which
is likely to materially hinder the performance by the Company of its obligations
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Section
2.1(b) hereof).
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite
--------------------------
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the

(collectively, the "Transaction Documents") and to issue and sell the Securities
---------------------
in accordance with the terms hereof and the Notes and the Warrants, as
applicable. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated
thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors
or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by the Company. The other Transaction Document will have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents
-2-
constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation,
conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting
generally the enforcement of, creditor's rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and
--------------
the shares thereof currently issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2001 are set

---------------
any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive rights or
registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip,
rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating
to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the
Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on
in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, there are no
---------------
contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is
or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the
Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital
stock of the Company. Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in
agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or
as provided in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the
---------------
Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting
registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its
equity or debt securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c), the Company
---------------
is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the offer and sale of
---------------
all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options of the
Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable federal and
state securities laws, and no holder of such securities has a right of
rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which could have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has furnished or made available to the Purchasers
true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as in
effect on the date hereof (the "Certificate"), and the Company's Bylaws as in
-----------
effect on the date hereof (the "Bylaws").
------
(d) Issuance of Securities. The Notes and the Warrants to be issued
----------------------
at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and,
when paid for or issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Notes shall be
validly issued and outstanding, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
rights of refusal of any kind. When the Warrant Shares are issued and paid for
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as set forth in the Warrants,
such shares will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and
validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of
all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders shall
be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
------------
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions
-3-
contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of
the Company's Certificate or Bylaws or any Subsidiary's comparable charter
documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any

agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries'
respective properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien,
mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property
or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement or any
commitment to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by

respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any
federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all
cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iv) above, for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being
conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any
governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required under federal, state, foreign or
local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of,
or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in
order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the

accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than any filings which may be
required to be made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and Form 10-

and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
---------------
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending

therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the
conduct of its business as now being
-6-
conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits,

approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(o) hereto, the
----- ---------------
Company and each of the Subsidiaries has accurately prepared and filed all
federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid
or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to be due and all
additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are reflected in
the financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries for all current
taxes and other charges to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject and
which are not currently due and payable. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(o)
---------------
hereto, none of the federal income tax returns of the Company or any Subsidiary
have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has no knowledge

against the Company or any Subsidiary for any period, nor of any basis for any
such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
(p) Certain Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(p) hereto, the
------------ ---------------

brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders' structuring fees,

----------
Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or
instruments furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any
Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not
misleading.
(r) Operation of Business. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries
---------------------
owns or possesses all patents, trademarks, domain names (whether or not
registered) and any patentable improvements or copyrightable derivative works
thereof, websites and intellectual property rights relating thereto, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and authorizations, including, but not
limited to, those listed in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(r)
---------------
hereto, and all rights with respect to the foregoing, which are necessary for
the conduct of its business as now conducted without any conflict with the
rights of others.
(s) Environmental Compliance. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s)
------------------------ ---------------
hereto, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all material
approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits
or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any
other person, that are required under any Environmental Laws. Schedule 2.1(s)
---------------
hereto sets forth all material permits, licenses and other authorizations issued
under any Environmental Laws to the Company or its Subsidiaries. "Environmental
-------------
Laws" shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection of the
----
environment including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to
reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or remediating
emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances,
chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or
wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface water,
groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous
substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic
-7-
substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature,
into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants,
contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or
gaseous in nature. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(s) hereto, the Company
---------------
has all necessary governmental approvals required under all Environmental Laws
and used in its business or in the business of any of its Subsidiaries. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are also in compliance with all other
limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, requirements, schedules and
timetables required or imposed under all Environmental Laws. Except for such
instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse
Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances,
incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company
or its Subsidiaries that violate or may violate any Environmental Law after the
Closing or that may give rise to any environmental liability, or otherwise form
the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or
investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to
the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including,
without limitation, underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling,
or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any hazardous
substance. "Environmental Liabilities" means all liabilities of a person
-------------------------
(whether such liabilities are owed by such person to governmental authorities,
third parties or otherwise) whether currently in existence or arising hereafter
which arise under or relate to any Environmental Law.
(t) Books and Records; Internal Accounting Controls. The records and
-----------------------------------------------
documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material
respects the information relating to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the nature of all
transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the
Company or any Subsidiary. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the
Company's board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken
with respect to any differences.
(u) Material Agreements. Except for the Transaction Documents and as
-------------------
set forth in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(u) hereto, neither the
---------------
Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any written or oral contract,
instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement, a copy of
which would be required to be filed with the Commission (collectively, "Material
--------
Agreements") if the Company or any Subsidiary were registering securities under
----------
the Securities Act. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has in all material
respects performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to date
under the foregoing agreements, have received no notice of default and, to the
best of the Company's knowledge are not in default under any Material Agreement
now in effect, the result of which could cause a Material Adverse Effect. No
written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or
arrangement of the Company or of any Subsidiary limits or shall limit the
payment of interest on the Notes, or dividends on its Common Stock.
-8-
(v) Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth in the
----------------------------
Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(v) hereto, there are no loans, leases,
---------------
agreements, contracts, royalty agreements, management contracts or arrangements
or other continuing transactions between (a) the Company, any Subsidiary or any
of their respective customers or suppliers on the one hand, and (b) on the other
hand, any officer, employee, consultant or director of the Company, or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any person owning any capital stock of the Company or any

Status. The Company is not a "holding company" or a "public utility company" as

such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as

benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) with respect to
which the Company is a "party in interest" (within the meaning of Section 3(14)

effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interest of other
stockholders of the Company.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of
------------------------------------------------
the number Purchasers hereby makes the following representations and warranties
to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other
Purchaser:
(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchaser. If the Purchaser is
------------------------------------------
an entity, such Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or
partnership duly incorporated or
-11-
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.
(b) Authorization and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite power
-----------------------
and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Notes
and Warrants being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of the
Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may
be, is required. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes, or shall constitute when executed
and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable
against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor's
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
------------
Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a
violation of the Purchaser's charter documents or bylaws or (ii) conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, or result in a violation of any
law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or
governmental agency applicable to the Purchaser or its properties (except for
such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser). The Purchaser is
not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or
relating hereto, or to purchase the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof,
provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the
Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Acquisition for Investment. The Purchaser is purchasing the Notes
--------------------------
and acquiring the Warrants solely for its own account for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution.
The Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities,
nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to
effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and subject
-------- -------
to Section 2.2(f) below, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the
Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to
dispose of any of the Securities at any time in accordance with federal and
state securities laws applicable to such disposition. The Purchaser acknowledges
that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser's
investment in the Company and is (ii) able to bear the financial risks
associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) that it has been given
full access to such records of the Company and the
-12-
Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has
deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.
(e) Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Securities must be
--------
indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act or
an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that
such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the
Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"),
--------
and that the Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under
certain circumstances. The Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule
144 is not available, the Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities
without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another
exemption from such registration requirement.
(f) General. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being
-------
offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying
upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of the
Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Purchaser understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon
or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
(g) Opportunities for Additional Information. The Purchaser
----------------------------------------
acknowledges that the Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive
officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the
Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of the Purchaser's personal
knowledge of the Company's affairs, the Purchaser has asked such questions and
received answers to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser
desires to invest in the Company.
(h) No General Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
-----------------------
Securities were not offered to the Purchaser by means of any form of general or
public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated
advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar
media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to
which the Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.
(i) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an accredited investor (as
-------------------
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and the Purchaser has such experience in
business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that an
investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

----------------
agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the
right or ability to perform of the Company or any Subsidiary under any
Transaction Document.
Section 3.9 Distributions. So long as any Securities remain
-------------
outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Purchasers, which consent may be granted or denied in the sole
discretion of the Purchasers (i) declare or pay any dividends (other than a
stock dividend or stock split) or make any distributions to any holder(s) of
Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or

Section 3.10 Subsequent Financings; Right of First Refusal. (a) So

to), any third party (a "Subsequent Financing"), of Common Stock or any
--------------------
securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, including
debt securities (collectively, the "Financing Securities") other than a
--------------------
Permitted Financing (as defined hereinafter). For purposes of this Agreement,

issuance of any Financing Securities (other than for cash) in connection with a

(90) days after the date hereof, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly
notify (in no event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an
applicable offer) in writing (a "Rights Notice") the Purchasers of the terms and
-------------
conditions of any proposed Subsequent Financing. The Rights Notice shall
describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed
closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within thirty (30)
calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, including, without limitation,
all of the terms and conditions thereof. The Rights Notice shall provide the
Purchasers an option (the "Rights Option") during the thirty (30) calendar day
-------------
period following delivery of the Rights Notice (the "Option Period") to purchase
-------------
such amount as the Company and the Purchasers may agree to up to such
Purchaser's pro rata portion of the Purchase Price, of the securities being
offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions
as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing (the "First Refusal Rights").
--------------------
Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the
Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements,
agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to
provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed
Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation
based on changes in the Purchase Price or any type of reset or adjustment of a
purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after
the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive
notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option
Period, the Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on
the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided that all of the terms
--------
and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers
in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does
not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or
any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this
Section 3.10, including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights
Notice.
(c) If the Company fails to complete a Strategic Merger within ninety
(90) days of the date hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to enter
into a Subsequent Financing which will provide that the first use of the
proceeds from such transaction will be applied to prepay the Notes in full.
Section 3.11 Reservation of Shares. As of each Warrant issuance date,
---------------------
the Company shall have reserved out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. So long as any of the Warrants remain
outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.12 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue
---------------------------
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer
agent, to issue certificates,
-16-
registered in the name of the Purchasers or their respective nominee(s), for the
Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchasers
to the Company upon exercise of the Warrants, in the form of Exhibit E attached
hereto (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior to registration of
---------------------------------------
the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear
the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 3.12 will be given by the Company to
its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.12 shall affect in any way
the Purchasers' obligations and agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply
with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon the resale of
the Warrant Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under
the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that
can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the
case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by the
Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will cause irreparable
harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 3.12, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
Section 3.13 Disposition of Assets. So long as the Notes remain
---------------------
outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without
limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for
sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written
consent of the Purchasers.
Section 3.14 Repayment of Other Indebtedness. So long as the Notes
-------------------------------
remain outstanding, the Company shall not repay any indebtedness for borrowed
money owed by the Company to any officer, director, affiliate or insider of the
Company.

legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required
by applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES")
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE

The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the
Securities, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making
any transfer of any such Securities, such holder thereof shall give written
notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and
removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer will not
be effected until: (a) the Company has notified such holder that either (i) in
the opinion of Company counsel, the registration of such Notes, Warrants or
Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such
proposed transfer; or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the
Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act; and (b) the

counsel, the registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition,
or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been
effected. The Company will use its best efforts to respond to any such notice
from a holder within five (5) days. In the case of any proposed transfer under
this Section 5, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such
applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event be
required, in connection therewith, to qualify to do business in any state where
it is not then qualified or to take any action that would subject it to tax or
to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject.
The restrictions on transfer contained in Section 5.1 shall be in addition to,
and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in
any other section of this Agreement.

of the Company and the Purchasers.
Section 6.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the
---------------------
Company or the Purchasers, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to
the other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
terminated without further action by either party. If this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 6.1 herein, this Agreement shall become void
and of no further force and effect, except for Sections 8.1 and 8.2, and Article
VII herein. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to release the Company
or any Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement, or to
impair the rights of the Company and the Purchasers to compel specific
performance by the other party of its obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
Section 7.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and
-----------------
hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers,
affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. The
Purchasers severally but not jointly agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns
from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges
and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or
breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchasers
herein.
Section 7.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to
-------------------------
indemnification under this Article VII (an "indemnified party") will give
written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim
for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to
indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VII except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an
indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such action, proceeding or
claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for
-21-
indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any
indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to
defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action,
proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences
such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or
otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until
the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the
defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs
and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such
action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim
by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all
information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such
action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend
any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to
participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and
expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, the indemnifying
party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle
or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof
which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not
include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of
such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VII shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such
moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements
contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar
rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and
(b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the
law.
ARTICLE VIII

with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or
cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or

New York county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) 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. Each of the Company and the
Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute

be waived other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought. No such amendment shall
be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of
the Notes then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Notes, as the case
may be.

Exhibit G
[FORM OF OPINION]
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite
corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to
carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue
the Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. The execution, delivery and
performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered, and the Notes and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued and
delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Warrant Shares are not
subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws.
3. The Notes have been duly authorized and, when delivered against
payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. The Warrant Shares, have been duly authorized and
reserved for issuance, and, when delivered upon exercise or against payment in
full as provided in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the
terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants
and the Warrant Shares do not (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Company is a party, (c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any
property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its
respective properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any
Federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the
Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations
pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) above, for such conflicts, default,
terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration
or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required
under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the
valid execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the
offer, sale or issuance of the Notes, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares other
than filings as may be required by the Nasdaq rules and regulations.
6. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending
or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Agreement
or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken
pursuant thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding
pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or
any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court,
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any
officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.
7. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits,
licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and
approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by
it, except for such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, the failure to possess
which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
8. The offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants and the
offer, issuance and sale of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Agreement, the
Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
9. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing
will not be, an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment
company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Schedule 2.1(c)
---------------
Authorized Capital Stock: 30,000,000 common shares; 10,000,000
preferred shares
Issued as of June 8, 2001: 9,523,113 common shares; 0 preferred shares
All issued shares as of 3/31/01 were registered shares and free trading, subject
to rules for affiliates under rules 144 and 145.
After June 8, 2001, SPEEDCOM will issue the following shares:
SRI International: 150,000 shares
Additionally, SPEEDCOM has issued $462,800 of convertible debt securities which
could result in up to 123,000 shares of additional issuance. These shares have
been registered.
SPEEDCOM currently has senior secured debt of approximately $40,000, a bridge
loan from Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx of $250,000, the $462,800 of convertible debt
referred to above, approximately $200,000 of trade notes payable, plus accrued
expenses and payables in the ordinary course.

dated April 13, 2001.
As of June 8, 2001, SPEEDCOM had outstanding contract rights, including options
and warrants as follows: Employee options granted: 3,639,085; vested: 1,222,201.
The weighted average strike price of the vested employee options is $2.75.
Publicly traded warrants are as disclosed in the company's SEC filings and could
result in approximately 2.2 million shares of dilution if the stock price rises
above $27 before October 7, 2001. Private warrants totalling approximately
230,000 are as disclosed in the company's SEC filings except for 36,500 warrants
issued to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx as partial compensation for his bridge loans. At
$3.00 per share, it is estimated that potential future dilution could total
approximately (under FASB 128) 1,600,000 shares under all vested contract rights
(including certain anti-dilution rights held by SRI and one angel investor) (the
publicly traded warrants have strike prices above $27 per share). Options are
