its business as now conducted, and believes it can obtain, on commercially
reasonable terms, any additional rights necessary for its business as
contemplated at the Closing.

of the Company's ownership or right to use the Intellectual Property.
(c) The Company does not have any knowledge of, and the Company has not
given or received any notice of, any pending conflicts with or infringement of
the rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or with respect
to any license of Intellectual Property which are material to the business of
the Company.
(d) No action, suit, arbitration, or legal, administrative or other
proceeding, or investigation is pending, or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened, which involves any Intellectual Property and the Company is
not subject to any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
any Federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental department, commission,

7

Property used in its products, services and business. The Company has taken
reasonable steps to ensure that employees and consultants who, either alone or
in concert with others, developed, invented, discovered, derived, programmed or

form of Exhibit 3.10 to this Agreement.
(i) The Company has reviewed its operations to evaluate the extent to which
the business or operations of the Company will be affected by the Year 2000
Problem (as defined below). As a result of such review, the Company has not
noted any material Year 2000 Problems which would prevent its products and
systems from being capable of correctly interpreting dates beyond the year 1999.
Based on the Company's testing to date, the Company has no reason to believe
that Year 2000 Problems caused by its own products or internal operations would
have a Material Adverse Event. The "Year 2000 Problem" as used herein means any
significant risk that computer hardware or software used in the receipt,
transmission, processing, manipulation, storage, retrieval, retransmission or
other utilization of data or in the operation of mechanical or electrical
systems of any kind will not, in the case of dates or time periods occurring

dates or time periods occurring prior to January 1, 2000.
3.11 Taxes.
(a) (i) All federal, state, local, and foreign tax returns required to be
filed by the Company have been filed and are true in all material respects and
(ii) (A) all taxes, assessments, fees, and other governmental charges upon the
Company, or upon any of its properties, income, or franchises, shown in such
returns to be due and payable, (B) any assessments imposed, and (C) to the
Company's knowledge, all other taxes due and payable by the Company, have been
paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent, except for such
failures to file or to pay as would not in the aggregate constitute a Material
Adverse Event.
(b) The Company has not been advised (i) that any of its tax returns have
been or are being audited as of the date hereof or (ii) of any deficiency in
assessment related to its federal, state or other taxes. The Company has no
knowledge of any liability for any tax to be imposed upon its properties or
assets as of the date of this Agreement that is not adequately provided for.
8
3.12 Company's Contracts.
(a) Legality of Contracts. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the
Company is not a party to or bound by any contract, commitment or understanding

Agreement, (ii) involves a license or grant of rights to or from the Company
involving Intellectual Property applicable to the business of the Company,
(iii) contains provisions restricting the development, manufacture or
distribution of the Company's products or services, or (iv) provides

in full force and effect in all material respects.
(b) Dividends; Indebtedness. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the
Company has not (i) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of
$1,000,000 (either individually or in the aggregate), (ii) made any loans or
advances to any person, other than ordinary advances for travel expenses,
(iii) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights or
entered into any agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, other than the
sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business, or (iv) declared or
paid any dividends, or authorized any distribution upon or with respect to any
class or series of its capital stock.
3.13 Compliance With Other Agreements. The Company is not in violation of
(i) any term or provision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, each as in
effect as of the Closing, (ii) any material term or provision of any Material
Contract (iii) to the Company's knowledge, any decree, order, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company, in each case, or in the aggregate, the
violation of which would constitute a Material Adverse Event. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transactional Agreements by the Company will not
result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a default under,
with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice:
(a) any provision of the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws;
(b) any provision of any judgment, decree or order to which the Company is
a party or by which it is bound;
(c) any Material Contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is
bound; or
(d) to the Company's knowledge, any statute, rule or governmental
regulation applicable to the Company.
3.14 Employees. The Company believes its relations with its employees are
satisfactory. The Company's employees are not represented by any labor unions
nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any union organization campaign in progress.
The Company is not aware that any of its executive officers or key employees
intends to terminate employment nor does the Company have any present intention
to terminate the employment of any thereof.
9
3.15 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports,
no employee, officer, or director of the Company or member of his or her
immediate family is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or
committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them other than
(i) for payment of salary and services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and (iii) for other
standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees (including
stock option agreements outstanding under any Incentive Plans). To the Company's
knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in
any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the
Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes
with the Company, except that employees, officers, or directors of the Company
and members of their immediate families may own stock in publicly traded
companies that may compete with the Company. No member of the immediate family
of any officer or director of the Company is directly or indirectly interested
in any Material Contract with the Company. Except for agreements between the
Company and its employees pertaining to the terms of their employment or the
purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Incentive Plans, there are no
agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Company and any
of its officers, directors or affiliates.
3.16 Governmental and Third Party Consents. Subject to the accuracy of the
Investors' representations in Section 4 of this Agreement, no consent, approval,
order, or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,
declaration, or filing with, any federal, state, local, or provincial
governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for
filings as are required by federal and state securities laws.
3.17 Compliance with Laws; Permits. To its knowledge, the Company is not in
violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation or restriction of any
government, administrative agency or instrumentality in respect of the conduct
of its business or the ownership of its properties, the violation of which would
constitute a Material Adverse Event. The Company has all franchises, permits,
licenses, and any similar governmental authority necessary for the conduct of
its business as now being conducted by it and as currently proposed to be
conducted, the lack of which would constitute a Material Adverse Event. The
Company is not in default under any of such franchises, permits, license, or
other similar authority except for such defaults as will not, individually or in
the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Event.
10
3.18 Registration Rights. Except as required pursuant to the Rights
Agreement, the Company is not presently under any obligation, and has not
granted any rights to register any of the Company's presently outstanding
securities or any securities that may hereinafter be issued under the Securities
Act.
3.19 Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Investors contained in Section 4 hereof, the offer, sale and
issuance of the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and will have been registered or
qualified or are exempt from registration and qualification under the
registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state
securities laws. Neither the Company nor any agent on its behalf will take any
action that would cause the loss of any such exemption.
3.20 Brokers and Finders. The Company has not retained any investment
banker, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
3.21 SEC Reports. The Company has filed with the Commission all required
forms, reports, registration statements and documents required to be filed by it
with the Commission and made all disclosures required by the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act (collectively, the "SEC Reports"), all of which complied as to
form when filed in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), as the case may be. Accurate and complete copies of the SEC
reports have been available to Buyer. As of their respective dates the SEC
Reports (including all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated
by reference therein) 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 therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Event, (A) the Company is in
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below), (B) the
Company has all permits, authorizations and approvals required under any
applicable Environmental Laws and is in compliance with the requirements of such
permits authorizations and approvals, and (C) there are no pending or, to the

or regulated by any governmental authority. "Environmental Claims" means any and
all administrative, regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand
letters, claims, liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigations or
proceedings relating in any way to any Environmental Law.
3.23 Properties. The Company does not own any real property. The Company's
personal properties are, in the aggregate, in good repair (reasonable wear and
tear excepted), suitable for their respective uses, and free from any liens,
charges or encumbrances, other than those imposed in connection with the
Company's credit facilities or capital leases disclosed in the SEC Reports or
the Schedule of Exceptions. Any real properties held under lease by the Company
are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the conduct of the
business of the Company.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor,
severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
4.1 Authorization. When executed and delivered by the Investor, and
assuming execution and delivery by the Company, the Transactional Agreements
will each constitute a valid obligation of the Investor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
4.2 Investment. This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon
its representation to the Company, which by the Investor's execution of this
Agreement Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares to be received by the Investor will be acquired for investment for
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
any of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares. By executing this
Agreement, the Investor further represents that it has no contract, undertaking,
agreement, or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant
participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the
Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares.
4.3 No Public Market. The Investor understands and acknowledges that the
offering of the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act on the grounds that
the offering and sale of securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt
from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and that the
Company's reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon Investor's
representations as set forth in this Agreement. The Investor further understands
that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company
and that the Company has given no assurances that a public market will ever
exist for the Company's securities.
12
4.4 Limitations on Transferability. Investor covenants that in no event
will it dispose of any of the Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares (other
than pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act
("Rule 144") or any similar or analogous rule or pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act) unless and until (a) the
Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall
have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition, and (b) if requested by the Company, the Investor shall
have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company and the Company's counsel to the effect that (i) such
disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and
(ii) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act and any
applicable state, local, or foreign law has been taken. Notwithstanding the
limitations set forth in the foregoing sentence, if the Investor is a
partnership or limited liability company, it may transfer Shares, the Warrant or
the Warrant Shares to its constituent partners or members or a retired partner
or member of such partnership or Company who retires after the date hereof, or
to the estate of any such partner, member or retired partner or member or
transfer by gift, will, or intestate succession to any such partner's or
member's spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors without the necessity of
registration or opinion of counsel if the transferee agrees in writing to be
subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent if such transferee
were an Investor; provided, however, that Investor hereby covenants not to
effect such transfer if such transfer either would invalidate the securities
laws exemptions pursuant to which the Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares
were originally offered and sold or would itself require registration and/or
qualification under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Each
certificate evidencing the Shares, the Warrant or the Warrant Shares transferred
as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in
Section 5 below, except that such certificate shall not bear such legend if the
transfer was made in compliance with subsection (k) of Rule 144 or if the
opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend
is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the
Securities Act.
4.5 Experience; Receipt of Information. The Investor represents that:
(a) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to
be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment in
the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares; (b) it believes it has received
all the information it has requested from the Company and considers necessary or
appropriate for deciding whether to obtain the Shares, the Warrant and the
Warrant Shares; (c) it has had the opportunity to discuss the Company's
13
business, management, and financial affairs with the Company's management;
(d) it has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment;
and (e) it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to
hold the Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of
time and to suffer a complete loss on its investment.
4.6 Accredited Investor. The Investor presently qualifies and will as of
the Closing Date qualify, as an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Regulation D of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.7 Confidentiality. The Investor agrees that it will keep confidential
and will not use, disclose or divulge for a period of two years after receipt,
any information which such Investor may obtain from the Company, pursuant to
financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company as
required hereunder or under any other documents, or pursuant to information
rights granted under the Rights Agreement or any other documents unless such
information is known, or until such information becomes known, to the public
through no fault of such Investor or its agents, or unless the President of the
Company gives his written consent to the Investor's release of such information,
except that no such written consent shall be required (and Investor shall be
free to release such information) if such information is to be provided to
Investor's counsel or accountant, or to an officer, director, general partner,
limited partner, shareholder, investment counselor or advisor, or employee of an
Investor with a need to know such information; provided that any such counsel,
accountant, officer, director, general partner, limited partner, shareholder,
investment counselor or advisor, or employee shall be bound by the provisions of
this Section 4.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.7 shall not
apply (a) to information which an Investor learns from a third party with the
right to make such disclosure, provided Investor complies with the restrictions
imposed by the third party, (b) to information which is in Investor's possession
prior to the time of disclosure by the Company and not acquired by Investor
under a confidentiality obligation, (c) to the minimum extent (after requesting
and pursuing confidential treatment to the extent reasonably possible) the
Investor is required to disclose such information by law or a governmental
regulatory authority, (d) to the minimum extent (after requesting and pursuing
confidential treatment to the extent reasonably possible) Investor is required
to disclose such information by court order.
4.8 Brokers and Finders. The Investor has not retained any investment
banker, broker, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
14
5. Legends.
5.1 The Warrants and certificates for the Shares and the Warrant Shares
shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company and the Company's counsel
deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the following:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE
OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS THE TRANSFER IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR
A SIMILAR RULE AS THEN IN EFFECT UNDER THE ACT, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT
FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT."
