accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) as limited by equitable
principles generally. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not,
and the performance of this Agreement and the compliance with the provisions
hereof and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares by the Company will not
materially conflict with, or result in a material breach or violation of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of any material lien pursuant to the terms
of, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any statute,
law, rule or regulation or any state or federal order, judgment or decree or
any indenture, mortgage, lease or other material agreement or instrument to

filing dates, all documents filed by the Company with the SEC (the "SEC
Documents") complied in all material respects with the requirements of the

as applicable. None of the SEC Documents as of their respective dates contained
any untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein,

accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC
with respect thereto. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance

present the consolidated financial position of the Company and any subsidiaries
at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
consolidated cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal, recurring adjustments).
3.5 Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization
of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with,
any federal, state, or local governmental authority on the part of the Company
is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement except for (a) compliance with the securities
and blue sky laws in the states in which Shares are offered and/or sold, which
compliance will be effected in accordance with such laws, (b) the filing of
Form S-3 and all amendments thereto with the SEC as contemplated by Section 7.2

ordinary course of business which have not been, either individually or in the
aggregate, materially adverse.

of September 30, 1998, 12,150,867 shares were outstanding, and (ii) 5,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, no par value, none of which shares are currently

actions, suits proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its properties
before or by any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or
official in which there is a reasonable likelihood (in the judgment of the
Company) of an adverse decision that (a) could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's properties or assets or the business of the Company as
presently conducted or proposed to be conducted or (b) could impair the ability
of the Company to perform in any material respect its obligations under this
Agreement.
Section 4
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchasers
Each Purchaser hereby severally represents and warrants to the Company,
effective as of the Closing Date, as follows:
3.
7
4.1 Authorization. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company
that: (i) Purchaser has all requisite legal and corporate or other power and
capacity and has taken all requisite corporate or other action to execute and
deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Shares to be purchased by it and to
carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) as limited by equitable
principles generally.
4.2 Investment Experience. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Purchaser is aware of the
Company's business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser has such business and
financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own
interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
4.3 Investment Intent. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own
account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view
to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in
part, within the meaning of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that its
acquisition of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or
registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific
exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Purchaser's investment intent as expressed herein. Purchaser
has completed or caused to be completed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached
hereto as Exhibit B for use in preparation of the Registration Statement (as
defined below), and the responses provided therein shall be true and correct as
of the Closing Date and will be true and correct as of the effective date of the
Registration Statement. Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to
purchase the number of shares set forth in Exhibit A relied solely upon the SEC
Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained
herein. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or
otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in compliance
with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
4.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements. Purchaser further
acknowledges and understands that the Shares may not be resold or otherwise
transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or
unless an exemption from such registration is available.
4.5 Restriction on Short Sales. Purchaser represents and warrants to
and covenants with the Company that Purchaser has not engaged and will not
engage in any short sales of the Company's Common Stock prior to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, except to the extent that any such
short sale is fully covered by shares of Common Stock of the Company other than
the Shares.
4.
8
4.6 No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Purchaser understands that
nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in
connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or
investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in
connection with its purchase of the Shares.

parties hereto, shall terminate.

(i) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration
Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information
relating thereto;

of any proceeding for any preceding purposes; and
(iii) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event
that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement,

incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any
additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in
order to make the statements therein not misleading;

7.3 Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Purchaser may
become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make
7.
11
the statements therein not misleading, in each case on the effective date
thereof, or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking
included in the Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred,
reimburse such Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or
claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is
based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such
Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or
any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser.
(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each
director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling
person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of this Agreement
by such Purchaser or any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and to
the extent, such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser
specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such
Purchaser will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or
controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or
claim.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a
claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be
sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such
indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such
claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions
hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified person and such indemnifying shall have been notified thereof, such
indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the
extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the
indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however,
that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same
counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person
or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled
to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided,
further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and
expense of more than one separate counsel
8.
12
for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action
without the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(d) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any
action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to
participate, then the indemnified party shall defend itself at its own cost and
expense until there is an adjudication at which point the indemnifying party
shall then reimburse the indemnified party for its costs and expenses.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is
required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or
otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above, then each applicable
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.
7.4 Prospectus Delivery. The Purchaser hereby covenants with the
Company not to make any sale of the Shares without effectively causing the
prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied. The
Purchaser acknowledges that there may be times when the Company must suspend
the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until
such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the
Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company
has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The
Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Shares pursuant to said
prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives
the Purchaser notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending
at the time the Company gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may
thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus. Such suspension periods
shall in no event exceed 60 days in any 12 month period.
7.5 Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company
pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to
occur of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold, or
(ii) such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be resold in a three-month
period pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) the second anniversary of the Closing
Date.
7.6 Reporting Requirements.
(a) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules
and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit the sale of the Shares
to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; and
9.
13
(iii) so long as any of the Purchasers own Registrable
Securities, to furnish to the Purchasers forthwith upon request (1) a written
statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the reporting
requirements of said Rule 144, the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, or whether it is qualified as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to SEC Form S-3, and (2) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed
by the Company.
