The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that:
Section 3.1 Authorization; Approvals; No Conflicts. This Agreement,
when executed and delivered by the Purchaser shall constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with its terms. The Purchaser has obtained or will obtain prior to
the Closing Date all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals and orders,
and have made all registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or
filings with all federal, state or other relevant governmental authorities
required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement will not result in any violation of, be in
conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of
notice or both, a default under any terms or provisions of (i) any judgment,
decree or order of any court or government agency or body having jurisdiction
over the Purchaser or his properties; (ii) any agreement, contract,
understanding, indenture or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party
or by which the Purchaser is bound, the effect of which would have a material
adverse effect on the assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise),
operating results, prospects or business of the Purchaser; or (iii) any statute,
rule or governmental regulation applicable to the Purchaser.
Section 3.2 Investment Representations. The Purchaser is acquiring the
Series B Preferred Stock (and any Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred
Stock may be converted) for the Purchaser's own account, for investment purposes
and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such
shares.
Section 3.3 Investment Experience; Access to Information. The Purchaser
is an "accredited investor," as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated
under the Securities Act. The Purchaser has been afforded prior to the Closing
Date the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the
Company and to obtain any additional information, written and oral, to the
extent the Company has such information or could have acquired it without
unreasonable effort or expense, all as necessary for the Purchaser to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the purchase of the Series B
Preferred Stock.
Section 3.4 Restrictions on Transfer. The Purchaser agrees that (a) the
Purchaser will not offer, sell, transfer, give, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of the Series B Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock into which it may
be converted) or make any attempt to do the foregoing unless such offer, sale,
transfer, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition is (i) registered
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law, or (ii) in
compliance with an opinion of counsel to the Purchaser, delivered to the Company
and reasonably acceptable to counsel for the
3
5
Company, to the effect that such offer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition thereof does not violate the Securities Act or applicable state
securities law, and (b) the certificate(s) representing the Series B Preferred
Stock (and any Common Stock into which it may be converted) shall bear a legend
stating in substance:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE
"RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144
UNDER THE ACT. NEITHER THE SHARES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS
WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH COUNSEL
AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COUNSEL FOR
THIS CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.
Upon request of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or the Common
Stock into which it has been converted), the Company shall remove the legend set
forth above from the certificates evidencing such Series B Preferred Stock or
Common Stock or issue to such holder new certificates therefor free of such
legend, if with such request the Company shall have received an opinion of
counsel selected by the holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
such Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock is not required by the Securities
Act to continue to bear the legend.
Section 3.5 Transfer Instructions. The Purchaser agrees that the
Company may provide for appropriate transfer instructions to implement the
provisions of Section 3.4 hereof.
Section 3.6 Fees and Commissions. The Purchaser has retained not any
finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or other intermediary in connection

to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from liability for any compensation
to any such finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or other intermediary and
the fees and expenses of defending against such liability or alleged liability.

to the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser herein being true
and accurate on and as of such Closing Date.
ARTICLE VI - REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Section 6.1 Shelf Registration. The Company shall file a "shelf"
registration statement on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act (the "Shelf
Registration") covering all of the Common Stock into which the Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible (the "Registrable Securities") within ninety (90)
days from the Closing and shall use its best efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration to be declared effective and to keep the Shelf Registration
continuously effective until all of the Registrable Securities registered
therein cease to be Registrable Securities. The securities shall cease to be
Registrable Securities when (a) the Shelf Registration shall have become
effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed
of pursuant to the Shelf Registration, or (b) such securities shall have been
sold as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company agrees, if
necessary, to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration, as required by the
registration form utilized by the Company or by the instructions applicable to
such registration form or by the Securities Act, and the Company agrees to
furnish to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of any such
supplement or amendment prior to its being used.
5

Section 6.2 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Furnish to the Purchaser such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by him;
(b) Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Purchaser, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify as a broker-dealer in any states
or jurisdictions or to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(c) Notify the purchaser of Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto and
covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(d) In the event of the notification provided for in Section
6.2(c) above, the Company shall use its best efforts to prepare and file with
the SEC (and to provide copies thereof to the Purchaser) as soon as reasonably
possible an amended prospectus complying with the Securities Act.
(e) For so long as the Purchaser holds beneficially or of
record (including shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock) five percent (5%) or more of the shares of Common Stock from time to time
outstanding, the Purchaser shall agree to any restrictions on his resale of the
Registrable Securities, whether in public or non-public transactions, for a
period not in excess of ninety (90) days in any period of twelve (12)
consecutive months, as required by the managing underwriter, representative or
selling agent of any public or private offering of securities by the Company and
shall execute and deliver to the Company and such managing underwriter,
representative or selling agent an agreement to such effect, if each other
director and executive officer of the Company and holder of five percent (5%) or
more of the shares of Common Stock from time to time outstanding likewise agrees
to such restrictions on resale and executes and delivers such an agreement.
Section 6.3 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than
underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred in connection with the
registration or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section,
including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees,
printer's expenses, and accounting and legal fees and expenses of the Company,
shall be borne by the Company.

Section 6.4 Indemnification Regarding Registration Rights. If any
Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this
Section:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless the Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(joint or several) or any legal or other costs and expenses reasonably incurred
by him in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action to which he may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (each a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact with respect to the Company or its securities
contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements therein;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact with
respect to the Company or its securities required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.4(a) shall
not apply and the Company shall not be liable (i) in any such case for any such
loss, claim, damage, costs, expenses, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any the Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person,
or (ii) for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser who
participates in a registration pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors
and officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, each of the Company's employees, agents, counsel and
representatives, any underwriter and any other person or entity selling
securities in such registration statement, against any losses, claims, damages,
costs, expenses, liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, employee, agent, representative,
underwriter, or such other person or entity, may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, only insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or liabilities or actions in
respect thereto arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent and only to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by the Purchaser expressly
for use in connection with such. The Purchaser will indemnify any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer,
employee, agent representative, controlling person, underwriter or such person
or entity, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6.4(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such loss, claim, damage, costs, expenses, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7
9
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6.4 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.4, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 6.4, except
to the extent that the failure results in a failure of actual notice to the
indemnifying party and such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action solely as a result of the failure to give such
notice.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under this Section 6.4 in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or actions referred to
herein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a result of such losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or
actions in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Company, on the one hand and of the Purchaser, on the other, in connection
with the Violation that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, costs,
expenses, liabilities or actions. The relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and of the Purchaser, on the other, shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of the
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e) The Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the
other hand, agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6.4 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of losses, claims, damages,
costs, expenses, liabilities and actions referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 6.4, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the securities were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which the Company or the Purchaser has otherwise been required to
pay by reason of such Violation. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 6.5 Reports Under the Exchange Act. So long as the Company has
a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act,
with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any
time permit a Purchaser to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration or pursuant to a shelf registration on Form S-3, if applicable, the
Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times;
(b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(c) Use its best efforts to include, upon notice of issuance,
all Common Stock covered by such registration statement on NASDAQ National
Market if the Common Stock is then quoted on NASDAQ National Market; or list all
Common Stock covered by such registration statement on such securities exchange
on which any of the Common Stock is then listed; or, if the Common Stock is not
then quoted on NASDAQ National Market or listed on any national securities
exchange, use its best efforts to have such Common Stock covered by such
registration statement quoted on NASDAQ National Market or, at the option of the
Company, listed on a national securities exchange; and
(d) Furnish to the Purchaser, so long as the Purchaser owns
any Registrable Securities, (i) forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other SEC reports and
documents so filed by the Company, and (ii) such other information (but not any
opinion of counsel) as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser seeking to
avail himself of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of
any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
Section 6.6 Assignment of Registration Rights. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the right to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned by the
Purchaser to any transferee or assignee of such securities; provided that said
transferee or assignee is a transferee or assignee of at least ten percent (10%)
of the Registrable Securities and provided that the Company is, within a
reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name
and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to
which such registration rights are being assigned; and provided, further, that
such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Securities Act; it being the intention that so long as the
Purchaser holds any Registrable Securities hereunder, either Purchaser or his
transferee or assignee of at least ten percent (10%) may exercise the
registration rights hereunder. Other than as set forth above, the parties hereto
hereby agree that the registration rights hereunder shall not be transferable or
assigned and any contemplated transfer or assignment in contravention of this
Agreement shall be deemed null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
