The Company represents and warrants to the Subscriber that, except as
disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions delivered by the Company concurrently
with the execution hereof (the "Disclosure Schedule"):
3.1. Company Status. The Company has registered its Common Stock pursuant
--------------
to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, is in full compliance with all
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company has maintained all
requirements for the continued listing of its Common Stock, and such Common
Stock is currently listed on the Exchange.
3.2. Current Public Information. The Exchange Act Reports listed in
--------------------------
Section 3.2 of the Disclosure Schedule are the only filings made by the Company
since December 31, 1996 pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.
3.3. No Directed Selling Efforts or General Solicitation in Regard to this
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Transaction. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates nor any distributor
-----------
or any person acting on its or their behalf has conducted any "directed selling
efforts" with respect to the Preferred Stock, the Put Shares or the Warrants nor
has the Company conducted any general solicitation (as that term is used in
Regulation D) with respect to any of the Securities, nor has any such person
made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities
under the Act.
3.4. Capitalization; Valid Issuance of Securities and Capital Stock. The
--------------------------------------------------------------
Company has an authorized capitalization consisting of 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which, as of June 26, 1997,
37,219,252 shares are issued and outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 100,000 shares are designated as
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, none
of which are issued or outstanding, and stock options granted to employees as
described in the Exchange Act Reports. There are no other outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, or securities or rights convertible
into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital
stock of the Company or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound
to issue additional shares of its capital stock. All of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly
authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; upon issuance of
the Securities, the Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable; the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock and the Put Shares and exercise of the Warrants, when issued and
delivered in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and the
Warrants, respectively, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable; and the holders of outstanding capital stock of the Company are not
and shall not be entitled to preemptive or other rights afforded by the Company
to subscribe for the capital stock or other securities of the Company as a
result of the sale of the Securities or the issuance of Common Stock upon the
conversion or exercise thereof. The Company has not granted any holders of
outstanding capital stock of the Company registration rights, except as
disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports. The issuance of the Preferred Stock, the
Put Shares or the Warrants will not cause any antidilution or similar adjustment
to the conversion or exchange rate of outstanding options or convertible
securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock. As of the First
Closing Date, the Company shall have filed the Certificate of Designation, and
all of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock shall be as
set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
3.5. Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its
------------------------------
subsidiaries, if any, is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has
the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business
as now being conducted. The Company does not have any active subsidiaries,
except for those listed in the Exchange Act Reports. The Company and each such
subsidiary, if any, 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
other than those in which the failure so to qualify would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. "Material Adverse Effect" means any effect on the business,
-----------------------
operations, properties or prospects, or financial condition of the entity and
its subsidiaries, with respect to which such term is used and which is material
and adverse to such entity, its subsidiaries and any other entity controlling or
controlled by such entity, on a consolidated basis, and/or any condition or
situation which would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the
entity and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, with respect to which said
term is used to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
3.6. Authorization; Enforcement. (i) The Company has the requisite
--------------------------
corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to
issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants by the Company
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including without limitation the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or
exercise thereof, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors
or stockholders is required (except shareholder approval for the issuance of
Underlying Stock and Warrant Stock to the extent that the aggregate amount of
such Underlying Stock and Warrant Stock exceeds 20%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Initial Closing Date); (iii)
this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company,
and (iv) this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights
Agreement and Warrants constitute, and upon issuance and delivery thereof the
Certificate of Designation and Warrants shall be, valid and binding obligations
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
3.7. Corporate Documents. The Company has furnished or made available to
-------------------
the Subscriber true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation as amended and in effect on the date hereof (the "Certificate"),
-----------
and the Company's By-Laws as amended and in effect on the date hereof (the
"By-Laws").
-------
3.8. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company
------------
of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Warrants and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation the
issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise thereof, do not and
will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate or By-Laws 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 Company or any of its subsidiaries is a
party, or result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law,
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 is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect);
provided, that, for purposes of such representation as to federal, state, local
-------- ----
or foreign law, rule or regulation, no representation is made herein with
respect to any of the same applicable solely to the Subscriber and not to the
Company. The business of the Company is not being conducted in violation of any
law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, in any manner that is
inconsistent with or in violation of the Certificate or By-laws, or in violation
of any contract or agreement to which the Company is a party, except for
possible violations which either singly or in the aggregate do not and will not
have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation in the United States 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, the Certificate of Designation, the
Registration Rights Agreement or any of the Securities or to issue and sell the
Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (other than any SEC,
NASD, Exchange or state securities filings which may be required to be made by
the Company from time to time, and any registration statement which may be filed
pursuant hereto); provided, that, for purposes of the representation made in
-------- ----
this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the
relevant representations and agreements of the Subscriber herein.
3.9. Exchange Act Reports. The Company has delivered or made available to
--------------------
the Subscriber true and complete copies of the Exchange Act Reports (including,
without limitation, proxy information and solicitation materials). The Company
has not provided to the Subscriber any information which, according to
applicable law, rule or regulation, should have been disclosed publicly prior to
the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so disclosed. As of their
respective dates, the Exchange Act Reports complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act and rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations applicable to such Exchange Act Reports, and none of the Exchange
Act Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the
Exchange Act Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC or
other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i)
as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto
or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not
include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present
in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates
thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments). As of the First Closing Date, the Company has filed all reports
required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act and is otherwise
eligible to effect registration of its Common Stock on Form S-3.
3.10. No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 1997, except as set
--------------------------
forth on the Disclosure Schedule, no event or circumstance has occurred or
arisen which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
on the Company or its subsidiaries. Since March 31, 1997, neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries has (i) incurred or become subject to any material
liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) discharged or satisfied
any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability
(absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) declared or made any
payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with respect
to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made agreements to purchase
or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (iv) sold, assigned or transferred
any other tangible assets with a value greater than $5,000,000 in the aggregate,
or canceled any debts or claims, except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practices; (v) suffered any substantial losses or waived
any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business,
or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (vi) made any
changes in employee compensation except in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practices; or (vii) experienced any material problems with
labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their
employment.
3.11. No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries have
--------------------------
no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the
aggregate, and are not disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, other than those
incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's or its subsidiaries' respective
businesses since December 31, 1996 and which, individually or in the aggregate,
do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.
3.12. No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. No event or circumstance
--------------------------------------
has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition,
which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or
announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so
publicly announced or disclosed.
3.13. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
----------------------
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, at any time since September 30, 1996, made any offers or sales of
any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances
that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act in connection with the offer
and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.
3.14. No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise
-- -------
to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments by the Subscriber relating to this Agreement, the Certificate of
Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants, for the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
3.15. Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Exchange Act
------- -- ----------
Reports, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or organization or body
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, wherein
an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.16. Intellectual Property Rights. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16,
------------ -------- ------
there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the
Company's knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or any of its

subsidiaries of any trademarks, trade name rights, patents, patent rights,
copyrights, inventions, licenses, service names, service marks, service xxxx

----- -- ---------- --- ------- ------ ---
and marketable title to its tangible properties and assets (including the
Company's real property described in Section 3.17 of the Disclosure Schedule),
subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge, other than liens
resulting from taxes which have not yet become delinquent and liens and
encumbrances which do not in any case materially detract from the value of the
property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company.
3.18. Tax Status. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the
--- ------
Company and each of its subsidiaries has made or filed all federal and state
income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any
jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the
Company and each of its subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith, and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequently to the periods to which such returns, reports or

------------------------
4.1. Registration Rights. The Company agrees that, at the First Closing,
-------------------
it will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Subscriber.
4.2. Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has
---------------------------
reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all
times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy any obligation to issue
shares of its Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the Put
Shares or exercise of the Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
initially reserved 6,000,000 shares. The number of shares so reserved may be
reduced by the number of shares actually delivered pursuant to conversion of
Preferred Stock and Put Shares or exercise of the Warrants (provided that in no
event shall the number of shares so reserved be less than 125% of the maximum
number required to satisfy the remaining conversion rights on the unconverted
Preferred Stock and Put Shares and the remaining exercise rights under
unexercised Warrants, without regard to any conversion restrictions under the
Certificate of Designation) and the number of shares so reserved shall be
increased to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and other distributions. If
the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
available to satisfy the Company's obligations to issue shares of its Common
Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and Put Shares (without regard to
any conversion restrictions under the Certification of Designation) or exercise
of the Warrants, each holder thereof shall have certain redemption rights
described in Section 7 of the Certificate of Designation.
4.3 Shareholder Approval. The Company shall use its reasonable best
--------------------
efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of the Underlying Stock
and Warrant Stock.
4.4. Listing of Underlying Shares. The Company hereby agrees, promptly
----------------------------
following the First Closing, to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Underlying Stock and the Warrant
Stock to be listed on the Exchange as promptly as possible. The Company further
agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other
principal stock exchange or market, it will include in such application the
Underlying Stock and the Warrant Stock and will take such other action as is
necessary or desirable to cause the Underlying Stock and the Warrant Stock to be
listed on such other exchange or market as promptly as possible.
4.5. Exchange Act Registration. The Company will cause its Common Stock to
-------------------------
continue to be registered under Section 12(g) or 12(b) of the Exchange Act, will
comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the
Exchange Act, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not
permitted by said Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such
registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations
under said Act. The Company will take all action under its control to continue
the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the Exchange and will comply in
all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under
the bylaws or rules of the NASD and the Exchange.
4.6. Legends. The shares of Underlying Stock and Warrant Stock and
-------
certificates evidencing the same shall, promptly upon the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, be free of legends, "stop transfers," "stock transfer
restrictions," or other restrictions, provided, that customary stock transfer
----------
restriction legends may appear on any certificate evidencing any of such shares
if the SEC or other governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction has
issued an active stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
4.7. Corporate Existence. The Company will take all steps necessary to
-------------------
preserve and continue its corporate existence.
5. LEGENDS.
-------
5.1. Legends. The Company will issue one or more Warrants and certificates
-------
representing the Preferred Stock, the Put Shares and the additional shares of
Preferred Stock issued pursuant to an Additional Purchase Notice in the name of
the Subscriber and, in the case of the Warrants, in such denominations (but not
less than 10,000 shares each) to be specified by the Subscriber prior to (or
from time to time subsequent to) the Closings. The Preferred Stock (including
the additional shares of Preferred Stock), the Put Shares, the Warrants and
certificates evidencing any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or
exercise thereof prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement will
bear the following legend (the "Legend"):
------
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND
ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
Prior to the First Closing, the Company will deliver to the transfer
agent for its Common Stock (and to any substitute or replacement transfer agent
for its Common Stock concurrently with the Company's appointment of any such
substitute or replacement transfer agent) instructions in substantially the form
and substance of the Transfer Agent Irrevocable Instruction. Such instructions
shall be irrevocable by the Company from and after the First Closing Date or
from and after the issuance thereof to any such substitute or replacement
transfer agent, as the case may be. It is the intent and purpose of such
instructions, as provided therein, to require the transfer agent for the Common
Stock from time to time to issue certificates evidencing Underlying Stock or
Warrant Stock free of the Legend at any time from and after the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement, and so long as no stop order, injunction or other
order of the SEC or other applicable governmental authority with appropriate
jurisdiction is then in effect suspending effectiveness of the Registration
Statement upon any surrender of one or more Warrants or certificates
representing the Preferred Stock or the Put Shares, as the case may be, for
conversion or exercise into Warrant Stock or Underlying Stock, as the case may
be without consultation by the transfer agent with the Company or its counsel
and without the need for any further advice or instruction to the transfer agent
by or from the Company or its counsel.
In addition, and if applicable, the Company shall reissue the Warrants and
certificates representing the Preferred Stock, the Put Shares, the Warrant Stock
or the Underlying Stock, as the case may be, without the Legend set forth above
at such time as the Holder thereof is permitted to dispose thereof pursuant to
Rule 144(k) under the Act.
5.2. No Other Legend or Stock Transfer Restrictions. No Legend has been or
----------------------------------------------
shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Securities and no
instructions or "stop transfers," "stock transfer restrictions," or other
restrictions have been or shall be given to the Company's transfer agent with
respect thereto other than as set forth in this Section 5.
5.3. Subscriber's Compliance. Nothing in this section shall affect in any
------------ ----------
way the Subscriber's obligations under and agreement to comply with all
applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.
6. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE.

proceeding by sending a copy thereof to such party by following the provision
