REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.1 Representation and Warranties of the Company. The Company
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchasers,
except as set forth in the Company's disclosure schedules delivered with this
Agreement:
(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 and to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations
hereunder. The Company does not have any subsidiaries or own securities of any
kind in any other entity, except as set forth in the Company's (i) Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (the "Form 10-K); (ii)
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2000 and
March 31, 2000 (collectively, the "Form 10-Q"); and (iii) all of the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") prior to the
date hereof (collectively, the "Commission Documents") or in Schedule 2.1(g)
hereto. The Company and each 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 (as defined hereinafter) on the Company's financial condition.
For the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any adverse
effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, assets 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 obligation
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 its obligations under this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement attached as
Exhibit D hereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the Transfer Agent
Instructions (as defined in Section 3.14 hereof) and the Warrants (collectively,
the "Transaction Documents") and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with
the term hereof and the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of
each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or the Company's board of directors or its
stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company. The Registration Rights Agreement will have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company on or before the Closing Date. Each of the Transaction
Documents 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
3
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 issued and outstanding as of the date hereof are set forth on
Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock have been duly and validly authorized. Except as set forth in this

any other securities issued by 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 the Registration
Rights Agreement and as set forth 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 on the Commission Documents
or 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. 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 the Commission Documents or 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 Articles of
Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the "Articles"), and the
Company's Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the "Bylaws").

been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for or

by all necessary corporate action and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid
and non-assessable, and free from preemptive rights, taxes upon issuance, liens
and other similar charges caused by the Company, and the holders shall be
entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
4
(e) No Conflicts. Except as set forth in the Commission Documents or
Schedule 2.1(e) attached hereto, the execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated herein and therein do not and will not (i) violate any
provision of the Company's Articles or Bylaws, (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, mortgage, deed of trust,
indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to
which the Company is a party or by which any of its respective properties or
assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest,
charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever 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 (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 clause (i) 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. The Company is not required under federal, state 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
Transaction Documents, or issue and sell the Shares and the Warrant Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than any filings which may be
required to be made by the Company with the Commission or state securities
administrators subsequent to a Closing, 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 Purchasers herein.

Company has not provided to the Purchasers any material non-public information
or other information which, according to applicable law, rule or regulation,
should have been disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so

Agreement. The financial statements of the Company furnished to the Purchasers

time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other
subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary
have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and
non-assessable. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(g) there are no outstanding
preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements granted
or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of
any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other securities
convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any
shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject
to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire
or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible
securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding
sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is party to, nor has any
knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of
the capital stock of any subsidiary.
(h) No Material Adverse Change. Since June 30, 2000, the date through
which the most recent report of the Company has been prepared and filed with the
Commission (a copy of which is included in the Commission Documents) the Company
has not experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed
on Schedule 2.1(h) hereto.
(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as disclosed in the Commission
Documents or on Schedule 2.1(i) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether
liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent
or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's
or its subsidiaries respective businesses since June 30, 2000, and which,
individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(j) 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
6
regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which
has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.
(k) Indebtedness. The Commission Documents or Schedule 2.1(k) hereto
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any

$100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in
respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be
reflected in the Company's balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except
guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or
similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present
value of any lease payments in excess of $100,000 due under leases required to
be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(k),
neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(l) Title to Assets. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has good
and marketable title to all of its real and personal property, free of any
mortgages, pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances,
except for those indicated in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(l)
hereto or such that, individually or in the aggregate, do not cause a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company's financial condition or operating results. Except
as described in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(l) hereto, all said
leases of the Company and each of its subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and
in full force and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no action, suit,
claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened, against or involving

liability (whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever, whether pending
or threatened against the Company or any subsidiary for any period, nor of any
basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
(p) Certain Fees. The Company has not employed any broker or finder or

thereof, websites and intellectual property rights relating thereto, service

respect to the foregoing, which are necessary for the conduct of its business as
now conducted without any conflict with the rights of others except as disclosed
in the Commission Documents or on Schedule 2.1(q).
(r) Environmental Compliance. Except as disclosed in the Commission
Documents or on Schedule 2.1(r) 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

Warrants will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate
purposes.

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

any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA or
in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided that, if any of the
Purchasers, or any person or entity that owns a beneficial interest in any of
the Purchasers, is an "employee pension 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) of ERISA), the requirements of
Sections 407(d)(5) and 408(e) of ERISA, if applicable, are met. As used in this

accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on
the ownership interest of other stockholders of the Company.
(bb) No Integrated Offering. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause
this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of
any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the Securities of the

resale of the Securities on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the 1933

entity, the Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership
duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, and the Purchaser
was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(b) Authorization and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to purchase the Shares and the Warrants
being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the
documents contemplated hereby by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the
Purchaser or its board of directors, stockholders, members, managers or
partners, as the case may be, is required. Each of this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement will have been duly
executed and delivered by the Purchaser on the closing Date. Each of this
Agreement, the Registration rights Agreement and the Escrow 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, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the
documents contemplated hereby and thereby and the consummation by the Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto
do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Purchaser's charter
documents, by-laws, partnership agreement, operating agreement or other
organizational documents, or (ii) conflict with, 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
12
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, prohibit
or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Purchaser to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. 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, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the
documents contemplated hereby and thereby or to purchase the Shares or the
Warrants 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 Shares
and the Warrants and will be acquiring the Warrant Shares solely for its own
account, for investment only and not with a view towards the public sale or
distribution thereof. The Purchaser agrees not to sell, assign or otherwise
transfer any of its Securities except in accordance with federal and state
securities laws applicable to such disposition. The Purchaser acknowledges that
it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the
Securities and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company
and its subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and its subsidiaries as
it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence
investigation. The Purchaser is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an
investment in the Securities by virtue of its experience as an investor and its
knowledge, experience and sophistication in financial and business matters and
the Purchaser is capable of bearing the entire loss of its investment in the
Securities.

defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and is a resident
of the state indicated on Exhibit A hereto.
(f) Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that the Securities must be
held indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act
or an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that
the Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations 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, it will
be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the
Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration
requirement.
(g) Intentionally Omitted.
(h) Information. The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities
which have been requested by the Purchaser. The
13
Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from,
the executive officers of the Company the financial and other affairs of the
Company. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it
has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
its acquisition of the Securities. The Purchaser understands that it (and not
the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as
a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has also had the
opportunity to obtain and to review the Commission Documents.
(i) No Solicitation. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares and the
Warrants 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, articles,
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.
(j) No Endorsement. The Purchaser understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
(including, without limitation, the SEC) has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
(k) General. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Warrants
are being offered and sold, and the Warrant Shares are being offered, to the
Purchaser in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirement
of federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the
truth and accuracy of, and the compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understanding of the Purchaser set forth herein
in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares and the Warrants and to receive an offer
of the Warrant Shares.
(l) No Commissions or Similar Fees. In connection with the purchase of
the Shares and Warrants by the Purchaser, the Purchaser has not and will not
pay, and has no knowledge of the payment of, any commission or other direct or
indirect remuneration to any person or entity for soliciting or otherwise
coordinating the purchase of such securities, except as set forth on Schedule
2.2(l) hereto. All such persons or entities listed on Schedule 2.2(l) hereto are
duly licensed and/or registered to engage in securities offering and selling
activities (or are exempt from such licensing and/or registration requirements)
under applicable federal laws and the laws of the state(s) in which such
activities have taken place in connection with the transaction contemplated by
this agreement.

COVENANTS
The Company covenants with each of the Purchasers, for so long as the
Shares and/or the Warrants remain outstanding, as follows (which covenants are
for the benefit of the Purchasers and its permitted assignees):

(a) The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with their
rules and regulations of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction

the SEC.
Section 3.3 Inspection Rights. The Company shall permit, during normal
business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser

represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all voting
securities then outstanding, to examine and make reasonable copies of and
extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the
properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary,
and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any
subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.
Section 3.4 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause
each subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.5 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall
keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in
which entries will be made in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied, reflecting all material financial
transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal
year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence,
amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its
business shall be made.
Section 3.6 Reporting Requirements The Company shall furnish the
following, if and when applicable, to each of the Purchasers so long as such
Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Shares or shall own
Shares which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined

the Company shall not be obligated to furnish the following, if the following
reports have been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the

(a) Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q, as soon as
available, and in any event within fifteen (15) days after filing such report

such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock.
Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any
provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Company, or the Registration Rights
Agreement in any way that would adversely affect the dividends rights, exercise
rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the holders of the Shares, the
Warrants or the Warrant Shares.
16
Section 3.8 Other Agreements The Company shall not enter into any
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 Reservation of Shares. 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, no less than 100% of
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the
issuance of the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.10 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer
agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its
respective nominee(s), for the Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon issuance of
the Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto
(the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior to registration of the
Shares and 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 3.10 will be given by the Company
to its transfer agent and that the Shares and the Warrant Shares shall otherwise
be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing
in this Section 3.10 shall affect in any way each Purchaser's obligations and
agreements set forth in Section 5.1 to comply with all applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Shares or 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
Shares or Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities
Act or such Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Shares or the Warrant Shares 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 Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent
to issue one (1) or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.10 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 3.10 will
be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 3.10, 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.

ARTICLE V
STOCK CERTIFICATE LEGEND
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Shares, the Warrants, and
the securities issued upon exercise thereof, as applicable and appropriate,
shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable federal,
provincial or 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 STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR XYBERNAUT CORPORATION (THE "COMPANY") SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION IN FORM, SCOPE AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE
TO THE COMPANY, OF COUNSEL, WHO IS REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT
REQUIRED.
21
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing the Shares,
Warrants or Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time,
prior to making any transfer of any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares 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 and
such holder otherwise complies with the terms of the Transaction Documents. The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares upon which it is stamped if, unless otherwise required by federal or
state securities laws, (a) the sale of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares
is registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule
416 thereunder) as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement (b) such
holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the
effect that a sale or transfer of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares may be
made without registration under the Securities Act; or (c) such holder provides
the Company with reasonable assurances that such Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares can be sold under Rule 144(k). Each of the Purchasers agrees that it will
only sell Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, including those represented by a
certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, pursuant to an effective
registration statement, under an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144(k). In the event the above
legend is removed from any Shares, Warrant or Warrant Shares and the
effectiveness of a registration statement covering such Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or
amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon
reasonable advance notice to the Purchasers the Company may require that the
above legend be placed on any such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares that
cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, under an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under Rule
144(k) and the Purchasers shall cooperate in the replacement of such legend.
Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares may again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, under
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under
Rule 144(k). 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.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be
terminated at any time prior to any Closing by the mutual written consent of the
Company and the Purchasers.
Section 6.2 Other Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the
action of the board of directors of the Company or by the Purchasers at any time
if the Closing shall not have been consummated by the Closing Date, as long as
the failure to so consummate is not the fault of the terminating party.
22
Section 6.3 Termination of Closing. If the Closing has not occurred on
or prior to the Closing Date, those sections and provisions relating to the
Closing in this Agreement may be terminated by the action of the board of
directors of the Company or by the Purchasers as long as the failure to
consummate the Closing is not the fault of the terminating party.
Section 6.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the
Company or the Purchasers of this Agreement or any part hereof, written notice
thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement shall be
terminated without further action by either party. If this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 6.1 or 6.2 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 6.4 shall be deemed to release the
Company or any Purchaser from any liability for any breach under this Agreement
or the Registration Rights 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 and the Registration Rights Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 7.1 General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchasers (and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents,
successors and assigns) from and against any and all actual losses, liabilities,
deficiencies, costs, damages and reasonable expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
the Purchasers as a result of any breach of the covenants, representations and
warranties made by the Company herein. Each of the Purchasers agrees, severally
and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors,
officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and
all actual losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and
disbursements) incurred by the Company as a result of any false representation
or warranty or any breach of the covenants made by such Purchaser herein,
provided, however, such Purchaser's indemnification obligations shall not exceed
such Purchaser's Purchase Price.
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 materially 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, unless in
the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between
it and the indemnifying party may
23
exist with respect of such action, an action, a proceeding or a 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 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, 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 or claim. 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld), 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
