and sale of 1,416,667 shares (the "Initial Preferred Shares") of its previously
authorized but unissued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001
par value (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $6.00 per
share to the persons (collectively, the "Purchasers" and, individually, a
"Purchaser") and in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule I hereto. The
designation, rights, preferences and other terms and conditions relating to the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be as set forth on Exhibit 1.01A hereto (the
"Certificate of Designations").
1.02 The Additional Preferred Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Company has authorized the issuance at an Additional Closing (as
hereinafter defined) of up to an additional 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (said additional 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock being
sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Additional
Preferred Shares;" and the Initial Preferred Shares and the Additional Preferred
Shares being sometimes collectively referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
1.03 The Converted Shares. The Company has authorized and has reserved and
covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other
preferential rights, a suffIcient number of its previously authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy the rights of conversion of the

1.04 The Shares. The Purchased Shares and the Converted Shares are

Page 27 of 70
1.05 Purchase Price and Closings.
(a) The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and,
subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants,
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not
jointly, agree to purchase that number of the Initial Preferred Shares set forth
opposite their respective names in Schedule I. The aggregate purchase price of
the Initial Preferred Shares being purchased by each Purchaser is set forth
opposite such Purchaser's name in Schedule I. The initial purchase and sale
shall take place at a closing (the "Initial Closing") to be held at the offices
of Messrs. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP, High Street Tower, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, on November 6, 1996, at 10:00 A.M., or at such
other location, on such other date and at such time as may be mutually agreed
upon. At the Initial Closing, the Company will issue and deliver certificates
evidencing the Initial Preferred Shares to be sold at such Initial Closing to
each of the Purchasers (or its nominee) against payment of the full purchase
price therefor by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company.
(b) The Additional Closing. Provided that the Company is not then in
default under this Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 2.04, the
Company may, with the written consent of a majority in interest of the
Purchasers, upon not less than 10 days' notice given prior to May 6, 1997, offer
to the Purchasers the option to purchase, and each Purchaser may, at its option,
so purchase, subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties,
terms and conditions of this Agreement and upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, that number of Additional Preferred Shares set forth
opposite the name of such Purchaser on Schedule I attached hereto, under the
heading "Additional Preferred Shares." Any Additional Preferred Shares not
subscribed for by the Purchasers pursuant to the previous sentence (the
"Shortfall Shares") may be purchased by the Purchasers that did subscribe for
Additional Preferred Shares pursuant to the previous sentence (the
"Participating Purchasers"). Each Participating Purchaser shall have the right
to purchase up to that number of Shortfall Shares as shall be determined by
multiplying the total number of Shortfall Shares by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the sum of the Initial Preferred Shares and the Additional
Preferred Shares subscribed for by such Participating Purchaser, and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of Initial Preferred Shares and
Additional Preferred Shares, in each case subscribed for by all such
Participating Purchasers. Any Shortfall Shares not so subscribed for pursuant to
this Section 1.05(b) shall be subscribed for by Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Strategic
Partners Fund, L.P. and/or Strategic Associates, L.P. in proportions to be
determined in the sole discretion of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC. In the
event that the Shortfall Shares to be subscribed for by a Participating
Purchaser is determined to include fractional shares, such Participating
Purchaser shall be permitted to purchase the number of shares determined by
rounding such Participating Purchaser's allocated number of Shortfall Shares to
the nearest whole number. The per share purchase price for each such Additional
Preferred Share (as constituted on the date hereof) to be purchased pursuant to
this Agreement shall be $6.00. Such purchase and sale of Additional Preferred
Shares, if any, shall take place at a closing (the "Additional Closing") at the
offices of Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP, High Street Tower, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, on such date or dates as the Company and the
Purchasers may agree, but in all events on or prior to May 6, 1997. At the
Additional Closing the Company will issue and deliver the certificates
evidencing the Additional Preferred Shares sold at such Additional Closing to
each of the Purchasers (or its nominee) against payment of the full purchase
price therefor by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company.
1.06 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of
the Purchased Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Secretary of the Company to be true, complete and correct in every

necessary corporate or other action and governmental approvals, if any,
with respect to this Agreement and the Shares.
(b) The opinion of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel to the Company,
substantially to the effect that:
(i) The Company and its corporate subsidiary are corporations
duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation. The
Company's limited liability company subsidiary is a limited
liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is
not licensed or qualified as a foreign limited liability company in
any jurisdiction. To the knowledge of such counsel, Schedule III to
this Agreement contains a complete list of all subsidiaries of the
Company and the Company's equity interest therein. The Company is
duly licensed or qualified to transact business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and each other
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property. Each of the
Company and its subsidiaries has the corporate power or entity
power, as the case may be, and authority to own and hold its
properties and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The
Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Stockholders' Agreement, to issue, sell and deliver the
Purchased Shares and, upon conversion thereof, to issue and deliver
the Converted Shares.
(ii) This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Stockholders' Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and
Page 29 of 70
delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to the
discretion of courts in awarding equitable relief and to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally), except that such
counsel need not express any opinion as to the validity or
enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions of
the Registration Rights Agreement.
(iii) The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders'
Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder, the issuance, sale and delivery of the
Purchased Shares and, upon conversion thereof, the issuance and
delivery of the Converted Shares, will not violate any provision of
law, the Charter or By-laws, as amended, of the Company, any order
of any court or other agency of government or any indenture,
agreement or other instrument known to such counsel to which the
Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or
assets is bound, or conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, or result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, restriction,
claim or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries. In
rendering the foregoing opinion, such counsel may assume full
disclosure to the Purchasers of all material facts and, with respect
to performance by the Company of its obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement, may assume compliance by the Company
at such time with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and with applicable state securities laws and may disclaim any
opinion as to the validity or enforceability of the indemnification
and contribution provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(iv) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
(i) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 1,666,667 shares
have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii)
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Closing,
1,471,480 shares of Common Stock will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability
attaching to the ownership thereof and no shares of Preferred Stock
will have been issued. The designations, powers, preferences,
rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions in respect of
each class or series of authorized capital stock of the Company are
as set forth in the Charter, and all such designations, powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions
are valid, binding and enforceable and in accordance with all
applicable laws (subject, as to enforcement, to the discretion of
courts in awarding equitable relief and to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally). Except as set forth in Schedule
IV, to the knowledge of such counsel, immediately prior to the
Closing no subscription, warrant, option, convertible security, or
other right (contingent or other) to purchase or acquire equity
securities of the Company will be authorized or outstanding and
there will be no commitment by the Company to issue shares,
subscriptions, warrants, options, convertible securities, or other
such rights
Page 30 of 70
or to distribute to holders of any of its equity securities any
evidence of indebtedness or asset. Except as set forth in Schedule
IV or as provided for in the Charter, to the knowledge of such
counsel the Company has no obligation (contingent or other) to
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its equity securities
or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any other
distribution in respect thereof.
(v) The issuance, sale and delivery of the Purchased Shares
and the issuance and delivery of the Converted Shares upon
conversion of the Purchased Shares have been duly authorized by all
required corporate action. Upon payment therefore in accordance with
this Agreement, the Purchased Shares will have been validly issued,
are fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability
attaching to the ownership thereof and, to the knowledge of such
counsel, are free and clear of all liens, charges, restrictions,
claims and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company except as
set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders'
Agreement and as imposed by applicable federal and state securities
laws; and the Converted Shares have been duly reserved for issuance
upon conversion of the Purchased Shares and, when so issued, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof and, to the knowledge
of such counsel, will be free and clear of all liens, charges,
restrictions, claims and encumbrances imposed by or through the
Company except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and
the Stockholders' Agreement and as imposed by applicable federal and
state securities laws. Neither the issuance, sale or delivery of the
Purchased Shares nor the issuance or delivery of the Converted
Shares is subject to any preemptive right of stockholders of the
Company arising under law or the Charter or By-laws of the Company,
each as amended, or, to the knowledge of such counsel, to any
contractual right of first refusal or other right in favor of any
person.
(vi) Except as described in Schedule II, to the knowledge of
such counsel there is no (A) action, suit, claim, proceeding or
investigation pending or threatened against or affecting the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, at law or in equity, or before or by any
federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, (B) arbitration proceeding relating to the Company or any
of its subsidiaries pending under collective bargaining agreements
or (C) governmental inquiry pending or threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, any inquiry as to the qualification of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries to hold or receive any license or permit).
To the knowledge of such counsel, neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries is in default with respect to any order, writ,
injunction or decree known to such counsel of any court or of any
federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign.
(vii) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Article III, no
registration or filing with, and no consent or approval of, or other
action by any federal, state or other governmental agency or
instrumentality is or will be necessary for the
Page 31 of 70
valid execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders'
Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Purchased Shares
or, upon conversion thereof, the issuance and delivery of the
Converted Shares, other than filings pursuant to state securities
laws (all of which filings, other than those which are required to
be made after the Closing, have been made by the Company). In
rendering the foregoing opinion with respect to performance by the
Company of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement,
such counsel may assume compliance by the Company at such time with
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and with
applicable state securities laws and may disclaim any opinion as to
the validity or enforceability of the indemnification and
contribution provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(c) A certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company which shall certify the names of the officers of the Company
authorized to sign this Agreement, the certificates for the Purchased
Shares and the other documents, instruments or certificates to be

option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
any such equity security or any such debt security of the Company, unless in
each case the Company shall have first offered to sell such securities (the
"Offered Securities") to the Purchasers as follows: The Company shall offer to
sell to each Purchaser (a) that portion of the Offered Securities as the number
of shares of Purchased Shares and Converted Shares then held by such Purchaser,
as the case may be, bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock,
Purchased Shares and Converted Shares outstanding on such date (the "Basic
Amount"), and (b) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such
Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase should the other Purchasers subscribe
for less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), at a price
and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing
delivered to such Purchaser (the "Offer"), which Offer by its terms shall remain
open and irrevocable for a period of twenty (20) days from receipt of the Offer.
6.02 Notice of Acceptance. Notice of each Purchaser's intention to accept,
in whole or in part, any Offer made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be evidenced
by a writing signed by such Purchaser and delivered to the Company prior to the
end of the 20-day period of such Offer, setting forth such of the Purchaser's
Basic Amount as such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall
elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, such Undersubscription Amount as such
Purchaser shall elect to purchase (the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the Basic
Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total Offered
Securities, then each Purchaser who has set forth Undersubscription Amounts in
its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic
Amounts subscribed for, all Undersubscription Amounts it has subscribed for;
provided, however, that should the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for
exceed the difference between the Offered Securities and the Basic Amounts
subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription
Page 51 of 70
Amount"), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount
shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available
Undersubscription Amount as the Undersubscription Amount subscribed for by such
Purchaser bears to the total Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for by all
Purchasers, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent it
reasonably deems necessary.
6.03 Conditions to Acceptances and Purchase.
(a) Permitted Sales of Refused Securities. In the event that Notices

Securities, the Company shall have seventy-five (75) days from the expiration of
the period set forth in Section 6.01 to close the sale of all or any part of
such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by
the Purchasers (the "Refused Securities") to the Person or Persons specified in
the Offer, but only for cash and/or debt securities and otherwise in all
respects upon terms and conditions, including, without limitation, unit price
and interest rates, which are no more favorable, in the aggregate, to such other
Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the
Offer.
(b) Reduction in Amount of Offered Securities. In the event the
Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such
sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 6.03(a) above),
then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce
the number, or other units, of the Offered Securities specified in its
respective Notices of Acceptance to an amount which shall be not less than the
amount of the Offered Securities which the Purchaser elected to purchase
pursuant to Section 6.02 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which
shall be the amount of Offered Securities which the Company actually proposes to
sell, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered
Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or
amount of Offered Securities specified in its respective Notices of Acceptance,
the Company may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of
the Offered Securities until such securities have again been offered to the
Purchasers in accordance with Section 6.01.
(c) Closing. Upon the closing, which shall include full payment to
the Company, of the sale to such other Person or Persons of all or less than all
the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, and the

in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 6.03(b) if the
Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Offer. The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in
all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the
Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers and their
respective counsel.
6.04 Further Sale. In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased by
the Purchasers or other Person or Persons in accordance with Section 6.03 may
not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the
Purchasers under the procedures specified in Sections 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03.
