discretion of the Underwriter. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
share of Common Stock at $6.00 per share for a period of five years following
the date of this Prospectus. Each Warrant is redeemable by On-Site Sourcing,
Inc. (the "Company"), upon notice of not less than 30 days, at a price of $.01
per Warrant, provided that the closing bid price of the common stock is $7.00 or

THE COMPANY
On-Site Sourcing, Inc. (the "Company" or "On-Site") provides reprographic
and facilities management services to law firms, non-profit organizations,
accounting firms, financial institutions and other organizations throughout the
East Coast of the United States. In order to meet the highly specialized
requirements of each client, On-Site offers a variety of customized reprographic
and facilities management services. The Company provides reprographic services
24 hours per day, seven days per week including copying, binding, labeling,
collating and indexing in support of complex, document-intensive litigation as
well as higher volume productions of manuals, brochures and other materials for
corporations and non-profit organizations. On-Site also provides on-premises
management of the customer's support services including mailroom operations,
facsimile transmission, records and supply room management and copying services.
The Company services, refurbishes, leases and sells mid and high volume copy
machines through its copier service division, thereby minimizing critical down
time and increasing productivity at both the Company's reprographic centers and
its facilities management sites. On-Site assumes complete responsibility for
these operations through the provision of management personnel, highly-trained
staff, specialized proprietary software, equipment, supplies, copier repair and
consulting services.
The Company targets the premium service segment of the reprographics and
facilities management markets in which speed, accuracy and quality are critical.
Management believes that On-Site's extensive employee training and innovative
management techniques create efficiencies which allow the Company to provide
high quality service at economical prices. Additionally, the Company's use of
technology, including the proprietary SiteTrax and OATS software, dramatically
enhance labor productivity. On-Site's meticulous quality control process ensures
that each client's accuracy demands are met. Because the large majority of
potential customers still handle their own reprographic and related facilities
management internally, the Company believes that the Company's efficiency
provides opportunities for growth in the premium service market.
On-Site Sourcing, Inc. was founded in 1992 and currently serves the greater
Washington, Philadelphia, and Atlanta metropolitan areas through outsourcing
locations in Arlington, Virginia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlanta,
Georgia, as well as facilities management locations in Washington, DC;
Philadelphia, PA and Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. The Arlington, Virginia outsourcing
location is the largest legal processing center in the metropolitan Washington
area. The Company plans to expand service to the New York City metropolitan area
in the Summer of 1996. Customers include a number of the large law firms,
corporations and non-profit entities operating in these cities.
The Company was originally incorporated in Virginia in December, 1992 and
changed its state of incorporation to Delaware in January, 1996. The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 1111 N. 19th Street, Suite 404,
Arlington, Virginia 22209, and its telephone number is (703) 276-1123.

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF
RISK AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD THE LOSS OF THEIR
ENTIRE INVESTMENT. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS INHERENT IN AND AFFECTING THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND
THIS OFFERING BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY.
The Company began operations in June of 1993 and therefore has had only a
limited operating history upon which prospective investors may base an
evaluation of its performance. The Company is subject to the normal risks of any
start up business including unanticipated problems and unforeseen forms of
competition. See "Prospectus Summary -- The Company" and "Business".
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
To date, the Company has relied upon private placements of its equity
securities as well as bank loans to finance its working capital requirements.
The Company is dependent upon the proceeds from this offering in order to expand
operations into new geographic areas, integrate new technology into the
business, and fund the Company's working capital requirements. The Company
anticipates, based on current proposed plans and assumptions relating to its
operations, that the proceeds of this offering and cash flow from operations
will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated capital requirements. In the
event that the Company's plans change or prove to be inaccurate or if the
proceeds of this offering prove to be insufficient to fund its operations, the
Company may be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently
anticipated or may be required to curtail its planned expansion. There can be no
assurances that any additional financing will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing may involve substantial
dilution of the stock ownership percentage of the Company's then existing
stockholders. Moreover, financial and other covenants imposed by future lenders
might adversely affect the Company's ability to pay dividends and management's
ability to control the Company. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Managements'
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
COMPETITION.
The reprographics and facilities management businesses are highly
competitive. On-Site competes with numerous national and regional companies,
some of which are substantially larger and have greater financial resources than
the Company. There can be no assurances that future competition will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or
results of operations. See "Business -- Competition"
SENSITIVITY TO SERVICE ECONOMY.
The Company's business and results of operations are sensitive to the state
of the U.S. service economy, particularly the legal sector. In recessionary
periods, copy volumes may decline at individual sites due to fewer matters being
handled by the clients. Reduced copy volumes negatively affect the Company's
revenues and gross margins per site. In addition, customers may impose pricing
pressures on the Company due to their own reduced levels of profitability,
thereby adversely affecting the Company's gross margins and results of
operations. See "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY CUSTOMERS.
Two of the Company's customers, a large national law firm and a non-profit
organization, accounted for 10% and 18% of the Company's gross sales in 1995.
There can be no assurance that these customers will maintain their volume of
business with the Company. A loss of the Company's sales to these customers
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
unless other customers were found to provide the Company with similar revenues.
See "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

PROCEEDS TO BE USED FOR EXPANSION.
The Company currently intends to utilize approximately 20% of the net
proceeds of this offering for the expansion of its operations to new geographic
areas. The Company's ability to expand its operations in this manner depends on
a number of factors. See "Use of Proceeds".
PROCEEDS TO REPAY DEBT.
A portion of the proceeds of this offering will be used to repay debt
incurred prior to this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.
The success of the Company will be largely dependent on the personal efforts
of Christopher J. Weiler, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allen C.
Outlaw, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Larry F. Morris, Vice
President of Sales, and Anthony A. Kopsidas, Vice President of Operations. These
employees all have employment agreements and Christopher Weiler is covered by a
key-man life insurance policy for $1,000,000. The Company's growth and future
success will depend in large part on its ability to continue to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for such personnel
is intense and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be
successful in hiring, motivating or retaining such qualified personnel. The loss
of key personnel or the inability to hire or retain qualified personnel could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial
conditions. See "Business -- Employees" and "Management -- Directors, Executive
Officers and Key Employees" and "Management -- Employment Agreements".
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has
included in its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws provisions to eliminate
the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or
alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain
exceptions. See "Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters."
RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION.
As a result of the prior issuance of Common Stock by the Company, public
investors who purchase the Units will experience an immediate and substantial
dilution in net tangible book value of 60%, a $1.81 decrease from the $3.00
price per offering share, assuming the allocation of the full public offering
price to the shares of Common Stock included as part of the Units. See
"Dilution".
DIVIDEND POLICY.
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not
expect to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See
"Description of Securities -- Dividends."
AUTHORIZATION AND DISCRETIONARY ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.
The Company is currently authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share. The preferred stock is issuable in one or more
series with such rights, preferences, maturity dates and similar matters as the
Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time determine without any
further vote or action by the Company's stockholders. No Preferred stock is
currently outstanding. See "Description of Securities -- Preferred Stock."
SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL BY CURRENT OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Upon completion of this offering, the current executive officers and
directors of the Company and persons who may be deemed affiliates, as a group,
will beneficially own approximately 30.2% of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, assuming the exercise of any outstanding warrants and options held by
such individuals and their affiliates. As a result, officers and directors and
their affiliates voting together may be able to effectively control the decision
on such a matter, including the election of directors, if they were to agree.
See "Management".

POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY'S COUNSEL.
On-Site's corporate attorney, John S. Stoppelman, is a stockholder of the
Company holding 630,000 shares of common stock, or 24.4% of the shares
outstanding before this offering. Mr. Stoppelman serves as the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Secretary. Accordingly, there may be a conflict of
interest in Mr. Stoppelman's role as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as
the Company's counsel. The fees collected by the Stoppelman Law Firm from the
Company did not constitute five percent or more of his law firm's gross revenue
in any year of the Company's existence. The Company believes that the fees
charged were at least as favorable as those obtainable from an uninterested
third party. See "Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions."
NO ASSURANCE OF PUBLIC MARKET; DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE; POSSIBLE
VOLATILITY OF MARKET PRICES OF THE COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS.
Prior to this offering, no public market existed for the Units, the Common
Stock or the Warrants. There is no assurance that an active market will develop
in the Units, the Common Stock or the Warrants. Despite the application of the
Company to list on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation Small-Cap Market System exchange, there is no assurance that such an
application will be accepted or that if accepted, an active market will develop
in the Common Stock or the Warrants. The offering price of the Common Stock and
exercise price for the Warrants was determined by negotiation between the
Company and the Underwriter. In determining these the Company and the
Underwriter considered, among other things, the public trading prices for the
common stock of corporations engaged in businesses similar to the Company's
business, estimates of the business potential for the Company, the management of
the Company, and the Company's plans for the expansion of its business base. The
offering price does not bear any relation to earnings per share, book value, or
the net worth of the Company. Prospective investors should not consider the
offering price of the Common Stock or the exercise price of the Warrants as
necessarily indicative of the actual value of either the Common Stock or the
Warrants. See "Underwriting."
POSSIBLE INABILITY TO EXERCISE WARRANTS.
The Warrants included in the Units offered hereby are not exercisable
unless, at the time of exercise, the Company has a current prospectus covering
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and such
shares have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the
securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder of the
Warrants. The Company intends to keep the Registration Statement, of which this
Prospectus is a part, effective during the pendency of the entire offering,
including the period during which the Warrants are likely to be exercised.
However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so or to
comply with all regulatory requirements. In the event that the Company is unable
to keep the Registration Statement effective, a holder of Warrants may not be
able to exercise such Warrants for shares of Common Stock.
The Warrants, which are part of the Units offered hereby, will not be
detachable from the Units and separately transferable for a period of 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus unless the period is terminated sooner at the
sole option of the Underwriter. Although the Units will not knowingly be sold to
purchasers in jurisdictions in which the Units are not registered or otherwise
qualified for sale, purchasers may buy Warrants in the after-market or may move
to jurisdictions in which the Shares underlying the Warrants are not so
registered or qualified during the period that the Warrants are exercisable. In
this event, the Company would be unable to issue Shares to those persons
desiring to exercise their Warrants unless and until the Shares could be
qualified for sale in jurisdictions in which purchasers reside, or exemption
from such qualification exists in such jurisdictions, and Warrant holders would
have no choice but to attempt to sell the Warrants to a resident of a
jurisdiction where such sale is permissible or allow them to expire unexercised.
See "Description of Securities -- Warrants."

<PAGE>
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Upon completion of this Offering, the Company will have outstanding
4,506,955 shares of Common Stock. 2,586,955 shares of the Company's Common Stock
("Restricted Shares") were issued by the Company in reliance upon exemptions
from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and may not be sold unless
they are so registered thereunder or are sold pursuant to an applicable
exemption from registration including Rule 144 which governs the sales of
restricted securities. Of these shares, 777,955 are to be registered
concurrently with this registration statement with 218,246 shares to be sold in
this offering. The remaining shares are subject to a six month lock-up period.
See "Concurrent Registration of Securities" and "Underwriting -- Lock-up
Agreement".
Under Rule 144, a stockholder who has beneficially owned Restricted Shares
for at least two (2) years (including persons who may be deemed to be
"affiliates" of the Company under Rule 144) may sell within any three (3) month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: a) one percent
(1%) of the then outstanding shares of a particular class of the Company's
Common Stock as reported on its 10Q filing, or b) the average weekly volume on
NASDAQ during the four (4) calendar weeks preceding such sale and may only sell
such shares through unsolicited brokers' transactions. A stockholder who is not
deemed to have been an "affiliate" of the Company for at least ninety (90) days
and who has beneficially owned his shares for at least three (3) years would be
entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the volume
limitations described above.
There has been no public market for the securities of the Company. Sales of
substantial amounts of shares of the Company's Common Stock, pursuant to Rule
144 or otherwise, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock,
and consequently make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity
securities in the future at a time and price which the Company deems
appropriate. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
NASDAQ MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS; POSSIBLE DELISTING OF SECURITIES FROM NASDAQ
SYSTEM;
RISKS OF LOW-PRICED STOCKS
If the Company is unable to satisfy NASDAQ's maintenance criteria in the
future, its securities will be subject to being delisted, and trading, if any,
would thereafter be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the so-called
"pink sheets" or the "Electronic Bulletin Board" of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). As a consequence of such delisting, an
investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the price of, the Company's securities.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires
additional disclosure, relating to the market for penny stocks, in connection
with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The SEC has adopted
regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity
security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least
$2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years,
(ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in
continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue
of at least $6,000,000 if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less
than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
In addition, if the Company's securities are not quoted on NASDAQ, or the
Company does not have $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, trading in the Common
Stock would be covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") for non-NASDAQ and non-exchange
listed securities. Under such rule, broker/dealers who recommend such securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a
special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities also
are exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share.
10
<PAGE>
The Company's Common Stock will, as of the date of this Prospectus,
technically be within the definitional scope of a penny stock, but will be
exempt from the definition of penny stock by operational law, because it is
listed on NASDAQ. In the event that the Common Stock were subsequently to become
characterized as a penny stock, the market liquidity for the Company's
securities could be severely affected. In such an event, the regulations on
penny stocks could limit the ability of broker/ dealers to sell the Company's
securities and thus the ability of purchasers of the Company's securities to
sell their securities in the secondary market.
SIGNIFICANT OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS.
Upon consummation of this offering, there will be outstanding stock options
to purchase an aggregate of approximately 342,000 shares of Common Stock at
exercise prices ranging from $1.11 to $1.39 per share. To the extent that
outstanding options or warrants are exercised, dilution to the Company's
stockholders will occur. Moreover, the terms upon which the Company will be able
to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holders
of outstanding options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time
when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital
on terms more favorable to the Company than the exercise terms provided by such
outstanding securities. See "Description of Securities -- Warrants" and
"Management -- Stock Option Plan"
UNDERWRITER'S UNIT PURCHASE OPTIONS.
Subject to the requirements of the SEC and NASD, the Company will grant to
the Underwriter, as partial consideration for services rendered, options to
purchase up to 96,000 units (the "Underwriter's Unit Purchase Option") at an
exercise price of $8.45 per Unit. An exercise of the Underwriter's Unit Purchase
Options, which may be effected at any time, either in whole or in part,
beginning one (1) year after the date of this Prospectus for a period of four
(4) years thereafter, may adversely affect the Company's ability to obtain
equity capital, and, if the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Underwriter's Unit Purchase Option is sold in the public market, may adversely
affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock. The Underwriter's Unit
Purchase Option, the Units issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's Unit
Purchase Option, the Common Stock and Warrants comprising such Units, and the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants have been included in the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The Company has
agreed to keep such Registration Statement current, which would result in
substantial expense to the Company. This obligation is in addition to certain
registration rights granted to the Underwriter. See "Underwriting --
Underwriter's Unit Purchase Option" and "Dilution."
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS.
The Warrants are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per Warrant upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice, provided that the price of the Common Stock for
ten (10) consecutive business days is $7.00 or more per share. Redemption of the
Warrants by the Company could force the holders to exercise the Warrants and pay
the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to
do so, to sell the Warrants at the then current market price when they might
otherwise wish to hold the Warrants, or to accept the redemption price, which is
likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Warrants at the
time of redemption. In the event of the exercise of a substantial number of
Warrants offered as part of the Units within a reasonably short period of time
after the right to exercise commences, the resulting increase in the amount of
Common Stock of the Company in the trading market could substantially affect the
market price of the Common Stock. See "Description of Securities -- Common Stock
Purchase Warrants."
POSSIBLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE UNDERWRITER.
The Underwriter, M.H. Meyerson & Co., Inc., together with other principals
of the Underwriter are stockholders of the Company holding an aggregate of
393,750 shares of Common Stock, or 15.2% of the shares issued before this
offering. The aggregate holding is comprised of 45,000 shares held by M.H.
Meyerson & Co., Inc., 180,000 shares held by Manhattan Group Funding, 56,250
shares held by the IRA account of Martin H. Meyerson, 11,250 shares held by
Jeffrey E. Meyerson, 11,250 shares
11
<PAGE>
held by Michael Silvestri and 90,000 shares held by Kenneth J. Koock. Although
principals of the Underwriter do not serve as officers or directors of the
Company, their ownership of Common Stock could be deemed to give them and the
Underwriter influence upon management decisions, including the decision to
utilize the Underwriter for purposes of this offering. See "Underwriting."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 960,000 Units offered
hereby are estimated to be approximately $4,818,552 ($5,601,552 if the
Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company intends
to use $956,000 of the net proceeds of this offering for the expansion into the
New York and three (3) other major markets. An additional $1,000,000 will be
used to expand the capacity of the existing offices through the purchase of
three (3) high speed digital publishing machines with electronic data storage
and on-line Internet capabilities, as well as other additional high speed copy
machines. Four additional sales representatives will also be hired with $200,000
of the proceeds. The Company also plans to pay off debt with $860,000 of the
proceeds of this offering. An additional $300,000 will be used to obtain
internal video conferencing capabilities which will increase uniformity in
bidding and enable the centralization of all projects and executive decisions.
The Company also intends to use $500,000 to obtain imaging and scanning
technology which will store numerous documents on CD ROM with the ability to
recall any document instantly. In order to support the Company's software
development four software engineers and two technical support staff will be
hired with $200,000 and $90,000 of the proceeds. The remaining $712,552 will be
used as working capital.
The Company's plans for specific use of net proceeds are as follows:

a bank loan of approximately $17,000 at 8.1% due March 21, 2000, consummated
after March 31, 1996 and a $100,000 loan made to the Company by M.H.
Meyerson & Co., Inc. in May 1996 at .5% below the prime rate coming due upon
the earlier of April 30, 1997 or the closing of any public debt or equity
financing of the Company.
The foregoing represents the Company's best estimate of the allocation of
the net proceeds of this Offering based upon the current status of its business.
The estimate is based on certain assumptions, including that no events occur
which would cause the Company's revenues to recede abruptly and that the
Company's new additional offices, can be placed in operation on time and within
budget. Future
12
<PAGE>
events, including the problems, delays, expenses and complications frequently
encountered by small enterprises, as well as changes in economic or competitive
conditions or the Company's business, may make shifts in the allocation of funds
necessary or desirable. There can be no assurance that the Company's estimates
will prove accurate, that new programs or activities will not be undertaken
which will require considerable additional expenditures, or that unforeseen
expenses will not occur.
The Company anticipates that the proceeds of this Offering, together with
existing funds, will enable it to fund its operating and capital needs for at
least 24 months from the completion of this Offering. The Company anticipates
that it may require additional financing after that time, depending on the
status of its sales efforts and whether sufficient revenues and contractual
commitments have been received from its customers to enable it to function with
sufficient liquidity. In addition, the Company may require additional funds
prior to or after that time for purposes of further significant expansion of its
facilities or acquisition of operations of other entities, but the Company has
no current or presently anticipated plan in this respect other than for the
contemplated new facility, which is to be funded with a portion of the proceeds
of this Offering. See "Business -- Strategy." The Company is not able at this
time to predict the amount or potential source of such additional funds and has
no commitment to obtain additional funds. Any additional proceeds upon exercise
of the Over-allotment Option or the Warrants, if exercised, will be added to
working capital.

<PAGE>
DILUTION
As of March 31, 1996, the Company had net tangible assets of $530,786 or
$0.21 per share. Net tangible book value per share means the tangible assets of
the Company, less all liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common
stock outstanding. On a pro forma basis adjusted for the sale of 960,000 Units
offered by the Company hereby at an initial public offering price of $6.25 per
Unit, the deduction of estimated expenses, underwriting discounts and the
underwriter's non-accountable expense allowance, the as-adjusted pro forma net
tangible book value of the Company would have been $5,349,338 or $1.19 per
share. This represents an immediate dilution to new investors of $1.81 (60%) per
share. Dilution is calculated by subtracting net tangible book value per share
after the offering from the offering price to investors.
The following table illustrates the foregoing information with respect to
dilution to new investors on a per share basis as of March 31, 1996:
<TABLE>

Public offering price............................................... $ 3.00
Net tangible book value before the offering..................... $ 0.21

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 1996,
the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, the total
consideration received by the Company, the average price per share of existing
shareholders and the average price to be paid by purchasers of the Units offered
by the Company hereby (before deducting offering expenses and underwriting
discounts and commissions) at an assumed initial public offering price of $6.25
per Unit and $3.00 per share.

(1) Sales of Units by the Selling Securityholders in the offering made hereby
will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock held by Existing
Shareholders to 2,368,709 shares or 53% of the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, and will increase the number of shares held by New
Investors to 2,138,246 shares or 47% of the total number of Shares of Common
Stock outstanding.
The above table allocates no value to the Warrants contained in the Units,
and assumes no exercise of the Underwriter's overallotment, the Underwriter's
purchase option nor any outstanding options. No further dilution will occur upon
exercise of Warrants, Underwriters overallotment or Underwriter's Purchase
Option. The dilution caused by the exercise of the currently outstanding options
is de minimis.
If the Overallotment option is exercised in full, the New Investors, not
including those purchasing shares from the Selling Securityholders, will have
paid $6,624,000 and will hold 2,208,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 87
percent of the total consideration and 46 percent of the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company began to provide reprographic and facilities management services
to the premium service segment of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market in June
1993. The company has subsequently expanded its geographic market to include
Washington, DC and Atlanta, Georgia. In July 1995 the Company expanded the scope
of its business through the purchase of the assets of a copy machine repair
service. Revenues from reprographic and litigation support account for
approximately 77% of total revenues while facilities management accounts for 20%
and copy machine refurbishment, repairs, sale and leases account for 3% as of
March 31, 1996.
The Company's reprographic and litigation support services to law firms and
corporations includes copying, binding, drilling, "Bates" stamping, labeling,
collating, indexing, assembling and quality review. The Company currently has
technology which allows customers to "telecommute" by sending documents
instantaneously via the Internet to computers at On-Site. The documents are then
transferred into the memory of a digital copy machine and reproduced.
The Company also contracts to provide its services on the premises of its
customers through facilities management agreements. The Company conducts a
comprehensive analysis of each client's needs and tailors the services provided
to these needs based on volume, time, and quality requirements. On-Site's
facilities management services include providing on-site management of the
client's support services including copy, mail, supply and records rooms.
Mailroom services include distributing all mail and interoffice correspondence,
processing, logging and billing outgoing mail, parcels and special courier
items, logging, billing, and tracking transmission of outgoing facsimiles and
distributing incoming facsimiles. Supply room services include providing all
required materials through a "Just in Time" system designed to minimize the
costs of logging and tracking materials provided. Records room services include
utilization of bar code applications and state-of-the-art imaging and scanning
equipment to store documents and data base information for quick retrieval and
copying. Copy room management involves tracking, logging and billing all copies,
and providing repair services to copy machines. In addition, specialized
proprietary software generates operating data that allows the Company to analyze
vendor, copy and overtime costs, copy volume and prepare profit and loss
statements that offer solutions to productivity problems.
On-Site recently expanded the scope of its business to include the servicing
and sales of copy machines. In July 1995, On-Site purchased the assets of SWR
Associates, Inc. ("SWR"), doing business as CRC or Copier Rebuild Center, in
Frederick, MD, that services, refurbishes, leases and sells mid and high volume
copiers. On-Site now provides service technicians to all of the Company's
locations. The acquisition of an in house repair service was a natural vertical
integration and has allowed On-Site to minimize critical down time and increases
productivity at the Company's reprographic centers and facilities management
sites.
The revenue provided by the reprographic services vary depending on the
volume of work orders received with December historically being a slow period.
Revenues are collected on a monthly basis for facilities management contracts
with payment due on the first of the month while reprographic and service
revenues are collected on a per job basis. The Company's collection history of
accounts receivables has been 45 to 90 days with facilities management accounts
being collected within 10 to 15 days.
The Company's near term objectives include plans to expand geographically
and increase the use of technology. Expansion into the New York market with a
portion of the $956,000 allocated for expansion from the proceeds of this
offering is scheduled for the Summer of 1996. The Company also plans to expand
the capacity of its existing facilities by adding copy machines through the use
of $1,000,000 of the proceeds of this offering. Additionally, the Company plans
to invest in its SiteTrax and OATS Systems and new technology in order to
improve efficiency and expand into new markets.
17
<PAGE>
The Company expects to hire four software engineers and two technical support
staff members to further develop the OATS and SiteTrax Systems and provide
technical support at locations where the Company's software products have been
installed. The implementation of internal video conferencing with $300,000 of
the proceeds of this offering will improve efficiency and ensure consistency by
allowing the various locations to share expertise. Expanding the range of
services provided to include imaging technology with $500,000 of the proceeds of
this offering is also planned. Although no assurances can be given, the Company
believes that the net proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to attain
these objectives and to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for the next
twenty four months. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business -- Technology and
Proprietary Information".

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
REVENUES
The Company's revenues are derived from reprographics and litigation
support, facilities management, and copier repairs. Overall sales revenue
increased by $2,959,815 or 151% from 1994 to 1995. Of this increase $2,035,712,
a 58% increase, can be attributed to the increased capacity of existing
facilities and $762,306, a 62% increase, resulted from the increased number of
facilities management sites from three as of December 31, 1994 to eight as of
December 31, 1995. The purchase of the Copy Rebuild Center in Frederick, MD in
July 1995, which services, refurbishes, leases and sells mid and high volume
copiers, also provided approximately three percent (3%) of the Company's total
revenues in 1995. The Company expects that copy machine sales and servicing will
continue to account for approximately three percent (3%) of the total revenues
during 1996. The company has also achieved name recognition and a reputation for
quality in the markets it served in 1995 which has resulted in repeat customers.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased by $2,462,266 or 173% from 1994.
This increase was nearly proportional to the increase in revenues. As a
percentage of revenue, cost of sales increased from 73% in 1994 to 79% in 1995.
This increase can be attributed to an increase in wages paid to three sales and
marketing employees hired in 1995 and a rise in the cost of paper during 1995.
SELLING AND SHIPPING. Costs of selling and shipping increased $288,102 or
525% in 1995 due to increased marketing efforts and increased commissions paid
to a larger marketing staff and the purchase of new delivery trucks in 1995.
18
<PAGE>
ADMINISTRATIVE. Although administrative costs in 1995 increased $51,599 or
10.7% over the 1994 period, these costs declined as a percentage of revenues
from 24% to 11%. The increase can be attributed to the Company's growth both in
existing and new markets in 1995.
EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS. Earnings from operations increased $157,848 in
1995 due to increased marketing efforts by the Company. The increased number of
facility management sites from three in 1994 to eight in 1995 also accounts for
the increased earnings from operations.
OTHER EXPENSES, PRIMARILY INTEREST. Other expenses increased by $52,032 or
180% due mainly to an increase in the amount of debt carried by the Company in
order to meet the Company's working capital needs and costs of expansion.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. In December 1994, the Company had available unused
operating loss carryforwards that were applied to taxable income in 1995. As of
December 31, 1995 the Company still had unused operating loss carryforwards that
may be applied against future taxable income. See "Notes to Financial Statements
- -- Note J"
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
REVENUES
Total revenues increased by $645,302 or 56% from the first three months of
1995. This increase is principally due to increased volume of work orders
fulfilled due to increased capacity at the Rosslyn, VA reprographics facility
and the commencing of operations of the Atlanta, GA reprographics facility. The
Rosslyn facility's floor space increased by 5,400 square feet. The Copy Rebuild
Center in Frederick, MD also contributed approximately 3% of the Company's
revenues in the first three months of 1996. The Company has also achieved name
recognition and a reputation for quality in the markets it serves which has
resulted in repeat customers.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
COST OF SALES. For the first three months of 1996, cost of sales increased
$479,983 or 55% over the same period in 1995. Included in the Cost of sales are
the one time start-up costs of the Atlanta reprographics facility, which became
operational during this time period. The Company anticipates that the Atlanta
facility will become profitable in the middle of the second quarter of this
year. The increased costs are proportional to the increased revenues for this
period and reflect the increased volume of business received by the Company. As
a percent of total revenues, cost of sales remained constant between the two
periods.
SELLING AND SHIPPING. Selling and shipping costs increased $67,608 or 84%
over the first three months of 1995. This increase is due to the salaries of new
sales personnel hired after the first quarter of 1995 in anticipation of the
Company's increased capacity.
ADMINISTRATIVE. Although administrative costs increased by $64,651 or 52.2%
over the 1995 period, these costs declined as a percentage of revenues from 11%
in 1995 to 10% in 1996. Administrative costs for the first three months of 1996
also include the audit fee in connection with the year end audit of
approximately $25,000.
EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS. Earnings from operations increased $33,060 or 48%
over the same period in 1995. This increase is due to increased volume.
OTHER EXPENSES, PRIMARILY INTEREST. Other expenses increased $19,076 or
151% in 1996 over the first three months of 1995. The increase is due to the
Company's increased short term and long term borrowing to finance working
capital needs and costs of expansion.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically been dependent upon loans from commercial
banks, as well as private placements of its equity securities to finance its
working capital requirements. The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this
offering to expand its operations into new cities, expand the capacity of its
existing facilities, invest in new technology, pay off existing debts and meet
its working
19
<PAGE>
capital requirements. Although the Company believes the proceeds of this
offering will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's contemplated cash
requirements for at least 24 months following this offering, the Company has no
current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing except
for its line of credit as described below. In the event that the Company's plans
change or prove to be inaccurate or if the proceeds of this offering are
insufficient, the Company may be required to seek additional funding or may be
required to curtail its operations. There can be no assurance that any
additional financing will be available to the Company.
On May 1, 1995, Sequoia National Bank agreed to make a $300,000 line of
credit available to the Company. Upon consummation of the line of credit, the
Company borrowed $260,000 in order to meet its working capital needs. In January
1996, the Company amended the credit facility to $450,000 with all other terms
remaining unchanged and borrowed $115,000 in order to meet its working capital
needs leaving $75,000 currently available to the Company to provide working
capital.
In order to finance working capital needs the Company raised $310,700
through a private placement of 147,955 shares of Common stock in March 1996.
On March 29, 1996, Allen C. Outlaw, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
and a director of the Company, exercised options to purchase 162,000 shares of
common stock for $90,000. The options had been granted pursuant to an employment
agreement and fully vested during 1994. In connection with the exercise of the
options, the Company loaned $89,900 to the officer/director. The loan bears
interest at 6% per year with a payment of $40,000 due on May 1, 1996 and the
remaining principal and interest due April 1, 1998.
ACQUISITION OF SWR ASSOCIATES, INC.
On-Site recently expanded the scope of its business to include the servicing
and sales of refurbished copy machines by purchasing the net assets of SWR
Associates, Inc. ("SWR") of Frederick, Maryland, doing business as CRC, for the
nominal consideration of $10,000 on July 27, 1995. SWR's location in Frederick,
MD, is comprised of a copier rebuild center that services, refurbishes, leases
and sells mid and high volume copiers. The acquisition of an in-house repair
service was a vertical integration designed to allow On-Site to minimize
critical down time of equipment and increase productivity at On-Site's
reprographic centers and facilities management sites. As a result of the
acquisition, On-Site now provides copier service technicians with dispatch to
all of On-Site's locations, thereby enhancing productivity.
In essence, SWR has become the maintenance division of On-Site after the
acquisition, with On-Site providing the majority of SWR's work. For the seven
months before the acquisition, SWR had revenues of approximately $286,000 and
incurred a loss of $76,300 due mainly to excess capacity. Subsequent to its
acquisition, SWR's facility and personnel began operating at full capacity due
to On-Site's demands for copy machine maintenance. SWR's external revenue during
the post-acquisition period in 1995 was approximately $162,000. This factor, in
addition to the elimination of redundant general and administrative expenses,
resulted in SWR earning a profit of approximately $9,400 for the last five
months of 1995.
While On-Site's acquisition of SWR has had a significant effect on SWR's
performance, SWR has not had a similar effect on On-Site. SWR only accounted for
3% of On-Site Sourcing's external revenue for 1995. Management believes the time
period after the acquisition is more indicative of how SWR will perform in the
future and that providing audited financial statements for the time prior to the
acquisition would therefore not provide meaningful information. For the first
two months of 1996, SWR only accounted for 2.8% of On-Site's total revenue.
Furthermore, SWR's operations, prior to the acquisition, reflect discretionary
salary and bonuses to the owner as a result of appropriate income tax planning
which have not continued after the acquisition.

BUSINESS
The Company, ("On-Site") provides reprographic and facilities management
services to law firms, non-profit organizations, accounting firms, financial
institutions and other organizations throughout the East Coast. In order to meet
the highly specialized requirements of each client, On-Site offers a variety of
customized reprographic and facilities management services. The Company's
reprographic services include copying, binding, labeling, collating and indexing
in support of complex, document-intensive litigation as well as higher volume
productions of manuals, brochures and other materials for corporations and
non-profit organizations. On-Site also provides on-premises management of the
customer's support services including mailroom operations, facsimile
transmission, records and supply room management and copying services. The
Company also services, refurbishes, leases and sells mid and high volume copy
machines thereby minimizing critical down time and increasing productivity at
the Company's reprographic centers and facilities management sites. On-Site
assumes complete responsibility for these operations through the provision of
management, highly-trained staff, specialized proprietary software, equipment,
supplies, as well as copier repair and consulting services.
The Company targets the premium service segment of the market in which
speed, accuracy and quality are critical by providing high quality service at
economical prices. On-Site Sourcing, Inc. was founded in 1992 and currently
serves the greater Washington, Philadelphia, and Atlanta metropolitan areas
through outsourcing locations in Arlington, Virginia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and Atlanta, Georgia, as well as facilities management locations in Washington,
DC; Philadelphia, PA and Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. The Arlington, Virginia
outsourcing location is the largest legal processing center in the metropolitan
Washington area. The Company plans to expand service to the New York City
metropolitan area in the Summer of 1996. Customers include a number of the large
law firms, corporations and non-profit entities operating in these cities. The
Company was originally incorporated in Virginia in December, 1992 and changed
its state of incorporation to Delaware in January, 1996.
OUTSOURCING MARKET. Traditionally, most organizations have provided all of
the services required to support their own operations. Increasingly, however,
organizations are contracting out certain functions to specialized independent
business service companies. These services include reprographic, security,
secretarial, cafeteria, computer and communications facilities management.
Outsourcing allows organizations to focus their management and resources on
their own business, while often improving support systems and more effectively
controlling costs. Users of facilities management services are relieved of the
responsibilities of selecting and maintaining equipment and hiring, training,
managing and motivating employees. These vendors generally achieve economies of
scale in administration and the purchasing of equipment and supplies.
STRATEGY. The Company's strategy for continued growth in the premium
service sector of the reprographic and facilities management business is to
attract new customers, retain existing clients and to expand the range of
services while maintaining high quality and efficient operations. The Company
has developed several management strategies in order to continue to compete
successfully with larger companies including:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- - TRAINING PROGRAMS On-Site has developed intensive training programs for all
employees through the use of proprietary computer
programs. Training is based on qualification requirements
for each position and continues throughout the course of
employment.
- - QUALITY CONTROL Strict quality control standards are also maintained
through the use of a Quality Assurance Team, Quality
Assurance Diary, intensive training programs and client
surveys. Because of the
</TABLE>
21
<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
sensitivity of the materials produced, each document is
hand checked in a separate room by a quality control team.
Less than 1% of all documents are rejected by clients due
to poor quality.
- - EMPLOYEE RELATIONS On-Site places a strong emphasis on employee relations
through the use of employee empowerment practices, team
building, close relations between employees and management
and an employee incentive program that includes stock
ownership.
- - ECONOMIES OF SCALE On-Site is able to provide efficient services to its
clients because it achieves economies of scale in
administration, training, acquisition of equipment and
supplies, improved equipment utilization, servicing
copiers and higher employee productivity.
- - BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES On-Site offers a broad range of services in order to
tailor its operations to the highly specialized
requirements of each client. In addition to customized
reprographic services, On-Site offers litigation support
such as binding, labeling, collating and indexing.
Facilities management services include copy and mailroom
operations, facsimile transmission, records and supply
room management, as well as copier repair and consulting
services.
</TABLE>
The Company receives the main part of its business by providing reprographic
and litigation support services to law firms and corporations. This accounts for
approximately 77 percent of the Company's business. Facilities management
accounts for approximately 20 percent of the business while the final sector of
On-Site's business, the servicing and sales of copy machines, now provides 3
percent of the Company's business. Each division and business function, while
independent in services to the client, share personnel and resources in order to
minimize costs and provide high quality services.
The Company's goal is to expand its reprographics and facilities management
business by taking advantage of opportunities presented by the large number of
organizations that still provide their own facilities management services
internally. On-Site also plans to expand into new geographic locations including
New York City in the Summer of 1996.
OPERATIONS. On-Site provides its services through regional offices in
metropolitan Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA and Atlanta, GA. These facilities
maintain staff, equipment, supplies and training facilities in order to provide
reprographic and litigation support services to a variety of customers. The
Company also places professional management at each site and provides employees
with ongoing training in equipment operation and maintenance, customer
satisfaction, interpersonal skills, and quality control. Equipment and supplies
are provided by numerous regional and national vendors.
On-Site contracts to provide its services on the premises of its customers.
The Company conducts a comprehensive analysis of each client's needs and tailors
the services provided to these needs based on volume, time, and quality
requirements.
The Company's reprographic and litigation support services to law firms and
corporations includes copying, binding, drilling, "Bates" stamping, labeling,
collating, indexing, assembling and quality review. The Company currently has
technology which allows customers to "telecommute" by sending documents
instantaneously via the Internet to computers at On-Site. The documents are then
transferred into the memory of a copy machine and reproduced.
On-Site's facilities management services include providing on-site
management of the client's support services including copy, mail, supply and
records rooms. Mailroom services include distributing all mail and interoffice
correspondence, processing, logging and billing outgoing mail, parcels and
22
<PAGE>
special courier items, logging, billing, and tracking transmission of outgoing
facsimiles and distributing incoming facsimiles. Supply room services include
providing all required materials through a "Just in Time" system designed to
minimize the costs of logging and tracking materials provided. Records room
services include utilization of bar code applications and state-of-the-art
imaging and scanning equipment to store documents and data base information for
quick retrieval and copying. Copy room management involves tracking, logging and
billing all copies, and providing repair services to copy machines. In addition,
specialized proprietary software generates operating data that allows the
Company to analyze vendor, copy and overtime costs, copy volume and prepare
profit and loss statements that offer solutions to productivity problems.
On-Site recently expanded the scope of its business to include the servicing
and sales of copy machines. In July 1995, On-Site purchased the assets of SWR
Associates, Inc. ("SWR"), doing business as CRC, a copy rebuild center in
Frederick, MD, that services, refurbishes, leases and sells mid and high volume
copiers. On-Site now provides service technicians to all of the Company's
locations. The acquisition of an in house repair service was a natural vertical
integration and has allowed On-Site to minimize critical down time and increases
productivity at the Company's reprographic centers and facilities management
sites.
The Company is currently in the process of negotiating a lease for office
space in New York City and expects to begin operations in New York by the end of
the summer of 1996. The Company is also evaluating the market potential of
several mid-west and west coast cities.
The Company operates in two segments, one of which includes facilities
management, litigation copying, and related services at customer and company
locations, and a second, which includes the purchase, refurbishment, lease, sale
and servicing of copy machines. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
purchase, refurbishment, lease, sale and servicing of copy machines was not
material to the limited financial statements. The Company's operations are
conducted entirely in the United States.
CUSTOMERS. On-Site's customers include law firms, non-profit organizations,
accounting firms, financial institutions and other organizations throughout the
East Coast. On-Site's customer base is the premium service segment of the market
in which speed, accuracy and quality are critical. The Company's clients include
many of the largest law firms and business entities in the markets served.
EMPLOYEES. The Company continuously recruits, trains and offers benefits
and other incentives to personnel in order to develop and retain a qualified and
reliable staff. Under the Company' training program, all personnel receive
training covering the use and maintenance of equipment, interpersonal skills and
operating procedures. The Company places a strong emphasis on employee relations
and engages in team building, and employee empowerment practices as well as
providing incentives, including a stock ownership plan, that are specifically
designed to encourage and reward employee performance. Additionally, all
employees are bonded, sign confidentiality agreements and agree to undergo drug
tests. The Company believes these programs result in higher employee
productivity and professionalism. As of February 2, 1996 the Company had 120
full time employees, of which 6 are in executive positions. None of the
Company's employees are represented by a labor union and the Company considers
its employee relations to be satisfactory.
COMPETITION. The reprographics and facilities management businesses are
highly competitive. The largest competition is from prospective clients
themselves, which provide these services internally. The national competitors
providing facilities management services include Pitney Bowes Management
Services and Xerox Business Systems, while Merrill Corporation is a competitor
for reprographic services. Alco Standard Corporation and R.R. Donnelley Business
Systems are national competitors providing both reprographic and facilities
management services while Copy America, Balmar and Reliable are regional
competitors providing both of these services in the markets served by On-Site.
TECHNOLOGY AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The Company's proprietary software,
On-Site Sourc-
ing, Inc. Automated Tracking System ("OATS") was conceptualized by the Company's
President,
23
<PAGE>
Christopher Weiler, in early 1993 for use in facilities management contracts. It
has undergone continuous development to the present. The program tracks and
produces reports for a variety of back office operations which enables On-Site
to operate in the most efficient manner, thereby increasing productivity. When
combined with specially configured bar code technology, the program tracks the
delivery of all internal mail and packages, organizes file rooms, assists the
client with cost accounting by automating client billing information and
purchase orders, tracks office employee productivity, automates inventories and
tracks incoming and outgoing facsimiles. The program also employs icons which
allow direct access to other applications such as the UPS and Federal Express
Tracking Systems. The report function produces in-depth charts on all facets of
the back office which allows On-Site employees to easily monitor activities and
eliminate inefficiencies. Finally, OATS automates On-Site's billing of clients.
OATS is installed via computer disk and is compatible with a variety of
operating systems.
The Company is also developing a proprietary automated cost recovery system
for copy machines, SiteTrax, which will be operational before the end of 1996.
The system networks copy machines and tracks the number of copies made, the
client to be billed, the specific matter involved and the employee making the
copies. This system is designed to increase On-Site's appeal to potential
facilities management clients based on price and performance.
The Company relies on confidentiality and non-competition agreements with
its employees in order to protect its proprietary know-how and employs various
methods to protect the software, concepts, ideas and documentation of its
proprietary technology. However, such methods may not afford complete
protection, and there can be no assurance that others will not independently
develop similar know-how or obtain access to the Company's know-how or software,
concepts, ideas and documentation. Furthermore, although the Company has and
expects to have confidentiality and non-competition agreements with its
employees, consultants, and appropriate vendors, there can be no assurance that
such arrangements will adequately protect the Company's trade secrets.
FACILITIES. The Company's executive offices and reprographic operations
which service the metropolitan Washington area are located in approximately
11,453 square feet of leased space in Arlington, Virginia. The lease expires in
December of 1999. Rent for the premises is $12,800 per month through April 1996,
$13,700 per month for May 1996 through April 1997, $14,600 per month for May
1997 through April 1998 and $15,300 per month from May 1998 through December
1999.
The Company's Philadelphia offices are located in approximately 4900 square
feet of leased space in center city Philadelphia, PA. The lease provides for a
base annual rent of $61,300 and an expiration date in October 2000. The Company
also has offices located in approximately 3935 square feet of leased space in
Frederick, MD. The lease provides for a base annual rent of $30,000 with
additional operating costs of $2,000 per year and an expiration date in January,
1997.
The Company also has offices located in approximately 5,512 square feet of
leased space in Atlanta, GA. The lease provides for a base annual rent of
$64,800. The lease expiration date is February 28, 2002.
The Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its
current and reasonably foreseeable future needs for the markets that each
facility serves and that additional physical capacity at its current facilities
is available to accommodate expansion, if required.
SEASONAL AND CYCLICAL NATURE OF BUSINESS; BACKLOG. The revenue provided by
the reprographic services vary depending on the volume of work orders received,
with December historically being a slow period. Facilities management contracts
are not significantly seasonal or cyclical in nature. The nature of the business
does not lend itself to backlogs and references to backlogs are not meaningful.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN. Effective March 3, 1995, the Board of Directors of
the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which was approved
by the stockholders of the Company at the Stockholder's Annual Meeting held on
March 15, 1995.
26
<PAGE>
The Plan is designed to attract and retain qualified personnel in key
positions, provide officers, directors and key employees with a proprietary
interest in the Company as an incentive to contribute to the success of the
Company and to reward key employees for outstanding performance and the
attainment of targeted goals. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as well
as nonqualified stock options. The total number of options to purchase the
Company's common stock granted under the Plan is not to exceed 510,000 shares.
The number of shares which may be issued under the Plan may be adjusted to
reflect any changes in the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock due to
the declaration of stock dividends, recapitalization resulting in stock splits
or combinations or exchanges of shares.
The 1995 Stock Option Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to administer
the Plan. The Board's authority includes the authority to grant Options to
purchase Common Stock, determine which Options shall constitute Incentive Stock
Options and which shall constitute Nonqualified Stock Options and to determine
the exercise price of the options granted. Options may be granted to employees,
officers and directors as well as employees of present or future divisions and
subsidiary corporations. Options granted as Incentive Stock Options are subject
to two limitations. The first is that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the
shares of Common Stock underlying the Options becoming exercisable for the first
time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The
Second limitation is that the Option Price for Shareholders holding 10% or more
of the outstanding shares shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock. All Options granted under the Plan may only be exercised
while the Optionee is then in the employ of the Company and has remained
continuously so employed since the date of the grant of the Option. If the
employment of the Optionee terminates, other than by reason of death, disability
or retirement, all Options may be exercised within three months after such
termination, with the exception that all options shall terminate upon dismissal
for cause. Options granted under the Plan are not transferable other than by
will, the laws of descent and distribution or to a revocable inter vivos trust
for the primary benefit of the Optionee and his or her spouse.

Christopher J. Weiler effective December 1995 which provides for his employment

to the achievement of certain employment goals. These goals were met and
exceeded during 1994.
The Company has entered into a three year employment agreement, to be
renewed automatically for succeeding one year periods, with Larry F. Morris
effective December, 1995 which provides for his employment as Vice President of

salary draw of $40,000 per year payable monthly against commission compensation
through January 1, 1997 and thereafter a salary to be determined at the
discretion of the Management. Mr. Morris receives a commission of .25% on each
percentage point of margin on reprographic and printing revenues that are
realized by the Company through sales managed or closed by Mr. Morris with a cap
at 10% on all full margin (40% or greater gross) reprographic revenues. Mr.

<PAGE>
Mr. Morris with a cap of 5% on a full margin (40% or greater gross) facilities
management revenues. The agreement also provides for options to purchase 162,000

common stock. The options are subject to a vesting schedule whereby the options
vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the commencement of
employment with the Company. Two-thirds of the options are currently vested.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has
included in its Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the
personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In
addition, the bylaws of the Company provide that the Company is required to
indemnify its officers and directors, employees and agents under certain
circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would
otherwise be discretionary, and the Company is required to advance expenses to
its officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against
them for which they may be indemnified. The bylaws provide that the Company,
among other things, will indemnify such officers and directors, employees and
agents against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or
service as directors, officers, or employees (other than liabilities arising
from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), and to advance their expenses
incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified. At present, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened
litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company in which indemnification would be required or permitted. The Company
believes that its charter provisions and indemnification agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
UNITS
The Units offered hereby consist of two shares of Common Stock and one
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The Warrants are neither detachable
nor separately tradeable from the Common Stock with which they are issued for a
period of 30 business days from the date of this Prospectus, which period may
terminate sooner at the sole discretion of the Underwriter. The units will be
evidenced by separate certificates for the Common Stock and the Warrants which
comprise the Units.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative
voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the
holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can
elect all of the directors. The current officers and directors of the Company
will continue to beneficially own more than 30.2% of the shares of Common Stock
after the offering and, accordingly, will be able to elect all of the Company's
directors and control corporate policy. Holders of shares of Common Stock are
entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors
in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets of the Company, if any,
legally available for distribution to them after payment of debts and
liabilities of the Company after provision has been made for each class of
stock, if any, having liquidation preference over the Common Stock. Holders of
shares of Common Stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the
Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares
of Common Stock offered will be, when issued upon payment of the consideration
set forth in this Prospectus, fully paid and non-assessable.
31
<PAGE>
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is currently authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share. The preferred stock is issuable in one or more
series with such rights, preferences, maturity dates and similar matters as the
Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time determine without any
further vote or action by the Company's stockholders. No Preferred stock is
currently outstanding.
REDEEMABLE WARRANTS
The Company has authorized the registration of 1,109,123 Warrants to
purchase Common Stock, including Warrants issuable if the Underwriter exercises
in full its options to purchase Units for itself and to cover over-allotments.
The Company has reserved an equal number of shares of Common Stock for issuance
upon exercise of the Warrants. The following is a brief summary of all the
material provisions of the Warrants. For a more detailed description see the
Warrant Agreement between the Company and The Trust Company of New Jersey, a
copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part. See "Additional Information".
Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Warrants expire five years from the date
of the closing of the sale of the Units offered hereby. The Warrants are neither
detachable nor separately tradeable from the Common Stock with which they are
issued for a period of 30 business days from the date of this Prospectus, which
period may terminate sooner at the sole discretion of the Underwriter.
The Warrants are redeemable by the Company upon thirty days prior written
notice for $.01 per Warrant if the average closing bid price of the Common Stock
is $7.00 or more per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days. Warrant
holders shall have exercise rights until the close of the trading day preceding
the date fixed for redemption.
No warrant will be exercisable unless, at the time of exercise, the Company
has filed a current registration statement with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of such Warrants and such shares have been registered or qualified or deemed to
be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the
state of residence of the holder of such Warrant. The Company will use its best
efforts to have all such shares so registered or qualified on or before the
exercise date and to maintain a current prospectus relating thereto until the
expiration of the Warrants, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement. While
it is the Company's intention to do so, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in registering such shares.
The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of dividends payable in
Common Stock and subdivision or combinations of the Common Stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Board of
Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future as
it intends to retain future earnings to finance the growth of the business. The
payment of future cash dividends will depend on such factors as earnings levels,
anticipated capital requirements, the operating and financial condition of the
Company and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
DELAWARE LAW WITH RESPECT TO BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Following the consummation of this offering, the Company will be subject to
the State of Delaware's "business combination" statute, Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, such statute prohibits a publicly
held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with a
person who is an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the
date of the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder,
unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business
combination" includes a merger, asset
32
<PAGE>
sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates, owns (or, within three years prior to the proposed business
combination, did own) 15% or more of the Delaware corporation's voting stock.
The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeovers or change in
control attempts with respect to the Company and, accordingly, may discourage
attempts to acquire the Company.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is The Trust Company
of New Jersey, 35 Journal Square, Jersey City, New Jersey 07306.
REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
The Company intends to furnish its stockholders with annual reports
containing audited financial statements and such other periodic reports as the
Company may determine to be appropriate or as may be required by law.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has registered its Common
Stock and Warrants under the provisions of Section 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Company has
agreed that it will use its best efforts to continue to maintain such

registration will require the Company to comply with periodic reporting, proxy
solicitation and certain other requirements of the Exchange Act.

stockholders of the Underwriter and of the selling syndicate members and by
operation of law. Any transferee will be subject to the same transfer
restrictions.
NON-ACCOUNTABLE EXPENSE ALLOWANCE
The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a non-accountable expense
allowance of 3% of gross proceeds or $180,000 ($207,000 if the over-allotment
option is exercised) for due diligence and other expenses incurred by the
Underwriter in connection with the Offering. An advance of $5,000 on this
non-accountable expense allowance has been paid to the Underwriter and shall be
repaid to the Company in the event the offering is not completed for reasons
other than default by the Company.
OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
The Company has granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable within 45
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 144,000
Units, at the same price as the 960,000 Units offered hereby. The Underwriter
may exercise the option only for the purposes of covering over-allotments, if
any, made in connection with the distribution of the Units to the public.

Underwriter's prior written consent. Additionally, all Securityholders who have
registered Common Stock in this offering (other than the Common Stock included

assign, transfer, or make other disposition of any of their shares of Common
Stock prior to six (6) months after the date of this Prospectus without the

INVESTMENT BANKING AGREEMENT
Pursuant to a two year investment banking agreement the Company will retain
M.H. Meyerson & Co., Inc. as financial advisor at a fee of $2,500 per month, the
total fee payable at the closing.
RIGHT TO NOMINATE DIRECTOR
Following the completion of this offering, the Underwriter has the right to
nominate one member of the Company's board of directors. The Underwriter has not
indicated whether it will do so.
QUALIFIED INDEPENDENT UNDERWRITER
This offering is being made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 2720
of the Conduct Rules ("Rule 2720") of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), since the offering is of securities of an entity in
which associated persons or affiliates of the Underwriter own approximately
15.2% of the issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Underwriter
and the Company have designated Loeb Partners Corporation to act as "qualified
independent underwriter" for the offering ("QIU"). The QIU is assuming the
responsibilities of acting as such in connection with the pricing of, and
conducting due diligence in connection with, this offering.
The independent investment banking firm of Loeb Partners Corporation, which
may participate as a member of the selling group in this offering (but will not
offer for sale more than 10% of the Units offered hereby), has recommended a
maximum initial public offering price of $6.25 per Unit. Pursuant to Rule 2720
to the NASD By-Laws, the Units are being offered at a price no greater than the
maximum recommended by Loeb Partners Corporation, which firm has informed the
Company that it has performed "due diligence" with respect to the information
contained in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The
NASD and the SEC have indicated that, in their view, a qualified independent
underwriter, such as Loeb Partners Corporation, may be deemed to be an
underwriter, as that term is defined in the Act. The Underwriter will pay a fee
to Loeb Partners Corporation of $15,000 and, in addition, will reimburse such
firm for actual out-of-pocket disbursements of up to $4,000 for services in
connection with recommending a maximum initial public offering price in this
offering.
In conformity with the foregoing, Loeb Partners Corporation has so
participated and rendered its opinion, a copy of which is filed with the
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus constitutes a
part, to the effect that the terms of the Common Stock and Warrants being
issued, including the exercise price and other terms of the Warrants, are fair
to the public, and that the offering price per Unit of the securities covered in
this offering does not exceed the maximum fair price.
The initial public offering price of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants
comprising the Units was determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Underwriter. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public
offering price were, among other things, the public trading prices for the
common stock of corporations engaged in businesses similar to the Company's
business, estimates of the business potential of the Company, the management of
the Company, and the Company's plans for expansion of its business base and the
advice and recommendations of Loeb Partners Corporation, as qualified
independent underwriter. See "Risk Factors -- No Assurance of Public Market;
Determination of Offering Price; Possible Volatility of Market Prices of the
Common Stock and Warrants" and "Dilution."
INTEREST OF COUNSEL
John S. Stoppelman, a principal of The Stoppelman Law Firm, P.C., counsel to
the Company, is a founder and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company, owner of 630,000 shares of Common Stock. The fees collected by the
Stoppelman Law Firm from the Company did not constitute five percent of the law
firm's gross revenue in any year of the Company's existence. See "Risk Factors
- -- Possible Conflicts of Interest Between the Company and the Company Counsel".
The Company believes that the fees charged were at least as favorable as those
obtainable from an uninterested third party.

Warrants provided by the Company for an additional 109,123 Units available

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering there has been no public market for the Units, the
Common Stock or the Warrants. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if
any, that market sales of the Units, the Common Stock or the Warrants or their
availability for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to
time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of Units, the Common Stock or
the Warrants in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market
prices and the Company's ability to raise capital through future offerings of
its securities.
Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have outstanding a total
of 4,506,955 shares of Common Stock (4,794,955 if the Underwriter's

outstanding, the 1,920,000 shares of Common Stock included as part of the Units
offered hereby will be freely tradeable without restriction or requirement for
further registration under the Securities Act. Any sale by an affiliate would be
subject to certain volume limitations and other restrictions. The remaining
2,586,955 outstanding shares are "restricted" shares within the meaning of Rule
144 (the "Restricted Shares"). The Restricted Shares outstanding were issued and
sold by the Company in private transactions in reliance upon exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act and may be sold only if they are
registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is
available. Of the restricted shares, 777,955 will be registered in this
offering. See "Concurrent Registration of Securities."
LEGAL MATTERS
The legality of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by The Stoppelman Law Firm, P.C., McLean, Virginia. Hartman & Craven
LLP, New York, New York has acted as counsel for the Underwriter in connection
with this offering. Edward I. Tishelman, a partner of Hartman & Craven LLP,
invested in the September 1993 private placement of the Company's unregistered
securities. As a result thereof Mr. Tishelman owns 45,000 shares of common
stock, or 1.7% of the shares outstanding before this offering.

ON-SITE SOURCING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
On-Site Sourcing, Inc. (the Company), was incorporated in the Commonwealth
of Virginia on December 15, 1992. During 1996, the Company was merged into a
newly formed Delaware Corporation. The Company operates in two segments, one of
which includes facilities management, litigation copying, and related services
at customer and company locations, and a second, which includes the purchase,
refurbishment, lease, sale and servicing of copy machines. The Company's
facilities management and litigation copying services are performed in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Arlington, Virginia; and Atlanta, Georgia. The
Company's copy machines business is conducted from the Company's Frederick,
Maryland, office. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the purchase,
refurbishment, lease, sale and servicing of copy machines was not material to
the financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from reprographic services is recognized on a per copy basis upon
completion of the services. Revenue from facilities management is recognized
based on monthly fixed fees and, in certain cases, variable per copy fees, as
contained in facilities management agreements. Revenue from the sale of
refurbished copiers is recognized when the copiers are shipped and transfer of
title occurs.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Specific incremental costs directly attributable to the planned initial
public offering (see Note N) are deferred and will be charged against the gross
proceeds of the offering. In the event the offering is not completed, the costs
will be charged to expense at that time.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes arise from temporary differences, primarily attributable to
differences between reporting, for tax purposes, on the cash basis, and for
financial statements, on the accrual basis.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on fixed assets is computed on a straight-line basis over an
estimated useful life of five years for financial reporting purposes.
Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company's common stock was split 100-for-one and 18-for-one in March
1995 and February 1996, respectively. All earnings per share amounts in the
financial statements have been restated to give effect to the stock splits.
Earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares outstanding during each
year. Such average shares include the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding (2,187,000 in 1995 and 2,097,000 in 1994) plus the shares issuable
upon exercise of stock options and warrants after the assumed repurchase of
common shares with the related proceeds (461,377 in 1995 and 1994). Options and
warrants

granted, as well as certain shares issued during the one-year period prior to
the planned initial public offering (see Note N), are treated as outstanding in
calculating earnings per share for both periods presented.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which is effective for 1996 financial statements.
SFAS No. 123 requires that stock-based compensation be accounted for on the fair
value method as described in SFAS No. 123, or on the intrinsic value-based
method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), whereby if
options are priced at fair market value or above on the date of grant, there is
no compensation expense of the options to the Company. If APB 25 is used, pro
forma net income and earnings per share must be disclosed as if the fair
value-based method had been applied. The Company intends to continue accounting
for its incentive stock option plan under APB 25; therefore, the only effect on
the Company's financial statements will be the pro forma disclosure.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."
SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest) is less than the carrying amount of the
asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of that loss would be based
on the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 121 also generally requires long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of to be reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less cost to sell. SFAS No.
121 is effective for the Company's 1996 fiscal year-end. The Company has made no
assessment of the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 at this time.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective December 31, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 107, which
requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial
instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet.
At December 31, 1995, financial instruments held consist of the Company's
line of credit and other current debt instruments for which fair value
approximates carrying value.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 1995, cash is
comprised of amounts held in demand deposit accounts.

NOTE H -- INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
In 1995, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan, under which a
pool of 510,000 shares has been reserved. The plan is administered and terms of
option grants are established by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the
plan, options may be granted to the Company's employees to purchase shares of
common stock. Options become exercisable ratably over a vesting period as
determined by the Board of Directors, and expire over terms not exceeding ten
years from the date of grant, three months after termination of employment, or
one year after the death or permanent disability of the employee. The Board of
Directors determines the option price (not less than fair market value) at the
date of grant.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, pursuant to an employment agreement, the
Company had outstanding options to sell 162,000 shares of common stock to an
officer/director of the Company at an exercise price of $.56 per share. These
options vest upon the attainment of certain performance goals. As of December
31, 1994, all options were vested. The options expire in March 1997.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding options to sell 126,000
shares of common stock to an officer/director at an exercise price of $1.11 per
share. As of December 31, 1995, options for 84,000 shares are vested, and
options for 42,000 shares are scheduled to vest in June 1996. The options expire
in December 2000.
During 1995, the Company granted to employees options for 216,000 shares of
common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.11 to $1.39 per share. As of
December 31, 1995, options for 60,000 of the shares are vested with the
remainder scheduled to vest through December 1998. The options expire through
December 2000.

certain fixed assets held under capital leases for approximately $117,000, which
was less than the remaining lease obligation. These purchases occurred before
the leases had expired. The purchase of these fixed assets resulted in a
reduction in the lease obligations of approximately $150,000, and a reduction in
basis of the corresponding fixed assets of approximately $33,000.

receivable at December 31, 1995, include approximately $82,000 in amounts due
from these customers. During 1994, two customers accounted for approximately
$399,000 (20%) and $324,000 (17%) of total gross sales.
NOTE M -- ACQUISITION OF SWR ASSOCIATES, INC.
On July 27, 1995, the Company acquired SWR Associates, Inc., d/b/a CRC
Copiers, Inc. (CRC), in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. CRC
is primarily engaged in the refurbishment, sales and service of photocopy
machines. The results of operations of CRC are included in the accompanying
financial statements since the date of acquisition. The total cost of the
acquisition was $10,000, which was less than the value of the net assets of CRC
by approximately $23,000. The excess was utilized to reduce fixed assets based
on fair market values. The acquisition is not deemed material to the Company and
pro forma operating results are therefore not presented.
At the time of the acquisition, the Company also entered into an employment
agreement with CRC's former owner to manage the acquired company. The agreement
calls for five years of compensation (see Note G) and stock options (see Note
H).
NOTE N -- PROPOSED PUBLIC OFFERING
On December 18, 1995, the Company executed a letter of intent for a proposed
initial public offering. As of June 6, 1996, the Company and the Underwriter
have agreed to modify the offer such that the Company will offer 960,000 units,
each consisting of two shares of common stock, $.01 par value and one common
stock purchase warrant, to the public at a currently anticipated price of $6.25
per unit. The warrants are redeemable by the Company for $.01 per warrant, upon
30 days prior written notice, provided the average closing bid price of the
common stock for ten consecutive days prior to the date of the redemption notice
is $7.00 or more per share. The Company has also granted the underwriters an
option to purchase up to 144,000 additional units, exercisable for a period of
45 days after the offering is commenced, solely to cover overallotments. Upon
the closing of the initial public offering, the underwriters will be granted
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 96,000 units at $8.45 per unit. The
warrants will be exercisable during a four-year period commencing one year from
the date of the initial public offering.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial
statements reflect all necessary adjustments and reclassifications that are
necessary for fair presentation for the periods presented. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included herein. The results of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company's common stock was split 100-for-one and 18-for-one in March
1995 and February 1996, respectively. All earnings per share amounts in the
financial statements have been restated to give effect to the stock splits.
Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares outstanding during each year.
Such average shares include the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding (2,187,000 in 1996 and 1995) plus the shares issuable upon exercise
of stock options and warrants after the assumed repurchase of common shares with
the related proceeds (461,377 in 1996 and 1995). Options and warrants granted,
as well as certain shares issued during the one-year period prior to the planned
initial public offering (see Note H), are treated as outstanding in calculating
earnings per share for both periods presented.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121 requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum
of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of that loss is based on the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 121
also generally requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
to be disposed of to be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair
value less cost to sell. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no effect on the
Company's financial statements as of March 31, 1996.
NOTE B -- CREDIT FACILITIES
At March 31, 1996, the Company had available a $450,000 working capital line
of credit at the bank's prime rate (8.25%) plus 2%, which is due on demand. The
credit facility is collateralized by the assets of the Company and guaranteed by
the Company's chairman, and the Company's president and his spouse. Borrowings
under the working capital line of credit were $375,000. The credit facility was
renewed on April 1, 1996, and the interest rate was modified to prime plus 1%.
The line of credit expires on April 1, 1997.

with the violation of the covenants.

(prime plus 2%) maturing at various dates through October 1998. On January 30,
1996, the Company borrowed $150,000 from the bank with interest at an annual
rate of 10.25% variable interest (prime plus 2%). The note is due and payable
from the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering. The notes are

option grants are established by the Board of Directors. Under the terms of the
plan, options may be granted to the Company's employees to purchase shares of
common stock. Options become exercisable ratably over a vesting period as
determined by the Board of Directors, and expire over terms not exceeding ten
years from the date of grant, three months after termination of employment, or
one year after the death or permanent disability of the employee. The Board of
Directors determines the option price (not less than fair market value) at the
date of grant.
At March 31, 1995, pursuant to an employment agreement, the Company had
outstanding options to sell 162,000 shares of common stock to an
officer/director of the Company at an exercise price of $.56 per share. The
options, which were fully vested during 1994, were exercised on March 29, 1996
for $90,000. In connection with the exercise of the options, the Company loaned
$89,900 to the officer/director which is included in accounts and notes
receivable -- shareholders at March 31, 1996. The loan bears interest at 6% per
year with a payment of $40,000 due on May 1, 1996 and the remaining principal
and interest due April 1, 1998.

The sales of securities described above were made in reliance upon Section
4(2) of the 1933 Act, which provides exemptions for transactions not involving a
public offering.
With regard to the Company's reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act of the sale of securities described

qualified for such exemption. In particular, the Company confirmed that with
respect to the exemption claimed under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act (i) each
investor made representations that he or she was sophisticated and/or an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the 1933 Act in
relation to such investments and (ii) each purchaser gave assurance of his or
her investment intent, and the certificates for the securities bear a legend
accordingly.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
A. CERTIFICATES
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
B. RULE 415 OFFERING
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: (i) Include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement and; (iii) Include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the Offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
C. REQUEST FOR ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVE DATE
The Company may elect to request acceleration of the effective date of the
Registration Statement under Rule 461 of the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the small business issuer
II-5
<PAGE>
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration

enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective
terms, assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto

equitable remedies of injunction and specific performance and

At the Closing Date the Company shall issue the Offered Units and the shares

banker's draft drawn upon New York Clearing House Bank and payable at par or
in immediately available funds together with the Underwriter's receipt for
such Common Stock and Warrant certificates against delivery of the Company's

Units, as the Underwriter may designate, available for inspection at least
24 hours prior to the Firm Closing Date. The shares of the Common Stock and
the Warrants comprising the Firm Offered Units will be separately
transferrable 30 business days after the date of the Prospectus or earlier

(b) For the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with
the distribution and sale of the Firm Offered Units as contemplated by the

purchase up to 144,000 Units (the "Over-Allotment Option Offered Units").
The purchase price to be paid for the Over-Allotment Option Offered Units
shall be the same price per Unit as set forth above in Paragraph (a) of this
Section 3. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised as to all or any part
thereof from time to time within 30 days after the date of the Prospectus.

for such Over-Allotment Option Offered Units, given by the Underwriter to
the Company at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last day

Closing Date shall not be earlier than two business days or later than 7
business days after such exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and, in any
event, shall not be earlier than the Firm Closing Date. The purchase and
sale of the Over-Allotment Option Offered Units which are specified in the
notice of exercise of all or part of the Over-Allotment Option shall be held
on the Over-Allotment Option Closing Date or such other date or place as may
be agreed in writing by the Underwriter and the Company. The Underwriter
shall not be under any obligation to purchase any of the Over-Allotment
Option Offered Units prior to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.
Upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option as provided herein, the Company
shall become obligated to sell to the Underwriter, and, subject to the terms
and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriter

certificates in definitive (or, if not available, temporary) form for such
Over-Allotment Option Offered Units, and payment therefor, shall be

5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND THE UNDERWRITER.
A. The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriter that:
(a) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement, if not effective at the time of execution of this Agreement,
and any amendments thereto, to become effective as promptly as possible.
If required, the Company will file the Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto with the Commission in the manner and within the time
period required by Rule 424(b) under the Act. During any time when a
prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered under the
Act, the Company: (i) will comply with all requirements imposed upon it
by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder to
the extent necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in
the Units in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented; and (ii) will not file with the
Commission the Prospectus or the amendment referred to in the second
sentence of Section 2(a)(i) hereof, any amendment to the Registration
Statement of which the Underwriter shall not previously have been advised
and furnished with a copy for a reasonable period of time prior to the
proposed filing and as to which filing the Underwriter shall have
reasonably objected. The Company will prepare and file with the
Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Commission, promptly upon request by the Underwriter or counsel for the
Underwriter, any amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments
or supplements to the Prospectus that may be necessary or advisable in
connection with the distribution of the Offered Units by the Underwriter,
and will use its best efforts to cause any such amendment to the
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as
promptly as possible. The Company will advise the Underwriter, promptly
after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the Registration
Statement, or any amendment thereto, has been filed or declared effective
or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed
and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriter of each such
filing or effectiveness.
(b) The Company will advise the Underwriter, promptly after receiving
notice or obtaining knowledge thereof, of: (i) the issuance by any
Regulatory Authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or any order
preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; (ii) the suspension of
the qualification of the Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction;
(iii) the institution, threatening or contemplation of any proceeding for
any such purpose; or (iv) any request made by any entity, governmental or
otherwise, having jurisdiction over this offering, is made or is proposed
to be made ("Regulatory Authority") for amending the Registration
Statement, for amending or supplementing any Prospectus or for additional
information. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any such stop order and, if any such stop order is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal thereof as promptly as possible.
9
<PAGE>
(c) The Company will use its best efforts to arrange for the
qualification of the Units and the shares of Common Stock and the
Warrants comprising the Units (and the Units to be offered by the Selling
Stockholders) for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws
of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter may designate, and will continue
such qualification in effect for as long as may be necessary to complete
the distribution of the Units and the shares of Common Stock and the
Warrants comprising the Units, provided however, that in connection with
such qualification the Company shall not be required to qualify as a
foreign corporation in any such jurisdiction.
(d) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or result in, or which was constituted or which might
reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any securities of the Company.
(e) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Units is
required to be delivered under applicable securities legislation and the
rules and regulations of the appropriate Regulatory Authority thereunder,
any event occurs as a result of which any Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at any time to
amend or supplement any Prospectus to comply with applicable securities
legislation and the rules and regulations of the appropriate Regulatory
Authority thereunder, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter
thereof and, subject to Paragraph 10(a) hereof, will prepare and file
with the Commission, and file with or deliver to each other appropriate
Regulatory Authority, at the Company's expense, an amendment to the
Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to such Prospectus
that corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance.
(f) The Company will, without charge, provide: (i) to the Underwriter
and to counsel for the Underwriter, two signed copies of the registration
statement originally filed with respect to the Units and each amendment
thereto (in each case including exhibits thereto); and (ii) so long as a
prospectus relating to the Units is required to be delivered under the
Act, as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto as the Underwriter may reasonably
request. The Company will provide or cause to be provided to the
Underwriter and to each other Underwriter or broker-dealer in a selling
group for this Offering that so requests in writing, a copy of the report
on Form SR filed by the Company as required by Rule 463 under the Act.
(g) The Company at its own expense, will give and continue to give
such financial statements and other information to and as may be required
by the Commission and by any Regulatory Authority in any jurisdiction in
which the Offering is to occur, or the public bodies of the jurisdictions
in which the Units may be qualified. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company at its own expense, as soon as practicable,
will make generally available to its security holders and to the
Underwriter an earnings statement of the Company that satisfies the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

Units as set forth under the headings "Prospectus Summary -- Use of

Company will furnish to the Underwriter: (A) as soon as practicable after
it is (x) filed with the Commission, any Regulatory Authority or any
securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company may
be listed or (y) distributed to security holders of the Company, a copy
of each annual, interim and other report or communication so filed or
distributed; and (B) as soon as
10
<PAGE>
available, a copy of each report or definitive proxy statement of the
Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, or mailed to
security holders (including, upon written request, all related exhibits
thereto).

shares of Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units to be duly
authorized for inclusion in the NASDAQ System, and the Pacific Stock
Exchange, respectively, subject to notice of issuance prior to the Firm
Closing Date.
(k) Subsequent to the date of this Agreement and through the Firm
Closing Date, except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, the
Company will not take any action that will result in the Company
incurring, or refrain from taking any action that would prevent it from
incurring, any material liability or obligation, direct or contingent, or
enter into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of its
business, and there will not be any material change in capital stock,
short-term debt or long-term debt, obligations under capital leases of
the Company or any issuance of options, warrants, or rights to purchase
shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company or any
agreement to purchase any of its outstanding capital stock or any
declaration or payment of any dividend on any class or series of capital
stock of the Company.
(l) The Company will provide the Underwriter and its counsel with
copies of all comment letters and all other correspondence and with
contents of any oral comments received from any Regulatory Authority, as
soon as practicable after receipt thereof, and will supply the
Underwriter and its counsel with 2 bound volumes containing copies of all
filings and correspondence with the Commission and any other Regulatory
Authority relating to the offering.
(m) The Underwriter shall have the right to request the Company to
nominate one (1) designee of the Underwriter for election to the Board of
Directors for three (3) years following the Effective Date, and the
Company will use its best efforts to cause such nominee to be elected to
the Board of Directors. Such director shall not receive compensation from
the Company for services as a director in an amount greater than
compensation paid to other outside directors of the Company.
(n) The Company agrees to retain the Underwriter as an independent
consultant and investment banker for the Company for a period of two (2)
years from and after the date of the Prospectus, at a fee of $2,500 per

business relating to the offering of the Units contemplated herein
reasonably in accordance with all applicable laws.

it in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Units;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except if the sale of the offered Units is not
consummated because of said failure, refusal or inability on the part of the
Company, the Underwriter shall refund to the Company the amount, if any, by

that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission;
(xviii) the Company is not currently subject to regulation under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(xix) to the knowledge of such counsel, the Company possesses all
certificates, permits and licenses issued by the appropriate federal,
state or local regulatory authorities, which would have a material
adverse effect if such certificate, permit or license was not possessed
by the Company, necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted
and to the knowledge of such counsel, after investigation, the Company
has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such certificates, authorizations, permits and
licenses which, singularly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse
effect on the Company; and
(xx) to the best of the knowledge of such counsel, except as disclosed
in the Prospectus, the Company owns or possesses the rights to use
patents and licenses and proprietary or other confidential information
currently used by it for the conduct of its business and neither the
Company nor such counsel has received a notice of infringement of or
conflict with rights

asserted against the Company by any third party with respect to any of
the foregoing which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse
effect on the Company, except as described in or contemplated by the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated therein will not alter or impair any such
rights. The statements set forth under the heading "Risk Factors --
Competition" and the corresponding discussion under "Business --
Competition" have been reviewed by such counsel and fairly present the
information disclosed therein in all material respects;
(xxi) to the best knowledge of such counsel, the statements set forth
under the headings "Risk Factors -- Dependence on Key Personnel";
"Dependence on Key Customers;" "Sensitivity to Service Economy:" and all
materials under the prime caption "BUSINESS" have been reviewed by such
counsel and fairly present the information disclosed therein in all
material respects.
Such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with
officers and representatives of the Company, representatives of the
independent accountants of the Company and representatives of the
Underwriter, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel
makes no representation, express or implied, that it has independently
verified, and such counsel is not passing upon and does not assume any
responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than as set
forth in Paragraph (vi) above), on the basis of the foregoing and relying
thereon, no facts have come to the attention of such counsel which lead them
to believe that the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as of its
effective date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or that any Prospectus, as of its
date or the date of such opinion, included or includes any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Such counsel may advise the Underwriter that such counsel expresses no
opinion or belief as to the financial statements, schedules and other
financial and statistical information included in or excluded from the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus.
In rendering any such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters
of facts, to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of public
officials and, as to matters involving the application of laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware or the United States, to the
extent satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Underwriter, upon
the opinion of other counsel acceptable to the Underwriter. Copies of such
opinion shall be delivered to the Underwriter and counsel for the
Underwriter and shall expressly state that all such counsel may rely on such
opinion.
References to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in this
Paragraph (c) shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date
of such opinion.
(d) The Underwriter shall have received from Grant Thornton LLP, letters
dated the date hereof and the Firm Closing Date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Underwriter, to the effect that:
(i) they are independent accountants with respect to the Company
within the meaning of the Act and Regulation S-B and the applicable
published rules and regulations thereunder;
(ii) in their opinion, the audited financial statements and schedules
examined by them and included in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus comply in form in all material
16
<PAGE>
respects with all applicable accounting requirements, including, without
limitation, the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and
Regulation S-B, and the related published rules and regulations; and
(iii) they have carried out certain specified procedures, not
constituting an audit, with respect to certain amounts, percentages and
financial information that are derived from the general accounting
records of the Company and are included in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus under the headings "Prospectus Summary", "The Company",
"Risk Factors", "Dividend Policy", "Capitalization", "Dilution",
"Selected Financial Data", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Business", "Management",
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management",
"Certain Transactions", and have compared such amounts, percentages and
financial information with the accounting records of the Company and with
information derived from such records and have found them to be in
agreement, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.
(iv) On the basis of limited procedures, not constituting an audit, a
reading of the latest financial statements of the Company, reading the
minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and stockholders of the
Company, inquiries of certain officials of the Company responsible for
financial and accounting matters and such other inquiries and procedures
as may be specified in such letters, nothing came to their attention
which in their judgment would cause them to believe that during the
period from the last audited balance sheet included in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not in existence,
the most current Preliminary Prospectus) to a specified date not more
than five days prior to date of such letter (a) there has been any change
in the common stock or other securities of the Company or any payment or
declaration of any dividend or other distribution in respect thereof or
exchange therefor from that shown on its audited balance sheets or in the
debt of the Company from that shown in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not in existence, the most current
Preliminary Prospectus) so as to make said financial statements
misleading; (b) any decrease in stockholders' equity or in the net sales
of the Company; and (c) on the basis of the procedures indicated above,
nothing has come to their attention which, in their judgment, would cause
them to believe or indicate that the audited financial statement
appearing in the Prospectus (or, if the Prospectus is not in existence,
the most current Preliminary Prospectus), or the unaudited financial
statements, whether or not appearing in the Prospectus (or, if the
Prospectus is not in existence, the most current Preliminary Prospectus),
do not, at the dates of such letters, present fairly the financial
position and the results of the Company for the periods indicated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis. The Underwriter and its counsel may request such other
information and statements to be contained in the aforesaid letters from
Grant Thornton LLP, provided that such additional material shall be
reasonably within the purview of the Statement on Auditing Standards No.
72 issued February, 1993 by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, Inc.
In the event that the letter referred to above sets forth any such
changes,decreases or increases, it shall be a further condition to the
obligations of the Underwriter that: (A) such letter shall be accompanied by
a written explanation of the Company as to the significance thereof, unless
the Underwriter deems such explanation unnecessary; and (B) such changes,
decreases or increases do not, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter
make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase and the
delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Registration Statement, as
amended as of the date hereof.
References to the Registration Statement and any Prospectus in this
Paragraph (d) with respect to the letters referred to above shall include
any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter
and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriter
or such controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange
Act, the Securities Laws of the Qualifying Jurisdictions, or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered to
the Underwriter pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement;
(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in: (A) the registration statement originally filed with
respect to the Units or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus
or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; or (B) any
application or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
executed by the Company or based upon written information furnished by or
on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify
the Units under the securities or blue sky laws thereof or filed with the
Commission or any securities association or securities exchange
(individually and/or collectively as the "Application"); or
(iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration
statement or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, the
Underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other
properly vouchered expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter or
such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending
against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company will not be liable (x) in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in such registration statement or any amendment thereto,
any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any Application in reliance upon and in conformity with
statements contained therein relating to the Underwriter where such
documents have been provided by the Underwriter specifically for
inclusion in the Registration Statement or Prospectus contained therein,
or (y) to the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter with
respect to any such untrue statement or omission made in any Preliminary
Prospectus that is corrected in the related Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) if the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage or liability purchased Units from such Underwriter but was not
sent or given a copy of such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) at
or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Units to such
person in any case where such delivery of such
19
<PAGE>
Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) is required by the Act or the
Securities Laws, unless such failure to deliver such Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) was a result of non-compliance by the Company
with Section 5 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be liable for the settlement of any claim or action in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder effected without the
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
or obligation which the Company may otherwise have.
The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the
Underwriter, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in
any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of
which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Underwriter or any person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such
claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of the Underwriter and each such
controlling person from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding.
(b) The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, any such director or
officer of the Company or any such controlling person of the Company may
become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, the Securities Laws of the
Qualifying Jurisdiction or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any Application; or (ii) the omission or the alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto,
any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any Application a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
PROVIDED, however, that the foregoing obligation of the Underwriter
is subject, in each case, to the requirement that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with statements contained therein relating
to the Underwriter where such information has been specifically provided by
the Underwriter for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set
forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse upon receipt of
proper vouchers, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company, any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with defending any such loss, claim damage liability or action in
respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought
against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are
20
<PAGE>
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party,
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel
to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election
so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of
counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other
expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof,
unless: (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being
understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying
party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel
(in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but
substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the Underwriter in
the case of Paragraph (a) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified
parties under such Paragraph (a) who are parties to such action or actions);
or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for
the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the
indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any
settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the
consent of the indemnifying party, unless such indemnified party waived its
rights under this Section 8 in which case the indemnified party may effect
such a settlement without such consent.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding
Paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect: (i) the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Offered
Units; or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing Clause (i) is not
permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the
relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds
from the offering of the Offered Units (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriter in connection therewith. The relative fault of
the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or the Underwriter, the parties' relative intents, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or
per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not
take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first
sentence of this Paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Paragraph (d), the Underwriter shall not be obligated to make contributions
hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total public offering price of
the Offered Units purchased by the Underwriter under this Agreement, less
the aggregate amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim,
and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11 (f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For
21
<PAGE>
purposes of this Paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls the
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter,
and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
9. SURVIVAL.
The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants,
indemnities and other statements of the Company, their officers and the
Underwriter set forth in this Agreement, shall remain in full force and
effect until three years from the Effective Time, regardless of: (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of their officers or
directors, the Underwriter or any controlling person referred to in Section
8 hereof; and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Offered Units.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the respective agreements,
covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 5 through
8 hereof shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination
or cancellation of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect
after Closing.
10. TERMINATION.

Units or any Over-Allotment Option Offered Units in the sole discretion of

that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any or
all obligations and satisfy any or all conditions on its part to be

interference with its business or property from fire, flood, hurricane,
accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from
any labor dispute or any legal or governmental proceeding or there shall
have been any material adverse change, or any development involving a
prospective material adverse change including, without limitation, the
event that any of the persons described under the caption "Management --
Directors, Executive Officers, and Key Employees" as employees of the
Company shall cease to be employed by the Company, and/or a change in
management or control of the Company, shall have occurred or a material
adverse change occurs, in the condition (financial or otherwise),
business prospects, net worth or results of operations of the Company;
(ii) trading in the Units shall have been suspended or halted by any
applicable securities commission or regulator in the United States or by
NASDAQ, or trading in securities general on NASDAQ shall have been
suspended, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on
such exchange, or trading in any securities of the Company shall have
been suspended or halted by any national securities exchange upon which
such securities are listed or the appropriate Regulatory Authorities;
(iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by authorities of
the City of New York, the States of New Jersey or New York, or the United
States of America; or
(iv) there shall have been: (A) an outbreak of hostilities between the
United States and any foreign power; (B) an outbreak of any other
insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States; or (C) any
other calamity or crisis having, in the case of Sections 11(a)(iv)(A),

in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter it is impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
Offered Units, as contemplated by the Registration Statement, as amended
as of the date hereof.

sum of $0.001 per Unit to purchase this Option. Thereafter, the purchase
price ("Purchase Price") shall be $8.45 per Unit. The adjusted purchase price
shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any and all
adjustments of the initial purchase price in accordance with the provisions
of Article 6 hereof.
4.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The term "Purchase Price" herein shall mean the
Purchase Price or the adjusted purchase price, depending upon the context.
5. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
In the event that the Units covered by this Option, and the Unit
Warrants and shares of Common Stock comprising the same, and/or the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unit Warrants, are not at any
future date registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the
Act") by a then-effective registration statement:
5.1 DEMAND REGISTRATION. If the Holders of at least fifty percent
(50%) of this Option and/or Units or other securities obtained upon exercise
of this Option and/or exercise of the Warrants contained in the Units acquired
upon exercise of this Option, shall give notice to the Company at any time
from ___________, 1996 until 5:00 P.M., E.S.T. ____________, 2001, to the
effect that such Holder desires to register under the Act, the Units or any
of the underlying securities contained in the Units underlying the Option
(the "Option Securities") under such circumstances that public distribution
(within the meaning of the Act) of any such securities will be involved, then
the Company will promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after receipt
of such notice, file a post-effective amendment to the current Registration
Statement or a new registration statement pursuant to the Act, as may be
required, to the end that the Option Securities may be publicly sold under
the Act as promptly as practicable thereafter and the Company will use its
best efforts to cause such registration to become and remain effective
(including the taking of such steps as are necessary to obtain the removal of
any stop order); provided, that such Holder shall furnish the Company with
appropriate information in connection therewith as the Company may reasonably
request in writing. The Holder may, at its option, request the filing of a
post-effective amendment to the current Registration Statement or a new
registration statement under the Act on one occasion only at the Company's
expense during the five year period beginning ____________, 1996 and ending
at 5:00 P.M., E.S.T. on ____________, 2001. The Holder may, at its option,
request the registration of the Option and/or any of the securities
underlying the Option in a registration statement made by the Company as
contemplated by this section or in connection with a request made pursuant to
this section prior to acquisition of the Units issuable upon exercise of the
Option and, provided such notice is given prior to 5:00 P.M., New York time
on ____________, 2001, even though the Holder has not given notice of
exercise of the Option. The Holder may, at its option, request such post-
-3-
<PAGE>
effective amendment or new registration statement during the described period
with respect to the Option, the Units as a unit, or separately as to the
Common Stock and/or Unit Warrants (and Common Stock underlying the same)
issuable upon the exercise of the Option, and such registration rights may be
exercised by the Holder prior to or subsequent to the exercise of the Option.
Within ten days after receiving any such notice pursuant to this subsection,
the Company shall give notice to the other Holders of the Option, advising
that the Company is proceeding with such post-effective amendment or
registration statement and offering to include therein the securities
underlying the Option of the other Holders, provided that they shall furnish
the Company with such appropriate information (relating to the intentions of
such Holders) in connection therewith as the Company shall reasonably request
in writing. In the event the registration statement is not filed within the
period specified herein and the expiration date of the Option falls within
such period, the expiration date of this Option shall be extended by an
amount of time equal to the delay in filing, and in the event the
registration statement is not declared effective under the Act prior to the
expiration date of this Option, the Company shall extend the expiration date
of the Option to a date not less than ninety (90) days after the effective
date of such registration statement. All costs and expenses of such
post-effective amendment of new registration statement shall be borne by the
Company, as provided in paragraph 5.4 hereof. The Company shall maintain such
registration statement or post-effective amendment current under the Act for
a period of at least six months (and for up to an additional three months if
requested by the Holder) from the effective date thereof. The Company shall
supply prospectuses, and such other documents as the Holder may request in
order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Option
Securities, use its best efforts to register and qualify any of the Option
Securities for sale in such states as such Holder designates and furnish
indemnification in the manner provided in paragraph 5.3(c) hereof.
5.2 FAILURE TO EXERCISE DEMAND REGISTRATION. The Holders demanding
registration pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof shall not be required to exercise
the purchase rights represented by this Option prior to demanding
registration rights hereunder. If, however, the Holders demand such
registration rights and the Company prepares and files a registration
statement or post-effective amendment as a result of such demand and the
Holders thereafter elect not to exercise the purchase rights represented by
this Option during the period that such registration statement or
post-effective amendment is effective, or three months after the effective
date, whichever is earlier, the demand registration right provided by Section
5.1 hereof shall nonetheless have been satisfied. The Holders may obtain the
right to demand another registration hereunder by reimbursing all of the
Company's direct and its reasonable indirect expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation and filing of such registration statement or
post-effective amendment. The Company shall submit its invoice for such
expenses to the Holders. The Holders may request confirmation or other
assurances from the Company or its auditors with respect to such expenses.
Thereafter the Holders shall have thirty (30) days within which to pay such
invoice, or adjusted invoice as the case may be, in full to the Company. Upon
payment of such invoice in full the Holders shall have the right to a single
demand registration in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1 hereof.
-4-
<PAGE>
5.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. The Company will, until ____________, 2001,
afford all holders of the Option and/or Option Securities, in addition
to the demand registration rights in Section 5.1, the right to add such
Option and Option Securities to any registration statement filed by the
Company, without cost or expense to the Holders hereof.
5.4 COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO REGISTRATION. In
connection with any registration under Section 5.1 hereof, the Company
covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Company shall use its best efforts to have a registration
statement, if any, declared effective at the earliest practicable time, and
shall furnish each Holder such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be
requested.
(b) The Company will take all reasonably necessary action which
may be required in qualifying or registering the Option Securities included in
a registration statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue
sky laws of such states as are requested by the Holders provided that the
Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to
service of process or to quality as a foreign corporation to do business
under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
(c) The Company shall indemnify the Holders of the Option (and
underlying securities) to be sold pursuant to any registration statement and
each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or
liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may
become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from
such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as
the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the
Holder contained in the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement")
between the Company and the Holder relating to the Registration Statement.
(d) The Holders of the Option Securities to be sold pursuant to a
registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally and
not jointly indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage
or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which
they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising
from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their
successors or assigns, for specific inclusion in such registration statement
to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to
which the Holder has agreed to indemnify the Company contained in the
Underwriting Agreement.

5.5 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

connection with all registration statements under Section 5.1, or for the
sale of the Option Securities under 5.2, including, without limitation, legal
and accounting fees, printing expenses and blue sky fees and expenses, except
that the Company shall not pay for any of the following costs, fees or
expenses: (i) underwriting discounts and commissions allocable to the Option
Securities, (ii) federal or state transfer taxes, and (iii) brokerage
commissions.
(b) Commencing with the month in which notice of exercise of the
Option is received, the Company shall promptly pay or reimburse, as the case
may be, all expenses of registration and/or of the Holder in connection
therewith.
6. ADJUSTMENTS IN PRICE AND TERM.
6.1 GENERAL. It is the intention of the parties that the Holders shall
not receive any benefits in the terms of the Option Securities contained in
the Units underlying this Option which are not generally available to the
holders of the publicly issued Units. Accordingly, the Exercise Price or
Purchase Price and/or number, as the case may be, of the Units, Common Stock
and Warrants covered by this Option shall only be modified to the extent that
the holders of such securities (i.e., Units, Common Stock and Warrants) which
are being contemporaneously offered to the public are entitled to such
adjustments.
6.2 ADJUSTMENT OF UNIT WARRANT PURCHASE PRICE AND SHARES ON EXERCISE OF
UNIT WARRANT. In furtherance of the provisions of this Article 6, with
respect to any of the Unit Warrants underlying this Option, whether or not
this Option has been exercised with respect thereto and whether or not the
Unit Warrants are issued and outstanding, the Unit Warrant purchase price and
the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any such Unit Warrants shall
be automatically adjusted in accordance with Section 9 of the Warrant
Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the events described therein.
Thereafter, the underlying Unit Warrants shall be exercisable at such
adjusted Unit Warrant purchase price and for such adjusted number of
underlying shares of Common Stock. Any adjustments made with respect to the
purchase price or the number of shares underlying the Unit Warrants shall
likewise be made with respect to the Unit Warrants underlying this Option and
the Holder shall be entitled to receive all notices sent to Holders of the
Unit Warrants, whether or not this Option has been exercised.
7. EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF OPTION.
This Option is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof
by the registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company,
for a new Option of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of Units as are purchasable
-6-
<PAGE>
hereunder in such denominations as shall be designated by the Holder hereof
at the time of such surrender.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Option, and,in case of
loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory
to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental
thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Option, if mutilated,
the Company will make and deliver a new Option of like tenor, in lieu of this
Option.
8. ELIMINATION OF FRACTIONAL INTERESTS.
The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing
fractions of shares of Common Stock or fractions of Unit Warrants on the
exercise of this Option, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash
in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all
fractional interests shall be eliminated pursuant to Section 6.4
9. RESERVATION AND LISTING OF SECURITIES.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon
the exercise of this Option, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
be issuable upon the exercise hereof and thereof. The Company covenants and
agrees that, upon exercise of this Option and payment of the Purchase Price
therefor, all shares of Common Stock or Warrants issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company
further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of the Unit Warrants
underlying this Option, as the case may be, and, in the case of the Warrants,
payment of the Unit Warrant exercise price (as defined below) therefor, all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise shall be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As long as this
Option shall be outstanding, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause
all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Option, all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Unit
Warrants and all Units and Unit Warrants underlying this Option to be listed
(subject to official notice of issuance) on all securities exchanges on which
the Common Stock, or the Units or Unit Warrants issued to the public in
connection herewith may then be listed and/or quoted on NASDAQ.
10. NOTICES TO OPTION HOLDERS.
Nothing contained in this Option shall be construed as conferring upon
the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a
stockholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration
of this Option and prior to its exercise, any of the following events shall
occur:
-7-
<PAGE>
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution payable otherwise than in cash; or
(b) The Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock
any additional shares of capital stock of the Company or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company,
or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefor; or
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other
than in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or
substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall
be proposed; then, in one or more of said events, the Company shall give
written notice of such event to the Holder or Holders of this Option at the
same time and in the same form as such notice is given to the shareholders of
the Company. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or
payment of any such dividend, or the issuance of any convertible or
exchangeable securities, or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.
11. UNIT WARRANTS.
The form of the certificate representing Unit Warrants (and the form of
election to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Unit
Warrants and the form of assignment printed on the reverse thereof) shall be
substantially as set forth in Exhibit "B" to the Warrant Agreement. Each Unit
Warrant issuable upon exercise of this Option shall evidence the right to
purchase initially the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Common Stock at the initial purchase price per share, of $6.00, until 5:00
P.M., E.D.T. on ____________, 2001, at which time the Unit Warrants expire.
The exercise price of the Unit Warrants as set out in this Section 11 and the
number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Unit Warrants are subject
to adjustment, whether or not they have been issued, in the manner and upon
the occurrence of the events set forth in the Warrant Agreement which is
hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if more
fully set forth herein. Subject to the provisions of this Option and upon
issuance of the Unit Warrants underlying this Option, each registered Holder
of such Unit Warrants shall have the right to purchase from the Company (and
the Company shall issue to such registered Holders) up to the number of fully
paid non-assessable shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit Warrants
(subject to adjustment as provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement), free
and clear of all preemptive rights of stockholders, provided that such
registered Holder complies with the terms governing exercise of the Unit
Warrants set forth in the Warrant Agreement, and pays the applicable Warrant
exercise price, determined in accordance with the terms hereof and the
Warrant Agreement, such payment to be made in the manner provided in the
Warrant Agreement. Upon exercise of the Unit Warrants and payment of the Unit
Warrant exercise price, the Company shall forthwith issue to the registered
Holder of any such Unit Warrant in the name of such holder or in such name as
may be directed by such holder, certificates for the number of shares
-8-
<PAGE>
of Common Stock so purchased. The Company shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, nor shall it
be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it
being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be
eliminated. The Unit Warrants underlying this Option shall be governed in all
respects by the terms of the Warrant Agreement (including the anti-dilution
provisions thereof). In the event that any Unit Warrant is exercised for less
than the number of shares of Common Stock underlying it at any time prior to
its expiration, the Company shall issue a new Unit Warrant or Unit Warrants
for the remaining number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit
Warrant(s). The Unit Warrants shall be transferable in the manner provided in
the Warrant Agreement, and upon and such transfer, a new Unit Warrant shall
be issued promptly to the transferee. In the event the Warrant Agreement is
modified, amended, cancelled, altered or superseded through the agreement of
the Company and the Holders of the Options ("Modification"), the Holder or
Holders will not be bound by such Modification without their consent.

ARTICLE 1
STOCKHOLDERS
1.1 ANNUAL MEETINGS
An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of
directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of
Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from
time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual
meeting.
1.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS
Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be
called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board
of Directors which has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and
whose powers and authority, as expressly provided in a resolution of the
Board of Directors, include the power to call such meetings. Special
meetings shall be called by the Board of Directors upon the written request
of stockholders owning ten percent (10%) of the entire capital stock of
On-Site Sourcing, Inc. issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such
request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.
1.3 NOTICE OF MEETINGS
Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a
meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the
place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting,
the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise
provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, the
written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than
sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to
vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when
deposited in the mail,
-1-
<PAGE>
postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on
the records of the corporation.
1.4 ADJOURNMENTS
Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to
time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be
given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned
meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been
transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than
thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
1.5 QUORUM
Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or
these by-laws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which
could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to
vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum.
In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority
vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section
1.4 of these by-laws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock
belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other
corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall
neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation to
vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a
fiduciary capacity.
1.6 ORGANIZATION
Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the
Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any,
or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or
in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board
of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at
the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his
absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as
secretary of the meeting.
-2-
<PAGE>
1.7 VOTING: PROXIES
Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, each
stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled
to one vote for each share of stock held by him which has voting power upon
the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy,
but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its
date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy
shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as
long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an
irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an
instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy
bearing a later date with the Secretary of the corporation. Voting at
meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be
conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of
shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the
holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are
present in person or by proxy at such meeting. At all meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast
shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless
otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws,
be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of
the votes which could be cast by the holders of all shares of stock entitled
to vote thereon which are present in person or represented by proxy at the
meeting.
1.8 FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD
In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution
or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of
any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other
lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record
date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record
date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the
case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law,
not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting; (2) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more
than ten days from the date
-3-
<PAGE>
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors; and (3) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than
sixty days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at
a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the
close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is
held; (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express
consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action
of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on
which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to
be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law,
or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at
the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the
resolution taking such prior action; and (3) the record date for determining
stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the
day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for
the adjourned meeting.
1.9 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote
at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of
each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each
stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder,
for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a
period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within
the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in
the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the
meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time
and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected
by any stockholder who is present. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the
directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of
directors, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such
meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders
or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any
meeting of stockholders.

<PAGE>
1.10 ACTION BY CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any
action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a
meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Board of Directors for any cause may be filled by a majority of the remaining
members of the Board of Directors, although such majority is less than a
quorum, or by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders, and
each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term
of office of the director whom he has replaced or until his successor is
elected and qualified.

Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting thereof by means of

of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
Except in cases in which the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws

Directors.

Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the
Board, if any, or in his absence by the President, or in their absence by a

meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any
person to act as secretary of the meeting.
2.8 INFORMAL ACTION BY DIRECTORS
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a
meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the
case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are

ARTICLE 3
COMMITTEES

business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the

Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee

Board of Directors, if any, or the President or Vice President, and by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him
in the corporation. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be a

effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date

destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a
bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it
on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction
-8-
<PAGE>
of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION
The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law as presently exists or may hereafter be amended,
any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is
otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the
fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust,
enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses
reasonably incurred by such person. The corporation shall be required to
indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person
only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
corporation.
6.2 PREPAYMENT OF EXPENSES
The corporation shall pay the expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the
payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an
undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it
should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled
to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.
6.3 CLAIMS
If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Article
is not paid in full within sixty days after a written claim therefor has been
received by the corporation the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid
amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action
the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not
entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under
applicable law.
-9-
<PAGE>
6.4 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS
The rights conferred on any person by this Article 6 shall not be
exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these
by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.
6.5 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION
The corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or
is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as
indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
6.6 AMENDMENT OR REPEAL
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 6
shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in
respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or
modification.
ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS

The corporate seal shall have the name of the corporation inscribed
thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the
Board of Directors.
7.2 WAIVER OF NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. DIRECTORS AND
COMMITTEES
Any written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice,
whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent
to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a
committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
-10-
<PAGE>
7.3 INTERESTED DIRECTORS: QUORUM
No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of
its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other
corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or
more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a
financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or
solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the
meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the
contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for
such purpose, if: (1) the material facts as to his relationship or interest
and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board
of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in
good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of
a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested
directors be less than a quorum; or (2) the material facts as to his
relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed
or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract
or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the
stockholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair as to the
corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the
Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or
interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum
at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the
contract or transaction.
7.4 FORM OF RECORDS
Any records maintained by the corporation in the regular course of its

<PAGE>

thereon a facsimile of the Company's seal. Warrant Certificates shall be
manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any
purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall
have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be an officer of the
Company or to hold the particular office referenced in the Warrant Certificate
before the date of issuance of the Warrant Certificates or before
countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issue and delivery thereof, such
Warrant Certificates may nevertheless be countersigned by the Warrant Agent,
issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who
signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be an officer of the Company
or to hold such office. After countersignature by the Warrant Agent, Warrant
Certificates shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Registered Holder
without further action by the Company, except as otherwise provided by Section
4(a) hereof.
SECTION 4. EXERCISE.
Each Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof at any time
on or after the Initial Exercise Date, but not after the Warrant Expiration
Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the
applicable Warrant Certificate. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the Exercise Date and the person
entitled to receive the securities deliverable upon such exercise shall be
treated for all purposes as the holder of those securities upon the exercise of
the Warrant as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. As soon as
practicable on or after the Exercise Date the Warrant Agent shall deposit the
proceeds received from the exercise of a Warrant and shall notify the Company in
writing of the exercise of the Warrants. Promptly following, and in any event
within five days after the date of such notice from the Warrant Agent, the
Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall cause to be issued and delivered
by the Transfer Agent, to the person or persons entitled to receive the same, a
certificate or certificates for the securities deliverable upon such exercise,
(plus a certificate for any remaining unexercised Warrants of the Registered
Holder) unless prior to the date of issuance of such certificates the Company
shall instruct the Warrant Agent to refrain from causing such issuance of
certificates pending clearance of checks received in payment of the Purchase
Price pursuant to such Warrants. Upon the exercise of any Warrant and clearance
of the funds received, the Warrant Agent shall promptly remit the payment
received for the Warrant (the "Warrant Proceeds") to the Company or as the
Company may direct in writing, subject to the provisions of Sections 4(b) and
4(c) hereof.
SECTION 5. RESERVATION OF SHARES; LISTING; PAYMENT TAXES; ETC.
(a) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants shall, at the time of delivery, be duly and validly issued, fully paid,
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issue thereof, (other than those which the Company shall promptly pay or
discharge) and that upon issuance such shares shall be listed on each national
securities exchange or eligible for inclusion in each automated quotation
system, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common Stock of the
Company are then listed or eligible for inclusion.
(b) The Company covenants that if any securities to be reserved for the
purpose of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration with, or approval
of, any governmental authority under any federal securities law before such
securities may be validly issued or delivered upon such exercise, then the
Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as reasonably possible, endeavor
to secure such registration or approval. The Company will use reasonable efforts
to obtain appropriate approvals or registrations under state "blue sky"
securities laws. With respect to any such securities, however, Warrants may not
be exercised by, or shares of Common Stock issued to, any Registered Holder in
any state in which such exercise would be unlawful.
3
<PAGE>
(c) The Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance of
Warrants, or the issuance or delivery of any shares upon exercise of the
Warrants; provided, however, that if the shares of Common Stock are to be
delivered in a name other than the name of the Registered Holder of the Warrant
Certificate representing any Warrant being exercised, then no such delivery
shall be made unless the person requesting the same has paid to the Warrant
Agent the amount of transfer taxes or charges incident thereto, if any.
(d) The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition the
Company's Transfer Agent from time to time for certificates representing shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and the Company will
authorize the Transfer Agent to comply with all such proper requisitions. The
Company will file with the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth the name and
address of the Transfer Agent of the Company for shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants.
SECTION 6. EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER.

the Common Stock receivable upon exercise of such Warrant shall exceed $7.00
(the "Target Price"), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 8(f), below.
Market Price for the purpose of this Section 8 shall mean (i) the closing high
bid quotation for ten (10) consecutive business days (or such other period as
the Underwriter may consent to), ending with the date of the notice of
redemption, which notice shall be mailed no later than five days thereafter, of
the Common Stock (A) as reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System, if the Common Stock is then so listed
or (B) if the Common Stock is not so listed, as reported in the over-the-counter
market or (ii) the last reported sale price, for ten (10) consecutive business
days ending with the date of the notice of redemption, which notice shall be
mailed no later than five days thereafter, on the primary exchange on which the
Common Stock is then traded on. The market price shall be based upon the closing
price on the exchange (or the bid if there is no trading) for such shares during
the ten day period. All Warrants of a class, except those comprising the Unit
Purchase Option, must be redeemed if any of that class are redeemed.
(b) If the conditions set forth in Section 8(a) are met, and the Company
desires to exercise its right to redeem the Warrants, it shall request the
Warrant Agent to mail a notice of redemption to each of the Registered Holders
of the Warrants to be redeemed, first class, postage prepaid, not later than the
thirtieth day before the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as
shall appear on the records maintained pursuant to Section 6(b). Any notice
mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given whether or not the Registered Holder receives such notice.
(c) The notice of redemption shall specify (i) the redemption price, (ii)
the date fixed for redemption, (iii) the place where the Warrant Certificates
shall be delivered and the redemption price paid, (iv) that The Warrant Agent or
Company will assist each Registered Holder of a Warrant in connection with the
exercise thereof and (v) that the right to exercise the Warrant shall terminate
at 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the business day immediately preceding the date
fixed for redemption. The date fixed for the redemption of the Warrants shall be
the Redemption Date. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein or in
the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such
redemption except as to a Registered Holder (a) to whom notice was not mailed or
(b) whose notice was defective. An affidavit of the Warrant Agent or of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Warrant Agent or the Company that
notice of redemption has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima
facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(d) Any right to exercise a Warrant shall terminate at 5:00 P.M. (New York
time) on the business day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. On and
after the Redemption Date, Holders of the Warrants shall have no further rights
except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrant, the Redemption Price.
(e) From and after the Redemption Date specified, the Company shall, at the
place specified in the notice of redemption, upon presentation and surrender to
the Company by or on behalf of the
5
<PAGE>
Registered Holder thereof of one or more Warrant Certificates evidencing
Warrants to be redeemed, deliver or cause to be delivered to or upon the written
order of such Holder a sum in cash equal to the redemption price of each such
Warrant. From and after the Redemption Date and upon the deposit or setting
aside by the Company of a sum sufficient to redeem all the Warrants called for
redemption, such Warrants shall expire and become void and all rights hereunder
and under the Warrant Certificates, except the right to receive payment of the
redemption price, shall cease.
(f) If the shares of the Company's Common Stock are subdivided or combined
into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Target Price
shall be proportionally adjusted by the ratio which the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event bears to the total
number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after such event.
SECTION 9. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OR
WARRANTS.
(a) In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any consolidation or merger
of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property of the Company as, or substantially as, an
entirety (other than a sale/leaseback, mortgage or other financing transaction),
the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that each holder of a
Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, by exercising such
Warrant, to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities
or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital
reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased
upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification,
capital reorganization or other change, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments that
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 9. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof
the successor (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or
merger or the corporation purchasing assets or other appropriate corporation or
entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Warrant
Agent, the obligation to deliver to the holder of each Warrant such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holders may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this
Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive
reclassification, capital reorganizations and other changes of outstanding
shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
conveyances.
(b) Irrespective of any adjustments or changes in the Purchase Price or the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Warrant Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued shall, unless the Company
shall exercise its option to issue new Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section
2(d) hereof, continue to express the Purchase Price per share, the number of
shares purchasable thereunder and the Redemption Price therefor as the Purchase
Price per share, and the number of shares purchasable and the Redemption Price
therefore as were expressed in the Warrant Certificates when the same were
originally issued.
(c) After each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 9,
the Company will promptly prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman or
President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, of the Company setting forth: (i) the Purchase Price as so
adjusted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
each Warrant after such adjustment, and, if the Company shall have elected to
adjust the number of Warrants, the number of Warrants to which the registered
holder of each Warrant shall then be entitled, and the adjustment in Redemption
Price resulting therefrom, and (iii) a brief statement of the facts accounting
for such adjustment. The Company will promptly file such certificate with the
Warrant Agent and cause a brief summary thereof to be sent by ordinary first
class mail to the
6
<PAGE>
Underwriter and to each registered holder of Warrants at his last address as it
shall appear on the registry books of the Warrant Agent. No failure to mail such
notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the
validity thereof except as to the holder to whom the Company failed to mail such
notice, or except as to the holder whose notice was defective. The affidavit of
an officer of the Warrant Agent or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company that such notice has been mailed shall, in the absence of fraud, be
prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(d) Any determination as to whether an adjustment in the Purchase Price in
effect hereunder is required pursuant to Section 9, or as to the amount of any
such adjustment, if required, shall be binding upon the holders of the warrants
and the Company if made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
SECTION 10. FRACTIONAL WARRANTS AND FRACTIONAL SHARES.
(a) If the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of
each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company nevertheless
shall not be required to issue fractions of shares, upon exercise of the
Warrants or otherwise, or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional
shares. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise
hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the current market value of such fractional share:
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such exchange or listed for
trading on the NASDAQ Quotation System, the current value shall be the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last
business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such
sale is made on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
for such day on such exchange; or
(2) If the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges, the current value shall be the mean of the last reported bid and
asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. on the last
business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant; or
(3) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current value
shall be an amount determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed
by the Board of Directors of the Company.
SECTION 11. WARRANT HOLDERS NOT DEEMED STOCKHOLDERS.
No holder of Warrants shall, as such, be entitled to vote or to receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock that may at any time be
issuable upon exercise of such Warrants for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of Warrants, as
such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for
the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any
meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether
upon any recapitalization, issue or reclassification of stock, change of par
value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or
otherwise), or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights, until such Holder shall have exercised such Warrants and
been issued shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof.
SECTION 12. RIGHTS OF ACTION.
All rights of action with respect to this Agreement are vested in the
respective Registered Holders of the Warrants, and any Registered Holder of a
Warrant, without consent of the Warrant Agent or of the holder of any other
Warrant may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce against the
Company his right to exercise his Warrants or the purchase of shares of Common
Stock in the manner provided in the Warrant Certificate and this Agreement.

Every holder of a Warrant, by his acceptance thereof, consents and agrees
with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every other holder of a Warrant that:
(a) The Warrants are transferable only on the registry books of the Warrant
Agent by the Registered Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing and only if the Warrant Certificates representing such
Warrants are surrendered at the office of the Warrant Agent, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Warrant Agent
and the Company in their sole discretion, together with payment of any
applicable transfer taxes; and (b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem
and treat the person in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered as the
holder and as the absolute, true and lawful owner of the Warrants represented
thereby for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be
affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary, except as otherwise
expressly provided in Section 7 hereof.
SECTION 14. CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
If the Company shall purchase or acquire any Warrant or Warrants, the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the same shall thereupon
be delivered to the Warrant Agent and cancelled by it and retired. The Warrant
Agent shall also cancel Common Stock being reserved for issuance hereunder, upon
cancellation of unexercised Warrant Certificates representing the right to
purchase a like number of shares.
SECTION 15. CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT.
The Warrant Agent acts hereunder as agent and in a ministerial capacity for
the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof.
The Warrant Agent shall not, by issuing and delivering Warrant Certificates or
by any other act hereunder be deemed to make any representations as to the
validity, value or authorization of the Warrant Certificates or the Warrants
represented thereby or of any securities or other property delivered upon
exercise of any Warrant or whether any stock issued upon exercise of any Warrant
is fully paid and nonassessable.
The Warrant Agent shall not at any time under any duty or responsibility to
any holder of Warrant Certificates to make or cause to be made any adjustment of
the Purchase Price or the Redemption Price provided in this Agreement, or to
determine whether any fact exists which may require any such adjustments, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment, when made, or with
respect to the method employed in making the same. It shall not (i) be liable
for any recital or statement of facts contained herein or for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in reliance on any Warrant Certificate or other
document or instrument believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (ii) be responsible for
any failure on the part of the Company to comply with any of its covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate, or (iii)
be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for
its own negligence or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with counsel satisfactory to it
(which may be counsel for the Company) and shall incur no liability or
responsibility for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in
accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.
Any notice, statement, instruction, request, direction, order or demand of
the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed by the
Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice President, its Secretary, or
Assistant Secretary (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein
specifically prescribed). The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with such notice, statement,
instruction, request, direction, order or demand believed by it to be genuine.
The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for its
services hereunder and to reimburse it for its reasonable expenses hereunder; it
further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any
and all losses, expenses and liabilities, including
8

judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant
Agent in the execution of its duties and powers hereunder except losses,
expenses and liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence
or wilful misconduct.
The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further
duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result of the
Warrant Agent's own negligence or wilful misconduct), after giving 30 days,
prior written notice to the Company. At least 15 days prior to the date such
resignation is to become effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of such
notice of resignation to be mailed to the Registered Holder of each Warrant
Certificate at the Company's expense. Upon such resignation, or any inability of
the Warrant Agent to act as such hereunder, the Company shall appoint a new
Warrant Agent in writing. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of 15 days after it has been notified in writing of such
resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent, then the Registered Holder of any
Warrant Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a new Warrant Agent. Any new warrant agent, whether appointed by
the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust company having a
capital and surplus, as shown by its last published report to its stockholders,
of not less than $10,000,000 or a stock transfer company. After acceptance in

responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent,
without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it
shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company
and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning Warrant
Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment the Company
shall file notice thereof with the resigning Warrant Agent and shall forthwith
cause a copy of such notice to be mailed to the Registered Holder of each
Warrant Certificate.
Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent or any new Warrant Agent may be
converted or merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which
the Warrant Agent or any new Warrant Agent shall be a party or any corporation
succeeding to the trust business of the Warrant Agent shall be a successor
Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided that such
corporation is eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant Agent under
the provisions of the preceding paragraph. Any such successor Warrant Agent
shall promptly cause notice of its succession, as Warrant Agent, to be mailed to
the Company and to the Registered Holder of each Warrant Certificate.
The Warrant Agent, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of its or their
officers or directors, may buy and hold or sell Warrants or other securities of
the Company and otherwise deal with the Company in the same manner and to the
same extent and with like effects as though it were not Warrant Agent. Nothing
herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for
the Company or for any other legal entity.
SECTION 16. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.
The Warrant Agent and the Company may by supplemental agreement make any
changes or corrections in this Agreement (i) that they shall deem appropriate to
cure any ambiguity or to correct any defective or inconsistent provision or
manifest mistake or error herein contained; or (ii) that they may deem necessary
or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders
