SECTION 2. CLOSING DATE. The consummation of the purchase and sale transaction
described herein (the "Closing") shall occur concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the payments required hereunder.
SECTION 3. COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS. The Company represents and warrants to each
Purchaser that:
(a) Organization, Standing and Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Texas and has all the requisite power and
authority to own or lease and operate its properties and to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
(b) Authorization and Enforceability. The Company has all
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform all
its obligations under this Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement,
to issue the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and to carry out the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company has duly and
properly taken all actions necessary to authorize it to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Securityholders
Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. This Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement are legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, except for the effect upon such agreements
of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and of
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the
Company consists of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 25,000,000
shares of preferred stock, of which 50,000 shares have been designated
as the Preferred Stock. Of such shares, 3,104,644 shares of Common

warrants, options, calls, convertible securities, commitments of sale
or liens granted or issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
relating to or entitling any person to purchase or otherwise to acquire
any shares of the capital stock of the Company, except as otherwise
disclosed on Schedule B annexed hereto.
(d) Non-Contravention by Company. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or the Securityholders Agreement nor the
issuance, sale or delivery of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants by
the Company, nor the performance of the obligations of the Company and
its securityholders hereunder or thereunder, nor any action by the
Company contemplated hereunder or thereunder, violates any provisions
of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or violates
or constitutes a breach of or a default under, or would result in the
acceleration of or entitle any party to
2
<PAGE> 3
accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or
both) any material obligation under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest or other
encumbrance of any kind upon the property or assets (real, personal or
mixed, tangible or intangible) of the Company pursuant to any provision
of any material promissory note, security interest, bond, mortgage,
indenture, lien, claim, charge, right, option, lease, agreement,
license, pledge, encumbrance, instrument, commitment, law, ordinance,
regulation, order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which the
Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets
(real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible) are bound which would
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
(e) Private Offering. The Company agrees that neither it, nor
anyone acting on its behalf, will offer the Preferred Stock and the
Warrants so as to bring the issuance and sale of such securities within
the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), nor offer any similar securities for issuance
or sale to, or solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from, or
otherwise approach or negotiate with respect thereto with, anyone if
the sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and any such
securities would be integrated as a single offering for the purposes of
the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Regulation D
thereunder.
(f) Brokers. The Company has not retained, directly or
indirectly, any broker or finder or incurred any liability or
obligation for any brokerage fees or finder's fees with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g) Survival of Representations and Warranties. All the
Company's representations and warranties herein shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the
Purchasers and the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants.
SECTION 4. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants are not being registered under the Act, based,
in part, on reliance that the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants
are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any
public offering. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company's reliance
on such exemption is predicated, in part, on the several representations set
forth below made by each Purchaser to the Company.
(a) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for such
Purchaser's own account, for investment purposes only, and not with an
intent to sell, or for resale in connection with any distribution of
all or any portion of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants within the
meaning of the Act;
(b) In evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants, such Purchaser has relied upon the
advice of such Purchaser's legal counsel, tax advisors, and/or
investment advisors;
3
<PAGE> 4
(c) Such Purchaser is experienced in evaluating and investing
in companies such as the Company. In addition, such Purchaser has a
preexisting business relationship with the Company. As a result of such
relationship, such Purchaser has access on a regular basis to the
Company's financial statements and other records and information
material to the Company's financial condition, operations and
prospects. Such Purchaser has been given access to all books, records
and other information of the Company which such Purchaser has desired
to review and analyze in connection with such Purchaser's purchase of
the Preferred Stock and the Warrants hereunder.
(d) Such Purchaser is aware that an investment in securities
of a closely held corporation such as the Company is not liquid and
will require such Purchaser's capital to be invested for an indefinite
period of time, possibly without return. Such Purchaser has no need for
liquidity in this investment, has the ability to bear the economic risk
of this investment, and can afford a complete loss of the Purchase
Price;
(e) Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Stock and
the Warrants being purchased hereunder are characterized as "restricted
securities" under the federal securities laws since the Preferred Stock
and the Warrants are being acquired from the Company in a transaction
not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Purchaser
represents that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act;
(f) At no time was an oral representation made to such
Purchaser relating to the purchase or was such Purchaser presented with
or solicited by any leaflet, public or promotional meeting, newspaper
or magazine article, radio or television advertisement or any other
form of general advertising relating to the purchase hereunder; and
(g) Such Purchaser has read and understands the restrictions
set forth in the Securityholders Agreement.
SECTION 5. STOCK CERTIFICATE LEGEND. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that the certificate evidencing the Preferred Stock purchased by such Purchaser
hereunder (or evidencing any other securities issued with respect thereto
pursuant to any stock split, stock dividend, merger or other form of
reorganization or recapitalization) shall bear, in addition to any other legends
which may be required by this Agreement or applicable state securities laws, the
following legend:
"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
4

PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT. THIS SECURITY IS ALSO SUBJECT TO

AGREEMENT, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM THE
CORPORATION AND ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO."
