regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC
Documents, and none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a

consistent with past practice, the Company does not have any liabilities or
obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, or otherwise)

expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial

believed to be reasonable when made and continue to be reasonable as of the date

business only in the ordinary course, and there has not been: (i) any material
adverse change in the business, results of operations or business prospects of
the Company; (ii) any declaration, setting aside, or payment of any divided or
other distribution (whether in cash, stock or property) with respect to any of
the Company's capital stock; (iii) any split, combination or reclassification of
any of the Company's capital stock; (iv) any damage, destruction or loss,
whether or not covered by insurance, that has had or is likely to have a

filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company is
in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, regulations,
rules, judgments, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to
its business or operations, except for instances of possible noncompliance that,

the Company and its financial position or results of operations. The Company

authorizations, certificates, filings, franchises, licenses, notices, permits,
and rights ("Permits") necessary for it to own, lease or operate its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except for Permits the
absence of which would not cause, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on the Company and its financial position or results of
operations; and there has occurred no default under any such Permits which,
individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the

--------------------
decision from the NASD with respect to the Company's application for the
granting of an exception to the shareholder approval requirements set forth in
Rule 4310(c)(25) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, and (b) mailed to all
shareholders not later than ten days prior to the date hereof a letter (i)
alerting them to the Company's omission to seek shareholder approval for the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement that would otherwise be
required under the Rule 4310(c)(25) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and (ii)

sold by the Holder thereof pursuant to (a) an effective registration statement

1, each certificate for any Warrant Stock issued upon exercise of any Warrant
and each certificate for any Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee
of any such certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
in substantially the following form:

and terminate as to any particular Restricted Security when such Restricted
Security shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws and sold by the Holder thereof in accordance
with such registration or sold under and pursuant to Rule 144 or is eligible to
be sold under and pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144. Whenever the
restrictions imposed by this Section 4 shall terminate as to any Restricted
Security as hereinabove provided, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, without expense, a new certificate evidencing such
Restricted Security not bearing the restrictive legend otherwise required to be
borne by a certificate evidencing such Restricted Security.

certificates for Restricted Securities specified in Section 4.03, the Common
Shares, the Warrant and all rights thereunder are transferable (subject to any
restrictive legends thereon), in whole or in part at any time after the Closing

attached as Annex 1 hereto. Upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and
-------
deliver new certificates representing such Common Shares or Warrant or Warrants
in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in
such instrument of assignment, and the original certificates therefor shall
promptly be canceled.
<PAGE>
(b) The Warrant may be exchanged for other Warrants of the same
series upon presentation to the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by
the Holder thereof. The Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants to the Holder in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or

Warrants to inspect such books at such reasonable times as such Holder shall
request.
SECTION 6. Adjustments of Warrant Stock Issuable Upon Exercise.
---------------------------------------------------
6.01 Number of Shares; Exercise Price. The number of shares of
--------------------------------
Warrant Stock which a Holder of Warrants shall be entitled to receive upon each
exercise thereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of
Warrant Stock which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 6)
be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder thereof in its
Exercise Notice, by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is $3.75 and (ii) the
denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise. The
"Exercise Price" shall initially be $3.75 per share, shall be adjusted and
readjusted from time to time as provided in this Section 6 and, as so adjusted
or readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 6.
6.02 Adjustment of Exercise Price.
----------------------------
(a) In case the Company, at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall issue or sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including
Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6.03
or 6.04) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Current Market Price or the Exercise Price in effect, in each case, on the date
of and immediately prior to such issue or sale, then, and in each such case,
(i) in the event that such Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued or sold for a consideration per share less than Current Market Price
and equal to or greater than the Exercise Price (collectively, the "Below
-----
Market Price Shares"), such Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently
-------------------
with such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a
cent) determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale
plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received by
<PAGE>
the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued or sold would purchase at the Current Market Price,
and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and
(ii) in the event that the Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued or sold subsequent to the date hereof for a consideration per share
less than the Exercise Price, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an
amount equal to the lowest consideration per share (as determined under
Section 6.06) received by the Company for any such issue or sale,
provided that, for the purposes of this Section 6.02(a), immediately after any
- --------
Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to
Section 6.03 or 6.04, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
be outstanding, and treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
(b) In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution
(including without limitation, any distribution of other stock or other
securities or property or Options by way of dividend or spin-off,
reclassification, recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) on any
Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock
or in Options for Common Stock, then unless the Company permits the Holders to
participate in such dividend or distribution based on the number of shares of
Warrant Stock then underlying each Warrant, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business
on such record date, to a price (calculated to the nearest .001 of a cent)
determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per
share as of such record date, less the Fair Value per share of such
dividend or other distribution, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price
per share as of such record date.
6.03 Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. In case the
-----------------------------------------------
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue,
sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities entitled to receive, any Options or
Convertible Securities, then, and in each such case, the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating
thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such
<PAGE>
Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be
issued for purposes of Section 6.02 as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or
assumption or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close
of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-
dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading),
provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have
- --------
been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section
6.05) of such shares would be less than the Current Market Price or the Exercise
Price in effect, in each case, on the date of and immediately prior to such
issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business
on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on
the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be,
and provided, further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of
-------- -------
Common Stock are deemed to be issued,
(a) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the
subsequent issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities;
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide,
with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the
consideration payable to the Company, or increase or decrease in the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the Exercise Price computed
upon the original issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the
occurrence of the record date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend
trading, as the case may be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent
adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming
effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it
affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
(c) upon the expiration of any such Options or of the rights of
conversion or exchange under any such Convertible Securities which shall not
have been exercised (or upon purchase by the Company and cancellation or
retirement of any such Options which shall not have been exercised or of any
such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or exchange under which
shall not have been exercised), the Exercise Price computed upon the original
issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record
date, or date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading, as the case may
be, with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall,
upon such expiration (or such cancellation or retirement, as the case may be),
be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would be in effect if such unexercised
Options or Convertible Securities had not been issued;
(d) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) above shall
have the effect of increasing the Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the
amount of the adjustment
<PAGE>
thereof originally made in respect of the issue, sale, grant or assumption of
such Options or Convertible Securities; and
(e) in the case of any such Options which expire by their terms not
more than 30 days after the date of issue, sale, grant or assumption thereof, no
adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise
of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner
provided in subdivision (c) above.
In case at any time after the date hereof the Company shall be
required to increase the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock subject to
any Option or into which any Convertible Securities are convertible or
exchangeable pursuant to the operation of anti-dilution provisions applicable
thereto, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued for
purposes of Section 6.02 as of the time of such increase.
6.04 Treatment of Stock Dividends, etc. In case the Company at any
----------------------------------
time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any
dividend or other distribution on any class of stock of the Company payable in
Common Stock, then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the close of business on
the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities
entitled to receive such dividend; provided, however, that no Additional Shares
-------- -------
of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued in the case of any such
dividend if the Company shall have declared such dividend payable, and paid such
dividend, with respect to all shares of Warrant Stock then underlying the
Warrants.
6.05 Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section
----------------------------
6:
(a) The consideration for the issue or sale of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock or for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of any Options or
Convertible Securities, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such
consideration, shall
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of
cash received by the Company, after deducting any expenses paid or incurred
by the Company or any commissions or compensation paid or concessions or
discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar
services and any accrued interest or dividends in connection with such
issue or sale,
(ii) insofar as it consists of consideration (including
securities) other than cash, be computed at the Fair Value thereof at the
time of such issue or sale, after deducting any expenses paid or incurred
by the Company for any commissions or compensation paid or concessions or
discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar
services and any accrued interest or dividends in connection with such
issue or sale, and
<PAGE>
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or
sold or Convertible Securities are issued, sold, granted or assumed
together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for
a consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration
so received, computed as provided in subdivisions (i) and (ii) above,
allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be.
(b) Subject to the proviso contained in Section 6.04, all Additional
Shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued in payment of
any dividend or other distribution on any class of stock of the Company shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued for
consideration pursuant to Section 6.03, relating to Options and Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share
determined by dividing
(i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable by the
Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or assumption of the
Options or Convertible Securities in question, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments
relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a
subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon
the exercise in full of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, in each case
multiplying such consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision
(a), by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth
in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon
the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(d) Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been
issued pursuant to the operation of anti-dilution provisions applicable to
Convertible Securities, Options or other securities of the Company (either as a
result of the adjustments provided for by the Warrants or otherwise) shall be
deemed to have been issued without consideration.
6.06 Adjustments for Combinations, Subdivisions, etc. In case the
------------------------------------------------
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) or
shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock),
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination or
<PAGE>
consolidation or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
combination or consolidation or subdivision, be proportionately increased or
decreased, as the case may be pursuant to the formula provided in Section
6.02(a).
6.07 Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other
------------------------------------
Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon
the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or
any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 6.08)
or to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued
or granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a
consideration such as to dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards
established in the other provisions of this Section 6, the purchase rights
granted by the Warrants, then, and in each such case, the computations,
adjustments and readjustments provided for in this Section 6 with respect to the
Exercise Price shall be made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and
applied to determine the amount of Other Securities from time to time receivable
upon the exercise of the Warrants, so as to protect the holders of the Warrants
against the effect of such dilution.
6.08 Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, Reorganization etc.
----------------------------------------------------------
(a) In case the Company, after the date hereof, (i) shall
consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing
or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall permit
any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company
shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, Common Stock or Other Securities shall be changed into
or exchanged for cash, stock or other securities of any Person or any other
property, or (iii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to any other Person, or (iv) shall effect a capital reorganization or
reclassification of Common Stock or Other Securities (other than a capital
reorganization or reclassification resulting in the issue of Additional Shares
of Common Stock for which adjustment in the Exercise Price is provided in
Section 6.02(a) or 6.02(b)), then, and in the case of each such transaction, the
Company shall give written notice thereof to each Holder of Warrants not less
than 45 days prior to the consummation thereof and proper provision shall be
made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this
Section 6.08, each Holder of Warrants, upon the exercise thereof at any time
after the consummation of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive, in
lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior
to such consummation, the following:
the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such
Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such
consummation if such Holder had exercised such Warrants immediately prior
thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6,
provided that if a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made
--------
to and accepted by the holders of Common Stock under circumstances in
which, upon completion of such purchase, tender or exchange offer, the
maker thereof, together with
<PAGE>
members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(l) under the
Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any
affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2
under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such
affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, and if any Holder of Warrants so designates in such notice
given to the Company, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the highest
amount of cash, securities or other property to which such Holder would
actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such Holder had exercised
its Warrants prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange
offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such Holder
had been purchased pursuant to such purchase, tender or exchange offer,
subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such purchase,
tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 6; provided that, if any of the
--------
transactions described in subdivisions (i) through (iv) of this Section
6.08(a) involve the issuance of Voting Common Stock, the Company shall not
effect any of such transactions unless, immediately after the date of the
consummation of such transaction, the Acquiring Person or its Parent is
required to file, by virtue of having an outstanding class of Voting Common
Stock (or equivalent equity interests), reports with the Commission
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and such
Voting Common Stock (or equivalent equity interest) is listed or admitted
to trading on a national securities exchange or is included for trading on
Nasdaq.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company will not effect any of the transactions described in
subdivisions (i) through (iv) of Section 6.08(a) unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required
to deliver any cash, stock or other securities or other property upon the
exercise of any Warrants as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument
delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of such Warrants, (i)
the obligations of the Company under this Agreement (and if the Company shall
survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in
addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations
of the Company under this Agreement) and (ii) the obligation to deliver to such
holder such cash, stock or other securities or other property as, in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.08, such Holder may be entitled
to receive.
6.09 Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to
---------------------
which the provisions of this Section 6 is not strictly applicable but the
failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights
represented by the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and
principles of this Section 6, then, in each such case, an adjustment on a basis
consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section
6, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by
the Warrants shall be made.
6.10 No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment
-------------------------
of its articles of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets,
<PAGE>
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders of Warrants against
dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable
upon the exercise of Warrants to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such
exercise, and, if the Exercise Price in effect at any time shall be reduced to
such par value, the Company will promptly cause the par value of such shares to
be reduced to $0.01, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable shares of stock upon the exercise of all of the Warrants from
time to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock
(or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the
Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, (d) will not issue any
capital stock of any class which has the right to more than one vote per share
and (e) will not issue any security other than Common Stock unless the rights of
the holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value
or a sum determined by reference to a formula based on a published index of
interest rates, an interest rate publicly announced by a financial institution
or a similar indicator of interest rates in respect of interest or participation
in dividends and to a fixed sum or percentage of par value as principal or in
any distribution of assets.
6.11 Accountants' Report as to Adjustments. In each case of any
-------------------------------------
adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Warrant Stock (or Other Securities)
issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of
the Warrants and cause independent public accountants of recognized national
standing selected by the Company (which may be the regular auditors of the
Company) to verify such computation and prepare a report setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including without limitation a statement of (a) the consideration
received or to be received by the Company for any Additional Shares of Common
Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted
on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report
to each holder of a Warrant and will, upon the written request at any time of
any Holder of a Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like report setting forth the
Exercise Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its
principal office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such
office during normal business hours by any Holder of a Warrant or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the Holder thereof.
<PAGE>
6.12 Notices of Corporate Action. In the event of
---------------------------
(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any
class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or
merger involving the Company and any other Person or any transfer of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or
(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company,
the Company will mail to each Holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the
date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of
such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place and the time,
if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) for the securities or other property deliverable
upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be
mailed at least 20 days prior to the date therein specified, in the case of any
date referred to in the foregoing subdivision (i), and at least 45 days prior to
the date therein specified, in the case of the date referred to in the foregoing
subdivision (ii).
SECTION 7. Holders' Rights.
---------------
7.01 Delivery Expenses. If any Holder surrenders any certificate for
-----------------
Common Shares or Warrants or Warrant Stock to the Company or a transfer agent of
the Company for exchange for instruments of other denominations or registered in
another name or names, the Company shall cause such new instruments to be issued
and shall pay the cost of delivering to or from the office of such Holder from
or to the Company or its transfer agent, duly insured, the surrendered
instrument and any new instruments issued in substitution or replacement for the
surrendered instrument.
7.02 Taxes. The Company shall pay all taxes (other than federal,
-----
state or local income taxes) which may be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Common Shares,
Warrants and Warrant Stock hereunder or in connection with any modification of
this Agreement or the Warrants and shall hold each Holder
<PAGE>
harmless without limitation as to time against any and all liabilities with
respect to all such taxes. The obligations of the Company under this Section

Warrants or Warrant Stock by the Company, any termination of this Agreement, and
any cancellation or termination of the Warrants.
7.03 Replacement of Instruments. Upon receipt by the Company of
--------------------------
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any certificate or instrument evidencing any Common
Shares, Warrants or Warrant Stock, and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that, if the Company's Common Stock is
--------
not at the time publicly traded and the owner of the same is Investor or an
institutional lender or investor, its own agreement of indemnity shall be deemed
to be satisfactory), or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender or cancellation
thereof,
the Company, at its expense, shall execute, register and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a new certificate or instrument for (or covering the purchase of) an
equal number of Common Shares, Warrants or Warrant Stock.
7.04 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
---------------
each of the Investor and the Holders and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees, shareholders, members, Affiliates and agents (each, an
"indemnified person") on demand from and against any and all losses, claims,
- -------------------
damages, liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened in
respect thereof) and expenses that arise out of, result from, or in any way
relate to, this Agreement or the Common Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Stock,
or in connection with the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
other than such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses relating to
the value of the Common Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Stock or other
securities issued to the Investor or the Holders in connection with this
Agreement, the Warrants or the Warrant Stock or the other transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby unless such losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
and expenses are directly related to a breach by the Company of this Agreement
or other agreements entered into in connection with the other transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, and to reimburse each indemnified person, upon
its demand, for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, defending or participating in the defense of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, action or other proceeding (whether or not such
indemnified person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such
expenses arise), other than any of the foregoing claimed by any indemnified
person to the extent there has been a final judicial determination not subject
to appeal that it was incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such indemnified person. No indemnified person shall be
responsible or liable to either the Company or any other Person for any damages
which may be alleged as a result of or relating to this Agreement or the Common
Shares, the Warrants or Warrant Stock (other than in connection with a breach of
this Agreement), or in
<PAGE>
connection with the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby other
than any of the foregoing claimed by any indemnified person to the extent there
has been a final judicial determination not subject to appeal that it was
incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
indemnified person.

upon reasonable prior notice, (i) to inspect the books and records of the
Company, (ii) to discuss with management of the Company the business and affairs
of the Company and (iii) to inspect the properties of the Company.
SECTION 8. Other Covenants of Company. The Company agrees with each
--------------------------
Holder that, so long as any of the Common Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Stock
shall be outstanding:
8.01 Availability of Information. The Company will cooperate with
---------------------------
each holder of any Restricted Securities in supplying such information as may be
necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms
presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the
availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any
Restricted Securities. The Company will furnish to each holder of any Common
Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Stock promptly upon their becoming available,
copies of all financial statements, reports, notices and proxy statements sent
or made available generally by the Company to its stockholders, and copies of
all regular and periodic reports and all registration statements and
prospectuses filed by the Company with the NASD, any securities exchange or with
the Commission.
8.02 Board Representation. The Company hereby grants the Investor
--------------------
the right to designate two persons reasonably acceptable to the Company at the
time of designation to be nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company. The
Company shall uses its best efforts to have such nominees elected to its Board
of Directors; provided, however that if the Investor owns (including Warrants
exercisable into Common Stock) less than 948,354 shares of Common Stock (as
adjusted for any stock split, combination, stock dividend, etc.), the Company
shall have no obligation to uses its best efforts to have any nominee of the
Investor to be elected to the Board of Directors. In the event the Company
expands its Board of Directors, the Investor shall have the right to designate
additional nominees such that the Investor retains its pro-rata share of the
Company's Board of Directors as of the Closing Date.
8.03 Repurchases and Redemption. Except as otherwise specifically
--------------------------
provided herein, and other than repurchases or redemptions of shares of Common

-------
Company shall not effect any repurchase or redemption of shares of Common Stock,
or Options or Convertible Securities (other than pursuant to their respective
terms), and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to effect any repurchase or
<PAGE>
redemption of shares of Common Stock, or Options or Convertible Securities
(other than pursuant to their respective terms), from any Shareholder or holder
of Options or Convertible Securities, without the prior written consent of the
Requisite Holders of Warrants.
8.04 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as expressly permitted by
----------------------------
this Agreement, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, sell, lease or otherwise transfer any property or assets
to, or purchase, lease or otherwise acquire any property or assets from, or
otherwise engage in any other transactions with or for the benefit of, any of
its Affiliates, except (a) in the ordinary course of business at prices and on
terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than
could be obtained on an arm's-length basis from unrelated third parties, (b)
transactions between or among the Company and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries not
involving any other Affiliate and (c) any transactions or arrangements existing
on the date hereof.
8.05 Restrictions on Performance. The Company shall not at any time
---------------------------
after the date hereof enter into an agreement or other instrument limiting in
any manner its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
Warrants, or making such performance or the issuance of Warrant Stock upon the
exercise of any Warrant a default under any such agreement or instrument.
8.06 Modification of Other Equity Documents. The Company shall not
--------------------------------------
amend or consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of
any Other Equity Documents in any manner which would have an adverse effect on
the Holders, in each case without the prior written consent of the Requisite
Holders of Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company shall not amend, or consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of
any provision of any Other Equity Documents in a way which would (i) restrict
the transferability of the Common Shares, Warrants and the Warrant Stock, (ii)
restrict the transferability of the rights of any Holder in this Agreement to
any transferee of all or a portion of such Holder's Common Shares, Warrants
and/or Warrant Stock or (iii) require any consent or other approval of any
Person to the exercise of the Warrants by any Holder or the issuance of Warrant
Stock upon such exercise. Anything in the Rights Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, on issuance of shares of Common Stock on exercise of Warrants
prior to the redemption or exercise of Rights (as defined in the Rights
Agreement), the Company shall issue Rights, or after the Distribution Date (as
therein) Rights Certificates, in connection with such exercise.
8.07 Ownership of Subsidiaries. The Company will, and will cause
-------------------------
each of its Subsidiaries to take such action as will be necessary from time to
time to ensure that the Company or a Subsidiary owns 100% of each class of
capital stock of each Subsidiary.
8.08 Reservation of Stock, etc. The Company will at all times
--------------------------
reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
the Warrants, the number of shares of
<PAGE>
Warrant Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon exercise of
all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of Common Stock (or Other
Securities) shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall
be validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with
no liability on the part of the holders thereof.
8.09 Listing on Securities Exchanges. The Company will list on each
-------------------------------
national securities exchange on which any Common Stock may at any time be listed
or on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of the
Warrants, and will maintain such listing of, all Common Shares and shares of
Warrant Stock from time to time issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The
Company will also so list on each national securities exchange, and will
maintain such listing of, any Other Securities if at the time any securities of
the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange by the
Company.
SECTION 9. Miscellaneous.
-------------
9.01 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Holder to exercise and
------
no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement or the Warrants shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement or the Warrant preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The

--------
Company herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on
its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the Investor and shall survive the issuance of the Common Shares, Warrants or
the Warrant Stock regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Investor. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument so
delivered shall constitute representations and warranties by the Company
hereunder. All representations and warranties made by the Investor herein shall

9.07 Specific Performance. Damages in the event of breach of this
--------------------
Agreement by a Holder or the Company would be difficult, if not impossible, to
ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each Holder and the Company, in
addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will
have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of
competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically
the terms and provisions hereof, and each Holder and the Company hereby waives
any and all defenses it may have on the ground of lack of jurisdiction or
competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief.
The existence of this right will not preclude the Holders or the Company from
pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which the Holders or
the Company may have.

--------------------
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A

UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE WARRANTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT
DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE COMPANY OR THE
INVESTOR RELATING HERETO.
