(c)         each of the Company and Lerner shall have performed and complied in
all material respects with all obligations and agreements required by this
Agreement to be performed or complied with by it or him, respectively, on or

aggregate purchase price of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000)
(the “Secondary Purchase Price”).  Such secondary purchase and sale shall be
referred to herein as the “Secondary Investment” and, together with the Initial
Investment, the “Investments.”  The number of Secondary Shares so purchased
shall be equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest whole number) obtained by
dividing (a) the Secondary Purchase Price by (b) the Initial Per Share Purchase

be made prior to or at the end of Purchaser’s next fiscal quarter after the
fiscal quarter during which the Initial Closing occurred.  The remaining five
Secondary Investment Payments shall be made in five subsequent quarterly
payments prior to or at the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter, with the
final Secondary Investment Payment being made prior to or at the end of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
5.2         Nature of Purchase.  Purchaser will purchase the Shares for
Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution
thereof in violation of the 1933 Act.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor,” as
that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act.  Purchaser
is knowledgeable in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and
benefits of the Investments.  Purchaser understands and acknowledges that such
Investments are of a speculative nature, involve a high degree of risk, and are
subject to risk of loss.  Purchaser acknowledges and understands that (a)
neither the Shares nor the sale of the Shares have been registered under the
1933 Act, or registered or qualified under the securities Laws of any state, (b)
there is no market for the Shares, and (c) the Shares may be subject to transfer
restrictions as provided in any Stockholders’ Agreement.  Purchaser has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and
conditions of the Investments and has had full access to such other information
concerning the Company as has been requested.
 
5.3         Stock Legend.  Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates for the
Shares will contain a legend substantially as follows:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ‘ACT’), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
ANY STATE.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.”
 
The requirement that the Shares contain the legend set forth above shall cease
and terminate when the Shares are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the 1933 Act.  Upon the consummation of an event described in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Company, upon the surrender of certificates
containing such legend, shall, at its own expense (without the need for any
opinion of counsel for Purchaser), deliver to the holder of any such securities
as to which the requirement for such legend shall have terminated, one or more
new certificates evidencing such securities not bearing such legend.
 
5.4         Independent Investment Decision.  Purchaser (a) has received and
reviewed copies of this Agreement, the Organizational Documents of the Company,
and such other documents and information as Purchaser has deemed necessary or
appropriate for the purpose of making its own investment analysis of and
decision to purchase the Shares, and (b) has independently conducted its own
independent financial and business investigation of the Shares, the Company and
any matter relevant to the value of the Shares.
 
5.5         Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters.  Neither the execution and
delivery of, nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
by, nor the compliance by Purchaser with the terms and provisions of, this
Agreement will conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, any
contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or to
which any of its properties may be bound.

Agreement or in any other document furnished by such Indemnifying Party in
connection with this transaction and (b) any action for securities law
violations instituted by the Indemnifying Party or its affiliates which is
