corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the law
of Delaware; has the full power and authority to own and operate its properties,
to carry on its business as now conducted  and as proposed to be  conducted,  to

shares which have previously been registered by the Company,  the Company is not
under any obligation to register any of its securities  under the Securities Act

its officers,  directors  and  stockholders,  necessary  for the  authorization,

constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of
notice:  (a) any  provision of the Company's  certificate  of  incorporation  or
by-laws;  (b) any  material  contract,  obligation  or  commitment  to which the

business  which  individually,  or in the  aggregate,  have  not had a  material
adverse effect on the Company, or (b) any other event or condition, of which the
Company has  knowledge,  of any  character  which might have a material  adverse
effect on the business,  assets,  properties,  financial  condition or operating
results  of  the  Company.  The  Company  is  presently   negotiating  financing
transactions  that are expected to result in a secured borrowing by a subsidiary

1998.

            2.8 Financial Statements.  The financial statements contained in the
SEC Reports fairly  present the financial  position and results of operations of
the Company as of their  respective  dates and for the  respective  periods then
ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  consistently
applied.

            2.9 Consents.  No consent,  approval,  order or authorization of any

respect to the Company is required in  connection  with the sale and purchase of
Shares as contemplated by this agreement.

            2.10  Litigation.  There is no action,  proceeding or  investigation
pending or threatened  against the Company that,  either  individually or in the
aggregate,  would  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  business,  assets,
properties,  financial  condition  or  operating  results of the Company or that
seeks to prohibit or restrain the transactions  contemplated hereby. There is no
judgment,  decree or order of any court in effect  against  the  Company and the

<PAGE>

a party or by which it is bound.  There is  currently  pending no action,  suit,

and warrants to the Company that:

            3.1  Authorization.  All  action on the part of  Purchaser,  and its
officers, directors and stockholders, necessary for the authorization, execution
and delivery of this  agreement and the  Registration  Rights  Agreement and the
performance of all of its obligations  under this agreement and the Registration
Rights  Agreement has been taken, and assuming due execution and delivery by the
Company,  this agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement  constitute valid
and binding  obligations of Purchaser  enforceable against it in accordance with
their terms.

            3.2  Absence  of  Defaults.  The  execution  and  delivery  of  this
agreement by Purchaser and the performance of all obligations of Purchaser under
this  agreement  will not result in any  violation  of, be in conflict  with, or

charter documents; (ii) any material contract, obligation or commitment to which
Purchaser  is a party or by which it is  bound;  or (iii) any  statute,  rule or
governmental regulation or order applicable to Purchaser.

      4.    Securities Act Matters.

            4.1  Purchase  for  Investment.  This  agreement  is made  with each
Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser's  representation to the Company,  which by
Purchaser's  execution of this agreement  Purchaser  hereby  confirms,  that the
Shares  to be  purchased  by  Purchaser  will be  acquired  for  investment  for
Purchaser's  own  account,  not as a  nominee  or  agent,  and,  other  than  as
contemplated  by the  Registration  Rights  Agreement or otherwise in accordance
with applicable  securities laws, not with a view to the sale or distribution of
any part  thereof,  and  without  present  intention  of selling,  granting  any
participation in, or otherwise distributing any of the Shares. By executing this
agreement,  Purchaser further  represents that it has no contract,  undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell or transfer any of the Shares.

            4.2 Exemption.  Purchaser  acknowledges that it understands that the
offering and sale of the Shares to Purchaser pursuant to this agreement will not
be registered  under the Securities Act on the ground that the offering and sale
are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and
that the Company's  reliance upon such  exemption is predicated,  in part,  upon
Purchaser's  representations set forth in this agreement. The Company represents
that it has not engaged in any "general  solicitation"  (as that term is used in
Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the sale of the Shares
to Purchaser.

            4.3 Additional Securities Act Representations.  Purchaser represents
that: (a) it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
as to be  capable  of  evaluating  the  merits  and  risks  of  its  prospective
investment  in the  Shares;  (b) it has  received  all  the  information  it has
requested from the Company and considers  necessary or appropriate  for deciding
whether to  purchase  the Shares;  (c) it has the  ability to bear the  economic
risks of its


                                        4

<PAGE>

investment;   (d)  it  is  able,  without  materially  impairing  its  financial
condition,  to hold the  Shares for an  indefinite  period of time and to suffer
complete loss on its investment;  and (e) it is an "accredited  investor" within
the  meaning  of Rule 501  under  the  Securities  Act.  Accordingly,  Purchaser
represents  that (a) it is a natural person who had individual  income in excess
of $200,000 in each of the last two years or joint income with his or her spouse
in excess of  $300,000 in each of the last two years and  reasonably  expects to
reach that same income level for the current year; (b) is a natural person whose
individual net worth, or joint net worth with his or her spouse, is in excess of
$1,000,000;  (c) is a corporation  or  partnership,  not formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the Shares,  that has total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
(d) is a trust,  with total assets in excess of $5,000,000,  that was not formed
for the specific  purpose of acquiring the Shares and whose purchase is directed
by a person who has such  knowledge  and  experience  in financial  and business
matters  that such person is capable of  evaluating  the merits and risks of the
prospective  investment;  or (e) is an entity in which all of the equity  owners
meet the  requirements of at least one of the above  subparagraphs  (A) and (B).
For this purpose,  (x)  "individual  income"  means  adjusted  gross income,  as
reported for federal  income tax  purposes,  less any income  attributable  to a
spouse or to property  owned by a spouse,  increased by the  individual's  share
(and not a spouse's  share) of: (1) the amount of any tax exempt interest income
received,  (2)  the  amount  of  losses  claimed  as  a  limited  partner  in  a
partnership,  (3) amounts  contributed to an IRA or Keough  retirement plan, (4)
alimony paid, and (5) the excluded  portion of any long-term  capital gains, and
(y) "net worth" means the excess of total assets at fair market value, including
home and  personal  property,  over  total  liabilities,  provided  that for the
purpose of determining net worth, the principal residence owned by an individual
shall be  valued  either at cost,  including  the cost of  improvements,  net of
current  encumbrances upon the property,  or on the basis of a written appraisal
used by an institutional lender making a loan secured by the property.

            4.4 Legends. The certificates for the Shares sold to Purchaser shall
bear the following legend:

            "The Shares represented by this certificate have not been registered
      under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") and may not be transferred unless
      a  Registration  Statement  under the Act is in effect as to that transfer
      or, in the  opinion of counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company,
      registration under the Act is unnecessary for that transfer to comply with
      the Act."

            4.5 Registration  Rights. At the closing,  the Company and Purchaser
shall execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached
as exhibit 4.5 to this  agreement,  which  provides for  registration  under the
Securities  Act of the  Shares  to be  issued  to  Purchaser  pursuant  to  this
agreement.

      5.    Conditions to Purchaser'  Obligations.  The obligations of Purchaser
to  purchase  Shares  under  Section  1 of  this  agreement  is  subject  to the
fulfillment at or before the closing of each of the following conditions (any of
which may be waived in writing by Purchaser):

      8.    Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification.

            8.1  Survival.  The  representations  and  warranties of the parties
contained in this agreement  (other than the  representations  and warranties of
the Company set forth in sections  2.2,  2.3, 2.4 and 2.5,  which shall  survive
without  limitation as to time) shall survive the execution and delivery of this
agreement and the closing for a period of two years; provided,  however, that no
claim  may be made  with  respect  to any  representation  or  warranty  that is
accurate as of the date of such  execution  and  delivery  and as of the Closing

            8.2  Indemnification  By the Company.  Subject to section 8.4, after
the closing the Company shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless each  Purchaser and
each of its officers,  directors,  employees,  agents and legal counsel and each

claims,  assessments and judgments  (including  reasonable  costs and attorneys'
fees  and  other  expenses   arising  out  of  any  claim,  or  the  defense  or
investigation  thereof,  made with respect to any of the foregoing)  incurred or
suffered by any of them arising out of, based upon or resulting  from any breach
by the Company of the Company's  representations,  warranties, or covenants made
to Purchaser in this agreement.

            8.3 Indemnification By Purchaser.  Subject to section 8.4, after the

costs and attorneys'  fees and other expenses  arising out of any claim,  or the
defense or  investigation  thereof,  made with respect to any of the  foregoing)
incurred or suffered by any of them arising out of, based upon or resulting from
any breach by Purchaser of the representations, warranties, or covenants made by
Purchaser in this agreement.

            8.4 Notice of Claims;  Participation in Suits. Any claim pursuant to
this section 8 with respect to a breach of a  representation  or warranty (other
than a representation  or warranty of the Company set forth in Section 2.2, 2.3,

any claim against the other party  ("Indemnifying  Party") for  indemnification,
the claim shall be in writing  and shall  state in general  terms the facts upon

<PAGE>

party, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of
the claim or demand within 30 days after  receipt,  and the  Indemnifying  Party
shall have the right to assume the defense of the claim with counsel selected by
the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, but
the  Indemnifying  Party  shall not settle the claim  without the consent of the
Indemnified   Party,   which  consent  shall  not  be   unreasonably   withheld.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a failure to so notify an  Indemnifying  Party
shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from its  indemnification  obligations
unless such  Indemnifying  Party is materially  prejudiced by such failure.  The
Indemnified  Party  shall  have the right to  select  separate  counsel  for the
defense  of  the  claim,  at  the  expense  of the  Indemnifying  Party,  if the
Indemnifying  Party and the Indemnified  Party have  conflicting  interests with
respect to the claim.
