         3.       Mechanics of Payment for Shares.


                  (a) With respect to the shares acquired under subsection

accordance with the terms of the Rights Offering.

                  (b) With respect to the purchase of Additional Shares under

applicable Purchasers of the number of Additional Shares that they are

Shares shall deliver the full amount of the subscription price to the Company
by wire (pursuant to wiring instructions provided by the Company) or other good
funding mechanism approved by the Company.


         4.       Representations and Warranties. Each Purchaser hereby
severally represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that, in connection
herewith:

                  (a) The Purchaser is an accredited investor as that term is
defined in Section 501(a) under Registration D promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

                  (b) Review and Evaluation of Information regarding the
Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to examine the governing
instruments and the material disclosure and other documents and records of the
Company. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company and from representatives of the Company concerning the
Company's financial condition and business and to obtain such other information
that he has deemed necessary to make a fully informed decision.

                  (c) Purchaser's Financial Experience. The Purchaser is
sufficiently experienced in financial and business matters to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its/his investment in the Common Stock. The
Purchaser is familiar with the nature and risks attending investments.

                  (d) Suitability of Investment. The Purchaser understands that
the shares of Common Stock are speculative investments and involve a high
degree of risk, including but not limited to: there is no guarantee of success
of the business of the Company; he may not receive any return (economic or
otherwise) on his investment, and management and the majority shareholders of
the Company have extreme latitude and generally, the sole discretion, to
determine the financial picture, operations and potential dissolution of the
Company. The Purchaser has evaluated the merits and risks of the Purchaser's
proposed investment in the Common Stock, including those risks particular to
the Purchaser's personal situation, and he has determined that this investment
is suitable for the Purchaser. The Purchaser has adequate financial resources
for an investment of this character, and, at this time, the Purchaser could
bear a complete loss of his investment. Further, the Purchaser will continue to
have, after making his investment in the Common Stock, adequate means of
providing for his current needs, the needs of those dependent on him, and
possible personal contingencies.

<PAGE>   4

                  (e) Investment Intent. The Purchaser is purchasing the Common
Stock for investment purposes only and for his own account, and has no present
commitment, agreement or intention to sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of
any of them or to enter into any such commitment or agreement.

                  (f) No Public Market for the Common Stock. The Purchaser
understands that there is currently no public market for the Common Stock and
that even if a public market were to exist, there is no certainty that a public
market could be sustained or that the Common Stock could be easily liquidated.

                  (g) Rule 144. The Purchaser understands that he is an
"affiliate" of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act. The Purchaser also understands that the Common Stock
acquired by Purchaser will not be registered in the Rights Offering and for
resale purposes will be subject to the requirements and restrictions of Rule
144. Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act,
which, in substance, permits limited public sale of "restricted securities"
acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a nonpublic
offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 144 requires,
among other things: (1) that the resale occur not less than one year after the
party has purchased, and made full payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144,
the securities to be sold; and, in the case of an affiliate, or of a
nonaffiliate who has held the securities less than two years, (2) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the sale must
be made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as that term is defined under the
Exchange Act), and (4) the amount of securities being sold during any three
month period must not exceed the greater of (i) one percent (1%) of the then
issued and outstanding common stock of the Company or (ii) the average trading
volume of the common stock of the Company during the four weeks immediately
preceding the proposed sale.

                  (h) Non-Reliance Regarding Tax Consequences. The Purchaser is
not relying on the Company or any representation contained herein with respect
to the tax or economic effect of his investment in the Common Stock. The
Purchaser has reviewed with the Purchaser's own tax advisors the federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on
such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or
any of its representatives. The Purchaser understands that he shall be
responsible for the Purchaser's own tax liability that may arise as a result of
this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Purchaser understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the
purchase price for the Common Stock and the fair market value of the Common
Stock as of the date any restrictions on the Common Stock lapse.

                  (i) Prohibitions on Cancellation, Termination, Revocation,
Transferability, and Assignment. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, except as may be specifically provided herein or by applicable law, he is
not entitled to cancel, terminate, or revoke this Agreement. The Purchaser
further agrees that he may not transfer or assign its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company.

                  (j) Authority to Enter into Agreement. The Purchaser has the
full right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
perform his obligations hereunder, and when executed and delivered, this
Agreement will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such
Purchaser.

                  (k) Legends. Each certificate representing the Common Stock
may be endorsed with the following legends:

                      The securities represented by this certificate have been
                      acquired for investment and have not been registered
                      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
                      qualified under the laws of any state. Such shares may
                      not be sold or transferred in the absence of such
                      registration or such qualification unless the transfer is
                      in accordance with Rule 144 or similar rule or unless the
                      corporation receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
                      acceptable to it stating that such sale or transfer is
                      exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
                      requirements of said act and any applicable state
                      securities laws. Copies of the agreement covering the
                      purchase of these shares and restricting their transfer
                      may be obtained at no cost by written request made by the
                      holder of record of this certificate to the secretary of
