contained in such Item. 
  
 6.25. Disclosures. The written
materials delivered to the Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

 7. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each of the Investors hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that: 
  
 7.1. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Investor of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party have been duly authorized and will each constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their respective
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
  
 7.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Shares to be received by
the Investor hereunder will be acquired for the Investor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, and the Investor has no present intention of

inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Investor shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. 
  
 7.5. Restricted Shares. The Investor understands that the Shares are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they 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 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. 
  
 7.6. Legends. 
  
 (a) It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing such Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:

registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under applicable state securities laws.” 
  
 (b) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 9.1. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the conversion of the Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Shares), such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time equal the number of shares sufficient to permit the conversion of the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (without regard to any limitations on conversion of the Shares) in accordance with their
respective terms. 
  
 9.2. Registration of Common Stock.

  
 (a) Within ten (10) business days following the date hereof,
the Company shall (i) supplement the prospectus filed with the effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-103958) (the “Effective Registration Statement”) to indicate that the Debentures were exchanged for the
Shares and (ii) file a registration statement on Form S-2 (or such form as is then available to the Company) (the “New Registration Statement”) to register such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares that is not registered
pursuant to the Effective Registration Statement. In the event that the prospectus filed with the Effective Registration Statement may not be supplemented in accordance with the 1933 Act, the Company shall include all of the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Shares in the New Registration Statement. In the event that the Company supplements the prospectus filed with the Effective Registration Statement in accordance with the 1933 Act, then: (i) at the request of the Investors, the
Company shall cause its counsel, Leonard, Street and Deinard Professional Association, to opine that the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to the Effective Registration Statement and (ii)
the Company shall deliver the prospectus supplement to the Investors in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement relating to the Effective Registration Statement. 
  
 (b) The term “Registrable Securities” in Section 1.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended to
read as follows: 
  

 15 








 “Registrable Securities” shall mean the shares of Common Stock issuable
(i) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (ii) upon the exercise of the Warrants, (iii) upon exercise of the shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to the Investors pursuant to that certain Securities Exchange Agreement, dated as of
September 12, 2003, by and among the Company and the Investors, and (iv) issuable with respect to or in exchange for Registrable Securities; provided, that, a security shall cease to be a Registrable Security upon sale pursuant to a
Registration Statement.” 
  
 (c) All provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, as amended herein, shall remain in full force and effect and shall be applicable to the registration of the Shares. The Investors do not waive any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, including with respect
to penalty provisions contained therein. 
  
 9.3. Reports.
The Company will furnish to such Investors and/or their assignees such information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as from time to time may reasonably be requested by such Investors and/or their assignees; provided,
however, that the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as
being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information
enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto. 
  
 9.4. No Conflicting Agreements. The Company will not take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the obligations to the
Investors under the Transaction Documents.

Insurance. The Company shall not materially reduce the insurance coverages described in Section 6.18. 
  
 9.6. Compliance with Laws. The Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and decrees of all
governmental authorities, except to the extent non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 9.7. Listing of Underlying Shares and Related Matters. So long as the Investors own any of the Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Shares, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Common Stock to be listed and trading on Nasdaq and, once so listed and trading, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable. If, as and when the Company’s Common Stock or other securities are quoted on Nasdaq or traded on any other principal
stock exchange or market, the Company shall include in such application the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed. 
  

 16 








 9.8. Right to Participate. The Company covenants that the Investors’ right to participate in
future equity offerings, as described in Section 7.5 and 7.6 of those certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreements by and among the Investors and the Company, both dated as of January 31, 2003, shall continue to remain in full force and effect
until January 31, 2005. 
  
 9.9. Termination of Certain
Covenants. The provisions of Sections 9.3 through 9.7 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the date on which the Company’s obligations under Section 9.2 and the Registration Rights Agreement to register or maintain the
effectiveness of any registration covering the Registrable Securities (as such term is used in Section 9.2) shall terminate. 
  
 10. Survival and Indemnification. 
  
 10.1. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions contained in Section 9
hereof shall survive in accordance therewith. 
  
 10.2.
Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on an after-tax and after insurance recovery basis, each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding,
pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement hereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be
performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person. 
  
 10.3. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10.2, such
Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and
expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to
notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent 

  

 17 








 
shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding. 
  
 11. Miscellaneous. 
  
 11.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the
Investors, as applicable; provided, however, that an Investor may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a third party acquiring some or all of its Shares in a private transaction without the
prior written consent of the Company or the other Investors, after notice duly given by such Investor to the Company and the other Investors, provided, that no such assignment or obligation shall affect the obligations of such Investor hereunder.
The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the
parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 
  
 11.2. Counterparts; Faxes. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile, which shall be deemed an original. 
  
 11.3. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if
given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address as follows, or at such other

 11.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Schedules,
Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules, and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both
