3.       REPRESENTATIONS,  WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

        Except as set forth below, the Company makes no representations,
warranties or covenants of any nature or kind.

        3.1 ORGANIZATION, STANDING AND POWER. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Company has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry
on its business as now being conducted and is duly qualified to do business and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified
would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

        3.2 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists
of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000

or understandings with respect to the voting common stock of the Company.

        3.3     AUTHORIZATION.

                3.3.1 The Company has full legal right, power and capacity to

rights or affecting generally the availability of equitable remedies.

                3.3.3 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Company, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the
Company in accordance with


                                       2
<PAGE>
the terms hereof shall not conflict with or result in a breach of, violation of,
or default under (or constitute an event that with notice, lapse of time, or
both, would constitute a breach or default under), or result in the termination
of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any
liens or other encumbrances upon any of the properties or assets of the Company
under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, any applicable provision of the laws of the State of
Delaware, or any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust,
license, lease, credit agreement or other agreement, document, instrument or
obligation to which the Company is a party or by which any of its assets or
properties are bound.

                3.3.4 Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by

the Company will violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, statute,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its assets or properties.

        3.4     VALID ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.

        3.4.1 The Shares and Warrants being purchased by the Investor hereunder
and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, when issued, sold
and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, for the
consideration expressed herein or therein, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and will be issued in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws.

        3.4.2 The outstanding shares of Common Stock are all duly and validly

        3.4.3 The Company has full power, right and authority to transfer,
convey and sell to the Investors on the Closing Date the Shares and Warrants and
upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each
Investor will have acquired good and valid title to the Shares and Warrants
purchased by such Investor, free and clear of claims, liens, restrictions on
transfer or voting or encumbrances.

        3.5 LITIGATION. Except as referred to in the SEC Documents, as defined
below, or as disclosed in Schedule 3.5, there are no claims, suits, actions or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against,
relating to or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, before any
court, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or
authority, or any arbitrator that would reasonably be expected, either alone or
in the aggregate with all such claims, actions or proceedings, to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition or the
transactions contemplated hereunder. Except as referred to in the Company's SEC
Documents, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is subject to any
judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, governmental
department, commission, agency, instrumentality or authority, or any arbitrator
which prohibits or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or
financial condition or the transactions contemplated hereunder.

        3.6 SEC DOCUMENTS; THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company is a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange


                                       3
<PAGE>
Act"), and files annual and periodic reports (the "SEC Documents") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As of their respective filing
dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to the Company
and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the SEC Documents contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except to the
extent corrected by a subsequently filed document with the SEC. The SEC
Documents contain an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the
end of the last completed fiscal year (the "Balance Sheet") and the related
audited consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the year then ended
(collectively, the "Financials"). The Financials have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent through the periods indicated
and consistent with each other. The Financials present fairly the consolidated
financial condition and operating results and cash flows of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of the dates and during the periods indicated therein. Since the
date of the Balance Sheet and until the date of this Agreement, there has not
occurred any material adverse change in the business, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
which has not been reflected in the SEC Documents.

        3.7 FORM S-3 ELIGIBILITY. The Company is currently eligible to register
the resale of the Common Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the
Securities Act. To the Company's knowledge, there exist no facts or
circumstances that would prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of a
registration statement on Form S-3.

        3.8 DISCLOSURE. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the schedules,
attachments, or certificates attached to this Agreement or delivered by the
Company on the Closing Date, contains any untrue statements of material fact or
omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading. There is no fact which the Company has not disclosed to
the Investors, orally or in writing, which could reasonably be anticipated to
have a material adverse effect, upon the financial condition, operating results
or assets, of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain information
provided by the Company to the Investors contained statements that are
forward-looking, which are covered by the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly
affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly, such results may
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by
or on behalf of the Company.

        3.7 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. To the best of its knowledge, the Company is
not in violation of any applicable law, regulation, judgment, order or consent
decree (of any governmental or non-governmental regulatory or self-regulatory
agency or any organized exchange, including without limitation, the SEC, any
state or local securities or insurance regulatory body, or the Internal Revenue
Service), which violation is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, or this transaction.

        3.8 REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS, INVESTIGATIONS AND INQUIRIES. To the best of
its knowledge, except as disclosed previously by the Company, the Company has
not been the subject of any material regulatory proceeding, examination,
investigation or inquiry (known to the Company), including any pending or
threatened regulatory proceeding, investigation or inquiry (known to the
Company) (including without limitation any by


                                       4
<PAGE>
governmental or non-governmental regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any
organized exchange) relating to the Company.

      3.9   SUBSEQUENT TRANSACTIONS.

      (a) Until the earlier of (i) four years of the Closing Date or (ii) such
time as the Special Situations Investors (as hereinafter defined) own less than
10% of the aggregate number of shares purchased by them hereunder, the Company
shall not, without the consent of the Special Situations Investors (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned):

                  (I) sell or issue any security of the Company convertible,
exercisable or exchangeable into common stock of the Company, having a
conversion, exercise or exchange price, per share which is subject to downward
adjustment based on the market price of the common stock at the time of the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such security into common stock (except for
appropriate adjustments made to give effect to any stock splits, stock dividends
and the like); or

                  (II) enter into (a) any equity line or similar agreement or
arrangement; or (b) any agreement to sell common stock of the Company (or any
security convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of common stock
("Common Share Equivalent")) at a per share price (or, with respect to a Common
Share Equivalent, at a conversion, exercise or exchange price, as the case may
be ("Equivalent Price")) that is fixed after the execution date of the
agreement, whether or not based on any predetermined price-setting formula or
calculation method. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however a price protection
clause shall be permitted in an agreement for sale of common stock or Common
Stock Equivalent, if such clause provides for an adjustment to the price per
share of common stock or, with respect to a Common Stock Equivalent, to the
Equivalent Price (provided that such price or Equivalent Price is fixed on or
before the execution date of the agreement) (the "Fixed Price") in the event
that the Company, during the period beginning on the date of the agreement and
ending no later than 90 days after the closing date of the transaction, sells
shares of common stock or Common Stock Equivalent to another investor at a price
or Equivalent Price, as the case may be, below the Fixed Price.

      (b) During the ninety day period from the Closing Date, the Company shall
not, without the consent of the Special Situations Investors (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), enter any agreement
to sell common shares or any Common Share Equivalent at a per share price below
$2.50.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following transactions shall not be
subject to the restrictions of this Section 3.9:

      (i)      the issuance of capital stock to employees, consultants, officers
               or directors of the Company pursuant to stock purchase or stock
               option plans or agreements approved by the Board of Directors,
      (ii)     the issuance of securities in connection with acquisition
               transactions,
      (iii)    the issuance of securities to financial institutions or lessors
               in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment
               financings or similar transactions,
      (iv)     the issuance of securities pursuant to currently outstanding
               options, warrants,                            notes, or other
               rights to acquire securities of the Company; or
      (v)      any public transaction.


                                       5
<PAGE>
      (d)  For purposes hereof, the term "Special Situations Investors" shall
      mean Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P.  and  Special
      Situations Fund III, L.P. as a group.

4.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH INVESTOR

        Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company the
following:

        4.1 AUTHORITY. Investor has full legal right, power and capacity to
enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all attendant
documents and instruments contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Investor and is enforceable with respect to Investor in accordance with its
terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, priority
or other laws or court decisions relating to or affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors' rights or affecting generally the availability of
equitable remedies.

        4.2 NO VIOLATION OF AGREEMENTS. Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder
by Investor will violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, statute,
rule or regulation applicable to Investor or its assets or properties.

        4.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy
of the representations and warranties of the Company, the Investor believes that
it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate
for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and Warrants. The Investor further
represents that it has had an opportunity to review the SEC Documents and had
sufficient opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company and
its directors and officers regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Shares and Warrants and the business and operations of the Company. The
foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to
rely thereon.

      4.4 ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS. The Investor is an "Accredited Investor"
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act.

      4.5 RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS. The Investor understands that the Securities
are being offered and sold to the Investor in reliance upon specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the
Investor's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the
Investor to acquire the Securities. The Investor understands that the resale of
Securities is "restricted" under applicable U.S. Federal and state securities
laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor must hold the Securities
indefinitely unless they are registered for resale with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from
such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor
acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the
Securities for resale except as set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement.
The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or


                                       6
<PAGE>
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements
including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period
for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are
outside of the Investor's control.

        4.6 TRANSFER OR RESALE. The Investor understands that (i) except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale or resale of the
Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act
or any state securities laws, and may not be transferred unless (a) the resale
of the Securities has been registered thereunder, or (b) the Investor shall have
delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be
sold or transferred under an exemption from such registration, or (c) sold under
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) ("Rule
144"), or (d) sold or transferred to an affiliate of the Investor which agrees
in writing to be bound by the terms hereof and which makes written
representations and warranties as set forth in this Section 2; and (ii) neither
the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such
Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other
than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement).

      4.7 LEGENDS. The Investor understands that the certificates for the Common
Stock and the Warrants and, until such time as the Warrant Shares have been
registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement or otherwise may be sold by the Investor under Rule 144, the
certificates for the Common Stock and Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive
legend in substantially the following form:

            The securities represented by this certificate have not been
            registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
            securities laws of any state of the United States. The securities
            represented hereby may not be offered or sold in the absence of an
            effective registration statement for the securities under applicable
            securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred under an
            available exemption from the registration requirements of those
            laws.

      The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which such
legend is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (a)
the resale of such Security is registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (b) such holder provides the Company with
an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of
counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer
of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act or
(c) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the resale
of such Security is covered by Rule 144(k). The Investor agrees to sell all
Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the
legend has been removed, only pursuant to an effective registration statement or
under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In
the event the above legend is removed from any Security subject to an effective
registration statement and thereafter the effectiveness of the registration
statement covering such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a
supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then
upon reasonable advance notice to the Investor the Company may require that the
above legend be placed on any such Security subject to an effective registration
statement, or


                                       7
<PAGE>
may place appropriate "stop transfer" instructions with its transfer agent, and
the Investor shall cooperate in the prompt replacement of such legend. The
Company shall use its best efforts to remove such suspension or file such
amendment as promptly as possible, and such legend shall be removed or "stop
transfer" instructions canceled, when such Security again may be sold pursuant
to an effective registration statement or such legend otherwise may be removed
under conditions (b) or (c) above.

      4.8 KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. The Investor has such knowledge and
experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular,
investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made
available to it in connection with the offering of the Securities to evaluate
the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and the Company and to
make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. The Investor is not
relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents with respect to the
legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the
Securities, and the Investor has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with,
only his own advisors. The Investor has significant prior investment experience,
including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. The Investor
has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the
Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Investor's overall commitment
to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its
net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Securities will
not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one
for the Investor. The Purchase has reviewed or had the opportunity to review the
Company's public filings under the Exchange Act as filed with the SEC.

      4.9  NO NEED FOR LIQUIDITY.  The Investor has adequate means of
providing for such Investor's current financial needs and foreseeable
contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the
Securities for an indefinite period of time.

      4.10 NO MANIPULATIONS. So as long as an Investor beneficially owns any
Warrants, neither the Investor nor any person acting on behalf of such Investor
shall take any action intended to decrease the trading price of the Company's
Common Stock. For as long as the Warrants are outstanding, each Investor agrees
not to effect "short" sales in the Common Stock, loan shares or otherwise
participate in any transaction which could be considered as a "short sale" under
the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act (a "Short Sale")
and agrees to prohibit each executive, employee, representative, officer,
director of the Investor from effecting any Short Sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as an effective registration statement covering a resale of
Common Stock of Investor is timely delivered, the provisions of this Section
4.10 shall not prohibit a sale, including a Short Sale, by an Investor of shares
of Common Stock. In addition, from and after the date hereof until the Closing
Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Investor shall not effect
"short" sales in the Common Stock.

5.       CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY

equity, if the Company shall be in default or breach of any of its
representations, warranties or agreements under this Agreement:

        6.1 ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations and

effect signed by the Company, and dated as of the Closing Date.

        6.3 NO ADVERSE EVENTS. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date,

Company taken as a whole shall have been materially adversely affected in any
manner.

        6.4      DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS.
