            (a) Organization; Good Standing; Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of


                                       4
<PAGE>
Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as
presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted by it and to enter into and
perform this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Series A Agreement, and the Registration
Rights Agreement (as defined below). The Company is duly qualified and in good
standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which
the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business,
result of operations, prospects, properties or condition (financial or
otherwise) and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction,
revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such
power and authority or qualification. The Company has no Subsidiaries (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) other than
Evergreen Solar Securities Corp.

            (b) Authorization and Noncontravention; Binding Effect. This
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and
among the Company and the parties thereto attached hereto as Exhibit D (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), the Warrant Agreement, the Series A Agreement,
and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered by the
Company pursuant hereto and thereto (collectively, the "Transaction Documents")
have been, or will be on or before the Closing, duly executed and delivered by
the Company, and are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited
by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights generally, and except that the availability of equitable
remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the
court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and delivery
of the Securities, and, upon conversion of the Warrants, the issuance and
delivery of the Warrant Shares, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or other action of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company
has determined, at a duly convened meeting or pursuant to a unanimous written
consent, that the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (including without limitation the issuance of the Shares and the
Warrant Shares), are in the best interests of the Company.

            (c) Valid Issuance of Common Stock. When issued to and paid for by
the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Warrant
Agreement, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all
liens, and the issuance of the Securities and the Warrant Shares will not be
subject to any preemptive or similar rights that have not been waived. The
Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant
Agreement.

            (d) Capitalization. As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized
and outstanding capitalization of the Company consists of (i) a total of
27,227,668 authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of
which 26,227,668 shares have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, 19,325,556 of which are issued or outstanding, and (ii) a total of
70,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, of which 18,627,132 shares were
issued and outstanding as of the close of business on June 15, 2004. All of such
outstanding shares are


                                       5
<PAGE>
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance
with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares
was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase securities. In addition to the foregoing, as of June 15, 2004,
warrants to purchase a total of 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding and such shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance, options
to purchase a total of 5,427,937 shares of Common Stock were outstanding and
such shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance, and the Company is
authorized to grant up to 10,325,000 additional shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Company Stock Option Plans. Warrants to purchase a total of 125,000
shares of Common Stock issued to the Placement Agent will be outstanding as of
the Closing Date and such shares of Common Stock will be reserved for issuance.
Except as set forth in this Section 6(d), there are no other outstanding
options, warrants or similar agreements or rights for the purchase from the
Company of any shares of its capital stock or any securities convertible into or
ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of the Company's capital
stock. Without limiting the foregoing, except pursuant to the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement and the preemptive rights held by the holders of
Series A Stock, no preemptive right, co-sale right, right of first refusal,
registration right, or other similar right exists with respect to the Shares or
the issuance and sale thereof. Assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares
of Series A Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Agreement
and the Series A Certificate of Designations, no further approval or
authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors of the Company or other
persons is required for the issuance and sale of the Shares. There are no
stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with
respect to the Common Stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge
of the Company, between or among any of the Company's stockholders, except the
Series A Agreement.

            (e) Defaults. Neither the issuance and sale of the Securities
pursuant to the terms and conditions hereunder nor the execution and delivery of
the Transaction Documents and the performance of the Company's obligations
thereunder will (i) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default (or constitute an event that, with notice or lapse of time,
would constitute a violation or breach of or a default) under (A) the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (B) any decree, judgment,
order or determination of any court, governmental agency or body, or any
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Company's assets;

the Company is subject, or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any
of the material properties or assets of the Company or an acceleration of
indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any
material bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any
material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the
material property or assets of the Company is subject. Neither the sale of the
Securities hereunder nor the performance of the Company's other obligations
under this Agreement will result in the suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, right
or approval applicable to the Company, its businesses or operations or any of
its assets or properties. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of,
or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body,
administrative agency, or other governmental body in the United States or any
other person is required for the


                                       6

sale of the Securities hereunder, other than such as have been made or obtained,
and except for any post-closing securities filings or notifications required to
be made under federal or state securities laws and the Nasdaq National Market
Additional Listing Application. Based in part on the representations of each of

federal and state securities laws and the Company has made or will make all
requisite filings and has taken or will take all action necessary to comply,
with such federal and state securities laws.

            (f) General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting
on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form

internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)

Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company's Form 10-K or
10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of a
date prior to the filing date of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2004 (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the conclusions of the certifying officers

quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or
designated. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of
the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the

statement(s).

binding agreement of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
generally and except that the availability of equitable remedies, including

registered under the Securities Act, based on the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder, and

the Securities depends in part on such Purchaser's representations and
warranties hereunder.

            (c) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Such Purchaser is acquiring
the Securities for its own account (or for an account over which it exercises
investment discretion) for investment purposes and not with a view to the
distribution thereof within the meaning of the

Securities Act or are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act; provided, however, that, in making such representation, such
Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or specific term
and reserves the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities
at any time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and with Federal
and state securities laws applicable to such sale, transfer or disposition.

            (d) Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the
Shares and the Warrant Shares constitute "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be sold, pledged or
otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
registration thereunder is available.

            (e) Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, who by reason of
such Purchaser's business and financial experience has such knowledge and

upon or made any recommendation or endorsement with respect to the Securities.

            (g) SEC Filings. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company may be
required to file this Agreement with the Commission under the Securities Act and
the rules thereunder and/or the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, and to
describe the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in such filing, and
subsequent filings, and such Purchaser hereby consents to such filing; provided,
that the Company shall provide each Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on any such filing.

            (h) Short Sales. To such Purchaser's knowledge, neither such
Purchaser, nor any of its affiliates, is presently the record or beneficial
owner of a short position in the Common Stock.

            (i) Receipt of Information. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to
ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the issuance and sale of the Securities and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain any
additional information requested and has received and considered all information
it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Shares.

            (j) Legends. Such Purchaser understands that any certificates
evidencing the Shares will bear substantially the following legend:

      "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
      UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE APPLICABLE
      SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,

                                       15
<PAGE>
      ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN
      COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES
      LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION."

Certificates evidencing the Shares or the Warrant Shares shall not contain
any legend (i) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares, as
applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration
statement, as certified by a selling Purchaser to the Company, (ii) if
such Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, are eligible for sale under
Rule 144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company agrees
that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section
7(l), the Company shall cause its counsel to promptly issue a legal
opinion addressed to the Company's transfer agent if required by the
Company's transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder as
and when any Purchaser so requests. The Company agrees that at such time
as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7(l), it will,
promptly following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant
Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered
to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares
that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

securities of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for equity securities of the Company (except pursuant to
registration on Form S-8 or any successor thereto) during the period beginning
on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of the termination of this
Agreement or the date on which a registration statement covering the Shares and
the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Registration
Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the Commission; provided, that
the foregoing restrictions shall have no effect on the Company's registration
statement on Form S-3 filed on June 13, 2003, as amended on July 16, 2003.

            (e) Securities Law Filings. For so long as the Purchasers and their
respective Affiliates in the aggregate hold at least 2% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (assuming, for purposes of making such determination,
that all of the Warrants have been exercised in full), the Company agrees to
file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other filings
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

            (f) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company hereby covenants and agrees to
use its best efforts to maintain its eligibility to make filings with the
Commission on Form S-3 until one or more registration statements covering the
resale of all of the Shares and the Warrant


                                       19
<PAGE>
Shares shall have been filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

            (g) Public Statements. The Company shall issue a press release not
later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day following the date
of this Agreement disclosing the material terms of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
which press release shall be followed by the filing of a Form 8-K, including as
exhibits thereto this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, with the
Commission not later than the close of business on the second Business Day
following the Closing and to make such other filings and notices in the manner
and time required by the Commission. Following the issuance of the press release
and the filing of a Form 8-K in accordance with this Section 9(g), no Purchaser
will possess any material non-public information concerning the Company provided
by the Company or its agents or counsel. The Company acknowledges that each
Purchaser is relying on the representations, acknowledgements and agreements
made by the Company in this Section 9(g) and elsewhere in this Agreement in
making trading and other decisions concerning the Company's securities. The
Company agrees that it will not at any time following the date hereof disclose
material non-public information to any Purchaser without first receiving such
Purchaser's written consent to such disclosure. The Company and the Placement
Agent shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to the press
release referenced in the preceding sentence, and neither the Company nor the
Placement Agent shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any public
statement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
without the prior consent of the other party, provided that each Purchaser shall
have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such press release or
Form 8-K prior to the issuance or filing thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include
the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission, without the prior
written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by the Securities Act
in connection with the registration statement(s) contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent that such disclosure is
required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, in which case the Company
shall provide such Purchaser with prior written notice of such disclosure.

            (h) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Securities in the ordinary course of its business and consistent
with past practice; provided, however, that the Company shall not use such
proceeds (i) to repurchase or redeem any equity securities issued by the
Company, (ii) to pay any dividend or make any distribution on any such
securities, or (iii) to repay any loan made to or incurred by any employee or
Affiliate of the Company.

            (i) Stockholder Approval. If necessary, the Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 4350(i) of the
Marketplace Rules of the NASD (the "Stockholder Approval") for the issuance of
the Warrant Shares (which approval shall be effected in a manner that complies
with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market) at the next
meeting of the Company's stockholders duly called and held, or any continuance
thereof, whether by adjournment, postponement or otherwise, and shall cause such
meeting to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable after the
date hereof. At such stockholders meeting and in the proxy statement prepared in
connection with such stockholders meeting, the Board of Directors


                                       20
<PAGE>
of the Company shall recommend approval by the stockholder of the issuance of
the Securities and all other matters related thereto which are submitted for
stockholder approval. The Company shall provide Goodwin Procter LLP with an
adequate and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such proxy
statement and each amendment thereto prior to filing with the Commission. If
such stockholder approval if not obtained at the next stockholders meeting, the
Company shall cause additional stockholder meetings to be duly called and held
every six (6) months thereafter until such approval is effective.

      SECTION 10. Termination.

            (a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the
Closing as follows:

            (i) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by mutual written
      consent of the Company and each Purchaser;

            (ii) at the election of the Company or the Purchasers by written
      notice to the other parties hereto after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June
      25, 2004, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to such date,
      unless such date is extended by the mutual written consent of the Company
      and each Purchaser; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
      Agreement under this Section 10(a)(ii) shall not be available to any party
      whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under
      this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the
      Closing to occur on or before such date;

            (iii) at the election of the Company with respect to a Purchaser, if
      there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
      or agreement on the part of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement,
      which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days of
      notice to such Purchaser of such breach; or

            (iv) at the election of any Purchaser, if there has been a material
      breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part
      of the Company contained in this Agreement, which breach has not been
      cured within fifteen (15) Business Days of notice to the Company of such
      breach.

      If this Agreement so terminates, it shall become null and void and have no
further force or effect, except as provided in Section 11(b) below.

            (b) Survival. If this Agreement is terminated and the transactions
contemplated hereby are not consummated as described above, this Agreement shall
become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of
Section 11(b); provided, however, that (i) none of the parties hereto shall have
any liability in respect of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10(a)(i) or (ii), and (ii) nothing shall relieve any of the parties from
liability for actual damages resulting from a termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 10(a)(iii) or (iv); and provided, further, that none of the
parties hereto shall have any liability for speculative, indirect, unforeseeable
or consequential damages or lost profits resulting from any legal action
relating to any termination of this Agreement.



                                       21
<PAGE>
      SECTION 11. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants;
Indemnification.

            (a) Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All of
the representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement until twenty-four (24) months following the Closing
Date, except for (a) Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(d), 6(z) and 6(aa), which
representations and warranties shall survive until the third anniversary of the
Closing Date, and (b) Section 6(m), which shall survive until the later to occur
of (i) the lapse of the statute of limitations with respect to the assessment of
any tax to which such representation and warranty relates (including any
extensions or waivers thereof) and (ii) sixty (60) days after the final
administrative or judicial determination of the taxes to which such
representation and warranty relates, and no claim with respect to Section 6(m)
may be asserted thereafter with the exception of claims arising out of any fact,
circumstance, action or proceeding to which the party asserting such claim shall
have given notice to the other parties to this Agreement prior to the
termination of such period of reasonable belief that a tax liability will
subsequently arise therefrom. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
all such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall inure to
the benefit of the parties (subject to Section 11(b) below) and their respective
successors and assigns and to their transferees of the Securities.

            (b) Indemnification.

            (i) The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each
      Purchaser, its respective subsidiaries, their respective Affiliates and
      direct and indirect partners (including partners of partners and
      stockholders and members of partners), members, stockholders, directors,
      officers, employees and agents and each person who controls any of them
      within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
      the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties" and
      each a "Purchaser Indemnified Party"), harmless from and against any and
      all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, amounts paid in settlement,
      penalties, actions, judgments, fines, suits, claims, costs, attorneys'
      fees, expenses and disbursements, as the same are incurred, of any kind or
      nature (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all
      amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing and
      consequential damages) ("Losses") which may be sustained or suffered by
      any such Purchaser Indemnified Party in any manner based upon, relating to
      or arising out of (a) any untrue representation, misstatement, material
      omission, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenants or
      agreement by such Company contained herein or in any Transaction Document
      or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser Indemnified Party by any
      stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser
      Indemnified Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by
      the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of
      such Purchaser Indemnified Party's representation, warranties or covenants
      under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such
      Purchaser Indemnified Party may have with any such stockholder or any
      violations by such Purchaser Indemnified Party of state or federal
      securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud,
      gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). The Company will
      also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under
      applicable law; provided, however, that the Purchaser Indemnified Party
      provides an undertaking to repay such


                                       22
<PAGE>
      advances to Company if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified
      Party is not entitled to indemnification. The Purchaser Indemnified Party
      and the Company will cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

            (ii) A Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give written notice of a
      claim for indemnification under this Section 11 to the Company promptly
      after receipt of any written claim by any third party and in any event not
      later than twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of any such written
      claim (or not later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of any
      such written claim in the event such written claim is in the form of a
      formal complaint filed with a court of competent jurisdiction and served
      on such Purchaser Indemnified Party), specifying in reasonable detail the
      amount, nature and source of the claim, and including therewith copies of
      any notices or other documents received from third parties with respect to
      such claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not
      limit the right of a Purchaser Indemnified Party to recover indemnity or
      reimbursement except to the extent that the Company suffers any material
      prejudice or material harm with respect to such claim as a result of such
      failure. The Purchaser Indemnified Party shall also provide the Company
      with such further information concerning any such claims as the Company
      may reasonably request by written notice.

            (iii) Within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice of a
      claim for indemnification or reimbursement, the Company shall, by written
      notice to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, either (A) concede or deny
      liability for the claim in whole or in part, or (B) in the case of a claim
      asserted by a third party, advise that the matters set forth in the notice
      are, or will be, subject to contest or legal proceedings not yet finally
      resolved. If the Company concedes liability in whole or in part, it shall,
      within twenty (20) Business Days of such concession, pay the amount of the
      claim to the Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent of the liability
      conceded. Any such payment shall be made in immediately available funds
      equal to the amount of such claim so payable. If the Company denies
      liability in whole or in part or advises that the matters set forth in the
      notice are, or will be, subject to contest or legal proceedings not yet
      finally resolved, then the Company shall make no payment (except for the
      amount of any conceded liability payable as set forth above) until the
      matter is resolved by a final judgment (not subject to any appeal) of a
      court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

            (iv) In the case of any third party claim, if within five (5)
      Business Days after receiving the notice described in the preceding
      Section 11(a), the Company (A) gives written notice to the Purchaser
      Indemnified Party stating that the Company disputes and intends to defend
      against such claim, liability or expense at the Company's own cost and
      expense and (B) provides assurance reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser
      Indemnified Party that such indemnification will be paid fully and
      promptly if required and such Purchaser Indemnified Party will not incur
      cost or expense during the proceeding, then counsel for the defense shall
      be selected by the Company (subject to the consent of such Purchaser
      Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
      the Company shall not be required to make any payment to the Purchaser
      Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long
      as the Company is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own
      expense; provided, however,


                                       23
<PAGE>
      that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the Company shall
      relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or
      potentially subject to indemnification. If the Company assumes such
      defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the
      right, with the consent of such Purchaser Indemnified Party, which consent
      shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters
      related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled
      provided the Company's obligation to indemnify such Purchaser Indemnified
      Party therefor will be fully satisfied only by payment of money by the
      Company pursuant to a settlement which includes a complete release of such
      Purchaser Indemnified Party. The Company shall keep such Purchaser
      Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or
      expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall
      furnish such Purchaser Indemnified Party with all documents and
      information that such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall reasonably request
      and shall consult with such Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to acting on
      major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything
      herein stated, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall at all times have
      the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly
      or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action
      or proceeding include both the Company and one or more Purchaser
      Indemnified Parties and representation of such parties by the same counsel
      would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct,
      the reasonable expense of separate counsel for all Purchaser Indemnified
      Parties shall be paid by the Company, provided that the Company shall be
      obligated to pay for only one counsel for all Purchaser Indemnified
      Parties in any jurisdiction. If no such notice of intent to dispute and
      defend is given by the Company, or if such diligent good faith defense is
      not being or ceases to be conducted, such Purchaser Indemnified Party may
      undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Purchaser
      Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such
      claim, liability or expense (exercising reasonable business judgment) with
      the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld. If such claim, liability or expense is one that by its nature
      cannot be defended solely by the Company, then such Purchaser Indemnified
      Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Company
      may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Company in such
      defense.

      SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

            (a) Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. The terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in effect between the
Company and each Purchaser represent the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any prior
agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties
respecting such subject matter. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No course of dealing between or
among any of the parties hereto and no delay on the part of any party hereto in
exercising any rights hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a waiver of the
rights hereof and thereof. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision,


                                       24
<PAGE>
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party
to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.

            (b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement inures to the benefit of
and is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, and no
other person has any right or obligation hereunder. No Purchaser may assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, other than to Affiliates of
such Purchaser, without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that any permitted transferee shall
agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions hereof that apply to the "Purchasers". The Company may not assign
this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser, except pursuant to a merger, recapitalization or
other business combination transaction in which the surviving entity agrees in
writing to assume all of the covenants, liabilities and obligations of the
Company hereunder. Any assignment contrary to the terms hereof is null and void
and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement is intended to give any person not named herein the benefit of any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except as
expressly provided herein.

            (c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract
made under, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof. Each
party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts sitting in the City of New York in the borough of Manhattan for
the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not
to assert in any suit, action or proceeding involving an Investor or permitted
assignee of such Investor, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought
in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted
by law.

            (d) Remedies. It is specifically understood and agreed that any
breach of the provisions of the Transaction Documents by any party subject
hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the
remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in
addition to any other remedies which they may have, such other parties may
enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the
extent permitted by law) without the necessity of showing economic loss or the
posting of any bond.

            (e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
prohibited or invalid under such applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such
prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision
or the other provisions of this Agreement.



                                       25

            (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall
be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same document. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

            (g) Notices. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder must be in writing and, except as otherwise noted herein,

                        Purchaser on the Schedule of Purchasers, marked for
                        attention as there indicated.

or to such other address as the party to whom notice is to be given may have
furnished to the other in writing in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 12(g). Any such notice or communication will be deemed to have been
received: (A) in the case of telecopy or personal delivery, on the date of such
delivery; (B) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier, on the
next Business Day after such notice is timely delivered to such courier; and (C)
if by registered or certified mail, on the Business Day actually received by the

            (h) Expenses. Each party will bear its own expenses related to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that the Company will
reimburse the Purchasers and the Placement Agent for reasonable legal fees and
expenses incurred by them in connection with the offer and sale of the
Securities up to, but not exceeding, $100,000 in the aggregate.

            (i) Section Headings. The descriptive headings and subheadings
herein have been inserted for convenience only and are not to be deemed to limit
or otherwise affect the construction of any provisions hereof.

            (j) No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such
knowledge in business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or
representation of any other party in connection with entering into this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or such transactions (other than the
representations made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents),
(iii) it has not received from such party any assurance or guarantee as to the
merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the performance of its
obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its


                                       26
<PAGE>
own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting
advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and has entered into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents based on its own independent
judgment and on the advice of its advisors as it has deemed necessary, and not
on any view (whether written or oral) expressed by such other party.

            (k) Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of the other Purchasers hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
investor hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or
document delivered at the Closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or a
"group" as described in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or create a
presumption that any Purchasers are in any way acting in concert with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
