transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will violate in any material
respect any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment,

to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Agreement or the other
Related Documents.

         4.8 PURCHASE FOR ENTIRELY OWN ACCOUNT. TLSI hereby confirms, that the
Shares to be received by TLSI (the "SECURITIES") will be acquired for investment
for TLSI's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that TLSI has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement and the other Related Documents, TLSI
further represents that TLSI does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

State of New York. TLSI is a corporation not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Shares, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.

         4.12 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. TLSI understands that the Securities it is
purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal

not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the
Securities Act (as defined in Section 5.6) only in certain limited

                                       6

Act, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current
information about NVC be available to the public.

laws or (b) in a sale pursuant to an exemption from such registration
requirements; provided, however, that NVC may require the transferor to provide
NVC with an opinion of counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
to NVC, to the effect that such Transfer is so exempt.

         6.3 RESTRICTIONS ON NUMBER OF SHARES SOLD. TLSI agrees that it will not
at any time sell a number of Shares in any continuous ninety-day period which,
when aggregated with previous sales of Shares made by it during such ninety-day
period, would total a number of Shares in excess of one percent 1% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of NVC as of the date of any such sale.
Subject to the foregoing limits, TLSI may sell its Shares pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act at such time as TLSI shall have satisfied the holding
period requirement of such Rule.

         6.4 RESTRICTIONS ON PERCENTAGE HOLDINGS SOLD IN REGISTERED SALES. TLSI
agrees that in the event that TLSI's shares are included in an effective
registration statement filed by NVC for the account of NVC or another party,
TLSI will not sell any such registered Shares, except in accordance with the
following amount limitations: (i) For the six month period of time following the
effective date of the registration statement (the "Effective Date"), no shares;
(ii) For the period of time commencing from the six month anniversary of the
Effective Date and ending on the nine month anniversary of the Effective Date a
number of Shares not exceeding 30% of the Shares held by it; (iii) For the
period of time commencing from the nine month anniversary of the Effective Date
and ending on the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Date a number of
Shares not exceeding 60% of the Shares held by it; and (iv) For the period of
time commencing from the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Date and
thereafter a number of Shares up to the full 100% of the Shares held by it. Such
limitations shall not apply to those number of Shares that would have been
saleable by TLSI pursuant to Rule 144 in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof but
for the effective registration statement.

7.       REDEMPTION OF SHARES UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

         7.1 OPTION OF NVC. Upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice, any or
all of the Shares may be redeemed at the option of NVC, expressed by resolution
of the Board of Directors, at any time, or from time to time, at a per share
redemption price equal to the original Purchase Price, as adjusted as set forth
herein ( the "Redemption Price") multiplied by a factor of 1.333333334. In case
of the redemption of less than all Shares at the time outstanding, the Shares to
be redeemed, may, but need not be, selected by NVC pro rata or by lot from TLSI
or any other holder thereof selected in any manner as may be determined by the
Board of Directors.

         7.2 REDEMPTION IN THE EVENT OF A QUALIFYING FINANCING TRANSACTION
Within thirty (30) days following the final closing of a Qualifying Financing
Transaction all of the Shares held by each Non-Objecting Holder shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price.

         7.3 REDEMPTION IN THE EVENT SHARES ARE NOT REGISTERED. In the event
that as of the first anniversary of the Effective Date, TLSI shall not have been
given the opportunity to register all of the Shares in one or more effective
registration statements under the Securities Act pursuant to the exercise of its
rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, all of the Shares held by each
Non-Objecting Holder shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price. In the event
that TLSI shall have been given the opportunity to participate in such
registration or registrations and shall have declined to participate, NVC shall
not be required to effect the redemption provided for herein. In the event that

                                       11
<PAGE>

NVC shall be required to redeem any of the Shares pursuant to this paragraph,
and NVC shall be, at such time, not permitted to effect such redemption
consistent with the statutory or regulatory requirements governing it in its
state of incorporation or the provisions of its articles of incorporation, or in
the event NVC shall be financially incapable of paying all or any part of the
Redemption Price, NVC shall not redeem the Shares, but such redemption shall be
deferred until such time as such legal or financial impediments are removed.

         7.4 ADJUSTMENTS TO REDEMPTION PRICE If NVC at any time or from time to
time after the Effective Date, effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Stock, the Redemption Price in effect before that subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased, and conversely, if NVC at any time or from time to
time after the Effective Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Redemption Price in effect before the
combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
Section 7.4 shall become effective at the close of business or the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective. If NVC at any time or from time to
time after the Effective Date makes, or fixes a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such
event the Redemption Price in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such
issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business
on such record date, by multiplying the Redemption Price in effect by a fraction
(1) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution; provided, however that if such record date is fixed and such
dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date
fixed therefor, the Redemption Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the
close of business on such record date and thereafter the Redemption shall be
adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.4 as of the time of actual payment of such
dividends or distributions.

         7.5 NOTICE. Notice of a NVC redemption pursuant to Section 7.1 above,
and of a required redemption pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 above, shall be
given by NVC by causing a notice of redemption to be mailed to each holder of
record of such shares to be redeemed as of the redemption date addressed to each
such holder at his or her address appearing on the books of NVC or given by him
or her to NVC for the purpose of notice, or if no such address appears or is
given, at the place where the principal office of NVC is located. Notice of a
required redemption pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3 above shall be given as
promptly as possible, and in any event no later than the third Business Day
following the final closing of a Qualifying Financing Transaction in the event
such a transaction is consummated and no later than the third day following the
first anniversary of the Effective Date in the event of a redemption pursuant to
Section 7.3. Each such notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the date fixed for redemption and shall indicate that the relevant event has or
is expected to occur and state that the holder is entitled to redemption
pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 hereof, as applicable. All notices of redemption
given by NVC pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 hereof shall specify (i) the

                                       12
<PAGE>

number of Shares of such holder to be redeemed, (ii) the date fixed for
redemption, (iii) the Redemption Price and, in the case of a redemption pursuant
to Section 7.1 above, the price per Share to be paid following the application
of the multiplier set forth therein and (iv) the place and manner of payment for
the Shares to be redeemed (including, if payment will be made available pursuant
to Section 7.8 below, a statement to that effect). Each notice of redemption
mailed pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be deemed to be delivered when
deposited in the United States mail, addressed as set forth above, with postage
thereon prepaid and shall be deemed to be received upon the earliest of (i) the
date of actual receipt; (ii) five days following mailing; or (iii) on the date
stamped on the return receipt if sent by registered mail or certified mail, with
return receipt requested. In no event shall holder be required to offer Shares
for redemption after one year from the date hereof to the extent it has notified
NVC in writing of its intention to sell such Shares pursuant to Rule 144.

         7.6 NOTICE OF OBJECTION. Each holder of Shares that does not desire to
have its Shares redeemed pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 above shall be entitled
to decline to have its Shares redeemed by mailing or forwarding by facsimile a
written notice (the "Notice of Objection") to NVC at the place where the
principal office of NVC is located. To be effective, such Notice of Objection
must be received by NVC at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date fixed
for redemption (as set forth in NVC's notice) Following receipt of such Notice
of Objection, the Shares of such holder shall no longer be considered scheduled
for redemption and shall not be redeemed. Such holder shall have no further
right to require redemption pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3.

         7.7 TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. The Shares scheduled for redemption shall,
as of the date fixed for redemption, no longer be deemed to be outstanding for
any purpose whatsoever, and all rights of the holders of such Shares in or with
respect to NVC shall forthwith cease and terminate, except only the right of the
holders of such Shares to receive payment for such shares upon surrender of the
certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. On or after
the date fixed for redemption and stated in the notice of redemption, each
holder of Shares scheduled for redemption shall surrender his or her certificate
evidencing such shares to NVC at the place designated by NVC and shall thereupon
be entitled to receive payment of the price therefor. In case less than all the
Shares represented by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed Shares. If such notice
of redemption shall have been duly given, and if on the date fixed for
redemption funds necessary for the redemption shall be available therefor,
notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any Shares so scheduled for
redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights including dividends with
respect to the Shares so scheduled for redemption and the right to transfer such
shares on the books of NVC, shall forthwith after such date cease and terminate,
except for the right of the holders of record on the date fixed for redemption
to receive the price therefor, without interest, upon surrender of their
certificates therefor.
