 (a) Organization. The Company
is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of
incorporation. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company (as hereinafter defined). All of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries is owned either directly or indirectly by the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries have all requisite corporate power and authority, and hold all licenses, permits and other required
authorizations from governmental authorities, necessary to conduct their business as it is now being conducted or proposed to be conducted and to own or lease their properties and assets as they are now owned or held under lease. 
  
 (b) Capitalization. On the date hereof, the authorized capital of the
Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.02 per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of May 14, 2003 there were 96,620,858 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
and no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. Schedule 3(b) sets forth all of the options, warrants and convertible securities of the Company, and any other rights to acquire securities of the Company (collectively, the
“Derivative 







 Securities”) which are outstanding on the date hereof, including in each case: (i) the name and class of such
Derivative Securities; and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Derivative Securities are convertible as of the date hereof. All outstanding securities of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No
stockholder of the Company is entitled to any preemptive rights with respect to the purchase of or sale of any securities by the Company. Except as contemplated herein, none of the shares of capital stock of the Company are reserved for any purpose,
other than the issuance upon exercise or conversion of the Derivative Securities, and the Company is neither subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise), nor has any option, to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its
capital stock. 
  
 (c) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares
are duly authorized and, when issued for the Purchase Price, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, will be free and clear of any liens imposed by or through the Company, will not be subject to preemptive rights and will not
subject the holder thereof to personal liability by reason of being such a holder. There are currently no preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company to acquire the Shares. The Shares underlying the Warrants are duly authorized and reserved
for by the Company. 
  
 (d) Reporting Company Status. The
Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company files reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 12 and/or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company has duly filed all materials and
documents required to be filed pursuant to all reporting obligations under either Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Common Stock is listed and traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). 
  
 (e) Legality. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into each of the Transaction Documents and to issue and deliver the Shares and the Warrants. 
  
 (f) Due Execution. The Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company; the
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are each the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that
enforcement of such agreement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of
equity. 
  
 (g) Non-contravention. The execution and
delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, does not (i) result in a violation of either the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, or (ii) constitute a
default under (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) or give to others any rights of termination, amendment or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party,
or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (foreign or domestic and including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any material property or asset of the
Company is bound or affected other than any of the foregoing which 







 would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined). Except as set forth in Schedule 3(g), neither
the filing of the registration statement required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement nor the offering or sale of the Shares, or shares underlying the Warrants, as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any
rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied on or prior to the date hereof, for or relating to the registration of any shares of the Common Stock. 
  
 (h) Approvals. Other than the filing of a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and the receipt by the Company of approval from the SEC for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, no authorization, approval or consent of any court,
governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be obtained by the Company for the entry into or the performance of the Transaction Documents. 

 
 (i) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. Since September 1, 2002,
the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms and statements required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (hereinafter, the “SEC Documents”). As of their respective
dates, 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 in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or year end accounting or audit adjustments or may be condensed or summary
statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and results of their operations and cash flows for the periods covered thereby (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). 
  
 (j) Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no material obligation or liability (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated, or otherwise, whether due or to become due) arising out of transactions entered into at or prior
to the Closing of this Agreement, or any action or inaction at or prior to the Closing of this Agreement, or any state of facts existing at or prior to the Closing of this Agreement, except (a) liabilities described in or reflected on the latest
balance sheet included in the SEC Documents (the “Company Balance Sheet”), and (b) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the Company Balance Sheet. 
  
 (k) Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Documents, since March 31, 2003, there has been no material adverse change in the business, properties, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (each, a “Material Adverse
Effect”). 
  
 (l) Insurance. The Company and its
subsidiaries maintain property and casualty, general liability, personal injury and other similar types of insurance that are reasonably adequate 







 and consistent with industry standards and historical claims experience. The Company and its subsidiaries have not
received notice from, and have no knowledge of any threat by, any insurer (that has issued any insurance policy to the Company or its subsidiaries) that such insurer intends to deny coverage under or cancel, discontinue or not renew any insurance
policy covering the Company or any of its subsidiaries presently in force. 
  
 (m) Compliance with Law. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and its subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes and regulations of the United States and of all
states, municipalities and applicable agencies and foreign jurisdictions or bodies in respect of the conduct of its business and operations, and the failure, if any, by the Company or its subsidiaries to have fully complied with any such statute or
regulation has not resulted in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 (n) Brokerage Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(n), the Company and its subsidiaries have not incurred any liability for any consulting fees or agent’s commissions in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

being, registered under the Securities Act, and such securities may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) they are transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; and (ii) any sale of the Shares or the
Shares underlying Warrants made in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule, accompanied by a legal opinion obtained by the Purchasers which is satisfactory to the Company’s
legal counsel. The provisions of Section 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, together with the rights and obligations of the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents, shall be binding upon any subsequent transferees of the Shares or the Shares underlying
Warrants. 
  
 (b) Restrictive Legend. Each of the
Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that, until such time as the Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act or such Purchaser demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company and its legal counsel that such registration
shall no longer be required, such Shares and Warrants shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form: 
  
 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO 







 THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL NO LONGER BE REQUIRED. 
  
 (c) Filings. The Company undertakes and agrees that it will make all
required filings in connection with the sale of such Shares and Warrants to the Purchasers, as required by United States laws and regulations, or by any domestic securities exchange or trading market, and if applicable, the filing of a notice on
Form D (at such time and in such manner as required by the Rules and Regulations of the Commission), and to provide copies thereof to the Purchasers promptly after such filing or filings. 
  
 (d) NASDAQ Listing. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to promptly secure the listing of the Shares, and the
Shares underlying the Warrants upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed. The Company further agrees and covenants that it will not seek to have the trading of its Common

otherwise cause such trading to resume. 
  
 (e) Reporting
Status. The Company shall timely file, or timely obtain extensions of time to file, all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required
to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. 
  
 (f) State Securities Filings. The Company shall from time to time promptly take such action as either the Purchasers or any of their
representatives, if applicable, may reasonably request to qualify the Shares, and the Shares underlying the Warrants, if applicable, for offering and sale under the securities laws (other than United States federal securities laws) of the
jurisdictions in the United States as shall be so identified to the Company, and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales therein, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do
business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this subsection (f) be obligated to be so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction. 
  
 5.    TRANSFER
AGENT INSTRUCTIONS 
  
 The Company warrants that no
instruction, other than the instructions referred to in this Section 5, prior to the registration and sale under the Securities Act of the Common Stock will be given by the Company to its transfer agent in respect of the Shares and that the Shares
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and applicable law. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the
Purchasers’ obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Shares. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel that








 registration of a resale by the Purchaser of any of the Shares in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not
required under the Securities Act, the Company shall permit the transfer of the Shares and promptly instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such names and in such denominations
as specified by the Purchaser.

 8.    INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 (a) Indemnification of Purchasers by the Company. 
  
 The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers, their affiliates and their respective
officers, managers, members, directors, partners, shareholders, employees and members (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, penalties, liabilities and deficiencies
(collectively, “Losses”), and agrees to reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees and to the extent
arising out of or in connection with: 
  

	 	(i)	 	a material misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or
exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 	a material failure by the Company to perform any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or
any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 

  
 (b) Indemnification of the Company by Purchasers. 
  
 Each of the Purchasers hereby severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
partners and members (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal
counsel), to the extent arising out of or in connection with any breach of any of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or
certificate entered into or delivered by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Third Party Claims. 
  
 Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which
indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and
forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In 







 connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the
defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such
fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate
due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified
Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time
after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne
exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal counsel for the Indemnified
Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry
of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate payments for indemnification (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
legal counsel) made by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9 with respect to any Loss, Claim, or series of Losses or Claims, shall not exceed the Purchase Price. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding Section 13(b) of this Agreement, the indemnification described in Section 9 shall be the sole and
exclusive remedy for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty, condition, or covenant made in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents. 
  

9.    EXPENSES 
  
 (a) The Company covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) all expenses in connection with
registration or qualification of the Shares and the shares underlying the Warrants, for offering and sale under federal securities laws, and state securities laws; and (ii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section, including the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other professional advisors, if any. 







 (b) Other than as set forth in Section 10(a) above, each of the parties hereto agree that they shall each
be responsible for and pay their own expenses and fees, including all legal, accounting and other professional fees, associated with the transactions contemplated by Transaction Documents. 
  
 10.    SURVIVAL 
  
 The representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers shall
survive the Closing for a period of one year and thereafter shall be of no force or effect. The agreements and covenants of the Company and the Purchasers, including indemnification obligations under Section 9, shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the delivery of the Shares hereunder until the Company has satisfied in full its obligations under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that, any claim for indemnification for a breach of a
representation or warranty must be made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. 
  
 11.    MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of laws issues. Each of the
parties submits to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objections based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions. 
  
 (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be
signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. 
  
 (c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 12.    NON-DISCLOSURE. 
  
 (a) The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company is a publicly-listed company and, as such, is subject to strict regulation governing the disclosure of information relating to corporate transactions. Except as required by law, without the
prior written consent of the Company, the Purchasers will not directly or indirectly, make any public comment, statement or communication to any individual or entity with respect to, or otherwise disclose the existence of discussions regarding a
possible transaction between the parties or any of the terms, conditions, or other aspects of this Agreement until such time as the transaction is completed, or any confidential information provided by the Company to the Purchasers. Further, the
Purchasers acknowledge that they may not trade in the securities of the Company when they are in possession of material, non-public information and that they agree that they will not do so. The Purchasers will not use any confidential information
provided by Company to the Purchasers for any purpose other than evaluating an investment by the Purchasers in the Shares. Confidential 







 Information shall include all non-public information provided by the Company to the Purchasers, but shall not include
information that (a) is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no wrongful act or omission of the Purchasers, (b) the Purchasers can demonstrate to have had rightfully in their possession prior to disclosure to the
Purchasers by the Company, and (c) the Purchasers rightfully obtain from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose it. If the Purchasers are required by law, based on an opinion provided by the Purchasers’ counsel, to make any
such disclosure, they shall first provide to the Company the content of the proposed disclosure, the reasons that such disclosure is required by law, and the time and place that the disclosure will be made. 
  
 (b) The Company and the Purchasers each recognize that in the event that any
party fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Section 13, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the aggrieved party. The Company and the Purchasers therefore agree that an aggrieved party
under this Section 13, if such party so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Investment Agreement has been duly executed by each of the undersigned.
