The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

     5.1 AUTHORIZATION

The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations
under such Transaction Documents. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the performance by the
Purchaser of its obligations under such Transaction Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on its part, and no other proceedings on its
part are necessary to authorize its execution and delivery of such Transaction
Documents or its performance of its obligations under such Transaction
Documents.

     5.2 DUE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY; BINDING OBLIGATIONS

Each Transaction Document to which the Purchaser is a party has been duly
executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and each such Transaction Document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar laws relating to or
limiting creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability and except as rights of indemnity or contribution may be limited
by federal or state securities or other laws or the public policy underlying
such laws.

     5.3 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS

The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of each Transaction Document to
which it is a party, and the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations
under each such Transaction Document, do not and will not require any consent,
approval, license, permit, order or authorization of, or any registration,
declaration or filing with, any Person (including any governmental agency,
entity or authority), except for such as have been obtained or made and are in
full force and effect.

     5.4 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS

Solely for establishing that the offer, sale and issuance of the Purchased
Shares being purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the comparable
provisions of state securities laws and not in any way to mitigate the
responsibility or liability of the Company for any breach of the representations
and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, on which the Purchaser is
relying in full in connection with its, his or her decision to invest in the
Company:


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     (A) The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares to be purchased by it
under this Agreement, for its own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws.

     (B) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws by
reason of their issuance by the Company in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is based in part on
the representations of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and that each
such security must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof
is registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or
is exempt from registration.

     (C) The Purchaser further understands that the exemption from registration
under the Securities Act afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known
to the Purchaser) depends on the satisfaction of various conditions and that, if
applicable, Rule 144 affords the basis for sales of only limited amounts and
under limited circumstances.

     (D) The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of the Company's
officers and directors about the business and financial condition of the Company
and its subsidiaries, understands that its purchase of the Purchased Shares
being purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement are speculative investments
which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the entire investment therein;
and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it
is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of its investment in such
Purchased Shares.

     (E) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

     (F) The Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

     (G) The principal office of the Purchaser is located at the address listed
on the signature page hereto, and substantially all of the decisions of the
Purchaser with respect to its investment pursuant to this Agreement were made at
such location.

6.   SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS

Notwithstanding any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any party
to this Agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Company and the Purchaser in this Agreement and in any of the other
Transaction Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the issuance and delivery to the Purchaser of the Purchased Shares.

7.   INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1  INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER INDEMNITEES

The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and its respective
officers, directors, partners, managing directors, affiliates, employees,

of the representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or in
any of the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any breach of any of the
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in any of the
other Transaction Documents. Such right of indemnification shall be in addition
to and not in lieu of any and all other rights and remedies available to the
Purchaser at law or in equity.

     For purposes of this Agreement, "Losses" shall mean and include each and
all of the following items: claims, actions, demands, losses (including losses

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
     INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR
     ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
     IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID

the legends set forth in Section 8.1 unless (i) in the opinion of such counsel,
registration of future transfer is not required by the applicable provisions of
the Securities Act or (ii) the Company shall have waived the requirement of such
legends; provided, however, that such legend shall not be required on any
certificate or other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon such
transfer in the event such transfer shall be made in compliance with the
requirements of Rule 144.


                                      -13-

<PAGE>

     (C) Upon surrender by the Purchaser to the Company of any certificate,
representing Purchased Shares, the Company at its expense will, within five
business days, issue in exchange therefor, and deliver to the Purchaser, a new

denominations as may be requested by such Purchaser. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
certificate representing any Purchased Shares purchased or acquired by the
Purchaser hereunder, and in case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
delivery of any indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Company, or in any case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate, the
Company at its expense will, within five business days, issue and deliver to the
Purchaser a new certificate or other instrument for such Purchased Shares of
like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

     8.3 TRANSFER PURSUANT TO RULE 144

     9.3  (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.)

10.  EXPENSES

12.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     12.1 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings, negotiations,
agreements or representations by or among such parties, written or oral, that
may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof, including
any letter of intent or term sheet dated as of or prior to the date hereof,
between the Company and one or more of the Purchaser (or their affiliates).

     12.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES

The Company will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, execute any and all
further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions
that may be required under any applicable law, or which the Purchaser may
reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, all at the expense of the Company.

     12.3 FURTHER ASSURANCES

     (A) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns
of such party, and all covenants and agreements by or on behalf of the Company
or the Purchaser which are contained in this Agreement or in any of the other
Transaction Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
heirs, successors, and permitted assigns, except that the Company shall not
assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Purchaser.

     (B) The Purchaser shall have the right, without the consent of the Company
but subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to assign, all
or part of, the securities acquired by it hereunder and assign, all or part of,
its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents.

     12.4 COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Counterparts
transmitted by facsimile may be treated as an original instrument and relied
upon for all purposes as such.

     12.5 GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

     (A) All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal law of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to any choice
or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of Ohio or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Ohio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law
of the


                                      -16-

<PAGE>

State of Ohio will control the interpretation and construction of this
Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law
analysis, the internal law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or
necessarily apply.

     (B) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN
ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION
OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS
RELATED HERETO.

     (C) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any
court of the State of Ohio or federal court of the United States of America
sitting in the State of Ohio, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court of the
State of Ohio or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

     (D) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court of the
State of Ohio or federal court sitting in the State of Ohio. Each of the parties
hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

     12.6 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS

     (A) No failure or delay of the Purchaser in exercising any power or right
in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver
hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise of any other right or power. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
consent to any departure by the Company therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be authorized as provided for in Section
12.6(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Company
in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances.


                                      -17-

<PAGE>

     (B) Except as provided in Section 12.3, neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written
instrument which specifically references this Agreement which has been signed by
the party against whom such waiver, amendment or modification is sought to be
enforced or such party's authorized officer or representative.

     12.7 INCORPORATION OF SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS

The annexes, schedules and exhibits identified in this Agreement are

with all annexes, schedules and exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to
time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms
hereof. Accounting terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings given to them under GAAP. The use in this Agreement of the term
"including" means "including, without limitation." The words "herein," "hereof,"
"hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a
whole, including its annexes, schedules and exhibits, as the same may from time
to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any
particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in
this Agreement. All references to sections, annexes, schedules and exhibits mean
the sections of this Agreement and the annexes, schedules and exhibits attached
to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The title of and the section
and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or
neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may
require or permit. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a
general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed
to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general
statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement has been
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict
construction shall be applied against any party. All references to payment
amounts herein are United States dollar amounts, and all payments hereunder
shall be made in United States dollars. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the
measure of a period of one month or year for purposes of this Agreement shall be
that date of the following month or year corresponding to the starting date,
provided that if no corresponding date exists, the measure shall be that date of
the following month or year corresponding to the next day following the starting
date. For example, one month following February 18 is March 18, and one month
following March 31 is May 1.

     12.9 NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP

No provision in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document and no
course of dealing among the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any
fiduciary duty by the Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates to the
Company or its directors, officers, employees, stockholders or affiliates.


                                      -18-

     12.10 SEVERABILITY

It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement
be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies
applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any
particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any
reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
