          3.2  Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
               ---------------------------------
such Purchaser in reliance upon such Purchaser's representation to the Company,
which by such Purchaser's execution of this Agreement such Purchaser hereby
confirms, that the Series D Preferred Stock to be received by such Purchaser and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Purchaser'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 such Purchaser has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing

               ---------------------

Voting Agreement and:

               (a)  There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in

proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company, if reasonably
requested by the Company, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to

counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual
circumstances.

partner of such partnership or affiliated partnership who retires after the date
hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer
by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her

agrees to provide each SBIC Purchaser with sufficient information to permit each
such Purchaser to comply with its obligations under the Small Business
Investment Act; provided however, each SBIC Purchaser agrees that it will
protect any information which the Company labels as confidential. Within 90 days
following each Closing and within 90 days after the end of each calendar year

               ---------------
proceeds from each SBIC Purchaser for working capital purposes or to otherwise
finance the anticipated growth of the Company, and not for any purpose for which
a small business concern is prohibited from providing funds pursuant to 13 CFR
Part 107.720. If the Company shall, without the consent of each SBIC Purchaser,
use the proceeds from the securities purchased hereunder for a purpose not

               -----------------

          7.5  Qualified Small Business Stock. The Company covenants that so
               ------------------------------

shares are converted, are held by a SBIC Purchaser (or a transferee in whose
hands such Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock are eligible to qualify as
Qualified Small Business Stock as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code), it
will use its reasonable efforts (including complying with any

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

applicable filing or reporting requirements imposed by the Code on issuers of
Qualified Small Business Stock) to cause the Series D Preferred Stock or the
Common Stock into which such shares are converted, to qualify as Qualified Small
Business Stock; provided, however, that "reasonable efforts" as used in this
Section 7.5 shall not be construed to require the Company to operate its
business in a manner which would adversely affect its business, limit its future
prospects or alter the timing or resource allocation related to its planned
operations or financing activities.

     8.   Finder's Fee.  Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and to hold
          ------------
harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in
the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against
such liability or asserted liability) for which such Purchaser or any of its
