distribution or resale thereof, subject, nevertheless, to the condition that the
disposition of the property of each Purchaser shall at all times be within its
control. Each Purchaser which is not an individual further represents and

thereunder and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment to

risks involved in such an investment. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that
it has had a full opportunity to request from the Company and to review all
information which it deems relevant in making a decision to purchase the
Purchased Shares being purchased by it hereunder. Each Purchaser understands and
agrees that (i) the Purchased Shares and the Conversion Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, (ii) the Purchased Shares
and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless a registration
statement covering such shares is effective under the Securities Act or unless

make a notation on its transfer books to such effect.

              (b) The principal office or residence of each Purchaser, and the
place at which the decision to participate in this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby was made, is located at the address appearing
below such Purchaser's name on Exhibit 2.01A hereto.

              (c) Each Purchaser represents and warrants that this Agreement and
all transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on its part and that this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by it or on its behalf and is a valid and binding agreement
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

              (d) Each Purchaser represents that no person, firm or corporation,
has or will have, as a result of any act or omission by such Purchaser, any
right, interest or valid claim against the Company for any commission, fee or
other compensation as a finder or broker, or in any similar capacity, in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

              (e) If any Purchaser sells any Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule
144A promulgated under the Securities Act, the Purchaser will take all necessary
steps in order to perfect the exemption from registration provided thereby,
including (i) obtaining on behalf of the Company information to enable the
Company to establish a reasonable belief that the purchaser is a qualified
institutional buyer and (ii) advising such purchaser that Rule 144A is being
relied upon with respect to such resale.

                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants as follows:

         4.01 Organization and Standing of the Company. The Company is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority for
the ownership and operation of its properties and for the carrying on of its
business as now conducted and as now proposed to be conducted. The Company is
duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation
authorized to do business in Massachusetts and in each other jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business transacted by it or the character of the
properties owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualification.
unless the failure to so qualify does not and will not have a material and
adverse effect on the business operations or financial condition of the Company.

         4.02 Corporate Action. The Company has all necessary corporate power
and has taken all corporate action required to make this Agreement, the
Purchased Shares and any other agreements and instruments executed in connection
herewith and therewith, the valid and enforceable obligations of the Company.
Sufficient shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Company have
been reserved by appropriate corporate action in connection with the prospective
conversion of the Purchased Shares. The issuance of the Purchased Shares, and
the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Purchased
Shares, are not subject to preemptive or other preferential rights, or similar
statutory or contractual rights, either arising pursuant to any agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or which are otherwise binding upon
the Company.

         4.03 Governmental Approvals. All authorizations, consents, approvals,
licenses, exemptions from or filings, or registrations with any court or
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign, necessary for, or in connection with, the offer, issuance,
sale, execution or delivery by the Company, or for the performance by it of its
obligations under, this Agreement, the agreements referred to in Article


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

III hereof or the Purchased Shares shall have been made prior to, and shall be
effective as of, the Closing.

         4.04 Litigation. Except as set forth in Exhibit 4.04, there is no
litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending or threatened
against the Company affecting any of its properties or assets, or, to the
knowledge of the Company, after due inquiry, against any officer, Key Employee
or Founder of the Company that might foreseeably result, either in any case or
in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the business, prospects,
operations, affairs or condition of the Company, or any of its properties or
assets, or that questions the validity of this Agreement, the Purchased Shares,
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. To the best of
the Company's knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis for any such
litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation that might result,
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the
business, properties, assets, financial condition, affairs or prospects of the
Company. Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, after due
inquiry, any officer, Key Employee or Founder of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree,
ruling or decision of any court, commission, board or other government agency
that might foreseeably result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the business, operations, prospects, affairs or
condition of the Company or any of its properties or assets. The foregoing
sentences include, without limiting their generality, actions pending or
threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior
employment of employees of the Company and the use in any of the Company's
business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their
former employers.

         4.05 Certain Agreements of Officers and Employees.

              (a) To the best of the Company's knowledge and belief, after due
inquiry, no employee of the Company is, or is now expected to be, in violation
of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant relating to the right of any such employee to be employed by the
Company because of the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by
the Company or as a result of the use of trade secrets or proprietary
information of others, and to the best of the Company's knowledge and belief,
the continued employment of the Company's employees does not subject the Company
or the Purchasers to any liability with respect to the foregoing.

              (b) To the best of the knowledge of the officers of the Company,
after due inquiry, no officer of the Company, nor any Key Employee of the
Company whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a
material adverse effect on the Company, has any present intention of terminating
his employment with the Company.

              (c) The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining
agreement and, to the best of its knowledge, after due inquiry, there have been
no pending labor problems involving collective disputes or disturbances with any
group of employees and there have been no attempts to organize its employees by
any union or similar association.

all respects with the terms and provisions of this Agreement which it is
required to be in compliance with as of the date hereof, and of the Charter and
By-laws, as amended, and in all material respects with the terms and provisions
of each mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement and other instrument relating to
obligations of the Company, and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, of all
judgments, decrees, governmental orders, statutes, rules or regulations by which
it is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject. Neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Purchased Shares, nor the
consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, has constituted
or resulted in or will constitute or result in a default or violation of any
term or provision in any of the foregoing documents or instruments.

         4.07 Federal Reserve Regulations. The Company is not engaged in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin
securities (within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of the Purchased Shares
will be used to purchase or carry any margin security or to extend credit to
others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or in any
other manner which would involve a violation of any of the regulations of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

         4.08 Title to Assets. The Company has good and marketable title in fee
to such of its fixed assets as are real property, and good title to all of its
other assets now carried on its books, including those reflected in the most
recent balance sheet of the Company which forms a part of Exhibit 4.10A attached
hereto, or acquired since the date of such balance sheet (except personal

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         6.01 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of
any Purchaser, or any other holder of the Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares
in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

         6.02 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Changes in or additions to this
Agreement may be made, and compliance with any covenant or provision herein or
therein set forth may be omitted or waived, upon the mutual written consent of
the Company and Persons holding an aggregate of at least sixty (60%) percent of
the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, voting as a single class (treating
for this purpose all Preferred Stock as if converted to Common Stock) and shall,
in each such case, deliver copies of such consent in writing to any holders who
did not execute the same; provided, however, that no such consent shall be
effective to reduce the percentage of the consent of the holders of the
Preferred Stock which is required under this Section nor to affect or alter any
other Person's rights under Section 5.01(i) and 5.03 hereof without their
consent (so long as they hold any Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock). Any
waiver or consent may be given subject to satisfaction of conditions stated
therein and any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
