Adverse Effect.

                                  ARTICLE IV

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
               ------------------------------------------------

          Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants, severally and
not jointly, to the Company as follows:

          IV.1  Existence and Power.  Such Purchaser (a) is duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and (b) has
the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements to
which it is a party.

          IV.2  Authorization; No Contravention.  The execution, delivery and
performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (b)
do not contravene the terms of such Purchaser's organizational documents, or any
amendment thereof, and (c) do not violate, conflict with or result in any breach
or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any Contractual
Obligation of such Purchaser or any Requirement of Law applicable to such
Purchaser, and (d) do not violate any Orders of any Governmental Authority
against, or binding upon, such Purchaser.

          IV.3  Governmental Authorization; Third Party Consents.  No approval,
consent, compliance, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to,
or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, and no lapse of
a waiting period under any Requirement of Law, is necessary or required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance (including, without
limitation, the purchase of the Purchased Shares and the Warrants) by, or
enforcement against, such Purchaser of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Agreements to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby.

          IV.4  Binding Effect.  This Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Agreements to which it is a party have been duly executed and
delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by
equitable principles relating to enforceability (regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

          IV.5  Purchase for Own Account.  The shares of Series D Preferred
Stock and the Warrants to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement and any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion or exercise of
the shares of Series D Preferred Stock or the Warrants or as a result of the
ownership thereof are being or will be acquired for investment for its own
account and with no intention of distributing, transferring,
<PAGE>

                                                                              14

assigning or reselling or otherwise disposing thereof or any part thereof in any
transaction that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United
States of America, or any state, without prejudice, however, to the rights of
such Purchaser at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
such Securities under an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities
Act, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of such Purchaser's property
being at all times within its control. If such Purchaser should in the future
decide to dispose of any of the Securities, such Purchaser understands and
agrees that it may do so only once it reasonably satisfies the Company that such
transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, as then in effect. Such Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so
long as required by law, of a legend on certificates representing all of the
Securities to the following effect:

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR RECEIVABLE UPON THE
     EXERCISE OR CONVERSION THEREOF OR AS A RESULT OF THE OWNERSHIP HEREOF  HAVE
     NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
     "ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
     TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
     SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE
     EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS."

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A
     STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL PURCHASERS OF THE
     SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.  TRANSFEREES OF SUCH SECURITIES SHOULD
     REVIEW SUCH AGREEMENT TO DETERMINE THEIR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS."

          IV.6  Restricted Securities.  Such Purchaser understands that the
Securities are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and will not be
registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason
that the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act and that the reliance of the Company on such exemption is
predicated in part on such Purchaser's representations set forth herein and on
such Purchaser's agreement to comply with Section 17 of the Warrant, and that
such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only
in certain limited circumstances defined therein.  Such Purchaser represents
that it is reasonably familiar with such resale restrictions in the Securities
Act, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder, and the other applicable federal and state
rules and regulations.

          IV.7  Broker's, Finder's or Similar Fees.  There are no brokerage
commissions, finder's fees or similar fees or commissions payable by such
Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based on any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with such Purchaser or any action taken
by such Purchaser.

          IV.8  Accredited Investor.   Such Purchaser is an "Accredited
Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities
Act, as presently in effect.

          IV.9  Disclosure of Information.  Such Purchaser has carefully
reviewed the representations and warranties concerning the Company contained in
this Agreement and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of
the Securities and the business, assets, prospects and financial condition of
the Company.

          IV.10  Investment Experience.  Such Purchaser is, or has been, an
investor in securities of companies similar to the Company and has or is
represented by one who has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that it is capable of evaluation of the merits and risks of an
investment in the Securities.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                INDEMNIFICATION
                                ---------------

          VII.1  Indemnification.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Article VII, the Company (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and its Affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and
controlling persons (each, an "Indemnified Party") to the fullest extent
permitted by law from and against any and all losses, actions, suits,
proceedings, claims, complaints, disputes, arbitrations or investigations
(collectively, "Claims" or written threats thereof (including, without
limitation, any Claim by a third party), damages, expenses (including reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified
Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or
between the Indemnified Party and any third party) or other liabilities
(collectively, "Losses") resulting from or arising out of any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article VII to an Indemnified
Party to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such Losses
resulted or arose from the breach by such Indemnified Party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such Indemnified Party
contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party; and provided further,
that if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any
reason, the Indemnifying Party shall make
<PAGE>

                                                                              18

the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Losses which
shall be permissible under applicable laws. The amount of any payment to any
Indemnified Party herewith in respect of any Loss shall be of sufficient amount
to make such Indemnified Party whole. In connection with the obligation of the
Indemnifying Party to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, the
Indemnifying Party shall, upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing
reasonable detail, reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses
(including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred
by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party) as they
are incurred by such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if an
Indemnified Party is reimbursed under this Article VII for any expenses, such
reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally
judicially determined that the Losses in question resulted primarily from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party.

          VII.2  Notification.  Each Indemnified Party under this Article VII
shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Claim
against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from
the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing of the commencement thereof.  The omission of any Indemnified Party to
so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified
Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article VII or (b) under this Article VII
unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying
Party's forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.  In case any such Claim
shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided,
however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate
counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in any Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand,
and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to
become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to control its own defense of such Claim if, in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict
exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation
advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified
Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all of such fees
and expenses of such counsel incurred in any action between the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Parties or between the Indemnified Parties and any
third party, as such expenses are incurred.  The Indemnifying Party agrees that
it will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, settle,
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened
Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a
party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless
such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such
Claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
Claim effected against an
<PAGE>

                                                                              19

Indemnified Party without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder
shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common
law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing
in this Article VII shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified
Party may have to seek equitable relief.

          VII.3  Limitation on Indemnification.  Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, no payment shall be made to an Indemnified Party
pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement until the amounts which the Purchasers
would otherwise be entitled to receive as indemnification under this Agreement
aggregate at least $115,000, at which time the Purchaser shall be entitled to
receive any such payments and any subsequent payments in full.  Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of the Company under
this Article shall in no event exceed the total purchase price paid for the
Purchased Shares and the Warrants received by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement.


                                 ARTICLE VIII

                             AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
