                              By: _________________________

1.   Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
     ------------
Investor irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the Shares and the A
Warrants (collectively, the "Securities"), described in Section A above for the
purchase price set forth in such Section.

2.   Acceptance of Subscription.
     --------------------------

This Subscription is made subject to the following terms and conditions:

a. This subscription shall be deemed accepted by the Company upon execution by
the Company of the cover page of this Subscription Agreement.

b. Upon the sale by the Company to the Investor of the Securities, the Investor
will receive a copy of this Subscription Agreement executed by an officer on
behalf of the Company.

3.   Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor understands
     ----------------------------------------------
and acknowledges that (a) the Shares are being offered and sold under one or
more of the exemptions from registration provided for in Section 4(2) or Section
3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the
"Securities Act"), including Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and any
applicable state securities laws, (b) he or it is purchasing the Shares without
being offered or furnished any offering literature or prospectus other than the
reports filed by the Company from time to time with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998, and the Company's quarterly reports on Form
10-Q for the quarters and three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 and
June 30, 1999, respectively (collectively, the "Reports"), and (c) this
transaction has not been reviewed or approved by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission or by any regulatory authority charged with the
administration of the securities laws of any state or foreign country. The
Investor also represents and warrants as follows:

3.1. Citizenship, Age and Residence. He or it is at least 21 years of age, and
     ------------------------------
is a bona fide resident and domiciliary (not a temporary or transient resident)
of the State or Country and at the address described in Section B and has no
present intention of becoming a resident of any other State or other
jurisdiction.

3.2. Suitability. The Investor understands and has fully considered for purposes
     -----------
of this investment the risks of this investment and understands that (i) this
investment is suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic
consequences of losing his or her entire investment, (ii) the purchase of the
Shares and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant
Shares") is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of
loss by the Investor of his or its entire investment, and (iii) there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Shares and the Warrant
Shares. Furthermore, the Investor represents that he or it has sufficient liquid
assets so that the lack of liquidity associated with this investment will not
cause any undue financial difficulties or affect the ability of the Investor to
provide for his or its current needs and possible financial contingencies.

3.3. Access to Information. The Investor, in making his decision to purchase the
     ---------------------
Securities, has relied solely upon the Investor's independent investigations and
has, if requested, been given (i) access to all material information of the
Company; (ii) access to all material contracts and documents relating to the
transaction described herein; and (iii) an opportunity to ask questions of, and
to receive answers from, the appropriate executive officers and other persons
acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Company and its prospects and the
terms and conditions of this offering, and to obtain any additional information,
to the extent such persons possess such information or can acquire it without
unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the
information set forth in the Reports. The Investor acknowledges that no valid
request to the Company by the Investor for information of any kind about the
Company has been refused or denied by the Company or remains unfulfilled as of
the date of this Agreement.

3.4. Investment Intent. The Shares, and upon their exercise, the Warrant Shares,
     -----------------
are being or will be acquired by the Investor solely for the Investor's own
personal account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in
connection with, any resale or distribution of the Shares or the Warrant Shares;
the Investor has no contract,

                                      34
<PAGE>

undertaking, understanding, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with
any person to sell, transfer or pledge to any person any of the Shares or the
Warrant Shares or any interest or rights in any of the Shares or the Warrant
Shares; the Investor has no present plans to enter into any such obligation; and
the Investor understands the legal consequences of the representations and
warranties made by him or her in this Agreement to mean that he or she must bear
the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because
neither the Shares nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be
sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws (which the Company is not obligated, and has no
current intention, to do) or unless an exemption from such registration becomes
available.

          3.5.  Additional Representations. (a) the Investor certifies that it
                --------------------------
is not a natural person resident of the United States, partnership or
corporation organized in the United States, or trust of which the trustee is a
natural person resident of the United States (each of the foregoing, a "U.S.
Person"), and certifies further that it is not acquiring the Shares or the
Warrant Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person or is a U.S. Person
who purchased securities in a transaction that did not require registration
under the Act;

                      (b) the Investor agrees to resell the Shares or the
Warrant Shares only in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation S
promulgated under the Act, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant
to an available exemption from registration;

                      (c) the Investor acknowledges that certificates evidencing
the Shares and the Warrant Shares acquired by such Investor shall contain a
legend to the effect that transfer is prohibited except in accordance with the
provisions of said Regulation S.

          3.6.  No Brokers. The Investor has not engaged any broker, dealer,
                ----------
finder, commission agent or other similar person in connection with the offer,
offer for sale, or sale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares and is not under any
obligation to pay any broker's fee or commission in connection with his
investment.

3.7. Review of Reports. The Investor has carefully read the Reports. In
     -----------------
evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Investor has not
relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written)
other than as set forth in the Reports or as contained in any documents or
answers to questions furnished by the Company.

3.8. Sophistication of Investor. The Investor either (i) has a preexisting
     --------------------------
personal or business relationship with the Company or its controlling persons,
such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the character
and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or its
controlling persons, or (ii) by reason of his or her business or financial
experience, individually or in conjunction with his or her unaffiliated
professional advisors, the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Shares and the Warrant Shares, making an informed
investment decision and protecting his or her own interests.

3.09. Accuracy of Information. All of the information set forth on the cover
      -----------------------
page of this Agreement, including without limitation the Accredited Investor
Status indicated as applicable to the Investor, is true and correct in all
respects.

3.11. Securities Act Compliance. The Investor understands that the easiest way
      -------------------------
to sell its Shares in the future would be to sell in an underwritten public
offering of the Company's securities (as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement among the Investor, certain other investors and the Company) or to a
purchaser of the entire Company or its business. In the absence of a public
offering or such a sale, however, the Investor may sell his or its Shares or
Warrant Shares in compliance with various private sale exemptions under
applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the Investor understands that neither
the Shares nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act,
by reason of a specific exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act
which depends in part upon the investment intent and the representations and
warranties of the Investor made in this Agreement. The

                                      35
<PAGE>

Investor further understands that the Company may place certain legends on the
certificate(s) for the Shares and the Warrant Shares as required by applicable
laws, including a legend in form substantially as follows:

             The securities represented by this certificate have not been
             registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
             "Act"), or applicable state securities laws and none of such
             securities, nor any interest therein, may be sold, transferred,
             assigned, made the subject of any security interest, or otherwise
             disposed of, without an effective registration statement for such
             securities under the Act and applicable state securities laws, or
             an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the
             Company that registration is not required under the Act or such
             state securities laws.

         4.   Miscellaneous.
              -------------

4.1. Notices. All notices or other communications given or made hereunder shall

     ----------

such fact to the Company, specifying which representations and warranties and
acknowledgements are not true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

   ---------------
   of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3, and agrees to
   indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers or any of its
   directors, affiliates, controlling shareholders, counsel, agents, or
