<PAGE>

Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be

liquidation, conservatorship, receivership, or similar laws relating to, or

defined below) during a Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company shall notify the
Purchaser of the material terms of such Other Financing (the "Other Financing
                                                              ---------------

Amount Requested and the Call Option Amounts Requested by the Company for such
Draw Down Pricing Period at (i) the Purchaser's price as provided in this
Agreement, (ii) the Third Party's Price (as defined below) or (iii) the

after taking into account  any other securities issued in conjunction with such

Pricing Periods, the Purchaser shall have the option, which option shall be
exercised no later than five (5) Trading Days after receipt by the Purchaser of
the Other Financing Notice, to purchase up to the Draw Down Amount that would be
applicable under this Agreement based on the gross price per share to be paid
for the Common Stock in the Other Financing on the same terms and conditions
contemplated in the Other Financing, net of such third party's discount and
fees, or, if the applicable share price is below the Minimum Threshold Price, up
to 20% of the aggregate total amount to be raised by the Company in the Other
Financing. If the Purchaser does not exercise its purchase option in writing
before 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Trading Day after its receipt of
the Other Financing Notice, the Company shall have the right to close the Other
Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party, provided that all of

of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or for
additional information; (ii) of the Company's receipt of notice of the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Shares for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for
such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any
event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue or which
requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material
fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or
supplement the Registration Statement (as then amended or supplemented) to
comply with the Securities Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission

Statement, the Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

in Section 4.11 hereof, the Company will not file any amendment to the
Registration Statement that relates to the Purchaser, this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or make any amendment or supplement to the

                                      17
<PAGE>

transactions contemplated hereby of which, in either case, the Purchaser
shall not previously have been advised or to which the Purchaser shall
reasonably object after being so advised within forty-eight (48) hours of
receipt of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus.  In addition, for so
long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Purchaser and counsel for
the Company, a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with any
purchase of Shares by the Purchaser, the Company will not file any Prospectus or
Prospectus supplement with respect to the Shares without delivering a copy of
such Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, to the Purchaser promptly following
such filing.  It is understood that the Company may file amendments to the
Registration Statement and make amendments and supplements to the Prospectus in
connection with offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement to parties
other than the Purchaser, and that such amendments and supplements shall not be
covered by the first two (2) sentences of this Section 4.10.

copies of each form of Prospectus and Prospectus supplement on each Settlement
Date. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or
supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and
with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares
may be sold by the Purchaser, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Shares and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by
the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares. If
during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the
Company and its counsel or in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser is
required to be set forth in the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) or
should be set forth therein in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it
is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities
Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company will forthwith

appropriate supplement or amendment to such Prospectus, and will expeditiously
furnish to the Purchaser a reasonable number of copies thereof.

covenants that prior to and during the term of the Investment Period, neither
the Purchaser nor any affiliates of the Purchaser nor any entity managed by the
Purchaser will sell shares of the Company's Common Stock other than shares that

<PAGE>

after the expiration of the Investment Period and (ii) such time as Acqua
Wellington is no longer required to deliver a prospectus with respect to the
Shares.

     Section 4.15   Disclosure of Draw Down Notice. Other than disclosure in a
                    ------------------------------
Prospectus Supplement, press release or filing under the Securities Act or
Exchange Act of the number of Shares sold to the Purchaser and the purchase
price, the Company shall not disclose any Draw Down Notice or any information
contained in any Draw Down Notice (other than to its legal and accounting
advisors) unless such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule or court

                    -------------
shall use Joseph Grace Holdings, Inc.as its broker-dealer to effectuate all
sales, if any, of shares of Common Stock that the Purchaser will purchase from
the Company pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Purchaser desires
to use a different broker-dealer, the Purchaser shall notify the Company, and
the Purchaser shall not use such new broker-dealer until the Company has filed
with the Commission and the Commission shall have declared effective an
appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement to disclose such broker-
dealer's participation. No broker-dealer used by the Purchaser to effectuate
sales of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement will be an
affiliate of the Purchaser, and the commission received by any such broker-
dealer from the Purchaser will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

day shall be deemed an "Unallocated Day". For each Unallocated Day during the
                        ---------------
Draw Down Pricing Period the Purchaser may, at its option, purchase a Pro-Rata
Amount of the Draw Down Amount at the previous Trading Day's VWAP. For each
Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period that the VWAP is below the
Threshold Price, the Purchaser may elect in its sole discretion to purchase the
Common Stock at the Threshold Price multiplied by the applicable percentage set
forth in Section 6.1(k) at the end of such Draw Down Pricing Period. The
Purchaser will inform the Company via facsimile transmission no later than 8:00
p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of such Draw Down Pricing Period as
to the number of Shares, if any, the Purchaser chooses to purchase under such
circumstances.

    (j)  As a condition to exercise of any Draw Down, the Company must provide a
notice to the Purchaser of the Company's exercise of any Draw Down via facsimile
transmission before the first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period
covered by such

                                      23
<PAGE>

notice (the "Draw Down Notice"), substantially in the form attached hereto as
             ----------------
Exhibit E. The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested,
set the Threshold Price for such Draw Down and Call Option, designate the first
Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period and specify the Call Option(s), if
any, that the Company wishes to grant to the Purchaser during the Draw Down
Pricing Period. If the Company wishes the date of the Draw Down notice to be the
first Trading Day of the Draw Down Pricing Period, such notice must be delivered
to the Purchaser and such receipt confirmed, before 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on
such Trading Day.

    (k)  With respect to any Draw Down, if the Threshold Price for the Draw Down
Amount as set forth in the Draw Down Notice is equal to or greater than $3.00
and less than $4.00, the Draw Down Discount Price shall be 94.60% of the VWAP.
For any Threshold Price for the Draw Down Amount as set forth in the Draw Down
Notice above $3.00, the Draw Down Discount Price shall increase by 0.15%
incrementally for every $1.00 increase in the Threshold Price above $3.00, up to
a maximum Draw Down Discount Price of 97% of the VWAP.

    (l)  On each Settlement Date, the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased
by the Purchaser to the Purchaser or to The Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") on
                                                                       ---
the Purchaser's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system
("DWAC"), and upon receipt of the Shares, the Purchaser shall cause payment
  ----
therefor to be made to the account designated by the Company by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, provided that the Shares are received by the
Purchaser no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, or of next day available funds
if the Shares are received thereafter. In certain circumstances and as set forth
in Section 9.1(b), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares may result in
the payment of liquidated damages by the Company to the Purchaser.

    (m)  If during any Draw Down Pricing Period the Company reasonably believes
an event may occur which would result in or may require the suspension of the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement prior to the applicable Settlement
Date, including, without limitation, entering into an extraordinary transaction
in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the Company shall notify the
Purchaser before 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day (a "Truncate
                                                                  --------
Notice") and truncate the number of Trading Days in such Draw Down Pricing
------
Period (a "Truncated Pricing Period"). If the Company delivers the Truncate
Notice (i) before 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day, the last Trading
Day of such Truncated Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day preceding the
receipt of the Truncate Notice between, or (ii) between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
(New York time) on a Trading Day, then the last Trading Day of such Truncated
Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day on which the Truncate Notice was
received by the Purchaser.

     The Purchaser will purchase the Truncated Draw Down Allocation Amount for
each of the Trading Days in a Truncated Pricing Period, for an aggregate
purchase price determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(i).

     In addition, the Purchaser may, at its option, elect to purchase Shares in
an additional dollar amount equal to the product of the Draw Down Amount
requested in the applicable Draw

                                      24
<PAGE>

Down Notice, first multiplied by (x) a fraction, the numerator of which equals
one (1) and the denominator of which equals the number of Trading Days in such
Draw Down Pricing Period (such number of days being referred to herein as the
"Trading Day Number"), and next multiplied by (y) that number that is equal to
 -----------------
the Trading Day Number minus the number of Trading Days in the Truncated Pricing
Period. The price per share for such additional dollar amount shall equal the
aggregate of (i) the Truncated Draw Down Allocation Amounts, the total Call
Options exercised and any Below Threshold Amounts that the Purchaser has elected
to purchase during the 0Truncated Pricing Period divided by (ii) the number of
Shares to be purchased during such Truncated Pricing Period, excluding any
Shares purchased pursuant to this paragraph of Section 6.1(m).

     Upon receipt of the Truncate Notice, the Purchaser may (x) elect to
purchase the Common Stock at the Threshold Price for any Trading Day that the
VWAP was below the Threshold Price during the Truncated Pricing Period in
accordance with Section 6.1(h) hereof, (y) elect to purchase the Common Stock in
the additional amount as set forth in the preceding paragraph of this Section
6.1(m), and (z) elect to exercise any unexercised Call Options by issuing a Call
Option Notice to the Company, in each such case, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New
York time) on the first Trading Day after the end of the Truncated Pricing
Period.  The exercise price of the Call Option shall be the applicable
percentage set forth in Section 6.1(k) multiplied by the greater of (A) the VWAP
for the Common Stock on the day the Purchaser issues its Call Option Notice or
(B) the Threshold Price.

     (n)  The Settlement Date for any Truncated Pricing Period shall be the
second business day after the last Trading Day of the applicable Truncated
Pricing Period.

     Section 6.2   Purchaser's Call Option. Subject to the satisfaction of the
                   -----------------------
conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 6.3 below, the
parties agree as follows:

     (a)  The Company may, in its sole discretion, grant to the Purchaser the
right to exercise one (1) or more Call Options during each Draw Down Pricing
Period for a specified Call Option Amount Requested. The Call Option Amount
Requested and the Threshold Price shall be set forth in the Draw Down Notice.

     (b)  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with
each Call Option shall equal (i) the Call Option Amount divided by (ii) the
applicable percentage set forth in Section 6.1(j) multiplied by the greater of
(A) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the day the Purchaser issues its Call
Option Notice or (B) the Threshold Price.

     (c)  Each Call Option exercised shall be settled on the next Settlement
Date.

     (d)  The Threshold Price designated by the Company in its Draw Down Notice
shall apply to each Call Option.

     (e)  For each Call Option that the Purchaser exercises pursuant to this
Section 6.2, as a condition to such exercise the Purchaser must issue a Call
Option Notice (as defined in Section 1.1(j) hereof) to the Company no later than
8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the

                                      25
<PAGE>

day such Call Option is exercised. If the Purchaser does not exercise a Call
Option by 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last day of the applicable Draw Down
Pricing Period, the Purchaser's Call Options with respect to that Draw Down
Pricing Period shall automatically terminate.

    Section 6.3   Aggregate Limit.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
                  ---------------
herein, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice or grant a Call
Option to the extent that the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto
and pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices or Call Options issued hereunder
would cause the Company to sell or the Purchaser to purchase shares of Common
Stock which in the aggregate are in a dollar amount in excess of the Aggregate
Limit.

                                  Termination

    Section 7.1  Term; Termination by Mutual Consent.  The term of this
                 -----------------------------------
Agreement shall expire on the earlier of (i) fourteen (14) months from the date
hereof (the "Investment Period"), (ii) the date that the entire dollar amount of
             -----------------
Shares registered under the Registration Statement have been issued and sold and
(iii) the date the Purchaser shall have purchased $14,000,000 of Common Stock.
Either party may terminate this agreement if the Company enters into a
definitive agreement with respect to a merger or acquisition of the Company as a
result of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company
is acquired or the Company would not be the surviving entity so long as such
termination does not occur during a Draw Down Pricing Period, or during a
Truncated Pricing Period, or prior to a Settlement Date of any Draw Down Pricing
Period or Truncated Pricing Period. This Agreement may be terminated at any time
by mutual written consent of the parties.

    Section 7.2  Other Termination.  The Company shall inform the Purchaser, and
                 -----------------
the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within the
subsequent thirty (30) days (the "Event Period"), if (x) the Company enters into
                                  ------------
an Other Financing without the prior consent of the Purchaser, which consent
will not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, which provides for
(i) the issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or
exchangeable into Common Stock at a discount to the then current market price of
the Common Stock, including, without limitation, an equity line of credit
transaction, (ii) a mechanism for the reset of the purchase price of the Common
Stock to below the then current market price of the Common Stock, or (iii) the
issuance of Common Stock with warrants, which have an exercise price such that
together with the price of the Common Stock would result in the issuance of
shares of Common Stock at a per share price below the then current market price
of the Common Stock, or (y) an event resulting in a Material Adverse Effect or
Material Change in Ownership has occurred. The Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement upon one (1) business day's prior written notice during the Event
Period.

    Section 7.3  Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination by the
                 ---------------------
Company or the Purchaser, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the
other party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
terminated without further action by either party, provided, however, that if a
Draw Down and/or a Call Option has not yet settled, the parties shall

                                      26
<PAGE>

still be obligated to settle such Draw Down and/or Call Option on the terms set
forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section
7.1 or 7.2 herein, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and
effect, except as provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.3, Section
9.1 and Section 9.9 hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to
release the Company or the Purchaser from any liability for any breach under
this Agreement, or to impair the rights of the Company and the Purchaser to
compel specific performance by the other party of its obligations under this
Agreement.

                                Indemnification

    Section 8.1  General Indemnity.
                 -----------------

    (a)  Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold
         ------------------------------
harmless the Purchaser, any broker-dealer named in the Registration Statement,
as amended, (the "Broker-Dealer") and each person, if any, who controls the
                  -------------
Purchaser or the Broker-Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense
and investigation and all attorneys' fees) to which the Purchaser, the Broker-
Dealer and each such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained, or
incorporated by reference, in the Registration Statement (including any
Prospectus or Prospectus supplement which are a part of it), or any amendment or
supplement to it, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the
Registration Statement (including any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement which
are a part of it), or any amendment or supplement to it, or any document
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.

     The Company will reimburse the Purchaser, the Broker-Dealer and each such
controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses
reasonably incurred by the Purchaser, the Broker-Dealer or such controlling
person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any
such claim, action, suit or proceeding, except that the Company will not be
liable to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out
of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or
alleged omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any
0amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Prospectus supplement in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by either the
Purchaser or the Broker-Dealer to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or
Prospectus supplement.

     (b)  Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser will indemnify and
          --------------------------------
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any
expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all
attorneys fees) to which the Purchaser and each such controlling person may

                                      27
<PAGE>

become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement,
omission or alleged omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus
supplement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or Prospectus
supplement in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information
furnished by the Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or
Prospectus supplement, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement to it a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the
Purchaser to the Company for inclusion in the Prospectus or Prospectus
supplement or an amendment or supplement to it. The Purchaser will reimburse the
Company and each such director, officer or controlling person promptly upon
demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company or the other person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to
defend against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising out of, or
based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged
omission, included in any Prospectus or Prospectus supplement or any amendment

     Section 8.2   Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after a person
                   --------------------------
receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person
intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the person will notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit
or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except
to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.
The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any
claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought,
and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to
indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the
indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against
the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party
that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action,
suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or
other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of
counsel to the indemnified party, one or more of the indemnified parties should
be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or
proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a
condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will
cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense
of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying
party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior
written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened
action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may
be,
                                      28
<PAGE>

made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the
settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all
liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened
action.

     If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not
available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in
respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which it is
entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of
indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the
proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other
from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or
proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if that allocation is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative
fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party with respect to the
statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or
proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

                                 Miscellaneous

    Section 9.1   Fees and Expenses.
                  -----------------
    (a)  Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company
shall pay, at the Closing, all fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by the Purchaser up to $25,000 in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement. In addition, the Company
shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred
by the Purchaser in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of
this Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp or other similar taxes and
duties levied in connection with issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto.

    (b)  If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice and fails to deliver the
Shares on the applicable Settlement Date, and such failure continues for ten
(10) Trading Days, the Company shall pay the Purchaser in cash or restricted
shares of Common Stock, at the option of the Purchaser, as liquidated damages
for such failure and not as a penalty an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the
payment required to be paid by the Purchaser on such Settlement Date (i.e., the
sum of the Draw Down Amount and the Call Option Amount) for the initial thirty
(30) days following such Settlement Date until the Shares have been delivered,
and an additional two percent (2%) for each additional thirty (30) day period
thereafter until the Shares have been delivered, which amount shall be prorated
for such periods less than thirty (30) days.

    (c)  On each Settlement Date, the Company shall pay Reedland Capital
Partners, an Institutional Division of Financial West Group, Member,
NASD/SIPC/MSRB, a

                                      29

placement fee in the amount of one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) of the
corresponding Draw Down Amount or Call Option Amount.

     Section 9.2   Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
                   ---------------------------------------------
     (a)  The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that either party shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which either
party may be entitled by law or equity.

     (b)  Each of the Company and the Purchaser (i) hereby irrevocably submits
to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court and other courts of the
United States sitting in the State of New York for the purposes of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (ii)
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and
the Purchaser consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this
Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.

    Section 9.3   Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement represents the
                  ---------------------------
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either
party relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth herein. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument
signed by both parties hereto.
