Company and registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee.

        2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                Each Buyer represents and warrants with respect to only itself
that:

                a. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the Preferred
Shares and the Warrants, (ii) upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, will
acquire the Conversion Shares then issuable, (iii) upon exercise of the
Warrants, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, and
(iv) under certain circumstances, will acquire Registration

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

Delay Payment Shares, in each case for its own account and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution
thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does
not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term
and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance
with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

                b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

                c. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the
Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and
such Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire the Securities.

                d. Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities
which have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or
its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such
Buyer's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained
in Sections 3 and 9(m). Such Buyer understands that its investment in the
Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

                e. No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

                f. Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that, except as
provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been
and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold, assigned or
transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from
such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable
assurance that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

rule thereto) ("RULE 144"); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,
if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances
in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed
to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require
compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other
person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or
any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be
pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by
the securities.

                g. Legends. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or
other instruments representing the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and, until
such time as the sale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been
registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement, the stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of such stock certificates):

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
        UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE
        SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
        TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
        STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
        AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
        IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT
        REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
        SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.
        NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
        CERTIFICATE MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
        OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate or other instrument without such legend to the holder of the
Securities upon which it is stamped, if (i) such Securities are registered for
sale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under
the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable
assurances that such Securities can be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule
144(k). Each Buyer acknowledges, covenants and agrees to sell the Securities
represented by a certificate(s) or other instruments from which the legend has
been removed, only pursuant to (i) a registration statement effective under the
1933 Act, or

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

(ii) advice of counsel that such sale is exempt from registration required by
Section 5 of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the legend is removed from any certificate representing any of the
Securities due to the availability of an effective registration statement
relating to the resale thereof, and such registration statement is no longer
effective, upon the reasonable request of the Company, each Buyer who is a
holder of such Securities agrees to return certificates representing the
affected Securities, provided such Securities have not been sold pursuant to
such registration statement, to the Company's transfer agent in order that the
legend set forth above may be re-imposed on such Securities.

                h. Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and constitute valid and binding
agreements of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their
terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and
other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of
applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

                i. Residency. Such Buyer is a resident of that country or
jurisdiction specified on the Schedule of Buyers.

                j. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by such Buyer and the
consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
will not result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or
other documents of organization of such Buyer.

        3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

                The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:

                a. Organization and Qualification. Set forth in Schedule 3(a) is
a complete list of each entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly,
owns any capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest. The Company and
its "Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in
which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns more than 50% of the outstanding
capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest representing at least 50%
of the outstanding equity or similar interests of such entity) (a complete list

validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
they are incorporated, and have the requisite corporate power and authorization
to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted.
Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it
makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be
so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As
used in this Agreement, "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations,
financial condition or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any,
taken

                                       5

Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) have been duly authorized by the
Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required
by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders; (iii) the
Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company; (iv)
the Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors'
rights and remedies; and (v) prior to the Closing Date, the Certificate of
Designations will have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware and will be in full force and effect, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with its terms.

bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its

Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) there are no securities or instruments
containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the
issuance of the Securities as described in this Agreement; and (vii) the Company

INCORPORATION"), and the Company's By-laws, as in effect on the date hereof (the
"BY-LAWS"), and the terms of all securities convertible into or exercisable for
Common Stock and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.

                d. Issuance of Securities. The Preferred Shares are duly
authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be (i)
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) free from all taxes, liens

conversion or exercise in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or the

accorded to a holder of Common Stock and entitled to be traded on the Nasdaq

<PAGE>   8

                e. No Conflicts. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(e), the
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company,
the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Certificate of
Designations and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the reservation
for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) result in a
violation of the Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock of the
Company or the By-laws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and
state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the
principal market or exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or listed)
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected. Except as
disclosed in Schedule 3(e), neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in
violation of any term of or in default under (x) its Certificate of
Incorporation, any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of any
outstanding series of Preferred Stock or By-laws or their organizational charter
or by-laws, respectively, or (y) any contract, agreement, mortgage,
indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment, decree or order or any statute,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries, except for
such violations which have not had and, to the knowledge of the Company, will
not have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is not being conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation of any governmental entity, except for any violations which
individually or in the aggregate will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except
as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933
Act, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order
of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or
any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or
perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction
Documents or the Certificate of Designations in accordance with the terms hereof
or thereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(e), all consents, authorizations,
orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain
pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to
the date hereof. The Company complies with and is not in violation of the
listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market as in effect on the date
hereof and the Closing Date and is not aware of any facts which would reasonably
lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Nasdaq National
Market in the foreseeable future.

                f. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Since December 31, 1996,
the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 ACT")
(all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC
DOCUMENTS"). The Company has delivered to or made available for review by the
Buyers or their respective

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

representatives true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. As of their
respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their
respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the
periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of
unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other written
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyers which is not
included in the SEC Documents, including, without limitation, the information
referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or
were made, not misleading. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their officers, directors, agents or employees have provided the Buyers
with any material, nonpublic information.

                g. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in Schedule
3(g) or the SEC Documents filed on EDGAR at least five (5) business days prior
to the date hereof, since December 31, 1998, there has been no adverse change
and no adverse development in the business, properties, operations, financial
condition, prospects, liabilities or results of operations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries which has had or, to the knowledge of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, may have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not taken any
steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection
pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.

                h. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company,
the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or
the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
except as set forth in Schedule 3(h).

                i. Acknowledgment Regarding Buyers' Purchase of Preferred
Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Buyers is acting
solely in the capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that each Buyer is not
acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar
capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Certificate of
Designations and the transactions contemplated thereby, and any advice given by
any of the Buyers or any of their respective representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the Certificate of Designations
and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Buyer that
the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based
solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

                j. No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or
Circumstances. No event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or
exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective
business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would
be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a
registration statement filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by
the Company of its Common Stock and which has not been publicly disclosed.

                k. No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of
Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the
Securities.

                l. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of
the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of Securities to be
integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or
any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., nor will the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require
registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the
Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

                m. Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is involved in any material union labor dispute nor, to the
knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute
threatened. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a
collective bargaining agreement. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that
relations between the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective
employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933
Act) has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company or
otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company.

                n. Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its
Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks,
trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents,
patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental
authorizations, trade secrets and rights necessary to conduct their

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

respective businesses as now conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(n),
none of the Company's trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark
registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to
expire or terminate within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, where
the result of such expiration or termination would have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries do not
have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of
trademarks, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions,
licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations, trade secret
or other similar rights of others, or of any such development of similar or
identical trade secret or technical information by others which infringement
could have a Material Adverse Effect, and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(n),
there is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought against, or to the
Company's knowledge, being threatened against, the Company or its Subsidiaries
regarding trademarks, trade name rights, patents, patent rights, inventions,
copyrights, licenses, service names, service marks, service mark registrations,
trade secrets or other infringement. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of all of their intellectual properties.

                o. Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are
in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws
and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or
contaminants ("ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or
other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct
their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and
conditions of any such permit, license or approval, where such noncompliance or
failure to receive permits, licenses or approvals referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.

                p. Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(p) or such
as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with
the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

                q. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be
prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been
refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not
be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business at a cost that would not materially and adversely
affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business or
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

                r. Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess
all material certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or a modification
of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

                s. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset
accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

                t. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. To the knowledge of the
Company, neither the Company, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or
other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the
course of acting for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for
any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977; or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment,
kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government
official or employee.

                u. Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(u), the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal and state income and
all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to
which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for
the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no
unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of
any jurisdiction, and the Company is not aware of any basis for any such claim.

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                v. Certain Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(v)
and in the SEC Documents filed on EDGAR at least five (5) business days prior to
the date hereof and except for arm's length transactions pursuant to which the
Company makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less
favorable than the Company could obtain from third parties and other than the
grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers,
directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

                w. Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges
that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will
increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in
accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations and its
obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and
unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on
the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

                x. Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its
board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or any other
similar anti-takeover provision under applicable California law, contained in
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise which is or could
become applicable to the Buyers as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the
Securities and the Buyer's ownership of the Securities.

                y. No Other Agreements. The Company has not, directly or
indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except
as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

                z. Rights Plan. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has adopted a shareholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to
accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of
the Company.

        4. COVENANTS.

                a. Best Efforts. Each party shall use its best efforts timely to
satisfy the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 6 and 7 of
this Agreement.

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

                b. Form D. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to
the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to
each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the
Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is
necessary to qualify the Securities for, or obtain exemption for the Securities
for, sale to the Buyers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under
applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers on or prior to
the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the
offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

                c. Reporting Status. Until the earlier of (i) the date which is
one (1) year after the date as of which the Investors (as that term is defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) may sell all of the Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under
the 1933 Act (or successor thereto); or (ii) the date on which (A) the Investors
shall have sold all the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and (B) none of
the Preferred Shares or Warrants is outstanding (the "REPORTING PERIOD"); the
Company (I) shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to
the 1934 Act, and (II) except as a result of a Major Transaction (as defined
below) (provided that the Company has complied with Sections 2(c)(ii) of the
Certificate of Designations, Section 7(e) of the Warrants and Section 4(m) of
this Agreement), shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.

        A "MAJOR TRANSACTION" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as
any of the following events occurs:

        (i) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the
        Company with or into another Person (other than (A) a consolidation,
        merger or other business combination in which holders of the Company's
        voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after the
        transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the
        surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the
        members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a
        corporation) of such entity or entities, or (B) pursuant to a migratory
        merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of
        incorporation of the Company);

        (ii) the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's
        assets; or

        (iii) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by the
        holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                d. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the
sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants for general corporate purposes.

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

                e. Financial Information. The Company agrees to send the
following to each Investor (as that term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) during the Reporting Period: (i) within two (2) business days after
the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any
registration statements or amendments (other than on Form S-8) filed pursuant to
the 1933 Act; (ii) using the Company's reasonable best efforts, on the same day
as the release thereof, facsimile copies of all press releases issued by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) copies of any notices and other
information made available or given to the stockholders of the Company
generally, contemporaneously with the making available or giving thereof to the
stockholders.

                f. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action
necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance, no less than the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide
for the issuance of the Conversion Shares (without regard to any limitations on
conversions) issuable upon conversion of all the Preferred Shares then
outstanding at the Conversion Price then in effect as specified in Section 2(b)
of the Certificate of Designations and the number of shares of Common Stock
needed to provide for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of all outstanding Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercises) at
the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) then in effect.

                g. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all
of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system (including
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Nasdaq National Market), if any, upon which
shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance)
and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed, such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable
under the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Certificate of
Designations. The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the Common
Stock's authorization for listing on the Nasdaq National Market, AMEX or NYSE.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which
would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market, AMEX or NYSE (other than to switch
listings from the Nasdaq National Market to AMEX or NYSE or from AMEX to the
Nasdaq National Market or NYSE). The Company shall promptly offer to provide to
each Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Nasdaq National Market,
AMEX or NYSE regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing
on such automated quotation system or securities exchange. The Company shall pay
all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this
Section 4(g).

                h. Transactions With Affiliates. So long as any Preferred Shares
or Warrants are outstanding the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend, modify or supplement, or permit any
Subsidiary to enter into, amend, modify or supplement, any agreement,
transaction, commitment or arrangement with any of its or any Subsidiary's
officers, directors, persons who were officers or directors at any time during
the previous two (2) years, stockholders who beneficially own 5% or more of the

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

Common Stock, or affiliates or with any individual related by blood, marriage or
adoption to any such individual or with any entity in which any such entity or
individual owns a 5% or more beneficial interest (each a "RELATED PARTY"),
except for (a) customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on
reasonable terms, (b) any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement on
an arms-length basis on terms no less favorable than terms which would have been
obtainable from a person other than such Related Party, or (c) any agreement,
transaction, commitment or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Company. For purposes hereof, any director who is
also an officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be a
disinterested director with respect to any such agreement, transaction,
commitment or arrangement. "AFFILIATE" for purposes hereof means, with respect
to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or indirectly,
(i) has a 5% or more equity interest in that person or entity, (ii) has 5% or
more common ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that person or
entity, or (iv) shares common control with that person or entity. "CONTROL" or
"CONTROLS" for purposes hereof means that a person or entity has the power,
direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or
entity.

                i. Filing of Form 8-K. On or before the second (2nd) business
day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Form 8-K with
the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents and including as exhibits to such 8-K this Agreement, the Certificate
of Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement and the form of Warrant, in
the form required by the 1934 Act.

                j. Intentionally omitted.

                k. Right of Participation. Subject to the exceptions described
below, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not contract with any party for
any (i) convertible securities (other than the Preferred Shares pursuant to this
Agreement) that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price
which may vary (including by way of one or more periodic adjustments to a fixed
conversion price) with the market price of the Common Stock or shares of Common
Stock with an effective ultimate purchase price which may vary with the market
price of the Common Stock after the issuance date of such shares of Common Stock
(the formulation for such variable price being herein referred to as, the
"VARIABLE PRICE"), (ii) shares of Common Stock issued at a price which is less
than the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)
on the date immediately preceding the issuance date of such shares, or (iii)
convertible securities (other than the Preferred Shares pursuant to this
Agreement) that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price
which is less than the Fixed Conversion Price on the date immediately preceding
the issuance date of such convertible securities ("FUTURE OFFERINGS") during the
period (the "RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION PERIOD") beginning on the date which is 184
days after the Closing Date and ending on and including December 31, 2000,
unless it shall have first delivered to each Buyer or a designee appointed by
such Buyer written notice (the "PARTICIPATION OFFERING NOTICE") describing the
proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof, and
providing each Buyer an option to purchase up to its Aggregate Participation
Percentage (as defined below), as of the date of delivery of the Participation
Offering Notice, of the Future

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence are collectively referred
to as the "PARTICIPATION OFFERING LIMITATION"). For purposes of this Section
4(k), "AGGREGATE PARTICIPATION PERCENTAGE" at any time with respect to any Buyer
shall mean the percentage obtained by multiplying (I) 50% by (II) the quotient
of (i) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares purchased by such Buyer at the
Closing, divided by (ii) the aggregate number of Preferred Shares purchased by
all Buyers at the Closing. A Buyer can exercise its option to participate in a
Future Offering pursuant to this Section 4(k) by delivering written notice
thereof to participate to the Company within 10 business days of receipt of a
Participation Offering Notice, which notice shall state the quantity of
securities being offered in the Future Offering that such Buyer will purchase,
up to its Aggregate Participation Percentage of the Future Offering, and that
number of securities it is willing to purchase in excess of its Aggregate
Participation Percentage of the Future Offering. In the event that one or more
Buyers fail to elect to purchase up to each such Buyer's Aggregate Participation
Percentage of the Future Offering, then each Buyer which has indicated that it
is willing to purchase a number of securities in excess of its Aggregate
Participation Percentage of the Future Offering shall be entitled to purchase
its pro rata portion (determined in the same manner as described in the
preceding sentence) of the securities in the Future Offering which one or more
Buyers have not elected to purchase. In the event the Buyers fail to elect to
fully participate in the Future Offering pursuant to this Section 4(k) within
the periods described in this Section 4(k), the Company shall have 45 days
thereafter to sell the securities of the Future Offering that the Buyers did not
elect to purchase, upon terms and conditions (including the amount thereof), no
more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Participation
Offering Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such securities of the
Future Offering within such 45 day period, the Company shall not thereafter
issue or sell such securities during the Right of Participation Period without
first offering such securities to the Buyers in the manner provided in this
Section 4(k). The Participation Offering Limitation shall not apply to (i) a
loan from a bank or institutional lender which does not have any equity feature
other than warrants exercisable at an exercise price greater than 50% of the
market price of the Common Stock at the time of such loan and exercisable for a
number of shares of Common Stock which does not exceed the quotient of (I) 10%
of the proceeds to the Company from such loan, divided by (II) the market price
of the Common Stock at the time of such loan, (ii) any transaction involving the
Company's issuances of securities (A) as consideration in a merger or
consolidation, (B) in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture
(the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or (C) as
consideration for the acquisition of a business, product or license or other
assets by the Company, (iii) the issuance of Common Stock in a firm commitment,
underwritten public offering, (iv) the issuance of securities upon exercise or
conversion of the Company's options, warrants or other convertible securities
outstanding as of the date hereof, (v) the grant of additional options or
warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any contract, plan or
agreement which has been approved by the board of directors of the Company
pursuant to which the Company's securities may be issued to any employee,
officer, director, consultant or other service providers, (vi) the issuance of
securities pursuant to an offering by the Company in reliance upon Rule 144A
under the 1933 Act with proceeds to the Company of at least $50,000,000 and
which does not provide for any demand or piggyback registration rights for at
least one (1) year from the date of the offering or (vii) issuances of Common
Stock under that certain Common Stock Investment Agreement, dated as

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

of July 30, 1999 and as amended on March 21, 2000, between the Company and
Cripple Creek Securities, LLC (the "INVESTMENT AGREEMENT"), provided there are
no amendments or waivers of provisions thereof (A) relating to (I) the aggregate
dollar amount of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Investment
Agreement, (II) the per share purchase price or the $2.00 per share minimum
purchase price or (III) additional consideration to be received or costs or
expenses recoverable by the Investor thereunder or (B) which would result in a
larger number of shares of Common Stock being issued or available for issuance
under the Investment Agreement than was contemplated on March 21, 2000 by the
Investment Agreement. The Buyers shall not be required to participate or
exercise their right of participation with respect to a particular Future
Offering in order to exercise their right of participation with respect to later
Future Offerings.

                l. Waiver of Certain Other Rights of First Refusal. Each Buyer
agrees that beginning on and including the date which is 184 days after the
Closing Date the right of participation contained in Section 4(k) above shall
supersede all other prior oral or written agreements for rights of first refusal
or participation between such Buyer and the Company (including, without
limitation, the rights set forth in Section 4(m) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement between the Company and holders of the Series D Preferred Stock dated
March 30,1999 (the "SERIES D PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and in Section 4(e) of the
Exchange Agreement between the Company and holders of the Series F Preferred
Stock dated September 9, 1999 (the "SERIES F EXCHANGE AGREEMENT")) for the
period beginning on and including the date which is 184 days after the Closing
Date and ending on and including December 31, 2000, and beginning on and
including the date which is 184 days after the Closing Date such Buyer waives
and relinquishes all such other rights of first refusal and participation and
agrees that such rights shall no longer be of any force or effect for the period
beginning on and including the date which is 184 days after the Closing Date and
ending on and including December 31, 2000. Nothing in this Section 4(l) shall in
any way effect such Buyer's rights of first refusal under Section 4(m) of the
Series D Purchase Agreement and Section 4(e) of the Series F Exchange Agreement
prior to the date which is 184 days after the Closing Date.

                m. Corporate Existence. So long as a Buyer beneficially owns any
Preferred Shares or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence
and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in
the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets, where the surviving or successor entity (and, if an entity
different than such surviving or successor entity, the entity whose securities
the holders of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger,
consolidation or sale of assets will receive in such transaction) in such
transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the
agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a
publicly traded corporation whose common stock is listed for trading on the
Nasdaq National Market, NYSE or AMEX.

                n. Consent to Issuance of Preferred Shares. Each Buyer consents,
under Section 4(g) of the Series D Purchase Agreement and Section 4(f) of the
Series F Exchange Agreement, to the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants pursuant to this Agreement.

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

        5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

                The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer
agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in
the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each
Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the
Warrants, as the case may be (the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS").
Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the
1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other
than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and stop transfer instructions
permitted by the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions or to give effect to
Section 2(f) (in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, prior
to registration of the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares
under the 1933 Act) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that
the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in any way
each Buyer's obligations and agreements set forth in Section 2(g) to comply with
all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the
Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form
and substance generally acceptable to the Company, that registration of a resale
by such Buyer of any of such Securities is not required under the 1933 Act, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer
and without any restrictive legends. The Company acknowledges that a breach by
it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its

Securities and all of their stockholders, officers, directors, employees and
direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's agents or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"INDEMNITEES") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designations or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b)
any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in
the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designations or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any
cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee (other
than a cause of action, suit or claim by another Buyer) and arising out of or
resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance, breach by the Company
or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of Designations,
or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby,
(ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, excluding
losses resulting solely from a decline in the market value of the Company's
securities, or (iii) solely the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities
as an investor in the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified
Liabilities shall not include any liability of any Indemnitee arising solely out
of such Indemnitee's willful misconduct or fraudulent action(s). To the extent
that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any
reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and
procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 8 shall
be the same as those set forth in Sections 6(a) and (d) of the Registration
Rights Agreement, including, without limitation, those procedures with respect
to the settlement of claims and Company's right to assume the defense of claims.

<PAGE>   23

                a. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws
of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights
of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of (i) the state and
federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan and (ii)
the state and federal courts sitting in the State of California, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such
party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE
ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT
OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

                b. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each
party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature
shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory
thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not
a facsimile signature.

                c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience
of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

                d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or
enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

                e. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all
other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their
affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters
covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or
therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this
Agreement may be amended

                                       23

other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of
at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares held
by holders or former holders of the Preferred Shares (determined on an as
converted to Common Stock basis at the time of such determination) then
outstanding, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of
the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall be
offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of the Transaction Documents or the Certificate of
Designations unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to the Transaction Documents or holders of the Preferred Shares, as the case may
be.

                f. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other
communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this

and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
assigns, including any purchasers of the Preferred Shares. The Company shall not
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding, including by merger or consolidation, except pursuant to a Major
Transaction with respect to which the Company is in compliance with Sections
2(c)(ii) of the Certificate of Designations, Section 4(m) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement and Section 8(e) of the Warrants. A Buyer may assign some or
all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company; provided,
however, that any such assignment shall not release such Buyer from its
obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and
the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, each Buyer
shall be entitled to pledge the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin
account or other loan secured by such Securities.

                h. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced

9(l), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained
in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and
9, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8, shall survive the
Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations,
warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

                                       25
<PAGE>   26

                j. Publicity. The Company and each Buyer shall have the right to
approve before issuance any press releases or any other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the
Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any
press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions as is
required by applicable law and regulations (although each Buyer shall be
consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other
public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy
thereof).

                k. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause
to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute
and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents,
as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

                l. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have
occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before three (3) business days from the
date hereof due to the Company's or such Buyer's failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) above (and the nonbreaching
party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching
party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to
any other party.

                m. Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged
Promethean Capital Group, LLC as placement agent in connection with the sale of
the Preferred Shares and the Warrants. The Company shall be responsible for the
payment of any placement agent's fees or brokers' commissions relating to or
arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and
hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in
connection with any such claim.

                n. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement
will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

                o. Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of Securities shall have
all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and the
Certificate of Designations and all rights and remedies which such holders have
been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract relating to the
subject matter hereof and all of the rights which such holders have under any
law. Any person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be
entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.

                p. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to the Warrants, the
Registration Rights

                                       26

Agreement or the Certificate of Designations or the Buyers enforce or exercise
their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
