            3.24 Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth

insurers of recognized  financial  responsibility  against such losses and risks

not  constitute  unreasonably  small  capital to carry on its  business  for the
current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted,  including
its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the
business  conducted by the Company,  projected capital  requirements and capital
availability  thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company,  together
with the proceeds  the Company  would  receive  were it to liquidate  all of its
assets,  after taking into account all  anticipated  uses of the cash,  would be
sufficient  to pay all  amounts on or in respect of its debts when such  amounts
are  required to be paid.  The Company has no present  intention  to incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they  mature  (taking  into  account the
timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

                -------------
applicable,  its officers,  directors,  managers,  members,  shareholders and/or
partners necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the Registration  Rights  Agreement,  and the consummation of
the transactions  contemplated herein and therein, has been taken. When executed
and delivered, each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement will

may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.  Such Purchaser

                --------------------

not organized for the purpose of acquiring any of the Shares, Conversion Shares,
Warrants or Warrant Shares. Such Purchaser's financial condition is such that it
is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite  period of time
and the risk of loss of its entire  investment.  Such  Purchaser has  sufficient
knowledge and experience in investing in companies  similar to the Company so as
to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

under the  Securities  Act,  by reason of their  issuance  by the  Company  in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and
that the Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares must continue to
be held by such Purchaser unless a subsequent  disposition thereof is registered
under the  Securities  Act,  including  pursuant to the  registration  statement
required  under  the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,  or is  exempt  from such
registration.  Such Purchaser  understands that the exemptions from registration
afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under
the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various  conditions,  and that,
if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.

cancellation  or  acceleration  of any  obligation  or to a loss  of a  material
benefit  under (i) the  organizational  documents of such  Purchaser or (ii) any
agreement or instrument,  permit, franchise,  license, judgment, order, statute,
law, ordinance, rule or regulations, applicable to such Purchaser.

itself only) and not jointly that it shall not sell, assign, pledge, transfer or

or Warrant Shares,  except (i) pursuant to an effective  registration  statement
under the Securities  Act,  including  such as required  under the  Registration
Rights  Agreement,  (ii) to an Affiliate (so long as such Affiliate agrees to be
bound by the terms and  provisions  of this  Agreement as if, and to the fullest
extent as, such  Purchaser),  or (iii)  pursuant to an available  exemption from
registration  under the Securities Act (including  sales  permitted  pursuant to
Rule 144) and applicable state  securities laws and, if reasonably  requested by
the Company in the case of this clause (iii), upon delivery by such Purchaser of
either an opinion of counsel of such Purchaser  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
Company to the effect  that the  proposed  transfer  is exempt  from or does not
require  registration  under the Securities Act and

                                       16
<PAGE>

applicable state  securities laws or a  representation  letter of such Purchaser
reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company  setting  forth a  factual  basis  for
concluding  that  such  proposed  transfer  is exempt  from or does not  require
registration  under the  Securities Act and applicable  state  securities  laws;
provided,  however,  it is agreed that the Company will not require  opinions of
counsel  for  transactions   made  pursuant  to  Rule  144,  except  in  unusual
circumstances.  Any transfer or purported transfer of the Shares in violation of
this Section 6.1 shall be void.  The Company  shall not register any transfer of
     -----------
the Shares in  violation  of this Section 6.1. The Company may, and may instruct
                                  -----------
any transfer agent for the Company, to place such stop transfer orders as may be
required on the transfer books of the Company in order to ensure compliance with
the provisions of this Section 6.1.
                       -----------

            6.2. Legends.
                 -------

               (a) To the extent applicable,  each certificate or other document
evidencing  the Shares,  the  Conversion  Shares and the Warrant Shares shall be
endorsed with the legend set forth below,  and each  Purchaser  covenants  that,
except to the extent such  restrictions are waived by the Company,  it shall not
transfer the shares  represented by any such certificate  without complying with
the  restrictions  on  transfer  described  in this  Agreement  and the  legends
endorsed on such certificate:

       "THE  SHARES  REPRESENTED  BY  THIS  CERTIFICATE  HAVE  NOT  BEEN
       REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  AND MAY
       NOT  BE  OFFERED  OR  SOLD  IN  THE   ABSENCE  OF  AN   EFFECTIVE
       REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
       EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,  REGISTRATION
       UNDER SAID ACT."

               (b) The legend set forth in Section  6.2(a) shall be removed from
                                           ---------------
the certificates  evidencing the Shares,  the Conversion  Shares and the Warrant
Shares,  (i) in connection  with any sale of such Shares,  Conversion  Shares or
Warrant  Shares  pursuant to Rule 144 or any effective  registration  statement,
including such as required under the Registration  Rights Agreement,  or (ii) if
such  Shares,  Conversion  Shares or Warrant  Shares are eligible for sale under
Rule 144(k) (and the holder of such Shares,  Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares
or has submitted a written request for removal of the legend indicating that the
holder has complied with the  applicable  provisions of Rule 144(k)) or (iii) if
such legend is not required under applicable  requirements of the Securities Act
(including  interpretations  and pronouncements  issued by the Staff of the SEC)
(and the  holder  of such  Shares,  Conversion  Shares  or  Warrant  Shares  has
submitted  a written  request  for  removal of the legend  indicating  that such
legend is not required  under  applicable  requirements  of the  Securities  Act
(including  such  interpretations  and   pronouncements))   and,  if  reasonably
requested by the Company,  the Company has received from Purchaser's  counsel an
opinion, in such form as is reasonably  satisfactory to Company's counsel,  that
such legend is not so required.  The Company  shall cause its counsel to issue a
legal opinion to the Company's  transfer agent,  if required,  promptly upon the
occurrence  of any of the events in clauses  (i),  (ii) or (iii) above to effect
the removal of the legend on certificates  evidencing the Shares, the Conversion
Shares or the  Warrant  Shares  and shall  also  cause  its  counsel  to issue a
"blanket" legal opinion to the Company's  transfer agent, if required,  promptly
after  the  effective  date of any  registration  statement,  including  such as
required under the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,  covering the resale of the
Shares,  any  Conversion  Shares  or  Warrant  Shares  to  allow  sales  without
restriction pursuant to such registration statement.  The Company agrees that at
such time as such legend is no longer  required  under this Section  6.2(b),
                                                            ---------------

it will,  no later than four (4)  Business  Days  following  the  delivery  by a
Purchaser  to the  Company  or the  Company's  transfer  agent of a  certificate
representing  the  Shares,  Conversion  Shares or Warrant  Shares  issued with a
restrictive  legend,  deliver  or  cause to be  delivered  to such  Purchaser  a
certificate  representing such Shares,  Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares that
is free from all  restrictive  and other  legends;  provided that in the case of
removal of the legend in connection with a sale pursuant to Rule 144, the holder
of such  Shares,  Conversion  Shares or Warrant  Shares has  submitted a written
request for removal of the legend  indicating  that the holder has complied with
the applicable  provisions of Rule 144. The Company may not make any notation on
its records or give  instructions  to any  transfer  agent of the  Company  that
enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

                                                                         -------
6.10. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice (the "Offer")
----
of  any  proposed  or  intended  Financing  and  offer  to  the  Purchasers  the
opportunity,  but not the  obligation,  to participate in up to a portion of the
Financing  determined,  in  aggregate,  by  multiplying  the total amount of the

of such  Equity  Securities  (such  date  being the  "Measuring  Date")  and the
denominator  of which is (ii) the total number of Fully Diluted shares of Common
Stock  outstanding  as of  the  Measuring  Date.  The  aggregate  amount  of the

right in accordance  with the foregoing.  The Purchasers  shall provide  written
notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days from the giving of the Offer

materially  advantageous  to purchasers in the Financing than those described in
the Offer, and if the Purchasers' have indicated an intent to participate in the
Financing,  with the Purchasers'  prior written consent,  not to be unreasonably
withheld,  as to any  modifications  to such  terms  that  are  materially  less
favorable to purchasers in the Financing. The Company shall comply anew with the
requirements,  as to an Offer  and  otherwise,  of this  Section  6.10 as to any
                                                         -------------
Financing not completed within such period.  The term "Equity  Securities" shall
mean (i) any Common  Stock,  preferred  stock or other  equity  security  of the
Company,  (ii) any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for,
with or without consideration, any Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity
security of the Company  (including  any option to purchase  such a  convertible
security),  (iii) any security  carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or
purchase any Common Stock,  preferred stock or other equity security or (iv) any
such warrant or right.

               (b) The foregoing  right of first offer shall not apply to any of
the following:

                  (i)  Equity   Securities  issued  after  the  date  hereof  to
         employees,  officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the

         rights or agreements,  options, warrants or convertible securities that
         are  outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or that are issued or

                                                                         -------
         6.10;

            6.12 Purchasers' Right of Co-Sale.
                 ----------------------------

               (a) In the event,  prior to a Qualified Public  Offering,  any of
Darin M.  Myman or Adam M.  Kotkin  (each,  a "Key  Person")  proposes  to sell,
assign,  transfer or otherwise dispose of any Equity Securities in a transaction
other  than (i)  pursuant  to an  effective  registration  statement  under  the
Securities  Act,  including  such as  required  under  the  Registration  Rights
Agreement, (ii) to an Affiliate of the Key Person, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144
under the  Securities  Act, then such Key Person shall give written  notice (the
"Key  Person  Sale  Notice")  to the  Purchasers  of the  proposed  transaction,
describing in reasonable detail the price, amount, consideration,  timing (which
shall  not  be  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of the  Purchasers'  notice
provision  below),  identification  of the proposed  acquiror and other material
terms of the proposed transaction,  and offering the Purchasers the opportunity,
but not the  obligation,  to include up to a number of their Shares,  Conversion
Shares,  Warrants or Warrant Shares in the  transaction as provided  below.  The
aggregate number of Shares,  Conversion Shares,  Warrants or Warrant Shares that
the Purchasers',  as a group, may include in the transaction shall be determined
based on their collective  holdings of the Company's Equity Securities  relative
to that of the Key  Person  (with  any  Shares,  Warrants  or  other  securities
exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock,  treated for this purpose on a
fully  exercised or converted  basis).  The aggregate  amount of the Purchasers'
participation  shall  be  allocated  among  them  as  they  may  determine.  The
Purchasers  may  exercise  their  co-sale  right  pursuant to the  foregoing  by
providing a written  notice to the Company,  within five (5) Business  Days from
the giving of the Key Person Sale Notice  specifying the aggregate  amount,  and
allocations among the Purchasers,  of the Shares, Conversion Shares, Warrants or
Warrant  Shares  that they elect to include  in the  transaction,  and upon such
notice the parties shall be bound to complete the  transaction  on the terms set
forth in such  notice  and in the Key Person  Sale  Notice.  If the  Purchasers'
decline to exercise their co-sale right pursuant to the foregoing,  including by
failing to deliver an exercise

                                       21
<PAGE>

notice  within the period  provided  above,  the Key  Person  may  complete  the
transaction  with the  proposed  acquirer  within the time and  otherwise on the
terms  described in the Key Person Sale Notice.  The Key Person may not complete
the transaction  unless the Purchasers'  co-sale right pursuant to the foregoing
are satisfied.

               (b) The co-sale right of the Purchasers set forth in this Section
                                                                         -------
6.12 shall not apply to any sale,  assignment,  transfer or other disposition of
----
any  Equity  Securities  by any Key  Person  which  (i)  individually  or in the
aggregate  for all Key  Persons,  over any twelve  consecutive  months  does not
exceed  150,000 shares of Common Stock (with any Equity  Securities  exercisable
for or  convertible  into  Common  Stock  treated  for this  purpose  on a fully
exercised or converted  basis) or (ii) is made without  consideration to the Key
Person's ancestors,  descendants,  spouse,  siblings,  nieces, or nephews, or to
trusts for the  benefit of such  persons  or the Key Person or  pertains  to the
estate of the Key  Person,  in each case for bona  fide  estate or tax  planning
purposes.

         7. Indemnification.
            ---------------

            7.1 The Company  agrees to indemnify,  defend and hold harmless each
Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers,  directors,  agents,
employees,    subsidiaries,    partners,   members   and   controlling   persons
(collectively,  the "Purchaser  Indemnitees") to the fullest extent permitted by
law  from  and  against  any  and  all  claims,  losses,  liabilities,  damages,
deficiencies,  judgments,  assessments,  fines,  settlements,  costs or expenses
(including  administrative,   judicial  or  regulatory  proceedings,   interest,
penalties,  costs of investigation and reasonable fees,  disbursements and other
charges of  counsel)  (collectively,  "Losses")  based  upon,  arising out of or
otherwise  in  respect  of any  breach  by the  Company  of any  representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or in
the Transaction Documents,  or for any Losses claimed by any broker or placement
agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

            7.2 As promptly as possible after receipt by a Purchaser  Indemnitee
under this Section 7 of notice of the threat,  assertion or  commencement of any
           ---------
claim,  action or  proceeding,  such Purchaser  Indemnitee  will, if a claim for
indemnification  in respect  thereof is to be made under this  Section 7, notify
                                                               ---------
the Company in writing of the  commencement  thereof and the Company  shall have
the right to participate in and, to the extent the Company desires, to assume at
its  expense the defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually  satisfactory  to the
parties; provided,  however, that, the failure to notify the Company promptly of
the threat,  assertion or commencement  of any such claim,  action or proceeding
shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Purchaser Indemnitee under
this  Section  7 except  (and  only)  to the  extent  that it  shall be  finally
      ----------
determined  by a court of competent  jurisdiction  (which  determination  is not
subject to appeal or further  review) that such failure  shall have  proximately
and materially adversely prejudiced the Company.

            7.3 If any Purchaser Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be one or more legal defenses  available to such Purchaser  Indemnitee
party which are different from or additional to those  available to the Company,
or that such claim or  litigation  involves or could have an effect upon matters
beyond the scope of the  indemnity  agreement  provided  in this  Section 7, the
                                                                  ---------
Company  shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf
of such  Purchaser

                                       22
<PAGE>

Indemnitee,  and the Company shall  reimburse such Purchaser  Indemnitee for the
fees and expenses of one separate counsel, for all Purchaser Indemnitees,  which
are  reasonably  related  to the  matters  covered  by the  indemnity  agreement
provided in this Section 7.  Subject to the  foregoing,  a Purchaser  Indmenitee
                 ---------
shall  have the right to  employ  separate  counsel  in any such  action  and to
participate  in the defense  thereof but the fees and  expenses of such  counsel
shall not be at the expense of the Company.  The Company shall not be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding  effected  without its written  consent,  which
consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld.  The Company shall not, without the
prior  written  consent  of  the  relevant  Purchaser  Indemnitee,   effect  any
settlement  of any  pending  proceeding  in  respect  of  which  such  Purchaser
Indemnitee is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional  release
of such  Purchaser  Indemnitee  party from all  liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding.

            7.4. Limitations.
                 -----------

               (a) Time  Limit for  Certain  Claims.  The  Company  shall not be
                   --------------------------------
liable for any Losses  hereunder  arising out of a breach of  representation  or
warranty  unless a written  claim for  indemnification  is given by the relevant
Purchaser Indemnitee to Company on or prior to the Effective Date.

               (b) Maximum Amount. The Company shall not be liable hereunder for
                   --------------
any Losses  incurred by any Purchaser on the value of its Shares as a result out
of a breach of representation or warranty  hereunder in excess of purchase price
hereunder actually paid by such Purchaser for such Shares.

            7.5 Applicability; Non-Exclusivity.  Notwithstanding any term to the
                ------------------------------
contrary in this Section 7, the indemnification  and contribution  provisions of
                 ---------
the  Registration  Rights  Agreement shall govern any claim made with respect to
registration  statements filed pursuant  thereto or sales made  thereunder.  The
parties hereby acknowledge and agree that in addition to remedies of the parties
hereto in  respect  of any and all claims  relating  to any breach or  purported
breach of any representation,  warranty, covenant or agreement that is contained
in this Agreement pursuant to the indemnification  provisions of this Section 7,
                                                                      ---------
all parties shall always retain the right to pursue and obtain injunctive relief
in addition to any other rights or remedies hereunder.

law or in  equity  in the  event  of the  breach  of any of the  terms  of  this
Agreement.  The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy shall
neither  constitute the exclusive  election  thereof nor the waiver of any other
right, power or remedy available to such party.

of its Certificate of  Incorporation  or By-laws or through any  reorganization,

securities,  sale or other transfer of any of its assets or  properties,  or any

of Common Stock  issuable  upon the  exercise of this  Warrant  above the amount

vote or to receive  dividends or to be deemed the holder of the shares of Common
Stock that may at any time be issuable  upon  exercise  of this  Warrant for any
purpose  whatsoever,  nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer
upon the Holder any of the rights of a  stockholder  of the Company or any right
to vote  for  the  election  of  directors  or  upon  any  matter  submitted  to
stockholders  at any  meeting  thereof,  or to give or  withhold  consent to any
corporate   action   (whether   upon   any    recapitalization,    issuance   or
reclassification  of  stock,  change  of par  value or change of stock to no par
value,  consolidation,  merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice
of meetings  (except to the extent  otherwise  provided in this Warrant),  or to
receive dividends or subscription  rights, until the Holder shall have exercised
this Warrant and been issued  Warrant  Shares or other  securities in accordance
with the provisions hereof.

         11.  Amendment  and  Waiver.  No  failure  or  delay of the  Holder  in
              ----------------------
exercising any power or right hereunder  shall operate as a waiver thereof,  nor
shall  any  single  or  partial  exercise  of any such  right or  power,  or any
abandonment  or  discontinuance  of steps  to  enforce  such a right  or  power,
preclude  any other or further  exercise  thereof or the  exercise  of any other
right or power.  The rights and  remedies of the Holder are  cumulative  and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would  otherwise have. The terms of
this Warrant may be amended, modified or waived only with the written consent of
the Company and the Holder.

         12.  Governing  Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in
              --------------
accordance  with the laws of the State of New York,  as such laws are applied to
contracts  entered into and wholly to be performed  within the State of New York
and without  giving effect to any  principles of conflicts or choice of law that
would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

         13.   Covenants  To  Bind   Successor  and  Assigns.   All   covenants,
               ---------------------------------------------
stipulations,  promises and agreements in this Warrant contained by or on behalf
of the Company shall bind its  successors  and assigns,  whether so expressed or
not.

         14.  Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained
              ------------
in this Warrant shall be held invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity,  legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired  thereby.  The parties shall
endeavor  in  good  faith  negotiations  to  replace  the  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable  provisions  with valid  provisions  the economic  effect of which
comes as close as  possible  to that of the  invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable
provisions.

         15.  Construction.  The definitions of this Warrant shall apply equally
              ------------
to both the  singular and the plural  forms of the terms  defined.  Wherever the
context may require,  any pronoun  shall  include the  corresponding  masculine,
feminine and neuter forms.  The section and  paragraph  headings used herein are
for  convenience of reference  only, are not part of this Warrant and are not to
affect the construction of or be taken into  consideration in interpreting  this
Warrant.

         16. Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all
             --------
rights  granted by law,  including  recovery  of  damages,  will be  entitled to
specific  performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that
monetary  damages  would not be adequate  compensation  for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the  provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to
waive the defense in any action for  specific  performance  that a remedy at law
would be adequate.  In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision
of this Warrant or where any provision  hereof is validly asserted as a defense,
the successful  party to

                                       9

such action or  proceeding  shall be entitled to recover  reasonable  attorneys'
fees in addition to any other available remedy.
