<PAGE>

      2.3 Purchase Price and Closing. The Company agrees to issue, sell and
deliver to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon
the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree (a) to purchase the
principal amount of the Notes (together with the attendant Warrants) set forth
opposite their respective names in Exhibit 1.1A for the Closing. The closing of
the purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes and Warrants to be acquired by the
Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take
place at the offices of the Company at 151 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT, 06830
or such other place as the parties may agree. At the Closing, the Company will

that are purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing in exchange for a transfer
of funds to the account of the Company by wire transfer. The date and time of
the Closing shall be at 12:00 p.m. on January ___, 2005. The date of the Closing
is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."

      2.4 Representations by the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers represents
severally, but not jointly, to the Company as follows:

            (a) Investment Representations. It is its present intention to
acquire the Notes and Warrants to be acquired by it for its own account (and it
will be the sole beneficial owner thereof) and that the Notes and Warrants and
the Warrant Shares into which the Warrants may be exercised, respectively, are
being and will be acquired by it for the purpose of investment and not with a
view to distribution or resale thereof except pursuant to registration under the
Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. The acquisition by each Purchaser of
the Notes and Warrants acquired by it shall constitute a confirmation of this
representation by each such Purchaser. Each of the Purchasers further represents
that it understands and agrees that, until registered under the Securities Act
or transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 144A as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), all
certificates evidencing any of the Notes, the Warrants or Warrant Shares,
whether upon initial issuance or upon any transfer thereof, shall bear a legend,
prominently stamped or printed thereon, reading substantially as follows:

            The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be transferred
      except pursuant to an effective registration under the Act or in a
      transaction which qualifies as an exempt transaction under the Act and the
      rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

            (b) Access to Information. Each Purchaser or its representative
during the course of this transaction, and prior to the purchase of any Notes
and Warrants, has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers
from management of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Notes and Warrants, and the additional information, documents,
records and books relative to its business, assets, financial condition, results
of operations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

            (c) General Access. Each Purchaser or its representative has
received and read or reviewed, and is familiar with, this Agreement and the
other agreements executed or delivered herewith, including the terms of the
Notes and Warrants, and confirms that all documents, records and books
pertaining to such Purchaser's investment in the Company and requested by such
Purchaser or its representative have been made available or delivered to him.

            (d) Sophistication and Knowledge. Each Purchaser or its
representative has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of
the Notes and Warrants. Each Purchaser can bear the economic risks of this
investment and can afford a complete loss of its investment.

            (e) Transfer Restrictions Imposed by Securities Laws. Each Purchaser
understands that the Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and,
therefore, cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
such registration is available. Each Purchaser is and must be purchasing the
Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares for investment for the account of
such Purchaser and not for the account or benefit of others, and not with any
present view toward resale or other distribution thereof. Each Purchaser agrees
not to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Notes, the Warrants
and the Warrant Shares purchased by such Purchaser except as permitted by law,
including, without limitation, any regulations under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Purchasers are aware that Rule 144 or Rule
144A under the Securities Act may not be available as a basis for exemption from
registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise
of the Warrants and Warrant Shares.

            (f) Lack of Liquidity. Each Purchaser has no present need for
liquidity in connection with its purchase of the Notes and Warrants.

            (g) Suitability and Investment Objectives. The purchase of the Notes
and Warrants by each Purchaser is consistent with the general investment
objectives of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the
Notes and Warrants involves a high degree of risk in view of the fact that,
among other things, the Company has not been operated profitably in the past,
and intends to complete a significant acquisition. The Company hereby
incorporates all risk factors set forth in the Company's filings under the
Exchange Act.

            (h) Accredited Investor Status. Each Purchaser is an "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act.

      2.5 Brokers or Finders. Each Purchaser severally, and not jointly,
represents that no Person has or will have, as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or valid claim against or
upon the Company for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or
broker because of any act or omission by such Purchaser or its respective
agents, other than as described in Schedule 4.20.

Company under the Securities Act, whether on a demand basis or in connection
with the registration of securities of the Company for its own account or for
the account of any other Person, other than pursuant to the Investors'
Agreement.

            The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any other
Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in the adjustment of the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

            The Company does not have outstanding stockholder purchase rights or
"poison pill" or any similar arrangement in effect giving any Person the right
to purchase any equity interest in the Company upon the occurrence of certain
events.

Warrants have been duly and validly authorized. Subject to the effectiveness of

governmental body, agency, or official other than the Amendment, filings that
have been made pursuant to applicable state securities laws and post-sale
filings pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws which the
Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods. Subject to the

issuance and sale of the Securities, (ii) the issuance of the Warrant Shares
upon due exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) the other transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents from the provisions of any stockholder rights plan
or other "poison pill" arrangement, any anti-takeover, business combination or
control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or
any of its assets and properties may be subject and any provision of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that is or could reasonably be
expected to become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the transactions

by them; and except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, the Company and each
Subsidiary holds any leased real or personal

                                      -11-

appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business
now operated by it, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any

or any other federal, state or local Law, statute or ordinance barring

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

Knowledge, the Company has no liability for the improper classification by the
Company of such employees as independent contractors or leased employees prior
to the Closing.

      4.15 Intellectual Property.

            (a) All Intellectual Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries is
currently in compliance with all legal requirements (including timely filings,
proofs and payments of fees) and is valid and enforceable. No Intellectual
Property of the Company or its Subsidiaries which is necessary for the conduct
of Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as currently
conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved
in any cancellation, dispute or litigation, and, to the Company's Knowledge, no
such action is threatened. No patent of the Company or its Subsidiaries
necessary for the conduct of Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective
businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has
been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or
opposition proceeding.

other agreements concerning Intellectual Property which are necessary for the
conduct of the Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as
currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted to which the
Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of their assets are bound
(other than generally commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software
application programs having a retail acquisition price of less than $10,000 per
license) (collectively, "License Agreements") are valid and binding obligations
of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are parties thereto and, to the
Company's Knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and
there exists no event or condition which will result in a material violation or
breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a
default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such License
Agreement.

            (c) The Company and its Subsidiaries own or have the valid right to
use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary for the conduct of the
Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as currently
conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted and for the ownership,
maintenance and operation of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' properties and
assets, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, adverse claims or obligations
to license all such owned Intellectual Property and Confidential Information,
other than licenses entered into in the ordinary course of the Company's and its
Subsidiaries' businesses, and other than under the Material Contracts, under
this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, or the Other Notes. The Company and
its Subsidiaries have a valid and enforceable right to use all third party
Intellectual Property and Confidential Information used or held for use in the
respective businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

            (d) The conduct of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' businesses as
currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with
(collectively, "Infringe") any Intellectual Property rights of any third party
or any confidentiality obligation

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

owed to a third party, and, to the Company's Knowledge, the Intellectual
Property and Confidential Information of the Company and its Subsidiaries which
are necessary for the conduct of Company's and each of its Subsidiaries'
respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be
conducted are not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or
order pending or outstanding or, to the Company's Knowledge, threatened or
imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use,
validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property or Confidential
Information of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company's and its
Subsidiaries' use of any Intellectual Property or Confidential Information owned
by a third party, and, to the Company's Knowledge, there is no valid basis for
the same.

            (e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the other Transaction Documents will not result in the alteration, loss,
impairment of or restriction on the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries'
ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property or Confidential
Information which is necessary for the conduct of Company's and each of its
Subsidiaries' respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently
proposed to be conducted.

            (f) The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to
protect the Company's and its Subsidiaries' rights in their Intellectual
Property and Confidential Information. Each employee, consultant and contractor
who has had access to Confidential Information which is necessary for the
conduct of Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as
currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an
agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and
has executed appropriate agreements that are substantially consistent with the
Company's standard forms thereof. Except under confidentiality obligations,
there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' Confidential Information to any third party.

      4.16 Environmental Matters. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision or order of any

toxic substances (collectively, "Environmental Laws"), owns or operates any real
property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any Environmental
Laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any
Environmental Laws, and is subject to any claim relating to any Environmental

investigation that might lead to such a claim.

      4.17 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, there are no
pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, its
Subsidiaries or any of its or their properties; and to the Company's Knowledge,

      4.18 Financial Statements. The financial statements included in each SEC
Filing present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of the dates shown and its consolidated results of
operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis ("GAAP") (except as may be

financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act). Except
as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Filings filed prior to the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those
incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and
nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of
which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.19 Insurance Coverage. The Company and each Subsidiary maintains in full
force and effect insurance coverage that is customary for comparably situated
companies for the business being conducted and properties owned or leased by the
Company and each Subsidiary, and the Company reasonably believes such insurance
coverage to be adequate against all liabilities, claims and risks against which
it is customary for comparably situated companies to insure.

      4.20 Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right,
interest or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary or a Purchaser for
any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company, other than as
described in Schedule 4.20. No two Persons listed in Schedule 4.20 shall be
entitled to any commission, fee or other compensation with respect to the
purchase of Securities by the same Purchaser.

      4.21 No Directed Selling Efforts or General Solicitation. Neither the
Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has conducted any general
solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in
connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities.

      4.22 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 Company security or solicited any
offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect
reliance by the Company on Section 4(2) for the exemption from registration for
the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the
Securities under the Securities Act.

      4.23 Private Placement. The offer and sale of the Securities to the
Purchasers as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, subject to the accuracy of the Purchasers'
representations set forth herein.

      4.24 Questionable Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor, to the Company's Knowledge, any of their respective current or
former stockholders, directors,

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

officers, employees, agents or other Persons acting on behalf of the Company or

with their respective businesses: (a) used any corporate funds for unlawful

governmental officials or employees from corporate funds; (c) established or
maintained any unlawful or unrecorded fund of corporate monies or other assets;

Knowledge, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any
transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than as holders of stock
options and/or warrants, and 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 Company's Knowledge, any entity in which
any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

      4.26 Internal Controls. The Company is in material compliance with the
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the
Company. The Company and the 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 GAAP 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. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company's most recently filed period report under the Exchange Act, as
the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its
most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of
the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K) or,
to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company's internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain
a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

Agreements, or the Other Notes, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
(i) has any outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) is a party to any
contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under
which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument would
result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is in violation of any term of or in
default under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any

borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the
deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade payables
entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or

similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in
connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all
indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title

monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in
connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all
indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for

accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which
owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G)
above; and (y) "Contingent Obligation" means, as to any Person, any direct or
indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any
indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the
primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary
effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that
such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating
thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be
protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

      4.28 Solvency. Assuming that no event or condition shall have occurred
after the date hereof and prior to the Closing that would have a Material
Adverse Effect and subject to the Closing, the closings of the Other Notes, and
the closing of the acquisition of Gupta, the Company will not be Insolvent (as
defined below) after giving effect to the issuance of the Securities. For

value of the Company's assets is less than the amount required to pay the
Company's total indebtedness, (ii) the Company is unable to pay its debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured, or (iii) the Company intends to incur
or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as
such

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any
steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company
have any knowledge or reason to believe that its or any of its Subsidiaries'
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual
knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

      4.29 Gupta. Upon the Closing, the closings of the Other Notes, and the
closing of the acquisition of Gupta under the Gupta Purchase Agreement, the
Company represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by
Gupta Holdings, LLC (the "Seller") under the Gupta Purchase Agreement qualified
as to materiality shall be true and correct on the Closing Date, except to the
extent any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier
date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as
of such earlier date, and, the representations and warranties made by the Seller
under the Gupta Purchase Agreement not qualified as to materiality shall be true
and correct in all material respects on the Closing Date, except to the extent
any such representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in
which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of such earlier date, and that the Gupta Purchase Agreement
shall be in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                                   ARTICLE V
                          SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

      5.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements as of the date hereof (except to the extent any such
representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be as of such earlier date)
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement

      5.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on
an after-tax and after insurance recovery basis, each Purchaser and its
Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending
any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of
enforcement thereof) (collectively, "Losses") to which such Person may become
subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the
Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts
as they are incurred by such Person.

      5.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any
Person (the "Indemnified Person") of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of
any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 5.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify
the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, and

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

shall assume the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses; provided, however,
that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the
Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such
proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall
have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable
judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by
the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated
above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could
have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

                                   ARTICLE VI

Agreement. No later than the fourth trading day following the Closing Date, the
Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K attaching the press release
described in the foregoing sentence as well as copies of the Transaction
Documents. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in
the manner and time required by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the
name of any Purchaser in any filing with the SEC (other than any exhibits to
filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing
requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or Nasdaq, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or trading market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

      6.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of any
party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.

be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate
fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements.

      6.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such
Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such
Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no
Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with
monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has
been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a
transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Purchaser.

      6.15 Expenses. The parties hereto shall pay their own costs and expenses
in connection herewith, except that the Company shall pay Crestview Capital
Master, LLC $25,000 at Closing for legal fees and due diligence costs. The
Company shall reimburse the Purchasers upon demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchasers, including without limitation
reimbursement of attorneys' fees and disbursements, in connection with any
amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents. In the event that legal proceedings are commenced by any party to
this Agreement against another party to this Agreement in connection with this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the party or parties which do not
prevail in such proceedings shall severally, but not jointly, pay their pro rata
share of the reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such proceedings.

      6.16 Refinancing. The Company will be required to obtain the consent of a
majority in interest of the Purchasers prior to refinancing the Notes if the
interest rate on such refinancing will exceed 10% or if warrants issued to new
lenders will exceed 5% of the common stock of the Company, determined on a fully
diluted basis.

                           SECURED NOTES AND WARRANTS

      2.1 Subordinated Secured Notes and Warrants. The Company has authorized
the issuance, sale and delivery at the Closings (as defined below) to the
Purchasers of (A) subordinated secured notes, the form of which is attached as
Exhibit 1.B-1 or, in the case of the Gupta Note, Exhibit 1.B-2 hereto
(collectively, the "Notes"), and (B) warrants (the " Warrants"), the form of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1C, to purchase such number of shares of
common stock, $0.00001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company in
the respective amounts set forth in Exhibit 1.1A hereto, provided however that
the Purchaser of the Gupta Note shall not be entitled to any Warrants. The
authorized aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $4,000,000.
Notwithstanding payment by the Company to the holders of the Notes of any
principal and accrued interest thereon, the Warrants shall remain valid and
exercisable for shares of Common Stock as provided for therein. THE NOTES, AND
THE PURCHASERS' RIGHTS HEREUNDER, ARE SUBORDINATED PURSUANT TO, AND SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF, THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. Under the terms of the
Notes, the outstanding principal of the Notes, other than the Gupta Notes, may
be converted by the holder of the Note at any time into such number of Shares of
Common Stock equal to the amount of the outstanding principal under the Note
divided by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) which shall initially
be equal to $1.00. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Purchaser of the Gupta Note shall be granted no Warrants and shall
have no right to convert the Gupta Note to Shares of Common Stock.

                                      -3-

      2.2 Reservation of Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the filing of the
Amendment, which the Company undertakes to file on the Closing Date, the Company
has authorized and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve, free of
preemptive rights and other similar contractual rights of shareholders, a
sufficient number of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock to
satisfy the rights of conversion of the holders of the Notes, other than the
Gupta Notes, and the rights of exercise of the holders of the Warrants to
acquire Conversion Shares.

      2.3 Purchase Price and Closing. The Company agrees to issue, sell and
deliver to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon
the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree (a) to purchase the
principal amount of the Notes (together with the attendant Warrants) set forth
opposite their respective names in Exhibit 1.1A for the Closing. The closing of
the purchase, sale and delivery of the Notes and Warrants to be acquired by the
Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take
place at the offices of the Company at 151 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT, 06830
or such other place as the parties may agree. At the Closing, the Company will
deliver to each Purchaser the Notes and certificates for the attendant Warrants
that are purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing in exchange for a transfer
of funds to the account of the Company by wire transfer. The date and time of
the Closing shall be at 12:00 p.m. on January 28, 2005. The date of the Closing
is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."

severally, but not jointly, to the Company as follows:

            (a) Investment Representations. It is its present intention to
acquire the Notes and Warrants to be acquired by it for its own account (and it
will be the sole beneficial owner thereof) and that the Notes, and the Warrants
and the Conversion Shares, respectively, are being and will be acquired by it
for the purpose of investment and not with a view to distribution or resale
thereof except pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom. The acquisition by each Purchaser of the Notes and Warrants acquired
by it shall constitute a confirmation of this representation by each such
Purchaser. Each of the Purchasers further represents that it understands and
agrees that, until registered under the Securities Act or transferred pursuant
to the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 144A as promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), all certificates evidencing any of the Notes,
the Warrants or Conversion Shares, whether upon initial issuance or upon any
transfer thereof, shall bear a legend, prominently stamped or printed thereon,
reading substantially as follows:

            The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and may not be transferred
      except pursuant to an effective registration under the Act or in a
      transaction which qualifies as an exempt transaction under the Act and the
      rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

            (b) Access to Information. Each Purchaser or its representative
during the course of this transaction, and prior to the purchase of any Notes
and Warrants, has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers
from management of the Company concerning the terms

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

and conditions of the offering of the Notes and Warrants, and the additional
information, documents, records and books relative to its business, assets,
financial condition, results of operations and liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) of the Company.

            (c) General Access. Each Purchaser or its representative has
received and read or reviewed, and is familiar with, this Agreement and the
other agreements executed or delivered herewith, including the terms of the
Notes and Warrants, and confirms that all documents, records and books
pertaining to such Purchaser's investment in the Company and requested by such
Purchaser or its representative have been made available or delivered to him.

            (d) Sophistication and Knowledge. Each Purchaser or its
representative has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of
the Notes and Warrants. Each Purchaser can bear the economic risks of this
investment and can afford a complete loss of its investment.

            (e) Transfer Restrictions Imposed by Securities Laws. Each Purchaser
understands that the Notes, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and,
therefore, cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
such registration is available. Each Purchaser is and must be purchasing the
Notes, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares for investment for the account of
such Purchaser and not for the account or benefit of others, and not with any
present view toward resale or other distribution thereof. Each Purchaser agrees
not to resell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Notes, the Warrants
and the Conversion Shares purchased by such Purchaser except as permitted by
law, including, without limitation, any regulations under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. Purchasers are aware that Rule 144 or Rule
144A under the Securities Act may not be available as a basis for exemption from
registration of the Conversion Shares.

            (f) Lack of Liquidity. Each Purchaser has no present need for
liquidity in connection with its purchase of the Notes and Warrants.

            (g) Suitability and Investment Objectives. The purchase of the Notes
and Warrants by each Purchaser is consistent with the general investment
objectives of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the
Notes and Warrants involves a high degree of risk in view of the fact that,
among other things, the Company has not been operated profitably in the past,
and intends to complete a significant acquisition. The Company hereby
incorporates all risk factors set forth in the Company's filings under the
Exchange Act.

            (h) Accredited Investor Status. Each Purchaser is an "Accredited
Investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act.

      2.5 Brokers or Finders. Each Purchaser severally, and not jointly,
represents that no Person has or will have, as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or valid claim against or
upon the Company for any commission, fee or other

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

compensation as a finder or broker because of any act or omission by such
Purchaser or its respective agents, other than as described in Schedule 4.20.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

      The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that:

      4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. As of the Closing, each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on
its business as now conducted and to own its properties. Each of the Company and
its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and
is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
its ownership or leasing of property makes such qualification or leasing
necessary unless the failure to so qualify has not and could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.2 Authorization. Subject to the effectiveness of the filing of the
Amendment, the Company has full power and authority and has taken all requisite
action on the part of the

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for (i) the
authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, (ii) the
authorization of the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder or
thereunder, and (iii) the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance)
and delivery of the Securities. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability,
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally.

      4.3 Capitalization. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights and were issued in full
compliance with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of
third parties. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each
Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid,
nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights, were issued in full compliance
with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties
and are owned by the Company, beneficially and of record, subject to no lien,
encumbrance or other adverse claim. Other than pursuant to the Investors' Rights
Agreement (the "Investors' Agreement"), dated January __, 2005, among the
Company and certain Investors (as defined therein) when such is executed and
delivered, or pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights pertaining to the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Certificate of Designations") when such is filed and becomes effective, no
Person is entitled to pre-emptive or similar statutory or contractual rights
with respect to any securities of the Company. Other than pursuant to the
Investors' Agreement, or any agreements which have been filed as exhibits to the
SEC Filings (collectively, the "Material Contracts"), there are no voting
agreements, buy-sell agreements, options or rights of first purchase agreements
or other agreements of any kind among the Company and any of the securityholders
of the Company relating to the securities of the Company held by them. Other
than pursuant to the Investors' Agreement, or any of the Material Contracts, no
Person has the right to require the Company to register any securities of the
Company under the Securities Act, whether on a demand basis or in connection
with the registration of securities of the Company for its own account or for
the account of any other Person, other than pursuant to the Investors'
Agreement.

            The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any other
Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in the adjustment of the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

            The Company does not have outstanding stockholder purchase rights or
"poison pill" or any similar arrangement in effect giving any Person the right
to purchase any equity interest in the Company upon the occurrence of certain
events.

      4.4 Valid Issuance. The Notes have been duly and validly authorized. The
Warrants have been duly and validly authorized. Subject to the effectiveness of
the filing of the Amendment, upon the due conversion of the Notes, and/or upon
due exercise of the Warrants, the Conversion Shares, will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in
the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws and except
for those created by the Purchasers. Subject to the effectiveness of the filing
of the Amendment, the Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares of
capital stock for issuance upon the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of
the Warrants, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for
restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents or imposed by
applicable securities laws and except for those created by the Purchasers.

      4.5 Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
the Transaction Documents and the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities
require no consent of, action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Person,
governmental body, agency, or official other than the Amendment, filings that
have been made pursuant to applicable state securities laws and post-sale
filings pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws which the
Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods. Subject to the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser set forth in
Section 2 hereof, the Company has taken all action necessary to exempt (i) the
issuance and sale of the Securities, (ii) the issuance of the Conversion Shares
upon due exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) the other transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents from the provisions of any stockholder rights plan
or other "poison pill" arrangement, any anti-takeover, business combination or
control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or
any of its assets and properties may be subject and any provision of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that is or could reasonably be
expected to become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the issuance of the
Securities and the ownership, disposition or voting of the Securities by the
Purchasers or the exercise of any right granted to the Purchasers pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

the Exchange Act since the filing of the 10-K and prior to the date hereof

Subsidiaries are engaged in all material respects only in the business described

Warrants hereunder shall be used for the acquisition of Gupta Technologies, LLC,
and for working capital purposes.

Subsidiaries taken as a whole (as such business is presently conducted and as it
is proposed to be conducted) other than pursuant to the conversion of the
existing notes (the "Existing Bridge Notes") issued by the Company the proceeds
of which were used to pay purchase price deposits to the seller for the

its Subsidiaries have a valid and enforceable

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

right to use all third party Intellectual Property and Confidential Information
used or held for use in the respective businesses of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

            (d) The conduct of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' businesses as
currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with
(collectively, "Infringe") any Intellectual Property rights of any third party
or any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, and, to the Company's
Knowledge, the Intellectual Property and Confidential Information of the Company
and its Subsidiaries which are necessary for the conduct of Company's and each
of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted are not being Infringed by any third party.
There is no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Company's
Knowledge, threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that
concerns the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual
Property or Confidential Information of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the
Company's and its Subsidiaries' use of any Intellectual Property or Confidential
Information owned by a third party, and, to the Company's Knowledge, there is no
valid basis for the same.

            (e) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the other Transaction Documents will not result in the alteration, loss,
impairment of or restriction on the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries'
ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property or Confidential
Information which is necessary for the conduct of Company's and each of its
Subsidiaries' respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently
proposed to be conducted.

            (f) The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to
protect the Company's and its Subsidiaries' rights in their Intellectual
Property and Confidential Information. Each employee, consultant and contractor
who has had access to Confidential Information which is necessary for the
conduct of Company's and each of its Subsidiaries' respective businesses as
currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an
agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and
has executed appropriate agreements that are substantially consistent with the
Company's standard forms thereof. Except under confidentiality obligations,
there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company's or its
Subsidiaries' Confidential Information to any third party.

      4.16 Environmental Matters. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision or order of any
governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the
use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or relating to the
protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or
toxic substances (collectively, "Environmental Laws"), owns or operates any real
property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any Environmental
Laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any
Environmental Laws, and is subject to any claim relating to any Environmental
Laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the
aggregate; and there is no pending or, to the Company's Knowledge, threatened
investigation that might lead to such a claim.

      4.17 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, there are no
pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, its
Subsidiaries or any of its or their properties; and to the Company's Knowledge,
no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

      4.18 Financial Statements. The financial statements included in each SEC
Filing present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of the dates shown and its consolidated results of
operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis ("GAAP") (except as may be

as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Filings filed prior to the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those
incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and
nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of
which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      4.19 Insurance Coverage. The Company and each Subsidiary maintains in full
force and effect insurance coverage that is customary for comparably situated
companies for the business being conducted and properties owned or leased by the
Company and each Subsidiary, and the Company reasonably believes such insurance
coverage to be adequate against all liabilities, claims and risks against which
it is customary for comparably situated companies to insure.

      4.20 Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right,
interest or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary or a Purchaser for
any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement
or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company, other than as
described in Schedule 4.20. No two Persons listed in Schedule 4.20 shall be
entitled to any commission, fee or other compensation with respect to the
purchase of Securities by the same Purchaser.

      4.21 No Directed Selling Efforts or General Solicitation. Neither the
Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has conducted any general
solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in
connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities.

      4.22 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 Company security or solicited any
offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect
reliance by the Company on Section 4(2) for the exemption from registration for
the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the
Securities under the Securities Act.

                                      -15-

      4.23 Private Placement. The offer and sale of the Securities to the
Purchasers as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, subject to the accuracy of the Purchasers'
representations set forth herein.

      4.24 Questionable Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor, to the Company's Knowledge, any of their respective current or
former stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents or other Persons
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has on behalf of the Company
or any Subsidiary or in connection with their respective businesses: (a) used
any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other

none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the Company's
Knowledge, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any
transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than as holders of stock
options and/or warrants, and 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 Company's Knowledge, any entity in which
any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.

      4.26 Internal Controls. The Company is in material compliance with the
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the
Company. The Company and the 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 GAAP 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. The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company's most recently filed period report under the Exchange Act, as
the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its
most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of
the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of
Regulation S-K) or, to the Company's Knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Company's internal controls. The Company maintains and
will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and
administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act.

      4.27 Indebtedness and Other Contracts. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Filings, under the Material Contracts, this Agreement, any of the Transaction
Agreements, or the Other Notes, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
(i) has any outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) is a party to any
contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under
which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument would
result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is in violation of any term of or in
default under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any
Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result,
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a
party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the
performance of which, in the judgment of the Company's officers, has or is
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (x)
"Indebtedness" of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for
borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the
deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade payables
entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or
payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other
similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in
connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all
indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title
retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to
any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even
though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the
event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all
monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in
connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all
indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for
which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or
otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security
interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including
accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which
owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G)
above; and (y) "Contingent Obligation" means, as to any Person, any direct or
indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any
indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the
primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary
effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that
such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating
thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be
protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

      4.28 Solvency. Assuming that no event or condition shall have occurred
after the date hereof and prior to the Closing that would have a Material
Adverse Effect and subject to the Closing, the closings of the Other Notes, and
the closing of the acquisition of Gupta, the

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

Company will not be Insolvent (as defined below) after giving effect to the
issuance of the Securities. For purposes of this Section 4.28, "Insolvent" means
(i) the present fair saleable value of the Company's assets is less than the
amount required to pay the Company's total indebtedness, (ii) the Company is
unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, or (iii) the Company
intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its
ability to pay as such debts mature. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy
law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its or any
of its Subsidiaries' creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a
creditor to do so.

      4.29 Gupta. Upon the Closing, the closings of the Other Notes, and the
closing of the acquisition of Gupta under the Gupta Purchase Agreement, the
Company represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by
the Seller under the Gupta Purchase Agreement qualified as to materiality shall
be true and correct on the Closing Date, except to the extent any such
representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier
date, and, the representations and warranties made by the Seller under the Gupta
Purchase Agreement not qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in
all material respects on the Closing Date, except to the extent any such
representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date, and that the Gupta Purchase Agreement shall be
in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The
foregoing representations and warranties are of the Company only, and the Seller
does not make any representation or warranty to the Purchasers under this
Section 4.29.

                                    ARTICLE V
                          SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

      5.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements as of the date hereof (except to the extent any such
representation or warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case
such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be as of such earlier date)
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement

      5.2 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on
an after-tax and after insurance recovery basis, each Purchaser and its
Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending
any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of
enforcement thereof) (collectively, "Losses") to which such Person may become
subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such Person for all such
amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

      5.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any
Person (the "Indemnified Person") of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of
any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 5.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify
the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, and shall assume the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses;
provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the
extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In
any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person
shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the
reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to
the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Agreement. No later than the fourth trading day following the Closing Date, the
Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K attaching the press release
described in the foregoing sentence as well as copies of the Transaction
Documents. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in
the manner and time required by the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the
name of any Purchaser in any filing with the SEC (other than any exhibits to
filings made in respect of this transaction in accordance with periodic filing
requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory agency or Nasdaq, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

disclosure is required by law or trading market regulations, in which case the
Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

      6.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of any
party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

      6.4 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision in the Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, and except as hereinafter provided, changes in,
termination or amendments of or additions to this Agreement may be made, and
compliance with any covenant or provision set forth herein may be omitted or
waived, if the Company shall obtain consent thereto in writing from all of the
Purchasers. Any waiver or consent may be given subject to satisfaction of
conditions stated therein and any waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (x) no amendment,

and shall not discriminate against any particular Purchaser or Purchasers.

      6.5 Addresses for Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications provided for hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall be

of receipt) and mailed, telegraphed or delivered to each applicable party at the

      6.6 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and the Purchasers and their respective
heirs, successors and assigns, except that the Company shall not have the right
to delegate its obligations hereunder or to assign

<PAGE>

its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of
the holders of at all of the Notes.

agreements executed and delivered herewith constitute the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements
concerning the subject matter hereof.

      6.8 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the
Notes and the Warrants are severable and, in the event that any court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or
part of a provision contained in this Agreement or the terms of the Notes or the
Warrants shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement or the terms of the
Notes and the Warrants, but this Agreement and the terms of the Notes and the
Warrants shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or
unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never been contained
herein, and such provisions or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal
and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

      6.9 Confidentiality. Each Purchaser agrees that it will keep confidential
and will not disclose or divulge any confidential, proprietary or secret
information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant to
financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to
such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, or pursuant to visitation or
inspection rights previously granted to any Purchaser, unless such information
is known, or until such information becomes known, to the public; provided,
however, that a Purchaser may disclose such information (i) on a confidential
basis to its attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professionals to the
extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with its investment in
the Company, (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any of the Notes and the
Warrants from such Purchaser as long as such prospective purchaser agrees in
writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.9, (iii) to any
affiliate or partner of such Purchaser and (iv) as required by applicable law.

      6.10 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal
laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles
thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County
and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for
the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising
out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of
process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on
each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for
the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit,
action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto
irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any
such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED
SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

      6.11 Headings. Article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement
are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

      6.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart.

      6.13 Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon
the request of any Purchaser or the Company, the Company and the Purchasers
shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may
be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate
fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements.

      6.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such
Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such
Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no
Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with
monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has
been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a
transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Purchaser.

      6.15 Expenses. The parties hereto shall pay their own costs and expenses
in connection herewith, except that the Company shall pay Crestview Capital
Master, LLC $25,000 at Closing for legal fees and due diligence costs. The
Company shall reimburse the Purchasers upon demand for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchasers, including without limitation
reimbursement of attorneys' fees and disbursements, in connection with any
amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents. In the event that legal proceedings are commenced by any party to
this Agreement against another party to this Agreement in connection with this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the party or parties which do not
prevail in such proceedings shall severally, but not jointly, pay their pro rata
share of the reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such proceedings.
