                           REPEATER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                              CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
                               PURCHASE AGREEMENT

        THIS CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is
entered into as of November 25, 1998, by and among REPEATER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
a California corporation (the "Company"), and each of those persons and
entities, severally and not jointly, whose names are listed in the column
entitled "Purchaser" on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as EXHIBIT A
(which persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as
"Purchasers" and each individually as a "Purchaser").

                                    RECITALS

        WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the sale and issuance, on the terms
and conditions set forth herein, of up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000)
principal amount of convertible debentures (the "Debentures");

        WHEREAS, Purchasers desire to purchase the Debentures on the terms and
conditions set forth herein; and

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Debentures to
Purchasers on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

        1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE.

           1.1 AUTHORIZATION. On or prior to the Closing (as defined in Section
2 below), the Company shall have authorized the sale and issuance to Purchasers
of up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) principal amount of Convertible
Debentures (the "Debentures") in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. The
Company has, or prior to the Closing will have, adopted and filed the Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") in
substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C with the Secretary of State
of the State of California.

           1.2 SALE AND PURCHASE - CLOSING. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements
contained herein, at the Initial Closing (as hereinafter defined) and any
subsequent Closings, if any, the Company will issue and sell to the Purchasers,
and the Purchasers will buy from the Company, Debentures in the principal amount
specified opposite each Purchaser's name in the column entitled "Debentures,"
respectively, on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, for
the appropriate consideration specified on the Schedule of Purchasers, payable
by check or wire transfer.

                                       1.
<PAGE>   6

           1.3 SEPARATE PURCHASES. The Company's agreement with each of the
Purchasers is a separate agreement from the other Purchasers, and the sale of
the Debentures to each of the Purchasers is a separate sale from the other
Purchasers. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right
to approve or disapprove each investor.

           1.4 PAYMENTS. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made only by
check payable to the Company, wire transfer or cancellation of indebtedness of
the Company. Any Purchaser paying by wire transfer authorizes Cooley Godward LLP
to accept the Purchase Price into its trustee account and to disburse such funds
to the Company upon the Closing.

        2. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.

           2.1 CLOSING. The Closing under this Agreement shall take place at
10:00 a.m. on November 25, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), at the offices of Cooley
Godward LLP, Five Palo Alto Square, 3000 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California
94306, or at such other time or place as the Company may designate (the "Initial
Closing"). At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Debenture purchased by such Purchaser
from the Company against payment by or on behalf of such Purchaser of the
purchase price set forth opposite such Purchaser's name on EXHIBIT A (the
"Purchase Price").

           2.2 SUBSEQUENT SALES. To the extent that the aggregate amount of the
Debentures authorized for sale as described in Section 1.1 hereof is not sold
pursuant to this Agreement, at any time on or before the ninetieth (90th) day
following the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Company may sell up to all of the amount of such unsold Debentures to such
persons as the Company may determine, upon the same terms as the Debentures
purchased and sold hereunder. Any such sale shall be upon the same terms and
conditions as those contained herein, may occur on one or more occasions and
such persons or entities shall become parties to this Agreement and that certain
Sixth Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated of even date
herewith, by and among the Company and the Purchasers, the form of which is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the "Amended Rights Agreement"), and shall have
the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder and thereunder. Such persons
or entities may become parties to such agreements (i)(a) by executing copies of
such agreements which, as of the date hereof, provide for execution by them or
(b) by appending additional signature pages to such agreements containing their
signatures and (ii) by appending additional pages to or revising the Exhibit A
of each such agreement appropriately, and the Company is authorized to effect
any of such alternatives on one or more occasions without the further consent of
the Purchasers, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary.

           2.3 SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. In the event that there is more than one
closing, the term "Closing" shall apply to each such closing unless otherwise
specified and the term "Debentures" shall apply to all of the Debentures sold
and issued at each such closing.

        3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Except as set forth on
the Schedule of Exceptions attached hereto as EXHIBIT E, the Company hereby
represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:

                                       2.
<PAGE>   7

           3.1 ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the
laws of the State of California. The Company has full power and authority to own
and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of
its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary,
except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company has no
subsidiaries or affiliated companies and owns no equity securities of any other
corporation, limited partnership or similar entity.

           3.2 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized capital stock of the Company,
immediately prior to the Closing, will consist of 30,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, 2,404,782 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 14,210,077
shares of Preferred Stock; 1,228,409 shares of which are designated Series AA
Preferred Stock, all of which are issued and outstanding, 5,081,668 shares of
which are designated Series BB Preferred Stock, 4,246,316 of which are issued
and outstanding and 4,600,000 shares of which are designated Series CC Preferred
Stock, 4,402,907 of which are issued and outstanding and 3,300,000 shares of
Series DD Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding. All shares
of the Company's Common Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock, Series BB Preferred
Stock and Series CC Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the date hereof have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
Series AA Preferred Stock, Series BB Preferred Stock, Series CC Preferred Stock
and Series DD Preferred Stock are as stated in the Articles of Incorporation. As
of the Initial Closing, each share of Series AA Preferred Stock will be
convertible into Common Stock on approximately a 1.206-for-one basis, and each
share of Series BB Preferred Stock and Series CC Preferred Stock will be
convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the issued and outstanding shares of Series AA
Preferred Stock, Series BB Preferred Stock and Series CC Preferred Stock have
been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, when issued in accordance with
the Articles of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. Other than as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions, and except
as may be granted pursuant to the Amended Rights Agreement, there are no
outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive
rights), proxy or shareholder agreements, or agreements of any kind for the
purchase or acquisition from the Company of any of its securities.

           3.3 AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATIONS. All corporate action on the
part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the
authorization, sale and issuance of the Debentures pursuant hereto and, subject
to the receipt of appropriate notice or the occurrence of an event upon which
such conversion is required, the Series DD Preferred Stock, issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures (the "Conversion Shares") and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof (the "Conversion Common") pursuant to the
Articles of Incorporation and for the performance of the Company's obligations
hereunder and under the Debentures and the Amended Rights Agreement has been
taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Agreement and the Debentures,
when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,

                                       3.
<PAGE>   8

except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights; and (ii) as general principles of equity restrict the
availability of equitable remedies. The sale of the Debentures and the
subsequent conversion of Debentures into Conversion Shares and of Conversion
Shares into Conversion Common are not and will not be subject to any preemptive
rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied
with. The Conversion Shares and Conversion Common have been duly authorized by
the Company and when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Debentures and the Articles of Incorporation, the Conversion Shares and the
Conversion Common will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will
be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Debentures,
Conversion Shares and Conversion Common may be subject to restrictions on
transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as
otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.

           3.4 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser
its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, and
unaudited balance sheet as of September 25, 1998, and unaudited statement of
income for the six-month period ending on September 25, 1998 (collectively, the
"Financial Statements"), copies of which are attached hereto as EXHIBIT F. The
Financial Statements are complete and correct in all material respects, have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except as
disclosed therein, and present fairly the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the periods indicated; provided however, that the
unaudited financial statements are subject to normal recurring year-end audit
adjustments and do not contain all footnotes required under generally accepted
accounting principles.

its assets or rights, other than the disposal of unnecessary equipment or the

indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.

           3.6 CHANGES. Since September 25, 1998, there has not been:

               (a) Any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition,

prospects of the Company, including compensation agreements with the Company's
employees;

interfere with the use of his best efforts to promote the interests of the
Company or that would conflict with the Company's business as proposed to be
conducted. To the best knowledge of the Company, neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the
employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as proposed,
will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under
which any of such employees is now obligated. The

prior to their employment by the Company.

           3.9 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Company is not in
violation, breach or default of any term of its Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws, any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment,
decree, order or, to the best of its knowledge, any statute, rule, or regulation
applicable to the Company or by which the Company or its assets is bound which
would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities,
financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company, and, to the best of
the Company's knowledge, no event or condition has occurred or exists which,
with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a
violation, breach or default. The execution, delivery, and performance of and
compliance with this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Debentures
pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares and Conversion Common pursuant to
the Articles of Incorporation, will not result in any such violation, breach or
default or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term, or
result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company.

           3.10 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or currently threatened against the Company which might

prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current
equity ownership of the Company, nor to the best knowledge of the Company, is
there any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation,
actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company)
involving the prior employment of any of the Company's employees, their use in
connection with the Company's business of any information or techniques
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations
under any agreements with prior employers. The Company is not a party or subject
to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any

agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to

the best of the Company's knowledge after due investigation, the continued
employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the
Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any
such violation. The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such
violation has occurred. Each employee of the Company has executed a Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement in the form delivered to the Purchasers.

           3.13 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as required pursuant to the Amended
Rights Agreement, the Company is presently not under any obligation, and has not

<PAGE>   14

           4.1 REQUISITE POWER AND AUTHORITY. Purchaser has all necessary power
and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All action on Purchaser's part
required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been or
will be effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon its execution and delivery,
this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights; and (ii) as general principles of
equity restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

           4.2 CONSENTS. All consents, approvals, orders, authorizations,

the Debentures nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the
Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that the Debentures are being offered
and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities
Act based in part upon Purchaser's representations contained in the Agreement.
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

               (a) PURCHASER BEARS ECONOMIC RISK. Purchaser has substantial
experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of
securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the
capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of
this investment indefinitely unless the Debentures (or the Conversion Shares)
are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration
is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of
registering the Debentures, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common
Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption
from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if
available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion
of the Debentures or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the
amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose.

               (b) ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Purchaser is acquiring the
Debentures and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment
only, and not with a view towards their distribution.

               (c) PURCHASER CAN PROTECT ITS INTEREST. Purchaser represents that
by reason of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience,
Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Purchaser is not a corporation,
trust or partnership specifically formed for the purpose of consummating these
transactions.

               (d) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser represents that it is an
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

shall (a) not make any purchase of its stock during the one-year period
following the Closing Date having an aggregate value, when added to the
aggregate value of stock purchased by the Company during the one-year period
preceding the Closing Date (in each case determined as of the purchase date),
exceeding 5% of the aggregate value of all of the Company's stock (such value
determined as of the date one year prior to the Closing Date) without having
given the holders of the Series CC and Series DD Preferred prior notice of such
purchase and the opportunity to discuss with the Company means of achieving such

consultants a provision that permits the Company to delay any repurchase of
shares under vesting provisions by a period of time sufficient to facilitate
compliance with the covenant contained in clause (a) hereof or to assign its

Company proposes to amend the Articles of Incorporation, and such amendment
would entitle the Series DD Preferred to a vote if there were shares of Series
DD Preferred outstanding, then the Company shall solicit the consent of the
holders of the Debentures as though such Debentures had been converted to Series
DD Preferred.

           7.4 WAIVER OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Each Purchaser hereby waives
its rights under Section 5.1 of the Fifth Amended and Restated Investors' Rights

the Company shall have knowledge of any proposed Mandatory Prepayment Event, the
Company will give written notice (the "Company Notice") of such fact in the

shall have the right to accept such offer and require prepayment of the
Debentures held by such Holder by written notice to the Company (a "Debenture
Holder Notice") given not later than 20 days after receipt of the Company
Notice. The Company shall on the Mandatory Prepayment Event Prepayment Date
prepay all of the Debentures held by Holders which have so accepted such offer

             (b) Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding any failure on

than 90 days nor less than 30 days following the date of such Holder's notice),
the Company shall prepay all of the Debentures held by such Holder, together

Holders of the Debentures and each of such other Holders shall then and
thereupon have the right to accept the Company's offer to prepay the Debentures
held by such Holder and require prepayment of such Debentures by delivery of a
Debenture Holder Notice within 20 days following receipt of such the Company
Notice; provided only that any date for prepayment of such Holder's Debentures
shall be the Mandatory Prepayment Event Delayed Prepayment Date. On the
Mandatory Prepayment Event Delayed Prepayment Date, the Company shall prepay the
Debentures of each Holder thereof which has accepted such offer of prepayment at
a prepayment price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures
so to be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment.

        4.3 MATURITY; SURRENDER, ETC. In the case of each complete prepayment of
Debentures pursuant to this Section 4, the principal amount of each Debenture to
be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such
prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such
date. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such
principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest, interest
on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Debenture prepaid in full
shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and
no Debenture shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any
Debenture.

thereafter), issue and deliver to such Holder a certificate or certificates for
the number of shares to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion
(bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities
laws), together with any other securities and property to which the Holder is
entitled upon such conversion under the terms of this Debenture, including a
check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described in Section
9.4. Any conversion of this Debenture pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the closing of the issuance and sale of
shares as described in Section 9.2 and on and after such date the Person
entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated
for all purpose as the record Holder of such shares as of such date.

        9.4 FRACTIONAL SHARES; INTEREST; EFFECT OF CONVERSION. No fractional
shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Debenture. In lieu of the Company
issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this
Debenture, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by the fraction of a share not
issued pursuant to the previous sentence. In addition, the Company shall pay to
the Holder any interest accrued on the amount converted and on the amount to be
paid by the Company pursuant to the previous sentence.

10. CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

        10.1 ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS AND SUBDIVISIONS. In the event the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fixes
a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Series DD Preferred or the determination of holders of Series DD
Preferred entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Series DD Preferred or other securities or rights
convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Series DD Preferred (hereinafter referred to as
"Series DD Preferred Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such
holder for the additional shares of Series DD Preferred or the Series DD
Preferred Equivalents (including the additional shares of Series DD Preferred
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or
the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date
is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Debenture shall be appropriately
decreased so that the number of shares of Series DD Preferred issuable upon
conversion of this Debenture shall be increased in proportion to such increase
of outstanding shares.

        10.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR REVERSE STOCK SPLITS. If the number of shares of
Series DD Preferred outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased
by a combination of the outstanding shares of Series DD Preferred then following
the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this Debenture
shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Series DD
Preferred issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.

                                      13.
<PAGE>   56

        10.3 ADJUSTMENTS FOR DILUTING ISSUANCES. In the event the Company shall
Issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Articles), then in
such event, the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Articles) shall
be reduced pursuant to Section 4 of the Articles.

        10.4 ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If the
Series DD Preferred issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture is changed
upon the approval of a majority of the holders of Series DD Preferred (on an
as-if-converted basis) into the same or a different number of shares of any
class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares of stock dividend
of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for
elsewhere in this subsection), then, and in any such event, the Holder shall
have the right thereafter to convert this Debenture into the kind and amount of
stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, or other change by holders of the number of shares of Series
DD Preferred into which this Debenture would have been converted immediately
prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change.

        10.5 CONVERSION OF SERIES DD PREFERRED. Should all of the Company's
Series DD Preferred be, or if outstanding would be, at any time prior to full
payment of this Debenture, converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock
in accordance with Section 4 of the Articles, then this Debenture shall
immediately become convertible into that number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock equal to the number of shares of the Common Stock that would have
been received if this Debenture had been converted in full and the Series DD
Preferred received thereupon had been converted as a result of such event, and
the Conversion Price shall be immediately adjusted to equal the quotient
obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate Conversion Price of the maximum number of
shares of Series DD Preferred into which this Debenture was convertible
immediately prior to such conversion, by (b) the number of shares of Common for
which this Debenture is convertible immediately after such conversion. In any
such event, reference to Series DD Preferred Stock in this Section 10 shall be
deemed to be reference to Common Stock.

        10.6 NOTICES OF RECORD DATE, ETC. In the event of:

             (a) Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any
class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend
payable out of earned surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash
dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for,
purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right; or

             (b) Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other Person or any
consolidation or merger involving the Company; or

             (c) Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company (including any deemed liquidation pursuant to the
Articles),

                                      14.
<PAGE>   57

the Company will mail to Holder of this Debenture at least twenty (20) days
prior to the earliest date specified above, a notice specifying (i) the date on
which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right; and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is expected to become effective and the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

        10.7 RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Series DD Preferred solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
this Debenture into such number of its shares of Series DD Preferred (and shares
of its Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such Series DD Preferred or
this Debenture following any of the events specified in Section 10.5) as shall
from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Debenture; and
if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Series DD
Preferred (and shares of its Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such
Series DD Preferred or this Debenture following any of the events specified in
Section 10.5) shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, without limitation of such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Debenture, the Company will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Series DD Preferred (and shares
of its Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such Series DD Preferred or
this Debenture following any of the events specified in Section 10.5) to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior
written consent of the Required Holders, except in connection with a merger,

and the Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs,

16. USURY.

        Anything in this Debenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall never be required to pay interest on this Debenture at a rate in excess of
the Highest Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined), and if the effective rate of
interest which would otherwise be payable under this Debenture would exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate, or if the maturity of this Debenture is accelerated for any
reason before the Maturity Date or if the Holder shall otherwise receive any
unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest
which would increase the effective rate of interest payable under this Debenture
to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, or in the event of conversion of

excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be credited to the principal of this
Debenture. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all
calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Holder under this Debenture that are made for the purpose of determining whether
such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, shall be made to the extent permitted
by applicable usury laws (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating,
and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of this
Debenture all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the
Holder in connection herewith. The "Highest Lawful Rate" shall mean the maximum
rate of interest which the Holder is permitted by applicable law to contract
for, charge, or receive and as to which the Company could not successfully
assert a claim or defense of usury.

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

          that, save only as and to the extent fairly disclosed to the Purchaser
          in this
<PAGE>

          agreement or in the Disclosure Letter (other than specifically in

5.1.1     is now and will be at Completion true and accurate; and

5.1.2     is not to be affected or limited by any previous or other disclosures,
          express or implied, to the Purchaser, its officers, representatives or

          unless such misrepresentation or omission was made fraudulently in

6         BREACH OF WARRANTY
----------------------------

6.        Without restricting the rights or the ability of the Purchaser to
          claim damages on any basis, if it shall be proven that any matter
          which is the subject of any of the Warranties is not as represented,
          warranted or undertaken then, if the Purchaser shall so elect by
          notice in writing to them, the Vendors shall (within 21 days after
          demand being made by the Purchaser) pay to the Purchaser:-

6.1       a sum equal to the amount by which the value (or amount) at Completion
          of any asset or liability of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
          (computed for this purpose on the basis that full provision was made
          for the facts and circumstances in relation to which such breach
          arose) was less or, in the case of a liability, greater than the value
          (or amount) at Completion of such asset or
<PAGE>

          liability (computed for this purpose on the assumption that the facts
          and circumstances had been such as to involve no such breach); and

6.2       all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company, the
          Subsidiaries and/or the Purchaser as a result of such breach.

7         LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
---------------------------------

7.1       The following provisions of this clause 7 shall operate to limit the
          liability of the Vendors under the Warranties and where expressly
          stated, the liability of the Covenantors under clause 3.1 of the Tax
          Deed and references to "breach", "claim" and "liability" (and any
                                  -------   -----       ---------
          similar expression) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be
          references to a breach of or a claim or liability arising under the
          Warranties or clause 3.1 of the Tax Deed (as the case may be)
          notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this agreement.

7.2.1     No claim shall be made under the Warranties or clause 3.1 of the Tax
          Deed unless the Vendors shall have been given written notice of that
          claim (specifying the breach to which such claim shall relate and to
          the extent which it is reasonably possible to do so, an estimate of
          the amount of such claim) by or on behalf of the Purchaser prior to 30
          November 2001 (in the case of liability relating to a matter other
          than Taxation) or the seventh anniversary of Completion (in the case
          of liability relating to Taxation) other than such a liability which
          shall arise from fraud or the wilful withholding of information in
          which case there shall be no limitation;

7.2.2     If the Purchaser becomes aware that a third party has made a claim
          against the Group which may in turn directly lead to a claim by the
          Purchaser against the Vendors for a breach of Warranty, the Purchaser
          will consult with the Vendors' Representatives about what response the
          Group should make to such third party's actions, but the Purchaser
          shall not be obliged in any way to comply with any of the Vendors
          Representatives recommendations.

7.3.1     Each Vendor shall be jointly and severally liable with any other
          Vendor who shall also be his or her Relative for any liability which
          either of them shall have pursuant to this agreement or clause 3.1 of
          the Tax Deed.

7.3.2     The liability under the Warranties and clause 3.1 of the Tax Deed of
          each Vendor together with any other Vendor who shall also be his or
          her Relative
<PAGE>

          shall be limited to the amount of the Consideration which shall have
          been paid to those Vendors at the date on which the claim shall be
          settled provided that the Purchaser shall also be entitled to set off
          the balance of any claims which it may have against such Vendors
          against any further Consideration which may be or become payable to
          them.

7.4       It is acknowledged by the parties that if the Vendors shall compensate
          the Purchaser on a contractual basis, the amount they shall pay shall
          be limited to the diminution in the value of the Shares, plus the
          reasonable and proper costs of pursuing the claims, and not any
          accrued interest on the claim or other consequence suffered by the
          Purchaser as a result of the breach.

7.5       The Purchaser shall not make any claims against the Vendors in respect
          of any breach of any of the Warranties or under clause 3.1 of the Tax
          Deed unless the aggregate amount of such claims shall (after taking
          into account any claims already made under the Warranties or clause
          3.1 of the Tax Deed) exceed (Pounds)100,000 whereupon the Vendors
          shall be liable for the full amount of such claims and not merely such
          excess.

7.6       Any such claim under the Warranties or clause 3.1 of the Tax Deed
          which may be made shall (if it has not been previously satisfied,
          settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be withdrawn at the expiration of
          nine months from the date of giving notice of such claim unless legal
          proceedings in respect thereof have been commenced by the issuing and
          service of such proceedings against the Vendors prior to the expiry of
          such nine month period.

7.7       Payment of any claim under this agreement or the Warranties or clause
          3.1 of the Tax Deed shall pro tanto satisfy and discharge any other
          claim under this agreement or the Warranties or clause 3.1 of the Tax
          Deed which is capable of being made in respect of the same subject
          matter.

7.8       No liability shall attach to the Vendors in respect of a claim under
          this agreement or the Warranties to the extent that:-

7.8.1     such claim arises as a consequence of a change in the law or a change
          or withdrawal of any previously published practice or concession of
          any tax authority after the date of this agreement;
<PAGE>

7.8.2     such claim arises as the result of any provision or reserve made in
          respect thereof in the Accounts being insufficient by reason of any
          increase in rates of Taxation made after the date hereof or arises as
          the result of the retrospective imposition of Taxation as a
          consequence in the law enacted after the date of this agreement;

7.8.3     a specific allowance provision or reserve in respect thereof is made
          in the Accounts or in the Relevant Accounts to be prepared in
          accordance with the sixth schedule; or

          Completion or any subsequent change thereafter or by any change in the
          accounting policies of any Group Member after Completion.

          pursuant to sub-clause 7.8 shall first be taken into account for the

          clause 7.5.

          agreement or in respect of a claim under the Warranties and the

          the repayment by the relevant Group Member to the Vendors of so much
          of the amount paid by the third party as shall be so referable to that

          obligation to make any payment to the Purchaser in respect of such
          claim until such time as the contingent liability shall become an
          actual liability, save that if the Purchaser has notified the Vendors
          of such a contingent claim within the time periods set out in clause
          7.2, the Purchaser shall not be precluded from bringing a claim at

          or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of the Vendors in
          connection with or arising out of the sale of the Shares and which is
          not contained in this agreement shall give rise to any liability on
          the part of the maker or makers thereof

7.13      The Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim that any fact or
          circumstance constitutes a breach of any of the Warranties if such

          in full a claim for breach of a Warranty and the Purchaser or the
          Group or their respective successors or assigns (as the case may be)
          shall be entitled to recover any sum ("the Recoverable Sum") from some
                                                 -------------------
          other person, firm or company (other than an employee of the Company)
          which shall be solely referable to the matter giving rise to that
          claim;

7.14.2    Where this sub-clause 7.14 shall apply, the Purchaser shall procure
          that it or the Group (as the case may be) shall pursue a claim for the
          Recoverable Sum and account to the Vendors for any part of the
          Recoverable Sum which it or the Group shall recover (after having
          deducted any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Purchaser or
          the Group) up to the amount paid to the Purchaser by the Vendors in
          settlement of the claim for the breach of the relevant warranty.

          Recoverable Sum shall only be pursued at the Vendors' cost and subject
          to the Purchaser or the Group being indemnified and secured by the
          Vendors to the

          liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses thereby incurred.

7.14.4    Neither the Purchaser nor the Group shall be required to make any
          claim for the Recoverable Sum if in the Purchaser's reasonable opinion
          such claims may harm the goodwill or profitability of the Purchaser or
          any company which should be a subsidiary or holding company of either
          the Purchaser or the Company.

7.15      The amount or amounts of any successful claim or claims against the
          Vendors under or in respect of the Warranties shall be deemed to
          constitute a reduction in the Consideration.

          any claim for breach of any of the Warranties or otherwise obtain
          reimbursement or restitution more than once in respect of any one

          to be a liability equal to the amount (as appropriate) of:

2.3.1     Taxation which use of the relevant Relief would have saved (assuming
          Taxation to be otherwise payable); or

2.3.2     the repayment of Taxation to which the Company would otherwise have
          been entitled.

2.4       The covenants contained in this deed apply where the liability in
          question arises as a result of one or more Events or the combined
          effect of more than one Event, where one such Event occurred on or
          before Completion.

2.5       The covenants contained in this deed shall be construed as separate
          and independent and none of them shall be affected or restricted by
          any other except to the extent that any payment made by the
          Covenantors and received by the Purchaser in respect of one covenant
          shall discharge the same liability under the other covenants which
          shall arise out of the same subject matter.

3.1.3     any liability to Taxation of the Company for which it is not primarily
          liable in respect of, by reference to or in consequence of any Event
          which occurred or is deemed to have occurred on or before Completion;

3.1.4     any liability to Taxation of the Company which is also a liability to
          Taxation of another person and which is payable by the Company by
          virtue of the other person failing to discharge such liability to
          Taxation and of the Company being at any time prior to Completion a
          member of the same group as any other person or otherwise connected
          with or related to such other person for Taxation purposes;

3.1.5     any Taxation for which the Company would have become liable pursuant
          to clauses 3.1.1 to 3.1.4 (inclusive) but for the utilisation or set
          off of some Relief;

3.1.6     the loss, reduction, modification, nullification or cancellation of
          some Relief occurring on or before Completion where such Relief would
          otherwise be available to the Company (disregarding for this purpose
          any other Relief);

3.1.7     any Taxation arising in respect of or in connection with any amounts
          paid or payable pursuant to or otherwise in connection with this deed;
          and

3.1.8     all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in
          enforcing the provisions of this deed.

          this deed shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or
          withholdings or rights of counterclaim or set-off unless the deduction
          or withholding is required by law.

3.2.2     If the Covenantors are required by law to make any deduction or
          withholding from any payment under this deed, the sum due from the
          Covenantors in respect of such payment shall be increased to the
          extent necessary to ensure that after the making of such deduction or
          withholding the Purchaser receives and retains a net sum equal to the
          sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been
          required to be made provided that if the Purchaser subsequently
          obtains a credit against a liability to Taxation in respect of which
          the Covenantors are not liable to make a payment under this deed and
          which would not have arisen but for such deduction or withholding, the
          Purchaser shall repay to the Covenantors an amount equal to the lesser
          of
<PAGE>

          the credit received and the increased payment by the Covenantors under
          this clause.

4         FURTHER COVENANTS

          Completion to deduct, withhold or account for Taxation.

5         EXCLUSIONS
          ----------

5.1       The covenants in clause 3.1 shall not apply to any liability to
          Taxation to the extent that:-

5.1.1     it arises as a consequence of any transaction in the ordinary course
          of business of the Company in the period from the Balance Sheet Date
          to Completion;

5.1.2     it arises as a consequence of a change in the law or a change or
          withdrawal of any previously published practice or concession of any
          Taxation authority of general application in any such case after the
          date hereof;

5.1.3     it arises as the result of any provision or reserve made in respect
          thereof in the Accounts being insufficient by reason of any increase
          in rates of Taxation made after the date hereof;

5.1.4     it would not have arisen but for a voluntary act, omission or
          transaction of the Purchaser or of the Company effected after
          Completion otherwise than in the ordinary course of business (unless
          pursuant to an obligation incurred prior to the date of this deed, or
          taking place at the request of any of the Covenantors) and which the
          Purchaser or the Company was, or ought reasonably to have been, aware
          could give rise to a liability to Taxation;
<PAGE>

5.1.5     a provision or reserve in respect thereof is made in the Accounts;

5.1.6     it results from or is increased or extended by the change of the
          accounting reference date of the Company after Completion or by any
          change in the accounting policies of the Company after Completion
          other than to comply with generally accepted accounting principles.

5.2       For the purposes of clause 5.1.1 (and without prejudice to the
          generality thereof) none of the following shall be regarded as arising
          or being in the ordinary course of business of the Company:

5.2.1     a liability arising under part XVII Taxes Act;

5.2.2     a distribution within the meaning of section 209 Taxes Act;

5.2.3     an acquisition, disposal or supply or deemed acquisition disposal or
          supply of assets, goods, services or business facilities of any kind
          (including a loan of money or a letting, hiring or licensing of
          tangible or intangible property) for a consideration which is treated
          for Taxation purposes as different from the actual consideration paid
          or received;

5.2.4     an event which results in the Company being liable for Taxation for
          which it is not primarily liable;

5.2.5     a liability arising as a result of a failure by the Company to deduct,
          withhold or account for Taxation;

5.2.6     a liability arising as a result of the Company ceasing for Taxation
          purposes to be a member of any group or associated with any other
          company.

5.3       The provisions of clauses 7.1, 7.2.1, 7.3.1, 7.3.2, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and
          7.9 of the Agreement shall apply hereto as if set out in full in
          clause 5.1 above, but having made any necessary changes to give effect
          to this provision.

6         WAIVER
          ------

          No delay or omission of the Purchaser in exercising any rights under
          this deed shall prejudice such rights or be construed as a waiver or
          partial waiver of such rights, nor shall it exclude the further
          exercise of such rights.

7         PAYMENT
          -------

7.1       The Covenantors shall pay any amounts due under this deed in sterling
          in cleared funds:
<PAGE>

7.1.1     not less than five business days prior to the date on which the
          Taxation in question is payable to the authority or official or person
          demanding it; or

7.1.2     where a liability to Taxation relates to the loss, nullification or
          cancellation of a right to a repayment of Taxation, not less than five
          business days prior to the date when the Company would have been
          entitled to receive a repayment of Taxation were it not for its loss,
          nullification or cancellation; or

7.1.3     where a liability to Taxation would have arisen but for the use of any
          Relief, not less than five business days prior to the date when the
          Taxation which would otherwise have been saved becomes due and payable
          to the authority or official demanding it; or

7.1.4     where a liability to Taxation arises which would not have arisen but
          for the loss, cancellation or nullification of a Relief, not less than
          five business days prior to the date on which such Taxation is due and
          payable to the authority or official or person demanding it; or

7.1.5     in respect of any other amounts due under this deed, within five
          business days after the Purchaser shall make a demand for such
          amounts.

7.2       Any sums not paid by the Covenantors on the due date for payment as
          specified in this clause shall bear interest (which shall accrue from
          day to day after as well as before any judgment for the same) at the
          annual rate of 4 percentage points above the base rate of Barclays
          Bank plc from time to time from the due date up to and including the
          day of actual payment of such sums, such interest to be compounded
          quarterly and paid by the Covenantors on demand by the Purchaser.

8         CONDUCT OF CLAIMS
          -----------------

8.1       The Purchaser shall or shall procure that the Company shall give
          notice to the Covenantors as soon as reasonably practicable (and in
          any event in the case of an assessment or demand which is subject to a
          time limit for appeal by the later of 10 business days after receipt
          of such assessment or demand or 15 business days before the expiry of
          such time limit) after it shall become aware of any Claim in respect
          of which a claim may be made pursuant to this deed giving any
          reasonable details of the Claim of which the Purchaser is then aware.
<PAGE>

8.2       The Purchaser shall and shall procure that the Company shall take such
          action and provide such relevant information and documentation as the
          Covenantors may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal,
          compromise or defend any Claim and any adjudication in respect thereof
          ("dispute") subject to the Purchaser and the Company being indemnified
            -------
          and secured to the Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction by the
          Covenantors against all losses, costs, expenses, damages, interest,
          penalties and surcharges thereby incurred.

8.3       Subject to the provisions of this clause 8, any dispute relating to a
          liability to Taxation shall be conducted by the Covenantors but:

8.3.1     the Covenantors shall keep the Purchaser fully informed of all
          relevant matters and shall promptly forward or procure to be forwarded
          to the Purchaser copies of all relevant correspondence and other
          relevant information and documentation;

8.3.2     all communications written or otherwise relating to the dispute which
          are to be transmitted to a Taxation authority shall first be submitted
          to the Purchaser for approval and shall only be finally transmitted if
          such approval is given (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
          or delayed);

8.3.3     the appointment of solicitors or other professional advisers shall be
          subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser (such approval
          not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

8.3.4     the Covenantors shall make no settlement or compromise of the dispute
          nor agree any matter in the conduct of such dispute which is likely to
          increase the amount thereof or adversely affect the future liability
          of the Purchaser or the Company to Taxation without the prior approval
          of the Purchaser.

8.4       The Purchaser or the Company may without reference to any of the
          Covenantors admit, settle, discharge, compromise or otherwise deal
          with any outstanding or future Claim (without prejudice to their
          rights under this deed) if:

8.4.1     the Covenantors serve a notice on the Company or the Purchaser to the
          effect that in relation to any such dispute the Covenantors do not
          wish to take up or continue the conduct thereof;
<PAGE>

8.4.2     a period of 10 business days has expired following the service of
          notice by the Purchaser or, as the case may be, the Company on the
          Covenantors pursuant to clause 8.1 where either the Covenantors have
          not made a request to the Purchaser in accordance with clause 8.2 or
          the Covenantors have made such a request but have failed to provide a
          duly executed indemnity and security in the manner reasonably
          stipulated by the Purchaser within the said period;

8.4.3     a period of 10 business days has expired following the service of
          notice (other than a notice under clause 8.1) by the Purchaser or the
          Company on the Covenantors to the effect that the Covenantors are not
          properly and effectively conducting the dispute, if by the expiry of
          that period the Covenantors have not taken steps properly and
          effectively so to conduct the dispute; or

8.4.4     in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, the Covenantors or the
          Company have committed any acts or omissions prior to Completion which
          constitute fraud, wilful default or fraudulent conduct.

8.5       The Covenantors shall be bound to accept for the purposes of the
          covenants contained in this deed any admission, settlement, discharge
          or compromise of any Claim and the outcome of any proceedings relating
          thereto made or arrived at in accordance with the procedures set out
          in clause 8.4.

8.6       If the Covenantors do not exercise their right to request the
          Purchaser to take action pursuant to clause 8.2, they shall supply the
          Company and the Purchaser free of charge with all relevant
          information, books, papers and other documents in the possession or
          under the control of all or any of them and shall give or procure the
          giving (as appropriate) of such statements and other reasonable co-
          operation by the Covenantors as the Company or the Purchaser may
          reasonably request or require for the purpose of resisting any Claim.

9.        RECOVERY
          ---------

9.1       If the Company or the Purchaser recovers from any third party
          (including but not limited to any competent authority for Taxation
          purposes) any sum in respect of a liability to Taxation for which a
          claim could or has been made against the Covenantors pursuant to this
          deed, the amount so recovered, together with any interest or repayment
          supplement thereon paid by such third party less any Taxation
          chargeable on the Company or the Purchaser in respect
<PAGE>

          of such sum or interest and less the costs incurred by the Company or
          the Purchaser in effecting such recovery shall:

9.1.1     if the Covenantors have at the time of recovery made payment pursuant
          to this deed in respect of that liability to Taxation, be paid by the
          Purchaser within 5 business days of receipt thereof to the Covenantors
          provided that the amount so paid shall not exceed the amount paid by
          the Covenantors;

9.1.2     if a claim has been made by the Purchaser pursuant to this deed in
          respect of that liability to Taxation but the Covenantors have not at
          the time of recovery made payment in respect thereof, be set against
          and reduce (to the extent of the sum recovered) the claim against the
          Covenantors in respect of such liability to Taxation; and

9.1.3     if no claim has been made by the Purchaser in respect of that
          liability to Taxation at the time of recovery, be set against and
          reduce (to the extent of the sum recovered) any claim that
          subsequently may be made against the Covenantors in respect of such
          liability to Taxation.

9.2       If the Company becomes aware that it is entitled to make a recovery in
          accordance with clause 9.1 in circumstances where the Purchaser has
          made a claim under this deed which the Covenantors have paid to the
          Purchaser in full, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that the
          Company shall, subject in either case to being indemnified and secured
          to its reasonable satisfaction against all costs and expenses which it
          may incur, take such steps as the Covenantors may reasonably request
          to recover such sum and shall keep the Covenantors reasonably informed
          of the progress of such attempted recovery.  Any sum so recovered by
          the Company or the Purchaser less the costs of recovery and any
          Taxation thereon shall be dealt with in accordance with clause 9.1
          above.

10        RELIEFS AND CORRESPONDING SAVINGS
          ---------------------------------

10.1      Where an amount of Taxation paid by the Company in respect of which
          the Covenantors have made payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this
          deed has resulted in a Relief which would not otherwise have arisen
          ("Relevant Relief"), the Purchaser shall repay to the Covenantors an
          amount equal to the
<PAGE>

          lesser of the reduction in the Company's liability to Taxation as a
          result of the utilisation of the Relevant Relief and the payment made
          by the Covenantors.

10.2      Any repayment required to be made under clause 10.1 shall be made on
          the date on which the Company's liability to make a payment of
          Taxation is reduced as a result of utilisation of the Relevant Relief.

11        REDUCTION OF PURCHASE PRICE
          ---------------------------
