        2.    Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Shares; Subscription Date.  

         2.1  At the Closing (as defined in Section 3), the Company will sell to the Investor, and the Investor will purchase from the Company, upon the

        2.2  The Company proposes to enter into this same form of Stock Purchase Agreement with certain other investors (the
"Other Investors") and expects to complete sales of Shares to them. (The Investor and the Other Investors are hereinafter sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Investors," and this Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreements executed by the Other Investors are hereinafter sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Agreements.") The Company may accept in its sole discretion executed Agreements from Investors for the purchase of
Shares commencing upon the date on which the Company provides the Investors with the proposed purchase price per Share and concluding upon the date (the "Subscription
Date") on which the Company has (i) executed Agreements with Investors for the purchase of Shares in the amount of at least $15,000,000 and (ii) notified Stifel,
Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (in its capacity as Placement Agent for the Shares, the "Placement Agent") in writing that it is no longer
accepting Agreements from Investors for the purchase of Shares. 

        2.3  Independent Investors. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of
the Investors is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and that each Investor has separately negotiated the
terms of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any agreement or document relating to this transaction, and no action taken by any Investor, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, or
to create any presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as, a group with respect to the obligations or
transaction hereunder. No Investor has relied upon any other Investor for advice in entering into the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights hereunder 

        2.4  Investor acknowledges that the Company shall pay the Placement Agent a fee in respect of the sale of Shares to the
Investor. 

        3.    Delivery of the Shares at Closing. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the
"Closing") shall occur at a place and time (the "Closing Date") to be specified by the Company and the
Placement Agent, and of which the Investors will be notified in advance by the Placement Agent. At the Closing, the Company shall arrange delivery to the Investor of one or more stock certificates
representing the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, each such certificate to be registered in the name of the Investor or, if so indicated on the Stock Certificate
Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the name of a nominee designated by the Investor. Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificate(s), Investor shall wire immediately
available funds in the amount of the purchase price for the Shares being purchased hereunder as set forth on the Signature Page hereto. 

        4.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. Except as otherwise described in this Agreement, in the
Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and all other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") since December 31, 2001, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "SEC
Documents"), in the Company's press releases since December 31, 2001 set forth on Section 4 of the

  
Disclosure Schedule (defined below, the SEC Documents, press releases and this Agreement, including schedules hereto, are collectively referred to herein as the "Company
Information"), which qualify the following representations and warranties, other than Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.13 in their entirety, the Company hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Investor, as follows: 

        4.1  Organization. Each subsidiary of the Company that meets the definition of
"Significant Subsidiary" as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a
"Subsidiary" and collectively "Subsidiaries"), is listed in Section 4.1 of the Company's
Disclosure Schedule attached hereto (the "Company Disclosure Schedule"). Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly incorporated and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be so duly incorporated and validly existing would not be reasonably likely to result in a
material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, properties, assets or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis ("Material Adverse
Effect"). Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and
is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or transacts business except where the failure to be so qualified would not be
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such
power and authority or qualification. 

        4.2  Due Authorization. The Company has all requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreements (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), and the Agreements have been duly authorized and validly
executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and legally binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as rights to
indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

        4.3  Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of the
Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company under the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby will not (A) conflict with or constitute a violation of, or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, (i) any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
indebtedness, or any lease, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or
by which they or their property is bound, where such conflict, violation or default is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the subsidiaries of the Company, other than the
Subsidiaries or (iii) any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority binding upon the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or their property, where such conflict, violation or default is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any
obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would be

  
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative
agency, or other governmental body in the United States is required for the execution and delivery of the Agreements and the valid issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to the
Agreements, other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for any securities filings required to be made under federal or state securities laws, which filings, if any, shall be made prior
to Closing. 

        4.4  Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is described in the
Company's SEC Documents as of the dates set forth therein. Other than (a) as disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (b) grants or issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans

2002, the Company had 60,979,503 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Shares to be sold pursuant to the Agreements have been duly authorized, and when issued and paid for in accordance with the
terms of the Agreements, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly
and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal, state and foreign securities laws, and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights
or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. Except as set forth in or contemplated by the Company's SEC Documents and other than as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Company
Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding rights (including, without limitation, preemptive rights), warrants, calls, contracts, demands subscription or other rights or options to acquire, or
instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, any unissued shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company, or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of
any kind to which the Company is a party and relating to the issuance or sale of any capital stock by the Company, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights, warrants or
options. Without limiting the foregoing, no preemptive right, co-sale right, registration right, right of first refusal or other similar right exists with respect to the issuance and sale
of the Shares. Except as disclosed in the Company's SEC Documents, there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Common Stock to which the
Company is a party. 

        4.5  Legal Proceedings. There are no legal or governmental proceedings

Effect, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or of which the business or property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject that is not disclosed in the Company's SEC
Documents. 

        4.6  Absence of Events of Default. Except as set forth in an SEC Document, no
"Event of Default" (as defined in any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party) or similar occurrence that would result in the termination of any material agreement or instrument to
which the Company is a party, or the acceleration of any obligation of the Company, and no event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (as so defined), has
occurred and is continuing that is reasonably likely to result in or cause a Material Adverse Effect. 

        4.7  No Bad Acts. The Company represents and warrants that, to its knowledge,
none of its directors or officers is or has been the subject of, or a defendant in: (i) an enforcement action or prosecution (or settlement in lieu thereof) brought by a governmental authority

assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans, claims, charges and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair
the Company's ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to property and assets it leases, the Company is in material compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, charges, claims or encumbrances, except to the extent where lack of such compliance or any liens, charges, claims or encumbrances is not reasonably likely to

organizing activities are pending or threatened against the Company by its employees. No employees belong to a union or collective bargaining unit. 

        4.10 No Violations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of its charter, bylaws or other organizational document, or in violation of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration panel or
authority applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or is in default (and
there exists no condition which, with the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default) in the performance of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by

Property") necessary to carry on the business now operated by them, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or is otherwise aware of any
infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or circumstances which would render any of the Company's Intellectual Property
invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or
invalidity or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

        4.13 Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the
Company and the related notes contained in the Company's SEC Documents present fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of the Company
and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified. Such financial statements (including the related notes) have been

offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act. The Company shall not directly or indirectly take, and shall
not permit any of its directors, officers or Subsidiaries directly or indirectly to take, any action (including, without limitation, any offering or sale to any person or entity of the Shares or any
Common Stock) that will make unavailable the exemption from registration under the Securities Act being relied upon by the Company for the offer and sale to the Investors of the Shares as contemplated
by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act. No form of general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act has been used or authorized by the Company or any of its officers, directors or Subsidiaries in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares as

into in connection with the contemplated acquisition of certain assets of Decision Consultants, Inc. pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below), all contracts, agreements and
arrangements that should have been disclosed in, or included as exhibits to, all filings made by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act have

Subsidiaries are in full force and effect on the date hereof, and neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Company's knowledge, any other party to such contracts is in breach of or
default under any of such contracts which is, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no material terms, obligations, rights or conditions of
any such contracts is currently being renegotiated. 

        4.22 Investment Company. The Company is not, and after the sale of the Shares

        4.25 Opinion of Counsel. The Company shall cause to be delivered to the

federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and reports and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been or
might be asserted or threatened against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The returns and reports when filed were materially accurate and complete and reflect all taxes and other

audited financial statements that is

        5.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.  

         5.1  The Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Investor is a "qualified institutional buyer" as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and the Investor is also knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in
shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Shares, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares; (ii) the Investor is acquiring the number of Shares set
forth on the Signature Page hereto in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Shares or any
arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Shares; (iii) the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise
dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the
respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iv) the Investor has answered all questions on the Signature Page hereto and the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as
Exhibit B for use in preparation of the Registration Statement and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and
Exhibit B is expressly incorporated herein by reference; (v) the Investor will notify the Company immediately of any change in any of such information until such time as the Investor has
sold all of its Shares or until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective; and (vi) the Investor has not received from the Company or Placement Agent any
information regarding the Company or the Shares, other than the Company Information. The Investor has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Shares, and
fully understands that the Shares are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor's entire investment. The Investor understands that (a) its acquisition
of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, (b) that the Shares
therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Act or when an exemption from registration is available, and (c) that the certificates for the Shares will bear a legend stating
that they have not been registered under federal or state securities law and cannot be resold unless they are registered or an exemption from registration is available. 

        5.2  The Investor acknowledges that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the
Company or the Placement Agent that would permit an offering of the Shares, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issue of the Shares, in any jurisdiction outside
the United States where action for that purpose is required. If Investor is not a "U.S. Person" as defined under Regulation S of the Securities Act, the Investor agrees to comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Shares or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its
own
expense. The Investor acknowledges that the Placement Agent is not authorized to make any representation or use any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the
Shares. 

        5.3  The Investor covenants not to sell, offer to sell or otherwise transfer the Shares unless (a) the Investor has
satisfied the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act, if applicable, (b) the sale or transfer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and (c) such
disposition is pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Shares will be
imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Investor acknowledges that, subject to Section 7.2, there may occasionally be times when the Company,

  
based on the advice of its counsel, determines that it must suspend the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration
Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC or until the Company has amended or supplemented such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Investor shall be permitted to transfer the Shares to any other person or entity that is controlled by such Investor, controls such Investor or is under common control with such
Investor, including, any funds or accounts advised by such Investor's investment advisor, provided that the transfer transaction meets the registration requirements of the Securities Act or is exempt
from registration under the Securities Act and that the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof. 

        5.4  The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Investor has full
right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except
as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

        5.5  The Investor will not, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, engage in any hedging transaction
effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or
grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Shares (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any
significant part of its value from the Common Stock of the Company. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares subject to the foregoing restriction until
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 

        5.6  The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection
with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Shares. 

        6.    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this
Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and Investors herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to
the Investor of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor. 

        7.    Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act.  

         7.1  Registration Procedures and Expenses.  

         (a)  The Company shall: 

        (i)    subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors, prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than 15 business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 (or in the event that the Company is unable to use
Form S-3, then on Form S-1) (the "Registration Statement") to enable the resale of the Shares by the Investors
from time to time through the NYSE or in

  
accordance with other methods of distribution described in the Registration Statement, elected by the Investor; 

        (ii)  use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors, to cause the Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable; provided, however, if the SEC reviews the Registration Statement and provides written or verbal comments thereto, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Registration Statement is filed by the Company; provided,
further that, if the SEC notifies the Company that the Registration Statement will not receive a review or will not require any amendments to the information contained therein, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective by the later of 30 days from the date the Registration was filed or 5 business days from the date of such notice
from the SEC. If the Registration Statement is not declared effective within ninety (90) days of Closing Date, then each Investor may elect to receive, at the Investor's discretion, from the
Company either: (i) an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 1% of the number of Shares purchased by such Investor hereunder (pro rata in accordance with their initial purchase
under this Agreement), for each month (and pro rated for any partial month) after such ninety (90) days that the Registration Statement is not declared effective, up to a maximum aggregate
amount of 5% of the Shares purchased by such Investor hereunder or (ii) a fee, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.0833% of the purchase
price paid by such Investor for the Shares set forth on the Signature Page for each day after such ninety (90) days the Registration Statement is not declared effective; 

        (iii) use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and continuously effective, subject to Section 7.2, and shall otherwise comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the registration of the Shares covered by the Registration Statement, for a period not exceeding, with respect to each Investor's Shares purchased
hereunder, the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the date on which the Investor may sell all Shares then held by the Investor pursuant to Rule 144(k)
of the Securities Act or (iii) such time as all Shares purchased by such Investor in this Offering have been sold pursuant to a registration statement; 

        (iv)  furnish to the Placement Agent and to the Investor with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration
Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement, Prospectuses and Preliminary Prospectuses, and each amendment and supplement thereto, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Investor; 

        (v)  use best efforts to register and qualify the Shares covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate in the opinion of the Company and the managing underwriters, if any, or if reasonably requested by the Investors; provided that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions; and provided further that (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary with respect to the bearing of expenses) if any jurisdiction in which any of such Shares shall be
qualified shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification therein of any such Shares be borne by the selling Investors, then the selling Investors shall, to

  
the extent required by such jurisdiction, pay their pro rata share of such qualification expenses; 

        (vi)  bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in this Section 7.1(a) and the registration of the Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the Investors or underwriting discounts, brokerage frees and commissions incurred by the
Investors, if any; 

        (vii) advise the Investors in writing, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop
order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its best efforts to prevent
the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; 

        (viii)  cause all such Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange on
which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, if the listing of such Shares is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or if no similar securities are then so listed, to
cause all such Shares to be listed on a national securities exchange, and promptly furnish to the NYSE and any other such exchange the Prospectus, including any supplements and amendments thereto, if
required under Rule 153 of the Securities Act; 

        (ix)  provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all
such Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration and use best efforts to cause the transfer agent to remove restrictive legends on the securities covered by such
registration; 

        (x)  notify the Investor of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment on the
date such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment becomes effective; 

        (xi)  cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares to
be sold and not bearing, unless required by law, any restrictive legends if sold under the Registration Statement; and 

        (xii) permit counsel to each of the Investors an opportunity to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto prior to their filing with the SEC. The sections of any such Registration Statement with respect to the Investor, the Investor's beneficial ownership of securities of the
Company or the Investor's intended method of disposition of the Shares shall contain the information provided to the Company by the Investor. 

        (b)  With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public
information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Investor's Shares may be resold pursuant to
Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Investor's Shares shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to the Investor upon request, as long as the Investor owns any Shares,
(A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company's most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other

  
information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Shares without registration. 

        (c)  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this
Section 7.1 that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares to be sold by Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
shall be required to effect the registration of the Shares. 

        (d)  The Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but the Investor being deemed an underwriter by
the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder, provided, however, that if the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Investor is deemed an underwriter, then
the period by which the Company is obligated to submit an acceleration request to the SEC regarding the Registration Statement shall be extended to the earlier of (i) the 90th day after such
SEC notification, or (ii) 120 days after the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. 

        7.2  Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension.  

        (a)  The Investor agrees that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information provided to the Company by the Investor for
inclusion in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution. 

        (b)  Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall: (i) if deemed necessary by
the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment
to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares being sold thereunder, such
Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investor copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i); and (iii) promptly inform each
Investor that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 7.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as
promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Investor pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective). 

        (c)  Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or
state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional
information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance
which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

  
statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to
the Investor (the "Suspension Notice") to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from
selling any Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a "Suspension") until the Investor's receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended
Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental
filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so
suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within 20 business days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Investors. In addition to and without limiting
any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investor, the Investor shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply
with the provisions of this Section 7.2(c). 

        (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 7.2, the Investor shall not be prohibited from selling
Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions (i) during the 30 day period commencing with the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and
(ii) on more than two non-consecutive occasions of not more than 45 days each (each such occasion to be separated by not less than 15 business days) in any
12 month period. 

        (e)  Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect the Investor may sell Shares under the Registration Statement, provided
that the Investor has met the Prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act in connection with such sale of Shares. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company has agreed to provide an
adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Investor and to supply copies to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses. 

        (f)    In the event of a sale of Shares by the Investor, the Investor shall also deliver to the Company's transfer agent, with a
copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, so that the Shares may be properly transferred. 

        7.3  Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.3: 

        (a)  the term "Investor Affiliate" shall mean any officer, director, agent,
employee, fiduciaries, members managers, general or limited partners or affiliate of such Investor, including, without limitation, each person, if any, who controls the Investor or such Investor
Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; 

        (b)  the term "Registration Statement" shall include any final Prospectus,
exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1; and 

  

        (c)  the term "untrue statement" shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. 

        (i)    To the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and the Investor
Affiliate from and against any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Company's prior written consent) or
liabilities (each a "Loss," collectively "Losses") to which such Investor or the Investor Affiliate may
become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) in the case of the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or in any amendments or supplements thereto, any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or state securities laws, or (ii) any
failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Investor or Investor Affiliate for any reasonable legal or other expenses
or costs reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim as and when such expenses are incurred, provided, however, that the Company shall
not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor or any Investor Affiliate specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Investor or
Investor Affiliate to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 7.2 hereof or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any
subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor. 

        (ii)  To the extent permitted by law, the Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and
against any Losses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in settlement effected with the Investor's prior written consent) to which the Company (or any such officer, director or
controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any
failure by the Investor or any Investor Affiliate to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 7.2 hereof, or (ii) in the case of the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto; any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically
for use in
preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Investor shall not be obligated to indemnify the Company pursuant to this provision in excess of the amount that is equal to the
gross amount received by the Investor from a sale of the Shares. The Investor will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any reasonable legal
or other expenses or costs reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim when and as such expenses are incurred.

 

        (iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of
which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the
commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 7.3
(except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party's ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 7.3.
Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the
extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof and
provided that counsel is reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or may exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable judgment
of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be
entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the
indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have
been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding. 

        (iv)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the Investors on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof). The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or an Investor
on the other and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above

  
in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this
subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the gross amount received by the Investor from the
sale of the Shares to which such Loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Investors' obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Shares to which such loss relates and not joint. 

        (v)  The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by
counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 7.3, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further
acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.3 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate
disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Act and the Exchange Act. The parties are advised that federal or state public policy as interpreted by the courts in certain
jurisdictions may be contrary to certain of the provisions of this Section 7.3, and the parties hereto hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right or ability to assert such public policy as
a defense to a claim under this Section 7.3 and further agree not to attempt to assert any such defense. 

        7.4  Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7
upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares when such Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act. 

        7.5  Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Shares owned by the
Investor, the Company will furnish to the Investor: 

        (a)  as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual
Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants) and (ii) if not included in
substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits); 

        (b)  upon the reasonable request of the Investor, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(ii) of
this Section 7.5 as filed with the SEC and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and 

        (c)  upon the reasonable request of the Investor, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other
party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Investor, will meet with the Investor or a representative thereof at the Company's headquarters to discuss all
information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Shares and will otherwise cooperate with any Investor conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or
eliminating such Investor's

  
exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company's headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any
confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with any Investor until and unless the Investor shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect thereto in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 

        8.    Conditions Precedent.  

         8.1  Conditions to the Obligation of the Investor to Consummate the Closing. The obligation of the Investor to consummate the Closing and to
purchase
and pay for the Shares being purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (or waiver by the Investor); provided, however, that except
for Section 8.1(i), the Investor's obligation to consummate the Closing is not conditioned upon purchases by any of the Other Investors.

to satisfy as to such representation or warranty the condition precedent set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 8). 

        (b)  Prior to the Closing Date, no Material Adverse Event shall have occurred and the Company shall have performed in all
material respects all covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions herein required to be performed or observed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date.

prohibit, alter, prevent or materially delay the Closing, shall have been instituted before any court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official and shall be pending. 

        (d)  The purchase of and payment for the Shares by such Investors shall not be prohibited by any law or governmental order or
regulation. All necessary consents, approvals, licenses, permits, orders and authorizations of, or registrations, declarations and filings with, any governmental or administrative agency or of any
other person with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares) shall have been duly obtained or made and shall be in full force
and effect. 

        (e)  The Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities or "blue sky" laws with
respect to the issuance of the Shares. 

        (f)    A certificate shall have been delivered by the Company, signed by its President or Chief Executive Officer, to the effect
