Time, Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent to mail to each holder of a
certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding Shares (the "Certificates") (i) a letter of transmittal
(which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title
to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to
Parent, and shall be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in
effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the right to receive
the Merger Consideration or Cash Payment, as the case may be. Upon surrender to
the Escrow Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of
transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably
required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration or Cash
Payment, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.06(b), (c) and (f),
which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares formerly
represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all Shares then held
by such holder), cash in lieu of fractional Merger Shares to which such holder
is entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and any dividends or other distributions
to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(b), and the
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled; provided, however, that
Merger Consideration or Cash Payment, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
have been deposited in escrow by such holder with the Escrow Agent, and shall be
held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and shall be released only upon the terms set
forth in the Escrow Agreement. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares
that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger
Consideration or Cash Payment, as the case may be, such holder has the right to
receive in respect of the Shares, cash in lieu of any fractional Merger Shares
to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and any dividends
or other distributions which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2.09(b), may be issued/distributed to a transferee if the Certificate
representing such Shares is presented to Parent, accompanied by all documents
required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any
applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.09, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time
after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such
surrender the Merger Consideration or Cash Payment, as the case may be, which
such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares formerly
represented by such Certificate, cash in lieu of any fractional Merger Shares to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and any dividends or
other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2.09(b).

      (b) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Securities.
No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time
with respect to Merger Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall
be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to Merger
Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares
shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.09(d), until the holder
of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate. Subject to the effect of
escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such
Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing
whole shares of Merger Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i)
promptly, the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional share of
Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and
the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time and theretofor paid with respect to such whole shares of Merger
Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or
other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to
surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to
such whole shares of Merger Shares.

                                       11
<PAGE>

      (c) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Shares issued
upon conversion of the Shares (including any cash paid pursuant to Section
2.09(b) or (d)) and Cash Payments made shall be deemed to have been issued in
full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

      (d) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional
shares of Merger Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner
thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Each holder
of a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the
product obtained by multiplying (i) such fractional share interest to which such
holder (after taking into account all fractional share interests then held by
such holder) would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the Initial Valuation Amount or
the Second Valuation Amounts, as applicable. From time to time after the
Effective Time, as promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount
of cash, if any, to be paid to any holders of fractional share interests who
have surrendered Certificates to Parent, Parent shall forward payments to such
holder of fractional share interests subject to and in accordance with the terms
of Sections 2.09(b) and (d).

      (e) No Liability. Neither Parent nor the Company shall be liable to any
holder of Shares for any such Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect
hereto), or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned
property, escheat or similar Law.

      (f) Withholding Rights. Each of Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under
the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case
may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent,
as the case may be.

      (g) Escrow. Immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to
the Escrow Agent the Initial Merger Consideration, the Cash Payment, the Merger
Notes, and fifty-five percent (55%) of the CORE Carveout Payment (collectively,
the "Escrow Amounts"). The Escrow Amounts shall be held by the Escrow Agent
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amounts
shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment,
trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and

terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amounts shall be released pursuant to

Company Audited Financial Statements. The adoption of this Agreement and the
approval of the Merger by the stockholders of the Company shall constitute (i)
approval of the Escrow Agreement and of all of the arrangements relating
thereto, including the placement of the Escrow Amounts in escrow and the
appointment of the Sellers' Representative and the (ii) agreement of such
stockholders to indemnify the Sellers' Representative in respect of, and hold it

Sellers' Representative.

      SECTION 2.10 Appraisal Rights. To the extent holders of Shares exercise
appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, the
Shares of such holder shall not be converted into the right to receive the
Merger Consideration, but the applicable amount of Merger Consideration shall be
held by Parent subject to the provisions of Delaware Law. If any such holder
fails to protect or withdraws or loses its appraisal rights, such Shares shall
then be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a
right to receive the Merger Consideration.

effect on the Company. As used in this Agreement, the terms "material adverse
change" or "material adverse effect" means, when used in reference to a person
or entity, any change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts
that is, or which reasonably could be expected to be, materially adverse to the

results of operations of such party and its subsidiaries, considered as an
entirety; provided, however, that the following shall not be taken into account
or given effect, either individually or in the aggregate, in determining whether
there has occurred or there reasonably could be expected to occur, or whether
there exists a change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts
that is or which reasonably could be expected to be, a material adverse change
or a material adverse effect: (i) any change, effect, event, circumstance,
occurrence or state of facts relating to the United States economy or financial
or securities markets in general (but only to the extent not constituting or

inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association or
not otherwise involving a decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average of more
than 35% measured over any five AMEX-trading day period), (ii) any adverse
change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts relating to
the automotive industry to the extent not affecting the referent person to a
disproportionately greater extent than other persons in industries in which the
referent person competes are or could reasonably be expected to be affected, or
(iii) any change, effect, event, circumstance, occurrence or state of facts
directly relating to and arising out of the public announcement or performance
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth
in Schedule 3.01(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, the Company and its
Subsidiaries are duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do
business, and are in good standing, in each jurisdiction listed in the Company
Disclosure Schedules, where the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or
licensed and in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

to, any Governmental Authority, except (i) for filing and recordation of
appropriate merger documents as required by Delaware Law (the "Company Required
Approvals"), which shall be filed and recorded at the Effective Time, and (ii)

Subsidiaries to own, lease and operate its properties or to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted (the "Company Permits"), except where the

no suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, threatened, except where the failure to have, or
the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Company Permits would not prevent
or materially delay consummation of the Merger and would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries

applicable to the Company or its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset

that it is liable for any contamination by Hazardous Substances. To the
knowledge of the Company, the Company is not actually, potentially or allegedly
liable under any Environmental Law (including, without limitation, pending or
threatened liens). The Company is in compliance with all permits, licenses and
other authorizations required under any Environmental Law ("Environmental
Permits"). Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
Merger will require any investigation, remediation or other action with respect
to Hazardous Substances, or any notice to or consent of Governmental Authorities
or third parties, pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or Environmental
Permit.

      SECTION 3.13 Insurance. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13 of the
Company Disclosure Schedules, the Company and its Subsidiaries have all material
primary insurance providing insurance coverage that is customary in amount and
scope for other companies in the industry in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries operate. All such primary insurance is placed with nationally
reputable insurance carriers. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
self-insure, except in amount and scope which is customary for other companies
in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate and as to
which the absence of third party insurance coverage could not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. All such policies are in full force and effect,
all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid and no written or oral
notice of cancellation or termination has been received and is outstanding.

      SECTION 3.14 Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, there are no outstanding amounts
payable to or receivable from, or advances by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
otherwise a creditor of or debtor to, any stockholder, director, employee or
affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as part of the
normal and customary terms of such persons' employment or service as a director
with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary of the Company is a party to any transaction or agreement with any
affiliate, stockholder, director or executive officer of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or any material transaction or agreement with any employee
other than executive officers or as listed on Schedule 3.15 to the Company
Disclosure Schedules.

      SECTION 3.15 Company Material Contracts.

      (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.15 of the Company Disclosure
Schedules, each Company Material Contract (as such term is hereafter defined) is
valid and binding on and enforceable against the Company (or, to the extent a
Subsidiary of the Company is a party, such Subsidiary) and, to the knowledge of
the Company, each other party thereto and is in full force and effect. Except as
set forth in Schedule 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedules, neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach or default under any Company
Material Contract. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company knows
of, or has received notice of, any violation or default under (nor, to the
knowledge of the Company, does there exist any condition which with the passage
of time or the giving of notice or both would result in such a violation or
default under) any Company Material Contract by any other party thereto. Prior
to the date hereof, the Company has made available to Parent true and complete
copies of all Company Material Contracts, as the same are in full force and
effect. Such material contracts shall be delivered by the Company to Parent upon
the request of Parent; provided, that such delivery requirement shall under no
circumstances delay the Effective Time or the closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                                       20
<PAGE>

      (b) As used in this Agreement, "Company Material Contracts" shall mean any
contract, license agreement, commitment, lease, or restriction of any kind 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 to which any of the Company's or any of
its Subsidiaries' assets are subject which (i) involve payments to and from the
Company or liabilities of the Company of at least $50,000; (ii) contain
restrictive covenants applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or their
respective property or officers or employees; (iii) are with officers, directors
or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) are otherwise material to
the Company.

      SECTION 3.16 Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor,
finder, consultant or other person is entitled to any broker's, finder's,
financial advisor's or other similar fee, compensation or commission, however
and whenever payable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company, any
Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
shareholders.

      SECTION 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans.

      (a) Schedule 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedules contains a true and
complete list of all of Company's and its Subsidiaries' employee plans. Schedule
3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedules identifies and includes but is not
limited to, each of the employee plans that is subject to Section 302 or Title
IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. Neither Company nor any ERISA Affiliate
of Company has any commitment or formal plan, whether or not legally binding, to
create any additional employee benefit plan or modify or change any existing
employee plan other than as may be required by the express terms of such
employee plan or applicable law.

      (b) With respect to each employee plan that has been qualified or is
intended to be qualified under the Code or that is an "Employee Benefit Plan"
within the meaning of Section 3.3 of ERISA, such employee plan has been duly
approved and adopted by all necessary and appropriate action of the Board of
Directors of Parent (or a duly constituted committee thereof).

      (c) With respect to the employee plans, all required contributions for all
periods ending before the Closing Date have been or will be paid in full by the
Closing Date. Subject only to normal retrospective adjustments in the ordinary
course, all required insurance premiums have been or will be paid in full with
regard to such employee plans for policy years or other applicable policy
periods ending on or before the Closing Date by the Closing Date. None of the
employee plans has unfunded benefit liabilities, as defined in Section
4001(a)(16) of ERISA.

      (d) The Company does not have any Multi-Employer Plans, nor has it ever
had such plan.

      (e) With respect to each employee plan (i) no prohibited transactions as
defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code have occurred or are
expected to occur as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, (ii) no action, suit, grievance, arbitration or other type of
litigation, or claim with respect to the assets of any employee plan (other than
routine claims for benefits made in the ordinary course of plan administration
for which plan administrative review procedures have not been exhausted) is
pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened or imminent against Company,
any ERISA Affiliate or any Fiduciary, including, but not limited to, any action,
suit, grievance, arbitration or other type of litigation, or claim regarding
conduct that allegedly interferes with the attainment of rights under any
employee plan and (iii) Company has no knowledge of any facts which would give
rise to or could give rise to any such actions, suits, grievances, arbitration
or other type of litigation, or claims with respect to any employee plan. To the
knowledge of Company, neither Company, nor its directors, officers, employees or
any Fiduciary has any liability for failure to comply with ERISA or the Code for
any action or failure to act in connection with the administration or investment
of such plan. None of the employee plans is subject to any pending
investigations or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened investigations from
any Governmental Agencies who enforce applicable laws under ERISA and the Code.

                                       21
<PAGE>

      (f) Each of the employee plans is, and has been, operated in accordance
with its terms and each of the employee plans, and administration thereof, is,
and has been, in all material respects in compliance with the requirements of
any and all applicable statutes, orders or governmental rules or regulations
currently in effect, including, but not limited to, ERISA and the Code. All
required reports and descriptions of the employee plans (including but not
limited to Form 5500 Annual Reports, Form 1024 Application for Recognition of
Exemption Under Section 501(a), Summary Annual Reports and Summary Plan
Descriptions) have been timely filed and distributed as required by ERISA and
the Code. Any notices required by ERISA or the Code or any other state or
federal law or any ruling or regulation of any state or federal administrative
agency with respect to the employee plans, including but not limited to any
notices required by Section 204(h), Section 606 or Section 4043 of ERISA or
Section 4980B of the Code, have been appropriately given.

      (g) The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to
each employee plan intended to be "qualified" within the meaning of Section
401(a) of the Code that has not been revoked and, to the knowledge of the
Company, no circumstances exist that could adversely affect the qualified status
of any such plan and the exemption under Section 501(a) of the Code of the trust
maintained thereunder. Each employee plan intended to satisfy the requirements
of Section 125, 501(c)(9) or 501(c)(17) of the Code has satisfied such
requirements in all material respects.

      (h) With respect to each employee plan to which Company or any ERISA
Affiliate made, or was required to make, contributions on behalf of any employee
during the five-year period ending on the last day of the most recent plan year
end prior to the Closing Date, (i) no liability under Title IV or Section 302 of
ERISA has been incurred by Company or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been
satisfied in full, and (ii) to the knowledge of Company, no condition exists
that presents a material risk to Company or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any
such liability and (iii) the present value of accrued benefits under such plan,
based upon the actuarial assumptions used for funding purposes in the most
recent actuarial report prepared by such plan's actuary with respect to such
plan did not exceed, as of its latest valuation date, the then current value of
the assets of such plan allocable to such accrued benefits. No employee plan or
any trust established thereunder has incurred any "accumulated funding
deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code),
whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal
year.

      (i) No employee plan provides medical, surgical, hospitalization, death or
similar benefits (whether or not insured) for employees for periods extending
beyond their retirement or other termination of service, other than (i) coverage
mandated by Section 4980B of the Code, Section 601 of ERISA or other applicable
law, (ii) death benefits under any "pension plan," (iii) benefits the full cost
of which is borne by the employee (or his beneficiary) or (iv) employee plans
that can be amended or terminated by Company without consent. Company does not
have any current or projected liability with respect to post-employment or
post-retirement welfare benefits for retired, former, or current employees of
Company.

                                       22
<PAGE>

      (j) No material amounts payable under the employee plans will fail to be
deductible for Federal income tax purposes by virtue of Section 162(m) of the
Code.

      (k) To the extent that Company or any of its Subsidiaries is deemed to be
a fiduciary with respect to any plan that is subject to ERISA, Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (i) during the past five years has complied with
the requirements of ERISA and the Code in the performance of its duties and
responsibilities with respect to such employee benefit plan and (ii) has not
knowingly caused any of the trusts for which it serves as an investment manager,
as defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA, to enter into any transaction that would
constitute a "prohibited transaction" under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, with respect to any such trusts, except for transactions that are
the subject of a statutory or administrative exemption.

      (l) No person will be entitled to a "gross up" or other similar payment in
respect of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

      (m) None of the employee plans have been completely or partially
terminated and none has been the subject of a "reportable event" as that term is
defined in Section 4043 of ERISA. No amendment has been adopted which would
require Company or any ERISA Affiliate to provide security pursuant to Section
307 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

      SECTION 3.18 Labor Matters.

      (a) With respect to employees of Company and its Subsidiaries: (i) to the
knowledge of Company, no senior executive or key employee has any plans to
terminate employment with Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) there is no
unfair labor practice charge or complaint against Company or any of its
Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
threatened before the National Labor Relations Board or any other comparable
Governmental Entity; (iii) there is no demand for recognition made by any labor
organization or petition for election filed with the National Labor Relations
Board or any other comparable Governmental Entity; (iv) no grievance or any
arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective bargaining agreements
is pending and, to the knowledge of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no
claims therefor have been threatened other than grievances or arbitrations
incurred in the ordinary course of business; (v) the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not give rise to termination of any existing collective bargaining
agreement or permit any labor organization to commence or initiate any
negotiations in respect of wages, hours, benefits, severance or working
conditions under any such existing collective bargaining agreements; and (vi)
there is no litigation, arbitration proceeding, governmental investigation,
administrative charge, citation or action of any kind pending or, to the
knowledge of Company, proposed or threatened against Company relating to
employment, employment practices, terms and conditions of employment or wages,
benefits, severance and hours.

      (b) Schedule 3.18(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules lists the name,
title, date of employment and current annual salary of each current salaried
employee, if any, whose total annual compensation exceeds $100,000. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in any
payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, tax gross-up, bonus or
otherwise) becoming due to any current or former director, employee or
independent contractor of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, from Company or
any of its Subsidiaries under any plan or otherwise, (ii) materially increase
any benefits otherwise payable under any plan or agreement, or (iii) result in
the acceleration of the time of payment, exercise or vesting of any such
benefits.

      (c) Schedule 3.18(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth all
contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements covering any employee of Company or
its Subsidiaries containing "change of control," "stay-put," transition,
retention, severance or similar provisions, and sets forth the names and titles
of all such employees, the amounts payable under such provisions, whether such
provisions would become payable as a result of the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and when such amounts would be payable to such
employees, all of which are in writing, have heretofore been duly approved by
the Company's Board of Directors, and true and complete copies of all of which
have heretofore been made available to Parent. Such contracts, agreements, plans
or arrangements shall be delivered by the Company to Parent upon the request of
Parent; provided, that such delivery requirement shall under no circumstances
delay the Effective Time or the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement (oral or written) covering
any employee of Company that individually or collectively could give rise to the
payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of
Section 280G of the Code.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT

      Parent represents and warrants to the Company that the statements
contained in this Article IV are true and correct, except as set forth in the
Parent Disclosure Schedules. The Parent Disclosure Schedules shall be arranged
in paragraphs corresponding to numbered and lettered sections contained in this
Article IV, and the disclosures in any paragraph of the Parent Disclosure
Schedules shall qualify other sections in this Article IV to the extent it is
reasonably and readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such
disclosure is applicable to such other sections. Neither Parent nor any of its
Subsidiaries has made or shall be deemed to have made any representation or
warranty to the Company other than as set forth in this Article IV or the Parent
Disclosure Schedules.

      SECTION 4.01 Corporate Organization.

      (a) Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the requisite power and authority and all necessary governmental
approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized,
existing or in good standing or to have such power, authority and governmental
approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Parent and its
Subsidiaries are duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do
business, and are in good standing, in each jurisdiction listed in the Parent
Disclosure Schedules, where the character of the properties owned, leased or
operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or
licensed and in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the
Parent.

      (b) Schedule 4.01(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedules lists the names
and jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of all the Subsidiaries of the
Parent as of the date of this Agreement, whether consolidated or unconsolidated.
The outstanding securities of the Subsidiaries of the Parent are set forth in
Section 4.01(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedules and all outstanding shares of
capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each such Subsidiary: (i) have
been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; (ii)
are owned directly or indirectly by the Parent, free and clear of all Liens; and
(iii) are free of all other restrictions (including restrictions on the right to
vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership
interests) that would prevent the operation by the Parent of such Subsidiary's
business as presently conducted. Except as set forth above, in Section 3.01(c)
of the Parent Disclosure Schedules, or in the Parent SEC Reports, as of the date
of this Agreement the Parent does not own, directly or indirectly, any equity or
similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable for any
equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or
other business association or entity.

                                       24

      SECTION 4.02 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. Parent has
heretofor made available to the Company a complete and correct copy of the
certificate of incorporation and the by-laws or equivalent organizational
documents, each as amended to date, of Parent and each of its Subsidiaries. Such
certificate of incorporation, by-laws or equivalent organizational documents (i)
are in full force and effect as set forth in such copies and have not be amended
and (ii) shall be delivered by Parent to the Company upon the request of the
Company; provided, that such delivery requirement shall under no circumstances
delay the Effective Time or the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any provision of
its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.

      SECTION 4.03 Capitalization. As of the date of this Agreement, the
authorized capital stock of Parent consists of 50,000,000 shares of Parent
Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this
Agreement, 28,540,114 shares of Parent Common Stock, 2,101,900 shares of Series
A-1 and A-2 Preferred Stock and 5,370,907 shares of Series B and B-2 Preferred
Stock were issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Agreement, all of the
outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock and preferred stock have been duly
authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. As of the
date of this Agreement, 2,100,000 shares of Parent Common Stock were reserved
for future issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options granted pursuant to
Parent's employee stock option plans. As of the date of this Agreement, except
as disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports, there are no options, warrants or other
rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the
issued or unissued capital stock of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries,
obligating any of them to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports, as of
the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of
Parent to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Parent Common
Stock. Upon amendment of Parent's certificate of incorporation to increase the
authorized capital stock of Parent, the shares of Parent Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to the Merger will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights (except for the
rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred
Stock) created by statute, Parent's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or
any agreement to which Parent is a party or by which Parent is bound and will,
when issued, be registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act
and applicable Blue Sky Laws.

      SECTION 4.04 Authority Relative to this Agreement. Parent has all
necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement,
to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Merger. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and the consummation by Parent of the
Merger have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger (other than, with respect
to the Merger, the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as
required by Delaware Law). Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, which
are qualified hereby, Parent must amend its certificate of incorporation to
increase its authorized capital stock in order for there to be at least
sufficient Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Initial Preferred Stock
and the Subsequent Preferred Stock. This Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
Parent enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms.

                                       25
<PAGE>

      SECTION 4.05 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

      (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent do not, and the
performance of this Agreement by Parent will not, (i) conflict with or violate
the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Parent (ii) assuming that all
consents, approvals, authorizations and other actions described in Section
4.05(b) have been obtained and all filings and obligations described in Section
4.05(b) have been made and, subject to obtaining approval of the stockholders,
if required, conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment
or decree applicable to Parent or by which any property or asset of Parent is
bound or affected, or (iii) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or
an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien or other encumbrance on any
property or asset of Parent pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or
obligation to which Parent is a party or by which Parent or any property or
asset of Parent is bound or affected, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and
(iii), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other
occurrences which would not prevent or materially delay consummation of the
Merger or otherwise prevent Parent from performing any of their material
obligations under this Agreement.

      (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent do not, and the
performance of this Agreement by Parent will not, require any consent, approval,
authorization or permit of, or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental
Authority, including, without limitation, applicable requirements, if any, of
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, Blue Sky Laws, the NASD OTC rules and
regulations, state takeover laws, except (i) the filing and recordation of
appropriate merger documents as required by Delaware Law, (ii) the amendment of
Parent's certificate of incorporation to increase its capital stock at least as
much as is required in order to permit the Initial Preferred Stock and the
Subsequent Preferred Stock to be converted into Common Stock (including an
information statement on Form 14C in connection therewith), and (iii) where the
failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to
make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or materially delay
consummation of the Merger, or otherwise prevent Parent from performing their
material obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (x) if Parent's
listing application with The American Stock Exchange is approved and effective
prior to the Merger, it is possible that the performance of this Agreement will
require filing with The American Stock Exchange; (y) Parent will be required to
make such filings disclosing this Agreement and the Merger as are necessary and
appropriate for public companies to make under applicable securities law, rules
and regulations; and (z) Parent's issuance of securities in the Merger is
subject to reliance upon an exemption from registration thereof under applicable
securities laws, and compliance with any such exemption may involve notice
filings (such as a Form D) with applicable securities authorities.

      SECTION 4.06 Permits; Compliance. Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries is
in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits,
easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders
of any Governmental Authority necessary for each of Parent or its Subsidiaries
to own, lease and operate its properties or to carry on its business as it is
now being conducted (the "Parent Permits"), except where the failure to have, or
the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Parent Permits would not prevent
or materially delay consummation of the Merger and would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company. As of the date hereof, no suspension or
cancellation of any of the Parent Permits is pending or, to the knowledge of
Parent, threatened, except where the failure to have, or the suspension or
cancellation of, any of the Parent Permits would not prevent or materially delay
consummation of the Merger and would not have a material adverse effect on
Parent. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in
default, breach or violation of, (a) any Law applicable to Parent or its
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of Parent or its Subsidiaries is
bound or affected, or (b) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, lease, license, Parent Permit, franchise or other instrument or
obligation to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any property or asset of Parent or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound, except for any such conflicts, defaults, breaches or
violations that would not prevent or materially delay consummation of the Merger
and would not have a material adverse effect on Parent.

      SECTION 4.07 SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

      (a) As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has filed all forms, reports
and documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since February 28, 2003
and has heretofore made available to the Company, in the form filed with the
SEC, (i) its Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years ended February
28, 2002 and 2003, and February 29, 2004, respectively, (ii) its Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended May 31, August 30 and November 30,
2002 and 2003 and (iii) all other forms, reports and other registration
statements filed by Parent with the SEC since January 1, 2003 and prior to the
date hereof. Such forms, reports and documents shall be delivered by Parent to
the Company upon request of the Company; provided, that such delivery
requirement shall under no circumstances delay the Effective Time or the closing
of the transactions contemplated hereby. The forms, reports, and other documents
referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parent SEC Reports". The
term "Parent SEC Reports" shall also include such filings as Parent may make
under the Exchange Act during the period from the date of this Agreement through
the Effective Time. The Parent SEC Reports (A) complied, at the time they were
filed, as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable
rules and regulations thereunder, and (B) did not, at the time they were filed,
or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of
Parent's Subsidiaries is required to file any form, report or other document
with the SEC.

      (b) No executive officer of Parent has failed in any respect to make the
certifications required of him or her under (i) Section 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to any periodic report filed by Parent
with the SEC since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or (ii)
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to any periodic
report filed by Parent with the SEC since August 29, 2002 (in each case,
excluding any failure to make such certifications occurring after the date of
this Agreement that is inadvertent but promptly corrected by filing the
requisite certification or is attributable to the physical incapacity of an
officer required to make such a certification).

      (c) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each
case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports was prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods

as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated

aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Parent).

      (d) Except as and to the extent set forth on the consolidated balance
sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of February 29, 2004, including the
notes thereto, and except as otherwise disclosed in this Agreement, neither

contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities and obligations, incurred in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since February 29,
2004 except those which would not have a material adverse effect on Parent.

material adverse effect. None of the leased real property has been assigned or

                                   ARTICLE V

                              ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

      SECTION 5.01 Registration Statement.

      (a) (1) As soon as practicable but in no event later than seventy-five
(75) days after the Effective Time (except as provided in the next succeeding
sentence), Parent shall use its best efforts to cause to have been filed a
registration statement on Form SB-2 or other applicable Form if Form SB-2 is not
available or has been rescinded or replaced (the "Registration Statement") with
the SEC covering all "Registrable Securities," as such term is hereinafter
defined. The seventy-five (75) day period referred to in the preceding sentence
shall be extended for a period (the "Filing Extension Period") equal to one day
for each day in which Parent has not received all of the items required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h) of this Agreement within the sixty (60)
day period set forth in such Section. The term "Registrable Securities" shall
mean the Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Parent Junior
Preferred Stock and any other shares of Parent Common Stock issued as (or
issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security
which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in
exchange for or in replacement of such securities. At ADN's election, the
Registration Statement may also cover the shares of Parent Common Stock issued
by the Parent after the Parent's Series B-2 Preferred Stock primarily to finance
the Parent's acquisition of the balance of DCS Automotive Ltd. not already owned
by the Parent.

      (2) Parent shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective under the Securities Act within one hundred five (105) days
after the Effective Date. The one hundred five (105) day period referred to in
the preceding sentence shall be extended for a period (the "Registration
Effectiveness Extension Period") equal to one day for each day in which Parent
has not received all of the items required to be delivered pursuant to Section
5.01(h) of this Agreement within the sixty (60) day period set forth in such
Section.

      (3) If Parent has not (i) filed the Registration Statement within
seventy-five (75) days after the Effective Date (plus any applicable Filing
Extension Period), or (ii) caused such Registration Statement to be declared
effective within one hundred five (105) days of the Effective Date (plus any
applicable Registration Effectiveness Extension Period), the date upon which the
Parent fails to satisfy either condition shall be a "Warrant Issuance Trigger
Date". Upon any Warrant Issuance Trigger Date, Parent shall forthwith, and in no
event later than five (5) business days thereafter, issue to each of the holders
of Initial Junior Preferred Stock a warrant (the "Penalty Warrant"), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D, exercisable into such number of shares of Initial
Junior Preferred Stock that equal two percent (2%) of the Initial Junior
Preferred Stock held by each such holder at an exercise price of $1.90 per
share; provided that there shall be no doubling up of penalties in the event
that Parent fails to satisfy both conditions. In addition, if, for the
subsequent thirty (30) day period, or for any thirty (30) day period subsequent
to such period, Parent fails to satisfy either of the aforesaid conditions, and
such failure would result in a Warrant Issuance Trigger Date upon the conclusion
of such thirty (30) day period, Parent, promptly (and in no event later than
five (5) business days) after the expiration of each such additional thirty (30)
day period, shall issue an additional Penalty Warrant to each of the holders of
the Initial Junior Preferred Stock exercisable into such number of shares of
Initial Junior Preferred Stock that equal two percent (2%) of the Initial Junior
Preferred Stock held by each such holder at an exercise price of $1.90 per
share; provided, that there shall be no doubling up of penalties in the event
that Parent fails to satisfy both conditions during each such additional thirty
(30) day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be
obligated to issue Penalty Warrants which, in the aggregate, would equal or
exceed that number of Penalty Warrants which would entitle the holders of the
Registrable Securities, in the aggregate, to purchase shares of Parent Junior
Preferred Stock convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock equal to more
than 24% of the Parent Common Stock into which such Registrable Securities are
initially convertible (subject to adjustments for stock splits, reclassification
of shares, etc.). Each Penalty Warrant shall be exercisable for five (5) years
after the date of issuance, except for earlier expiration ten (10) business days
after delivery of written notice by Parent to each holder of such Warrants that
the average of the market price of the Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent
Junior Preferred Stock has traded for a period of thirty consecutive trading
days at a value equal to or greater than Four Hundred Percent (400%) of the
then-applicable Penalty Warrant exercise price.

<PAGE>

      (b) Each of the holders of the Registrable Securities (the "Sellers")
shall provide promptly such information concerning their business, holdings,
financial statements and affairs as may be reasonably required by Parent for
inclusion of Sellers' Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, or
in any amendments or supplements thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be obligated to include
in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities of any Seller who does
not furnish such information to Parent promptly upon request. Parent shall
promptly provide to Sellers' Representative copies of, consult with Sellers'
Representative regarding and prepare in consultation with Sellers'
Representative written responses with respect to any written comments received
from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement, and shall advise
Sellers' Representative of any oral SEC comments. The Registration Statement
shall comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act.

      (c) Parent shall use best commercial efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to remain effective under the Securities Act for a period ending on
the later of (i) one year after the Registration Statement first becomes
effective plus whatever period of time as shall equal any period, if any, during
such one year period in which Parent was not current with its reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act or (ii) such time as all of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement may be freely sold pursuant to
Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act by non-affiliates. Parent shall advise the
Sellers' Representative, promptly after receipt of notice thereof, of the time
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the filing of any supplement
or amendment thereto, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto, the
suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in
connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of any
SEC request for amendment to the Registration Statement, SEC comments thereon
and each party's responses thereto or SEC request for additional information. No
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement shall be filed without
consultation by Parent with the Sellers' Representative.

      (d) Parent shall use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any Seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts
and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Seller
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Seller and to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period which the
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective (provided, that Parent
will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph,
(ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction).

      (e) Parent shall furnish such number of prospectuses or other documents
incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as
a Seller from time to time may reasonably request.

      (f) Each of the parties shall enter into such customary agreements
(including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other
actions reasonably necessary in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in
"road shows" and other information meetings organized by an underwriter.

                                       31
<PAGE>

      (g) All expenses incident to Parent's performance of or compliance with
this Agreement including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing
expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel
for Parent and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters
(excluding discounts and commissions, which will be paid by the Sellers of
Registrable Securities) and other persons retained by Parent will be borne by
Parent, and Parent will pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the
expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the
securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar
securities issued by Parent are then listed or on The Nasdaq National Market,
Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the OTC Bulletin Board trading system. Without
limitation, the foregoing shall include, with respect to each Registration
Statement hereunder, the fees, charges and disbursements up to $25,000 of one
counsel to the Sellers (which shall be designated by the Sellers'
Representative); provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to pay
any underwriting discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of
Registrable Securities and any of the expenses incurred by such Sellers which
are not payable by Parent, such costs to be borne by such Sellers.

      (h) Parent shall have received, within sixty (60) days after the date of
this Agreement, the Company Audited Financial Statements of the Company, along
with consents by such accountants for inclusion of, and reliance upon, such
Company Audited Financial Statements and reports in the financial statements
which Parent determines must be filed either pursuant to this Agreement or with
the SEC pursuant to applicable law. In connection therewith, Parent or its
accountants also shall have received, within such sixty (60) day period, such
workpapers and other supporting documents of Company's accountants, or access to
and an opportunity to review such workpapers and other supporting documents, as
Parent or its accountants may reasonably request.

                                       32
<PAGE>

      SECTION 5.02 Proxy Statement. To the extent required or advisable, if at
all, under applicable laws and regulations in the opinion of Parent and its
counsel, Parent and the Company shall prepare and file a proxy statement or an
information statement (the "Parent Proxy Statement") following the execution of
this Agreement and at such time prior to the Effective Time as is reasonably
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder on the Effective
Time. Each of Parent and the Company shall provide promptly to the other such
information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in
the reasonable judgment of Parent or its counsel, may be required or appropriate
for inclusion in the Parent Proxy Statement, or in any amendments or supplements
thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other's
counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Parent Proxy Statement. If the
Parent Proxy Statement pertains to approval of the Merger itself as opposed to
any amendment of Parent's certificate of incorporation in order to authorize
additional securities, it shall include the recommendation of the Board of
Directors of the Parent in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and
the Merger. Parent shall use best efforts to cause the Parent Proxy Statement to
be mailed to Parent stockholders as promptly as practicable mailing is
permissible under applicable securities laws and regulations. Parent and the
Company shall promptly provide to each other copies of, consult with each other
regarding and together prepare written responses with respect to any written
comments received from the SEC with respect to the Parent Proxy Statement and
shall advise each other of any oral SEC comments. The Parent Proxy Statement
shall comply as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act.

      SECTION 5.03 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

      (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and
Parent shall use their best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the
Merger as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain and maintain all consents and
other authorizations required to be obtained from any stockholder of the Company
and Parent that may be necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any Governmental
Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations
or orders required to be obtained or made by Parent or the Company or any of
their Subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) make all
necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with
respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under (A) the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, and any other applicable federal or state securities Laws
and (B) any other applicable Law; provided, that Parent and the Company shall
cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings,
including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its
advisors prior to filing, and, if requested, to accept all reasonable additions,
deletions or changes suggested by the other party in connection therewith. The
Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information required for any
application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of
any applicable Law (including all information required to be included in the
Registration Statement) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

      (b) (i) Each of Parent and the Company shall give (or shall cause its
respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and
cause its respective Subsidiaries to use, their commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain any third party consents, (A) necessary, proper or advisable to
consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, or (B) required to
prevent a material adverse effect of the Company or Parent from occurring prior
to or after the Effective Time.

            (ii) In the event that Parent or the Company shall fail to obtain
any third party consent described in subsection (b)(i) above, it shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably
requested by the other party, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company
and Parent, their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses
resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result after the Effective
Time, from the failure to obtain such consent.

                                       33
<PAGE>

      (c) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party
shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any pending or, to the
knowledge of the first party, threatened action, proceeding or investigation by
any Governmental Authority or any other person (i) challenging or seeking
material damages in connection with the Merger or the conversion of the Company
Common Stock into the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger or (ii)
seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Merger or otherwise
limit the right of Parent or, to the knowledge of such party, Parent's
Subsidiaries to own or operate all or any portion of the businesses or assets of
the Company or its Subsidiaries, which in either case is reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company or Parent prior to or after the
Effective Time.

      (d) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) cause the legal and
valid formation of Merger Sub by filing a certificate of incorporation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; (ii) shall file the Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; and (iii)
shall cause its certificate of incorporation to be amended as necessary to
increase its authorized capital stock at least as much as is required in order
to permit the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock underlying the
Initial Junior Preferred Stock and the Subsequent Junior Preferred Stock.

      (e) Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall cause each shareholder of
Company to furnish to Parent in writing such information, representations,
warranties and undertakings to Parent as Parent may reasonably request, in such
customary form as Parent may reasonably request, in order to substantiate that
each such shareholder is an "accredited investor" and that Parent may issue
shares to such persons in the Merger in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. Such writing is sometimes hereafter
referred to as the "accredited investor representation".

      SECTION 5.04 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

      (a) From the date hereof until the Effective Time, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its
officers, directors, employees, auditors and agents of the Company and its
Subsidiaries to, afford the officers, employees and agents of the Parent
complete access at all reasonable times to the officers, employees, agents,
properties, offices, plants and other facilities, books and records of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and shall furnish Parent with such financial,
operating and other data and information as Parent through its officers,
employees or agents, may reasonably request. Any investigation pursuant to this
Section shall be conducted in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the
conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

      (b) Parent and the Company shall continue to be bound by the Letter
Agreement re: Confidentiality dated December 23, 2002 (the "Confidentiality
Agreement"). SECTION 5.05 Indemnification and Insurance.

      (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving
Corporation shall jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each present and former
director, stockholder, officer or employee of the Company and its Subsidiary
(collectively, the "Company Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any
actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to any acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the same extent as
provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any
applicable contract or agreement as in effect on the date hereof, accurate and
complete copies of which contracts and agreements have been provided to the
Parent prior to the date hereof, in each case for a period of six years after
the date hereof; provided, that in no event shall Parent and the Surviving
Corporation's aggregate liability under this Section 5.05(a) exceed $500,000;
provided, further, that this provision shall not operate to extend the term of
any indemnification provided under any applicable contract or agreement;
provided, further, that to the extent this Section 5.05 conflicts with any other
agreement between the Company and any Company Indemnified Party, the terms of
this Agreement shall control and such prior agreement shall be deemed to have
been superseded. In the event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or
made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of
such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim.

                                       34
<PAGE>

      (b) The former holders of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred
Stock shall jointly and not severally, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and each of its Subsidiaries
(including the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date), and their
respective directors, officers, employees and representatives, and their
respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Parent Indemnified
Parties"), from all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, demands, claims,
actions, judgments or causes of action, assessments, costs or expenses
(including, without limitation, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) ("Parent Damages") based upon, arising out of or
otherwise in respect of (i) any inaccuracy in or any breach of any
representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement (including
the Schedules attached thereto), or (ii) any breach by the Company on or prior
to the Closing Date of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to
be performed by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, or (iii) any breach
of any accredited person representation; provided, that in no event shall the
former holders' of the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock
aggregate liability under this Section 5.05(b) exceed the Merger Consideration
Setoff.

      (c) Prior to the Closing Date and upon the election of the majority
holders of the Company Preferred Stock, the Surviving Corporation, or the
Company shall purchase a "tail" policy under the Company's existing directors'
and officers' insurance policy that (i) has an effective term of six years from
the Effective Time, (ii) covers those Persons who are currently covered, or will
be covered on or prior to the Effective Time, by the Company's directors' and
officers' insurance policies in effect on the date hereof with respect to
matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and (iii) contains terms and
conditions (including without limitation coverage amounts) that are not
materially less favorable in the aggregate as the terms and conditions of the
Company's directors' and officers' insurance policies in effect on the date
hereof; provided, however, Parent, Surviving Corporation or Company (with the
prior written consent of the Parent), as the case may be, shall be entitled to
reduce the term of coverage, if necessary, to a term of coverage that can be
obtained for an aggregate premium equal to $200,000 plus any unearned premium
actually refunded or credited to the Surviving Corporation or Parent with
respect to the Company's existing directors' and officers' insurance policies.
In the event that Parent or Surviving Corporation obtains insurance hereunder
from a carrier or carriers other than the Company's existing carriers, such
carrier or carriers shall be reasonably comparable to the Company's existing
carriers in all material respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Surviving
Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any negative
change in such coverage that is attributable to a market change in the types of
coverage or levels of coverage generally available for similarly situated
insureds. To the extent the holders of a majority of the Company Preferred Stock
request the purchase of a "tail" policy, 50% of the actual amount of the
purchase price of the "tail" policy shall be the "Tail Policy Deduction" and
deducted from the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.06(a)
herein.

      (d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their
respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other
person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of
such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the
Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set
forth in this Section 5.05.

                                       35
<PAGE>

      (e) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 5.05 shall be
enforceable by, and are intended to benefit, each Indemnified Party.

      SECTION 5.06 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give
prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of
(a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence, or
non-occurrence, of which reasonably could be expected to cause any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or
inaccurate in any material respect and (b) any failure of the Company, Parent or
Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant or
agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however,
that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall not limit or
otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such
notice.

      SECTION 5.07 Claims for Parent Damages

      (a) In the event that Parent has incurred or paid or has properly accrued
(in accordance with GAAP) Parent Damages (as defined in Section 5.05(b) herein),
Parent shall provide written notice (the "Claim Notice") to the Sellers'
Representative setting forth in reasonable detail the individual item(s) of
Parent Damages which shall include the amount of such damages, the date such
damages were incurred, paid or properly accrued (in accordance with GAAP), or
the basis for such anticipated liability and the specific nature of the breach
to which such item is related.

      (b) Within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Claim Notice, the
Sellers' Representative shall have the right to contest the Parent Damages and
shall so notify Parent in writing ("Claim Dispute"). Within five (5) days of
receipt by Parent of the Claim Dispute, the parties shall in good faith agree
upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.
If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation within fifteen (15)
days of receipt by Parent of the Claim Dispute, then the parties shall mutually
appoint an arbitrator and the decision by such arbitrator shall be final and
binding on the parties. Any such arbitration shall be held in New York, New York
under the commercial rules then in effect of the American Arbitration
Association. All costs and expenses incurred by either party in connection with
such arbitration, including fees to be paid to the arbitrator, shall be borne by
the non-prevailing party.

      (c) Upon execution and delivery of a certificate ("Claim Certificate")
which is (a) signed either by (i) both the chief financial officer of Parent and
the Sellers' Representative or (ii) by the aforesaid arbitrator, and (b) which
states that Parent is entitled to a claim for an amount set forth in such Claim
Certificate, the Parent shall be entitled to reduce the Second Merger
Consideration Payment by such number of Shares as is necessary to indemnify
Parent for such Parent Damages ("Merger Consideration Setoff"). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Merger Consideration Setoff shall in no
event exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Second Merger
Consideration Payment based upon the Second Valuation Amount, provided that such
Second Valuation Amount shall in no event exceed $3.70 or be less than $1.90.

      SECTION 5.08 Listing Requirements. Parent has already applied to list the
securities of Parent on The American Stock Exchange. Parent shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Sellers' Representative, take any other action,
including without limitation applying for listing on the American Stock
Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, or any other
exchange or over-the-counter market, that would require or otherwise subject the
approval of the Merger to a vote of the stockholders of Parent.

      SECTION 5.09 Authorized Capital Stock. To the extent necessary, Parent
shall amend ("Parent Capital Increase Amendment") its certificate of
incorporation as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event
more than forty five (45) days thereafter) to increase its authorized capital
stock in order to permit the conversion of the Initial Junior Preferred Stock
and Subsequent Junior Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Stock. In the
event that at the Effective Time, Parent should not reserve sufficient shares of
its Parent Common Stock to cover the conversion of shares of Parent Junior
Preferred Stock into Parent Common Stock, and Parent should not have increased
its authorized capital stock within forty-five (45) days after the Effective
Time sufficiently for Parent to so reserve such stock (and Parent shall not have
so reserved such stock), the date upon which the Parent fails to satisfy either
condition shall be a "Capital Stock Warrant Issuance Trigger Date". In the event
that Parent shall need to include Company financial information in its proxy
materials to effect the Parent Capital Increase Amendment or otherwise furnish
the same to the SEC, then the forty-five (45) day period referred to in the
preceding sentence shall be extended for a period (the "Parent Capital Increase
Extension Period") equal to one day for each day after the date hereof on which
Parent has not received all of the items to be furnished to Parent pursuant to
Section 5.01(h)) of this Agreement. Provided that each of the parties listed on
Schedule 5.09 shall have voted all of their shares of Parent securities to
approve the Parent Capital Increase Amendment then, upon any Capital Stock
Warrant Issuance Trigger Date, Parent shall forthwith, and in no event later
than five (5) business days thereafter, issue to each of the holders of Initial
Junior Preferred Stock a warrant (the "Capital Stock Penalty Warrant")
exercisable into such number of shares of Initial Junior Preferred Stock that
equal four percent (4%) of the Initial Junior Preferred Stock held by each such
holder at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. In addition, if, for the
subsequent thirty (30) day period, or for any thirty (30) day period subsequent
to such period, Parent fails to effect the Parent Capital Increase Amendment,
and such failure would result in a Capital Stock Warrant Issuance Trigger Date
upon the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period, Parent, promptly (and in no
event later than five (5) business days) after the expiration of each such
additional thirty (30) day period, shall issue an additional Capital Stock
Penalty Warrant to each of the holders of the Initial Junior Preferred Stock
exercisable into such number of shares of Initial Junior Preferred Stock that
equal four percent (4%) of the Initial Junior Preferred Stock held by each such
holder at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall Parent be obligated to issue Capital Stock Penalty Warrants
which, in the aggregate, would equal or exceed either of the following numbers
of Capital Stock Penalty Warrants: (A) that number of Capital Stock Penalty
Warrants which would entitle the holders of the Registrable Securities, in the
aggregate, to purchase shares of Parent Junior Preferred Stock convertible into
shares of Parent Common Stock equal to more than 30% of the Parent Common Stock
into which such Registrable Securities are initially convertible (subject to
adjustments for stock splits, reclassification of shares, etc.) or (B) that
number of Capital Stock Penalty Warrants which would entitle the holders of
Registrable Securities, in the aggregate, to purchase so many shares of Parent
Junior Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock as to require shareholder approval
for such issuance or for the offering of the same, as a whole, either under
applicable securities or corporate law, Parent's certificate of incorporation or
bylaws, or the rules of any exchange or other trading market on which the
Company's securities are now or hereafter traded. Each Capital Stock Penalty
Warrant shall be exercisable for five (5) years after the date of issuance,
except for earlier expiration upon ten business days after delivery of written
notice by Parent to each holder of such Warrants that the average of the market
price of the Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent Junior Preferred Stock
has traded for a period of thirty consecutive trading days at a value equal to
or greater than Four Hundred Percent (400%) of the then-applicable Capital Stock
Penalty Warrant exercise price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above, Parent shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations under
this Section 5.09 (or similar provisions in any other ancillary document) in the
event that Parent has not filed the Parent Capital Stock Increase Amendment
within ninety (90) days after the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing
shall in no event affect Parent's obligations with respect to the issuance of
the Capital Stock Penalty Warrants within the time frames prescribed and as
otherwise set forth herein.

      SECTION 5.10 Employee Carveout Plan. The Board of the Company shall adopt
an Employee Carveout Plan within seven (7) Business Days as of the Effective
Time. Such an Employee Carveout Plan shall be delivered to Parent within such
seven (7) Business Days.

                        TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

      SECTION 6.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger
may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding any
requisite approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby by the stockholders of the Company:

      (a) by Parent or the Company if (i) the Effective Time shall not have
occurred on or before August 30, 2004; provided, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 6.01(a)(i) shall not be available to any party
whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause
of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such
date; or (ii) (w) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Merger
illegal or otherwise prohibited, (x) if any court of competent jurisdiction or
Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree, ruling or taken any
other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such
order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable
or (y) if any Governmental Authority shall bring a criminal indictment against
either Parent or the Company which is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse effect on Parent or a material adverse effect on the Company, as the
case may be;

      (b) by Parent or the Company as a result of either party's bankruptcy,
liquidation, dissolution or insolvency prior to the earlier of: (i) the Closing
Date or (ii) the Effective Time;

      (c) by Parent if Parent shall not have received the accredited investor
representations, reasonably satisfactory to Parent in form and in substance,
from each shareholder of Company to whom Parent is obligated to issue any Merger
Consideration (other than the Cash Payment, the Employee Carveout Payment, or
the ADN Carveout (as defined in the Settlement Agreement)) hereunder prior to
the Closing; or

      (d) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent.

      SECTION 6.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of a termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.01, this Agreement shall forthwith be
terminated, there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the part of
Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective officers or
directors and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease;
provided, however, if such termination shall result from the willful (i) failure
of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of
the other party or (ii) failure of either party to perform a covenant hereof,
such party shall be fully liable for any and all liabilities and damages,
incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of such failure; provided,
further, that in the event of such a termination, the parties hereto agree to be
governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2003, by and between Parent and the Company (the
"Original Agreement") and that such Original Agreement shall be deemed to be in
full force and effect with respect to the parties. The provisions of this
Section 6.02, 7.07 and 7.08 of this Agreement shall survive any termination.

                                       38
<PAGE>

      SECTION 6.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties
hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors
at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, that after the adoption of
this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment may be made
which would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration to be received
by the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Merger absent any required
stockholder approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.

      SECTION 6.04 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party
hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other
act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations
and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered
by the other party pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement
or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound
thereby.

      SECTION 6.05 Sole Remedy. The Merger Consideration Setoff shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy by Parent under this Agreement, apart from actions for
fraud and the rights of Parent to terminate this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VII

contemplates performance after the Effective Time or earlier termination.

Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the
Merger be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

      SECTION 7.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among
the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof,
including without limitation the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 27,

(whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), except that
Parent may assign all or any of their rights and obligations hereunder to any
Subsidiary of Parent, provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the
assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform
such obligations.

      SECTION 7.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any
right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this
Agreement, other than Indemnified Parties under Section 5.05 (which is intended
to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such
persons).

      SECTION 7.06 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were
not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be
entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other
remedy at law or equity.

construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts executed in and to be performed in that State without giving effect to
laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of
laws. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement
shall be heard and determined in any court within the State of New York. The
parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or
federal court sitting within the State of New York for the purpose of any action
arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and
(b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or
otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to
the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or
immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an
inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that this
Agreement or the Merger may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named
courts.

      SECTION 7.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby
waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have
to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising
out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Merger. Each of the
parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any
other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would
not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b)
acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this
Agreement and the Merger, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual
waivers and certifications in this Section 7.08.

      SECTION 7.09 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this
Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in
any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

      SECTION 7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered
(including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed
shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

      SECTION 7.11 Transaction Fees. Parent shall be responsible for all fees
and expenses incurred by it or Merger Sub, and, if the Merger is consummated,
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Company (provided, that
invoices from such counsel are received by Parent prior to the Closing Date),
incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereunder (the "Transaction Fees"). Any fees and expenses paid by Parent in
excess of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) shall be deemed to be Transaction
Fees for purposes of Section 2.06 above. In the event that the Merger is not
consummated, the Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of its
counsel.

      SECTION 7.12 Closing Efforts. The Parent and the Company each shall use
their reasonable best efforts to take all actions and to do all things
necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, including using their reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i)
its representations and warranties remain true and correct in all material
respects through the Closing Date and (ii) its covenants and obligations are
satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, pursuant
to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), as amended, the following resolution was adopted as of August
2, 2004 by the Board pursuant to Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation

      1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall hereby be created and
established a series of Preferred Stock designated as "Series D-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock" (the "Series D-1_Preferred Stock"). Subject to the following
sentence, the authorized number of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be

redesignated and reissued in any series other than as Series D-1 Preferred
Stock.

      2. Conversion.

      (a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be
convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable
Liquidation Amount (as defined in Section 5 herein) divided by the then
applicable Conversion Price (as defined herein) upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the election of the holder to convert (an "Optional Conversion"), in whole or in
part, at any time, or from time to time, commencing with date of the issuance of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock (the "Issuance Date") or (ii) the earliest to occur
of the following dates (an "Automatic Conversion"): (A) the date, at any time
after the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, upon which both (x) the

thirty consecutive Trading Days (as defined herein) exceeds $8.85818182 (subject
to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations or similar events) and (y) the average of the
trading volume for the Common Stock during such period exceeds 150,000 shares
per day (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events) shares per Trading
Day; or (B) upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

      (b) As used herein, "Market Price" means, with respect to the shares of
Common Stock, (i) if the shares are listed or admitted for trading on any
national securities exchange or included in The Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, the last reported sales price as reported on such exchange or
market; (ii) if the shares are not listed or admitted for trading on any
national securities exchange or included in The Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, the average of the last reported closing bid and asked
quotation for the shares as reported on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or a similar service if NASDAQ is

admitted for trading on any national securities exchange or included in The
Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market or quoted by NASDAQ or a
similar service, the average of the last reported bid and asked quotation for
the shares as quoted by a market maker in the shares (or if there is more than
one market maker, the bid and asked quotation shall be obtained from two market
makers and the average of the lowest bid and highest asked quotation) (such
applicable trading market to be referred to the "Trading Market"). In the
absence of any available public quotations for the Common Stock, the Board shall
determine in good faith the fair value of the Common Stock, which determination
shall be set forth in a certificate by the Secretary of the Company.

      As used herein, "Trading Day" means a day on which the principal Trading
Market with respect to the Common Stock is open for the transaction of business.

      (c) Effecting a Conversion. Immediately upon the occurrence of an
Automatic Conversion, each holder's shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, shall
be deemed to have been converted into the applicable number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock in accordance with the then applicable Conversion Price,
and certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall be issued to such
holder within five business days after receipt of the applicable certificates
evidencing such holder's shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, together with
other customary documentation (including delivery instructions). The holder
shall effect any Optional Conversion by surrendering the certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, to be
converted to the Company, together with written notice of its election to
convert and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate
or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued (a "Stockholder
Conversion Notice"). Each Stockholder Conversion Notice shall specify the number
of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock to be converted and the date on which
such conversion is to be effected, which date may be neither prior to, nor more
than 10 days after, the date the holder delivers such Stockholder Conversion
Notice. If no conversion date is specified in a Stockholder Conversion Notice,
the conversion date shall be the date that the Stockholder Conversion Notice is
delivered. Each Stockholder Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.
A holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock may only convert shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock in blocks equal to not less than the lesser of (i) the number of
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, convertible into 5,000
shares of Common Stock and (ii) all shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock then
held by the stockholder. If the holder is converting less than all shares of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by the certificate or
certificates tendered by the holder with the Stockholder Conversion Notice, the
Company shall convert the number of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock so
specified and shall promptly deliver (but not more than fifteen business days
later) to such holder a certificate for such number of shares as have not been
converted. Upon an Automatic Conversion, the Company shall notify each holder
thereof and each holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
representing all of the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock owned by such
holder and each holder of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be deemed
to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issued upon such Automatic
Conversion. All fractional shares resulting from the conversion of the Series
D-1 Preferred Stock shall be rounded up to the next highest whole share. All
certificates representing shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Company for cancellation and canceled by
it. As promptly as practicable (but no more than five business days) after the
surrender of any shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the Company shall
(subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of federal and state
securities laws) deliver to the holder of such shares so surrendered
certificate(s) representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock into which such shares are entitled to be converted. Upon a
conversion, any accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid either in cash, to
the extent funds are legally available therefor, or shares of Common Stock
valued at the Market Price, in the sole discretion of the Company.

                                       3

      (d) Conversion Price. The initial conversion price per share of the Series
D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable (the "Conversion Price"), shall be equal to
$2.214545455 per share of Common Stock into which such number of share of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock is convertible, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
3.

      (e) Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock
solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series D-1 Preferred
Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the rights of the holders of
the Series A-1 and Series A-2 Preferred Stock and any corresponding rights that
may be granted to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, and the rights of
the holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this clause, not less
than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock; provided,
that enforcement of the covenant to reserve shares shall be subject to such
grace period as is reflected in the Merger Agreement. The Company covenants that
all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly
and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and freely
tradeable.

      If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as
shall be available to the holders of such Series D-1 Preferred Stock the Company
will take such corporate action necessary to increase its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient
for such purposes.

      (f) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay all issue taxes, if any, incurred
in respect of the issue of shares of Common Stock on conversion. If a holder of
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock specifies that the shares of Common Stock
to be issued on Automatic Conversion are to be issued in a name or names other
than the name or names in which such Series D-1 Preferred Stock stand or the
names of affiliates of the initial holder of such shares, then the Company shall
not be required to pay any additional transfer or other taxes incurred by reason
of the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to the name of another, and if
the appropriate transfer taxes shall not have been paid to the Company or the
transfer agent for the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the time of
Automatic Conversion of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, the
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof may be registered in the
name or names in which the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, were
registered, despite the instructions to the contrary.

      3. Adjustment of Conversion Price.

      (a) Definition of Additional Stock. For purposes of this Section 3,
"Additional Shares of Common Stock" includes all shares of Common Stock issued
by the Company after the Issuance Date, other than:

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (i) The shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock or shares of the
Company's Series D-2 Preferred Stock, or the shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of shares of the Company's Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Company's
Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, the
Company's Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Company's Series D-1 Preferred Stock,
or the Company's Series D-2 Preferred Stock;

            (ii) Shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for
any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
affecting such shares) issuable or issued to the Company's employees, directors
or consultants pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan approved
by the Board;

            (iii) Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
subsection 3(d) below;

            (iv) Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of options, warrants or upon conversion of convertible securities or
other rights outstanding as of the Issuance Date; and

            (v) Shares of capital stock or options or warrants to purchase
capital stock issued (a) to financial institutions or lessors in connections
with commercial credit agreements, equipment financings or similar transactions
or (b) to other corporations, persons or entities in connection with
acquisitions, mergers or similar business combinations, partnership
arrangements, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or similar non-capital
raising transactions approved by the Board, including within this exception
shares issued to raise capital provided that the use of proceeds is to
consummate such non-capital raising transactions.

      The number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of the
Series D-1 Preferred Stock and the Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in accordance with the following provisions:

      (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. In the event that the Company
shall at any time or from time to time, prior to conversion of shares of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock (x) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares or (y) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then, and in each such case, the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other
appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) so that the holder of any
share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities
of the Company that such holder would have owned or would have been entitled to
receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had such share
of Series D-1 Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence
of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall become
effective retroactively in the case of any such subdivision or combination, to
the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes
effective.

      (c) Stock Dividends. In case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued
as a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (or such dividend is
declared), the Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the date a record is
taken of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of receiving such dividend
or other distribution (or if no such record is taken, as at the earliest of the
date of such declaration, payment or other distribution), to the Conversion
Price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such declaration, payment or other distribution by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the declaration or payment of such dividend or other
distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the declaration or payment
of such dividend or other distribution. In the event that the Company shall
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire
Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made
a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum
number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

                                       5
<PAGE>

      (d) Recapitalization or Reclassification of Common Stock. In case of any
(i) capital reorganization or any reclassification (other than a change in par
value) of the capital stock of the Company, or (ii) exchange or conversion of
the Common Stock for or into securities of another corporation or other entity,
or (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person
(other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or (iv) sale,
lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, then in each instance referred to in the preceding clauses (i) through
(iv), except in the case of a "Change in Control Transaction" (as such term is
hereinafter defined in Section 11), the Board and the person formed by such
consolidation or resulting from such capital reorganization, reclassification or
merger or which acquires (by sale, lease or other conveyance) such assets, as
the case may be, shall make provision such that the Series D-1 Preferred Stock
shall thereafter be convertible for the kind and amount of shares of stock,
other securities, cash and other property receivable upon such capital
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other
conveyance, as the case may be, by a holder of shares of Common Stock equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series D-1 Preferred Stock,
as applicable, issuable upon the conversion of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock
immediately prior to the effective date of such capital reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, lease or other conveyance and, in
each instance referred to in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) (each, a
"Transaction"), appropriate adjustment (as reasonably determined in good faith
by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set
forth with respect to rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth herein
(including the specified changes in and other adjustments of the number of
shares underlying the Series D-1 Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be
applicable, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any such shares of
stock or other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon
conversion of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock. The Company shall not enter into
any Transaction unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to
the provisions set forth in this subsection (d).

      The Company shall not effect any transaction described in this subsection
3(d) unless (i) it first gives twenty (20) days' prior written notice of such
merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or
other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the holders of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the Series D-1 Preferred Stock)
and (ii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company)
assumes by written instrument the obligations of this subsection 3(d). The
provisions of this subsection 3(d) shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, reorganizations, reclassifications, exchanges, conversions,
mergers, sales, leases and other conveyances.

      (e) Issuance of Stock at Less than Conversion Price. If the Company shall
issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock after the Issuance Date (other than
as provided in the foregoing subsections 3(b) through 3(d)), for no
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in
effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then in such event,
the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

            (i) an amount equal to (x) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (y)
the Aggregate Consideration Received (as such term is defined in subsection
3(g)(v)) or deemed to be received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, by

            (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such issuance or sale.

                                       6
<PAGE>

      (f) Issuance of Options and Convertible Securities Deemed Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time or from time to
time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any options, warrants or rights to
purchase Common Stock (collectively, "Options") or securities that, by their
terms, directly or indirectly, are convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") or shall fix a record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such
Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and
Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities,
shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued under this
Certificate as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall
have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that
in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be
issued:

            (i) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon
the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities and, upon the expiration of any such Option or the termination of any
such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion
Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Conversion
Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or
termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding
immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued, and the
Common Stock issuable thereunder shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding;

            (ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the
occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent
adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming
effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it
affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, provided that no readjustment pursuant to this clause
(B) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which
exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date,
or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such
readjustment date; and

            (iii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any decrease in the
consideration payable to the Company, or increase in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the
occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent
adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such decrease or increase becoming
effective, be recomputed to reflect such decrease or increase insofar as it
affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, provided that no readjustment pursuant to this clause
(C) shall have the effect of decreasing the Conversion Price to an amount which
exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date,
or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such
readjustment date.

      (g) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustment Under this Section 3. The
following provisions shall be applicable to the adjustments in the Conversion
Price as provided in this Section 3.

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (i) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include any shares thereof then directly or
indirectly owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

            (ii) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. If the Company shall take
any action affecting the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock other than
an action described in any of the foregoing subsections 3(b) through 3(f)
hereof, inclusive, which would have an inequitable effect on the holders of the
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such
manner and at such times as the Board on the advice of the Company's independent
public accountants may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.

            (iii) Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made if the amount of any such adjustment would be an amount less than
one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price then in effect, but any such amount
shall be carried forward and an adjustment in respect thereof shall be made at
the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with
such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate
an increase or decrease of one percent (1%) or more.

            (iv) Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted
upward except in the event of a combination of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.

            (v) Determination of Consideration.

                  (A) For purposes of subsection 3(e), the "Effective Price" of
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing
the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed
to have been issued or sold, by the Corporation under subsection 3(e), into the
Aggregate Consideration Received, or deemed to have been received, by the
Company under this subsection 3(e), for the issue of such Additional Shares of
Common Stock

                  (B) For purposes of this Subsection 3(f), the Aggregate
Consideration Received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

                  (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

                                    (1)     insofar as it consists  of cash,  be
                                            computed  at  the  aggregate   gross
                                            amount  of  cash   received  by  the
                                            Company  before   deduction  of  any
                                            underwriting or similar commissions,
                                            compensation or concessions  paid or
                                            allowed by the Company in connection
                                            with such issue or sale and  without
                                            deduction of any expenses payable by
                                            the  Company and  excluding  amounts
                                            paid or payable for accrued interest
                                            or accrued dividends;

                                    (2)     insofar as it  consists  of property
                                            other than cash,  be computed at the
                                            fair  market  value  thereof  at the
                                            time of such issue, as determined in
                                            good faith by the Board; and

in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other
shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which
covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as
provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

                  (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per
share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued pursuant to subsection 3(f)(ii), relating to Options and
Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

                                    (1)     the total amount,  if any,  received
                                            or  receivable  by  the  Company  as
                                            consideration  for the issue of such
                                            Options or  Convertible  Securities,
                                            plus the minimum aggregate amount of
                                            additional   consideration  (as  set
                                            forth  in the  instruments  relating
                                            thereto,   without   regard  to  any
                                            provision  contained  therein  for a
                                            subsequent    adjustment   of   such
                                            consideration)    payable   to   the
                                            Company  upon the  exercise  of such
                                            Options   or   the   conversion   or
                                            exchange    of   such    Convertible
                                            Securities,   or  in  the   case  of
                                            Options for Convertible  Securities,
                                            the  exercise  of such  Options  for
                                            Convertible   Securities   and   the
                                            conversion   or   exchange  of  such
                                            Convertible Securities, by

                                    (2)     the  maximum  number  of  shares  of
                                            Common  Stock  (as set  forth in the
                                            instruments     relating    thereto,
                                            without   regard  to  any  provision
                                            contained  therein for a  subsequent
                                            adjustment of such number)  issuable
                                            upon the exercise of such Options or
                                            the  conversion  or exchange of such
                                            Convertible Securities.

            (i) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of Section
3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series D-1
Preferred Stock against impairment.

            (j) Notices of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted as herein provided, the Chief Financial Officer (or other senior
executive officer in the absence of such person) of the Company shall, in good
faith, compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with the foregoing
provisions and shall prepare a written certificate setting forth such adjusted
Conversion Price and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is
based, and such written instrument shall promptly be delivered to each record
holder of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

      4. Ranking.

      The Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall rank, as to dividends, rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, junior to the Company's Series A-1,
Series A-2, Series B and Series B-2 Preferred Stock, and shall rank senior and
prior to (i) the Common Stock and (ii) each other class or series of capital
stock of the Company hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu
with or senior to the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, except (x) as otherwise
approved by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
(y) the Series D-2 Preferred Stock (the "Subsequent Junior Preferred Stock") to
be issued pursuant to the transaction in which this Series D-1 Preferred Stock
is issued, which will rank pari passu with the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, and
(z) the Series C Preferred Stock (the "DCS Transaction Preferred Stock"), which
will rank senior to the Series D-1 Preferred Stock and the Series D-2 Preferred
Stock and may be ranked senior to other series of the Company's preferred stock,
and which the Company anticipates issuing in connection with the financing in
which the Company is engaged as of the date of issuance of this Series D-1
Preferred Stock, principally for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to
complete the Company's acquisition of DCS Automotive Ltd.. (All equity
securities of the Company to which the Series D-1 Preferred Stock ranks senior
to, whether with respect to dividends, rights upon liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or otherwise, including the Common Stock, are collectively referred
to herein as "Junior Securities," all equity securities of the Company to which
the Series D-1 Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with, whether with respect to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, winding up or otherwise, are
collectively referred to herein as "Parity Securities" and all equity securities
of the Company to which the Series D-1 Preferred Stock ranks junior, whether
with respect to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, winding up or
otherwise are collectively referred to herein as "Senior Securities").

      5. Liquidation Rights.

      SECTION 7.13 Liquidation Preference. Upon a voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, under applicable bankruptcy or reorganization legislation, or
dissolution or winding up of the Company (each a "Liquidation"), before any
distribution of assets shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities, the
holder of each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its
stockholders (the "Available Assets") an amount per share equal to the
"Liquidation Amount." For purposes of a Liquidation, the Liquidation Amount
shall mean the original issue price per share of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock
($2.214545455, as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, combinations or other
recapitalization of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock) plus all dividends accrued
but unpaid on such share (whether or not declared) up to the date of the
Liquidation (the "Liquidation Preference"). Upon the completion of the
distribution required by this subsection 4(a), and any other distribution to any
other class or series of Senior Securities, if assets remain in the Company, the
remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders shall
be distributed among the holders of shares of any other series of preferred
stock in accordance with their respective terms, then to the holders of Common
Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of the Common Stock actually
outstanding and held by holders of shares of Common Stock.

      SECTION 7.14 Priority. If the Available Assets are insufficient to pay the
holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock the full amount of the Liquidation Amount,
the holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, will share ratably
in the distribution of the Available Assets in proportion to the respective
amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them
upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares
were paid in full.

      SECTION 7.15 Notice. The Company will send a written notice of a
Liquidation to the holders of record of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, stating
a payment date, the Liquidation Amount and the place where the Liquidation
Amount will be paid, using any of the following delivery methods: (i) in person;
(ii) mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; or (iii)
sent by national courier, not less than 25 days prior to the payment date stated
therein. The notice will be addressed to each holder at its address as shown by
the records of the Company.

      6. Appraisal. If a majority in interest of the holders of the Series D-1
Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, reasonably disagrees with any of the Board's
determinations referred to in Section 2, Section 3 or Section 5 above (each, a
"Determination"), then the Company and a majority in interest of such holders
(the "Series D-1 Representative") shall use good faith efforts to mutually agree
upon the designation of a single Qualified Appraiser (as defined below) within
seven (7) business days of such event requiring a Determination. The date of
such event requiring a Determination shall be referred to as the "Determination
Date." If such a single Qualified Appraiser is designated, that person shall
make a Determination. If the Company and the Series D-1 Representative do not so
agree upon the designation of a single Qualified Appraiser within such period,
then within five (5) business days following the end of such period, each of the
Company and the Series D-1 Representative by written notice to the other shall
designate a Qualified Appraiser (or if any party fails to select a Qualified
Appraiser within the time period specified, the person selected by the other
party shall be the Qualified Appraiser) and the two Qualified Appraisers so
designated shall within ten (10) business days of their designation jointly
designate a third Qualified Appraiser and solely such third Qualified Appraiser
so designated shall independently make a Determination. If there is only a
single Qualified Appraiser, the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser
shall be paid equally by the Company and the Series D-1 Representative. If three
Qualified Appraisers are appointed, the Company shall pay the fees and expenses
of the Qualified Appraiser which it appoints, the Series D-1 Representative
shall pay the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser which it appoints,
and the fees and expenses of the third Qualified Appraiser shall be shared
equally by the Company and the Series D-1 Representative. The designated
Qualified Appraiser shall make the Determination not later than ten (10)
business days following the Determination Date. The Determination made by the
Qualified Appraiser shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties
hereto. None of the Qualified Appraisers shall be affiliated with any of the
Company, the Series D-1 Representative or another Qualified Appraiser. For the
purposes of this Agreement, "Qualified Appraiser" shall mean an individual who
is engaged on a regular basis (although not necessarily full time) in valuing
securities or arrangements similar to this Agreement, as the case may be, and
may include (but shall not be limited to) professional business appraisers,
investment bankers or accountants.

                                       10

      7. Dividends.

      Dividends shall accrue on each outstanding share of Series D-1 Preferred
Stock and on each outstanding share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock at the rate
equal to 5% per annum (pro rated in the first annual period if the initial
Issuance Date is after the commencement of the initial quarterly payment period)
of the initial Liquidation Preference per share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock,
as applicable, whether or not declared by the Board. Such dividends shall accrue
and, if declared, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 30th day of July,
October, January and April of each year (each such date, a "Dividend Payment
Date"). Dividends shall begin to accrue on the Series D-1 Preferred Stock as of
the Issuance Date, provided that the dividends due in respect of the initial
quarterly period shall be pro rated if such Issuance Date is after the
commencement of such quarterly period. Dividends payable on shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock shall be cumulative; therefore, if a full or partial dividend on
the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock with respect to any quarter is not
declared by the Board, the Company shall remain obligated to pay a full dividend
with respect to that quarter, provided, however, that any unpaid dividends shall
not bear interest. At the election of the Company, any accrued but unpaid
dividends may be paid in cash at any time.

      At the election of the Company, each dividend on the Series D-1 Preferred
Stock may be paid in shares of Common Stock. Dividends paid in shares of Common
Stock shall be paid in full shares only, with a cash payment equal to the value
of any fractional shares. The issuance of such shares of Common Stock shall be
valued at the average of the per share Market Price for the ten Trading Day
period immediately preceding the date on which the dividend becomes due. Each
dividend paid in capital stock shall be mailed to the holders of record of the
Series D-1 Preferred Stock as their names and addresses appear on the share
register of the Company or at the office of the transfer agent on the
corresponding dividend payment date. Holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock will
receive written notification from the Company or the transfer agent if a
dividend is paid in kind, which notification will specify the number of shares
of Common Stock paid as a dividend. All holders of shares of Common Stock issued
as dividends shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits relating to
shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.

      After payment of setting aside of the payment of dividends described in
this Section 7, any additional dividends (other dividends on Common Stock
payable solely in Common Stock) declared or paid in any fiscal year shall be
declared or paid among the holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, and Common
Stock then outstanding in proportion to the nearest whole number of shares of
Common Stock which would be held by each such holder if all holders of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock were converted at the then-effective Conversion Rate.

      8. Voting Rights.

      Each holder of outstanding shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock is
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common
Stock into which the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock held of record by such
holder are convertible at each meeting of stockholders of the Company (and
written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all
matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or
consideration. Except as provided by law and by the provisions of Section 9
below, the holders of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together
with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

                                       11
<PAGE>

      Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall provide each holder of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock with prior written notification of any meeting of the
stockholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
stockholders). In the event of any undertaking by the Company of a record of its
stockholders for the purpose of determining stockholders who are entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or
recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining stockholders who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any proposed
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail a
notice to each holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified
therein (or twenty (20) days prior to the consummation of any transaction or
event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and
a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.

      To the extent that under the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") the
vote of the holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting separately as a
class or series as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the
Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority
of the shares of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting together in the
aggregate and not in separate series unless required under the DGCL, represented
at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a
majority of the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be
required under the DGCL), voting together in the aggregate and not in separate
series unless required under the DGCL, shall constitute the approval of such
action by the class or by both series, as applicable. To the extent that under
the DGCL holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a
matter with holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that a
number of votes per share as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
into which it is then convertible using the record date for determining the
stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on such matters as the date as of
which the Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Series D-1 Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to written notice of all stockholder meetings or written
consents (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to
stockholders) with respect to which they would be entitled by vote, which notice
would be provided pursuant to the Company's bylaws and the DGCL).

      9. Protective Provisions.

      (a) So long as the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding,
the Company shall not, take, approve or otherwise ratify any of the following
actions without the consent of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series:

            (i) authorize, issue or agree to authorize or issue any new class or
series of Senior Securities or Parity Securities or securities or rights of any
kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any such Senior
Securities or Parity Securities, or offer, sell or issue any Senior Securities
or Parity Securities or securities or rights of any kind convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for any such Senior Securities or Parity Securities,
other than the Subsequent Junior Preferred Stock and the DCS Transaction
Preferred Stock;

            (ii) purchase, repurchase or redeem shares of (i) Common Stock, (ii)
securities or rights of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock or (iii) other securities of the Company, (except in the case
of a termination of an employee, at which the Company may repurchase or redeem
such shares of Common Stock at cost and pursuant to any agreement under which
such shares of Common Stock were issued);

                                       12
<PAGE>

            (iii) declare or pay dividends or any other distribution on shares
of Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company except as contemplated
herein; or

            (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock; or

            (v) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company
or alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series D-1
Preferred Stock or any Parity Securities or Senior Securities in each case so as
to affect adversely the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series D-1
Preferred Stock other than to permit the issuance of the Subsequent Junior
Preferred Stock or the DCS Transaction Preferred Stock.

      10. Preemptive Right.

      (a) The Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock (the securities issued in such transactions being referred to as the
"Newly Issued Securities"), other than any such issuance or sale which is
excluded from the definition of "Newly Issued Securities" pursuant to Section
10(d), unless prior to the issuance or sale of such Newly Issued Securities the
Company shall have set aside such additional securities as shall be necessary to
enable each holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock to have the opportunity (such
opportunity being herein referred to as the "Preemptive Right") to purchase (on
the same terms as such Newly Issued Securities are sold) the same proportion of
such Newly Issued Securities sold by the Company as (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock (calculated solely on account of outstanding Series D-1 Preferred
Stock on an as converted basis) held by such holder on the day preceding the
issuance and sale of such Newly Issued Securities bears to (y) the total number
of shares of Common Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis with respect to
the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, and any other
Common Stock equivalents which are "in the money") outstanding on the day
preceding the date of the issuance and sale of such Newly Issued Securities.

      (b) Promptly after the issuance and sale by the Company of any Newly
Issued Securities, the Company shall give written notice thereof (the
"Preemptive Notice") to each holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock. The
Preemptive Notice shall specify (i) the number of such Newly Issued Securities
issued or sold, (ii) the price and other terms of their proposed issuance or
sale, (iii) the number of such Newly Issued Securities which such holder is
entitled to purchase (determined as provided in subsection (a) above), and (iv)
the period during which such holder may elect to purchase such Newly Issued
Securities, which period shall extend for at least thirty (30) days following
the receipt by such holder of the Preemptive Notice (the "Preemptive Acceptance
Period"). Each holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock who desires to purchase
Newly Issued Securities shall notify the Company within the Preemptive
Acceptance Period of the number of Newly Issued Securities such holder wishes to
purchase, as well as the number, if any, of additional Newly Issued Securities
such holder would be willing to purchase in the event that all of the Newly
Issued Securities subject to the Preemptive Right are not subscribed for by the
other holders of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, by completing, executing and
delivering to the Company the form of Preemptive Acceptance Election Notice
furnished by the Company with the Preemptive Notice, and depositing sufficient
cash, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Preemptive Acceptance
Election Notice, to consummate the purchase of the purchase of all the
securities such holder has so indicated such holder is willing to purchase. The
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may agree to payment deposit
arrangements other than those set forth in the Preemptive Acceptance Election
Notice, or may decline to accept alternative arrangements for any reason or
without reason.

                                       13
<PAGE>

      (c) After the conclusion of the Preemptive Acceptance Period, the Company
shall promptly take such steps to issue and deliver securities to holders of
Series D-1 Preferred Stock, accept purchase price deposits and return unused
deposits (without interest and less any payment transfer charges as may apply)
as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the exercise of Preemptive
Rights in accordance with this Section 10.

      (d) The term "Newly Issued Securities" shall not include:

            (i) Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series D-1 Preferred Stock, Subsequent Junior
Preferred Stock or DCS Transaction Preferred Stock;

            (ii) Shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for
any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
affecting such shares) issuable or issued to the Company's employees, directors
or consultants pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan approved
by the Board;

            (iii) Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
subsection 3(d);

            (iv) Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of options, warrants or upon conversion of convertible securities or
other rights outstanding as of the Issuance Date;

            (v) Shares of capital stock or options or warrants to purchase
capital stock, issued to financial institutions or lessors in connections with
commercial credit agreements, equipment financings or similar transactions or to
other corporations, persons or entities in connection with acquisitions, mergers
or similar business combinations, partnership arrangements, strategic alliances,
licensing arrangements or similar non-capital raising transactions approved by
the Board, including within this exception from the definition of the term
"Newly Issued Securities" shares issued to raise capital provided that the use
of proceeds is to consummate such non-capital raising transactions;

            (vi) Shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization of the Company;

            (vii) Securities that are issued by the Company pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act;

            (viii) shares issued in exchange, at fair market value, for assets
or equipment to be used by the Company in the ordinary course of business;

            (ix) shares issued pursuant to any of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock
purchase agreements or any of the other documents executed, filed or delivered
in connection therewith; and

            (x) shares of Subsequent Junior Preferred Stock or DCS Transaction
Preferred Stock.

      11. Mandatory Redemption

      (a) On the date which is five (5) years after the Issuance Date (such
fifth anniversary, the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), the Company shall redeem
each then outstanding share of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock for an amount per
share equal to the Liquidation Amount.

                                       14
<PAGE>

      (b) Upon a Change of Control Redemption Event, the Company shall redeem
each then outstanding share of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock for an amount per
share equal to either (x) the Liquidation Amount or (y) the property, rights or
securities which the holder of the shares of Common Stock into which such share
of Series D-1 Preferred Stock could have been converted would have received,
whichever is elected by the holder. For purposes of this Section 11, a "Change
of Control Redemption Event" shall be deemed to have occurred upon a merger,
combination or reorganization of the Company in which more than 50% of the
voting power of the Company is disposed of, or in which the stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to such merger, reorganization or consolidation own
less than 50% of the Company's voting power immediately after, unless a majority
of the holders of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series,
shall have approved of the transaction.

      (b) From and after the latest to occur of (i) the Mandatory Redemption
Date or a Change of Control Redemption Event, and (ii) the date upon which the
Company irrevocably deposits the aggregate Liquidation Amount or the property,
rights or securities which the holder of the shares of Common Stock into which
such share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock could have been converted would have
received, whichever is elected by the applicable holder within the applicable
time period (or the Liquidation Amount if no such election is made within the
applicable time period), in respect of the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock
being redeemed in an account for disbursement to holders of shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock, as applicable, upon receipt of certificates evidencing their
respective shares and other customary documentation for such redemption, no
holder of such Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall have any rights in respect of
such shares other than to receive the applicable Liquidation Amount per share in
respect of such holder's shares.

      12. No Reissuance of Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

      No share or shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock acquired by the Company
by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued,
and all such shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be cancelled, retired
and eliminated from the shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as applicable,
which the Company shall be authorized to issue. Any such shares of Series D-1
Preferred Stock acquired by the Company shall have the status of authorized and
unissued shares of Preferred Stock issuable in undesignated Series and may be
redesignated and reissued in any series other than as Series D-1 Preferred
Stock.

      13. Registered Holders.

      A holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock registered on the Company's stock
transfer books as the owner of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as
applicable, shall be treated as the owner of such shares of all purposes. All
notices and all payments required to be mailed to a holder of shares of Series
D-1 Preferred Stock shall be mailed to such holder's registered address on the
Company's stock transfer books, and all dividends and redemption payments to a
holder of Series D-1 Preferred Stock made hereunder shall be deemed to be paid
in compliance hereof on the date such payments are deposited into the mail
addressed to such holder at such holder's registered address on the Company's
stock transfer books.

      14. Certain Remedies.

      Any registered holder of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions
of this Certificate of Designations and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions of this Certificate of Designations in any court of the United States
or any state thereof having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other
remedy to which such holder may be entitled at law or in equity.

      15. Headings of Subdivisions.

      The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions
hereof.

      16. Severability of Provisions.

      If any right, preference or limitation of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock
set forth herein (as may be amended) from time to time is invalid, unlawful or
incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, such
right, preference or limitation (including, without limitation, the dividend
rate) shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and all other
rights, preferences and limitations set forth herein (as so amended) which can
be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference
or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such
right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

Warrant No. ____

Date of Issuance: ____ __, 2004         Warrant  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of
                                        ______shares of Junior Preferred Stock

      THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [_________________________], or
his/her/its permitted transferees, successors or assigns (collectively, the
"Holder"), is entitled to purchase from AUTO DATA NETWORK, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at any time, and from time to time, during the
exercise period referred to in Section 1 hereof, [__________________________]
([____________]) fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares (the
"Warrant Shares") of Junior Preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.00l per
share (the "Junior Preferred Stock"), at the exercise price of One Dollar and
Ninety Cents ($1.90) per share (the "Warrant Share Price"). Securities issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Share Price payable therefor are
subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth. As used
herein, the term "Warrant" shall include any warrant or warrants hereafter
issued in consequence of the exercise of this Warrant Agreement in part or
transfer of this Warrant in whole or in part. Capitalized terms used herein and
not defined have the respective meanings given to them in that certain Amended
and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 2, 2004, by and
among the Company, the Holder and the other parties named therein (the "Merger
Agreement").

      The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by
the Company for that purpose (the "Warrant Register"), in the name of the record
Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered
Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any
exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes,
and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

                                       5

      Subject to Section 4 of this Warrant and the applicable provisions of the
Merger Agreement and applicable law, the Company shall register the transfer of
any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this
Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed,
to the Transfer Agent (as defined in Section 1.(a) herein) or to the Company.
Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock,
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a "New
Warrant"), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued
to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this
Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.
The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the
acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder
of a Warrant. Any transfer or assignment of this Warrant and Warrant Shares
obtained by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant is subject to any applicable
restrictions under the Merger Agreement, if any, and the requirements that such
securities be registered under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws or exempt from registration under such laws.

      EXERCISE; PAYMENT FOR OWNERSHIP INTEREST.

      (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, this
Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part by the Holder hereof at any time,
or from time to time, on or after the date hereof and on or prior to 5 p.m. New
York local time on the earliest date to occur (the "Expiration Date")of (x)
[INSERT FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ISSUANCE DATE] (the "Expiration Maturity Date")
and (y) the Early Expiration Date, as such term is defined herein, by
presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the principal offices of the
Company, or at the office of its Transfer Agent (the "Transfer Agent"), if any,
together with the Purchase Form annexed hereto, duly executed, and accompanied
by payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Share Price
multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is then
being exercised in U.S. dollars by certified or official bank check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds of the cash purchase price; provided,
however, that in each case, the minimum number of Warrant Shares as to which
this Warrant is being exercised shall be the lesser of (i) 1,000 Warrant Shares
or (ii) all Warrant Shares then held by the Holder on an as exercised basis;
provided, further, that in the event of any merger, consolidation or sale, lease
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, prior to
the Expiration Date, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant
commencing at such time through the Expiration Date into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant might
have been exercisable immediately prior thereto. Any transfer of Warrant Shares
obtained by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant is subject to the requirement
that such transfer be in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Merger
Agreement, if any, and that such securities be registered under the Securities
Act, and applicable state securities laws or exempt from registration under such
laws. The Holder of this Warrant shall be deemed to be a stockholder of the
Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is exercised in accordance herewith
effective immediately after the close of business on the date on which the
Holder shall have delivered to the Company this Warrant in proper form for
exercise and payment in U.S. dollars by certified or official bank check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds of the cash purchase price for the
number of Warrant Shares as to which the exercise is being made, notwithstanding
that the stock transfer books of the Company shall be then closed or that
certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be physically
delivered to the Holder. The Company shall not enter into any merger,
consolidation or sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company unless effective provision shall be made so as to give
effect to the provisions set forth in this subsection (a).

            (i) As used herein, "Early Expiration Date" means ten (10) business
            days after delivery of written notice by the Company to the Holder
            that the average of the Market Price (as defined herein) for a share
            of Company Common Stock underlying the Junior Preferred Stock for
            thirty consecutive trading days was equal to or greater than Four
            Hundred Percent (400%) of the then-applicable Warrant Share Price.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no "Early Expiration
            Date" if the Warrant Shares are not either covered by an effective
            registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable
            exemption from registration under the Securities Act;

                                       6
<PAGE>

            (ii) As used herein, "Market Price" means, with respect to the
            shares of Common Stock, (i) if the shares are listed or admitted for
            trading on any national securities exchange or included in The
            Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the last reported
            sales price as reported on such exchange or market; (ii) if the
            shares are not listed or admitted for trading on any national
            securities exchange or included in The Nasdaq National Market or
            Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average of the last reported closing bid
            and asked quotation for the shares as reported on the National
            Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
            ("NASDAQ") or a similar service if NASDAQ is not reporting such
            information; or (iii) if the shares are not listed or admitted for
            trading on any national securities exchange or included in The
            Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market or quoted by NASDAQ
            or a similar service, the average of the last reported bid and asked
            quotation for the shares as quoted by a market maker in the shares
            (or if there is more than one market maker, the bid and asked
            quotation shall be obtained from two market makers and the average
            of the lowest bid and highest asked quotation) (such applicable
            trading market to be referred to as the "Trading Market"). In the
            absence of any available public quotations for the Common Stock, the
            Board shall determine in good faith the fair value of the Common
            Stock, which determination shall be set forth in a certificate by
            the Secretary of the Company.

            (iii) As used herein, "Trading Day" means a day on which the
            principal Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock is open
            for the transaction of business.

      (b) If this Warrant shall be exercised in part only, the Company, upon
surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, shall execute and deliver, promptly
(but in no event more than ten business days after such surrender), a new
Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of
the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder as to which the Warrant has not been
exercised. If this Warrant is exercised in part, such exercise shall be for a
whole number of Warrant Shares. Upon any exercise and surrender of this Warrant,
the Company (i) will issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest whole number of Warrant
Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised
in whole, in lieu of any fractional Warrant Share to which the Holder otherwise
might be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional
Warrant Share (determined in such reasonable and equitable manner as the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") shall in good faith determine), and
(ii) will deliver promptly thereafter (but in no event more than ten business
days thereafter) to the Holder such other securities, properties and cash which
the Holder may be entitled to receive upon such exercise, or the proportionate
part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of
this Warrant.

      (c) This Warrant may be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise" in
which the Holder shall tender to the Company the Warrant for the amount of
Warrant Shares for which it is being exercised, along with the written notice of
exercise, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the
number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)]
by (A), where:

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (A) = the Market Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
date of such election;

            (B) = the Warrant Share Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

            (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise
rather than a cashless exercise.

      ARTICLE XXXVIII ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. THE WARRANT SHARE PRICE IN
EFFECT AT ANY TIME AND THE NUMBER AND KIND OF SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENT FROM TIME TO TIME UPON THE
HAPPENING OF CERTAIN EVENTS AS FOLLOWS:

      Adjustments.

      (a) Definition of Additional Stock. The term "Additional Shares of Common
Stock" includes all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company after the Date
of Issuance, other than:

            (i) Shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for
any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
affecting such shares) issuable or issued to the Company's employees, directors
or consultants pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan or other
compensation plan approved by the Board;

            (ii) Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
securities outstanding at the Date of Issuance or agreements to issue such
securities or underlying shares of Common Stock which agreements are outstanding
at the Date of Issuance;

            (iii) Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to
subsection 2.1(b)(iv) below;

            (iv) Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or
warrants, or upon conversion of convertible securities or other rights,
outstanding as of the Date of Issuance; and

            (v) Shares of capital stock or options or warrants to purchase
capital stock issued to financial institutions or lessors in connections with
commercial credit agreements, equipment financings or similar transactions or to
other corporations, persons or entities in connection with acquisitions, mergers
or similar business combinations, partnership arrangements, strategic alliances,
licensing arrangements or similar non-capital raising transactions approved by
the Board, including within this exception shares issued to raise capital
provided that the use of proceeds is to consummate such non-capital raising
transactions.

      (b) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common
Stock. In the event that the Company shall at any time or from time to time
after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof:

            (i) make a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of
Common Stock payable in capital stock;

            (ii) subdivide or reclassify or reorganize its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

            (iii) combine or reclassify or reorganize its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

                                       8
<PAGE>

            (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Common Stock or other
reorganization, any Additional Shares of Common Stock;

then the number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted so that the Holder upon exercise hereof shall be
entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of
the Company that the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
after the happening of any of the events described above had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date
with respect thereto. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise hereof is adjusted as herein provided, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which
is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable prior to the
adjustment and the denominator of which is equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable after the adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 2.1(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date in
the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or issuance.
If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), the
Holder of this Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled
to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common
Stock and any other class of capital stock of the Company, the Board (whose good
faith determination shall be applied fairly and ratably to all holders of
Warrants and shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to
all holders of Warrants promptly after such adjustment) shall determine in good
faith the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Share Price between or among the
shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and such other
class of capital stock.

      The adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant described in this Section 2.1(b) shall be made each
time any event listed in paragraphs (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.1(b)
occurs.

      (c) Issuance of Common Stock Below Warrant Share Price. If the Company
shall issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock after the date hereof
(excluding any such issuance for which an adjustment is made under the foregoing
subsection (b)), for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than
the Warrant Share Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such
issue, then in such event, the Warrant Share Price shall be reduced,
concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing:

                  (A) an amount equal to (x) the total number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied
by the Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus
(y) the aggregate consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company
upon such issuance or sale, by

                  (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such issuance or sale.

                                       9
<PAGE>

      (d) Issuance of Options and Convertible Securities Deemed Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time or from time to
time after the Date of Issuance, shall issue any options, warrants or other
rights to purchase Common Stock (collectively, "Options") or securities that, by
their terms, directly or indirectly, are convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock ("Convertible Securities") or shall fix a record date for
the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any
such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to
any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number)
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible
Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as
of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in
which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued pursuant to this
Section 2.1(d):

            (i) no further adjustment in the Warrant Share Price shall be made
            upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of
            Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or
            exchange of such Convertible Securities and, upon the expiration of
            any such Option or the termination of any such right to convert or
            exchange such Convertible Securities, the Warrant Share Price then
            in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Warrant
            Share Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
            expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities,
            to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or
            termination, never been issued, and the Common Stock issuable
            thereunder shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding;

            (ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
            provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in
            the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number
            of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
            exchange thereof, the Warrant Share Price computed upon the original
            issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect
            thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon
            any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to
            reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options
            or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible
            Securities, provided that no readjustment pursuant to this clause
            (ii) shall have the effect of increasing the Warrant Share Price to
            an amount which exceeds the lower of (A) the Warrant Share Price on
            the original adjustment date, or (B) the Warrant Share Price that
            would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common
            Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment
            date;

            (iii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
            provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any decrease in
            the consideration payable to the Company, or increase in the number
            of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
            exchange thereof, the Warrant Share Price computed upon the original
            issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect
            thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon
            any such decrease or increase becoming effective, be recomputed to
            reflect such decrease or increase insofar as it affects such Options
            or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible
            Securities, provided that no readjustment pursuant to this clause
            (iii) shall have the effect of decreasing the Warrant Share Price to
            an amount which exceeds the lower of (A) the Warrant Share Price on
            the original adjustment date, or (B) the Warrant Share Price that
            would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common
            Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment
            date; and

            (iv) if such Options or Convertible Securities cover shares which
            are excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common
            Stock by Section 2.1(a), then this Section 2.1(d) shall not apply to
            those underlying shares.

                                       10

            (iv) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection
            2.1(d), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of
            any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

                  (A) Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

                                    (1)     insofar as it consists  of cash,  be
                                            computed  at the  aggregate  of cash
                                            received by the  Company,  excluding
                                            amounts  paid or payable for accrued
                                            interest or accrued dividends;

                                    (2)     insofar as it  consists  of property
                                            other than cash,  be computed at the
                                            fair  market  value  thereof  at the
                                            time of such issue, as determined in
                                            good faith by the Board; and

in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other
shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which
covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as
provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

                  (B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per
share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to
have been issued pursuant to Subsection 2.1(d)(ii), relating to Options and
Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

                                    (1)     the total amount,  if any,  received
                                            or  receivable  by  the  Company  as
                                            consideration  for the issue of such
                                            Options or  Convertible  Securities,
                                            plus the minimum aggregate amount of
                                            additional   consideration  (as  set
                                            forth  in the  instruments  relating
                                            thereto,   without   regard  to  any
                                            provision  contained  therein  for a
                                            subsequent    adjustment   of   such
                                            consideration)    payable   to   the
                                            Company  upon the  exercise  of such
                                            Options   or   the   conversion   or
                                            exchange    of   such    Convertible
                                            Securities,   or  in  the   case  of
                                            Options for Convertible  Securities,
                                            the  exercise  of such  Options  for
                                            Convertible   Securities   and   the
                                            conversion   or   exchange  of  such
                                            Convertible Securities, by

                                    (2)     the  maximum  number  of  shares  of
                                            Common  Stock  (as set  forth in the
                                            instruments     relating    thereto,
                                            without   regard  to  any  provision
                                            contained  therein for a  subsequent
                                            adjustment of such number)  issuable
                                            upon the exercise of such Options or
                                            the  conversion  or exchange of such
                                            Convertible Securities.

      In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 2.1, the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall become entitled
to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Stock, thereafter the
number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock
contained herein.

                                       11

            Extraordinary Distributions. In case the Company shall at any time
or from time to time, after the issuance of the Warrant but prior to the
exercise hereof, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (including any
such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and the Common Stock is not
changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other
property or assets (excluding any such event for which adjustment is made under
Section 2) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of the
foregoing, then, and in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to
participate in any such distribution based on the number of shares of Common
Stock it would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the occurrence of such distribution, as if the Holder were
the owner of such shares of Common Stock at the time of such distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.1(e) shall be of no force or
effect until and unless such time as the Company shall grant a similar right to
holders of warrants issued after the date hereof, at which time the Holders
shall be entitled to the same protection for extraordinary dividends as granted
to such future holders of warrants, if any.

      SECTION 38.02 Other Action Affecting Warrant Shares. If the Company takes
any action affecting its shares of Common Stock after the date hereof, that
would be covered by Section 2.1 but for the manner in which such action is taken
or structured, which would in any way diminish the value of this Warrant, then
the Warrant Share Price shall be adjusted in such manner as the Board shall in
good faith determine to be equitable under the circumstances.

      SECTION 38.03 Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Warrant Share Price pursuant to this Section
2, the Company at its expense will as promptly as possible, but in any event
within ten (10) business days, compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment, including a statement of the adjusted
Warrant Share Price or adjusted number of shares of Common Stock, if any,
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, describing in reasonable detail the
transaction giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon
which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith mail,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, a copy of each such certificate to the
Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of
the Company, and to its Transfer Agent.

      SECTION 38.04 Other Notices. If at any time:

      the Company shall (i) offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of
shares of the Common Stock any additional equity in the Company or other rights;
or (ii) pay a dividend in additional shares of the Common Stock or distribute
securities or other property or assets to the holders of shares of the Common
Stock (including, without limitation, cash, evidences of indebtedness and equity
and debt securities);

      (a) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification or
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale, transfer or lease of all
or substantially all of its assets to, another entity; or

      (b) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of such
Holder as shown on the books of the Company, (x) at least 10 days' prior written
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for such subscription rights, dividend, distribution or issuance;
provided that such ten (10) day period shall be increased to thirty (30) days in
the case of Section 2.4(a)(ii), and (y) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up, at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place if no stockholder vote is required and at least 10 days' prior
written notice of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote upon such
matter if a stockholder vote is required. Such notice in accordance with the
foregoing clause (x) shall also specify, in the case of any such subscription
rights, the date on which the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exercise their rights with respect thereto, and such notice in
accordance with the foregoing clause (y) shall also specify the date on which
the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares
of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

      SECTION 38.05 Adjustment Calculations. No adjustment in the Warrant Share
Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least one cent ($0.01) in such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this Section 2.5 are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment
required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case
may be.

      2.6 Appraisal. If a majority in interest of the Holders reasonably
disagrees with any of the Board's determinations referred to in this Section 2
(each, a "Determination"), and such majority of Holders shall notify the Company
of its disagreement by furnishing to the Company a written notice setting forth
in reasonable detail the fact of such dispute, the basis for such dispute, and
such Holders' alternative calculation (such notice, a "Determination Dispute
Notice"), and such Determination Dispute Notice is received by the Company
within seven (7) days of the Company having given notice of the Determination to
the Holders, then the Company and a majority in interest of such Holders (the
"Warrant Representative") shall resolve such Determination Dispute in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Section 2.6. The Holders agree that this
Section 2.6 sets forth the exclusive mechanism for the Holders to make any such
dispute and to resolve the same, and shall not be entitled to make any such
dispute in any other manner. The Company and the Warrant Representative shall
use good faith efforts to mutually agree upon the designation of a single
Qualified Appraiser (as defined below) within seven (7) business days of the
receipt by the Company of a valid Determination Dispute Notice received by the
Company in within the time period set forth above in this Section 2.6. If such a
single Qualified Appraiser is designated, that person shall make a
Determination. If the Company and the Warrant Representative do not so agree
upon the designation of a single Qualified Appraiser within such period, then
within five (5) business days following the end of such period, each of the
Company and the Warrant Representative by written notice to the other shall
designate a Qualified Appraiser (or if any party fails to so select a Qualified
Appraiser within the time period specified, the Person selected by the other
party shall be the Qualified Appraiser) and the two Qualified Appraisers so
designated shall within ten (10) business days of their designation jointly
designate a third Qualified Appraiser, and such third Qualified Appraiser so
designated, solely, shall independently make a Determination. The parties may
submit the basis for their respective views to the Appraiser in writing. In such
event, each party shall furnish its submission to the other party at the same
time as the submission is furnished to the Qualified Appraiser, and the other
party shall have two (2) business days within which to furnish a single rebuttal
to such original submission. The Qualified Appraiser may consider such
submissions in reaching the Determination. If there is only a single Qualified
Appraiser, the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser shall be paid
equally by the Company and the Warrant Representative. If three Qualified
Appraisers are appointed, the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the
Qualified Appraiser which it appoints, the Warrant Representative shall pay the
fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser which it appoints, and the fees and
expenses of the third Qualified Appraiser shall be shared equally by the Company
and the Warrant Representative. The designated Qualified Appraiser shall make
the Determination not later than ten (10) business days following the
appointment of the Qualified Appraiser making the Determination. The
Determination made by the applicable Qualified Appraiser shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. None of the Qualified Appraisers
shall be affiliated with any of the Company, the Warrant Representative or
another Qualified Appraiser. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Qualified
Appraiser" shall mean an individual who is engaged on a regular basis (although
not necessarily full time) in valuing securities or arrangements similar to this
Agreement, as the case may be, and may include (but shall not be limited to)
professional business appraisers, investment bankers or accountants.
