Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

Investment Purpose. Each Buyer is acquiring the Convertible Debentures and, upon
conversion of Convertible Debentures, the Buyer will acquire the Conversion
Shares then issuable, for its own account for investment only and not with a
view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution
thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer
reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares

                                       4

statement covering such Conversion Shares or an available exemption under the
1933 Act.

Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an "Accredited Investor" as that term
is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Convertible Debentures
are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Buyer's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer
to acquire such securities.

Information. Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have
been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an
informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Convertible
Debentures and the Conversion Shares, which have been requested by such Buyer.
Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Section 3
below. Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Convertible Debentures
and the Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a
position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to
obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
this investment. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as
it has considered necessary to make an informed investment

                                       5
<PAGE>

decision with respect to its acquisition of the Convertible Debentures and the
Conversion Shares. No

Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or
state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Convertible Debentures or the
Conversion Shares, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the
Convertible Debentures or the Conversion Shares, nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Convertible Debentures
or the Conversion Shares.

Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that except as provided in the
Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Convertible Debentures have not been and
are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and
may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to
the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect
that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned
or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements;
(ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act
(or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144") may be made only in accordance with
the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of
such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through
whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is
defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under
the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC there under; and (iii)
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register
such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply
with the terms and conditions of any exemption there under. The Company reserves
the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and
certificates for the Conversion Shares.

Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments
representing the Convertible Debentures and or the Conversion Shares shall bear
a restrictive legend in

                                       6

outstanding, the Company shall not directly or indirectly consummate any merger,
reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets or any similar transaction or related transactions (each
such transaction, a "Sale of the Company") unless, prior to the consummation of

director who is also an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
shall not be a disinterested director with respect to any such agreement,
transaction, commitment, or arrangement. "Affiliate" for purposes hereof means,
with respect to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or

Instructions (as defined herein) to Transfer Agent.

                          TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of
the Buyer(s) or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares
representing such amounts of Convertible Debentures as specified from time to
time by the Buyer(s) to the Company upon conversion of the Convertible
Debentures (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent

                                       21
<PAGE>

Instructions"). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933
Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other
than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5,
and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the
case of the Conversion Shares prior to registration of such shares under the
1933 Act) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in any way
the Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities
laws upon resale of Conversion Shares. If the Buyer(s) provides the Company with
an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, and substance to the
Company, that registration of a resale by the Buyer(s) of any of the Conversion
Shares is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer
and, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in
such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s) shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
