and/or exercise of the Securities are being or will be acquired for its own
account and with no intention of distributing or reselling such securities or
any part thereof in any transaction that would be in violation of the Securities
Act or the securities laws of any state, without prejudice, however, to the
rights of Purchaser at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of such shares of Common Stock under an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under
the Securities Act. If Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of such
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion and/or exercise of the Securities,
Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so only in compliance with the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, as then in effect.
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as required by law, of a legend on

     REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
     THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE
     DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
     UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO
     AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH
     ACT AND SUCH LAWS."

     The requirement to include the legend set forth above shall cease and
terminate as to the Note, the Warrant and any particular shares of such Common
Stock (a) when, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such legend is no
longer required in order to assure compliance by the Company with the Securities
Act or (b) when such shares have been effectively registered under the
Securities Act or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.  Whenever (x) such
requirement shall cease and terminate as to any such shares or (y) such shares
shall be transferable under paragraph (k) of Rule 144, the holder thereof shall
be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, new certificates not
bearing the legend set forth above.

Company within the Offer Period (or other mutually agreed upon time period, as
set forth above) or (ii) the Company elects not to accept the Offer within the

Offer or Acquisition Proposal in respect of which Notice has been delivered in
accordance herewith and the Company shall be free thereafter to enter into a
definitive agreement with any Person; provided, that, if the Company rejects

its good faith reasonable judgment determines (in consultation with its
advisors) would, if consummated, be more favorable to the Company or its
stockholders than any other proposal. In determining whether a proposal is a
Superior Proposal, the Company shall be free to take into account, among other
factors, the purchase price, form of consideration, structure, timing, risk of
non-consummation, impact on the business of the Company, other obligations and
other relevant legal and financial considerations.

          (f)  Termination of Right. Purchaser's Right of First Negotiation
               --------------------
pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i)
the time at which no amounts remain outstanding under the Note; or (ii) the time
at which the Purchaser Group owns less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion and exercise of the Securities;
provided, however, that in no case shall Purchaser's Right of First Negotiation
--------  -------
terminate prior to the third anniversary of the Closing.

     9.2  Board of Directors Observer Rights.
          ----------------------------------

          (a)  Observer Rights. After the Closing, for so long as either (i) any
               ---------------
amount shall remain outstanding under the Note or (ii) the Purchaser Group
continues to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock issued
or issuable upon conversion and exercise of the Securities, two designees of
Purchaser satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable and good faith
discretion (the "Observers") shall be entitled to attend (in person or by
                 ---------
telephone) all meetings of the Board of Directors in a non-voting observer
capacity and, in this respect, the Company shall give such Observers copies of
all notices, minutes, consents and other Board of Directors' materials that it
provides to all of its directors no later than the time it provides such
information to its directors (collectively, the "Observer Rights");
                                                 ---------------

                                                                            -26-
<PAGE>

provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to withhold any
--------  -------
information and to exclude the Observers from any meeting, or any portion
thereof, as is reasonably determined in good faith by a majority of the Board of
Directors to be necessary for any reasonable purposes, including but not limited
to, purposes of confidentiality, competitive factors or if access to such
information or the Observers' attendance at such meeting or portion thereof
could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its
counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Observers to the same extent that it
indemnifies its directors and officers.

          (b)  Confidentiality.  Purchaser agrees, and Purchaser will cause
               ---------------
any observer to agree, to hold in confidence and trust, and to act in a
fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided or otherwise
learned in connection with its Observer Rights, and not use or disclose any
information provided to or learned by it in connection with its Observer Rights,
other than for purposes reasonably related to its investment in the Company. The
provisions of this Section 9.2(b) will survive any disposition of all or any
portion of the Securities and/or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof.

          (c)  Specific Enforcement.  It is agreed and understood that monetary
               --------------------
damages would not adequately compensate the Company for any breach of Section
9.2(b) hereof, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that
any breach or threatened breach of Section 9.2(b) shall be the proper subject of
a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, Purchaser,
for itself and on behalf of each Observer, waives any claim or defense that
there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

                         INDEMNIFICATION; TERMINATION
                         ----------------------------

     10.1  Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and
           ------------------------------
hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, agents, employees, Subsidiaries, partners and controlling Persons
(each, a "Company Indemnified Party") from and against any and all liabilities,
          -------------------------
claims, losses, damages, judgments, and settlements resulting from a third-party
claim (including interest and penalties recovered by a third party with respect
thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses and reasonable fees
and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of any of same or in
asserting, processing or enforcing any of the rights of Purchaser arising under
this Article X) (collectively, "Company Liabilities"), to which any Company
                                -------------------
Indemnified Party may become subject, insofar as such Company Liabilities arise
from or relate to, directly or indirectly, (i) a breach of a representation or
warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, (ii) any failure by the
Company to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement, or
(iii) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby or from any investigation, litigation, or
other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, except to the extent incurred
by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Company Indemnified
Party. The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
Indemnified Parties from any Company Liabilities to which the Company may become
subject, insofar as such Company Liabilities arise from or relate to, directly
or indirectly, a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section
5.25 herein.

                                                                            -27-
<PAGE>

          10.2  Notification and Advancement of Expenses.  A Company Indemnified
                ----------------------------------------
Party will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any
action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Company
Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder notify
the Company in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Company
Indemnified Party so to notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve
the Company from any liability which it may have to such Company Indemnified
Party hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in
the Company's forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or the Company is
otherwise irrevocably prejudiced in defending such proceeding. In case any such
action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any Company
Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof,
the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company Indemnified Party; provided
                                                                       --------
that any Company Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate
counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a)
the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel as provided
herein, (b) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses of
separate counsel for the Company Indemnified Party or (c) in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to such Company Indemnified Party, a conflict or likely
conflict exists between the Company, on the one hand, and such Company
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate
representation advisable, such Company Indemnified Party shall have the right to
control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding and employ separate
counsel at the Company's expense in any action, claim or proceeding in which
both the Company, on the one hand, and a Company Indemnified Party, on the other
hand, is, or is reasonably likely to become, a party; provided, however, that
                                                      --------  -------
the Company shall not in any event be required to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one separate counsel. In the event that the Company Indemnified Party
controls its own defense and employs separate counsel as provided herein, the
Company shall advance such Company Indemnified Party at the beginning of every
sixty (60) day period (the "Advancement Period"), commencing on the date the
                            ------------------
Company Indemnified Party delivers notice to the Company of its intent to
control its own defense, the maximum estimated amount of the costs and expenses
of such defense for such Advancement Period as determined in good faith by the
Company Indemnified Party (the "Advanced Expenses"). If the actual amount of the
                                -----------------
costs and expenses of such defense at the end of such Advancement Period (the
"Actual Expenses") are greater than the Advanced Expenses, the Company shall pay
 ---------------
promptly the amount of the difference to the Company Indemnified Party. If the
Actual Expenses are less than the Advanced Expenses, the Company Indemnified
Party may retain the amount of such difference and apply it to the Advanced
Expenses for the next Advancement Period, if any; provided, however, that the
                                                  --------  -------
Company Indemnified Party shall return to the Company the aggregate amount of
such difference at the conclusion and resolution of any pending or threatened
claim, action or proceeding of which the Company Indemnified Party has assumed
the defense as contemplated hereby, and after the Company has otherwise
satisfied its indemnification obligations hereunder. The Company agrees that it
will not, without the prior written consent of a Company Indemnified Party,
settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or
threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated
hereby (if such Company Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been
actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Company
Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such
claim, action or proceeding. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement
of any claim, action or proceeding effected against a Company Indemnified Party
without the prior written consent of the Company.

                                                                            -28-

     10.3 Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE COMPANY (OR
          -----------------------
ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF) BE LIABLE TO INDEMNIFY PURCHASER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF PURCHASER,
BUT PURCHASER MAY RECOVER INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY FOR WHICH THE COMPANY IS OBLIGATED
TO INDEMNIFY PURCHASER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOSS
OF TIME, LOSS OF SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 10.3
                                      --------  -------
SHALL NOT LIMIT IN ANY MANNER WHATSOVER THE COMPANY'S INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10.1 HEREIN.

     10.4 Termination Events.  Without prejudice to other remedies which may be
          ------------------
available to the parties by law or this Agreement, this Agreement may be
terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time
prior to the Closing:

          (a)  by mutual written consent of the Company and Purchaser;

          (b)  by either the Company or Purchaser by giving written notice to
the other party if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to January 31,
2002, unless extended by written agreement of the parties; provided that the
                                                           --------
party seeking termination pursuant to this subsection (b) is not in material
default or breach hereunder and provided, further, that the right
                                --------  -------
to terminate this Agreement under this subsection (b) 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 Closing to occur on or before
such date;

          (c)  by Purchaser if the conditions to the Closing set forth in
Article III herein are not satisfied prior to January 18, 2002; or

          (d)  by either the Company or Purchaser by giving written notice to
the other party if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an injunction or
other ruling prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and such
injunction or other ruling shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become
final and unappealable.

          If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and as provided by this
Section 10.4, such termination shall be without liability of any party hereto
(or their respective Affiliates) to any other party hereto.

equity or at law arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be
instituted in the state or federal courts located in the county of New York,
State of New York and each party agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense, or otherwise, in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that
such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the
venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or
the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by any such court. Each
party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any
such action, suit or proceeding. Any and all service of process and any other
notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective against any
party if given personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or by any other means of mail that requires a signed receipt, postage
prepaid, mailed to such party as herein provided. Nothing herein contained shall

suit or proceeding with any other action, suit or proceeding in which trial by

at its office from time to time (currently 245 Park Avenue, 24th Floor, New
