     2.   DIVIDEND RIGHTS.

          2.1  CUMULATIVE DIVIDEND PREFERENCE. The holders of the then
outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as
and if declared by the Board, out of any funds and assets of the Corporation
legally available therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual Dividend Rate for
the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, prior and in preference to the payment of any
dividend or other Distribution on the Common Stock (other than a Common Stock
Dividend). Such dividends shall begin accruing on each share of Series A-1
Preferred Stock on the first Dividend Accrual Date occurring after the date on
which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation, and
shall accrue on each subsequent Dividend Accrual Date thereafter until paid,
whether or not earned or declared. No accumulation of dividends on the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock shall compound or bear any interest. Unless the full amount
of any accrued and unpaid dividends accrued on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock
shall have been paid or declared in full and a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof reserved and set apart, no dividend (other than a Common Stock Dividend)
shall be paid or declared, and no Distribution shall be made, on any Common
Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this restriction shall not apply to Permitted
Repurchases. Payments of any accrued dividends to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be made pro rata, on an
equal priority, pari passu basis.

          2.2  PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. In the event that the Corporation shall
declare a dividend or other Distribution on the Common Stock out of funds
legally available therefor (other than a Common Stock Dividend), then the
holders of the then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
a proportionate share of any such dividend or other Distribution as though each
holder of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock was the holder of the greatest whole
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to Section 5 of all the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder, in each case as of the record date
fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
dividend or other Distribution, assuming for this purpose that the Automatic
Conversion Date is such record date.

          2.3  NON-CASH DIVIDENDS. Whenever a dividend provided for in this
Section 2 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such
dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as
determined in good faith by the Board, provided that dividends payable in
securities (other than Common Stock Dividends, dividends declared and paid on
the Series A Preferred Stock that are payable in shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, and dividends declared and paid on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that
are payable in shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be valued in the
manner set forth in Sections 3.4(a) and (b) hereof.

                                        3

     3.   LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the funds and
assets that may be legally distributed to the Corporation's stockholders (the
"AVAILABLE FUNDS AND ASSETS") shall be distributed to stockholders in the
following manner:

          3.1  LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. The holders of each share of Series A-1
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the
Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or
distribution (or any setting apart of any payment or distribution) of any
Available Funds and Assets on any shares of Common Stock, an amount per share
equal to the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series A-1
Preferred Stock shall rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with
respect to the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If
upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the
Available Funds and Assets shall be insufficient to permit the payment to
holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock of
their full preferential amounts, then all of the Available Funds and Assets
shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Series A-1
Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock pro rata, on an equal priority,
pari passu basis, according to their respective liquidation preferences.

          3.2  PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. If there are any Available Funds and Assets
remaining after the payment or distribution (or the setting aside for payment or
distribution) to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A
Preferred Stock of their full liquidation preference amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.1 above for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and pursuant to Section
3.1 of the Series A Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, in connection
with a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then all such
remaining Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of
the then outstanding Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1
Preferred Stock pro rata according to the number of shares of Common Stock held
by such holders, where, for this purpose: (a) each holder of outstanding Series
A-1 Preferred Stock will be deemed to hold (in lieu of their Series A-1
Preferred Stock), the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion
pursuant to Section 5 of all the Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by such holder,
in each case as of the record date fixed for the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution, and assuming for this
purpose that the Automatic Conversion Date is such record date, and (b) each
holder of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to hold (in lieu
of their Series A Preferred Stock), the greatest whole number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock,
as of the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such distribution; UNTIL SUCH TIME AS: (x) in the case of
the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, each holder of then outstanding Series A-1
Preferred Stock shall have received, in distributions made in connection with
such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, an aggregate amount per share of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock held equal to three (3) times the Original Issue
Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (such aggregate dollar amount to
include all amounts previously paid to such holder pursuant to the liquidation
preference of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock including without limitation any
dividends paid thereon), and (y) in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock,
each holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall have received, in
distributions made in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, an aggregate amount per share of Series A

                                        4
<Page>

Preferred Stock held equal to three (3) times the Original Issue Price for the
Series A Preferred Stock (such aggregate dollar amount to include all amounts
previously paid to such holder pursuant to the liquidation preference of the
Series A Preferred Stock including without limitation any dividends paid
thereon); AFTER WHICH TIME the holders of then outstanding Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive all the remaining Available Funds and Assets (if any) pro
rata according to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock then held by
each of them.

          3.3  MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS. Each of the following transactions
shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation as those terms are used in this Section 3 (and in the case of a
transaction described in Section 3.3(a) below, the Available Funds and Assets
shall be the consideration paid by the acquiror in such transaction): (a) a
Combination Transaction in which the Corporation is a constituent corporation
if, as a result of such Combination Transaction, the voting securities of the
Corporation that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such
Combination Transaction (OTHER THAN any such securities that are held by an
Acquiring Stockholder) do not represent, or are not converted into, securities
of the surviving corporation of such Combination Transaction (or such surviving
corporation's parent corporation if the surviving corporation is owned by the
parent corporation) that, immediately after the consummation of such Combination
Transaction, together possess at least a majority of the total voting power of
all securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if
applicable) that are outstanding immediately after the consummation of such
Combination Transaction, including securities of such surviving corporation (or
its parent corporation, if applicable) that are held by the Acquiring
Stockholder; or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation (each of the foregoing transactions, a "SALE TRANSACTION").

          The Corporation shall not enter into any Sale Transaction that does
not provide for the treatment of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in a
manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3. In the event that the
requirements of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with in
connection with a Sale Transaction, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (x)
cause the closing of Sale Transaction to be postponed until such time as such
requirements have been complied with, or (y) cancel such Sale Transaction, in
which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferrences
and privileges existing immediately prior to the latest date on which the notice
referred to in Section 3.5 below with respect to such Sale Transaction could be
given in compliance with the provisions of such Section 3.5.

          3.4  NON-CASH CONSIDERATION. If any assets of the Corporation
distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets
shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board,
EXCEPT THAT any securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as follows:

               (a)  The method of valuation of securities not subject to
investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be
as follows:

                    (i)   unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement
for the acquisition of the Corporation, if the securities are then traded on a
national securities exchange,

                                        5
<Page>

the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or a similar national
quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the twenty (20)
trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the distribution; and

                    (ii)  if (i) above does not apply but the securities are
actively traded over-the-counter, then, unless otherwise specified in a
definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the twenty (20) trading
day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the distribution; and

                    (iii) if there is no active public market as described in
clauses (i) or (ii) above, then the value shall be the fair market value
thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board.

               (b)  The method of valuation of securities subject to investment
letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions
arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former
affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value
determined as above in subparagraphs (a)(i),(ii) or (iii) of this subsection to
reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith
by the Board.

               (c)  Any determination in good faith by the Board pursuant to
this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive and final and shall be binding on the
Corporation and all stockholders thereof.

          3.5  NOTICE. Written notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3, stating the nature
of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and specifying the anticipated
effective date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall be given in
the manner specified in Section 5.10 hereof at least twenty (20) days prior to,
and no more than sixty (60) days prior to, the effective date of such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

     4.   VOTING RIGHTS.

          4.1  NO VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided by law and as
provided in Section 4.2 below, holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have
no voting rights.

          4.2  PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. The Corporation shall not, without the
approval, by vote or written consent, of the holders of a majority of the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate class: (a) amend its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any manner that would alter or change
the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock so as to adversely affect any of the rights, preferences, privileges or
restrictions of such series of Preferred Stock, or (b) increase or decrease
(other than pursuant to Section 7.1 below) the total number of authorized shares
of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

     5.   CONVERSION. The outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall
be convertible into Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

                                        6
<Page>

          5.1  AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.

               (a)  At the close of business on the date: (i) of any meeting of
the holders of the Common Stock at which a quorum shall be present and at which
a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting shall have voted (in person or
by proxy) in favor of a proposal to approve the issuance of the Conversion
Shares upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or (ii) that such
other action shall have been taken by the stockholders of the Corporation as
shall have satisfied the stockholder approval requirements of Nasdaq with
respect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock, in either case prior to the Corporation's receipt of a
Redemption Request (as defined in Section 6.1 below) delivered in accordance
with Section 6.1, each then outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock
shall be automatically converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Series A Preferred Stock effective as of the date such stockholder approval is
obtained (the "AUTOMATIC CONVERSION DATE"), as provided herein (such conversion,
the "AUTOMATIC CONVERSION").

               (b)  Upon an Automatic Conversion in accordance with Section
5.1(a), and effective as of the close of business on the Automatic Conversion
Date, the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be converted
into Series A Preferred Stock automatically without the need for any further
action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates
representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer
agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon
such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A-1
Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as
provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent
that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an
agreement satisfactory to the Corporation and/or its transfer agent to indemnify
the Corporation and/or its transfer agent from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such Automatic
Conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock: (i) the Corporation shall deliver
written notice of such Automatic Conversion in the manner specified in Section
5.10 hereof promptly after the Automatic Conversion Date to each holder of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was converted into Series A Preferred Stock in
the Automatic Conversion, and (ii) the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock
shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of any
transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock.
Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such
office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates,
a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into which the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered were
convertible on the Automatic Conversion Date.

          5.2  CONVERSION PRICE. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall
be convertible in accordance with Section 5.1 above into the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price
for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the conversion price for the Series A-1
Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "CONVERSION
PRICE"). The initial Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall
be the Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Conversion
Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided below.

                                        7
<Page>

Following each adjustment of the Conversion Price, such adjusted Conversion
Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price
hereunder.

          5.3  ADJUSTMENT UPON SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK EVENT. Upon the
happening of a Series A Preferred Stock Event, the Conversion Price of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such
Series A Preferred Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price
of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such Series A
Preferred Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to such Series A Preferred Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding
immediately after such Series A Preferred Stock Event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock. The Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be
readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Series A
Preferred Stock Event.

          5.4  ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If at any time
or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock payable in securities of the
Corporation, other than an event constituting a Series A Preferred Stock Event,
then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock receivable upon conversion
thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have
received had their Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Series A
Preferred Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable)
and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such
record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, retained such
securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all
other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock or with
respect to such other securities by their terms.

          5.5  ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION. If at
any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Series A-1
Preferred Stock the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization,
reclassification or otherwise (OTHER THAN by a Series A Preferred Stock Event or
a stock dividend, reorganization, merger, or consolidation provided for
elsewhere in this Section 5), then in any such event each holder of Series A-1
Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the
kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock into which such shares of Series A-1
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such
recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment
as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the
terms thereof.

          5.6  REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. If at any time or
from time to time after the Original Issue Date for the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock there is a reorganization

                                        8
<Page>

of the Corporation (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination,
reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5)
or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation
(except an event which is governed under Section 3.3), then, as a part of such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, provision shall be made so that the
holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock thereafter shall be entitled to
receive, upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of such
successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, to which a holder of Series A Preferred Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such reorganization, merger or
consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of
the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger
or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including
adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares issuable
upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after
that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be
practicable. This Section 5.6 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, mergers and consolidations.

          5.7  CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. In each case of an adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the
Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer to
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof
and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall
cause such certificate to be delivered to each registered holder of the Series
A-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 5.10.

          5.8  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In lieu
of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the
Corporation shall pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the fair value of one share of Series A Preferred Stock, which
shall be equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock and other
securities or property issuable upon conversion of such share of Series A
Preferred Stock on the Automatic Conversion Date as determined in good faith by
the Board (with reference to the closing price of the Corporation's Common Stock
(as reported by a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market or a similar national quotation system on which the
Common Stock is then traded).

          5.9  RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series A-1 Preferred Stock: (a) such number of its shares of Series A Preferred
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all

          6.2  EXCESS REDEMPTION. If upon the Redemption Date or any Excess
Redemption Date (as defined below) the funds and assets of the Corporation

redeem shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date to the extent
of the funds and assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, pro rata
among all holders of then outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock according to
the number of shares held by each holder thereof on the Redemption Date, and any
shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock not so redeemed on the Redemption Date (the

dividend, liquidation, and other rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock until such shares have been
redeemed hereunder. The Corporation shall promptly return the certificate(s)

dividends accrued and unpaid on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as of such
Redemption Date or Excess Redemption Date), and the place at which payment may
be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the
manner and at the place designated, the certificate or certificates representing
the shares to be redeemed (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE").

          6.4  SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES. On or before the Redemption Date and
any Excess Redemption Date, if any, each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to
be redeemed shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed to the Corporation, in the manner and
at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption
Price for each shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name
appears on such certificate(s) as the owner thereof, and each surrendered
certificate shall be cancelled and retired.

          6.5  EFFECT OF REDEMPTION. If the Redemption Notice shall have been
duly given, and if on the Redemption Date or the Excess Redemption Date the
applicable Redemption Price is paid, then notwithstanding that the certificates
evidencing any of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so called for
redemption shall not have been surrendered, all dividends with respect to such
shares shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date or Excess Redemption
Date, as the case may be, such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the
Corporation's books and the rights of all of the holders of such shares with
respect to such shares shall

                                       11

such Company SEC Reports, (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or did not omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All material

which the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are
subject are included as part of or specifically identified in the Company SEC

Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than obligations and
commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not required
under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Unaudited
5/31/02 Financial Statements, in each case which, individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of
the Company. The Company is not aware of any material liability of any nature,
direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, or any amount not adequately
reflected or reserved against in the Unaudited 5/31/02 Financial Statements and
notes thereto.

               (c) The Company satisfies the requirements for use of Form S-3
for registration of the resale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Investors' Rights Agreement). The Company is not required to file and, if it
were to file a registration statement on Form S-3 on the date hereof, would not
be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other
instrument entered into prior to the date hereof and to which the Company is a
party or by which the Company is bound which has not been previously filed as an

except for the issuance of the Series A Closing Shares, the Additional Series A
Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares and the Warrants contemplated by this
Agreement, no event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or
exists, or is currently contemplated to occur, with respect to the Company or
its business, properties, operations, prospects or financial condition, that
would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities
laws or the rules and policies of Nasdaq and the Company's listing agreement
with Nasdaq, and which has not been publicly disclosed.

          2.6 TITLE TO PROPERTIES; LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or in the case of leased
properties and assets, valid and enforceable leaseholds or licensed interests
in, all of their respective material properties and assets. Such properties and
assets are not subject to any material mortgage, pledge, lien, security
interest, conditional sales agreement, encumbrance or charge, except liens for
current taxes not yet due and payable and mechanics liens incurred in the
ordinary course of business. The material properties and assets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries are in good condition and repair in all material respects.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.6 of the Disclosure Letter, such material
properties and assets constitute all of the material properties and assets,
tangible and

                                        8
<Page>

intangible, of any nature whatsoever, necessary to operate the Company's
business as it is currently being operated.

          2.7 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Company and its Subsidiaries (a)
own or have sufficient right to use, free and clear of all liens, claims and
restrictions, all material patents, trade secrets, inventions, know-how,
designs, processes, technical data, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights and other intangible or intellectual property rights ("INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS") (and licenses with respect to the foregoing) needed for or
used in the conduct of its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted (as set forth in the SEC Reports) without infringing upon or otherwise
acting adversely to the right or claimed right of any person or entity under or
with respect to any of the foregoing, and (b) are not obligated or under any
liability whatsoever to make any material payments by way of royalties, fees or
otherwise to any owner of, licensor of, or other claimant to, any Intellectual
Property Right, with respect to the use thereof or in connection with the
conduct of their businesses. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are
infringing upon or otherwise acting adversely to the right or, to the Company's
knowledge, claimed right of any person under or with respect to any Intellectual
Property Right. The Company has not received any written or, to the actual
knowledge of any directors or executive officers of the Company, other
communications alleging that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have
violated any Intellectual Property or other proprietary right of any other
person or entity, which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of any
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any third party that is
infringing or improperly using any Intellectual Property Right held by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and except as disclosed in the Company SEC
Reports neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have instituted any
action, suit or proceeding in which an act constituting an infringement of any
such Intellectual Property Right was alleged to have been committed by a third
party. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries regarding any of the foregoing Intellectual Property Rights
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or brought or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding
any of the foregoing Intellectual Property Rights of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or the use of any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if the subject of an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.

          2.8 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AGREEMENTS. All current and former
employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries that have or are
reasonably expected to contribute to the development of the products or
technology of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries are parties to a written
confidentiality and invention and proprietary rights assignment agreement
substantially in the form previously delivered to counsel for the Purchasers,
except where the Company's failure to obtain such agreements, in any single case
or in the aggregate, should not be reasonably expected to adversely affect the
assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the
Company. To the Company's knowledge, none of the current or former employees of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is alleged to be, in material
violation of any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, invention or
proprietary information disclosure agreement, or other contract or agreement to
which any of them is a party which violation or alleged violation relates to
their

                                        9
<Page>

relationship to the Company, its Subsidiaries, their businesses or operations,
or is in material violation of the Confidentiality and Inventions Agreement with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to which such employee is a party. None
of the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, to the Company's knowledge,
has taken, removed or made use of any material proprietary documentation,
manuals, products, materials, or any other tangible item from his or her
previous employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries has not and will not
make use of any such material proprietary items in the business of the Company.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken all commercially reasonable steps to
safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of, and its proprietary
rights in, any of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

          2.9 PRIVACY. The Company and its Subsidiaries have obtained any and
all necessary consents from customers with regard to their collection and
dissemination of personal customer information in accordance in all material
respects with any applicable privacy policy published or otherwise communicated
by Company and any applicable laws, rules or regulations. The practices of the
Company and its Subsidiaries regarding the collection and use of personal
customer information are and have been in all material respects in accordance
with such privacy policies and with all applicable laws, rules or regulations.
The use of the current products and services of the Company and its Subsidiaries
by customers for the intended purposes of such products and services, as
described in the Company SEC Reports and in the product documentation of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, does not violate any laws, rules or regulations
regarding the collection, use or disclosure of personal information in any
material respect.

          2.10 GOVERNMENTAL PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all
governmental permits, operating authority, licenses, franchises, certificates,
consents, rights and privileges as are necessary to the operation of their
businesses as currently conducted, the absence of which would reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, "PERMITS"). Such
Permits are in full force and effect, no material violations have been or are
expected to have been recorded in respect of any such Permits, and no material
proceeding is pending or threatened that could result in the revocation or
limitation of any of such Permits. The Company has not received any written
notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such
Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in
material compliance with all Permits.

          2.11 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS; NO CONFLICTS. The Company and
its Subsidiaries are not in violation, breach or default of any term of their
respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws, or, in any material respect,
of any term or provision of any material mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party, or of any provision of any foreign or domestic state or federal judgment,
decree, order statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than such violation, breach or default
which has not caused and would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing
Agreements and the Escrow Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the performance by
the Company of its obligations under the Certificates of Designation, and the

lapse of time, or both): (a) conflict with or violate, 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, any material agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument
(including, without limitation, any stock option, employee stock purchase or
similar plan or any employment or similar agreement) to which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is a party (including, without limitation, triggering the
application of any change of control or similar provision (whether "single
trigger" or "double trigger")); (b) violate any provision of the certificates of
incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (c) result in
the creation of any material mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon
any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or

of its Subsidiaries; or (d) result in a violation by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations
of NASDAQ). The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being
conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity, which violation would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company. The Company is not in violation of the listing
requirements of NASDAQ or its listing agreement with Nasdaq.

          2.12 LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the Company's knowledge, overtly threatened in
writing or, to the actual knowledge of any directors or executive officers of
the Company, by other means against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
its or their properties before any court, governmental agency, public board or
self-regulatory organization (other than ordinary course litigation that, if
determined adversely to the Company, would not be reasonably be expected to
cause a Material Adverse Effect).

          2.13 EMPLOYEES. The Company SEC Reports accurately describe, as of the
date of this Agreement, the employee benefit plans and arrangements of the
Company and its Subsidiaries therein described. Except as disclosed in the
Company SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is bound by
or subject to (and none of its or their assets is bound by or subject to) any
arrangement with any labor union and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has any collective bargaining agreements covering any of its
employees. There is no pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge,
threatened union organizing effort or labor dispute involving the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries and any group of its or their employees. Subject to
applicable law and to the terms of employment agreements described in Schedule
2.13, copies of which have been provided to the Purchasers, the employment of
each officer and employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
terminable at the will of the Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance in all material respects with all federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, wages and hours, equal employment opportunity and with
other laws related to employment. No executive officer (as defined in Rule

to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the
Company.

                                       11

          2.14 INSURANCE. The Company has obtained and maintains in full force
and effect fire, casualty, directors' and officers' liability and other and
liability insurance policies with recognized insurers with such coverages as are
customary for companies in businesses similarly situated. The Company has not
been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and has no reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and
when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers
as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that is not materially in
excess of current levels.

          2.15 MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

               (a) Except for the contracts and agreements filed as exhibits to
the Company SEC Reports, Schedule 2.15(a) of the Disclosure Letter contains a
complete list of all contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
are a party, or to which any of their respective assets or properties are
subject, in each case which are, or would reasonably be expected to become,
significant or material to the business, assets, liabilities, condition
(financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

               (b) There are no existing, pending or, to the actual knowledge of
any directors or executive officers of the Company, threatened claims for
indemnification with respect to infringement or misappropriation (or alleged or
potential infringement or misappropriation) of intellectual property rights
under any material agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed
transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is bound, except for claims arising after December 31, 2001 that have been
settled, satisfied or otherwise resolved in full prior to the date hereof.

               (c) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the
Company's knowledge, is any other party in default under or material violation
of any contract listed on Schedule 2.15(a) of the Disclosure Letter or
referenced in Section 2.15(a) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
a party.

          2.16 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
accurately prepared and timely filed all tax returns (foreign, federal, state
and local) required to be filed by them or obtained extensions therefor. All
taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns, any assessments received, and
all other taxes due and payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on or
before the date hereof have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they
become delinquent. The federal income and state income franchise tax, sales or
use tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries have not been audited by any
governmental authority since January 1, 2001. No material deficiency assessment
or proposed adjustment of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' foreign or
federal income tax or state or local taxes is pending and the Company has no
knowledge of any proposed material liability for any tax to be imposed upon its
properties or assets for which the Company has not adequately reserved. The
provision for taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries as shown in the
Financial Statements is materially adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the
date thereof. The Company has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "CODE"), to be treated as a collapsible corporation
pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code and has not made any

                                       12
<Page>

other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections which relate solely
to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) which would reasonably
be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

          2.17 NO OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING TO VOTING OR TRANSFER. Except as
contemplated by the Financing Agreements and the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, there is no agreement between the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or any of officers or directors of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, that directly affects or relates to the voting of or giving of
consents or approvals with respect to any voting security.

          2.18 CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Except as disclosed in the Company SEC

any holder of more than five percent (5%) of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, (ii) no holder of more than five percent (5%) of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries, or officer or

any other liabilities, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of greater
than $60,000, or has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a business
relationship, or any firm or corporation that currently directly competes with
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except with respect to any interest in
less than one percent of the stock of any corporation whose stock is publicly
traded), (iii) none of the officers or directors of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, or member of his or her immediate family, is directly or
indirectly interested in or party to any contract or commercial or financial
relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with a value exceeding
$100,000, and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries are not guarantors or
indemnitors of any material indebtedness of any other person, firm or

          2.25 INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and its Subsidiaries

as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
general accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability
accountability and (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liability is
permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
authorization.

          2.26 APPLICATION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTIONS. The Company and its Board
have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any
control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision
under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the state of its
incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers'
ownership of the Securities, or as a result of the acquisition by the Purchasers
of additional shares of Common Stock (whether then-outstanding or newly issued).

     SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of the Agreement
and as of the Closing and the Additional Closing, but only with respect to such
Purchaser, as follows:

          3.1 AUTHORIZATION. All action on the part of such Purchaser necessary
for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of the
Financing Agreements has been taken, and the Financing Agreements, when executed
and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and binding obligations of
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor's
rights.

          3.2 INVESTMENT. Purchaser (i) is acquiring the Series A Closing
Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, the Additional Closing Shares (if any)
and the Warrants, (ii) upon conversion of the Series A Closing Shares and the
Additional Closing Shares (if any), will acquire the Conversion Stock then
issuable upon conversion thereof. (iii) upon conversion of the Series A-1
Purchased Shares, will acquire the Series A-1 Conversion Stock then issuable
upon conversion thereof and (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (each of the foregoing securities
to be acquired by the Purchaser hereunder, or upon conversion or exercise of
securities acquired hereunder, are collectively referred as the "SECURITIES"),
for its own account 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 Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the
Securities to be purchased by Purchaser have not been and will not be (except as
contemplated by the Investors' Rights Agreement) registered under the Securities
Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent as expressed herein.

                                       16
<Page>

          3.3 EXPERIENCE; ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that Purchaser is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities and
protecting its own interests in connection with such investment. Purchaser is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.

          3.4 RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities are
restricted securities within the meaning of applicable securities laws, have not
been registered under the Securities Act, and must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other
securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act that permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private
placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Securities will
bear a legend reflecting these conditions on transferability thereof.

          3.5 INFORMATION. Purchaser believes Purchaser has had an opportunity
to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with the
Company's management and an opportunity to review the Company's facilities.
Purchaser represents and acknowledges that it believes it has had an opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers from the Company's officers, employees and
directors regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities.
Purchaser has sought such advice as Purchaser has considered necessary to make
an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Securities. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify any Purchaser's
rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, the representations
and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers
to rely thereon.

          3.6 FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITIONS. Without in any way limiting
the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees that, if at the
time of any transfer of any Securities, such Securities shall not be registered
under the Securities Act, prior to any disposition of all or any portion of the
Securities, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer,
that the holder or transferee furnish to the Company (i) such information as is
appropriate to establish that such transfer may be made without registration
under the Securities Act; and (ii) at the expense of the holder or transferee,
an opinion by legal counsel designated by such holder or transferee and
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that
such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. No such
opinion of the Counsel shall be necessary for any transfer to any person or
entity that is deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Purchaser for purposes of the
Securities Act, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms
hereof to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Purchaser
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Securities may be
pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by
the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a
transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser
effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with
any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to
this Agreement or any other agreement arising hereunder; provided that in order
to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Purchaser and its
pledgee must make

                                       17
<Page>

such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or
an exemption under the Securities Act.

          3.7 RESIDENCE. Purchaser is a resident of that jurisdiction specified
in its address listed on EXHIBIT A.

          3.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. Purchaser shall not disclose or provide to any
other person or entity any non-public information or materials, or copies
thereof, whatsoever about the Company, disclosed or made available to the
Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or in
Purchaser's capacity as stockholder of the Company; provided, however, that
Purchaser may disclose such information to the Purchasers' legal and financial
advisors in connection with advice to be rendered by them to the Purchasers, or
to Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates, or to any
transferee or potential transferee of the Securities if such transfer is made in
compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to such
disclosure, Purchasers shall: (i) advise such legal and financial advisors or
Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates, or transferees or
potential transferee, as the case may be, that each of them shall not further
disclose such information or materials to any other person or entity or utilize
such information or materials for the benefit of any person or entity other than
the Company or the Purchasers, or such transferee, in the capacity of a
stockholder of the Company, or in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby; and (ii) ensure that each such person or entity executes an
nondisclosure agreement in favor of the Company, the form of which is customary
for general commercial transactions. The nondisclosure obligations set forth
above shall not apply to any information which the Company determines in writing
shall not be the subject of such nondisclosure obligations, nor shall such
obligations apply to any information which, by applicable law, the Company may
not prohibit the Purchasers from disclosing. The Purchasers may disclose any
information to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over it, provided
that the Company when reasonably possible shall be given reasonable advance
written notice of Purchaser's intent to disclose any information covered under
this Section 3.8 unless Purchaser is precluded from doing so by applicable law.

          3.9 GENERAL SOLICITATION. Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities
as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media
or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.

is a registered broker-dealer under the rules and regulations of the SEC and

contemplated thereby, except as required by law.

          6.10 TRANSACTIONS WITH CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS. So long as any Series A

shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend, modify or
supplement any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement with any of its
stockholders who beneficially own 10% or more of the Common Stock (excluding any
shares of Common Stock purchased on the open market) (each a "RELATED PARTY"),
except for (a) any agreement, transaction, commitment or arrangement on an
arms-length basis on terms no less favorable than terms which would have been
obtainable from a person other than such Related Party, (b) any agreement,
transaction, commitment or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors of the Company, or (c) except as set forth on Schedule
6.10. For purposes of this Section 6.10, (i) any director who is also an officer
of the Company or any Subsidiary shall not be a disinterested director with

Exchange Act.

          6.11 EXCLUSIVITY. Without the prior approval of the Purchasers, until
the earlier to occur of: (i) the first date on which the Purchasers are entitled
to deliver a valid "Redemption Request" (as defined in Section 6.1 of the Series

Agreement pursuant to its terms, neither the Company nor any of the Company's
directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives will solicit,
facilitate, encourage, entertain, discuss, negotiate or accept or enter into any
offer, inquiry or proposal from

                                       25

or any agreement with any party other than the Purchasers concerning any
issuance of shares or instruments that are convertible into, or exercisable to
purchase, shares such that the shares issued or issuable in the aggregate
represents more than five percent (5%) of the Company's fully-diluted
capitalization (other than or in connection with (x) any Sale Transaction (as
defined in the Series A Designation) or (y) an acquisition of another
corporation or business entity by the Company that would not require approval by
the Company's stockholders and is not primarily for financing purposes) (any
such transaction, a "COMPETING TRANSACTION"), or provide any confidential
information of the Company to any party other than Purchasers concerning any
such Competing Transaction. The Company shall notify the Purchasers promptly of
any proposals by third parties with respect to a Competing Transaction. The
Company shall deal exclusively with the Purchasers notwithstanding any such
third party proposals.

          6.12 COMPANY STOCKHOLDER MEETING. The Company will take all action
necessary in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and its
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to convene a special meeting of the
stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment thereof, the "COMPANY
STOCKHOLDER MEETING") for the purpose of adopting and approving: (i) the
issuance of the Nasdaq Cap Shares, (ii) a combination of up to thirty (30)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into one share of Common Stock at the
discretion of the Board, and (iii) certain matters identified in the Executive
Agreement (the "BOARD PROPOSALS"). The Company shall use its best efforts to
schedule and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as soon as practicable after:
(a) if the Proxy Statement (as defined below) is not reviewed by the SEC, the
expiration of the 10 calendar day period set forth in Rule 14a-6 under the
Exchange Act or, (b) if the Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, the date on
which the SEC has cleared the Proxy Statement for distribution, but in any event
on or before October 15, 2002 (the "STOCKHOLDER MEETING DEADLINE"). The Company
shall take all action reasonably available to it to ensure that the Company
Stockholder Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that
all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Company Stockholder
Meeting are solicited, in compliance with the Delaware General Corporation Law,
its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the rules of Nasdaq and all other
applicable legal requirements. The Company may adjourn the Company Stockholder
Meeting if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is
originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are
insufficient shares of Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy)
to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company
Stockholder Meeting.

          6.13 PROXY STATEMENT. The Company shall provide each stockholder
entitled to vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting with a proxy statement filed
with the SEC (the "PROXY STATEMENT"), which has been previously reviewed by
Purchasers and counsel of their choice (and with respect to which the Company
has provided Purchasers and their counsel with an opportunity to comment),
soliciting each such stockholder's affirmative vote at the Company Stockholder
Meeting for adoption and approval of the Board Proposals (such affirmative
approval being referred to herein as the "STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL"), and the
Company shall solicit and use its best efforts to obtain its stockholders'
adoption and approval of the Board Proposals at the Company Stockholder Meeting
and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. The Company shall promptly
notify the Purchasers of any comments by the SEC on the Proxy Statement and
shall provide the Purchasers with a copy of such comments.

               (a) RECOMMENDATION. Subject to Section 6.14(b) below: (i) the
Board shall unanimously recommend that the Company's stockholders vote in favor
of and adopt and approve the Board Proposals at the Company Stockholder Meeting;
(ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Board
has unanimously recommended that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of and
adopt and approve the Board Proposals at the Company Stockholder Meeting; and

modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse
to the Purchasers, the unanimous recommendation of the Board that the Company's
stockholders vote in favor of and adopt and approve the Board Proposals.

               (b) ACQUISITION PROPOSAL. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
the Board from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its unanimous
recommendation in favor of the Board Proposals if (i) an Acquisition Proposal
(as defined below) is made to the Company and is not withdrawn, (ii) the Company
shall have provided written notice to the Purchasers (a "NOTICE OF ACQUISITION
PROPOSAL") advising Purchasers that the Company has received a Acquisition
Proposal, specifying all of the material terms and conditions of such
Acquisition Proposal and identifying the person or entity making such
Acquisition Proposal, (iii) the Board concludes in good faith, after
consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Acquisition
Proposal, the withholding, withdrawal, amendment or modification of such
recommendation is required or necessary in order for the Board to comply with
its fiduciary obligations to the Company's stockholders under applicable law and
(iv) the Company shall not have violated any of the restrictions set forth in
Section 6.11 or this Section 6.14. For purposes of this Agreement "ACQUISITION
PROPOSAL" shall mean a bona fide written offer made by a third party to
consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a possible merger or
consolidation of Company with or into any other entity or (ii) a disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of Company.

          6.15 EQUITY LINE. For a period of one year from the Closing, the
Company shall not issue any securities pursuant the Common Stock Purchase
Agreement dated March 2001 by and between the Company, and Maya Cove Holdings
Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, or any other agreement related
thereto, without approval of the Board (including at least one of the Series A
Directors).

          6.16 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Each Purchaser agrees that, prior to
December 31, 2002, such Purchaser shall not engage in any short sales, contracts
or options to sell, or other hedging activities with respect to the Conversion
Stock.

          6.17 REDEMPTION FUNDS. While any shares of Series A-1 Stock remain
outstanding, the Company shall maintain sufficient legally available funds to
permit redemption in full of all then outstanding Series A-1 Stock pursuant to
the terms of the Series A-1 Designation under the Delaware General Corporation
Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

                                       27

          6.18 EXECUTIVE BONUSES. The Company shall not compensate, in any
manner, any of the executive officers whose names appear on the signature page
to the Executive Amendments other than as expressly provided in such executive
officers' respective employment agreements, each as amended by the Executive
Amendments ("EXPECTED COMPENSATION"), for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2002. The Company shall not otherwise avoid or seek to avoid carrying out the
intent of this Section 6.18 and the Executive Amendments, which is to reduce and
limit the amount of compensation to be paid to the executive officers referred
to above for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 (whether or not such
compensation is actually paid in 2002), but shall act at all times in good faith
to ensure that no compensation other than Expected Compensation is paid or
accrued with respect to such executive officers for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.18, this Section 6.18 shall not apply to compensation arrangements approved by
the Board (including at least one of the Series A Directors).

     SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

          7.1 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by
mutual written consent of the Company and Purchasers who have agreed to
purchase, or who have purchased, a majority of the Series A Closing Shares and
Series A-1 Purchased Shares.

          7.2 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may be amended except by a written instrument signed by the Company and
Purchasers holding a majority of the shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder,
assuming the prior conversion or exercise, as the case may be, of all the
then-outstanding Warrants and shares of Series A Stock into shares of Common
Stock (assuming prior conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series A-1
Stock into Series A Stock). This Agreement may not be waived except by an
instrument in writing executed by the party entitled to the benefits thereby
waived. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, in any
one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed to be, a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition, or as a waiver of
any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.

          7.3 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by
the laws of the State of New York as such laws are applied to agreements between
New York residents entered into and to be performed entirely within New York.
Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts sitting in the Southern District of New York for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder.

          7.4 SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Purchasers

the first anniversary of the earlier of the date the Series A-1 Stock is
converted into Series A Stock or the Company receives a "Redemption Request" (as
defined in Section 6.1 of the Series A-1 Designation) delivered in accordance
with Section 6.1 of the Series A-1 Designation, or (ii) the date on which the
Purchasers have sold or otherwise transferred (other than to their affiliates)
all the Securities issued to such Purchasers hereunder. All statements as to
factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument

                                       28
<Page>

delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and
warranties by the Company hereunder as of the date of such certificate or
instrument.

          7.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, each of
the Purchasers may freely assign its rights hereunder to any person or entity
that is deemed to be an "affiliate" of such Purchaser for purposes of the
Securities Act.

          7.6 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (i) constitutes the full and
entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the
subjects hereof and supercedes all prior understandings and agreements relating
to the subjects hereof, whether written or oral between the parties hereof and
(ii) terminates any and all rights the parties may have had that arose under or
in connection with all prior understanding and agreements, including in each
case all prior term sheets between the Company and any or all of the Purchasers.

          7.7 SEVERABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT. In case any provision of this
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

          7.8 PLACEMENT AGENT'S FEE. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company
intends to pay a fee to Merchants Group International pursuant to that certain
letter agreement, dated as of June 28, 2002, between Merchants Group
International and the Company in connection with the sale of the Securities to
the Purchasers, in its capacity as the placement agent for the Series A
Purchased Shares, the Additional Series A Purchased Shares and the Series A-1
Purchased Shares. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby represents that,
on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there are no other brokers or
finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Series A
Purchased Shares, the Additional Series A Purchased Shares and the Series A-1
Purchased Shares to the Purchasers.

          7.9 LEGENDS. Each certificate representing the Series A Purchased
Shares, the Additional Series A Purchased Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased
Shares, or the Conversion Stock shall be endorsed with a legend referencing such
restrictions of such rules and regulations of the SEC and such contractual
restrictions as the Company deems appropriate and a legend in substantially the
following form:

     THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
     REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
     "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR
     HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
     UNDER THE ACT COVERING SUCH

                                       29
<Page>

     SECURITIES, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
     SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
     REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

Each certificate representing the Series A Purchased Shares, the Additional
Series A Purchased Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, or the Conversion
Stock shall also bear any legend required by any applicable state or foreign
securities laws. The Company need not register a transfer of Shares or
Conversion Stock unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are
satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the
transfer of any of the Series A Purchased Shares, the Additional Series A
Purchased Shares, the Series A-1 Purchased Shares, or Conversion Stock unless
the conditions specified in the foregoing legend is satisfied.

          7.10 REMOVAL OF LEGENDS AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. The legend relating
to the Securities Act endorsed on a stock certificate pursuant to Section 7.9 of
this Agreement and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the shares of
the Series A Stock, the Series A-1 Stock, or Common Stock into which the Series
A is convertible represented by such certificate shall be removed and the
Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such
shares, if such shares are sold under the Shelf Registration or Rule 144 or, in
the event subsection (ii) below applies, are eligible to be sold and such holder
provides to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that (i) a public sale, transfer or assignment may be made
without registration or (ii) such shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of
the Securities Act.

          7.11 TITLES AND SUBTITLES The titles of the Sections and subsections

          7.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument.

          7.13 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. It is agreed that no delay or omission to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Purchasers, upon any breach
or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right,
power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter
occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of
any kind or character by the Purchasers of any breach or default under this
Agreement, or any waiver by the Purchasers of any provisions or conditions of
this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in writing and that all remedies, either under this
Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to the Purchasers, shall be
cumulative and not alternative.
