         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

                          ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE

         1.1      PURCHASE AND SALE. On the terms and subject to the conditions

Seller will sell and each of the Purchasers will purchase (i) the Preferred
Stock in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, and (ii) the numbers of
Warrants set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. The shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock are referred to herein as the "Conversion
Shares," and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
are referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares." The Preferred Stock, the
Warrants, the Conversion Shares, the Dividend Shares (as hereinafter defined)
and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the "Securities."

         1.2      TERMS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS. The terms and
provisions of the Preferred Stock are set forth in the Form of Certificate of
Designation of Series D 8% Cumulative Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, in the

         1.3      TRANSFERS; LEGENDS.

                  (a)      Any of the Securities may be transferred, in whole or
in part, by any of the Purchasers at any time by delivering written transfer
instructions to the Seller, and the Seller shall reflect such transfer on its
books and records and reissue certificates evidencing the Securities being
transferred. The Seller hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books

                                       1


of the Seller and with any transfer agent for the securities of the Seller any
transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser. Any
transferee other than a purchaser of shares of Common Stock which have been
registered under the Securities Act shall have the rights of a Purchaser under
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. The Seller shall reissue
certificates evidencing the Securities upon surrender of certificates evidencing
the Securities being transferred in accordance with this Section 1.3(a). Any

Person (as such term is defined below) that, directly or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control
with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). With respect to a
Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a
discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Purchaser will be
deemed to be an Affiliate of such Purchaser. A "Person" means any individual or
corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association,
joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an
agency or subdivision of any thereof) or other entity of any kind.

                  OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT UNLESS THE
                  ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE RECEIVES AN OPINION OF
                  LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER
                  AND ITS LEGAL COUNSEL THAT SUCH SALE IS EXEMPT FROM

warrants and covenants to the Purchasers, except as set forth on the Schedule of
Representations and Warranties attached hereto as Schedule 3 specifically
identifying the applicable section of this Article III, it being understood that
information disclosed under a particular section of Schedule 3 shall be deemed

corporation and are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of
the property owned or leased by them or the nature of their activities makes

Effect" means, with respect to any person or entity, a material adverse effect
on its or its Subsidiaries' condition (financial or otherwise), business,

this Agreement, the term "Subsidiary" or "Subsidiaries" means, with respect to
any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other

Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, and the subsequent issuance of
the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, and the subsequent issuance,
if the Seller so elects, of shares of Common Stock in payment of the dividends
on the Preferred Stock, which shares of Common Stock are herein referred to as
"Dividend Shares") have been duly authorized, and no additional corporate action
is required for the approval of this Agreement or the Related Documents. The
Conversion Shares, the Dividend Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") to file reports pursuant
to Sections 13 and 15(d) thereof (all such reports filed or required to be filed
by the Seller, including all exhibits thereto or incorporated therein by
reference, and all documents filed by the Seller under the Securities Act are

with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (ii) did
not at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior
to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Seller has
previously delivered to the Purchaser a correct and complete copy of each report
which the Seller filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or
the "Commission") under the Exchange Act for any period ending on or after
December 31, 2001 (the "Recent Reports," which term includes all exhibits

Reports which have not been filed via the SEC's EDGAR filing system. All of the
information about the Seller or its Subsidiaries which has been disclosed to the
Purchasers herein

or in the course of discussions and negotiations with respect hereto which is
material to the Seller has been disclosed in the Recent Reports.

         3.7      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Each of the Seller's consolidated
balance sheet and related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity (including the related notes), as contained in
the Recent Reports (collectively, the "Seller's Financial Statements" or the
"Financial Statements") (x) present fairly in all material respects the
financial position of the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the results of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity
as of and for each of the periods then ended, except that any unaudited
financial statements are subject to normal year-end adjustments, and (y) were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, in each case,
except as otherwise indicated in the notes thereto.

         3.8      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance and have conducted their business so as to comply in all respects
with all laws, rules and regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any court,
administrative agency, commission, self regulatory organization, regulatory
authority or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or
foreign, applicable to its operations except as in each case could not in the
aggregate have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no judgments or
orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a
court or administrative agency or by arbitration), including any such actions
relating to affirmative action claims or claims of discrimination, against the
Seller or its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or businesses.

         3.9      NO DEFAULTS. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are not, nor will
they be with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, (i) in violation of
any provision of their Charter and Bylaws (ii) in default or violation of any
term, condition or provision of (A) any judgment, decree, order, injunction or
stipulation applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries or (B) any material
agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument, permit,
concession, franchise or license to which the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a
party or by which the Seller or its Subsidiaries or their properties or assets
may be bound, and no circumstances exist which would entitle any party to any
material agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument to
which such Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party, to terminate such as a result
of such Seller or its Subsidiaries, having failed to meet any provision thereof
including, but not limited to, meeting any applicable milestone under any
material agreement or contract.

         3.10     LITIGATION. Except as disclosed in Item 3 of the Seller's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, there is no
action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the
best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller and any of its
Subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or its Subsidiaries.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened, which in any manner
challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, and, to the Seller's knowledge, there is no
basis for the assertion of any of the foregoing. There are no claims or
complaints existing or, to the knowledge of the Seller or its Subsidiaries,
threatened for product liability in respect of any

                                       8


product of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries
are not aware of any basis for the assertion of any such claim.

         3.11     ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Since December 31, 2002, the
Seller has conducted its business only in the ordinary course and there has not
occurred, except as set forth in the Recent Reports:

                           (iii)    issuance or sale of options or other rights

                                    with past practices;

                           (iv)     issuance or sale of any stock, bond or other

patents, patent applications, patent licenses, trademarks, trade names, service
marks, trade secrets, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned or
licensed by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, except as among the Seller and its
Subsidiaries.

         3.12     NO UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES. The Seller and its Subsidiaries do
not have any direct or indirect indebtedness, liabilities, claim, loss, damage,
deficiency, obligation or responsibility, known or unknown, fixed or unfixed,
choate or inchoate, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether or not of a kind required by GAAP to
be set forth in financial statements, including but not limited to off-balance
sheet financings, guarantees and similar transactions ("Liabilities") which are
not fully and adequately reflected in the Financial Statements. To the knowledge
of the Seller, there are no existing circumstances, conditions, events or
arrangements which may hereafter give rise to any Liabilities of the Seller or
its Subsidiaries except in the ordinary course of business.

         3.13     TAXES. All tax returns and tax reports required to be filed
with respect to the income, operations, business or assets of the Seller and its
Subsidiaries have been timely filed (or appropriate extensions have been
obtained) with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in
which such returns and reports are required to be filed, and all of the
foregoing as filed are correct and complete and, in all material respects,
reflect accurately all liability for taxes of the Seller and its Subsidiaries
for the periods to which such returns relate, and all amounts shown as owing
thereon have been paid. All income, profits, franchise, sales, use, value added,
occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding, FICA, FUTA and other taxes
(including interest and penalties), if any, collectible or payable by the Seller
and its Subsidiaries or relating to or chargeable against any of its material
assets, revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent contractor,
creditor, stockholder or other third party through the Closing Date, were fully
collected and paid by such date if due by such date or provided for by adequate
reserves in the Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended December
31, 2002 (other than taxes accruing after such date) and all similar items due
through the Closing Date will have been fully paid by that date or provided for
by adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes

                                       10


were reported or reflected in any tax returns or filings. No taxation authority
has sought to audit the records of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for the
purpose of verifying or disputing any tax returns, reports or related
information and disclosures provided to such taxation authority, or for the
Seller's or any of its Subsidiaries' alleged failure to provide any such tax
returns, reports or related information and disclosure. To the knowledge of
Seller and its Subsidiaries, no material claims or deficiencies have been
asserted against or inquiries raised with the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries
with respect to any taxes or other governmental charges or levies which have not
been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims that, or inquiries whether,
the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was
required to file, and there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any
such claims or inquiries. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has
waived any restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes or consented to the
extension of any statute of limitations relating to taxation. Neither the Seller
nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any tax sharing or indemnification
agreement, and none of them is liable for the taxes of any other Person (other
than Subsidiaries) whether as a transferee, successor, by contract or otherwise.

         3.14     INTERESTS OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHER AFFILIATES. The

personal, tangible or intangible, used in or pertaining to Seller's business,
including any interest in the Seller's Intellectual Property (as defined in
Section 3.15 hereof), as set forth in the Recent Reports, is true and complete,
and no officer, director or, to the Seller's knowledge, other Affiliate of the
Seller has any interest in any property, real or personal, tangible or
intangible, used in or pertaining to the Seller's business, including the
Seller's Intellectual Property, other than as set forth in the Recent Reports.

         3.15     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Other than as set forth in the Recent
Reports: (a) the Seller or a Subsidiary thereof has the right to use or is the
sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all foreign

marks, trade names, brands and copyrights (whether or not registered and, if
applicable, including pending applications for registration) owned, used or
controlled by the Seller and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Rights") and
in and to each material invention, software, trade secret, technology, product,
composition, formula, method of process used by the Seller and any intangible
property and assets that are material to the business of the Seller or its
Subsidiaries (the Rights and such other items, the "Intellectual Property"), and
has the right to use the same, free and clear of any claim or conflict with the
rights of others; (b) no royalties or fees (license or otherwise) are payable by
the Seller or its Subsidiaries to any Person by reason of the ownership or use
of any of the Intellectual Property except as set forth on Schedule 3.15; (c) to
the Seller's knowledge, there have been no claims made against the Seller or any
Subsidiary asserting the invalidity, abuse, misuse, or unenforceability of any
of the Intellectual Property, and, to each of their knowledge, there are no
reasonable grounds for any such claims; (d) neither the Seller nor any
subsidiary has made any claim of any violation or infringement by others of its
rights in the Intellectual Property, and to the best of their knowledge, no
reasonable grounds for such claims exist; and (e) neither the Seller nor any
Subsidiary has received any notice that it is in conflict with or infringing
upon the asserted rights of others in connection with the Intellectual Property,
and to the best of their knowledge, no reasonable grounds for such claims exist.
Each of the Seller and its Subsidiaries has taken security measures designed to
enable it to assert trade secret protection in its non-patented technology.

                                       11


         3.16     RESTRICTIONS ON BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. Other than as set forth
in the Recent Reports, there is no agreement, judgment, injunction, order or
decree binding upon the Seller or its Subsidiaries which has or could reasonably
be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any
business practice of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, any acquisition of property
by the Seller or its Subsidiaries or the conduct of business by the Seller or
its Subsidiaries as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted

         3.17     PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. No Person possesses any preemptive rights,

conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants, or the Dividend
Shares, if any, issuable (at the Seller's election) in payment of dividends on
the Preferred Stock, as applicable.

         3.18     INSURANCE. The insurance policies providing insurance coverage
to the Seller or its Subsidiaries, including for product liability, provide
adequate and customary coverage for the business conducted by the Seller and its
Subsidiaries and are sufficient for compliance by the Seller and its
Subsidiaries with all requirements of law and all material agreements to which
the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party or by which any of their assets are
bound. All of such policies are with financially sound and reputable insurers
having an "A" rating or better from Best's Rating Service (or any successor
thereto), are in full force and effect and are valid and enforceable in
accordance with their terms, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have complied
with all material terms and conditions of such policies, including premium
payments. None of the insurance carriers has indicated to the Seller or its
Subsidiaries an intention to cancel any such policy.

         3.19     SUBSIDIARIES AND INVESTMENTS. Except as set forth in the
Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.19, the Seller has no Subsidiaries or
Investments. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Investments" shall mean,
with respect to any Person, all advances, loans or extensions of credit to any
other Person, all purchases or commitments to purchase any stock, bonds, notes,
debentures or other securities of any other Person, and any other investment in
any other Person, including partnerships or joint ventures (whether by capital
contribution or otherwise) or other similar arrangement (whether written or
oral) with any Person, including but not limited to arrangements in which (i)
the Person shares profits and losses, (ii) any such other Person has the right
to obligate or bind the Person to any third party, or (iii) the Person may be

joint venture or other arrangement.

                  A number of shares equal to the number set forth on Schedule 1
                           hereto will be, immediately prior to the Closing of
                           this Agreement, designated as the Series D 8%
                           Cumulative Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, of
                           which no shares are issued and outstanding
                           immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.

All shares of the Seller's issued and outstanding capital stock have been duly
authorized, are validly issued and outstanding, and are fully paid and
nonassessable. No securities issued by the Seller from January 1, 2000, to the
date hereof were issued in violation of any statutory, contractual or common law
preemptive rights. There are no dividends which have accrued or been declared
but are unpaid on the capital stock of the Seller. All taxes required to be paid
by Seller in connection with the issuance and any transfers of the Seller's
capital stock have been paid. All permits or authorizations required to be
obtained from or registrations required to be effected with any Person in
connection with any and all issuances of securities of the Seller from January
1, 2000, to the date hereof have been obtained or effected, and all securities
of the Seller issued on or after January 1, 2000, have been issued in accordance
with the provisions of all applicable securities or other laws.

         3.21     OPTIONS, WARRANTS, RIGHTS. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.21, there are no outstanding (a) securities, notes or instruments convertible
into or exercisable for any of the capital stock or other equity interests of
the Seller or its Subsidiaries; (b) options, warrants, subscriptions or other
rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its
Subsidiaries; or (c) commitments, agreements or understandings of any kind,
including employee benefit arrangements, relating to the issuance or repurchase
by the Seller or its Subsidiaries of any capital stock or other equity interests
of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, any such securities or instruments
convertible into or exercisable for securities or any such options, warrants or
rights. Other than the rights of the Purchasers under the Preferred Stock and
the Warrants, and except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, neither the Seller nor
any Subsidiary has granted anti-dilution rights to any person or entity in
connection with any option, warrant, subscription or any other instrument
convertible into or exercisable for the securities of the Seller or any of its
Subsidiaries. Other than the rights granted to the Purchasers under the
Registration Rights Agreement, there are no outstanding rights which permit the
holder thereof to cause the Seller or the Subsidiaries to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act or which permit the holder thereof to include
securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in a registration statement
filed by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under the Securities Act, and
there are no outstanding agreements or other commitments which otherwise relate
to the registration of any

                                       13


securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for sale or distribution in
any jurisdiction, except as set forth on Schedule 3.21.

         3.22     EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.
(a) Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, there are no
employment, consulting, severance or indemnification arrangements, agreements,
or understandings between the Seller or its Subsidiaries and any officer,
director, consultant or employee of the Seller or its Subsidiaries (the
"Employment Agreements"). No Employment Agreement provides for the acceleration
or change in the award, grant, vesting or determination of options, warrants,
rights, severance payments, or other contingent obligations of any nature
whatsoever of the Seller or its Subsidiaries in favor of any such parties in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except as
disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, the terms of employment or
engagement of all directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and
professional advisors of the Seller and its Subsidiaries are such that their
employment or engagement may be terminated upon not more than two weeks' notice
given at any time without liability for payment of compensation or damages and
the Seller and its Subsidiaries have not entered into any agreement or
arrangement for the management of their business or any part thereof other than
with their directors or employees.

                  (b)      Except as set forth on Schedule 3.22, the Seller and
its Subsidiaries have no pension, retirement, stock purchase, stock bonus, stock
ownership, stock option, profit sharing, savings, medical, disability,
hospitalization, insurance, deferred compensation, bonus, incentive, welfare or
any other employee benefit plan, policy, agreement, commitment, arrangement or
practice currently or previously maintained or contributed to by the Seller or
its Subsidiaries for any of its directors, officers, consultants, employees or
former employees (the "Seller Plans"). The Seller has previously made available
to Purchaser, to the extent applicable, (i) a true and complete copy of all of
the Seller Plans (or, if oral, a true and complete written summary thereof);
(ii) a current summary plan description (plus summaries of any subsequent
modifications thereto) for each Seller Plan; (iii) the latest IRS determination
letter obtained with respect to any Seller Plan qualified under Section 401 or
501 of the Code; and (iv) Forms 5500 for the last three (3) plan years for each
Seller Plan required to file such form. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.22,
none of the Seller Plans is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.22,
neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has established, maintained, made
or been required to make any contributions to, or terminated, and has no
liability with respect to, any "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of
ERISA. The Seller and its Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC"), and, to the Seller's
knowledge, no facts or circumstances exist which might give rise to any
liability of the Seller or its Subsidiaries to the PBGC or which could
reasonably be anticipated to result in any claims being made against the
Purchaser, the Seller or their Subsidiaries by the PBGC. To the Seller's
knowledge, no facts or circumstances exist which might give rise to any
liability of any Seller Plan to any other Person, other than in the ordinary
course of the Seller's business. The Seller and its Subsidiaries have paid all
amounts required under applicable law and any Seller Plan to be paid as a
contribution to any Seller Plan through the date hereof. The Seller has set
aside adequate reserves to meet contributions which are not yet due under any
Seller Plan. Neither the Seller, nor its Subsidiaries nor, to the Seller's
knowledge, any other Person has engaged in any transaction with respect to any
Seller Plan which would subject the Seller to any tax, penalty or

                                       14


liability for prohibited transactions. No director, officer or employee of the
Seller or its Subsidiaries, to the extent he or she is a fiduciary with respect
to any Seller Plan, has breached any of his/her responsibilities or obligations
imposed upon fiduciaries or which could result in any claim being made under, by
or on behalf of any Seller Plan. No Seller Plan provides post-employment
medical, health, or life insurance benefits for present or future retirees or
present or future terminated employees, except for continuation coverage
provided pursuant to the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code or Sections
601-608 of ERISA or a similar state law.

                  (c)      No material labor dispute with employees of the
Seller exists or, to the best knowledge of the Seller is imminent.

         3.23     ABSENCE OF CERTAIN BUSINESS PRACTICES. Neither the Seller, nor
any Affiliate of the Seller (including, but not limited to, its Subsidiaries),
nor any agent or employee of the Seller, any other Person acting on behalf of or
associated with the Seller, or any individual related to any of the foregoing
Persons, acting on behalf of the Seller alone or together, has: (a) received,
directly or indirectly, any rebates, payments, commissions, promotional
allowances or any other economic benefits, regardless of their nature or type,
from any customer, supplier, trading company, shipping company, governmental
employee or other Person with whom the Seller or its Subsidiaries has done
business directly or indirectly; or (b) directly or indirectly, given or agreed
to give any gift or similar benefit to any customer, supplier, trading company,
shipping company, governmental employee or other Person who is or may be in a
position to help or hinder the business of the Seller or its Subsidiaries (or
assist the Seller or its Subsidiaries in connection with any actual or proposed
transaction) which (i) may subject the Seller or its Subsidiaries to any damage
or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding, (ii)
if not given in the past, may have had an adverse effect on the Seller or its
Subsidiaries or (iii) if not continued in the future, may adversely affect the
assets, business, operations or prospects of the Seller or its Subsidiaries or
subject the Seller or its Subsidiaries to suit or penalty in any private or
governmental litigation or proceeding.

         3.24     PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. There exists no set of facts (i) which
could furnish a basis for the withdrawal, suspension or cancellation of any
registration, license, permit or other governmental approval or consent of any
governmental or regulatory agency issued to the Seller with respect to any
component of any product being developed by, or that is material to and used by,
the Seller or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) which could have a Material Adverse
Effect on the continued development of any product candidate of the Seller or
its Subsidiaries or which could otherwise cause the Seller or its Subsidiaries
to withdraw, suspend or cancel development of any such product, it being
understood that the Seller is not presently offering any product or service for
sale and has never in the past offered any product or service for sale, and that
the Seller's product candidates will require, before they can be offered for
commercial sale, certain governmental or regulatory licenses, permits or
approvals which have not been issued.

         3.25     ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. None of the premises or any other
property owned, occupied or leased by the Seller or its Subsidiaries (the
"Premises") in the past has been used by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, or to
the Seller's knowledge, by any other Person, to manufacture, treat, utilize,
store, or dispose of any waste, pollutant or toxic or hazardous substance
(including, without limitation, asbestos, radioactive material and pesticides)
or any other substance that has been designated to be a "hazardous substance"
under Environmental Laws ("Hazardous

                                       15


Substances") other than substances customarily used in the Seller's or its
Subsidiaries' businesses and in accordance with applications laws and
regulations. The Seller and its Subsidiaries have not disposed of, discharged,
emitted or released any Hazardous Substances which would require, under
applicable Environmental Laws, remediation, investigation or similar response
activity. No Hazardous Substances are present as a result of the actions of the
Seller or its Subsidiaries or, to the Seller's or its Subsidiaries' knowledge,
any other Person, in, on or under the Premises which would give rise to any
liability or clean-up obligations of the Seller or its Subsidiaries under
applicable Environmental Laws. The Seller and its Subsidiaries and, to the
Seller's and its Subsidiaries' knowledge, any other Person for whose conduct it
may be responsible, are in material compliance with all laws, regulations and
other federal, state or local governmental requirements, and all applicable
judgments, orders, writs, notices, decrees, permits, licenses, approvals,
consents or injunctions in effect on the applicable Closing Date relating to the
generation, management, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal, storage,
delivery, discharge, release or emission of any waste, pollutant or toxic or
hazardous substance (including, without limitation, asbestos, radioactive
material and pesticides) or to any other actions, omissions or conditions
affecting the environment (the "Environmental Laws"). Neither the Seller nor its
Subsidiaries nor, to the Seller's or its Subsidiaries' knowledge, any other
Person for whose conduct it may be responsible has received any complaint,
notice, order, or citation of any actual, threatened or alleged noncompliance
with any of the Environmental Laws, and there is no proceeding, suit or
investigation pending or, to the Seller's or its Subsidiaries knowledge,
threatened against the Seller or its Subsidiaries or any such Person with
respect to any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, and
there is no basis for the institution of any such proceeding, suit or
investigation.

         3.26     LICENSES; COMPLIANCE WITH FDA AND OTHER REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS.

                  (a)      GENERAL. The Seller and its Subsidiaries hold all
authorizations, consents, approvals, franchises, licenses and permits required
under applicable law or regulation for the operation of the business of the
Seller and its Subsidiaries as presently operated (the "Governmental
Authorizations"). All the Governmental Authorizations have been duly issued or
obtained and are in full force and effect, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with the terms of all the Governmental Authorizations. The
Seller and its Subsidiaries have not engaged in any activity that could cause
revocation or suspension of any such Governmental Authorizations. The Seller and
its Subsidiaries have no knowledge of any facts which could reasonably be
expected to cause them to believe that the Governmental Authorizations will not
be renewed by the appropriate governmental authorities in the ordinary course.
Neither the execution, delivery nor performance of this Agreement will adversely
affect the status of any of the Governmental Authorizations.

                  (b)      FDA. Without limiting the generality of the
representations and warranties made in paragraph (a) above, the Seller
represents and warrants that (i) the Seller and each of its Subsidiaries is in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the United
States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC Act"), (ii) the Seller and
each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the following specific
requirements: (A) all of the products used by the Seller and its Subsidiaries
comply in all material respects with any conditions of approval and the terms of
the applications, if any, submitted by or on behalf of the Seller to the United
States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"); (B) all adverse events

                                       16


that were required to be reported by Seller or its Subsidiaries to the FDA have
been reported to the FDA in a timely manner; (C) neither the Seller nor any of
its Subsidiaries is, to their knowledge, employing or utilizing the services of
any individual who has been debarred under the FDC Act; (D) all stability
studies required to be performed by or on behalf of the Seller for products used
by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries have been completed or are ongoing in
accordance with the applicable FDA requirements; and (E) any substances exported
by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries have been exported in compliance in all
material respects with the FDC Act. Without limiting the general liability of
the representations and warranties made in paragraph (a) above, the Seller and
its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
provisions of the Controlled Substances Act.

         3.27     BROKERS. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.27 hereto, no
broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder's or
other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, based upon any arrangement made by or on behalf of the Seller or any
of its Affiliates.

         3.28     SECURITIES LAWS. Neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries nor
any agent acting on behalf of the Seller or its Subsidiaries has taken or will
take any action which might cause this Agreement or any of the Securities to
violate the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any rules or regulations
promulgated thereunder, or any applicable state securities laws, as in effect on
the Closing Date. All offers and sales of capital stock, securities and notes of
the Seller were conducted and completed in compliance with the Securities Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities
laws. All shares of capital stock and other securities issued by the Seller and
its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof have been issued in transactions that
were either registered offerings or were exempt from the registration
requirements under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or
state securities laws and in compliance with all applicable corporate laws.

         3.29     DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty made by the Seller
in this Agreement, nor in any document, written information, financial
statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared and furnished by the Seller
pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements or facts contained herein
or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were
furnished.

         3.30     CHANGE IN CONTROL. Assuming that there are no contractual
agreements (other than this Agreement) among any two or more of the Purchasers
with respect to the purchase, sale or other disposition, or voting of the equity
securities of the Company, the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Related Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (including the conversion of some or all of the
Preferred Stock, the exercise of some or all of the Warrants and the issuance of
the Conversion Shares, Dividend Shares and Warrant Shares) do not and will not
constitute a change in control under or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation, severance or similar payments, or acceleration or loss of any
benefit under any material agreement, contract or other instrument binding upon
the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, under any material license, franchise,
permit or other similar authorization held by the Seller or any of its
Subsidiaries or under any agreement or

                                       17


arrangement between the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries and their directors,
officers, employees or consultants.

         3.31     APPLICATION OF TAKEOVER PROTECTION. The Seller and its board
of directors have taken all necessary action in order to render inapplicable,
and have rendered inapplicable, any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti- takeover provision under the Charter, the By-laws, the
laws of the state of its incorporation or any rights plan or similar arrangement
which is or could become applicable as a result of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Seller's issuance of the
Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants,
the Conversion Shares, the Dividend Shares or the Warrant Shares.

         3.32     NASDAQ COMPLIANCE. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
(the "Nasdaq Stock Market"), and the Seller has taken no action designed to, or
which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the
registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common
Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market. The issuance of the Securities does not
require stockholder approval, including, without limitation, pursuant to the
Nasdaq Marketplace Rules as in effect on the Closing Date, including without
limitation all Interpretive Materials issued on or before the Closing Date. No
order ceasing or suspending trading in any securities of Seller or prohibiting
the issuance and/or sale of the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Conversion Shares,
Dividend Shares or Warrant Shares is in effect and no proceedings for such
purpose are pending or, to the Seller's knowledge, threatened.

         3.33     MATERIAL CONTRACTS. Each of the Seller's and its Subsidiaries
material contracts (which, for purposes of this Agreement, means any agreement,
contract or other document which the Seller would be required to disclose
pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 601, Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 or 10) are
listed as exhibits to the Recent Reports and are in full force and effect on the
date hereof, and none of the Seller, its Subsidiaries nor, to the Seller's or
any Subsidiary's knowledge, any other party to such contracts is in breach of or
default under any of such contracts. The Seller is not required to file and will
not be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other
instrument entered into by the Seller or any Subsidiary prior to the date hereof
which has not been previously filed as an exhibit to its Recent Reports.

         3.34     TITLE TO AND CONDITION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY; NO LIENS. The
Seller and its Subsidiaries have good and valid title to, or, in the case of
leased properties and assets, valid leasehold interests in, all of their
tangible properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used in their
business, free and clear of any Liens, except as set forth on Schedule 3.34. All
tangible personal property owned by the Seller and its Subsidiaries is in good
operating condition and in a good state of maintenance and repair, and is
adequate for the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by the Seller
and its Subsidiaries. Except for the Leases specifically identified in Schedule

operation of the business of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, as presently
conducted or proposed to be conducted.

                                       18


          ARTICLE IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

                  Each Purchaser, for itself, hereby severally, and not jointly,
represents and warrants to the Seller as follows:

         4.1      EXISTENCE AND POWER. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such
Purchaser's organization. The Purchaser has all powers required to carry on such
Purchaser's business as now conducted.

         4.2      AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Purchaser of this Agreement, the Related Documents to which such Purchaser is a
party, and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly authorized, and no additional action is required for the
approval of this Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Documents to which
the Purchaser is a party have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby, will
be duly executed and delivered and constitute valid and binding agreements of
the Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their
terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the
enforcement of rights of creditors and except that enforceability of their
obligations thereunder are subject to general principles of equity.

         4.3      INVESTMENT. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its
own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, any distribution thereof, nor with the intention of distributing or
reselling the same, provided, however, that by making the representation herein,
the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the securities for any minimum or
other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption
under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that none of the Securities has
been registered under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities or
blue sky laws. The Purchaser is an "Accredited Investor" as such term is defined
in Rule 501 of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

         4.4      NONCONTRAVENTION. Neither the execution and the delivery of
this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment,
order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government,
governmental agency, or court to which Purchaser is subject or any provision of
its charter or bylaws or other similar governing instruments.

         4.5      NO REGISTRATION. The Purchaser understands that the Preferred
Stock and Warrants are being offered and sold to such Purchaser in reliance upon
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal
and state securities laws and that the Seller is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Purchaser's compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set
forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the
eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

         4.6      BUSINESS OR FINANCIAL EXPERTISE; QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
BUYER. Purchaser has, by reason of Purchaser's business or financial expertise
or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors who are
unaffiliated with and who are not, to such Purchaser's

                                       19


knowledge, compensated by the Seller or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Seller, directly or indirectly, the capacity to protect its own interests in
connection with its acquisition of the Securities. If the Purchaser is
identified on Schedule 1 as being a "qualified institutional buyer," such
Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A
promulgated under the Securities Act. Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask
questions about the Seller's business affairs and financial condition, and has
acquired sufficient information about the Seller to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.

         4.7      BROKERS' FEES. Purchaser has no liability or obligation to pay
any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Seller could become
liable or obligated; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Purchaser understands that certain fees payable in the form of cash and warrants
will be paid by the Seller to SCO Group in accordance with agreements between
the Seller and SCO Group.

               ARTICLE V - COVENANTS OF THE SELLER AND PURCHASERS

         5.1      INSURANCE. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall maintain
insurance coverage which is adequate and customary coverage for the business in
which the Seller and its Subsidiaries shall then be engaged in. The Seller and
its Subsidiaries shall, from time to time upon the written request of the
Purchasers, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Seller evidence, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, of the maintenance
of all insurance maintained by it for loss or damage by fire and other hazards,
damage or injury to persons and property, including from product liability, and
under workmen's compensation laws.

         5.2      REPORTING OBLIGATIONS. So long as at least 60 shares of
Preferred Stock are outstanding, and so long as Warrants are outstanding under
which more than 700,000 shares of Common Stock may be acquired, the Seller shall
furnish to the Purchasers, or any other persons who hold any of the Preferred
Stock or Warrants (provided that such holders give notice to the Seller that
they hold Preferred Stock or Warrants and furnish their addresses) promptly upon
their becoming available one copy of each report, notice or proxy statement sent
by the Seller to its stockholders generally, and of each regular or periodic
report (pursuant to the Exchange Act) and any registration statement, prospectus
or written communication other than transmittal letters (pursuant to the
Securities Act) relating to the Conversion Shares, the Dividend Shares and the
Warrant Shares and filed by the Seller with (i) the Commission or (ii) any
securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are listed, provided,
however, that the Seller shall not be required to deliver any report filed and
available through the SEC's EDGAR website. To the extent that the Seller is no
longer required to provide information pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Seller
shall provide the Purchasers with (i) within 45 days after the close of each
fiscal quarter in each fiscal year of the Seller an unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Seller, a consolidated statement of income of the Seller,
and a consolidated statement of cash flows of the Seller, as at the end of and
for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with
such month, prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end
adjustments and complete notes thereto; and (ii) within 90 days after the close
of each fiscal year then ended of the Seller a consolidated balance sheet of the
Seller, a consolidated statement of income of the Seller, and a consolidated
statement of cash flows of the Seller, as at the end of

                                       20


and for the fiscal year then ended, setting forth the corresponding figures of
the previous fiscal year in comparative form, and certified (without any
qualification or exception reasonably deemed material by the Purchasers, other
than a qualification as to the going-concern status of the Seller or the
unavailability of Arthur Anderson LLP) by the independent certified public
accountants of the Seller.

         5.3      INVESTIGATION. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or diminished in
any way by any investigation (or failure to investigate) at any time by or on
behalf of the party for whose benefit such representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements were made. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the inability or failure of the Purchasers to discover any breach,
default or misrepresentation by the Seller under this Agreement or the Related
Documents (including under any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement)
shall not in any way diminish any liability hereunder.

         5.4      PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Neither the Purchasers nor the Seller
shall (and each such party shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its
Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and authorized
representatives not to), issue any press release, make any public announcement
or furnish any written statement to its employees or stockholders generally
concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent
of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except to
the extent required by applicable law or the applicable requirements of
applicable stock exchange rules (including Nasdaq) or as otherwise contemplated
herein (and in either such case such party shall, to the extent consistent with
timely compliance with such requirement, consult with the other party prior to
making the required release, announcement or statement). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Seller shall, promptly after the Closing, issue a press release

reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a
current basis by the Indemnifying Party if such expenses are required to be paid
pursuant to this Agreement. With regard to other claims for which
indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid
