duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which they are incorporated, and have the requisite corporate
power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business
as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in
every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the
business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the
extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have
a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect"
means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets,
operations, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated

interest is set forth on Schedule 3(a).

Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation,
under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated (except for

the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any,

issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Certificates of
Designations. The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the Common
Stock's authorization for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ") or

Current Report on Form 8-K this Agreement, each of the Certificates of

provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the Announcing

and agents, and if the Company has not publicly disclosed the material nonpublic
information within 12 hours of written notice of the breach from such Investor,

an Investor shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a
press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material nonpublic
information without the prior approval by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any
of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. No
Investor shall have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any of
its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders or agents
for any such disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any
Investor shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or disclosing the name of any
Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the
prior approval of any Investor, to make any press release or other public
disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with
the Announcing Form 8-K and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required
by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each
Investor shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press
release or other public disclosure prior to its release).
g. Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide each stockholder
---------------
entitled to vote at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company,
which meeting shall occur on or before July 31, 2001 (the "Stockholder Meeting
Deadline"), a proxy statement, which has been previously reviewed by the
Investors and a counsel of their choice, soliciting each such stockholder's
affirmative vote at such annual stockholder meeting for approval of the
Company's issuance of all of the Securities as described in this Agreement in
accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Principal
Market (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the "Stockholder
Approval"), and the Company shall use its best efforts to solicit its
stockholders' approval of such issuance of the Securities and to cause the Board
of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve
such proposal.
h. Corporate Existence. So long as an Investor beneficially owns
-------------------
any Preferred Stock, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and
shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in the

Company's assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction
(i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the agreements and
instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded
corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on Nasdaq or
NYSE.
i. Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that
--------------------
the Securities may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide
margin agreement or other loan secured by the Securities. The pledge of
Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the
Securities hereunder, and no Investor 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, any other Transaction
Document or the Certificates of Designations, including without limitation,
Section 2(a) of this Agreement; provided that an Investor and its pledgee shall
be required to comply with the provisions of
14
Section 2(a) hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of
Securities to such pledgee. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver
such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an Investor.

Ltd. (an Investor) or its designee(s), by wire transfer of immediately available
funds in accordance with each such Investor's written wire instructions.
k. Limitation on Net Sales of Common Stock. So long as an Investor
---------------------------------------
holds any Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Common Shares, such Investor
agrees that it will not enter into, directly or indirectly, any net sales of
Common Stock on any single day (each such day is referred to as a "Limited Sales
Day") in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i)
the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the number of Series A Preferred Shares
held by such Investor on the date of this Agreement, divided by (y) 6,000,
multiplied by (B) 2.4% of the daily trading volume for the Common Stock (as
reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg")) for that trading day
(such amount, with respect to such Limited Sales Day, is referred to as such
Investor's "Daily Sales Amount"), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all such
Investor's Daily Sales Amounts during the period beginning on and including the
date immediately following the Closing Date and ending on and including the date
immediately preceding the Limited Sales Day with respect to which this
determination is being made, less the net sales of Common Stock made by such
Investor on each of the days during such period; provided, however, that the
restrictions on net sales set forth above shall not apply (i) on and after the
first date on which there has been any Change of Control (as defined in Section
4(b) of the Series B Certificate of Designations) or an announcement of any
pending, proposed or intended Change of Control, (ii) on and after the first
date on which there has occurred a Triggering Event (as defined in Section 3(b)
of the applicable Certificates of Designations) or an event that with the
passage of time and without being cured would constitute a Triggering Event,
(iii) if the Company is in default under any of the Certificates of Designations
for failing to effect any requested conversion or redemption of any Preferred
Shares pursuant to the applicable Certificates of Designations, (iv) on and
after any date on which the Company issues or sells or is deemed to have issued
or sold any securities with a Variable Price (as defined in the Series B
Certificate of Designations), except for the Settlement Notes (as defined in
Section 2(f)(i) of the Series B Certificate of Designations), (v) on and after
the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, if the Company fails to receive the
Stockholder Approval on or before the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, (vi) on and
after the 30/th/ trading day prior to the date which is three (3) years after
the Closing Date, or (vii) with respect to any sale of Common Stock at a price
equal to or greater than $17.50 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations or other similar transactions) and any such sale
shall be ignored for all purposes of this Section 4(k).
l. Restrictions on Issuances of Preferred Shares. The Company shall
---------------------------------------------
not issue any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or
Series D Preferred Stock to anyone other than the Investors, except on the
Closing Date concurrent with the Closing to holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock.
15
m. Supplemental Representation Regarding the Nasdaq 19.99% Rule. If
------------------------------------------------------------
the Company receives written confirmation from NASDAQ that both the Common Stock
and the Company's Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, are included
for purposes of the Nasdaq 19.99% Rule, then the Company shall provide to each
Investor a copy of such written confirmation from Nasdaq (provided that such
copy shall not contain any material nonpublic information).
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
---------------------------
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
---------
Instructions"), and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates,
registered in the name of each Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the
Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each
Investor to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. Prior to
registration of the Common Shares and the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act,
all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section
2(b) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop
transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(b) hereof (in the case of the
Common Shares and the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Common
Shares and the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act) will be given by the
Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. If an
Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally
acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of
Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or the Investor
provides the Company with reasonable assurances (including, if requested by the
Company, delivering such reasonable assurances to the Company's counsel in
connection with such counsel rendering an opinion on the validity of a sale by
such Investor pursuant to Rule 144) that the Securities can be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the
transfer, and, in the case of the Common Shares and the Conversion Shares,
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such
name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor and without any
restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors by vitiating
the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the
Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance
and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any
bond or other security being required.

d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be

e. Entire Agreement; Effect on Prior Agreements; Amendments.
--------------------------------------------------------
i. Except for the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 17, 2000 by and among the
Company, the Investors and the Other Investors (the "Series A Registration
Rights Agreement"), the Series A Certificate of Designations, the Waiver
Agreements, each executed as of January 3, 2001, among the Company and each
of the Investors, and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), this Agreement, the
Certificates of Designations and each of the other Transaction Documents
supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between each Investor,
the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with
respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the
instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except
as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any
Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with
respect to such matters.
ii. If the Closing occurs on or prior to June 4, 2001 (or such
later date as the Company and each Investor agree in writing), then
effective as of the Closing, each Investor, severally and not jointly,
permanently waives
21
the Company's compliance with its obligations under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, except for Sections 8 and 9 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement. If the Closing occurs on or prior to June 4, 2001 (or such later
date as the Company and each Investor agree in writing), then effective as
of the Closing, each Investor, severally and not joint, permanently waives
the Company's compliance with its obligations under the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement, except for Sections 5, 6 and 7 of the Series
A Registration Rights Agreement. If the Closing occurs on or prior to June
4, 2001 (or such later date as the Company and each Investor agree in
writing), then effective as of the Closing, the Company permanently waives
each Investor's compliance with its obligations under the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement, except for Sections 6 and 7 of the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement.
iii. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the
holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Common Shares and Conversion
Shares (assuming conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares without
giving effect to any limitations on conversion) or, if prior to the Closing
Date, the Investors holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Series A
Preferred Shares then outstanding. No such amendment shall be effective to
the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the
Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to
any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any of the Transaction Documents or the Certificates of Designations
unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the
Transaction Documents or holders of Securities, as the case may be.

including any purchasers of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Common Shares and
Conversion Shares (assuming conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares
without giving effect to any limitations on conversion), including by merger or

Company is in compliance with Section 4 of each of the Certificates of
Designations and Section 4(h) of this Agreement. An Investor may assign some or
all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, provided,
however, that the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the applicable
provisions of this Agreement and the Company has consented to such assignment
and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents,
the Investors shall be entitled to pledge the Securities in connection with a
bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities.
24
h. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
----------------------------
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other person.
i. Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section
--------
9(k), the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investors
contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in
Sections 4, 5 and 9, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8,
shall survive the Closing. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
j. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to
------------------
be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
k. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have
-----------
occurred with respect to an Investor on or before June 4, 2001 due to the
Company's or such Investor's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Sections 6 and 7 above (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such
unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of
business on such date without liability of any party to any other party;
provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section
9(k), the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse any nonbreaching Investor
for the expenses described in Section 4(j) above.
l. Placement Agent. The Company acknowledges that it has not
---------------
engaged a placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement; however, the Company has engaged Friedman, Billings & Ramsey,
Inc. as a financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any
placement agent's fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers' commissions
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense
(including, without limitation, attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses)
arising in connection with any such claim.
m. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will
----------------------
be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
n. Remedies. Each Investor and each holder of the Securities shall
--------
have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and the
Certificates of Designations and all rights and remedies which such holders have
been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the
rights which such holders have under any law. Any person
25
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and
to exercise all other rights granted by law.
o. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
-----------------
payment or payments to any Investor hereunder or pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement, any of the Certificates of Designations or the Investors
enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
p. Mutual General Release.
----------------------
i. In consideration of the releases set forth in Sections
9(p)(ii) and 9(p)(iii), effective as of the Closing, each Investor,
severally and not jointly, on behalf of itself and, to the extent

the Company, (ii) any of the Company's current or former parents,

Persons"), including, without limitation, Investor Claims arising out
of or relating to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement and the Series A Certificate of
Designations (collectively, the "Released Documents") other than

affiliates, subsidiaries, attorneys, accountants, successors,

current or former officers, directors, employees, agents, principals,
investors, signatories, advisors, consultants, spouses, heirs, estates,
executors, attorneys, auditors and associates and members of their
immediate families (collectively, the "Investor Released Persons"),
including, without limitation, any Company Claims arising out of or
relating to the Released Documents; provided, however, that if such
Investor breaches its obligations under Section 4(a), then the release set
forth in this Section 9(p)(ii) shall be null and void and of no further
force or effect.
iii. In further consideration of the Investors entering into
this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, the Company on behalf of
itself and, to the extent permitted by law, the other Company Releasing
Persons, hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, but subject to Section 9(p)(iv) below, any and all Company Claims,
that any of the Company Releasing Persons had, currently has or then has
against any of the Investor Released Persons, including, without
limitation, any Company Claims arising out of or relating to the Released
Documents.
iv. The Company and each of the Investors acknowledge that the
releases set forth in Sections 9(p)(i), 9(p)(ii) and 9(p)(iii) above do not
affect any claim which any Company Releasing Person or Investor Releasing
Person may have under this Agreement, Section 8 or Section 9(m) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement or Sections 5, 6 or 7 of the Series A
Registration Rights Agreement.
