is a true and complete list of the stockholders of the Company, showing
the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company
held by each stockholder as of the date of this Agreement and the

set forth on Schedule 3.5 and as contemplated by this Agreement, there
are no agreements, written or oral, between the Company and any holder
of its capital stock, or among any holders of its capital stock,
relating to the acquisition (including, without limitation, rights of

the Series A Preferred, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

performance by the Company of this Agreement and all other agreements
required to be executed by the Company on or prior to the Closing
pursuant to Section 5 (the "Ancillary Agreements"), and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.
This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.7, the execution and performance of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements and compliance with their provisions by the Company: (i)
will not violate any provision of law applicable to the Company; and
(ii) will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, its
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each as amended to
date and presently in effect), or any indenture, lease, agreement or
other instrument to which the Company is
-4-
a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, or any
decree, judgment, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company.
3.8 Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,
declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required on
the part of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Series A
Preferred, the issue and delivery of the Conversion Shares or the other

Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, except (i) such filings as
shall have been made prior to and shall be effective on and as of the
Closing and (ii) if required, qualifications or filings under the
Securities Act and other applicable state securities laws which

Series A Preferred to each of the Investors will be in compliance with
applicable Federal and state securities laws.
3.9 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.9, there is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or to the
Company's knowledge currently threatened against the Company that
questions the validity of this Agreement, or the Ancillary Agreements
or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which
might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the
Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity
ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any
basis for any of the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without
limitation, actions pending or threatened against the Company (or any
basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of
any of the Company's employees, their use in connection with the
Company's business of any information or techniques allegedly
proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations
under any agreements with prior employers. The Company is not a party
or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment
or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There
is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company
currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.
3.10 Absence of Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.10, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other
than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business that
individually or in the aggregate are not material to the financial

are true and correct and all taxes shown thereon to be due have been
timely paid, with any exceptions permitted by any taxing authority not
having a materially adverse effect on the Company. Federal income tax

which the Company has access to any confidential information used by
the Company in its business (the "Intellectual Property Rights"). The
Company owns, or has the right to use, free and clear of all liens,
charges, claims and restrictions, under the agreements and upon the

received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or,
by conducting its business as currently proposed, would violate any of
the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
licenses, trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person
or entity ("Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights"), and to the best
of the Company's knowledge, the business proposed by the Company will
not cause the Company to infringe or violate any Third Party
Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is not aware of any violation
by any third party of any Intellectual Property Rights of the Company
or of any defects therein or in the title thereto. The Company is not
aware that any officer, employee or director is obligated under any
contract (including any license, covenant or commitment of any nature)
or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative agency, that would conflict or interfere with:
(i) the performance of such person's duties as an officer, employee or
director of the Company; (ii) the use of such person's best efforts to
promote the interests of the Company; or (iii) the Company's business
as conducted or proposed to be conducted. No person or entity

the Company) has any right to or interest in any inventions,
improvements, discoveries or other information assigned to the Company
by any employee pursuant to
-6-
the Nondisclosure Agreement (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B)
executed by such employee, or otherwise.

complied with all laws, regulations and orders applicable to its
present and proposed business and has all material franchises, permits
and licenses and any similar authority for the conduct of its business
now being conducted by it. There is no term or provision of any
material mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to
which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, of any state or Federal judgment, decree,
order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon the

may now foresee, in the future is reasonably likely to materially
adversely affect, the business, prospects, condition, affairs or
operations of the Company or any of its properties or assets. No

threatened with respect to the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule

regarding his employment. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18, the

and consultant of the Company has executed a Nondisclosure Agreement in
the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, and all of such agreements are
in full force and effect.
3.20 Books and Records. The minute books of the Company
contain complete and accurate records of all meetings and other
corporate actions of its stockholders and its Board of Directors and
committees thereof. The stock ledger of the Company is complete and
reflects all issuances, repurchases and cancellations of shares of

transfers of shares of capital stock of the Company.
3.21 Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Series A Investor contained in
Section 4 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the Series A
Preferred and the Conversion Shares will be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and will have been registered or qualified (or
are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration,
permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities
laws. Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has
solicited or will solicit any offers to sell or has offered to sell or
will offer to sell all or any part of the Series A Preferred to any
person or persons so as to bring the sale of such Series A Preferred by
the Company within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or
any state securities laws.
3.22 Tax Elections. The Company has not elected pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be
treated as an "S" corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to
Section 341(f) or Section 1362(a) of the Code.
3.23 Disclosures. The Company has provided the Series A
Investor with all information requested by the Series A Investor in
connection with its decision to purchase the Series A Preferred,
including all information the Company believes is reasonably necessary
to make such investment decision. Neither this Agreement, the Exhibits
hereto, the Ancillary Agreements nor any other document delivered by
the Company to the Series A Investor or its attorneys or agents in
connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Business Plan provided to the Series A Investor was
prepared by the management of the Company in a good faith effort to
describe the Company's presently proposed business and products and
-8-
the markets therefore. The assumptions applied in preparing the
Business Plan appeared reasonable to management as of the date thereof
and as of the date hereof; however, there is no assurance that these
assumptions will prove to be valid or that the objectives set forth in
the Business Plan will be achieved. To the Company's knowledge, there
are no facts which (individually or in the aggregate) materially
adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, prospects or operations of the Company that have not been
set forth in the Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Ancillary
Agreements or in other documents delivered to the Series A Investor or
its attorneys or agents in connection herewith.
4. Representations of the Series A Investor. The Series A
Investor represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
4.1 Investment. The Series A Investor is acquiring the Series
A Preferred and the Conversion Shares for its own account for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or
selling the same; and, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the
Exhibits hereto, the Series A Investor has no present or contemplated
agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or
commitment providing for the disposition thereof.
4.2 Authority. The Series A Investor has full power and
authority to enter into and to perform this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements in accordance with their terms and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by the
Series A Investor and constitute valid and binding obligations of such
Investor enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
4.3 Experience. The Series A Investor has carefully reviewed
the representations concerning the Company contained in this Agreement
and has made detailed inquiry concerning the Company, its business and
its personnel. The officers of the Company have made available to such
Investor any and all written information that such Investor has
requested and have answered to such Investor's satisfaction all
inquiries made by such Investor. The Series A Investor has adequate net
worth and means of providing for its current needs and contingencies to
sustain a complete loss of its investment in the Company. The Series A
Investor's overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and such Investor's
investment in the Series A Preferred will not cause such overall
commitment to become excessive.
4.4 Accredited Investor. The Series A Investor is an
Accredited Investor within the definition set forth in Rule 501(a) of
the Securities Act.

with Section 2 hereof.

8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1, no such
registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a

the Series A Investor; (ii) a trust for the benefit of any such family
member; or (iii) a partnership whose sole partners are the Series A
Investor and/or any member of the family of the Series A Investor;
provided that in each case the transferee will be subject to the terms
of this Agreement and to the ancillary agreements described in Section
7 to the same extent as if he were the Series A Investor.
8.3 Each certificate representing the Series A Preferred shall
(unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Agreement) be
