ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
a. Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
Audited financial statements of Metro Courier Network, Inc.
("Metro").
Metro Courier Network, Inc. was acquired by the Company on July
2, 1998, and a Form 8-K reporting the transaction was filed on
July 16, 1998, without financial information. Upon review of
Metro's financial statements, the Company determined that Metro
was not a "significant subsidiary" as defined in Regulation S-X,
and that disclosure of its financial statements and pro forma
financial information therefore is not required under SEC rules.
Nonetheless, the Company is filing the financial statements it
received from Metro as additional information for investors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Metro Courier Network, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Metro Courier Network, Inc.
(a Massachusetts Corporation) ("the Company") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
Except as explained in the following paragraphs, we conducted our audits in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company has not maintained adequate accounting records supporting revenue
for the year ended December 31, 1996, and we were unable to apply procedures to
determine whether the opening balance of accounts receivable in the financial
statements as of December 31, 1996 was fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles or whether accounting principles have
been consistently applied between 1996 and 1997.
Since the Company did not maintain adequate accounting records supporting
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996, and we were unable to satisfy
ourselves about the opening balances of accounts receivable in the financial
statements as of December 31, 1996, or about the consistent application of
accounting principles between 1996 and 1997, the scope of our work was not
sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on the
results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, or on
the consistency of application of accounting principles for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
(Continued)
In our opinion, except for the effects on the 1996 financial statements of the
matter discussed in the fourth paragraph, the 1996 and 1997 balance sheets and
the 1997 statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows referred to
in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Metro Courier Network, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclosure of Non-Cash Transactions:
In 1997, the Company incurred a capital lease obligation of $18,450 related
to vehicle leasing.
The Company acquired businesses for $75,000 and $57,000 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively, through issuance of seller financed debt.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Note 1 - Organization and Business
Metro Courier Network, Inc. ("the Company") was founded in 1992. The
Company provides delivery services to a wide range of commercial,
industrial and retail customers in the New England area.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost, which approximates market value. The Company considers
checks outstanding in excess of cash in bank and deposits in transit to be
a cash overdraft.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Assets subject to capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the
terms of the leases or lives of the assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and customer lists. Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets
of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25
years. Customer lists are amortized over the estimated period to be
benefitted, generally from 3 to 5 years.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the shipment is completed, or when services are
rendered to customers and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the
Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporation income
taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their
proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no
provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included
in the financial statements.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles
for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The measurement of
impairment losses to be recognized is based on the difference between the
fair values and the carrying amounts of the assets. Impairment would be
recognized in operating results if a diminution in value occurred. The
Company does not believe that any such changes have occurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Due to the short maturities of the Company's cash, receivables and
payables, the carrying value of these financial instruments approximates
their fair values. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based
on the current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar remaining
maturities. The Company believes that the carrying value of its debt
estimates the fair value of such debt instruments.
Note 3 - Business Combinations
During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company acquired certain
businesses in transactions accounted for as purchases. The total consideration
paid in these transactions is contingent upon future activity and is estimated
to aggregate approximately $307,000.
Note 3 - Business Combinations - (Continued)
The entire amount of the consideration expected to be paid has been assigned to
the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired (goodwill)
and other intangible assets (customer lists). A liability has been established
to reflect the seller financed debt (see Note 9) which is contingent upon future
activity of the Company.
The operating results of the acquired businesses have been reflected in the
accompanying statements of income and retained earnings since their respective
acquisition dates.
Note 4 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Note 8 - Short Term Borrowings
In May 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the
"revolving line of credit agreement") with US Trust. The revolving line of
credit agreement, which matures May 31, 1998 and may be renewed for successive
one (1) year periods thereafter upon the mutual written agreement of US Trust
and the Company, provides for a borrowing capacity of up to $200,000, payable on
demand. Interest is payable monthly at a floating rate equal to the bank's base
lending rate plus 1.0% (9.5 % at December 31, 1997). The revolving line of
credit agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets,
including cash balances, accounts receivable, equipment, contract rights and
general intangibles of the Company. Additionally, the revolving line of credit
agreement is secured by the personal guarantee of the Company's president and a
limited recourse guarantee from a certain family trust executed by the Company's
president in his role as trustee.
At December 31, 1997, the outstanding borrowing on the revolving line of credit
agreement amounted to $200,000.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $20,900 against

and 1996, respectively.
Employment and Consulting Agreement
In February 1997, the Company entered into an employment and consulting
agreement with Ray Leonard (the "employee") calling for the employee to be
employed by the Company as an operations manager of distribution services
for a three (3) year term, commencing March 1, 1997 and ending February 29,
2000. Upon the expiration of such original term, the employee's employment
by the Company shall continue as a consultant for up to fifteen (15) hours
per month through March 1, 2007 (the "consulting period").
The employee is entitled to annual compensation for his services of one
hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars through the initial three (3) year term
of the agreement. Additionally, during the initial term of employment and
during the consulting period thereafter, the Company agrees to pay the
employee a commission of up to five (5%) percent of annual sales, based
upon achieving certain sales volume, derived exclusively from distribution
services of the Company (see Note 13).
Note 11 - Related Party Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company made a loan of $8,000 to a
shareholder. The loan, payable on demand, is non-interest bearing.
Note 12 - Concentrations
As stated in Note 1, the Company provides delivery services to a wide range of
commercial, industrial and retail customers in New England. The Company utilized
the services of NICA, a subcontractor, to provide drivers for a significant
portion of its deliveries. The Company paid NICA approximately $2,220,000 and
$1,025,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Note 13 - Subsequent Event
On May 27, 1998, the Company and Ray Leonard ("Leonard") entered into an
agreement ("termination agreement") to terminate the employment and consulting
agreement (see Note 10) of February 28, 1997 between Leonard and the Company.
The termination agreement requires the Company to pay Leonard the sum of three
hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars on or before July 31, 1998. Payment terms
are as follows: (i) fifteen thousand ($15,000) dollars upon execution of the
termination agreement; (ii) two thousand ($2,000) dollars per week until the
earlier of July 31, 1998 or the week the balance of the $300,000 due is
tendered; and (iii) the balance of the $300,000 on or before July 31, 1998.
Additionally, the termination agreement requires the Company to pay Leonard all
salary due through the week of May 8, 1998 and certain commissions earned
through May 1998.
Should the Company fail to pay $300,000 to Leonard by July 31, 1998, Leonard may
at his sole discretion either: (i) deem the termination agreement canceled and
the parties shall revert to the terms and provisions of the employment and
consulting agreement, provided that a breach of the termination agreement shall
be deemed a breach of the employment and consulting agreement; or (ii) the
Company shall pay Leonard twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars per month as
additional consideration until the balance of $300,000 is tendered in full.
The termination agreement obligation to Leonard is secured by a security
agreement granting Leonard a security interest in substantially all assets of
the Company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The
condensed balance sheet at December 31, 1997, has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1998, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any
other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 1998.
2. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
On May 27, 1998, the Company and Ray Leonard ("Leonard") entered into an
agreement ("termination agreement") to terminate the employment and
consulting agreement of February 28, 1997 between Leonard and the
Company.
The termination agreement required the Company to pay Leonard the sum of
three hundred thousand ($300,000) dollars on or before July 31, 1998.
Payment terms are as follows: (i) fifteen thousand ($15,000) dollars upon
execution of the termination agreement; (ii) two thousand ($2,000)
dollars per week until the earlier of July 31, 1998 or the week the
balance of the $300,000 due is tendered; and (iii) the balance of the
$300,000 on or before July 31, 1998. The $300,000 termination charge was
included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, with the related liability of approximately
$274,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of June 30, 1998.
Additionally, the termination agreement required the Company to pay
Leonard all salary due through the week of May 8, 1998 and certain
commissions earned through May 1998.
On July 2, 1998, the termination agreement was satisfied with the agreed
upon payment of $273,000.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMBINED
FINANCIAL DATA
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial
data of CDL and Metro have been prepared to present the effect of the
acquisition of the assets and cerain liabilities of Metro by CDL. The unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 was
prepared by combining the assets of Metro acquired by CDL as if the acquisition
had occurred on June 30, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
combined statement of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
and six months ended June 30, 1998 combines historical statements of operations
for CDL and Metro as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997.
The detailed assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated combined financial information are contained herein. The unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information reflects the use
of the purchase method of accounting for the acquisition. The purchase price
allocation used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information is
preliminary and subject to change based upon the final evaluation being
performed.
The following unaudited pro forma financial data may not be indicative of the
results of operations that would have actually occurred had the transaction been
in effect as of the beginning of the respective periods, nor do they purport to
indicate CDL's future results of operations. This information and accompanying
notes should be read in conjunction with CDL's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1997, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1998 and Metro's financial statements
included elsewhere in this report on Form 8-K/A.

(d) The holder of the $1.75 million 7% Subordinated Convertible Note Payable
(the "Note") has the right to convert the Note into fully paid shares of
CDL's common stock at any time after the acquisition of Metro by CDL
through July 1, 2001. The pro forma adjustments do not include an
adjustment for the conversion of the Note since the conversion price is
$7.00 per common share, which exceeds the average market price of CDL's
common stock for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is not
effected by the Note since the conversion of the Note into common stock
was antidilutive for the periods presented.
(e) The contingent earn out is comprised of two Contingent Subordinated
Convertible Notes due 2000 and 2001 (the "Contingent Notes"). For the pro
forma financial statements the Contingent Notes were deemed not to be
convertible since the earnings thresholds and fair market value per share
requirements were not met during the periods presented. The pro forma
diluted earnings per share was not effected by the Contingent Notes since
the necessary conditions for conversion were not satisfied by the end of
the periods presented.

ARTICLE THREE
FORGIVENESS/
CONVERSION PRIVILEGE/OBLIGATION
The Company hereby grants to the Holder of this First
Contingent Convertible Note the right to convert this Note into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock"), at the "Fair Market Value" per share, subject to the following
paragraphs.
On or before the date forty-five (45) days after the end of
the First Measurement Period (the "Testing Date"), CDL shall determine: (A) the
EBIT of the Division for the First Measurement Period, to be computed in
accordance with GAAP, except that EBIT shall be reduced by a corporate charge
equal to two (2%) of the gross revenues of the Division during the First
Measurement Period and (B) the First Period Synergy Savings. If (x) the sum of
the amounts in clauses (A) and (B) above (the "First Sum") does not exceed the
First Benchmark, or (ii) if the First Sum exceeds the First Benchmark but the
closing sales price of CDL's Common Stock as reported on the NMS on the date
thirty (30) days after the end of the First Measurement Period (the "First
Period Price"), is less than the Conversion Value and the Purchaser has made the
payment required by Section 2.3(c)(ii) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, then
this First Contingent Convertible Note shall be forgiven and the principal
amount automatically reduced by Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand ($375,000)
Dollars, from $375,000 to zero, and this Note shall be discharged in full and
canceled.
If the First Sum equals or exceeds the First Benchmark after
the First Measurement Period, and if the First Period Price equals or exceeds
the Conversion Value, then this Note shall be due and payable and the Holder
shall have the right to convert the Note.
The right to convert may be exercised by the Holder at any
time after the Testing Date up to and including, September 1, 2000, except as
provided herein. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may
be converted shall be determined by taking (a) the full principal amount of this
Note, namely $375,000, and dividing said sum by (b) the Fair Market Value. The
right to convert may only be exercised with respect to the entire amount due on
the Note at the exercise date.
The Company also shall have the right to convert this Note
into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at any time after the
Testing Date at Fair Market Value per share, in accordance with the formula
provided above, but only if a registration statement required under Article Five
is then effective. The Company also may only convert with respect to the entire
amount set forth above.
"Fair Market Value" with respect to the CDL Common Stock means
the closing price of such Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market
System ("NMS") on the day on which notice of conversion is given by the Holder
or CDL, as the case may be, or the closing price on the next trading day if the
date of notice is not a trading date on NMS.
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE FOUR
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that it
understands that the Company will rely upon the representations set forth herein
in issuing the Note and the Underlying Shares, if any, without registration
under the Act, the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, or any other state
securities law.
Accordingly, the Holder, by acceptance of the Note, represents
and warrants that this offering is being made pursuant to the exemption from
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") afforded by
Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) of the Act relating to transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering. The Holder understands that the Company has no
present intention, and is under no obligation to, register the Note or the
Underlying Shares under the Act, or any applicable state law, except as set
forth in Article Five hereof.
The Holder understands that due to lack of registration, the
Note and the Underlying Shares will be restricted securities, that the holder
must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period, that the
Note and the Underlying Shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of
unless they are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities
law, or an exemption from such laws is available and the Company is supplied
with an opinion of counsel to the Holder, satisfactory to the Company, that
registration is not required under any of such laws, and in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such sale, transfer, or pledge will not cause the
Company to fail to be in compliance with the exemption provisions under which
the Note or the Underlying Shares were issued.
The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business affairs that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment.
The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of this
investment. An investment in the Note and the Underlying Shares is suitable for
the Holder in light of its financial position and investment objectives, with
full knowledge that this investment could result in a complete loss. The Holder
recognizes that the Note represents a HIGH-RISK, SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT and that
there is no assurance that any return will be received thereon. The Holder can
afford a total loss of this investment.
The Note is being, and the Underlying Shares will be,
purchased for the Holder's own account for investment purposes and not with a
view to the resale or distribution thereof by the Holder.
Prior to the date hereof, the Holder has had ample opportunity
to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and directors of the
Company, concerning the Company, the Note, and the Company's business and to
obtain any additional information which was considered necessary to verify the
information supplied by those individuals.
The Holder understands that a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form shall be placed on the certificate(s)
representing the Underlying Shares:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act"). Such shares have been acquired for investment and may
not be publicly offered or sold in the absence of (1) an
effective registration statement for such shares under the
Act; (2) opinions of counsel to the Company and to the holder
hereof and presented to the Company prior to any proposed
transfer to the effect that registration is not required under
the Act; or (3) a letter presented to the Company, prior to
any proposed transfer, from the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to the effect that it will not take any
enforcement action if the proposed transfer is made without
registration under the Act."
Except as set forth in the documents which the Holder has
reviewed, no representations or warranties have been made to the Holder by the
Company. In entering into this transaction, the Holder is not relying upon any
information, other than the results of its own independent investigation.
ARTICLE FIVE
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") under the

hereof; and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective as soon as possible thereafter. The Company shall not be obligated to
cause to become effective more than one registration statement with respect to
the Underlying Shares.
At any time and from time to time, the Holder agrees without
further consideration, to take such actions and to execute and deliver such
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Company in order to effectuate
the purposes of this Article Five including, without limitation, supplying
information with respect to the Holder that may be necessary or required for
inclusion in the registration statement. In the event that such information or
other material requested by the Company is not provided to the Company within a
reasonable period of time following delivery of written notice requesting such
information, then the Company's obligations under this Article Five shall be
suspended as to such Holder.
The Company will pay all expenses incurred in complying with
Article Five hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing
fees (including all expenses incident to filing with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.), reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Company, securities law and blue sky fees and expenses (except where such
payment is prohibited by law or applicable regulation). All underwriting
discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sales of the Underlying
Shares and any state or federal transfer taxes payable with respect to the sales
of the Underlying Shares and all fees and disbursements of counsel for the

such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings
for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of
the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy, and in the event of any execution sale, then the
holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in

ARTICLE THREE
FORGIVENESS/
CONVERSION PRIVILEGE/OBLIGATION
The Company hereby grants to the Holder of this Second
Contingent Convertible Note the right to convert this Note into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Common Stock"), at the "Fair Market Value" per share, subject to the following
paragraphs.
On or before the date forty-five (45) days after the end of
the Second Measurement Period (the "Testing Date"), CDL shall determine: (A) the
EBIT of the Division for the Second Measurement Period, to be computed in
accordance with GAAP, except that EBIT shall be reduced by a corporate charge
equal to two (2%) of the gross revenues of the Division during the Second
Measurement Period and (B) the Second Period Synergy Savings. If (x) the sum of
the amounts in clauses (A) and (B) above (the "Second Sum") does not exceed the
Second Benchmark, or (ii) if the Second Sum exceeds the Second Benchmark but the
closing sales price of CDL's Common Stock as reported on the NMS on the date
thirty (30) days after the end of the Second Measurement Period (the "Second
Period Price"), is less than the Conversion Value and the Purchaser has made the
payment required by Section 2.3(c)(ii) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, then
this Second Contingent Convertible Note shall be forgiven and the principal
amount automatically reduced by Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand ($375,000)
Dollars, from $375,000 to zero, and this Note shall be discharged in full and
canceled.
If the Second Sum equals or exceeds the Second Benchmark after
the Second Measurement Period, and if the Second Period Price equals or exceeds
the Conversion Value, then this Note shall be due and payable and the Holder
shall have the right to convert the Note.
The right to convert may be exercised by the Holder at any
time after the Testing Date up to and including, September 1, 2001, except as
provided herein. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may
be converted shall be determined by taking (a) the full principal amount of this
Note, namely $375,000, and dividing said sum by (b) the Fair Market Value. The
right to convert may only be exercised with respect to the entire amount due on
the Note at the exercise date.
The Company also shall have the right to convert this Note
into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at any time after the
Testing Date at Fair Market Value per share, in accordance with the formula
provided above, but only if a registration statement required under Article Five
is then effective. The Company also may only convert with respect to the entire
amount set forth above.
"Fair Market Value" with respect to the CDL Common Stock means
the closing price of such Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market
System ("NMS") on the day on which notice of conversion is given by the Holder
or CDL, as the case may be, or the closing price on the next trading day if the
date of notice is not a trading date on NMS.
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
3.01 Whole Shares. Upon conversion, only whole shares
shall be issued. Any remainder due hereunder which is insufficient to
purchase a whole share of Common Stock shall be paid by the Company in cash.
3.02 Exercise Procedure.
(a) The Conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been
exercised (the "Exercise Time") when either (x) the Company shall have received
from the Holder all of the following:
(i) a properly completed Exercise
Agreement in form annexed hereto executed by the person
exercising such conversion privilege; and
(ii) this Note; and

writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall immediately deliver this
Note to the Company. Exercise of the Company's conversion privilege shall be

Note to the Company.
(b) Certificates for the underlying shares acquired shall be
delivered to the Holder within 20 days after the Exercise Time (or the date of
delivery of the Note to the Company, if later).
3.03 Exercise Agreement. The Exercise Agreement shall be in
the form set forth at the end of this Note. If the Conversion Shares are not to
be issued in the name of the persons to whom the Note is registered, such
Agreement shall also state the name of the persons to whom the certificates for
the Conversion Shares are to be issued. Such Exercise Agreement shall be dated
the actual date of execution thereof.
3.04 Assignment. The Assignment shall be in the form set forth
at the end of this Note and shall provide that the person executing the same
thereby sells, assigns and transfers to the person(s) named therein the rights

regulation. The Company will not take any action which would result in any
adjustment of the Conversion Price if the total number of Common Shares issuable
after such action upon exercise of the conversion privilege in full, together
with all Common Shares then outstanding and all Common Shares then issuable upon
the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights,
would exceed the total number of Common Shares then authorized by the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation.
(d) The issuance of certificates for the Underlying Shares
upon exercise of the conversion privilege shall be made without charge to the
registered Holder(s) thereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other
costs incurred by the Company in connection with the exercise and the related
issuance of the underlying shares.
ARTICLE FOUR
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
The Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that it
understands that the Company will rely upon the representations set forth herein
in issuing the Note and the Underlying Shares, if any, without registration
under the Act, the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, or any other state
securities law.
Accordingly, the Holder, by acceptance of the Note, represents
and warrants that this offering is being made pursuant to the exemption from
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") afforded by
Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) of the Act relating to transactions by an issuer not
involving any public offering. The Holder understands that the Company has no
present intention, and is under no obligation to, register the Note or the
Underlying Shares under the Act, or any applicable state law, except as set
forth in Article Five hereof.
The Holder understands that due to lack of registration, the
Note and the Underlying Shares will be restricted securities, that the holder
must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period, that the
Note and the Underlying Shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of
unless they are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities
law, or an exemption from such laws is available and the Company is supplied
with an opinion of counsel to the Holder, satisfactory to the Company, that
registration is not required under any of such laws, and in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such sale, transfer, or pledge will not cause the
Company to fail to be in compliance with the exemption provisions under which
the Note or the Underlying Shares were issued.
The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business affairs that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment.
The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of this
investment. An investment in the Note and the Underlying Shares is suitable for
the Holder in light of its financial position and investment objectives, with
full knowledge that this investment could result in a complete loss. The Holder
recognizes that the Note represents a HIGH-RISK, SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT and that
there is no assurance that any return will be received thereon. The Holder can
afford a total loss of this investment.
The Note is being, and the Underlying Shares will be,
purchased for the Holder's own account for investment purposes and not with a
view to the resale or distribution thereof by the Holder.
Prior to the date hereof, the Holder has had ample opportunity
to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers and directors of the
Company, concerning the Company, the Note, and the Company's business and to
obtain any additional information which was considered necessary to verify the
information supplied by those individuals.
The Holder understands that a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form shall be placed on the certificate(s)
representing the Underlying Shares:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act"). Such shares have been acquired for investment and may
not be publicly offered or sold in the absence of (1) an
effective registration statement for such shares under the
Act; (2) opinions of counsel to the Company and to the holder
hereof and presented to the Company prior to any proposed
transfer to the effect that registration is not required under
the Act; or (3) a letter presented to the Company, prior to
any proposed transfer, from the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, to the effect that it will not take any
enforcement action if the proposed transfer is made without
registration under the Act."
