          3.1    Authorization. The Investor has full power and authority to
                 -------------
enter into this Agreement, the Investors' Rights Agreement and the Co-Sale
Agreement, and each such agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          3.2    Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
                 ---------------------------------
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Series C Preferred Stock to be received by such Investor and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not

represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Series C Preferred Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial
condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the
representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or
the right of each Investor to rely thereon.

          3.4    Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in
                 ---------------------
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series C
Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it
has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series C Preferred
Stock.

          3.5    Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
                 -------------------
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of

                 ---------------------
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such

                                       8.


securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is
familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

          3.7    Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
                 ----------------------------------
the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make
any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3 and the Investors' Rights Agreement provided and to the extent
this Section 3 and such agreement are then applicable; and:

          (a)    There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such Registration Statement; or

          (b)    (i)   Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It
is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

          (c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a
transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership
or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or
to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift,
will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the
siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse,
if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the
same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.

          3.8   Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
                -------
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

          (a)    "These securities have not been registered under the Securities

to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144 of such Act."
