     2.   BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

     Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

 

          (a)   Investment   Purpose.   Each   Buyer is   acquiring   the   Convertible

     Debentures and, upon conversion of Convertible   Debentures,   the Buyer will

     acquire   the   Conversion   Shares   then   issuable,   for its own   account for

     investment   only and not with a view   towards,   or for resale in connection

     with, the public sale or   distribution   thereof,   except   pursuant to sales

     registered   or   exempted   under the 1933 Act;   provided,   however,   that by

     making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose

     of the Conversion   Shares at any time in accordance   with or pursuant to an

     effective   registration   statement   covering such   Conversion   Shares or an

     available exemption under the 1933 Act.

 

          (b) Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an "Accredited Investor"

     as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

 

          (c)   Reliance   on   Exemptions.    Each   Buyer    understands    that   the

      Convertible   Debentures   are being   offered   and sold to it in   reliance on

     specific   exemptions   from the   registration   requirements of United States

     federal and state   securities   laws and that the Company is relying in part

     upon the truth and   accuracy   of, and such   Buyer's   compliance   with,   the

     representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings

     of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine   the   availability   of

     such   exemptions   and   the   eligibility   of   such   Buyer   to   acquire   such

     securities.

 

          (d)   Information.   Each   Buyer   and its   advisors   (and   his   or,   its

     counsel),   if any, have been furnished   with all materials   relating to the

     business,   finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed

     material to making an informed   investment   decision regarding his purchase

     of the Convertible   Debentures and the Conversion   Shares,   which have been

     requested by such Buyer.   Each Buyer and its   advisors,   if any,   have been

     afforded   the    opportunity   to   ask   questions   of   the   Company   and   its

     management.    Neither    such    inquiries    nor   any   other   due    diligence

     investigations   conducted   by such Buyer or its   advisors,   if any,   or its

     representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to rely on

     the Company's   representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.

     Each Buyer   understands   that its investment in the Convertible   Debentures

     and the Conversion   Shares involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in

     a position   regarding the Company,   which,   based upon economic   bargaining

 

 

                                       3

<PAGE>

 

     power,   enabled   and   enables   such   Buyer to obtain   information   from the

     Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.   Each

     Buyer   has   sought   such   accounting,   legal   and   tax   advice,   as it   has

     considered   necessary to make an informed   investment decision with respect

     to its acquisition of the Convertible Debentures and the Conversion Shares.

 

          (e) No   Governmental   Review.   Each Buyer   understands   that no United

     States   federal or state   agency or any other   government   or   governmental

     agency   has   passed on or made any   recommendation   or   endorsement   of the

     Convertible   Debentures   or   the   Conversion   Shares,   or the   fairness   or

     suitability   of   the   investment   in   the   Convertible   Debentures   or   the

     Conversion   Shares,   nor have such authorities   passed upon or endorsed the

     merits of the   offering of the   Convertible   Debentures   or the   Conversion

     Shares.

 

          (f) Transfer or Resale. Each Buyer understands that except as provided

     in   the   Investor   Registration   Rights   Agreement:    (i)   the   Convertible

     Debentures have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or

     any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold,   assigned

     or transferred unless (A) subsequently   registered thereunder,   or (B) such

     Buyer   shall have   delivered   to the   Company an opinion of   counsel,   in a

     generally   acceptable   form, to the effect that such securities to be sold,

     assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an

     exemption   from   such   registration   requirements;   (ii)   any   sale of such

     securities   made in reliance on Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (or a successor

     rule thereto) ("Rule 144") may be made only in accordance with the terms of

     Rule 144 and   further,   if Rule 144 is not   applicable,   any resale of such

     securities   under   circumstances in which the seller (or the person through

     whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter   (as that term is

     defined in the 1933 Act) may require   compliance   with some other exemption

     under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;   and

     (iii)   neither the Company nor any other person is under any   obligation to

     register such securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or

     to comply with the terms and   conditions of any exemption   thereunder.   The

     Company reserves the right to place stop transfer   instructions against the

     shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares.

 

          (g) Legends.   Each Buyer   understands   that the   certificates or other

     instruments   representing the Convertible   Debentures and or the Conversion

     Shares shall bear a restrictive   legend in substantially the following form

     (and a stop   transfer   order may be placed   against   transfer of such stock

     certificates):

 

               THE   SECURITIES   REPRESENTED   BY THIS   CERTIFICATE   HAVE NOT BEEN

                REGISTERED   UNDER THE   SECURITIES   ACT OF 1933,   AS   AMENDED,   OR

               APPLICABLE   STATE   SECURITIES   LAWS.   THE   SECURITIES   HAVE   BEEN

               ACQUIRED   SOLELY   FOR   INVESTMENT   PURPOSES   AND NOT   WITH A VIEW

               TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,   TRANSFERRED

               OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

               FOR THE SECURITIES   UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,

               OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN

               A GENERALLY   ACCEPTABLE   FORM, THAT   REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED

               UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

 

                                       4

     The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company   within two (2)

     business days shall issue a   certificate   without such legend to the holder

     of the   Conversion   Shares upon which it is stamped,   if, unless   otherwise

     required   by   state    securities   laws,   (i)   in   connection   with   a   sale

     transaction,   provided the Conversion   Shares are registered under the 1933

     Act or   (ii) in   connection   with a sale   transaction,   after   such   holder

     provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,   which opinion shall be in

     form,   substance and scope   customary for opinions of counsel in comparable

     transactions,   to the effect that a public sale,   assignment or transfer of

     the Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act.

 

          (h)   Authorization,   Enforcement.   This   Agreement   has been   duly and

     validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a

     valid and binding   agreement of such Buyer   enforceable in accordance   with

     its   terms,   except   as   such   enforceability   may be   limited   by   general

     principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,   reorganization,

     moratorium,   liquidation   and other   similar laws relating to, or affecting

     generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.

 

          (i)   Receipt   of   Documents.   Each   Buyer and his or its   counsel   has

     received   and   read   in   their   entirety:    (i)   this   Agreement   and   each

     representation,   warranty   and   covenant   set forth   herein,   the   Security

     Agreement,    the   Investor    Registration   Rights   Agreement,    the   Escrow

     Agreement,   and the Irrevocable   transfer Agent Instructions;   (ii) all due

     diligence   and other   information   necessary   to verify   the   accuracy   and

     answers to all questions each Buyer   submitted to the Company   regarding an

     investment   in the   Company;   and each Buyer has relied on the   information

     contained    therein   and   has   not   been   furnished   any   other   documents,

     literature, memorandum or prospectus.

 

          (j) Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers.   If the Buyer(s) is a

     corporation,   trust,   partnership or other entity that is not an individual

     person,   it has been formed and validly   exists and has not been   organized

     for the specific   purpose of purchasing the   Convertible   Debentures and is

     not prohibited from doing so.

 

          (k) No Legal Advice From the Company. Each Buyer acknowledges, that it

     had   the   opportunity   to   review   this   Agreement   and   the    transactions

     contemplated   by this   Agreement   with   his or its own   legal   counsel   and

     investment   and tax advisors.   Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel

     and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or

     any of its   representatives   or agents for legal, tax or investment   advice

     with respect to this   investment,   the   transactions   contemplated   by this

     Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

corporations 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 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 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 on the Company and its

subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

     (b) Authorization,   Enforcement, Compliance with Other Instruments. (i) The

Company   has the   requisite   corporate   power and   authority   to enter   into and

perform this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Investor Registration Rights

Agreement,   the Escrow Agreement,   the Irrevocable   Transfer Agent Instructions,

and any related   agreements,   and to issue the   Convertible   Debentures   and the

Conversion   Shares in   accordance   with the terms hereof and   thereof,   (ii) the

execution and delivery of this Agreement,   the Security Agreement,   the Investor

Registration Rights Agreement,   the Escrow Agreement,   the Irrevocable   Transfer

Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise   thereof,   have been duly

authorized   by the   Company's   Board of   Directors   and no   further   consent   or

authorization   is   required   by the   Company,   its   Board   of   Directors   or its

stockholders,   (iii)   this   Agreement,   the   Security   Agreement,   the   Investor

principles   of   equity or   applicable   bankruptcy,   insolvency,   reorganization,

moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the

enforcement of creditors'   rights and remedies.   The   authorized   officer of the

Company   executing   this   Agreement,    the   Security   Agreement,    the   Investor

Registration Rights Agreement,   the Escrow Agreement,   the Irrevocable   Transfer

Agent Instructions and any related agreements knows of no reason why the Company

cannot   file   the    registration    statement   as   required   under   the   Investor

Registration   Rights Agreement or perform any of the Company's other obligations

under such documents.

 

     (c) Capitalization.   As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of
