           Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions delivered to the
Purchaser concurrently herewith, the Company hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof to, and covenants with, the Purchaser as follows:

           5.1 ORGANIZATION AND GOOD STANDING. The Company has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware, has full corporate power and authority to own or
lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the SEC Documents
(as defined in Section 5.5 below), and is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of
the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it
makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would
not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

           5.2 CORPORATE POWER; AUTHORIZATION. The Company has all requisite
corporate power, and has taken all requisite corporate action, to execute and
deliver this Agreement, sell and issue the Securities and carry out and perform
all of its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by equitable
principles generally, including any specific performance, and (iii) to the
extent that the enforceability of those



                                       2
<PAGE>

provisions of Section 10.7 relating to indemnity or contribution may be limited
by applicable laws.

           5.3 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The execution, delivery and
performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the issuance, sale and
delivery of the Securities by the Company will not result in a material breach
or violation of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (a) the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (b) any statute, law, rule or regulation
(including without limitation, the rules and regulations applicable to the
Nasdaq Stock Market and applicable securities laws) applicable to the Company,
(c) any state or federal order, judgment or decree applicable to the Company or
(d) any indenture, mortgage, lease or other material agreement or instrument to
which the Company or any of its properties is subject, where such breach or
violation would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The execution,
delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the issuance,
sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company will not require the approval
of its stockholders, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon
any of the properties or assets of the Company.

           5.4 VALID ISSUANCE. The Securities, when issued and paid for in
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive
right that has not been effectively waived.

           5.5 SEC DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has filed in a
timely manner all documents that the Company was required to file with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under Sections 13,
14(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"EXCHANGE ACT"), during the twelve (12) months preceding the Effective Date. As
of their respective filing dates (or, if amended, when amended), all documents
filed by the Company with the SEC (the "SEC DOCUMENTS") complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act. None of the SEC Documents as
of their respective dates contained any untrue statement of material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required (under the federal securities laws in
connection with the sale of the Securities) to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in
the SEC Documents (the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS") comply as to form and substance
in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. The Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied and fairly present the financial position of the
Company at the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to
normal, recurring adjustments).

           5.6 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Company owns or possesses adequate
rights to use all material patents, patent rights, inventions, trade secrets and
know-how that are necessary for the conduct of its business as presently
conducted and as described in the SEC Documents. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents, the Company has not received any written notice of, nor has any
knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others
with respect to any patent, patent right, invention, trade secret or know-how
that, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding,


                                       3
<PAGE>

would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial
condition or results or operations of the Company.

           5.7 CAPITALIZATION. The capitalization of the Company is as described
in the Company's SEC Documents. The Company has not issued any capital stock
since June 30, 2002 other than pursuant to employee benefit plans disclosed in
the Company's SEC Documents. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable
and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights not effectively
waived. Except as set forth in or contemplated by the Company's SEC Documents or
as otherwise described in this Agreement, there are no outstanding rights
(including, without limitation, preemptive rights), warrants or options to
acquire, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, any unissued
shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company, or any
contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of any kind to
which the Company is a party and relating to the issuance or sale of any capital
stock of the Company, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any
such rights, warrants or options.

           5.8 LITIGATION. There is no pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened, action, suit or other proceeding to which the Company is a party or
to which its property or assets are subject that is not disclosed in the SEC
Documents that is required to be so disclosed.

           5.9 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any federal, state, or local governmental authority on the part of
the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement except for compliance with the securities and
blue sky laws in the states and other jurisdictions in which Securities are
offered and/or sold, which compliance will be effected in accordance with such
laws.

           5.10 NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. Except as otherwise disclosed
herein, since June 30, 2002, there have not been any changes in the assets,
liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company from that
reflected in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002 except
changes in the ordinary course of business or which have not been, either
individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse.

           5.11 SECURITIES VIOLATIONS. The Company represents and warrants that
none of its directors or officers is or has within the last five years, been the
subject of, or a defendant in: (i) an enforcement action or prosecution (or
settlement in lieu thereof) brought by a governmental authority relating to a
violation of securities, tax, fiduciary or criminal laws, or (ii) a civil action
(or settlement in lieu thereof) brought by shareholders or investors in a common
investment vehicle for violation of duties owed to the shareholders or
investors.

           5.12 NASDAQ. The Company's Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq
National Market and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain such listing.

           5.13 OFFERING VALID. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser contained in Section 5.1 hereof, the offer and
issuance of the



                                        4
<PAGE>

Securities 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 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 Securities to any person or persons so as to bring the
sale of such Securities by the Company within the registration provisions of the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.

               (c) The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell,

materials on the Purchaser's behalf. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax
and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or

<PAGE>

                      (i) There is then in effect a registration statement under
the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or

                      (ii) (A) Except in connection with a sale exempt from

the terms of this Agreement, and (B) if reasonably requested by the Company, the

        EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER
        SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF
        COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS
        NOT REQUIRED."

certificates at the request of the Purchaser if the Purchaser shall have
obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Company)
reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed

securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such
securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the
appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.

<PAGE>

                  (c) The registration rights granted under Section 10.3 of this
Agreement shall not be transferable except in connection with transfers
permitted under Section 10.2(a)(iii).

           10.3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. The Company is obligated to do the
following:

                  (a) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
prepare and file with the SEC, no later than thirty (30) days following the
Closing Date, one or more registration statements in order to register with the
SEC the resale by the Holders, from time to time, of the Securities through
Nasdaq or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is then traded, or in privately negotiated transactions (a "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT"). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to be declared effective within one hundred fifty (150)
days following the Closing Date. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders
of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

                  (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC (i) such
amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used
in connection therewith, (ii) such SEC Documents and (iii) such other filings
required by the SEC, in each case as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement continuously effective and not misleading until all of the Securities
held by the Holders that are registered under such Registration Statement have
been resold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time following the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Company shall have determined
that the Company may be required to disclose any material corporate development,
the Company may suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement until such
time as an amendment to such Registration Statement has been filed by the
Company and declared effective by the SEC or until such time as the Company has
filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, which
suspension shall endure for such period as deemed necessary by the Company upon
advice of counsel (a "SUSPENSION PERIOD"), by giving notice to the Holders. The
Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the length of any
Suspension Period to a reasonable period of time (anticipated to be no more then
ninety (90) days except to the extent a longer period is required due to
extenuating circumstances), and further, the Company will use reasonable efforts
to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to
include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and end the
Suspension Period. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company of a Suspension Period, the Holder will not sell any Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement until (i) the Holder is advised in writing by the
Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, (ii) the
Holder has received copies of any additional or supplemental or amended
prospectus, if applicable, and (iii) the Holder has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

                  (c) In order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of all or any of the Securities by the Holders, the Company shall
furnish to the Holders with respect to the Securities registered under a
Registration Statement such number of copies of prospectuses,



                                       9
<PAGE>


prospectus supplements and preliminary prospectuses as the Holders reasonably
request in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act.

                  (d) The Company shall file any documents required of the
Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the
Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to
do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is
not now so qualified or has not so consented.

                  (e) The Company shall furnish to the Holders copies of
reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including
exhibits), and any such holder shall have the opportunity to object to any
information pertaining solely to such Holder that is contained therein and the
Company will make the corrections reasonably requested by such holder with
respect to such information prior to filing any such registration statement or
amendment.

                  (f) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder and the
underwriter or underwriters, if any:

                      (i)  when such registration statement or any prospectus
                           used in connection therewith, or any amendment or
                           supplement thereto, has been filed and, with respect
                           to such registration statement or any post-effective
                           amendment thereto, when the same has become
                           effective;

                      (ii) of any written comments from the Commission with
                           respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) or of
                           any written request by the Commission for amendments
                           or supplements to such registration statement or
                           prospectus.


                  (g) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all
Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or
approved by such other United States governmental agencies or authorities as may
be necessary to enable each holder thereof to consummate the disposition of such
Securities.

                  (h) In connection with any underwritten public offering of the
Securities, the Company shall furnish to each Holder a signed counterpart,
addressed to such holder (and the underwriters),



                                       10
<PAGE>

                      (i)  an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the
                           effective date of the underwriting agreement,
                           reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such
                           holder, and

                      (ii) a "comfort" letter, dated the effective date of such
                           registration statement (and a bring-down comfort
                           letter) dated the date of any closing under the
                           underwriting agreement), signed by the independent
                           public accountants who have certified the Company's
                           financial statements included in such registration
                           statement,

        in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to
        such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and,
        in the case of the accountants' letter, with respect to events
        subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily
        covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters
        delivered to the underwriters in underwritten Public Offerings of
        securities and, in the case of the accountants' letter, such other
        financial matters, as such holder (or the underwriters) may reasonably
        request.

           (i) The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Securities covered by such registration statement not later than the effective
date of such registration statement.


           10.4 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided
herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration
under Section 10.3 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses
incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the
Holders.

           10.5 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All registration rights
granted to the Holders under this Section 10 shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect upon the date that all Registrable Securities held by
the Holders may be sold under Rule 144(k) during any ninety (90) day period.

           10.6 FURNISHING INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 10.3 that each
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Securities held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of such
securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Securities.

As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, the Company shall Deliver a
questionnaire (a "Questionnaire") to each Holder requesting, among other things,
the following information regarding the Holder: (i) legal name, address,
telephone and fax number, (ii) beneficial ownership of the Securities to be
registered and other securities of the Company held by Holder, (iii)
relationships with the Company, and (iv) intended plan of distribution of the
Securities to be registered. If a properly completed and signed Questionnaire is
received by the Company not later than 10 business days after receipt thereof by
the Holder, the Holder delivering such questionnaire shall be entitled to have
its Securities included in the Registration Statement.

           10.7 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under Section 10.3:

                  (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless the Holders, the partners, officers, directors and legal
counsel of the Holders, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for
the Holders and each person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, expenses (including attorney fees) or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"VIOLATION") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering
covered by such Registration Statement; and the Company will reimburse the
Holders and each such partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
10.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Holders or any
such partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of the
Holders.

                  (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Holders will, if
Securities held by the Holders are included in the securities as to which such
registration, qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and legal counsel and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under
such Registration Statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or
officers or any person who controls the Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages, expenses (including attorney fees), or liabilities (several) to which
the Company or any such director, officer, counsel, controlling person,
underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling
person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that
such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by the Holders under an instrument duly executed by the
Holders and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such
registration; and the Holders will



                                       12
<PAGE>

reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any
such director, officer, counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other
Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a
Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 10.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section
10.7(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Holder.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 10.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10.7, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 10.7, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
10.7.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.7
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by the
Purchaser hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the
Holders.

                  (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this
Section 10.7 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities
in a Registration Statement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except



                                       13
<PAGE>

with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

        11. MISCELLANEOUS.
