(ii) Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, the Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business for the year 2000 as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including the Company's year 2000 capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof. (iii) The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid.

Such Investor understands that the Debentures and Warrants are being or will be, as the case may be, offered and sold and that the Common Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, will be issued, in reliance on a transactional exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Investor set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Investor to acquire the Debentures and Warrants. (e) Brokers. Except with respect to Schedule 2.1(v), such Investor has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's 12 13 fees or similar payments by the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange. (b) The Warrants will be exchangeable at the option of the Investor (or then holder of the Warrants) at the office of the Company for other Warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares and/or Common Shares, as the case may be, as are purchasable under such Warrants.

At Closing, the Company shall pay the amount estimated to be due for such fees and expenses (which may include fees and expenses estimated to be incurred for completion of the transaction including post-closing matters). In the event such amount is ultimately less than the actual fees and expenses, the Company shall promptly pay such deficiency upon receipt of an invoice regarding same. In the event such amount is ultimately greater than the actual fees and expenses, such excess shall promptly be returned to the Company. Section 3.5 Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the SEC, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Debenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Debentures hereunder, the Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and Common Shares, as the case may be, issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Section 3.6 Dividends or Distributions; Purchases of Equity Securities. (A) Except as provided in this Section 3.6 to the contrary, for so long as any Debentures or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (a) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder or holders of Common Stock (other than dividends payable in Common Stock) in their capacity as shareholders, or (b) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or other equity security of the Company; provided that the Company may purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (x) so long as the Company (i) purchases or acquires such shares on the open 14 15 market or pursuant to a tender offer directed to all of the Company's shareholders other than during a Reset Pricing Period, and (ii) does not utilize the proceeds of the issuances of the Debentures for such purpose, (y) that are hereafter issued to employees pursuant to employment, stock repurchase or other similar agreements or (z) that are thereby being redeemed pursuant to that certain Put Option Agreement between the Company and the former shareholders of CRL Network Services, Inc. dated as of January 5, 2000 (the "Put Option Agreement") and referred to on Schedule 3.6, with a redemption price not to exceed $5,000,000 in any 12-month period and not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, provided that at the time of redemption no event or occurrence or state of facts exists that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Debentures, and the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the redemption is to be effective on or before July 11, 2002, and as of the date immediately preceding such redemption (A) the sum of (1) the Company's total unrestricted cash, and cash equivalents (as defined in the Company's financial statements) and restricted cash or cash equivalents which is restricted solely due to serving as security or collateral for the Company's Short Term Debt and (2) fair value of the Company's "Permitted Interim Investments" (as defined below) less (B) the sum of (3) the Company's Short Term Debt (as defined below) and (4) the Company's proposed payment under the Put Option Agreement, is greater than 300% of the absolute value of the Company's EBITDA (as defined below) for the previous fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been publicly filed (provided such fiscal quarter ended not more than 105 days prior to the date of notice described in the following sentence), or (ii) the redemption is to be effected after July 11, 2002. The Company shall notify each Investor in writing not less than 10 Trading Days nor more than 20 Trading Days prior to any proposed redemption pursuant to clause (z)(i) above, which notice shall state the total redemption price to be paid by the Company in connection therewith, and shall provide each Investor with a certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Investors, signed by each of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer certifying that the planned redemption comports with clause (z) (i) above and containing computations in reasonable detail demonstrating same. Any payments by the Company under the Put Option Agreement or any related agreement in direct or indirect contravention of clause (z) above shall constitute an "Event of Default" under the Debentures. (B) As set forth above, "Permitted Interim Investments" shall be limited to corporate debt obligations with fixed maturities of less than one year having an investment grade rating from either Moody's Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor's. (C) As set forth above, "Short Term Debt" shall mean any indebtedness or monetary obligation or capital lease obligation which (a) has a maturity within twelve months of the date of determination, or (b) provides the holder thereof with a right to accelerate the Company's obligation to repay the indebtedness, monetary obligation or capital lease obligation or redeem such indebtedness or monetary obligation, in whole or in part, within twelve months of the date of determination, based upon facts which exist on the date of the determination as to whether such indebtedness, monetary obligation or capital lease is "Short Term Debt".

The Company agrees to provide all holders of Debentures and Warrants with copies of all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to the holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or information to such Common Stock holders. Section 3.8 Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees that the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Debentures hereunder shall be used for working capital purposes. Section 3.9 Notification of Additional Financings; Adjustments. The Company agrees that until the three (3) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Investors shall have a right of first refusal with respect to all non-public capital raising transactions as set forth in this Section 3.9. The Company shall give advance written notice to the Investors prior to any offer or sale of any of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities in a non-public capital raising transaction ("FINANCING TRANSACTION"). The Investors shall have ten (10) Trading Days from receipt of such notice to deliver a written notice to the Company that one or more of such Investors elects to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to the entire issuance. If, subsequent to the Company giving notice to the Investors hereunder, the terms and conditions of the proposed Financing Transaction are changed in any way, the Company shall be required to provide a new notice to the Investors hereunder and the Investors shall have the right of refusal again to purchase all of the securities in the offering on such changed terms and conditions as provided hereunder. In such event, if such other Financing Transaction provides for non-cash consideration, in whole or in part, from such other potential investor(s), the Investors shall still have the right to participate in the Financing Transaction as provided herein, provided that cash or cash equivalents may be substituted by the Investors for such non-cash consideration. This right of first refusal shall continue even if the Investors elect not to participate in one or more Financing Transactions. Section 3.10 Reservation of Stock Issuable. (a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Debentures and the full exercise of the Warrants and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all the then outstanding Debentures and the full exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including without limitation engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 16 17 (b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, to the extent that any Debenture may still be converted or any Warrant may still be exercised, the Company agrees to reserve and at all times keep available solely for purposes of conversion of Debentures and the exercise of the Warrants, free from preemptive rights or any other present or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of the Debentures and Warrants, such number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that is at least equal, in the aggregate, to the sum of (i) 18,000,000, which number shall be appropriately adjusted for adjustments under Sections 8 of the Debenture and (ii) 200% of the aggregate shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants (whether or not such Warrants have been issued), which number shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Common Stock. If the Company falls below the reserves specified in the immediately preceding sentences and does not cure such non-compliance within 30 days, then (subject to paragraph (d) below) the Investors will be entitled to the default payments specified in Section 2(b)(i) of the Registration Rights Agreement. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all the then outstanding Debentures or the full exercise of the Warrants, the Investors shall be entitled to, inter alia, the premium price redemption rights provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. (c) Each Investor shall be entitled to receive up to its pro rata share of the authorized but unissued shares referred to in paragraph (b) above in connection with the conversion of its Debentures and/or exercise of its Warrants. If an Investor has converted all of its Debentures and redeemed all of its Warrants, but has not depleted the total number of pro rata shares allocated to it, its remaining pro rata shares shall be reallocated amongst the Investors still holding Debentures and/or Warrants on a pro rata basis. (d) If the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available to satisfy the Company's obligations to a holder of Debentures upon receipt of a Conversion Notice (as defined in the Debentures) or is otherwise unable to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Debenture such holder shall be entitled to the rights and remedies set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Debenture, subject to the Company's right (if any) to cure as set forth thereunder and pursuant to the next sentence. The holder shall not be entitled to such rights and remedies to the extent that the Company does not have a sufficient number of shares available due solely to its having an insufficient number of authorized shares as a result of an adjustment or Reset (as defined in the Debentures) of the conversion price referred to in the Conversion Notice which occurred less than ninety days preceding the Acceptable Delivery Date (as defined in the Debentures), provided that, on or before the ninetieth day following such adjustment or Reset, the Company has authorized such shares and issued them to the holder in accordance with the Conversion Notice. Section 3.11 Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Article 4 of this Agreement. Section 3.12 Limitations on Issuance of Equity and Transfers (a) So long as any Debentures remain outstanding, the Company agrees that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall (i) create, incur, assume, guarantee, secure or in any manner become liable in respect of any debt financing that has an equity component 17 18 associated therewith, including but not limited to convertible securities and debt with warrants ("DEBT-EQUITY FINANCING"), which is senior to the Debentures; or (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any security interest, lien or other encumbrance on or with respect to any of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with any Debt-Equity Financing. No subsidiary of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations under any Debt-Equity Financing. (b) The Company shall not contribute or transfer its assets to any of its subsidiaries, other than a subsidiary that has delivered its guarantee to the Investor in form and substance satisfactory to the Investors. Section 3.13 Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Debentures, Warrants, Common Shares and Warrant Shares, as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Investor promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before each Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall have reasonably determined is necessary to qualify the Debentures, Warrants, Common Shares and Warrant Shares for sale to the Investors at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Investor on or prior to the Closing Date. Section 3.14 Nasdaq Rule. The Investors shall, in the aggregate, be entitled to convert Debentures into a total of 4,855,889 Common Shares (19.99% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, which number shall be subject to readjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Common Stock) (the "20% CAP"). Each Investor shall be entitled to convert that amount of its Debentures into such total number of Common Shares equal to such Investor's pro rata share of the 20% Cap. Once an Investor has received its total pro rata share upon conversion of its Debentures, it may request that the Company redeem its remaining Debentures at a price equal to the greater of (a) the cash value that the Investor would receive upon conversion of the Debenture at the Conversion Price and subsequent sale of the Common Shares received thereupon at the Market Price for Shares of Common Stock in existence on such date and (b) 130% of the "OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT" (as defined in the Debentures) plus accrued but unpaid interest and default payments in effect at that time. If an Investor has converted all of its Debentures, but has not depleted the total number of pro rata shares allocated to it, its remaining pro rata shares shall be reallocated amongst the Investors still holding Debentures on a pro rata basis. The restrictions and redemption obligations set forth in this Section 3.14 shall cease to apply if (a) the Company obtains approval of the Company's shareholders other than the Investors (if applicable), to issue Common Shares in excess of the 20% Cap pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4460 or (b) the Company provides the Investors with irrevocable written notice, based upon the advice of its counsel, that any such issuance of Common Shares upon conversion of the Debentures is not subject to the 20% Cap pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4460. The Company will use its best efforts promptly to obtain either the shareholder approval or the irrevocable notice described in the preceding sentence and to provide the Investors with a copy of same: without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall solicit the aforementioned shareholder approval at the next shareholders meeting (for whatever purpose it may be called) which, in any event, shall not be later than May 31, 2001 in which the Company will solicit the aforementioned shareholder approval, will solicit proxies in favor of issuing Common Shares in excess of the 20% Cap and will use its best efforts to have all affiliates of the 18 19 Company which own or control shares of Common Stock to vote their shares in favor of such resolution. For purposes of this Section 3.14 only, conversion of Debentures into Forced Conversion Warrants shall be deemed to be conversion of Debentures into the Common Shares into which such Forced Conversion Warrants are exercisable. Section 3.15 Transactions With Affiliates. The Company agrees that any transaction or arrangement between it or any of its subsidiaries and any affiliate or employee of the Company shall be effected on an arms' length basis in accordance with customary commercial practice and, except with respect to grants of options and stock to service providers, including employees, shall be approved by a majority of the Company's outside directors. Section 3.16 Press Release. Immediately following the Closing, the Company shall issue a press release in the form set forth in Schedule 3.16 hereto. Investors shall have the opportunity to review such press release prior to its issuance. No press release shall name the Investors except as shall be required by law. If the Company fails to issue a press release within 1 business day of the Closing, the Investors may issue a press release covering the Closing and complying with any legal requirement applicable to the Investors. Section 3.17 Trading. (a) An Investor may not effect, on any day during any Reset Pricing Period (as defined in the Debentures), sales of Common Stock (including short sales) in excess of 10% of the trading volume on such day. The foregoing restriction shall not apply (i) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Debentures) shall have occurred and be continuing during any day during a Reset Pricing Period (as defined in the Debentures) or (ii) at any time after a Change in Control Transaction has occurred pursuant to the Debentures. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, if the Company delivers a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Debentures, then an Investor shall be permitted to sell (including sell short) during any Reset Pricing Period, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise permitted above, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued pursuant to one or more Conversion Notices that are submitted or to be submitted by such Investor prior to the Redemption Date. (b) An Investor shall not effect, on any Trading Day during a Conversion Pricing Period (as defined in the Debentures) initiated by such Investor, sales of Common Stock (including short sales) in excess of its pro rata share of 24% of the trading volume on such Trading Day. In the event that the Investor does so effect sales of Common Stock (including short sales) in excess thereof, and provided that the Investor acts in accordance with the following, the sole remedy therefor shall be to reduce the maximum number of shares that the Investor may sell (including sell short) on each of the immediately subsequent 3 Trading Days during such Conversion Pricing Period by an amount equal to 1/3 of such excess sales. The foregoing restriction shall not apply (i) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing during any day during such Conversion Pricing Period; (ii) at any time after a Change in Control Transaction has occurred as defined in the Debentures; or (iii) in the event that the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice to such Investor pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Debentures and the Investor elects, by providing the Company with notice via facsimile, to truncate the Conversion Pricing Period as of the date such notice was delivered to the Company; 19 20 provided that if the foregoing restriction does not apply due solely to the application of clause (iii) above, such restriction will become effective, subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above (and subject to clause (iii) above as to a subsequent Redemption Notice), upon the delivery of a subsequent Conversion Notice by the Holder in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) of the Debenture. In the event that the Investor elects to truncate the Conversion Pricing Period on a Holder Conversion Date, the full amount of the Debentures otherwise to be converted on such Holder Conversion Date shall be so converted pursuant to the terms of the Debentures. In the event that the Investor elects to truncate the Conversion Pricing Period other than on a Holder Conversion Date, a "PRO RATA AMOUNT" (as defined below) of the Debentures which would otherwise be converted on the immediately subsequent Holder Conversion Date shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the average of the VWAP for each of the Trading Days immediately following the last Holder Conversion Date up to and including the date upon which the notice to truncate was delivered to the Company (the "TRUNCATED PERIOD"). The Pro Rata Amount shall equal the number of Trading Days in the Truncated Period multiplied by one-fifth (1/5) multiplied by the Outstanding Principal Amount (plus accrued but unpaid interest and default payments (not previously added to principal)) otherwise to be converted on the Holder Conversion Date immediately following the Truncated Period. Except as set forth above, in the event that the Investor elects to so truncate a Conversion Pricing Period, unless a new Conversion Notice is thereafter submitted by the Investor, there shall be no further conversions in such Conversion Pricing Period. Section 3.18 Form 8-K. Within 15 calendar days of the Closing, the Company shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC which discloses the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Registration Rights Agreement, Warrants and Debentures. Investors shall have the opportunity to review such Form 8-K prior to its filing.
