There is no action, suit or proceeding, or governmental inquiry or investigation, pending, or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, any basis therefor or threat thereof, against the Company or any Subsidiary, which questions the validity or legality of this Agreement or the right of the Company to enter into any such agreement, or which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any litigation pending, or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, any basis therefor or threat thereof, against the Company or any Subsidiary by reason of the past or present employment relationships of any of the Company's or any Subsidiary's employees, the past, current or proposed activities of the Company or any Subsidiary, or negotiations by the Company with 5 possible investors in the Company. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any outstanding judgment, order or decree. 3.9 Financial Statements; Liquidity. (a) The Company has furnished to the Purchaser a complete and correct copy of the audited balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002 and the related audited statements of operations and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended (collectively, the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements are complete and correct, are in accordance with the books and records of the Company and present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Company at the dates and for the periods indicated, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") consistently applied. (b) The Company reasonably believes that it has the financial resources, without giving effect to the proceeds of the Senior Convertible Promissory Notes hereunder, to conduct the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, during the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2004. 3.10 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any liability (whether known or unknown and whether absolute or contingent), except for contractual liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business which are not required by GAAP to be reflected on a balance sheet and which contractual liabilities would not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. 3.11 Taxes. The amount shown on the Financial Statements as provision for taxes is sufficient in all material respects for payment of all accrued and unpaid federal, state, county, local and foreign taxes for the period then ended and all prior periods and any other taxes payable by the Company howsoever arising. The Company has filed or has obtained presently effective extensions with respect to all federal, state, county, local and foreign tax returns which are required to be filed by it, such returns are true and correct and all taxes shown thereon to be due have been timely paid with exceptions not material to the Company. Federal income tax returns of the Company have not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and no controversy with respect to taxes of any type is pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to its employees the amount of all taxes required to be withheld or collected therefrom and has paid all such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities when due. Neither the Company nor any of its stockholders (with respect to the Company) has ever filed (a) an election pursuant to Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that the Company be taxed as an S Corporation or (b) a consent pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code relating to collapsible corporations. To the best of the Company's knowledge, without inquiring as to any direct or indirect changes in the ownership structure of stockholders of the Company that are investment funds, the Company's net operating losses for federal income tax purposes, as set forth in the Financial Statements, are not subject to any limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Code, and 6 consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any other agreement, understanding or commitment, contingent or otherwise, to which the Company is a party or by which it is otherwise bound will not have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to use such net operating losses in full to offset such taxable income. 3.12 Property and Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its material properties and assets, and none of such properties or assets is subject to any Security Interest other than those the material terms of which are described in the Company Disclosure Schedule. 3.13 Intellectual Property. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary owns, free and clear of all Security Interests, or has the valid right to use, all Intellectual Property (as defined below in this Section 3.13) used by it in its business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted. No other person or entity (other than licensors of software that is generally commercially available on reasonable terms, licensors of Intellectual Property under the agreements disclosed pursuant to paragraph (d) below and non-exclusive licensees of the Company's Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the Company's business) has any rights to any of the Intellectual Property owned or used by the Company and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no other person or entity is infringing, violating or misappropriating any of the Intellectual Property that the Company owns or to which it has obtained exclusive licenses. For purposes of this Agreement, "Intellectual Property" means all (i) United States and foreign patents and patent applications, and any divisional, continuation, continuation in part, reissue, renewal or re-examination patent issuing therefrom (including any foreign counterparts), (ii) copyrights and registrations thereof, (iii) mask works and registrations and applications for registration thereof, (iv) computer software, including any and all software implementations of algorithms, models and methodologies, whether in source code or object code, (v) databases and compilations, including any and all data and collections of data, whether machine readable or otherwise, (vi) technology supporting any Internet site(s) operated by or on behalf of the Company, (vii) trade secrets and other confidential business information, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, know-how, technology, proprietary processes, techniques, methodologies, formulae, algorithms, models, user interfaces, research and development information, copyrightable works, financial, marketing and business data, pricing and cost information, business and marketing plans and customer and supplier lists and information, inventions, source code, object code, and, with respect to all of the foregoing, related confidential documentation, (viii) trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain names and applications and registrations therefor, (ix) all documentation, including user manuals and training materials relating to any of the foregoing and descriptions, flow-charts and other work product used to design, plan, organize and develop any of the foregoing, and (x) other proprietary rights relating to any of the foregoing. (b) To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of the activities or business conducted by the Company or any Subsidiary infringes, violates or constitutes a 7 misappropriation of (or in the past infringed, violated or constituted a misappropriation of) any Intellectual Property of any other person or entity and none of the activities or business presently proposed to be conducted will infringe, violate or constitute a misappropriation of any Intellectual Property, in existence on the date of this Agreement, of any other person or entity. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any complaint, claim or notice alleging any such infringement, violation or misappropriation, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for any such complaint, claim or notice. (c) Section 3.13(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary each (i) patent that has been issued or assigned to it with respect to any of its Intellectual Property, (ii) pending patent application that it has made with respect to any of its Intellectual Property, (iii) copyright, trademark or service mark registration or application with respect to its Intellectual Property, (iv) domain name registration or application with respect to its Intellectual Property and (v) mask work registration or application with respect to its Intellectual Property. (d) Section 3.13(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule hereto identifies each agreement (other than employee and consultant agreements concerning assignment of inventions) with a third party pursuant to which the Company or any Subsidiary obtains rights to Intellectual Property material to the business of the Company or any such Subsidiary as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (other than software that is generally commercially available on reasonable terms) that is owned by a party other than the Company or any Subsidiary. Except as set forth on Section 3.13(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, other than license fees for software that is generally commercially available on reasonable terms, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated to pay any royalties or other compensation to any third party in respect of its ownership, use or license of any of its Intellectual Property. (e) The Company and each Subsidiary has taken and shall take all reasonable precautions and actions (i) to protect its rights in its Intellectual Property and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of its trade secrets, know-how and other confidential Intellectual Property. To the best of the Company's knowledge, there have been no acts or omissions by the officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors or other agents of the Company or any Subsidiary, which could materially compromise the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary in its Intellectual Property, including without limitation the Company's or any Subsidiary's ability to apply for or enforce appropriate legal protection of its Intellectual Property. (f) All of the Company's and each Subsidiary's Intellectual Property has been created by employees of the Company or such Subsidiary within the scope of their employment by the Company or such Subsidiary or by independent contractors of the Company or such Subsidiary, each of whom has executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest in such Intellectual Property to the Company or such Subsidiary. No portion of the Company's or any Subsidiary's Intellectual Property was jointly developed with any third party. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no other person or entity (including without limitation any prior employer of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary) has any right to, or interest in, any of the Intellectual Property that is material to the business of the Company or 8 such Subsidiary as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted (other than software that is generally commercially available on reasonable terms). 3.14 Insurance. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains valid policies of workers' compensation insurance and of insurance with respect to its properties and business of the kinds and in the amounts not less than is customarily obtained by corporations of established reputation engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated, including, without limitation, insurance against loss, damage, fire, theft, public liability and other risks, as well as directors and officers liability insurance. 3.15 Material Contracts and Obligations.

Each such agreement or contract is valid, binding and in full force and effect. Neither the Company, nor, to the best of the Company's knowledge, any other party thereto, is in default of any of its obligations under any agreement or contract listed on the Company Disclosure Schedule, except for defaults that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 3.16 Compliance. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary has, in all material respects, complied with all laws, regulations, orders and all industry accepted prescription safety standards applicable to its present and proposed business except where the failure to so comply would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect and has all approvals, permits and licenses required to operate its business in the manner presently operated, except for defaults that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The stock ledger of the Company is complete and reflects all issuances, transfers, repurchases and cancellations of shares of capital stock of the Company. 3.21 Permits. Section 3.21 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all material permits, licenses, registrations, certificates, orders or approvals from any Governmental Entity ("Permits") issued to or held by the Company and each Subsidiary. Such listed Permits are the only Permits that are required for the Company or any Subsidiary to conduct its business as presently or proposed to be conducted, except for those the absence of which would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each such Permit is in full force and effect and, to the best of the knowledge of the Company, no suspension or cancellation of such Permit is threatened and there is no basis for believing that such Permit will not be renewable upon expiration. 3.22 Environmental Matters. (a) Each of the Company and each Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below in this Section 3.22(a)). There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened civil or criminal litigation, written notice of violation, formal administrative proceeding, or investigation, inquiry or information request by any Governmental Entity, relating to any Environmental Law involving the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Environmental Law" means any foreign, federal, state or local law, statute, rule or regulation or the common law relating to the protection of human health or the environment, including without limitation CERCLA (as defined below in this Section 3.22(a)), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, and any statute, regulation or order pertaining to (i) treatment, storage, disposal, generation or transportation of Materials of Environmental Concern (as defined below in this Section 3.22(a)); (ii) air, water or noise pollution; (iii) groundwater or soil contamination; (iv) the release or threatened release into the environment of Materials of Environmental Concern, including without limitation, emissions, discharges, injections, spills, escapes or dumping of pollutants, contaminants, or chemicals; (v) the protection of wildlife, marine life and wetlands, including without limitation all endangered and threatened species; (vi) storage tanks, vessels, abandoned or discarded barrels, containers and other closed receptacles; (vii) health and safety of employees and other persons including, for example, as regulated by the Occupational and Health Act (42 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq.); and (viii) manufacture, processing, use, distribution, treatment, storage, disposal, transportation or handling of Materials of Environmental Concern. As used in this Section 3.22, the terms "release" and "environment" shall have the meaning set forth in the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Materials of Environmental Concern" means any chemicals, pollutants or contaminants, hazardous substances (as such term is defined 11 under CERCLA), solid wastes and hazardous wastes (as such terms are defined under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976), toxic materials, oil or petroleum and petroleum products, or any other material subject to regulation under any Environmental Law. (b) Neither the Company, any Subsidiary, nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, any third party has released any Materials of Environmental Concern into the environment at any parcel of real property or any facility formerly or currently owned, operated or controlled by the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company is not aware of any releases of Materials of Environmental Concern at parcels of real property of facilities that are not owned, operated or controlled by the Company or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have an impact on the real property or facilities owned, operated or controlled by the Company or such Subsidiary. (c) The Company is not aware of any material environmental liability of the solid and hazardous waste transporters and treatment, storage and disposal facilities that have been utilized by the Company or any Subsidiary. (d) Set forth in Section 3.22(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule is a list of all environmental reports, investigations and audits of which the Company has knowledge and has in its possession, custody or control (whether conducted by or on behalf of the Company or a third party, and whether done at the initiative of the Company or directed by a Governmental Entity or other third party) issued or conducted since the inception of the Company relating to premises currently or previously owned or operated by the Company or a Subsidiary. Complete and accurate copies of each such report, or the results of each such investigation or audit, have been provided to special counsel for the Purchaser. 3.23 U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is now and has never been a "United States Real Property Holding Corporation" as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and Section 1.897-2(b) of the Regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has filed with the Internal Revenue Service all statements, if any, with its U.S. income tax returns, which are required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h). 3.24 No Preemptive Rights or Rights of First Refusal. The sale of the Securities is not, and the subsequent conversion or exercise of the Securities into Common Stock will not be, subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with. 3.25 Related-Party Transactions. (a) No employee, consultant, officer, shareholder, director or affiliate (as defined in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Company, or, in the case of any of the foregoing who are individuals, any member of his or her immediate family, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing, is indebted to, or owns an interest in the property, technology or licenses of, the Company. The Company is not indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guaranty credit) to any of the foregoing, other than for (i) the payment of 12 salary and/or performance bonuses for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, and/or (iii) other standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees or to similarly situated persons. (b) To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except that such persons may own stock in publicly traded companies (not exceeding one percent of such companies' outstanding capital stock) that may compete with the Company. 3.26 Disclosures. Neither this Agreement nor any Exhibit or Schedule hereto, nor any report, certificate, document or instrument furnished to the Purchaser or its agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, when read together, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 4. Representations of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 4.1 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities, and the shares of Common Stock into which the Securities may be converted or exchanged, for the Purchaser's own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of distributing or selling the same; and, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, the Purchaser has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 4.2 Authority. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into and to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Purchaser represents that it has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company. 4.3 Experience. The Purchaser has carefully reviewed the representations concerning the Company contained in this Agreement and has made detailed inquiry concerning the terms and conditions of the Securities and the purchase and sale of Securities contemplated hereby, the Company, its business financial condition, operations, assets and its personnel. The officers or representatives of the Company have made available to the Purchaser any and all written information which it has requested and have answered to the Purchaser's satisfaction all inquiries made by the Purchaser; and the Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in finance and business that it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of its investment in the Company and the Purchaser is able financially to bear the risks thereof (including a complete loss of its investment). 4.4 Limitations on Disposition. The Purchaser recognizes that no public market exists for the Securities, and none may exist in the future. The Purchaser understands 13 that it must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless its Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and unless the disposition of such Securities is qualified or registered under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such qualification or registration is available, and that the Company has no obligation or present intention of so registering the Securities. The Purchaser further understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from the Securities Act will be available, or, if available, that such exemption will allow it to transfer any or all the Securities, in the amounts, or at the times it might propose. The Purchaser understands that at the present time Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Rule 144") is not applicable to sales of the Securities because the Company is not subject to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the information concerning the Company specified in Rule 144 is not publicly available. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company is not presently under any obligation to register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or to make publicly available the information specified in Rule 144 and that it may never be required to do so. 5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to incur and suffer to exist: (x) Indebtedness that is secured by any accounts receivable of the Company or any Subsidiary which Indebtedness shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate accounts receivable in existence from time to time, and (y) any Purchase Money Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined).

The Company shall permit the representatives of the Purchaser: (a) Prior to Closing. Prior to the Closing, at the expense of the Purchaser, to visit and inspect any of the offices or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary, to examine all their respective books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company or such Subsidiary to be kept confidential or secret, to make copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers and independent public accountants, consultants and advisors, (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants, consultants and advisors, to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and each Subsidiary), all at such times and as often as may be requested.

The Company will and will cause each Subsidiary to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties, businesses and products against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated. 7.7 Maintenance. The Company will and will cause each Subsidiary to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 7.7 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 7.8 Taxes.
