BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Buyer represents and warrants with respect to only itself that: (a) Investment Purpose. Such Buyer is acquiring the Common Shares (the Common Shares may also be referred to herein as the "Securities"), 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 does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. (b) Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D and such Buyer has in excess of $20,000,000 in assets under its investment management. (c) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities 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. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. 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. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such 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 Securities. Such Buyer has been informed that the Company had filed a registration statement on Form S-2 and had as of April 8, 1999 withdrawn such registration statement. Neither Buyer nor their respective advisors have been furnished with a copy of such registration statement and neither Buyer has reviewed nor relied upon the registration statement in any way in determining to enter into this transaction. (e) No Governmental Review. Such 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 Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities. (f) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Common Shares 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, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Common Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Common Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144"); and (ii) any sale of the Common Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, and if Seller intends to utilize Rule 144 but Rule 144 is not applicable to such resale, any resale of the Common Shares 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. Each Buyer shall not deliver a portion or all of the Common Shares to cover any short position entered into by such Buyer. (g) Legends. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Commons Shares, until such time as the sale of the Common Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, except as set forth below, 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 FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (1) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT"), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR (3) UNLESS SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such Securities are registered for sale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. (h) Validity; 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 against such Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies. (i) Residency. Such Buyer is a resident of that country specified in its address on Schedule 1. (j) Section 11 Liability.

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 its ownership of property or 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. As used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results or operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below).

(c) Issuance of Securities. The Common Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be (i) validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable and (ii) free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted, in violation of any law, ordinance, regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations the sanctions for which either individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.

(d) [Reserved]. (e) [Reserved]. (f) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities (as that term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) upon each national securities exchange, automated quotation system or bulletin board system, if any, upon which shares of the Company's common stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of common stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents.

TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior to registration of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5 shall affect in any way each Buyer's obligations and agreements set forth in Section 2(g) to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon resale of the Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or the Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 6.

In consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing person's agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (d) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities or (e) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. 9. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time, (a) declare a dividend on the Company common stock payable in shares of its capital stock (including Company common stock) or, (b) subdivide the outstanding Company common stock or, (c) combine the outstanding Company common stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Company common stock (excluding any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the number of shares of Company common stock constituting the Common Shares at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification and the number and kind of Common Shares on such date shall be proportionately adjusted by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment to the Common Shares shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment to the Common Shares shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. 10. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Company agrees that Buyers will suffer damages if the Company violates any provision of or fails to fulfill any of its obligations or duties pursuant to the Transaction Documents, other than the Registration Rights Agreement (a "Company Violation"), and that it would not be possible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event of such Company Violation, the Company hereby agrees to pay liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") to each Buyer following the occurrence of such Company Violation in an amount determined by multiplying (i) $.085 per Common Share then held by such Buyer by (ii) the percentage derived by dividing (A) the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the date of the Company Violation or the prior 30-day period, as applicable, to the day such Company Violation has been completely cured by (B) 30, in cash, or at the Buyer's option, in the number of shares of Company common stock equal to the quotient of (v) the dollar amount of the Liquidated Damages on the Payment Date (as defined below) by (w) the closing bid price of the Company's common stock as of the date of the Company Violation (as quoted in the Principal Market or the market or exchange where the Company's common stock is then traded). The Liquidated Damages payable pursuant hereto shall be payable within five (5) business days from the end of the calendar month commencing on the first calendar month in which the Company Violation occurs (each, a "Payment Date"). In the event the Buyer elects to receive the Liquidated Damages amount in shares of Company common stock, such shares shall also be considered Common Shares and shall have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. 11. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Illinois (except for the proper application of the United States federal securities laws), without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature. (c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Buyers, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Common Shares. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyers. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release such Buyer from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption. (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. (j) [Reserved]. (k) Further Assurances.

(l) Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before three (3) business days from the date hereof due to the Company's or such Buyer's failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11(l), the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse the nonbreaching Buyers for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above. (m) [Reserved.] (n) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. (o) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. (p) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to the Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyers and the Company have caused this Securities Purchase Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first written above. COMPANY: BUYERS: DYNAMICWEB ENTERPRISES INC.
