jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser as follows (the truth
and accuracy of each of which representations and warranties shall constitute a
condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to close hereunder):
(a) Organization and Standing of Company. Company is a
----------------------------------------
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own all of its properties and to carry on the business
presently being conducted by it. Company is duly qualified to transact
business and is in good standing in the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule

received no notice or other communication from any governmental body or
agency to the effect that it should be qualified to do business in any

outstanding (or will be issued and outstanding at Closing), and 104,000
authorized shares which have not been issued but have been reserved for
issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans. Except for the
104,000 options to purchase its Common Stock, the Company has no securities

convertible into shares of any class of capital stock or any other security
of Company, nor any outstanding rights, options, warrants, subscriptions or
other instruments or understandings entitling the holders thereof to

marketable title to and the unrestricted right and full power to exchange
and deliver to Purchaser the Stock pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement. Such shares of Stock have been duly and validly issued and are
free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims, equities and liabilities
of every nature and represent one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and
outstanding voting securities of Company so that, at Closing, the Stock
will represent all of the issued and outstanding stock of Company. The
delivery of the Stock to Purchaser will vest in Purchaser all right, title

authority. Purchaser is not in material violation of its amended Articles

6. Covenants and Agreements of the Majority Shareholders. In addition
------------------------------------------------------
to the covenants and agreements elsewhere set forth herein, Majority
Shareholders covenant and agree as follows:
(a) Conduct of Business Prior to Closing. Without Purchaser's
-------------------------------------
prior written consent to the contrary, prior to the date of Closing, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, Majority Shareholders will cause
Company to operate so as:
(i) To carry on its business in substantially the same manner
as heretofore carried on, and not to make any purchase or sale, or
enter into any agreement or lease (whether as a lessor or lessee), or
introduce any new method of management or operation in respect of any
such business, except in the ordinary course of business and in a
manner not inconsistent with prior practice and with the terms of this
Agreement;
(ii) Not to declare or pay any dividend or make any other
distribution or payment with respect to its Common Stock, nor directly
or indirectly to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any of its
Common Stock;
(iii) Not to acquire, sell, transfer, lease, mortgage,
pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any fixed asset or personal
property (other than inventory, including work in process, in the
ordinary and usual course of business);
(iv) Not to discharge or satisfy any lien or encumbrance or
pay or perform any obligation or liability other than (i) current
liabilities set forth in the balance sheets included in the financial
statements, or (ii) current liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business since July 31, 2000;
(v) Not to change or alter the physical contents or character
of any of its inventory so as to affect the nature of any of its
business or result in a change of the total dollar valuation thereof,
other than as a result of transactions in the ordinary course of
business;
(vi) Not to do any of the acts specified in Subparagraph 4(g)
hereof;
(vii) To maintain and preserve its business organization and
goodwill intact and maintain its relationships with suppliers,
customers (including lessees), creditors, employees and others having
business relationships with it;
(viii) Not to make any changes or modifications in any
agreement to which it is a party or which affects it, except in the
ordinary course of business and in an amount not exceeding One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in any one transaction or as required by
this Agreement;
(ix) To take such action as may be necessary to maintain,
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate

for a single item exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) and not
to make commitments for capital expenditures exceeding Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000.00) in the aggregate; and
(xi) Not to enter into any contracts, commitments or
proposals for the sale or lease of any of its products or sale of any
of its services which require the manufacture of new products costing
in the aggregate Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or more. In order
not to impede Company's sales, Purchaser agrees to approve or
disapprove all Company's proposed sales contracts within one (1)
business day of notice, pursuant to the notice provisions herein.
Purchaser agrees that its failure to notify Company of its decision
within the proscribed time shall be deemed an acceptance of the
proposed sales contract.

---------------------
to prepare and deliver to Purchaser as promptly as possible following the
date of this Agreement, but not later than three (3) business day prior to
the Closing, all Schedules not attached to this Agreement on the date of
execution hereof. Shareholders agree that where provisions of this
Agreement state or imply that Schedules are attached, the failure to have
such Schedules attached upon the date of execution hereof shall not act as
a waiver by Purchaser of the receipt of such Schedules or of any
representations or warranties relating to such schedules. Notwithstanding
language in this paragraph to the contrary, Schedule 4 (k) shall be
attached to this Agreement upon execution hereof by the Company and the
Majority Shareholders.
