existing corporation in corporate good standing under the laws of the

any violation of or be in conflict with, or result in a breach of or
constitute a default under, any term or provision of any legal
requirement to which the Company is subject, or the Company's charter
or by-laws, or any contractual obligation to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound, except for a breach of any such
contractual obligation which would have no Material Adverse Effect.
2.4. Financial Statements and Other Documents. The Investors
have been furnished with complete and correct copies of the Company's
Registration Statement on From 10-SB as filed with the SEC on March 3,
2000 (the "Registration Statement"), which contains the following:
(a) Audited balance sheet of the Company as of September 30,
1999, together with the related statements of income, cash flows and
stockholders' equity for the year then ended.
(b) Unaudited balance sheets of the Company as of the quarter
ended December 31, 1999, together with the related statement of income
for the three-month period then ended.
The financial statements referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above (the
"Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied and, together with the notes thereto, fairly present the financial
condition of the Company at the dates thereof and the results of its operations
for the periods covered thereby, subject to normal year-end adjustments in the
case of the financial statements referred to in clause (b) above.
2.5. Outstanding Debt; Absence of Liabilities. The Company has no
outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money except as reflected in the Financial
Statements and is not a guarantor or otherwise contingently liable on such
indebtedness of any other Person except as reflected in the Financial Statements
and the notes thereto. The Company has no material liabilities, contingent or
otherwise, which are not reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements.
2.6. Changes in Condition. Since December 31, 1999, there has occurred
no event or events that, individually or in the aggregate, have caused a
Material Adverse Effect.
2.7. Transactions with Affiliates. No Affiliate of the Company is a
customer or supplier of, or is party to any Contractual Obligation with, the
Company.
2.8. Conformity With Legal Requirements. The operations of the Company
as presently conducted are not in violation of, nor is the Company in default
under, any legal requirements presently in effect, except for such violations
and defaults as do not and will not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has all franchises, licenses, permits or other authority
presently necessary for the conduct of its business as now conducted, except
where the failure to
3

have such authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Based on the facts
presently known to the Company, all future expenditures on the part of the
Company that will be reasonably required for the business as presently conducted
to meet the provisions of any presently existing legal requirement (including
legal requirements relating to employment practices or to occupational or health
standards or to environmental considerations) will not, in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
2.9. Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan and Welfare
Plan has been administered in substantial compliance with its terms and all
applicable laws, including the Code and ERISA, except where the failure to
comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no obligation
under any Welfare Plan to provide for the continuation of benefits (other than
disability payments and medical benefits incurred for illness arising in the
course of employment) for more than one year after retirement or other
termination of employment. No "reportable events" within the meaning of section
4043 of ERISA have occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. No
Pension Plan is a "multiemployer plan" as defined in ERISA. The present value of
benefits liabilities as described in Title IV of ERISA of Employee Benefit Plans
does not exceed the current value of such Employee Benefit Plans assets
allocable to such benefits liabilities by more than $100,000.
2.10. Employees. None of the employees of the Company is presently
represented by a labor union, and no petition has been filed or proceedings
instituted by any employee or group of employees with any labor relations board
seeing recognition of a bargaining representative. No controversies or disputes
are pending between the Company and any of its employees, except for such
controversies and disputes as do not and will not, in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the Company's knowledge, no employee of
the Company is in violation of any term of any contractual obligation with a
former employer relating to the right of any such employee to by employed by the
Company because of the nature of the Company's business or the use of any trade
secrets or proprietary information.
2.11. Taxes. The Company has filed all material tax and information
returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid, or made adequate
provision for the payment of, all taxes which have or may become due. The
Company has no knowledge of any material additional assessments or any basis
therefor. The Company reasonably believes that the charges, accruals and
reserves on the Balance Sheet in respect of taxes or other governmental charges
are adequate. 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 over such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities.
2.12. Litigation. No litigation or proceeding before, or investigation
by, any foreign, federal, state or municipal board or other governmental or
administrative agency or any arbitrator is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened (nor to the knowledge of the Company, does any basis exist
therefor) against the Company or, to the Company's knowledge, any officer of
4
5
the Company, which in the aggregate could result in any material liability or
which may otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect.
2.13. Patents and Trademarks. To the best of its knowledge (but without
having conducted any special investigation or patent search), the Company owns
or possesses sufficient legal right to all patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, and proprietary
rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and as proposed
to be conducted ("IP") without any conflict with, or infringement of the rights
of, others. Except for agreements with its own employees or consultants,
end-user license agreements and other agreements relating to IP, the loss or
termination of which would not be reasonably expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company is not a party to any outstanding options, licenses,
or agreements of any kind relating to IP, nor is the Company bound by or a party
to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to IP of any
other person or entity. The Company has not received any communications alleging
that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would
to the Company's knowledge, violate any of the IP of any other person or entity.
The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any
contract (including licenses, covenants, or commitments of any nature) or other
agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or
administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of such employee's best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the
Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the
employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as proposed,
will, to the best of the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant, or instrument relating to IP under which any of
such employees is now obligated and which could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not believe it is or will be
necessary to use any inventions of its employees (or persons it currently
intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company.
2.14. Consents. No consent, approval, qualification, order or
authorization of, or filing with any governmental authority is required in
connection with the Company's valid execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement, or the offer, issue or sale of the Shares by the Company, or the
consummation of any other transaction contemplated on the part of the Company
hereby.

taken together with the Registration Statement and the agreements, certificates,
statements and documents furnished in writing in connection herewith by or on
behalf of the Company to the Investor do not contain any untrue statement of
material fact or omit (in the aggregate) to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in any
material respect.
