Materials, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser as

shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date as if then made and shall
survive the Closing:
3.1 ORGANIZATION. The Company and a corporation identified
in the SEC Filings (as hereinafter defined) as its subsidiary (the
"Subsidiary") are each a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation. The Company and the Subsidiary have all requisite power and
authority to own or lease their properties and to conduct their businesses
as now conducted. The Company holds all licenses and permits required for
the conduct of its business as now conducted, which, if not obtained, would
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company taken as a whole. Each of the Company
and the Subsidiary is qualified as a foreign or domestic corporation and is
in good standing in all states where the conduct of its business or its
ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except where
failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company taken
as a whole.
3.2 CAPITALIZATION. The authorized, issued and out-standing
capital stock of the Company on September 30, 1997 is as set forth in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30,
1997 (the "1997 Third Quarter Form 10-Q") which is included in the Offering
Materials (Tab B). Since September 30, 1997, there has been no material
change in the capitalization of the Company, except as has been described
in the Offering Materials. All of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable. Except as stated in the Offering Materials and except
for rights granted under the Company's stock plans, there are no existing
subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments, agreements,
conversion or other rights of any character (contingent or otherwise) to
purchase or otherwise acquire from the Company at any time, or upon the
happening of any stated event, any shares of the capital stock of the
Company.
3.3 AUTHORITY. The Company has all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, and upon their execution and delivery by the Company, such
documents will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
3
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except as the indemnification provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement may be limited by principles of public policy, and subject as to
enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditor's rights from
time to time in effect and subject to general equity principles.
3.4 SECURITIES FILINGS. The Company has filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the documents set forth in
the Offering Materials included herein under Tab A (the "SEC Filings").
The Company has filed with the SEC all reports and all other filings
required to be filed with the SEC under the rules and regulations of the
SEC.
(a) The SEC Filings, when filed, conformed in all
material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder as of their respective filing dates and
did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. The documents or portions thereof that
were incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings pursuant to the
requirements of the Exchange Act, when such incorporated documents or
portions were first filed with the SEC, conformed in all material respects
with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC thereunder.
(b) The consolidated financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Filings fairly presented in all material
respects the financial position and results of operations of the Company
and the Subsidiary at their respective dates and for the respective periods
to which they apply; and such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied throughout the periods involved except as otherwise stated therein.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision therein to the
contrary, it is understood by the Company and the Purchaser that the
Company is not representing or warranting any statement in the SEC Filings
relating to future, anticipated or possible circumstances, occurrences or
developments.
3.5 ISSUANCE OF THE NOTES. The Notes, when issued against
payment therefor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and
validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3.6 NO CONFLICT WITH LAW OR DOCUMENTS. The execution,
delivery and consummation of this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not: (a) conflict with any provisions of the certificate of
incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, or the bylaws of the
Company, as amended to date, or the governing documents of any Subsidiary;
or (b) result in any violation of or default or loss of a benefit under, or
permit the acceleration of any obligation under (in each case, upon the
giving of notice, the passage of time, or both) any mortgage,
4
indenture, lease, agreement or other instrument, permit, franchise,
license, judgement, order, decree, law, ordinance, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company, any Subsidiary or their respective properties.
