ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF RAYTEL AND RTPS
Subject to and except for the information which is set forth in a list
of exceptions identified by the specific section of this Article to which such
information pertains and contained in a schedule delivered to Purchaser prior to
the execution of this Agreement (the "RTPS Disclosure Schedule"), attached
hereto as Exhibit A, Raytel and RTPS jointly and severally represent to
Purchaser that:
3.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each of Raytel, RMH, and RTPS is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware and RTPS is qualified to do business in the State of
Texas.
3.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of RTPS consists of
1,000 shares of Common Stock, $ 0.001 par value per share, all of which are
issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. All of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of RTPS have been validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable and are owned, of record and beneficially, by RMH, free and clear
of any Encumbrances or restrictions (other than restrictions on transfer under
applicable federal and state securities laws). No shares of capital stock are
held by RTPS as treasury stock. There is no existing option, warrant or other
agreement of any kind to which RTPS or Raytel or RMH is a party requiring, and
there are no convertible securities of RTPS outstanding which upon conversion
would require, (i) the issuance by RTPS of any additional shares of capital
stock of RTPS or other securities convertible into shares of capital stock or
any equity security of RTPS of any kind or (ii) the sale or transfer of any of
the Shares by Raytel or RMH, other than as contemplated by this Agreement.
3.3 Affiliate. RTPS does not own any equity interest, directly or
indirectly, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity
except the limited partnership identified in the RTPS Disclosure Schedule
(collectively, the "Affiliate").
3.4 Authority. Raytel, RTPS and the Affiliate have all necessary power
and authority to own or lease their respective properties and to carry on their
respective businesses as now being conducted, and possess all licenses, permits
and authorizations necessary to the conduct of such businesses where the failure
to possess any such license, permit or authorization would be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no representation is
made with respect to the licensing or qualification of medical professionals or
professional corporations performing services under contracts or arrangements
with RTPS or a Affiliate at any of the premises. Raytel, RTPS and the Affiliate
are duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each state or
jurisdiction wherein the nature of the business conducted or the character of
the property owned or leased by such entity requires such qualification and
where the failure to be so qualified would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 Financial Information.
(a) Seller has delivered to Purchaser true and correct copies of
all of the Financial Information with the exception of the RTPS Closing
Balance Sheet to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.8. The Financial
Information has been, and will be, prepared in accordance with GAAP and
present, and will present, fairly the consolidated financial position of
RTPS as of their respective dates and the results of operations, equity
transactions and cash flows of RTPS for the periods indicated. The RTPS
Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared using the same accounting
policies and procedures as used in previous preparing the Financial

business affairs since its inception and is familiar with all aspects of

the Balance Sheet, (ii) liabilities specifically described in this
Agreement, (iii) normal or recurring liabilities incurred since April
30, 2000 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices, and (iv) liabilities not required by GAAP to be reflected on
a balance sheet. It may be possible due to the organizational structure
of RTPS and Southeast Texas Cardiology Associates II, P.A., and its
successors or assigns, ("SETCA") that neither Raytel nor RTPS have
received invoices from third-party vendors that have been received by
SETCA or its employees or agents. These invoices would not be reflected
in the Balance Sheet and the failure of RTPS to include such invoices in
the Balance Sheet or in the RTPS Disclosure Schedule shall not
constitute a breach of this representation and warranty by Raytel or
RTPS.
3.6 Authorization. Raytel and RTPS have full power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby. Raytel and RTPS have taken all corporate action required by
law, their Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise to authorize
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by them of the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Raytel and RTPS and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Raytel and RTPS, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether asserted
in a proceeding in equity or at law.
3.7 Absence of Certain Changes and Events. Since the Balance Sheet Date:
(a) To the knowledge of RTPS, there has not been any change in
the business, operations, assets or financial condition of RTPS or any
of the Affiliate which has had or, as far as Raytel or RTPS can
reasonably foresee, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
-8-
10
(b) Except as contemplated by this Agreement, neither RTPS nor
the Affiliate has, other than in the ordinary course of business, (i)
entered into any material contract, license, franchise or commitment,
waived any material rights or made any amendment or termination of any
material contract, license, franchise or agreement; (ii) altered or
revised, in any material respect, its accounting principles, procedures,
methods or practices relating to the Raytel Management Business; (iii)
transferred, disposed or, or otherwise removed from any of its premises
any material assets; or (iv) incurred, discharged or satisfied any
material liability or Encumbrance relating to the Raytel Management
Business.

have good and marketable title to all of their respective properties and assets
shown as owned on the Balance Sheet (except for assets disposed of in the
ordinary course of business since the Balance Sheet Date), free and clear of any
and all Encumbrances except for permitted encumbrances, as set forth in the
Raytel Disclosure Schedule (the "Permitted Encumbrances").
3.9 Equipment and other Tangible Assets.
(a) The RTPS Disclosure Schedule includes complete and accurate
lists describing and specifying the location of all of the equipment and
other tangible personal property owned or used in the RTPS Business and
having an original cost in excess of $100,000. All of such equipment and
tangible personal property is in operating condition and free from
significant defects, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
(b) The RTPS Disclosure Schedule includes a complete and
accurate list of each lease under which RTPS is the lessor, sublessor,

Leases"), describing such lease and the type and location of the
property which is the subject thereof.
3.10 Real Property. Neither RTPS nor the Affiliate own any real property
in fee simple. The RTPS Disclosure Schedule includes a complete and accurate
list of each lease under which RTPS or a Affiliate is the lessor, sublessor,
lessee or sublessee of any real property (including any master lease in cases
where RTPS or a Affiliate is sublessee or sublessor) (the "RTPS Real Property
Leases"), describing such lease and the location of the property which is the
subject thereof.
-9-
11
3.11 Contracts, Commitments and Relationships.

accurate list, including a brief description, of: (i) all loans,

any Affiliate or any of their respective properties or assets are bound
(collectively, the "Material RTPS Contracts"). Except for the RTPS
Equipment Leases, the RTPS Real Property Leases and the Material RTPS
Contracts, neither RTPS nor the Affiliate is a party to or otherwise
bound by the terms of any contract, agreement, obligation or proposal
(whether written or oral) in any material way affecting the RTPS
Business.
(b) Neither RTPS nor the Affiliate, nor, to the best knowledge
of Raytel or RTPS, any other party is in default under any RTPS
Equipment Lease, RTPS Real Property Lease or Material RTPS Contract, and
there are no existing disputes or claims of default relating thereto, or
any facts or conditions known to Raytel or RTPS which, if continued,
will result in a default or a claim of default thereunder, except for
such disputes, defaults or claims which would not be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.12 Compliance with Law. RTPS and the Affiliate possess all regulatory
consents, authorizations, approvals, licenses and permits required by
Governmental Authorities in connection with the conduct of the Raytel Management
Business as presently conducted, where the failure to possess any such consent,
authorization, approval, license or permit would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that no representation is made with
respect to the licensing or qualification of medical professionals or
professional corporations performing services under contracts or arrangements
with RTPS or a Affiliate at any of the premises. Neither Raytel, RTPS nor the
Affiliate has received any: (i) notification of any asserted failure by RTPS or
any Affiliate to comply with any laws, regulations or other requirements of

likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (ii) complaint, inquiry or request
for information (whether written or oral) from any Governmental Authority
relating thereto.

or, to the best knowledge of Raytel or RTPS, threatened against or affecting
RTPS, any of the Affiliate, or any of their respective properties or business,
at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit,
proceeding or, to the best knowledge of Raytel or RTPS, formal governmental
inquiry or investigation pending against Raytel or RTPS which seeks to restrain
or prohibit or otherwise challenges the consummation, legality or validity of
the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.15 Consents. Except as set forth in Section 6.4 and the Raytel

Authority or other third person is required on the part of Raytel or RTPS in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated herein.

pending before the NLRB or overtly threatened against or affecting RTPS or any
subsidiary which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

agreement, and, to the best knowledge of Raytel and RTPS, no petition for

receivable are subject to setoffs or counterclaims. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, neither Raytel nor RTPS makes any representation or
warranty, other than as contained in this Section 3.19 concerning the

DAMAGES AMOUNT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR A PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING
