Gentlemen:
M.G. Products, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), proposes to issue and sell to you 3,642,076 fully
paid and nonassessable shares of its authorized but heretofore
unissued common stock, no par value per share (hereinafter called
the "Stock"). You have advised the Company that you desire to
purchase the Stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Purchase Agreement.
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK. Subject to the terms and
conditions and upon the representations, warranties and
agreements herein set forth, on September 30, 1996 (the "Closing
Date") the Company agrees to issue and sell the Stock to you and
you agree to purchase the Stock from the Company at a total
purchase price of $2,003,141.85 ($0.55 per share) which will be
paid by the cancellation on the Closing Date of $2,003,141.85 of
our indebtedness to you.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY COMPANY. The Company
represents, warrants and agrees with you that:
(a) The Company is duly organized and validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of California
and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on
its business.
(b) The Company's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 and the Company's Reports on Form 10-
Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1996 (collectively
herein referred to as the "Reports") are attached as Exhibits A,
B and C. The financial statements included in the Reports
(hereafter referred to as the "Financial Statements") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for such Reports, consistently followed throughout the
periods covered. The June 30, 1996 balance sheet fairly presents
the condition of the Company at June 30, 1996 and the statement
of profit and loss for the quarter then ended fairly presents the
results of the operations of the Company for such period.
(c) Neither this Agreement, nor the Financial
Statements, nor any certificate furnished or to be furnished to
you by the Company or any officer thereof, contain or will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and the Company has apprised you of all such facts as
would be relevant to a prudent investor's determination in making
an additional investment in the Company.
(d) To the knowledge of the Company, no fact or
condition exists or is contemplated or threatened which might
result in a material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or
condition (financial or otherwise) or business of the Company in
the future, which have not been disclosed to you in the Financial
Statements, other supporting documents or in discussions.
(e) Since June 30, 1996, the Company has not declared
any cash dividend or declared or made any other distribution on
any of its stock, and has not directly or indirectly, purchased
or otherwise acquired any stock of the Company or agreed to do
so.
(f) Since June 30, 1996, neither the business nor the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, nor any of its
properties or assets has been materially adversely affected in
any way (whether or not insured) as the result of any revocation
of license or right to do business, fire, explosion, labor
trouble, condemnation, Act of God or otherwise.
(g) Except as set forth in the Financial Statements
there is no action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, threatened which might result in
any materially adverse change in the Company's business or
condition (financial or otherwise) or in any of its properties or
assets, or in any liability on the part of the Company (not
covered by insurance), or which questions the validity of this
Agreement or of the Stock or of any action taken or to be taken
by the Company pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.
The Financial Statements set forth accurately and in reasonable
detail all litigation to which the Company is a party at the date
hereof wherein relief sought is other than money damages or if
the only relief sought is money damages, involving an amount in
excess of $50,000.
(h) The Company's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, authorize the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of common
stock of which 10,564,078 shares are outstanding on the date
hereof. Except as shown in the Reports, no rights, options,
warrants or other agreements for the issuance of stock of the
Company, nor any securities convertible into stock of the Company
