(1) Any change in the assets, liabilities, condition
(financial or otherwise), operating results, business or prospects of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries from that reflected in the Financial

prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
(2) Any material change in the contingent obligations of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by way of guaranty, endorsement,

k. TAX MATTERS. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed
all necessary federal and state property, income and franchise tax returns and
has paid all taxes shown as due thereon or otherwise owed by it to any taxing
authority except those contested in good faith and for which appropriate amounts
have been reserved in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
and there is no tax deficiency which has been, or to the best knowledge of the
Company might be, asserted against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which
would materially affect the assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
otherwise), operating results, business or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The provision for taxes of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as shown in the Financial Statements is adequate for taxes due or
accrued as of the Statement Date thereof. The Company has not made any
elections pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), other than elections that relate solely to methods of accounting,
depreciation or amortization, that would have a material effect on the assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operating results, business or
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Since the
Statement Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries has made adequate provisions on
its books of account for all taxes, assessments and governmental charges with
respect to its business, properties and operations for such period. The Company
and its Subsidiaries have withheld or collected from each payment made to each
of its employees, the amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to,
federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal
Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and
has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or authorized
depositories. The Company is not a real property holding company within the
meaning of Section 897 of the Code. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the
Company is a "qualified small business" within the meaning of Section 1202(d) of
the Code.
l. TITLE TO PROPERTIES AND ASSETS; LIENS, ETC. Set forth in the
Schedule of Exceptions is a list which includes all material assets and
properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries
8
as of September 30, 1997. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have good
title to all of their respective properties and assets, both real and personal,
tangible and intangible, reflected on the balance sheets included in the
Financial Statements or acquired after the date thereof (except inventory or
other personal property disposed of in the ordinary course of business
subsequent to the date thereof), and such properties and assets are not subject
to any mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance or charge other
than (i) liens for current taxes not yet due and payable, (ii) liens and
encumbrances that do not materially detract from the value of the property
subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, and (iii) liens securing obligations reflected in the Financial
Statements. With respect to properties or assets it leases or holds pursuant to
a license, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with such
leases and licenses (except for such defaults or breaches that would not have a
material adverse affect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole)
and holds valid leasehold interests or licenses free of any liens, claims or
encumbrances except for those described in subsections (i) through (iii) hereof.
All properties and assets owned, leased or licensed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries are in good operating condition and repair and are reasonably fit
and usable for the purposes for which they are used.
m. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries is in violation or default of (i) any term of its articles of
incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any term or provision of any mortgage, indenture,
contract, agreement, instrument, or contract to which it is a party or by which
it is bound or (iii) any order, judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such violations
or defaults that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially
adversely affect the assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise),
operating results, business or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance
with this Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents, the issuance of the
Shares and Warrants pursuant hereto, and the issuance of the Series B Common
Stock upon conversion of the Series A Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants
(i) will not with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in
any violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, (A) the
articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
(B) any material term or provision of any mortgage, indebtedness, indenture,
contract, agreement, instrument, judgment or decree to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound, or (ii) result in the creation of any mortgage,
pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company, except in the case of (i)(B) and (ii) above, for such violations,
conflicts, defaults, liens, encumbrances and charges that would not, either
individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operating results, business or
prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
n. LITIGATION, ETC. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the Company's best knowledge, currently threatened
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that question the validity of
this Agreement, the Warrants or any Other Transaction Agreement, or the right of
the Company to enter into any such agreement, or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) which might result, individually or in
the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, liabilities,
condition (financial or otherwise), operating results, business or prospects of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any change in the current
equity ownership of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is the Company
aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing includes,
without limitation, actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known
to the Company) involving the prior employment of any of the employees of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, their use in connection with the business of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any information or techniques
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations
under any agreements with prior employers. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of
9
any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries currently
pending or which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries intends to initiate.
o. EMPLOYEES. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees. There is no labor
union organizing activity pending or, to the Company's best knowledge,
threatened with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No employee
has any agreement or contract, written or oral, regarding his employment. To
the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with
whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has contracted, is in violation of
any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any
other contract or agreement relating to the relationship of such employee with
the Company or any other party because of the nature of the business presently
conducted or presently proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries; and to the Company's knowledge, the continued employment by the
Company and its Subsidiaries of their present employees, and the performance of
the contracts of the Company and its Subsidiaries with its independent
contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has not
received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No employee
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been granted the right to
continued employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any
material compensation following termination of employment with the Company or
such Subsidiary. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee, or
that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor does the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries have a present intention to terminate the employment of any
officer, key employee or group of key employees. Each employee and contractor
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who has access to confidential or
proprietary information has executed an Employee Confidentiality and Invention
Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Employee
Benefit Plan as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all
applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity and other laws related
to employment.

rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of
any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any
kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights
and processes of any other person or entity other than such licenses or
agreements arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products.
The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries has violated or, by conducting its business as presently
conducted or as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of
any other person or entity. The Company is not aware that any of the employees
of the Company and its Subsidiaries is obligated under any contract (including
licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject

would interfere with their duties to 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 and its Subsidiaries, nor the conduct of the Company's
business as proposed, will, to the Company's best knowledge, conflict with or
result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a

INDEMNIFICATION
a. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Purchaser, and its officers, directors, managers, members,
shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys, affiliates, successors and assigns,
from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for, any and all claims,
losses, damages (including any diminution in value of any equity held in the
Company by Purchaser), judgments, amounts paid in settlement, costs and legal,
accounting or other expenses (collectively, "Losses") that any of them may
sustain or incur as a result of any misrepresentation, any inaccuracy in, or any
breach of, any warranty or representation or any non-performance of any covenant
or other obligation on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement.
b. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.
(i) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to
indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of any claim or of
the commencement of any action, investigation, suit or proceeding ("Proceeding")
with respect to which such party may make a claim for indemnification hereunder,
the Indemnified Party will notify the party against whom indemnification is
sought (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of such claim or Proceeding, and
the Indemnifying Party may in his or its discretion assume the defense of such
claim or Proceeding, in which case he or it shall employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, an Indemnified Party will
be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel to the Indemnifying Party
and to participate in the defense of such claim or Proceeding at the Indemnified
Party's expense. No settlement or compromise of any claim or Proceeding shall
give rise to liability of the Indemnifying Party unless such party shall have
been notified of any proposed settlement or compromise and shall have consented
thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the written consent of the
Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, prior to
ceasing to defend, settling or otherwise disposing of any such claim or
Proceeding.
18
(ii) In the event that any Indemnified Party suffers a Loss or
otherwise becomes entitled to indemnification hereunder from an Indemnifying
Party in a situation that does not involve a Proceeding being instituted by a
third party, the Indemnified Party shall send notice as it would pursuant to
Section 8.b.(i) in order to provide reasonable notice to the Indemnifying Party
as to the nature and extent of the Loss.
(iii) Any notice of a claim or Proceeding or a claim for indemnity
provided for herein shall be in writing and shall specify, to the extent known
by the Indemnified Party, the nature and extent of the claim or Proceeding and
the amount being asserted as damages or Losses, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to so provide notice on a timely and
adequate basis shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to
indemnify hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party can
establish prejudice to it by the lack of timely or adequate notice.
SECTION 9.
MISCELLANEOUS
a. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by
the internal laws of the State of California.
b. SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made herein shall survive, and shall in no way be affected by, any
investigation made by any Purchaser of the subject matter thereof and the
closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
c. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto;
provided, however, that the rights of a Purchaser to purchase the Series A
Shares and the Warrants shall not be assignable without the consent of the
Company and provided further that the Company may not assign its rights
hereunder.
d. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement, the Exhibits and
Schedules hereto, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto constitute
the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard
to the subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to any
other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except
as specifically set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes the letter of understanding dated
November 25, 1997 among the Company, Spectra 1 and Spectra 2 and Enron, which
shall be of no further force or effect. Except as expressly provided herein,
neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or
terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
e. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger,
addressed (a) if to a Purchaser, at such Purchaser's address as set forth on the
signature page herein, or at such other address as the Purchaser shall have
furnished to the Company in writing or (b) if to the Company, one copy should be
sent to its address as set forth on the cover page of this Agreement and
addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, or at such other address
as the Company shall have furnished to the Purchasers.
19
Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this
Agreement be treated as effective or having been given when delivered if
delivered personally or by messenger, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its
receipt or seventy two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in a
regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail,
addressed and mailed as aforesaid.
f. DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. Except as expressly provided herein, no
delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the
Purchasers upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement shall
impair any such right, power or remedy of the Purchasers nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default or an acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Purchasers of
any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of the
Purchasers of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing
and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such
writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise
afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
g. EXPENSES. The Company shall bear its own expenses incurred with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In
addition, the Company shall reimburse all reasonable costs and expenses of the
Xxxxx Entities and Enron incurred from September 10, 1997 through January 15,
1998 with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, (a) (i) legal fees and customary reimbursable
expenses of Enron's and the Xxxxx Entities' outside legal counsel and (ii) all
out-of-pocket fees, taxes (except income taxes), assessments, duties and other
expenses in connection with the due diligence review and assessment,
negotiation, preparation and review, execution, delivery, performance,
collection and enforcement of this Agreement) up to a maximum of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for the Xxxxx Entities and Enron in the
aggregate, of which up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) shall be
reimbursed to the Xxxxx Entities and up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00)
shall be reimbursed to Enron, unless the Xxxxx Entities and Enron agree to a
different allocation of such expense limits, plus (b) all required filing fees
under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act.
h. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
without said provision.
i. TITLES AND SUBTITLES. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in
construing or interpreting this Agreement.
j. FINDERS.
(1) The Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that,
except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, no person is entitled,
directly or indirectly, to compensation from the Company by reason of any
contract or understanding or contact with the Company as a finder or broker in
connection with the sale and purchase of the Series A Shares or Warrants
contemplated by this Agreement. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold each
Purchaser harmless against and in respect of any claim for brokerage or other
commissions or similar fees relative to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby which arises as a result of a contract or understanding made
by the
20
Company with any such broker or finder in connection with the sale and purchase
of the Series A Shares or Warrants contemplated by this Agreement.
(2) Each Purchaser severally represents and warrants to the
Company that no person is entitled, directly or indirectly, to compensation from
such Purchaser by reason of any contract or understanding or contact with such
Purchaser as a finder or broker in connection with the sale and purchase of the
Series A Shares or Warrants contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser
severally agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against and in
respect of any claim for brokerage or other commissions or similar fees relative
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which arises as a
result of a contract or understanding made by such Purchaser with any such
broker or finder in connection with the sale and purchase of the Series A Shares
or Warrants contemplated by this Agreement.
k. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually
executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.
l. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by
the mutual written consent of the Company, the Xxxxx Entities and Enron, or (ii)
by the Company, the Xxxxx Entities or Enron upon written notice to the others if
the Closing shall not have occurred by January 16, 1998. Termination shall not
affect any rights a party hereto may have by reason of any breach of this
Agreement by another party prior to termination.
m. ADDITIONAL FEES. In the event that (i) the Closing does not occur
on or before January 16, 1998 for any reason other than a breach of this
Agreement by the Xxxxx Entities or Enron, and (ii) on or prior to June 30, 1998,
the Company obtains debt and/or equity financing (either individually or in the
aggregate) of at least $15,000,000, then the Company shall pay a fee of $500,000
to the Xxxxx Entities and $500,000 to Enron. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, no such fee shall be payable in the event that all conditions to the
Closing set forth in Sections 6 and 7 have been satisfied on or before January
16, 1998, other than (a) the condition regarding the financial advisor
agreements in Section 6.p. hereof (unless the Xxxxx Entities and Enron have
agreed to waive such condition) and (b) the conditions that this Agreement and
the Other Transaction Documents be approved by the Managers of Spectra 3 or the
Board of Directors of Enron. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
determination of the damages suffered by Spectra 3 and Enron under such
circumstances are difficult to calculate. The fees provided for by this Section
9.m. are intended to reflect the reasonable expectations of the parties with
respect to such damages incurred by Spectra 3 and Enron, and not as a penalty.
