SECTION 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:
2.1 Organization. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of California and is in good standing under
such laws. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own,
lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as
presently conducted. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its property or the
nature of its business requires such qualification, except where failure to so
qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has
furnished to the Purchaser true and correct copies of its Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date, and will furnish upon request
to the Purchaser true and correct copies of any amendments thereto through the
term of this Agreement.
2.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists
of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which at December 31, 1996, 39,413,102
shares were issued and outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of
which at December 31, 1996, no shares were issued and outstanding. All such
issued and outstanding shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid and nonassessable. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has

2.3 Authorization. The Company has all corporate right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Registration Rights
Agreement") and the Warrants and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its
directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Warrants by the Company, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the
Shares and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the
terms thereof and the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder and
under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants have been taken. This
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants have been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency
and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and to limitations of public
policy as they may apply to Section 7 of the Registration Rights Agreement. Upon
their issuance and delivery pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Upon exercise of the Warrants in
accordance with the terms thereof, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance and sale of the Shares and the
Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants will not give rise to any
preemptive rights or rights of first refusal on behalf of any person in
existence either on the date hereof or immediately prior to the Closing.
2.4 No Conflict. Subject to compliance with the HSR Act, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants
do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or
without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to a loss of a
material benefit, under, any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Company, as amended, or any mortgage, indenture, lease or other
agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment,
order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company, its properties or assets, the effect of which would have a material
adverse effect on the Company or materially impair or restrict its power to
perform its obligations as contemplated hereby or thereby.
2.5 Accuracy of Reports. The Company has, since November 29, 1995, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") all forms, reports and
documents (collectively, the "SEC Reports") which it has been required to file
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the SEC Reports
complied as of its filing date in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act. Except as subsequently disclosed or corrected
in an SEC Report filed prior to the date of this Agreement, none of such SEC
Reports, including without limitation, any financial statement or schedule
included therein, contained at the time filed any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
