                     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

          THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "AGREEMENT") is
entered into as of this 19th day of December, 1997, by and between IMGIS, Inc.,
a California corporation ("ACQUIRER"), and StarPoint Software, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("TARGET").

                                   RECITALS

     A.   The parties intend that, subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, Target merge with and into Acquirer in a statutory
merger (the "MERGER"), with Acquirer to be the surviving corporation, all
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and an Agreement of
Merger substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (the "AGREEMENT OF MERGER") and
the applicable provisions of the laws of the States of California and
Delaware. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, all outstanding capital stock
of Target ("TARGET STOCK") will be converted into capital stock of Acquirer
("ACQUIRER STOCK"), and Acquirer will assume all outstanding options to
purchase shares of capital stock of Target, as provided in this Agreement and
the Agreement of Merger.

     B.   The Merger is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization
pursuant to the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "CODE").

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1.   PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

          1.1  THE MERGER.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Target will be merged with and into Acquirer pursuant to this
Agreement and the Agreement of Merger and in accordance with applicable
provisions of the laws of the States of California and Delaware as follows:

               1.1.1  CONVERSION OF SHARES.  Each share of Common Stock of
Target ("TARGET COMMON STOCK") issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the filing of the Agreement of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of California (the "EFFECTIVE TIME"), other than shares, if any, for
which dissenters rights have been or will be perfected in compliance with
applicable law, and other than the Repurchased Shares (as defined in
Section 1.1.5), will by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and
without further action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted into
the right to receive one-sixth (1/6th) (the "APPLICABLE FRACTION") of a fully
paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of Acquirer ("ACQUIRER COMMON
STOCK").  Each share of Preferred Stock of Target ("TARGET PREFERRED STOCK")
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than
shares, if any, for

<PAGE>

which dissenters rights have been or will be perfected in compliance with
applicable law, will by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, and
without further action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted into
and represent the right to receive the Applicable Fraction of a fully paid
and nonassessable share of Series C Preferred Stock of Acquirer ("ACQUIRER
PREFERRED STOCK").  The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
setting forth the terms of the Acquirer Preferred Stock of Acquirer are
attached as EXHIBIT 1.1.1.

               1.1.2  ASSUMPTION OF RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The
shares of Acquirer Common Stock issued to each person listed on EXHIBIT 1.1.2
will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the restricted
stock purchase agreement that applied to the shares of Target Common Stock
held by such person prior to the Effective Time, except for the adjustments
in the number of shares described above.  At the Effective Time, each such
person will have the repurchase option contained in the restricted stock
purchase agreement released as to 22/48ths of such shares.  No additional
shares will vest under such restricted stock purchase agreement until such
person completes nine (9) months of continuous employment at Acquirer, at
which time an additional 9/48ths of such shares will vest, with the balance
of such shares to vest 1/48th of such shares every month thereafter for so
long as such holder is continuously employed at Acquirer.  If any of the
persons listed on EXHIBIT 1.1.2 dies, becomes disabled or is terminated
without cause during such person's first nine (9) months of continuous
employment with Acquirer, an additional 6/48ths of such shares will vest,
after which time there will be no additional vesting of such shares.  For
purposes of this Section, "cause" for an employee's termination will exist at
any time after the happening of one or more of the following events:
(a) employee's repeated failure or a refusal to comply in any material
respect with the reasonable policies, standards or regulations of Acquirer
after reasonable notice from Acquirer; (b) employee's unprofessional,
unethical or fraudulent conduct or conduct that materially discredits
Acquirer or is materially detrimental to the reputation, character or
standing of Acquirer; (c) employee's dishonest conduct or a deliberate
attempt to do an injury to Acquirer; (d) employee's material breach of a term
of this Agreement or the employee's invention assignment agreement,
including, without limitation, employee's theft of Acquirer's proprietary
information; and (e) employee's unlawful or criminal act which would reflect
badly on Acquirer in Acquirer's reasonable judgment.

                1.1.3  ADJUSTMENTS FOR CAPITAL CHANGES.  If prior to the
Merger Acquirer or Target recapitalizes through a split-up of its outstanding
shares into a greater number, or a combination of its outstanding shares into
a lesser number, reorganizes, reclassifies or otherwise changes its
outstanding shares into the same or a different number of shares of other
classes (other than through a split-up or combination of shares provided for
in the previous clause), or declares a dividend on its outstanding shares
payable in shares or securities convertible into shares, the number of shares
of Acquirer Common Stock into which the Target shares are to be converted
will be adjusted appropriately so as to maintain the proportionate interests
of the holders of the Target shares and the holders of Acquirer shares. 
Acquirer contemplates effecting a 2-for-1 split of Acquirer Common Stock
prior to the Closing, which will trigger the adjustments described herein.


                                       2

<PAGE>

                1.1.4  DISSENTING SHARES.  Holders of shares of Target Stock
who have complied with all requirements for perfecting stockholders' rights
of appraisal, as set forth in Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law ("DELAWARE LAW"), shall be entitled to their rights under the Delaware
Law with respect to such shares ("DISSENTING SHARES").

                1.1.5  REPURCHASED SHARES.  Immediately prior to the
Effective Time, Acquirer will purchase 225,000 shares of Target Common Stock
held by Audrey MacLean (the "REPURCHASED SHARES"), and Audrey MacLean will
sell such shares to Acquirer, for an aggregate purchase price of $112,500 or
$0.50 per share of Target Common Stock, payment to be made using a promissory
note in substantially the form of EXHIBIT 1.1.5.

          1.2  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares of Acquirer Common
Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof each
holder of Target Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of Acquirer Common Stock will receive from Acquirer, upon
surrender of a certificate or certificates representing Target Common Stock,
an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction
by $0.50.  No fractional shares of Acquirer Preferred Stock will be issued in
connection with the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of Target
Preferred Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of Acquirer Preferred Stock will receive from Acquirer, upon surrender
of a certificate or certificates representing Target Preferred Stock, an
amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by
$4.73.  Acquirer will, subject to any applicable statute of limitation or
abandoned property or similar law, until three years after the Effective
Time, pay to such holders, upon surrender of their certificate or
certificates representing Target Common Stock or Target Preferred Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the cash value of such
fractions so determined, without interest.

          1.3  TARGET OPTIONS.

               1.3.1  At the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding
option (collectively, the "TARGET OPTIONS") to purchase Target Common Stock
granted under Target's 1996 Stock Plan (the "TARGET PLAN") shall be entitled,
in accordance with the terms of such Target Option, to purchase after the
Effective Time that number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock, determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such
Target Option at the Effective Time by the Applicable Fraction, and the
exercise price per share for each such Option will equal the exercise price
of the Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the
Applicable Fraction.  If the foregoing calculation results in an assumed
option being exercisable for a fraction of a share, then the number of shares
of Acquirer Common Stock subject to such option will be rounded down to the
nearest whole number with no cash being payable for such fractional share. 
EXHIBIT 1.3.1 sets forth a true and complete list as of the date hereof of
all holders of Target Options, including the number of shares of Target
Common Stock subject to such options, a breakdown as between vested and
unvested options, the exercise price per share and the expiration date of
such options.

               1.3.2  Each Target Option so assumed by Acquirer will continue
to have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set
forth in the documents


                                       3

<PAGE>

governing such Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except
for the adjustments in the number of shares subject to such option and the
exercise price of such option described above, and except that no additional
shares will vest under such Target Option until the holder of such Target
option completes nine (9) months of continuous employment at Acquirer, at
which time an additional 9/48ths of the shares subject to such Target Option
will vest, with 1/48th of the shares subject to such Target Option to vest
every month thereafter for so long as such holder is continuously employed at
Acquirer.

               1.3.3  Consistent with the terms of the Target Options and the
documents governing the Target Options, the Merger will not terminate or
accelerate any Target Option or any right of exercise, vesting or repurchase
relating thereto with respect to shares of Acquirer Common Stock acquired
upon exercise of such Target Option; provided that each holder of a Target
Option execute a document in substantially the form of EXHIBIT 1.3.3
evidencing such holder's consent to the vesting provisions set forth above. 
In the event that any holder does not so consent, such holder's option will
terminate at the Effective Time.

          1.4  ESCROW AGREEMENT.  At the closing of the Merger (the
"CLOSING"), Acquirer will withhold ten percent (10%) of the shares of
Acquirer Common Stock and ten percent (10%) of the shares of Acquirer
Preferred Stock to be issued to the stockholders of Target (the "TARGET
STOCKHOLDERS") in accordance with Section 1.1 (rounded down to the nearest
whole number of shares) to be issued to each Target Stockholder, and deliver
such shares (the "ESCROW SHARES") to The First National Bank of Boston (the
"ESCROW AGENT"), as escrow agent, to be held by Escrow Agent as collateral
for Target's indemnification obligations under Section 10.2 and pursuant to
the provisions of an escrow agreement (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT") in substantially
the form of EXHIBIT 1.4.  The Escrow Shares will be represented by a
certificate or certificates issued in the name of the Escrow Agent and will
be held by the Escrow Agent from the Closing until the date that is one year
after the Closing Date (as defined in Section 6.1) (the "ESCROW PERIOD").  In
the event that the Merger is approved by the Target Stockholders as provided
herein, the Target Stockholders shall, without any further act of any Target
Stockholder, be deemed to have consented to and approved (i) the use of the
Escrow Shares as collateral for Target's indemnification obligations under
Section 10.2 in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement, (ii) the
appointment of Michael Tanne as the representative of the Target Stockholders
(the "REPRESENTATIVE") under the Escrow Agreement and as the attorney-in-fact
and agent for and on behalf of each Target Stockholder (other than holders of
Dissenting Shares), and the taking by the Representative of any and all
actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by
him under the Escrow Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise
of the power to: authorize delivery to Acquirer of Escrow Shares in
satisfaction of claims by Acquirer; agree to, negotiate, enter into
settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration and comply with orders
of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims; resolve any
claim made pursuant to Section 10.2; and take all actions necessary in the
judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing),
(iii) all of the other terms, conditions and limitations in the Escrow
Agreement, including, without limitation, the $25,000 basket described
therein.

          1.5  EFFECTS OF THE MERGER.  At the Effective Time: (a) the
separate existence of Target will cease and Target will be merged with and
into Acquirer, and Acquirer will be the surviving corporation, pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement of Merger, (b) the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws of Acquirer will continue unchanged to be the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of the surviving corporation, (c) each share of Acquirer Common
Stock and Acquirer Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will continue to be an identical outstanding share,
respectively, of the surviving corporation, (d) the Board of Directors and
officers of Acquirer will remain unchanged, (e) each share of Target Common
Stock and Target Preferred Stock and each Target Option outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted or assumed as
provided in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3; and (f) the Merger will, from and
after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by applicable law.

          1.6  FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Target agrees that if, at any time after
the Effective Time, Acquirer considers or is advised that any further deeds,
assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to vest,
perfect or confirm in Acquirer title to any property or rights of Target,
Acquirer and its proper officers and directors may execute and deliver all
such proper deeds, assignments and assurances and do all other things
necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or
rights in Acquirer and otherwise to carry out the purpose of this Agreement,
in the name of Target or otherwise.

          1.7  TAX FREE REORGANIZATION.

               1.7.1  The parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a plan of
reorganization and to consummate the Merger in accordance with the provisions
of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.  The parties believe that the value of
the Acquirer Stock to be received in the Merger is equal, in each instance,
to the value of the Target Stock to be surrendered in exchange therefor.  The
Acquirer Stock issued in the Merger will be issued solely in exchange for the
Target Stock, and no other transaction other than the Merger represents,
provides for or is intended to be an adjustment to, the consideration paid
for the Target Stock.  Except for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, for
the Repurchased Shares or for Dissenting Shares, no consideration that could
constitute "other property" within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code is
being paid by Acquirer for the Target Stock in the Merger.  The parties shall
comply with the information requirements of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.368-3, and shall not take a position on any tax returns
inconsistent with this Section 1.7.1.  In addition, Acquirer represents now,
and as of the Closing Date, that it presently intends to continue Target's
historic business or use a significant portion of Target's business assets in
a business.  At the Closing, officers of each of Acquirer and Target shall
execute and deliver officers' certificates as requested by counsel to Target
and Acquirer pursuant to Sections 7.7 or 8.19, respectively.  The provisions
and representations contained or referred to in this Section 1.7 shall
survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

               1.7.2  In the event of the issuance of final or temporary
Treasury regulations relating to the continuity of shareholder interest (on
which topic proposed regulations were issued in the Federal Register on
December 23, 1996  (Reg-252231-96) that would, among


                                       5

<PAGE>

other things, add a new section 1.368-1(e) to the existing regulations), the
parties agree to use their reasonable best efforts to take advantage of, and
comply with, any provisions therein (such as an election and/or reporting
requirements) to the extent necessary to cause such regulations to apply to
the Merger.

          1.8  PURCHASE ACCOUNTING.  The parties intend that the Merger be
treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.

principal and accrued interest amount of $1,112,659, a total of 1,854,432
shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be issued and outstanding.  An
aggregate of 741,000 shares of Target Common Stock are reserved and
authorized for issuance pursuant to the Target Plan, of which options to
purchase a total of 144,172 shares of Target Common Stock are outstanding. 
All issued and outstanding shares of Target Stock have been, and at the

state securities laws.  A list of all holders of Target Stock and the number
of shares held by each has been delivered by Target to Acquirer herewith as
EXHIBIT 2.3A, and a list of all holders of options to purchase Target Stock,
and the number of options held by each has been delivered by Target to
Acquirer as EXHIBIT 1.3.1.  A list of all the holders of warrants to purchase

EXHIBIT 2.3B, there are no options, warrants, calls, commitments, conversion
privileges or preemptive or other rights or agreements outstanding to
purchase any of Target's authorized but unissued capital stock or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Target Stock or
obligating Target to grant, extend, or enter into any such option, warrant,
call, right, commitment, conversion privilege or other right or agreement,
and there is no liability for dividends accrued but unpaid.  There are no
voting agreements, rights of first refusal or other restrictions (other than
normal restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities
laws) applicable to any of Target's outstanding securities.  Target is not
under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its
presently outstanding securities or any securities that may be subsequently
issued.

          2.4  SUBSIDIARIES.  Except as provided in SCHEDULE 2.4 of the
Schedule of Exceptions, Target does not have any subsidiaries or any
interest, direct or indirect, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture
or other business entity (each a "SUBSIDIARY").

          2.5  NO VIOLATION OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS.  Neither the execution
and delivery of this Agreement nor any Target Ancillary Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will conflict with, or
(with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a termination,
breach, impairment or violation of (a) any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Target or any Subsidiary, as currently in effect,
(b) in any material


                                       7

<PAGE>

respect, any material instrument or contract to which Target or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which Target or any Subsidiary is bound, or
(c) any federal, state, local or foreign judgment, writ, decree, order,
statute, rule or regulation applicable to Target or any Subsidiary or their
respective assets or properties.  The consummation of the Merger and the
transfer to Acquirer of all material rights, licenses, franchises, leases and
agreements of Target and each Subsidiary will not require the consent of any
third party.

          2.6  LITIGATION.  There is no action, proceeding, claim or
investigation pending against Target or any Subsidiary before any court or
administrative agency that if determined adversely to Target or any
Subsidiary may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the present or future operations or financial condition of Target or any
Subsidiary, nor, to the best of Target's knowledge, has any such action,
proceeding, claim or investigation been threatened.  There is, to the best of
Target's knowledge, no reasonable basis for any stockholder or former
stockholder of Target, or any other person, firm, corporation, or entity, to
assert a claim against Target or Acquirer based upon: (a) ownership or rights
to ownership of any shares of Target Stock (except for dissenter's rights
with respect to shares of Acquirer Stock issuable by virtue of the Merger),
(b) any rights as a Target Stockholder, including any option or preemptive
rights or rights to notice or to vote, or (c) any rights under any agreement
among Target and its stockholders.

          2.7  TAXES.  Target and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all
federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed, has paid
all taxes required to be paid in respect of all periods for which returns
have been filed or has established an adequate accrual or reserve for the
payment of all such taxes, and has no material liability for taxes in excess
of the amount so paid or accruals or reserves so established.  Neither Target
nor any Subsidiary is delinquent in the payment of any material tax or is
delinquent in the filing of any material tax returns, and no deficiencies for
any tax have been threatened, claimed, proposed or assessed.  No tax return
of Target or any Subsidiary has ever been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state taxing agency or authority, nor has Target or any
Subsidiary received any notice that they will be audited, nor has Target or
any Subsidiary granted the Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing
agency or authority an extension to any applicable statute of limitation nor
has Target or any Subsidiary has been asked to do so.  For the purposes of
this Agreement, the terms "TAX" and "TAXES" include all federal, state, local
and foreign income, gains, franchise, excise, property, sales, use,
employment, license, payroll, occupation, recording, value added or transfer
taxes, governmental charges, fees, levies or assessments (whether payable
directly or by withholding), and, with respect to such taxes, any estimated
tax, interest and penalties or additions to tax and interest on such
penalties and additions to tax.

          2.8  TARGET FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  Target has delivered to Acquirer
as EXHIBIT 2.8 Target's audited balance sheet as of October 31, 1997 (the
"BALANCE SHEET") and income statement and statement of cash flows for the
period then ended (collectively the "TARGET FINANCIAL STATEMENTS").  The
Target Financial Statements (a) are in accordance with the books and records
of Target, (b) fairly present the financial condition of Target at the date
therein indicated and the results of operations for the period therein
specified and (c) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. 


                                       8

<PAGE>

Target has no material debt, liability or obligation of any nature, whether
accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due,
that is not reflected or reserved against in the Target Financial Statements,
except for those that may have been incurred after the date of the Target
Financial Statements in the ordinary course of its business, consistent with
past practice and that are not material in amount either individually or
collectively.

          2.9  TITLE TO PROPERTIES.  Target has good and marketable title to
all of its assets as shown on the Balance Sheet, free and clear of all liens,
charges, restrictions or encumbrances (other than for taxes not yet due and
payable).  All machinery and equipment included in such properties is in good
condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, and all leases of real
or personal property to which Target or any Subsidiary is a party are fully
effective and afford Target or the Subsidiary peaceful and undisturbed
possession of the subject matter of the lease.  Neither Target nor any
Subsidiary is in violation of any zoning, building, safety or environmental
ordinance, regulation or requirement or other law or regulation applicable to
the operation of owned or leased properties (the violation of which would
have a material adverse effect on its business), or has received any notice
of violation with which it has not complied.

          2.10 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES.  Since the date of the Balance
Sheet, there has not been with respect to Target or any Subsidiary:

               (a)  any change in the financial condition, properties,
assets, liabilities, business or operations thereof which change by itself or
in conjunction with all other such changes, whether or not arising in the
ordinary course of business, has had or will have a material adverse effect
thereon;

               (b)  any contingent liability incurred thereby as guarantor or
otherwise with respect to the obligations of others;

               (c)  any mortgage, encumbrance or lien placed on any of the
properties thereof;

               (d)  any material obligation or liability incurred thereby
other than obligations and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business;

               (e)  any purchase or sale or other disposition, or any
agreement or other arrangement for the purchase, sale or other disposition,
of any of the properties or assets thereof other than in the ordinary course
of business;

               (f)  any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered
by insurance, materially and adversely affecting the properties, assets or
business thereof;

               (g)  any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend
on, or the making of any other distribution in respect of, the capital stock
thereof, any split, combination or recapitalization of the capital stock
thereof or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition
of the capital stock thereof;


                                       9

<PAGE>

               (h)  any labor dispute or claim of unfair labor practices, any
change in the compensation payable or to become payable to any of its
officers, employees or agents, or any bonus payment or arrangement made to or
with any of such officers, employees or agents;

               (i)  any change with respect to the management, supervisory or
other key personnel thereof;

               (j)  any payment or discharge of a material lien or liability
thereof which lien was not either shown on the Balance Sheet or incurred in
the ordinary course of business thereafter; or

               (k)  any obligation or liability incurred thereby to any of
its officers, directors or stockholders or any loans or advances made thereby
to any of its officers, directors or stockholders except normal compensation
and expense allowances payable to officers.

          2.11 CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS.  Neither Target nor any Subsidiary
has any contract, obligation or commitment which is material to the business
of Target or any Subsidiary or which involves a potential commitment in
excess of $25,000 or any stock redemption or purchase agreement, financing
agreement, license, lease or franchise.  Neither Target nor any Subsidiary is
in default in any material respect under any contract, obligation or
commitment that is otherwise material to the business of Target or a
Subsidiary.  Neither Target nor any Subsidiary is a party to any contract or
arrangement which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on its business or prospects.  Neither Target nor any
Subsidiary has any material liability for renegotiation of government
contracts or subcontracts, if any.

          2.12 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.  Target and its Subsidiaries own, or
have the right to use, sell or license all material Intellectual Property
Rights (as defined below) necessary or required for the conduct of their
respective businesses as presently conducted (such Intellectual Property
Rights being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "TARGET IP RIGHTS")
and such rights to use, sell or license are reasonably sufficient for such
conduct of their respective businesses.  The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not constitute a material breach of any instrument
or agreement governing any Target IP Right (the "TARGET IP RIGHTS
AGREEMENTS"), will not cause the forfeiture or termination or give rise to a
right of forfeiture or termination of any Target IP Right or materially
impair the right of Target or any Subsidiaries to use, sell or license any
Target IP Right or portion thereof (except where such breach, forfeiture or
termination would not have a material adverse effect on Target and the Target
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).  There are no royalties, honoraria, fees or
other payments payable by Target to any person by reason of the ownership,
use, license, sale or disposition of the Target IP Rights (other than as set
forth in the Target IP Rights Agreements listed in EXHIBIT 2.12). Neither the
manufacture, marketing, license, sale or intended use of any product
currently licensed or sold by Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries or
currently under development by Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries
violates any license or agreement between Target or any of the Target
Subsidiaries and any third


                                       10

<PAGE>

party or infringes any Intellectual Property Right of any other party; and
there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of Target, threatened claim or
litigation contesting the validity, ownership or right to use, sell, license
or dispose of any Target IP Right nor, to the best knowledge of Target, is
there any basis for any such claim, nor has Target received any notice
asserting that any Target IP Right or the proposed use, sale, license or
disposition thereof conflicts or will conflict with the rights of any other
party, nor, to the best knowledge of Target, is there any basis for any such
assertion.  Target has taken reasonable and practicable steps designed to
safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of, and its
proprietary rights in, all material Target IP Rights.  All officers,
employees and consultants of Target and each Subsidiary have executed and
delivered to Target or the Subsidiary an agreement regarding the protection
of proprietary information and the assignment to Target or the Subsidiary of
all Intellectual Property Rights arising from the services performed for
Target or the Subsidiary by such persons.  Exhibit 2.12 contains a list of
all applications, registrations, filings and other formal actions made or
taken pursuant to federal, state and foreign laws by Target to perfect or
protect its interest in Target IP Rights, including, without limitation, all
patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications and service
marks.  As used herein, the term "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY  RIGHTS" shall mean
all worldwide industrial and intellectual property rights, including, without
limitation, patents, patent applications, patent rights, trademarks,
trademark applications, trade names, domain names, service marks, service
mark applications, copyright, copyright applications, franchises, licenses,
inventories, know-how, trade secrets, customer lists, proprietary processes
and formulae, all source and object code, algorithms, architecture,
structure, display screens, layouts, inventions, development tools and all
documentation and media constituting, describing or relating to the above,
including, without limitation, manuals, memoranda and records.

          2.13 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  Target and each of its Subsidiaries has
complied, or prior to the Closing Date will have complied, and is or will be
at the Closing Date in full compliance, in all material respects with all
applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules, and all orders, writs,
injunctions, awards, judgments, and decrees applicable to it or to the
assets, properties and business thereof (the violation of which would have a
material adverse effect upon its business), including, without limitation:
(a) all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations; (b) all
applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and all
orders, writs, injunctions, awards, judgments, and decrees pertaining to
(i) the sale, licensing, leasing, ownership or management of its owned,
leased or licensed real or personal property, products and technical data,
(ii) employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment,
and wages and hours and (iii) safety, health, fire prevention, environmental
protection, toxic waste disposal, building standards, zoning and other
similar matters; (c) the Export Administration Act and regulations
promulgated thereunder and all other laws, regulations, rules, orders, writs,
injunctions, judgments and decrees applicable to the export or re-export of
controlled commodities or technical data; and (d) the Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986.  Each of Target and the Subsidiaries has received all
permits and approvals from, and has made all filings with, third parties,
including government agencies and authorities, that are necessary in
connection with its present business.  To the best of Target's knowledge,
there are no legal or administrative proceedings or investigations pending or
threatened, that, if enacted or determined adversely to Target or any
Subsidiary, would result in any material adverse change in the present or
future operations or financial condition thereof.

          2.14 CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS.  None of the officers or
directors of Target or any Subsidiary, nor any member of their immediate
families, has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation that competes with Target (except with respect to any interest in
less than one percent of the stock of any corporation whose stock is publicly
traded).  None of said officers or directors, or any member of their
immediate families, is directly or indirectly interested in any contract or
informal arrangement with Target or any Subsidiary, except for normal
compensation for services as an officer, director or employee thereof.  None
of said officers or directors or family members has any interest in any
property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, including inventions,
patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade names or trade secrets, used in or
pertaining to the business of Target or any Subsidiary, except for the normal
rights of a stockholder.

          2.15 EMPLOYEES, ERISA AND OTHER COMPLIANCE.

               2.15.1  Except as set forth in EXHIBIT 2.15.1, neither Target
nor any Subsidiary has any employment contracts or consulting agreements
currently in effect that are not terminable at will (other than agreements
with the sole purpose of providing for the confidentiality of proprietary
information or assignment of inventions).  All officers, employees and
consultants of Target and the Subsidiaries having access to proprietary
information have executed and delivered to Target or the Subsidiary an
agreement regarding the protection of such proprietary information and the
assignment of inventions to Target or the Subsidiary; copies of all such
agreements have been delivered to Acquirer's counsel.

               2.15.2  To the best of Target's knowledge, neither Target nor
any Subsidiary (i) has ever been or is now subject to a union organizing
effort, (ii) is subject to any collective bargaining agreement with respect
to any of its employees, (iii) is subject to any other contract, written or
oral, with any trade or labor union, employees' association or similar
organization, or (iv) has any current labor disputes.  Target and each of its
Subsidiaries has good labor relations, and has no knowledge of any facts
indicating that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
have a material adverse effect on such labor relations, and has no knowledge
that any of its key employees intends to leave its employ.

               2.15.3  EXHIBIT 2.15.3 identifies (i) each "employee benefit
plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and (ii) all other written or formal plans
or agreements involving direct or indirect compensation or benefits (including
any employment agreements entered into between Target or any Subsidiary and
any employee of Target or any Subsidiary, but excluding workers' compensation,
unemployment compensation and other government-mandated programs) currently
or previously maintained, contributed to or entered into by Target or any
Subsidiary under which Target or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (as
defined below) thereof has any present or future obligation or liability
(collectively, the "TARGET EMPLOYEE PLANS").  For purposes of this Section 2.15,
"ERISA AFFILIATE" shall mean any entity which is a member of (A) a
"controlled group of corporations," as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code,
(B) a group of entities under "common control," as defined in Section 414(c)
of the Code, or (C) an "affiliated


                                       12

<PAGE>

service group," as defined in Section 414(m) of the Code, or treasury
regulations promulgated under Section 414(o) of the Code, any of which
includes Target or any Subsidiary.  Copies of all Target Employee Plans (and,
if applicable, related trust agreements) and all amendments thereto and
written interpretations thereof (including summary plan descriptions) have
been delivered to Acquirer or its counsel, together with the three most
recent annual reports (Form 5500, including, if applicable, Schedule B
thereto) prepared in connection with any such Target Employee Plan.  All
Target Employee Plans which individually or collectively would constitute an
"employee pension benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA
(collectively, the "TARGET PENSION PLANS"), are identified as such in
EXHIBIT 2.15.3.  All contributions due from Target or any Subsidiary with
respect to any of the Target Employee Plans have been made as required under
ERISA or have been accrued on Target's or any such Target Subsidiary's
financial statements as of the date of the Balance Sheet. Each Target
Employee Plan has been maintained substantially in compliance with its terms
and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules
and regulations, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code, which are
applicable to such Target Employee Plans.

               2.15.4  No Target Pension Plan constitutes, or has since the
enactment of ERISA constituted, a "multiemployer plan," as defined in
Section 3(37) of ERISA.  No Target Pension Plans are subject to Title IV of
ERISA.  No "prohibited transaction," as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred with respect to any Target Employee
Plan which is covered by Title I of ERISA which would result in a material
liability to Target and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, excluding
transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption. 
Nothing done or omitted to be done and no transaction or holding of any asset
under or in connection with any Target Employee Plan has or will make Target
or any officer or director of Target subject to any material liability under
Title I of ERISA or liable for any material tax (as defined in Section 2.7)
or penalty pursuant to Sections 4972, 4975, 4976 or 4979 of the Code or
Section 502 of ERISA.

               2.15.5  Any Target Pension Plan which is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (a "TARGET 401(a) PLAN") is so
qualified and has been so qualified during the period from its adoption to
date, and the trust forming a part thereof is exempt from tax pursuant to
Section 501(a) of the Code.  Target has delivered to Acquirer or its counsel
a complete and correct copy of the most recent Internal Revenue Service
determination opinion or advisory letter with respect to each Target 401(a)
Plan.

               2.15.6  EXHIBIT 2.15.6 lists each employment, severance or
other similar contract, arrangement or policy and each plan or arrangement
(written or oral) providing for insurance coverage (including any
self-insured arrangements), workers' benefits, vacation benefits, severance
benefits, disability benefits, death benefits, hospitalization benefits,
retirement benefits, deferred compensation, profit-sharing, bonuses, stock
options, stock purchase, phantom stock, stock appreciation or other forms of
incentive compensation or post-retirement insurance, compensation or benefits
for employees, consultants or directors which (A) is entered into, maintained
or contributed to, as the case may be, by Target or any Subsidiary and
(B) covers any employee or former employee of Target or any Subsidiary.  Such
contracts, plans and arrangements as are described in this Section 2.15.6 are
herein referred to collectively as the


                                       13

<PAGE>

"TARGET BENEFIT ARRANGEMENTS."  Each Target Benefit Arrangement has been
maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements
prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and regulations which are
applicable to such Target Benefit Arrangement.  Target has delivered to
Acquirer or its counsel a complete and correct copy or description of each
Target Benefit Arrangement.

               2.15.7  There has been no amendment to, written interpretation
or announcement (whether or not written) by Target or any Subsidiary relating
to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Target
Employee Plan or Target Benefit Arrangement that would increase materially
the expense of maintaining such Target Employee Plan or Target Benefit
Arrangement above the level of the expense incurred in respect thereof for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

               2.15.8  Target has provided, or will have provided prior to
the Closing, to individuals entitled thereto all required notices and
coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), with respect to any
"qualifying event" (as defined in Section 4980B(f)(3) of the Code) occurring
prior to and including the Closing Date, and no material Tax payable on
account of Section 4980B of the Code has been incurred with respect to any
current or former employees (or their beneficiaries) of Target or any
Subsidiary.

               2.15.9  No benefit payable or which may become payable by
Target or any Subsidiary pursuant to any Target Employee Plan or any Target
Benefit Arrangement or as a result of or arising under this Agreement shall
constitute an "excess parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of
the Code) which is subject to the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999
of the Code or which would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the
Code.

               2.15.10  Target and each Target Subsidiary is in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable laws, agreements and contracts
relating to employment, employment practices, wages, hours, and terms and
conditions of employment, including, but not limited to, employee
compensation matters, but not including ERISA.

               2.15.11  To the best of Target's knowledge, no employee of
Target or an Subsidiary is in violation of any term of any employment
contract, patent disclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement, or any restrictive covenant relating to the right of
any such employee to be employed thereby, or to use trade secrets or
proprietary information of others, and the employment of such employees does
not subject Target or any Subsidiary to any liability.

               2.15.12  A list of all employees, officers and consultants of
Target and the Subsidiaries and their current compensation is set forth on
EXHIBIT 2.15.12, which has been delivered to Acquirer.


                                       14

<PAGE>

               2.15.13  Neither Target nor any Subsidiary is a party to any
(a) agreement with any executive officer or other key employee thereof (i) the
benefits of which are contingent, or the terms of which are materially
altered, upon the occurrence of a transaction involving Target in the nature
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Agreement
of Merger, (ii) providing any term of employment or compensation guarantee,
or (iii) providing severance benefits or other benefits after the termination
of employment of such employee regardless of the reason for such termination
of employment, or (b) agreement or plan, including, without limitation, any
stock option plan, stock appreciation rights plan or stock purchase plan, any
of the benefits of which will be materially increased, or the vesting of
benefits of which will be materially accelerated, by the occurrence of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Agreement of Merger
or the value of any of the benefits of which will be calculated on the basis
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Agreement
of Merger.

          2.16 CORPORATE DOCUMENTS.  Target has made available to Acquirer
for examination all documents and information listed in the Target Schedule
of Exceptions or other Exhibits called for by this Agreement which has been
requested by Acquirer's legal counsel, including, without limitation, the
following:  (a) copies of Target's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as

reflecting all stock issuances and transfers; and (d) all permits, orders and

securities of Target, and all applications for such permits, orders and
consents.

          2.17 NO BROKERS.  Neither Target nor any of its stockholders (the
"TARGET STOCKHOLDERS") is obligated for the payment of fees or expenses of
any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the origin,
negotiation or execution of this Agreement or the Agreement of Merger or in
connection with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.

          2.18 DISCLOSURE.  Neither this Agreement, its exhibits and
schedules, nor any of the certificates or documents to be delivered by Target
to Acquirer under this Agreement, taken together, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading.

          2.19 INFORMATION SUPPLIED.  None of the information supplied or to

               (f)  Contract containing covenants purporting to limit
Target's or any Subsidiary's freedom to compete in any line of business in

               All agreements, contracts, plans, leases, instruments,
arrangements, licenses and commitments listed in the Target Schedule of
Exceptions identified to this Section 2.20 are valid and in full force and
effect.  Neither Target nor any Subsidiary is, nor, to the knowledge of
Target, is any other party thereto, in breach or default in any material
respect under the terms of any such agreement, contract, plan, lease,
instrument, arrangement, license or commitment, which breach or default may

regulation or order relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental
conditions on, under or about such properties or facilities, including, but
not limited to, soil and ground water condition.  During the time that Target
or any Subsidiary have owned or leased their respective properties and
facilities, neither Target nor any Subsidiary nor, to Target's knowledge, any
third party, has used, generated, manufactured or stored on, under or about
such properties or facilities or transported to or from such properties or
facilities any Hazardous Materials.

          2.23.3  During the time that Target or any Subsidiary have owned or
leased their respective properties and facilities, there has been no
litigation brought or threatened against Target or any Subsidiary by, or any
settlement reached by Target or any Subsidiary with, any party or parties
alleging the presence, disposal, release or threatened release of any
Hazardous Materials on, from or under any of such properties or facilities.

          2.24 INTERESTED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.  No officer or director of
Target or any "affiliate" or "associate" (as those terms are defined in Rule 405
promulgated under the Securities Act) of any such person has had, either
directory or indirectly, a material interest in:


                                       17

<PAGE>

(i) any person or entity which purchases from or sells, licenses or furnishes
to Target or any Subsidiary any goods, property, technology or intellectual

Closing Date will have complied, and is or will be at the Closing Date in
full compliance, in all material respects with all applicable laws,

federal and state securities laws and regulations; (b) all applicable
federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and all orders,

and has made all filings with, third parties, including government agencies
and authorities, that are necessary in connection with its present business.

proceedings or investigations pending or threatened, that, if enacted or
determined adversely to Acquirer, would result in any material adverse change
in the present or future operations or financial condition thereof.

          3.7  TAXES.  Acquirer has filed all federal, state, local and
foreign tax returns required to be filed, has paid all taxes required to be
paid in respect of all periods for which returns have been filed, has
established an adequate accrual or reserve for the payment of all such taxes,
and has no material liability for taxes in excess of the amount so paid or
accruals or reserves so established.  Acquirer is not delinquent in the
payment of any material tax and is not delinquent in the filing of any
material tax returns, and no deficiencies for any tax have been threatened,
claimed, proposed or assessed.  No tax return of Acquirer has ever been
audited by the Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing agency or
authority, nor has Acquirer received any notice that they will be audited,
nor has Acquirer granted the Internal Revenue Service or any state taxing
agency or authority an extension to any applicable statute of limitation nor
has Acquirer been asked to do so.

          3.8  NO VIOLATION OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS.  Neither the execution
and delivery of this Agreement nor any Acquirer Ancillary Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will conflict with, or
(with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in a termination,
breach, impairment or violation of (a) any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Acquirer, as currently in effect, (b) in any
material respect, any material instrument or contract to which Acquirer is a
party or by which Acquirer is bound, or (c) any federal, state, local or

               6.2.1  As of the Effective Time, all shares of Target Stock
that are outstanding immediately prior thereto will, by virtue of the Merger

right to receive from Acquirer the number of shares of Acquirer Stock
determined as set forth in Section 1.1.1, subject to Sections 1.1.3 and 1.2.

Promptly after the Effective Time and receipt of such Target Certificates,
Acquirer will issue to each tendering holder a certificate for the number of
shares of Acquirer Common Stock to which

record of Acquirer Common Stock after the Effective Time, or cash payable in

interest, the amount of any dividends and distributions therefor paid with

ownership of the number of shares of Acquirer Stock into which the Target
Stock will have been converted, reduced by the number of shares withheld as
Escrow Shares.

          6.3  ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS.  Promptly after the Effective Time,
Acquirer will notify in writing each holder of a Target Option of the
assumption of such Target Option by Acquirer, and the number of shares of

the Closing by the mutual written consent of each of the parties hereto.

                                       31
<PAGE>

               9.1.2  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, this
Agreement will be terminated if all conditions to the Closing have not been
satisfied or waived on or before January 31, 1998, other than as a result of
a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party.

          9.2  BREACH.  Prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be
terminated and abandoned:

               9.2.1  By Acquirer, if there has been a breach by Target of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this
Agreement on the part of Target, or if any representation of Target will have
become untrue, in either case which has or can reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on Target and which Target fails to cure within a
reasonable time not to exceed fourteen days after written notice thereof
(except that no cure period will be provided for a breach by Target which by
its nature cannot be cured).

               9.2.2  By Target, if there has been a breach by Acquirer of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this
Agreement on the part of Acquirer, or if any representation of Acquirer will
have become untrue, in either case which has or can reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on Acquirer and which Acquirer fails to cure
within a reasonable time not to exceed fourteen days after written notice
thereof (except that no cure period will be provided for a breach by Acquirer
which by its nature cannot be cured).

               Any termination of this Agreement under this Section 9.2 will
be effective by the delivery of notice of the terminating party to the other
party hereto.

          9.3  NO LIABILITY.  Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 9 will be without further obligation or liability upon any party
in favor of the other party hereto other than the obligations provided in
Sections 10.2 and 11.16 and in any nondisclosure agreement between Target and
Acquirer, which will survive termination of this Agreement; provided,
however, that nothing herein will limit the obligation of Target and Acquirer
to use their best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated, as set forth
in Sections 4.11 and 5.3 hereof, respectively.

     10.  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

          10.1 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS.  All representations, warranties
and covenants of Acquirer contained in this Agreement will remain operative
and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the parties to this Agreement, until the earlier of (i) the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (ii) if the
Closing occurs, then the termination of the Escrow Period.  Unless otherwise
specified herein, all representations, warranties and covenants of Target
will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the parties to this Agreement, until
the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms, or (ii) if the Closing occurs, then the termination of the Escrow
Period except for covenants that by their terms survive thereafter, which
will continue to survive in accordance with their terms. 

                                       32

<PAGE>

          10.2   AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY.  Subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 10, the Target Stockholders will indemnify and hold
harmless Acquirer and its officers, directors, agents and employees, and each
person, if any, who controls or may control Acquirer within the meaning of
the Securities Act (hereinafter referred to individually as an "INDEMNIFIED
PERSON" and collectively as "INDEMNIFIED PERSONS") from and against any and
all claims, demands, actions, causes of actions, losses, costs, damages,
liabilities and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees
(hereinafter referred to as "DAMAGES"):

                 (a)  Arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of or
default in connection with any of the representations, warranties and
covenants given or made by Target in this Agreement or any certificate,
document or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Target pursuant hereto
(other than with respect to changes in the truth or accuracy of the
representations and warranties of Target under this Agreement after the date
hereof if Target has advised Acquirer of such changes in an update to Exhibit
2.0 delivered prior to the Closing and Acquirer has nonetheless proceeded
with the Closing); or

                 (b)  Resulting from any failure of any Target Stockholders
to have good, valid and marketable title to the issued and outstanding Target
Stock held by such stockholders, free and clear of all liens, claims,
pledges, options, adverse claims, assessments or charges of any nature
whatsoever, or to have full right, capacity and authority to vote such Target
Stock in favor of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Agreement of Merger; or

                 (c)  Resulting from any breach or violation of state
securities laws by Target in connection with the issuances of any securities
of Target.

          10.3   ESCROW SHARES.  All claims for indemnification made pursuant
to Section 10.2 shall be satisfied exclusively from shares of held in escrow
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, other than claims based upon fraud,
intentional misconduct or breach of Target's representations in Section 2.3
of this Agreement, for which there will be no such limitation.  The shares of
Target Stock held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall constitute
Acquiror's sole and exclusive remedy for breach of a representation,
warranty, indemnity, covenant or agreement of Target contained in this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument delivered by Target in connection
herewith, other than breaches based upon fraud, intentional misconduct or
based upon Target's representations in Section 2.3 of this Agreement

     11.    MISCELLANEOUS

            11.1   GOVERNING LAW.  The internal laws of the State of
California (irrespective of its choice of law principles) will govern the
validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the
interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto.

            11.2   ASSIGNMENT; BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Neither
party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the


                                     33

<PAGE>

other party hereto.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

            11.3   SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof, will for any reason and to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as
reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto.  The parties further
agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with
a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible,
the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable
provision.

            11.4   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which will be an original as regards any
party whose signature appears thereon and all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement will become binding
when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, will
bear the signatures of both parties reflected hereon as signatories.

            11.5   OTHER REMEDIES.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any
and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed
cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by
law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the
exercise of any other.

            11.6   AMENDMENT AND WAIVERS.  Any term or provision of this
Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be
bound thereby.  The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the
performance hereof will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other
default or any succeeding breach or default.  The Agreement may be amended by
the parties hereto at any time before or after approval of the Target
Stockholders, but, after such approval, no amendment will be made which by
applicable law requires the further approval of the Target Stockholders
without obtaining such further approval.

            11.7   NO WAIVER.  The failure of any party to enforce any of the
provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such
party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

            11.8   EXPENSES.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated
prior to the Closing, all costs, expenses and legal fees incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will
be paid by:  (i) in the case of breach of this Agreement by Target, by
Target, and (ii) in the case of breach of this Agreement by Acquirer, by
Acquirer.  Otherwise, Acquirer will bear all costs, expenses and legal fees
incurred with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.

            11.9   ATTORNEYS' FEES.  Should suit be brought to enforce or
interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled
to recover, as an element of the costs of suit


                                    34

<PAGE>

and not as damages, reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court
(including without limitation, costs, expenses and fees on any appeal).  The
prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs of suit, regardless of
whether such suit proceeds to final judgment.

            11.10  NOTICES.  Any notice or other communication required or
permitted to be given under this Agreement will be in writing, will be
delivered personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and
