Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. Neither

party or by which it is bound or of any provision of any federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Subsidiary or the
conduct of its business which violation or default would result in a material
adverse effect on the assets of the Company or the Subsidiary. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Agreements and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein or therein will not result in any such
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of
time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the
Company or the Subsidiary.

-----------------------
indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its officers or directors or to
their respective spouses or children, in any amount whatsoever other than in
connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business or relocation expenses of employees. To the Company's and the
Subsidiary's knowledge, none of the Company's or the Subsidiary's officers or
directors, or any members of their immediate families, are, directly or
indirectly, indebted to the Company or the Subsidiary (other than in connection
with purchases of the Company's Common Stock) or have any direct or indirect
ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company or the
Subsidiary is affiliated or with which the Company or the Subsidiary has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with the
Company or the Subsidiary except that officers, directors and/or shareholders of
the Company or the Subsidiary may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent
(2%) of the outstanding capital stock of) any publicly traded company that may
compete with the Company or the Subsidiary. To the Company's or the Subsidiary's
knowledge, none of the Company's or the Subsidiary's officers or directors or

in any material contract with the Company or the Subsidiary. Neither the Company
nor the Subsidiary is a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
person, firm or corporation.
2.12 Rights of Registration and Voting Rights. Except as contemplated in

or the Subsidiary.
2.13 Title to Property and Assets. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary
----------------------------
owns its property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and
encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary
course of business and do not materially impair the Company's or the
Subsidiary's ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the
property and assets it leases, the Company and the Subsidiary is in compliance
with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of
any liens, claims or encumbrances.

any of its properties that might be damaged or

destroyed subject to the terms and conditions of such policies. Neither the
Company nor the Subsidiary has been refused insurance courage sought or applied
for, and neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has any reason to believe that
it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when the same
shall expire upon terms at least as favorable as those presently in effect,
other than possible increases in premiums that do not result from any act or
omission of the Company or the Subsidiary.
2.17 Labor Agreements and Actions. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary

arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the
knowledge of the Company and the Subsidiary, has sought to represent any of the

condition, operating results or business of the Company or the Subsidiary, nor
is the Company or the Subsidiary aware of any labor organization activity
involving its employees. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has a present
intention to terminate the employment of any officer or key employee. The

regarding his employment or providing for any material compensation following
termination of employment with the Company or the Subsidiary. To the Company's
and the Subsidiary's knowledge, no employee or consultant of the Company or the
Subsidiary is in violation of any term of employment, employment contract or any
other contract or agreement relating to the relationship of such person to the

Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable the Purchasers to make such a
decision, including certain of the Company's projections describing its proposed
business (collectively, the "Business Plan"). To the Company's and the
-------------
Subsidiary's knowledge, neither this Agreement, any exhibits attached hereto,
nor any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchasers at the Closing,
or the Business Plan (when read together) contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact

prepared in good faith; however, neither the Company nor the Subsidiary warrants
that it will achieve such projections. None of the statements, documents,
certificates or other items prepared or supplied by the Company or the
Subsidiary with respect to the transactions contemplated contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained herein not misleading. There is no fact which the Company

writing of which the Company or the Subsidiary is presently aware which
materially and adversely affects the business, financial condition, operations,
property, prospects or affairs of the Company or the Subsidiary.

but not limited to, in calculating, comparing, and sequencing from, into and
between the Twentieth Century (through Year 1999), the Year 2000 and the
Twenty-First Century, including leap year calculations. The cost to the Company
and the Subsidiary to implement necessary changes to make all material Date Data
and Date-Sensitive Systems of the Company and the Subsidiary (and its
distribution contractor) Year 2000 Compliant will not have a material adverse
affect on the business of the Company or the Subsidiary as currently conducted
or prefers to be conducted."

which is otherwise derived from, dependent on or related to date information."
"Date-Sensitive Systems" means any software, microcode or hardware system

or provision or operation of which the Company or the Subsidiary provides the
benefit, to its customer, vendors, suppliers, affiliates or any third party.
"Year 2000 Compliant" means (i) with respect to Date Data, that such data
is in proper format and accurate for all dates in the Twentieth and Twenty-First
Centuries, and (ii) with respect to Date-Sensitive Systems, that each such
