knowledge   overtly   threatened,   action,   suit,   proceeding,
arbitration,  or  investigation before  any  court,  governmental

     4.08 SEC Filings. Company has filed with the SEC on a timely
basis, or received a valid extension of such time of filing,  all
forms, reports and documents required to be filed by it under the

dates,  the SEC Documents complied in all material respects  with

made, not misleading.

     4.9  Compliance with Statutes, etc.  Each of Company and its
subsidiaries  is in compliance with all applicable  laws,  rules,
regulations  and  orders  of,  and  all  applicable  restrictions
imposed by, all governmental bodies, in respect of the conduct of
its business and the ownership of its property except, where such
failure  to  be  in compliance would not have a material  adverse
effect on Company.

and  delivery of the Shares

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Agreement, if any, have been or will be completed
by Company on a timely basis.

subsidiaries  has  filed all federal, state, local,  foreign  and
other  tax  returns required to be filed by it and has  paid  all
taxes  and  other assessments which have become due  pursuant  to
such  tax returns and all other taxes and assessments which  have
become  due,  except for those contested in good  faith  and  for
which  adequate reserves have been established.  Each of  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 all  prior
fiscal  years and for the current fiscal year to the date hereof.
No  governmental  authority has asserted a lien  or  other  claim
against Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to unpaid
taxes which has not been discharged or resolved, which would have
a material adverse effect on Company.

      4.12  Insurance.  Company  and  each  of  its  subsidiaries
maintains  insurance  on all of its properties  with  financially

possesses   rights  to  use  all  patents,  patent  applications,
trademarks,   service  marks,  trade  names,  copyrights,   trade
secrets, licenses and rights with respect to the foregoing  which
are   required  to  conduct  its  business  without   any   known
infringement  of  the rights of others.  No  event  has  occurred
which,  to the knowledge of Company, permits, or after notice  or
lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination
of  any  such  rights, and, to the knowledge of Company,  neither
Company  nor any of its subsidiaries is liable to any  person  or
entity for infringement under applicable law with respect to such
rights.   As  of the Effective Date, Company is not pursuing  any
action  against any third party for the infringement of Company's
patents,  patent applications, trademarks, service  marks,  trade
names,  copyrights, trade secrets, or licenses  relating  to  its
business.

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of  any
remedies provided by law.

of  its  rights or obligations under this Agreement  without  the
prior  written  consent of the other party.  Notwithstanding  any
assignment  by Purchaser, the provisions of Sections  7.01  shall
continue  to  be  binding upon Purchaser in accordance  with  the
terms of this Agreement.

      8.06       Governing  Law; Consent to  Jurisdiction.   This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the  laws  of  the  State of Delaware, without reference  to  the
conflicts  or  choice  of  law principles  thereof.  Company  and
Purchaser  hereby  irrevocably consent to the exclusive  personal
jurisdiction of any state or federal courts located in  Delaware,
in  any  action,  claim or other proceeding arising  out  of  any
dispute  in  connection  with  this  Agreement,  any  rights   or
obligations  hereunder, or the performance  of  such  rights  and
obligations.   Purchaser  and  Company  agree  to   waive   their
respective  rights to a jury trial with respect  to  any  action,
claim,  or  other  proceeding  arising  out  of  any  dispute  in
connection   with  this  Agreement,  any  rights  or  obligations
hereunder, or the performance of such rights and obligations.

      8.07  Severability.  To the extent any  provision  of  this
Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law,  such
provision  shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or   invalidity,  without  invalidating  the  remainder  of  such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

more  counterparts,  each  of which shall  be  deemed  to  be  an
original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
