         6.       Representations,   Warranties,  Covenants,  and  
Acknowledgments of Transferees. Each of the Transferees, severally and not
jointly, hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that:

                  6.1 Investment. He is acquiring the Shares transferred to him
hereunder for his own account, and not for the account of any other person. He
is acquiring the Shares transferred to him hereunder for investment and not with
a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable
laws regulating securities.

                  6.2 Relation of Company. He is in a capacity such that he has
become personally familiar with the business, affairs, financial condition, and
results of operations of the Company.

                  6.3 Access to Information. He has had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the
Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial
condition, and results of operations of the Company. He has had access to such
financial and other 



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

information as is necessary in order for him to make a fully-informed decision
as to investment in the Company by way of acquisition of the Shares transferred
to him hereunder, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional
information necessary to verify any of such information.

                  6.4 Business Experience. As a result of his relationship with
the Company, study of the information provided by the Company and his general
business experience and experience in financial matters, he is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of his investment in the Company evidenced by
the acquisition of the Shares transferred to him hereunder.

                  6.5 Speculative Investment. His investment in the Company
represented by the Shares transferred to him hereunder is speculative in nature
and is subject to a risk of loss in whole or in part. The amount of such
investment is within his risk capital means and is not so great in relation to
his total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs
of him or his family in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.

                  6.6 Registration. He may bear the economic risk of investment
for an indefinite period of time because the sale to him of the Shares
transferred to him hereunder has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") and he cannot transfer, sell, distribute, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of ("Transfer") the Shares transferred to him
hereunder unless such Transfer is registered under the Act or an exemption from
such registration is available.

         7. Wallace's Representations and Warranties. Wallace represents and
warrants to each of the Transferees that Wallace has good and valid title to the
Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrance whatsoever. The Shares are not subject
to any voting trust agreement or other contract, agreement, arrangement,
commitment or understanding, including any such agreement, arrangement,
commitment or understanding restricting or otherwise relating to the voting,
dividend rights or disposition of the Shares.

         8.       Miscellaneous.

                  8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
representations and warranties contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                  8.2 Entire Agreement, No Reliance on Representations. This
Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding concerning the
subject matter herein and supersedes and replaces any prior negotiations and
agreements between the parties hereto, or any of them, whether written or oral.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that no other party or agent or attorney
of any other party has made any promise, representation, or warranty whatsoever,
express or implied, not contained herein, concerning the subject matter hereof,
to induce the other party to execute this Agreement, and each party hereto
acknowledges that he has not executed this Agreement in reliance upon any such
promise, representation, or warranty not contained herein.

                  8.3      Binding  Effect.  Subject  to  the  limitations  set
forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

California.

                  8.5 Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other
document to be given hereunder shall be in writing and delivered in person or by
