SECTION 3 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows: 3.1 ORGANIZATION. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be 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 the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 3.2 AUTHORIZATION. All corporate action on the part of the Company necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Warrants, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares hereunder and upon exercise of the Warrants, and the performance of the Company's obligations hereunder and under such agreements has been taken. This Agreement and the Warrants 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. Upon their issuance and delivery pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal on behalf of any person in existence on the date hereof. 3.3 NO CONFLICT. The execution and delivery of this 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 under (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 -3- 4 under any provision of, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company 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 or its properties or assets, the effect of which could have a material effect on the Company or its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially impair or restrict the Company's power to perform its obligations as contemplated under such agreement. 3.4 CAPITALIZATION. (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of (i) 450,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 97,893,179 shares are issued and outstanding as of November 7, 2000 and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to any preemptive rights. (b) Other than the Warrants and as set forth on Schedule 3.4(b) hereto, the Company has not issued or granted any outstanding options, warrants, rights or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company, any other commitments or agreements providing for the issuance of additional shares of the capital stock of the Company, the sale of treasury shares, or for the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Company's capital stock, or any obligations arising from canceled stock. There are no agreements of any kind which may obligate the Company to issue, purchase, register for sale, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its securities or interests. There are no outstanding or authorized stock appreciation, phantom stock or similar rights with respect to the Company. There are no outstanding securities of the Company, or contracts binding on the Company relating to such securities, that give to their holders antidilution protections or similar rights. The fact of the issuance of the Shares and the issuance of common shares upon exercise of the Warrants will not give any other holder of Company securities the right to receive as a result of such issuance any additional securities or property or change any material rights enjoyed with respect to such securities. (c) There are no voting trusts, stockholder agreements, proxies or other agreements in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of the Shares. 3.5 SEC DOCUMENTS. The Company has filed all required reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") since January 15, 1999 (the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Documents contained 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. Except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later document filed with the SEC and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted -4- 5 accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operation and cashflows for the periods then ending in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by GAAP to be set forth on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or in the notes thereto and which can reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. 3.6 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES OR EVENTS.

No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares or the shares issuable under the Warrant, or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, except such filings as may be required to be made with the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or under applicable state securities laws and the HSR Act. 3.8 LITIGATION. There is no suit, action, or proceeding pending or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could (i) have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Alliance Agreement, and the Warrants, or (iii) prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by said agreements, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company or any of its subsidiaries having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen in the future have, any such effect. 3.9 DISCLOSURE. The Company has, to the best of its knowledge, fully responded to all requests for information, and the Company has accurately answered all questions from the Purchaser concerning the condition of the Company, and has not knowingly withheld any facts relating to such requests and questions which it reasonably believes to be material with respect to its condition. No information in this Agreement or in any Exhibit or Schedule attached to this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or, when considered together with all such information delivered to the Purchaser, omits to state any material fact. -5- 6 The disclosures made in writing by the Company in connection with this Agreement, when read in the light of the circumstances when made and taken as a whole, did not when made contain any untrue statement of a material fact. SECTION 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER Each Purchaser hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 4.1 ORGANIZATION. The Purchaser is either an individual or a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of formation, with all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted. 4.2 AUTHORITY. All corporate, partnership or other action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser has been taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its 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. The execution and delivery of such agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with or result in any violation of any obligation under any provision of the constituent documents of the Purchaser or any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser. Furthermore, each Purchaser and its partner, officer or other principal, if any, which come under the auspices of Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 have not sold equity securities of the Company for six (6) months prior to the date of this Agreement. 4.3 INVESTMENT. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Warrants, and, upon exercise of the Warrants, will acquire the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Purchaser understands that the Shares, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act and are issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser's representations and warranties contained herein. Purchaser has no present intent to acquire securities of the Company other than as contemplated by this Agreement. 4.4 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Purchaser has had full access to all information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares and the Warrants to be purchased by the Purchaser under this Agreement.

The Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. 4.6 ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS.

The Purchaser understands that although the Company is undertaking to file a registration statement covering the Shares and the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants, such registration statement will not be effective as of the Closings. Accordingly, the Warrants, the Shares, and the Common Stock are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the SEC, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
