ARTICLE III
MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
 
3.1       Manner and Basis of Converting Capital Stock
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp. or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 the holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of
the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp.:
 
(a)        Acquisition Corp. Stock. Each share of common stock of Acquisition
Corp. issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock
of the Surviving Corporation, such that, after giving effect to Section 3.1(b)
hereof, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Merger.
(b)        Company Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 3.1(c) hereof,
each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of
Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).
(c)        No Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
shall be issued in, or as a result of, the Merger.  Any fractional share of
Parent Common Stock that a record holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise
be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated.  If a
fractional share of Parent Common Stock results from such aggregation, the
number of shares required to be issued to such record holder shall be rounded up
to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock.
            3.2       Surrender and Exchange of Certificates . 
(a)        Letter of Transmittal.  Promptly after the execution of this
Agreement, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each record
holder of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit D (“Letter of Transmittal”), together with instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of certificate(s) representing ownership of
Company Common Stock, and (ii) an execution copy of the written consent of
shareholders of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the
“Written Consent”).
(b)         Exchange Procedures.  Parent shall issue to each former record
holder of Company Common Stock, upon delivery to Parent (or a duly authorized
agent of Parent) of (i) certificate(s) formerly representing ownership of
Company Common Stock endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly executed stock
powers (or an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnification in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Parent stating that, among other things, the
former record holder has lost its, his or her certificate(s) or that such
certificate(s) have been destroyed) and (ii) a properly completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or certificates registered in the
name of such former record holder representing the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock that such former record holder is entitled to receive in accordance
with Section 3.1 hereof.  Subject to Section 3.2(d) hereof, until the
certificate(s) (or affidavit) is delivered together with the Letter of
Transmittal in the manner contemplated by this Section 3.2(b), each certificate
(or affidavit) previously representing ownership of Company Common Stock shall
be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive
Parent
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
              Common Stock and the former record holders thereof shall cease to
have any other rights with respect to its, his or her Company Common Stock.
 
(c)        Termination of Exchange Process .  Any Parent Common Stock that
remains unclaimed by a former record holder of Company Common Stock at the first
anniversary of the Effective Time may be deemed “abandoned property” subject to
applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws in the State in
which the former record holder resides.  None of the Company, Parent,
Acquisition Corp. or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any person in
respect of any Parent Company Stock delivered to a public official pursuant to
any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(d)       Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time and held by a Shareholder who has not voted in favor
of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for
such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL
(“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive
dividends, shall not be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock
in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, and shall only be entitled to receive
such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to any such applicable law;
provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such Shareholder fails to
perfect or withdraws or loses its, his or her right to appraisal or otherwise
fails to establish the right to be paid the value of such Shareholder’s shares
of Company Common Stock under such applicable law, such shares of Company Common
Stock shall be treated as if they had converted as of the Effective Time into
the right to receive Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof,
and such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. 
All negotiations with respect to payment for Dissenting Shares shall be handled
jointly by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing and exclusively by Parent
thereafter.
(e)        Stock Transfer Books.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer
books of the Company will be closed and there will be no further registration of
transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the
Company.  If, after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing
Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, these
certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the number of shares of Parent
Common Stock to which the former record holder may be entitled pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof.
            3.3       Options, Warrants .
(a)        Common Stock Options.  The Company has issued and outstanding
warrants and options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (collectively,
the “Common Stock Options”).  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Corp. or
the holders of any outstanding Common Stock Options, Parent shall assume all of
the Company’s liabilities, obligations and commitments under each Common Stock
Option, including any equity incentive plans of the Company pertaining thereto,
and, as a result thereof, each Common

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Stock Option shall be converted into the right to acquire one (1) share of
Parent Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the exercise price stated in
the Common Stock Option, subject in all respects to all other terms and
conditions of the Common Stock Option.  Except for the change in security
underlying the Common Stock Options from Company Common Stock to Parent Common
Stock, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Common Stock Options
shall continue after the Effective Time, and that the terms and conditions of

10.3     Entire Agreement .  This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule,
the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits attached hereto or referred to

parties, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and
oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

not the Merger occurs, (i) all expenses and fees incurred by the Company or any
shareholder thereof shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has
incurred the same, and (ii) all expenses and fees incurred by Parent and
Acquisition Corp., or any shareholder thereof, shall be borne solely and
entirely by the party that has incurred the same; provided , that if the Merger

incurred by Parent and Acquisition Corp., or any shareholder thereof, in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, which payment shall be made no later
than the first business day after the Effective Time.
10.5     Severability .  If any term or other provision of this Agreement or any
of the Ancillary Agreements is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will nevertheless remain in full force
and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will negotiate in good faith
to amend or modify this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement, as the case may
be, so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in
an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are
fulfilled to the extent possible.
10.6     Successors and Assigns; Assignment .  This Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective permitted successors and assigns.  Neither this Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder
or thereunder shall be assigned or delegated by any of the parties prior the
Effective Time without, in the case of Parent, the prior written approval of the
Company and, in the case of the Company, the prior written approval of Parent.

executed in multiple counterparts, and by the different parties in separate

Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to
the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic
mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or
instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
version thereof delivered in person.  At the request of any party hereto or to
any of the Ancillary Agreements, each other party hereto or thereto shall
re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties.  No
party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a
facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the
use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or
enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such
defense.
 
10.9     Waiver .  At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may
(i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts
of any other party; (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
breaches of the warranties of the other party contained herein or in any
document delivered pursuant hereto; and (iii) waive compliance by the other
party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.  Any such
extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing
signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.
10.10   No Constructive Waivers .  No failure or delay on the part of any party
in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to
be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty,
agreement or covenant herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.  No
waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any
prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any
prior or subsequent such occurrence.
10.11   Further Assurances .  The parties shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such
further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments or documents as any other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby.
10.12   Recitals .  The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and, by
this reference, are made part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
10.13   Headings .  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.
10.14   Governing Law .  This Agreement and the agreements, instruments and
documents contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its
conflicts of law principles.
10.15   Dispute Resolution .  The parties shall initially attempt to resolve all
claims, disputes or controversies arising under, out of or in connection with
this Agreement by conducting good faith negotiations amongst themselves.  If the
parties are unable to resolve the matter following good faith negotiations, the
matter shall thereafter be resolved by binding arbitration and each party hereby
waives any right it may otherwise have to the resolution

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
of such matter by any means other than binding arbitration pursuant to this
Section 10.15.  Whenever a party shall decide to institute arbitration
proceedings, it shall provide written notice to that effect to the other
parties.  The party giving such notice shall, however, refrain from instituting
the arbitration proceedings for a period of sixty (60) days following such
notice.  During this period, the parties shall make good faith efforts to
amicably resolve the claim, dispute or controversy without arbitration.  Any
arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in the English language under the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Any such
arbitration shall be conducted in Orange County, California by a panel of three
arbitrators:  one arbitrator shall be appointed by each of Parent and Company;
and the third shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association.  The
panel of arbitrators shall have the authority to grant specific performance. 
Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of
any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.  In no event shall a
demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution of a legal or
equitable proceeding based on the claim, dispute or controversy in question
would be barred under this Agreement or by the applicable statute of
limitations.  The prevailing party in any arbitration in accordance with this
Section 10.15 shall be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to
any other remedies specified in the award, all reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees
and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party to arbitrate the claim,
dispute or controversy.
