3.  Representations and Warranties by Seller and Founder
    ----------------------------------------------------

3.1  Seller and Founder, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to
     Buyer as set forth below.

3.2  Seller is the exclusive owner of the Assets and any other rights pertaining
     to the Business, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, payment
     obligations and claims and rights of third parties, except the Assumed
     Liabilities and subject to the provisions of section 3.3.3 below.

     The Founder confirms that he has assigned to Seller, prior to the date of
     this Agreement, all his interest and/or title in any of the Assets, and
     especially in the Proprietary Rights.

3.3  3.3.1  Seller and/or Founder have developed the Technology and the
            Proprietary Rights independently of any proprietary knowhow or
            rights of third parties (unless in the public domain or properly
            licensed to Seller).

      3.3.2 The use, commercialization and utilization of the Technology and the
            Proprietary Rights do not and will not constitute, create or cause
            any infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property
            rights of third parties.

            No such claim of infringement or misappropriation pertaining to
            the Business has been made nor, to the best knowledge of Founder
            and Seller, is threatened against Seller or Founder.

      3.3.3 The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, certain elements of the
            Technology are not owned by Seller and Founder. However, such
            elements are in the public domain or are covered by off-the-shelf
            licenses granted to Seller and assignable by it. Furthermore,
            certain elements of the Technology are subject to the agreement
            between the Seller and Prof. Uzi Ornan (which agreement was
            presented to Buyer and is included in the list of Agreements in
            Appendix 2.3).

      3.3.4 Seller is not obligated or under any liability to make payments by
            way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any third party with respect
            to the use of the Technology and present and planned operations of
            the Business, except as included in the Assumed Liabilities.

      3.3.5 The Proprietary Rights and the Technology, together with public
            domain and licensed elements, comprise all of the intellectual
            property which is used or necessary with regard to the Business as
            conducted and as contemplated to be conducted. Seller has a valid
            right to use the licensed elements of the Technology for the
            Business as conducted and as contemplated to be conducted.

3.4   The list of Tangible Assets in Appendix 2.5 hereto comprises all of the
      tangible assets of the Seller. All the Tangible Assets are in operable and
      useable condition, and are fully insured.

3.5   The list of Agreements in Appendix 2.3 hereto comprises all the agreements
      of Seller and Founder pertaining to the Business. The Agreements are in
      full force and effect, were not infringed by the Seller nor - to the best
      knowledge of Seller and Founder - by the other parties to
<PAGE>

the Agreements.

3.6   The total exposure under the Assumed Liabilities is not and shall not be
      higher - in the aggregate - than NIS 600,000. Should the Assumed
      Liabilities and aggregate amounts which Buyer is required to pay to third
      parties consequent to the purchase of the Business (including, without
      limitation, payment of royalties, commissions, profit sharing, revenue
      sharing etc. related to or arising from the sale of products or knowhow
      and the grant of licenses) exceed the sum of NIS 600,000; the Seller and
      the Founder - jointly and severally - will either pay the excess sum
      directly to the entitled party/ies or reimburse the Buyer for such
      payment.

3.7   The Financial Reports were prepared in accordance with Israeli accounting
      standards and principles consistently applied, and they show and describe
      all the assets, liabilities (including future and contingent liabilities)
      and results of operations of the Seller. Since the last Financial Report
      date, no material change occurred in the value of the assets and
      liabilities and/or in the operations of the Business.

3.8   Seller is the employer of the employees listed in Appendix 3.8 hereto,
      which are all the employees of the Business. The full terms of employment
      of all such employees are as detailed in Appendix 3.8 hereto. All
      obligations towards the employees and/or related to their employment up to
      the date of the Closing (including, among others, severance payments,
      pension payments, sick days, vacation days and all others), were either
      paid in full or are covered by monies deposited in appropriate funds, or
      will be made and deposited prior to the Closing, unless they are included
      in the Assumed Liabilities.

3.9   The Founder is the holder and owner of the entire share capital of the
      Seller. Except for the Founder, no other person or entity is entitled to
      shares or has the right to purchase shares in Seller.

3.10  Seller and Founder have all requisite power and authority to execute,
      deliver and perform this Agreement. All necessary corporate proceedings of
      Seller have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery and
      performance of this Agreement by Seller. This Agreement is the legal,
      valid and binding obligation of Seller and Founder, and is enforceable as
      to Founder and Seller in accordance with its terms.

3.11  Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do or will: (a)
      conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute (or with
      notice or lapse of time or both constitute) a default under the Articles
      of Association of Seller or under any law, statute, regulation, order,
      judgment or decree applicable to Seller or Founder or under any
      instrument, contract or other agreement to which Seller or Founder is a
      party or by which Seller or Founder (or any of their properties, assets or
      business) is subject or bound, (b) require Seller and Founder to obtain
      any authorization, consent, approval, order or waiver from, or to make any
      filing with, any court or governmental entity
<PAGE>

      or agency or to obtain the approval or consent of any other person or
      entity.

3.12  There are no actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims pending
      or, to the best knowledge of Seller and Founder, threatened against or
      involving and/or relating to the Assets and/or the Business.

3.13  Seller and Founder have provided to Buyer all information in their
      possession or available to them which is relevant to the Assets, the
      Assumed Liabilities and the Business.
