<PAGE>

       (ii) executed by an officer of, or other authorized person designated
            by, the Purchaser; and

      (iii) to the effect that (A) the Shares have been sold in accordance
            with the Registration Statement and (B) the requirement of
            delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.

        (b) The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when
            the Company determines, in good faith following consultation with
            its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, the use of the
            prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (the
            "Prospectus," as further defined in Section 7.3.1 below) should be
            suspended until such time as an amendment or supplement to the
            Registration Statement or the Prospectus has been filed by the
            Company and any such amendment to the Registration Statement is
            declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the

            suspend the use of the Prospectus for up to thirty (30) days in any
            365-day period based on the reasonable determination of the
            Company's Board of Directors that there is a significant business
            purpose for such determination, such as pending corporate
            developments, public filings with the SEC or similar events. The
            Company shall in no event be required to disclose the business
            purpose for which it has suspended the use of the Prospectus if the
            Company determines in its good faith judgment that the business
            purpose should remain confidential. In addition, the Company shall
            notify each Purchaser (i) of any request by the SEC for an amendment
            or any supplement to such Registration Statement or any related

            governmental agency directly relating to the offering, and (ii) of
            the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
            effectiveness of such Registration Statement or of any order
            preventing or suspending the use of any related prospectus or the

            Registration Statement contemplated in Section 7 of this Agreement
            or sales upon termination of the transfer restrictions pursuant to
            Section 7.4 of this Agreement.

            necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the
            earlier of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold by the
            Purchasers without registration and without regard to any volume
            limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any
            other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the Shares have been
            sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the
            Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect;

        (g) promptly furnish to the Purchasers with respect to the Shares
            registered under the Registration Statement such reasonable number
            of copies of the Prospectus, including any supplements to or
            amendments of the Prospectus, in order to facilitate the public sale
            or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Purchasers;

        (h) during the period when copies of the Prospectus are required to be
            delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, will file
            all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to
            Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods
            required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
            promulgated thereunder;

        (i) file documents required of the Company for customary Blue Sky

            however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do
            business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in
            which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented; and

                                       22
<PAGE>

        (j) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs
            (a) through (i) of this Section 7.1.1 and the registration of the
            Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

               7.1.2  DELAY IN EFFECTIVENESS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

        In the event that the Registration Statement is not declared effective
on or before March 31, 2002 (the "Penalty Date"), the Company shall pay to each
Purchaser liquidated damages in an amount equal to 0.25% of the total purchase
price of the Shares purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement for
each week after the Penalty Date that the Registration Statement is not declared
effective.

        7.2 TRANSFER OF SHARES AFTER REGISTRATION

        Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the
Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within
the meaning of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration
Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, and that
it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth
in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of
distribution.

        7.3 INDEMNIFICATION

        For the purpose of this Section 7.3, the term "Registration Statement"
shall include any preliminary or final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or
amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in
Section 7.1.

               7.3.1  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY

        The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers
and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the
Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses,
joint or several, to which such Purchasers or such controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and
schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information
deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to
paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and
Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration
Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the
"Prospectus"), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of
them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the
representations and warranties of

                                       23
<PAGE>

the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or under applicable law, and will
reimburse each Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal and
other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or
such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out
of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply
with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.2 or 7.2 of this
Agreement respecting resale of the Shares, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any
representations made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or (iv) any untrue
statement or omission of a material fact required to make such statement not
misleading in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that
was delivered to the Purchaser before the pertinent sale or sales by the
Purchaser.

<PAGE>

               7.3.2  INDEMNIFICATION BY THE PURCHASER

        Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in
respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
failure on the part of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and
agreements contained in Sections 5.2 or 7.2 of this Agreement respecting the
sale of the Shares or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such
Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly
for use therein; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for
any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of
which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction before
the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and the
Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any
legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action.

               7.3.3  INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE

        (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
            7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such
            indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
            against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly
            notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the
            omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it
            from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for
            contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in
            this Section 7.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result
            of such failure.

        (b) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and
            such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an
            indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
            participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with
            all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the

                                       25
<PAGE>

            defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
            indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such
            action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
            and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there
            may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party
            and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such
            action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other
            indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those
            available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or
            parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume
            such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of
            such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon
            receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
            party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and
            approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
            will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3
            for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
            indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless:

        (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection
            with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso
            to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
            indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
            one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party
            representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such
            action) or

       (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
            satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
            party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of
            action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of
            counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
            Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Purchaser
            shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this
            Agreement in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by the
            Purchaser from the sale of the Shares.

               7.3.4  CONTRIBUTION

        If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by
its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 in
respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in
this Agreement, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement

        (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
            benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the
            placement of Common Stock or

        (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by
            applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
            only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but the
            relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with
            the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations
            and

                                       26
<PAGE>

            warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims,
            damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
            equitable considerations.

        The respective relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for
the Shares purchased by such Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement bears to the difference (the "Difference") between the
amount such Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the
Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale.
The relative fault of the Company and each Purchaser shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or
the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to
information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7.3.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The
provisions set forth in Section 7.3.3 with respect to the notice of the threat
or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution
is to be made under this Section 7.3.4; provided, however, that no additional
notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice
has been given under Section 7.3 for purposes of indemnification. The Company
and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even
if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
7.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant
to this Section 7.3 are several and not joint.

        7.4 TERMINATION OF CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS

        The restrictions imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the
transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular
number of the Shares upon the passage of two years from the Closing Date or at
such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the
Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not
necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

        7.5 INFORMATION AVAILABLE

        From the date of this Agreement through the date the Registration
Statement covering the resale of Shares owned by any Purchaser is no longer
effective, the Company will furnish to such Purchaser:

<PAGE>

        (a) as soon as practicable after available (but in the case of the
            Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, within 90 days after the
            end of each fiscal year of the Company), one copy of

        (i) its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain
            financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles by a national firm of certified public
            accountants);

       (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Shareholders,
            its Annual Report on Form 10-K;

      (iii) if not included in substance in its Quarterly Reports to
            Shareholders, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q; and

       (iv) a full copy of the particular Registration Statement covering the
            Shares (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

        (b) upon the request of the Purchaser, a reasonable number of copies of
            the Prospectus to supply to any other party requiring the
            Prospectus.

        7.6 RULE 144 INFORMATION

        Until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold by
the Purchasers without registration and without regard to any volume limitations
by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect or (ii) all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration
Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Exchange Act and shall take
such further action to the extent required to enable the Purchasers to sell the
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be
amended from time to time).

        7.7 STOCK OPTION MATTERS AND PROHIBITION ON TOXICS

        The Company shall,

        (a) within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, adopt such amendments
to, with respect to (i) and (ii) below, the Company's stock option plans and
By-laws, and, with respect to (iii) and (iv) below, the Company's By-laws
(together, the "Stock Option Plan and By-law Amendments") to provide that,
unless approved by the holders of a majority of the shares present and entitled
to vote at a duly convened meeting of shareholders, the Company shall not:

        (i) grant any stock option, including stock appreciation right, with an
            exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of
            the underlying stock on the date of grant;

       (ii) reduce the exercise price of any stock option, including stock
            appreciation right, outstanding or to be granted in the future;
            cancel and re-grant options at a lower exercise price (including
            entering into any "6 month and 1 day" cancellation and re-grant
            scheme), whether or not the cancelled options are put back into the
            available

                                       28
<PAGE>

            pool for grant; replace underwater options with restricted stock in
            an exchange, buy-back or other scheme; or replace any options with
            new options having a lower exercise price or accelerated vesting
            schedule in an exchange, buy-back or other scheme;

      (iii) sell or issue any security of the Company convertible, exercisable
            or exchangeable into shares of common stock of the Company, having a
            conversion, exercise or exchange price per share which is subject to
            downward adjustment based on the market price of the common stock at
            the time of conversion, exercise or exchange of such security into
            common stock (except for appropriate adjustments made to give effect
            to any stock splits or stock dividends); or

       (iv) enter into (a) any equity line or similar agreement or arrangement;
            or (b) any agreement to sell common stock of the Company (or any
            security convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of
            common stock ("Common Stock Equivalent")) at a per share price (or,
            with respect to a Common Stock Equivalent, at a conversion, exercise
            or exchange price, as the case may be ("Equivalent Price")) that is
            fixed after the execution date of the agreement, whether or not
            based on any predetermined price-setting formula or calculation
            method. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a price protection
            clause shall be permitted in an agreement for sale of common stock
            or Common Stock Equivalent, if such clause provides for an
            adjustment to the price per share of common stock or, with respect
            to a Common Stock Equivalent, to the Equivalent Price (provided that
            such price or Equivalent Price is fixed on or before the execution
            date of the agreement) (the "Fixed Price") in the event that the
            Company, during the period beginning on the date of the agreement
            and ending no later than 90 days after the closing date of the
            transaction, sells shares of common stock or Common Stock Equivalent
            to another investor at a price or Equivalent Price, as the case may
            be, below the Fixed Price.

        The Stock Option Plan and By-law Amendments may not be further amended
or repealed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares present and entitled to vote at a duly convened meeting of shareholders.
Upon the adoption of the Stock Option Plan and By-law Amendments, the Company
shall promptly furnish a copy of such amendments to the Purchasers. The Company
agrees that, prior to the adoption of the Stock Option Plan and By-law
Amendments by all necessary corporate action of the Company as described above,
the Company shall not conduct any of the actions specified in (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv) above of this Section 7.7. The Company further agrees that it will not
obtain additional funding under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
August 17, 2000 between the Company and Acqua Wellington North American Equities
Fund, Ltd.

        (b) not later than the earlier to occur of (i) January 31, 2002 or (ii)
three days prior to the execution date of the share purchase agreement for the
Second Tranche Offering, amend the Rights Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2001
between the Company and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the
"Shareholder Rights Agreement"), so that the State of Wisconsin Investment Board
("SWIB") may beneficially own up to and including 20% of the then outstanding
Voting Shares, as defined in the Shareholders Rights Agreement, without becoming
an Acquiring Person, as defined in the Shareholders Rights Agreement, subject to
the

                                       29
<PAGE>

same provisos as provided in the definition of "Acquiring Person", except that
references in the provisos to 15% should be 21% instead with respect to SWIB.
Upon the adoption of such amendment to the Shareholder Rights Agreement, the
Company shall promptly furnish a copy of the amendment to SWIB.

8.      LEGAL FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTION EXPENSES

        At the Closing, the Company agrees to pay a flat fee of $5,000 to the
State of Wisconsin Investment Board for their legal and other transaction
expenses (whether internal or external) arising in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.      BROKER'S FEE

        The Purchasers acknowledge that the Company does not intend to pay any
fee in respect of the sale of the Shares. Each of the parties to this Agreement
hereby represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it, there
are no brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale
of the Shares to the Purchasers. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Purchasers from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing by
the Company to any person or firm acting on behalf of the Company hereunder.

State of Wisconsin Investment Board

        Re:    CardioGenesis Corporation

Dear Sir/Madam:

        We have acted as legal counsel to CardioGenesis Corporation, a
California corporation (the "Company"), in connection with (i) the issuance and
sale by the Company to you of two million (2,000,000) shares (the "Shares") of
its common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to a
Share Purchase Agreement dated as of December __, 2001 (the "Purchase
Agreement") and (ii) the negotiation of the provisions of the Purchase
Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Purchase Agreement.

        For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have investigated such
questions of law as we have deemed necessary. As to factual matters, we have
relied, with your permission and without verification, on the representations
and warranties as to facts set forth in the Purchase Agreement and such
certificates and statements of the Company and its officers as we have deemed
necessary. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon, with your permission,
such other certificates and assurances from public officials as we have deemed
necessary, desirable or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the opinions
expressed herein.

        We have assumed, with your permission, the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such copied documents. We have assumed that
each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement other than the Company have the
power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform the terms and
conditions on the part of such party to be performed, and the due authorization,
execution and

<PAGE>

delivery by such party of the Purchase Agreement. We have further assumed that
the Purchase Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
the parties thereto other than the Company, enforceable against such other
parties in accordance with its terms.

        We have assumed, with your permission, that there are no documents,
agreements, understandings or negotiations between you and the Company which
would expand, modify or otherwise affect the respective rights and obligations
of the parties set forth in the Purchase Agreement and that the Purchase
Agreement correctly and completely sets forth the intent of all parties thereto.

        Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are
of the opinion that:

        1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of California. The Company is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason
of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where
the failure to so qualify would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
assets, business affairs or business prospects of the Company. The Company has
the requisite corporate power to own or lease its property and assets and to
conduct its business as currently conducted.

        2. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and
delivered on behalf of the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors' rights, and (ii) as limited by equitable principles
generally and limitations on the availability of equitable remedies, whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

        3. The Shares have been duly authorized and when issued, delivered and
paid for in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and free of any pre-emptive or similar rights.

        4. Except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge,
there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or overtly threatened in
writing against the Company which could reasonably be anticipated to result,
either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the
assets, financial condition or operations of the Company, or which questions the
validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin or invalidate, the Purchase
Agreement or any action to be taken by the Company in connection therewith.

        5. The offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to you is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject
to timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation D.

        6. The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement by
the Company and the consummation of the issuance and sale of the Shares by the
Company as

                                       3
<PAGE>

contemplated therein do not conflict with or violate any provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or any provision of any
applicable material federal or state law, rule or regulation; or, to the best of
our knowledge, any material agreements to which the Company is a party.

        7. All consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings,
registrations and qualifications with any regulatory authority or governmental
body in the United States required for the issuance by the Company of the Shares
as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, have been made or obtained, except
for (i) the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation D, and (ii) the filing of a Form D with the Securities Commissioners
of the State of California.

        The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions,
exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

        A. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability of any choice of law, arbitration, submission to jurisdiction or
service of process provisions or any severability provisions.

        B. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of any provision in the Purchase Agreement: (i) indemnifying a
party or requiring contribution from a party, to the extent such provision may
be held unenforceable as contrary to or limited by federal or state securities
laws or public policy, including without limitation provisions indemnifying a
party against losses attributable to or liability for its own negligent acts;
(ii) providing for the payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses or
indemnification for claims, losses or liabilities in excess of a reasonable
amount determined by any court or other tribunal; or (iii) regarding the ability
of any party to collect attorneys' fees and costs in an action involving the
Purchase Agreement.

        C. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability of any provisions of the Purchase Agreement regarding: (i) the
remedies available to any party; (ii) the ability of any party to take
discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or is not
taken in good faith or in a commercially reasonable manner, whether or not such
action is permitted under the Purchase Agreement; or (iii) for violations or
breaches which are determined by a court to be non-material or without
substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its
material obligations thereunder.

        D. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of any: (i) waiver of unknown future rights or waiver of rights
existing, or duties owed, that are broadly or vaguely stated or that do not
describe the right or duty purportedly waived with reasonable specificity, or
(ii) waiver or consent (whether or not characterized as a waiver or consent in
the Purchase Agreement) relating to the rights of the Company or duties owing to
it existing as a matter of law, to the extent such waiver or consent is found to
be against public policy.

        E. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of any provisions of the Purchase Agreement requiring written
amendments or waivers insofar as

                                       4
<PAGE>

it suggests that oral or other modifications, amendments or waivers could not be
effectively agreed upon by the parties.

        F. We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding nature or
enforceability of any provision in the Purchase Agreement to the effect that
rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative
and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, that the election
of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others or
that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not
operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy.

        G. We express no opinion as to any anti-fraud provision of any
securities laws or antitrust laws, regulations or rules.

        H. We express no opinion as to the ability to obtain specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief as a remedy for
noncompliance with the Purchase Agreement.

        With respect to any opinion herein in regard to the existence or absence
of facts that is stated to be "to our knowledge," "to the best of our knowledge"
or "known to us," such statement means that, during the course of our
representation of the Company in this matter or any other matter, no information
has come to the attention of the lawyers in our firm participating in such
representation that has given them actual knowledge of facts contrary to the
existence or absence of the facts indicated. However, we have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts,
and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts
should be drawn from our representation of the Company in this matter.

        We are admitted to practice in the State of California. We render no
opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of California and the federal laws of the United States of America.
This opinion is limited to the laws set forth above, as such laws presently
exist, to present judicial interpretations thereof and to the facts as they
presently exist. In rendering this opinion, we assume no obligation to revise or
supplement this opinion should the present laws of the jurisdictions mentioned
herein be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise. This
opinion is rendered as of the date hereof, and we express no opinion as to, and
disclaim any undertaking or obligation to update this opinion in respect of,
changes of circumstances or events which occur subsequent to this date.

        This opinion is rendered in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and
may not be relied upon by any person other than you or by you in any other
context. The opinions expressed herein are solely for your benefit in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. This opinion may
not be quoted in whole or in part nor may copies hereof be delivered to any
other person without our prior written consent.

                                    Very truly yours,
