        3.3    Representations and Warranties of PFC Sellers.    PFC Sellers hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Purchaser and eFuels Sellers that:

            (a)    Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power.    PFC is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California. PFC is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities or of its properties owned or leased makes such qualification necessary, except any jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on PFC. Set forth in Schedule 3.3(a) hereto is a list of each jurisdiction in which PFC is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation. PFC has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. True and correct copies of the Articles of Incorporation of PFC, as amended to date, the Bylaws of PFC, and all minutes and actions of the shareholders and board of directors of PFC have been delivered or made available to Purchaser and eFuels Sellers, and all actions taken and required to be taken prior to the date hereof are properly reflected in such minutes and actions.

    (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument or other arrangement to which PFC or PFC Sellers are a party or by which PFC or PFC Sellers are bound or to which any of PFC's assets or PFC Sellers' assets are subject (or result in the imposition of any lien or other encumbrance upon any of PFC's assets) which has not been previously waived by Purchaser on notice previously given, except for any such violation, conflict or default that, individually or in the aggregate, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

            (d)    Notices, Consents and Approvals.    Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3(d) hereto, neither PFC Sellers nor PFC is required to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of any governmental authority or other entity in order for the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except where the failure to give such notice, to file, or to obtain any such authorization, consent or approval would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on PFC or the ability of the parties to this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            (e)    Capitalization.    The authorized capital stock of PFC consists of 100,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, of which 1,000 shares are issued and outstanding, all of which are owned of record by PFC Sellers. All of the PFC Shares have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and none of the PFC Shares was issued in violation of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of PFC or any pre-emptive right of any shareholder. There are no outstanding subscriptions, contracts, conversion privileges, options, warrants, calls or other rights obligating PFC to issue, sell or otherwise dispose of, or to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any equity interests in PFC. PFC Sellers are the only holders of capital stock of PFC, and the PFC Shares represent each and every equity interest in PFC and there is no agreement, restriction or encumbrance to which PFC or PFC Sellers, or any of them, are a party or by which any of them is bound (such as a right of first refusal, right of first offer, option, voting trust, proxy, power of attorney, pre-emptive rights or the like) with respect to the acquisition, disposition or voting of equity interests in PFC.

            (f)    Claims and Proceedings.    Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) hereto, there is no legal action, suit, arbitration or other legal, administrative or governmental proceeding or investigation pending and served or, to the knowledge of PFC Sellers, threatened against PFC or any of its properties, assets or business, including, without limitation, any action, proceeding or investigation relating to product liability, antitrust or anti-competition, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, or environmental matters, and, except as set forth in Schedule 3.3(f), PFC is not subject to any outstanding order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority.

            (h)    PFC Financial Statements.    Attached as Schedule 3.3(h) hereto are (a) unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2000, together with the related statements of operations, shareholders' capital and cash flow, for the year then ended, and (b) an unaudited balance sheet at April 30, 2001 (the "PFC Balance Sheet Date") hereinafter referred to as the "PFC Balance Sheet." Such financial statements present fairly the financial condition of PFC at the PFC Balance Sheet Date, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. PFC has made available to Purchaser all the work papers requested by Purchaser which were used by PFC to create its financial statements and the PFC Balance Sheet. To the knowledge of PFC Sellers, other than as

19



    and to the extent disclosed or reserved against in the Balance Sheet PFC has no material liabilities or obligations of any nature whatsoever (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, asserted, unasserted or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, including, without limitation, deferred compensation obligations or tax or product liabilities, and whether incurred in respect of or measured by income for any period up to and including the date of the Closing or arising out of transactions entered into, or any state of facts existing, prior to or on the date of the Closing) except: (i) liabilities and obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business of PFC since the PFC Balance Sheet Date, (ii) liabilities and obligations set forth in, or arising under, leases, agreements, contracts or commitments set forth in any schedule hereto, and (iii) liabilities and obligations which would otherwise be required to be disclosed pursuant to the representations and warranties set forth in the various paragraphs of this Section 3.3 but are not by reason of the express exceptions to disclosure included in the various paragraphs of this Section 3.3.

            (i)    Tax Matters.    PFC has timely filed all Tax returns (including information returns, and estimates) required to be filed by it, including but not limited to those with respect to income, premiums, withholding, social security, unemployment, franchise, ad valorem, excise and sales Taxes, and has paid all Taxes shown on such returns and all assessments made against it to the extent such have become due. All of such returns and estimates were complete and accurate in all material respects. No Tax returns filed by PFC have been audited and no claims for additional taxes for any years have been made by any taxing authority and are pending. PFC has not received a notice of deficiency or assessment of additional Taxes which notice or assessment remains unresolved, and no taxing authority has asserted or, to the knowledge of PFC Sellers, proposed to assert any deficiency or assessment, nor is there any reasonable basis for such an assertion or assessment. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by PFC from its employees for Tax purposes in compliance with all applicable laws. PFC has collected and/or paid all sales and use Taxes required to be collected or paid by PFC. The reserve for Taxes (other than any reserve for deferred taxes) in the Balance Sheet is adequate to cover all accrued but unpaid Taxes of PFC as of the PFC Balance Sheet Date and any Taxes which would have accrued as of such date but which are being contested in good faith. PFC has not extended the time for assessment or payment of any Tax. The Tax returns for PFC present fairly and accurately all information contained therein. PFC has delivered or made available to Purchaser true and correct copies of all income Tax returns of PFC together with true and correct copies of all requested accountants' work papers relating to the preparation thereof. There are no liens for Taxes (other than current Taxes not yet due and payable) upon the PFC Shares.

             (vii)  PFC has not entered into any commitment to do any of the foregoing.

            (k)    Real Property.    PFC does not own real property nor does it have an option to purchase any real property.

PFC enjoys quiet possession under all of its leases and other agreements described in Schedule 3.3(k), each of which is enforceable in accordance with its terms against the lessor or other parties thereunder and to the knowledge of the PFC Sellers, no party is in default under the terms of any of its leases or other agreements described in Schedule 3.3(k); and to the knowledge of the PFC Sellers, no condition exists and no event has occurred which, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, could constitute such a default.

        6.4    Procedures for Indemnification.    Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, subject to the limitations imposed by Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 and 8.1, promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI of notice of the commencement of any action, claim or proceeding involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI, promptly notify such indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the indemnified party otherwise than hereunder unless such omission shall have materially adversely affected the indemnifying party' s ability to defend such action, claim or proceeding. In case such action, claim or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense or conduct thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon a written opinion of legal counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if there is a conflict of interest which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with the proviso of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. In the event the proceeding is a tax audit, the indemnified party shall not take any action, including, without limitation, the extension of any applicable limitations period, without the express written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        8.6    Publicity.    Any public announcement or press release concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall require the prior approval of all parties hereto both as to the making of such announcement or release and as to the form and content thereof, except to the extent that a party is advised by counsel, in good faith, that such announcement or release is required as a matter of law and full opportunity for prior consultation is afforded to the other parties to the extent practicable.

        8.7    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.

        8.8    Assignment of Agreement.    Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Purchaser, eFuels Sellers or PFC Sellers, whether by operation of law, asset or stock sale or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.

        8.9    Parties in Interest.    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.

        8.10    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto.

        8.11    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law rules.

        8.12    Severability.    If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable.

        8.13    Remedies.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.13, nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed so as to limit the remedies which any party may have against the others in the event of a breach by any party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made under or pursuant to this Agreement, it being intended that any remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, in the absence of intentional misrepresentation or intentional omission of material facts, the indemnification provisions contained in Article VI hereof shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of a representation or warranty (but not a covenant) of any party to this Agreement.

        8.16    Consent to Jurisdiction and Waivers.    By their execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Purchaser, eFuels Sellers and PFC Sellers expressly and irrevocably consents, and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of California and the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Each of Purchaser, eFuels Sellers and PFC Sellers further irrevocably consents to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to the other parties hereto by hand or by any other manner provided for in Section 8.3. Each of Purchaser, eFuels Sellers and PFC Sellers expressly and irrevocably waive any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based on any alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis.

        8.17    Arbitration.    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles County, California in accordance with the following procedures:

            (d)    Enforcement of Judgment.    Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award of the arbitrator shall be binding, final, and nonappealable.

            (e)    Discovery.    The parties may obtain discovery in aid of the arbitration to the fullest extent permitted under law, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05. All discovery disputes shall be resolved by the arbitrator.

            (f)    Consolidation.    Any arbitration hereunder may be consolidated by JAMS with the arbitration of any other dispute arising out of or relating to the same subject matter when the arbitrator determines that there is a common issue of law or fact creating the possibility of conflicting rulings by more than one arbitrator. Any disputes over which arbitrator shall hear any consolidated matter shall be resolved by JAMS.

            (g)    Power and Authority of Arbitrator.    The arbitrator shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement nor to grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law.

            (h)    Governing Law.    All questions in respect of procedure to be followed in conducting the arbitration as well as the enforceability of this Agreement to arbitrate which may be resolved by the state law shall be resolved according to the law of the State of California. Any action brought to enforce the provisions of this Section shall be brought in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. All other questions in respect to this Agreement, including but not limited to the interpretation, enforcement of this Agreement (other than the right to arbitrate), and the rights, duties and liabilities of the parties to this Agreement shall be governed by California law.
