ARTICLE
III
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Sellers. The
Sellers severally and not jointly hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser
that:
(a) Organization and
Authority. Each Seller that is not a natural person is a
corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in
good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or
the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and has the corporate
power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted, except, in each case, where failure to be
so organized and existing, qualified or to have such corporate power and
authority would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect such
Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
(b) Capitalization; Ownership of
Shares. (i) Schedule 2.1 sets forth, with respect to each
Seller, the number of Shares owned by such Seller opposite such Seller’s
name. The Shares listed across from such Seller’s name on
Schedule 2.1 represent all of the shares of Common Stock held by such
Seller and, based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported as
outstanding as of October 31, 2008 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, constituted 87.2% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date. The
Sellers own all the Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances and upon the
closing, assuming the Purchaser does not have “notice of any adverse claim”, the
Purchaser will be a “protected purchaser” with respect to the Shares, as such
terms are defined in Article 8 of the UCC in effect in New
York.
(ii) As
of the date of this Agreement, no Seller has or is bound by any outstanding
subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any
character calling for the purchase or issuance of, or securities or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of Common Stock or any other
equity securities of the
4
Company
or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any
shares of capital stock of the Company (including any rights plan or
agreement). As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Sellers,
the Company does not have in effect a “poison pill” or rights
agreement.
(c) Authorization.
(i) SMR
has full legal right and capacity to execute and deliver the Agreement and to
carry out his obligations hereunder, and each of NAI and Sumco has the corporate
power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and each of NAI and Sumco has
the corporate power and authority to carry out their respective obligations
hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller of
this Agreement and the consummation by each Seller of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the
part of each Seller and its stockholders, as the case may be. This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Sellers and,
assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, this
Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of each Seller party hereto
enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including all laws relating to
fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general principles of
equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity). No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the
execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement, the performance by them
of their obligations hereunder or the consummation by them of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(ii) Neither
the execution and delivery by the Sellers of this Agreement nor the consummation
by the Sellers of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the
Sellers with any of the provisions hereof, will (A) with or without the
giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, or result
in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right
of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any lien,
security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the material properties or
assets of the Sellers under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
(i) with respect to NAI and Sumco, the articles of incorporation, charter
or bylaws or other governing document of such Seller or (ii) any note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other
instrument or obligation to which any Seller is a party or by which it may be
bound, or to which any Seller or any of the properties or assets of any Seller
may be subject, or (B) violate any law (including any fraudulent conveyance
or similar law), statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, concession,
grant, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree
applicable to any Seller or any of their respective properties or
assets.
(d) Governmental
Consents. Other than the securities or blue sky laws of the
various states, no material notice to, registration, declaration or filing with,
exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of, any
Governmental Authority, nor expiration or termination of any statutory waiting
periods, is necessary for the
5
consummation
by the Sellers of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Participation Agreement.
(e) Offering of
Securities. None of the Sellers or any person acting at their
direction has taken any action which would subject the sale of any of the Shares
to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.
(f) Brokers and
Finders. Except for Citigroup Global Markets Inc., none of the
Sellers or any of their respective officers or directors has employed any broker
or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage
fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly
or indirectly for any Seller, in connection with this Agreement or the
Participation Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any brokerage,
finder’s or other fee or commission to any broker, finder or investment banker
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Participation Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the
Sellers or their Affiliates.
(g) Actions. As
of the date hereof, there are no claims, actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings pending or, the knowledge of the Sellers, threatened against the
Sellers or any of their Affiliates before any Governmental Authority that would

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Participation Agreement or
otherwise prevent or materially delay the Sellers from performing their
obligations hereunder or thereunder.
3.2 Representations and

Authority. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, is

its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it
to be so qualified, and has the limited liability company power and authority
and governmental authorizations to own its properties and assets and to carry on
its business as it is now being conducted, except, in each case, where failure
to be so organized and existing, qualified or to have the corporation power and
authority would be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect the
Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
(b) Authorization.
(i) The
Purchaser has the limited liability company power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The

6
executed
and delivered by the Purchaser and assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Sellers, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation
of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including all
laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to the effect of general
principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity). No other limited liability company proceedings are
necessary for the execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement, the
performance by it of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(ii) Neither
the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, nor
the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor

violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute
a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the
performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of,
or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance
upon any of the properties or assets of the Purchaser under any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of (i) its governing documents or (ii) any
note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or
other instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it
may be bound, or to which the Purchaser or any of the properties or assets of
the Purchaser may be subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the
statutes and regulations referred to in the next paragraph, violate any law,

ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Participation
Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby on a
timely basis.

Advice. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that
nothing in this Agreement, in the Company’s public information or in any
