Internal
Controls. The Company is in material compliance with the
provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 currently applicable to the
Company. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains a system
of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
that
(i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
The
Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to the Company and each Subsidiary is made known to the certifying officers
by
others within those entities. The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under
the
Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no significant changes in the internal controls (as such
term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-B) of the Company or any
Subsidiary or, to the Company’s Knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect such internal controls. The books, records and
accounts of the Company and each Subsidiary accurately and fairly reflect,
in
all material respects, the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets
of,
and the results of operations of, the Company and each
Subsidiary. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains and
will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and
administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the

Party”) harmless
from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies,
damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation (collectively, “Losses”)
that any such Investor
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation,
breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
made
by the Company in this Agreement. In addition to the indemnity

Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares
is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to
be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if
requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under
such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated
with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement
certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation
thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or
instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a
replacement.

Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance
of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

Independent Nature
of
Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations
of
any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this
Agreement. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant
to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other
Investor. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any
Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or
as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has
acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment
hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in
connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights
under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation
the
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been
provided with the same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any
Investor.
7.9
Limitation of
Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an Investor arising
directly or indirectly, under this Agreement of any and every nature whatsoever
shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor, and that no
trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of such
Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest
of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such
Investor.

A
Form
of Legal Opinion
_________________,
2008
To
the
Investors Listed in
the
Schedule of Purchasers of the
dated
as
of ______________, 2008
Ladies
and
Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of ___________, 2008
(the "Purchase Agreement"), complete with all listed exhibits thereto, by and
among Intraop Medical Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and
the
investors listed in the Schedule of Purchasers to the Purchase Agreement (the
"Investors"), which provides for, among other things, the issuance by the
Company to the Investors of shares of Common Stock. All terms used
herein have the meanings defined in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise
defined herein.
We
have
acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation, preparation
and execution of the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the transactions
contemplated thereunder.
In
rendering this opinion, we have examined the originals, or copies properly
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being in the form
of
the originals, of the following:
(a)
the Purchase Agreement;
(b)
|
the
Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with
the
Nevada Secretary of State on March 9, 2005 and the Certificate of
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary
of
State on October 19, 2007, certified to us by an officer of the Company
as
being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this
letter
(together, the “Amended Articles”);
|
(c)
|
the
Bylaws of the Company, certified to us by an officer of the Company
as
being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this
letter;
|
(d)
|
documents
evidencing the corporate proceedings taken by the Company to authorize
and
effect the execution, delivery and performance of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
|
(e)
|
a
Certificate of Existence With Status in Good Standing for the Company
issued on January 8, 2008 by the Secretary of State of Nevada, a
Certificate of Status of Foreign Corporation for the Company issued
on
January 4, 2008 by the Secretary of State of California, and an Entity
Status for the Company issued by the California Franchise Tax Board
on
January 4, 2008 stating that the Company is in good standing with
the
California Franchise Tax Board; and
|
To
the
Investors
_______________,

(f)
|
an
Officer’s Certificate of the Company provided to us as of the date of this
letter concerning certain factual matters relevant to this opinion.
|
As
to various questions of fact
material to our opinion, we have, to the extent we deemed it appropriate,
reviewed and relied upon the representations and warranties made by the Company
in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and statements and certificates of the
officers of the Company, and of public officials and others. With regard to
such
factual matters relevant to this opinion as to which we have relied upon said
representations, warranties, statements and certificates of the officers of
the
Company and others, we have not sought to verify independently the existence
of
the facts as represented to us, but we are aware of no facts which would lead
us
to believe that the opinions expressed herein are not appropriate.
In
rendering this opinion, we have
assumed the following:
(i)
All documents submitted to us as originals are complete and authentic; all
copies of documents submitted to us conform in all respects to the originals
thereof, including all amendments or modifications thereto; and all originals
or
copies submitted to us have not been amended or modified since the date they
were submitted to us, by written or oral agreement of the parties thereto,
by
the conduct of the parties thereto or otherwise;
(ii)
The signatures on all original documents examined by us are genuine and all
copies of such documents submitted to us are genuine;
(iii)
The due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (other than
by
the Company), where authorization, execution and delivery are a prerequisite
to
the effectiveness thereof;
(iv)
All individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to
so
execute and deliver;
(v)
Each party to the Purchase Agreement, other than the Company and individuals,
is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under its jurisdiction
of
organization and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct
of its business or its ownership or leasing of property currently requires
that
it qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, with the corporate or other
organizational power to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement;
each party to the Purchase Agreement, other than the Company, has complied
with
any applicable requirement to file tax returns and pay taxes in each
jurisdiction in which it is required to do so; each party to the Purchase
Agreement, other than the Company, has validly authorized, executed and
delivered the Purchase Agreement; and the Purchase Agreement constitutes the
valid and binding obligation of each such party, enforceable against each such
party in accordance with its terms;
(vi)
The factual matters set forth in the Purchase Agreement are accurate and
complete in all material respects and all certificates and all other written
representations as to factual matters delivered or made to us by officers of
the
Company are accurate and complete in all material respects; and
To
the
Investors
_______________,

(vii)
Neither the execution of the Purchase Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions provided for therein contravenes any applicable law of any
jurisdiction, other than California law or federal law.
On
the basis of the foregoing
examinations and assumptions and in reliance thereon, upon the representations
of the Investors and the other parties to the Purchase Agreement, and upon
all
such other matters of fact as we deemed relevant under the circumstances, and
subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion
that as of the date hereof:
1.
The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has qualified to
do
business and is in good standing in the State of California.
2.
The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property and assets,
and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.
3.
The Company has the requisite corporate power to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms.
4.
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001, of which 324,570,524 shares are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the First Closing. The outstanding shares of
Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid
and
nonassessable. The Shares have been duly authorized, and upon
issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms
of
the Purchase Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. To our knowledge, there are no options,
warrants, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights outstanding
prior to the First Closing to purchase any of the authorized but unissued
capital stock of the Company, other than the participation rights provided
in
the Rights Agreement dated as of August 17, 2007 by and between the Company
and
the investors named therein, rights created in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, warrants to purchase 16,336,433 shares
of Common Stock, outstanding options granted under the Company’s 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan to purchase 27,068,327 shares of Common Stock, and 18,291,337
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2005 Equity
Incentive Plan.
5.
The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and the
issuance of the Shares pursuant thereto do not violate any provision of the
Company’s Amended Articles or Bylaws, and do not constitute a default under or a
material breach of any material agreement that is listed as an exhibit to the
SEC Filings, and do not violate (a) any United States federal or California
governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically
applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
or (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award
which has been entered against the Company and of which we have knowledge,
in
each case to the extent the violation of which would materially and adversely
affect the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
To
the
Investors
_______________,

6.
To our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or
overtly threatened against the Company before any court or administrative agency
that questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement or that could reasonably
be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material
adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.
7.
Based in part on the representations of the Investors in the Purchase Agreement,
all consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings,
registrations and qualifications with any United States federal or California
regulatory authority or governmental body on the part of the Company required
for the issuance of the Shares have been made, obtained or effected as of the
Closing, except for filings pursuant to (a) Regulation D of the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and (b) any required filings pursuant
to
state “blue sky” laws.
8.
Based in part upon the representations made by the Company and the Investors
in
the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares in conformity with
the
terms of the Purchase Agreement do not require registration under Section 5
of
the 1933 Act.
9.
The Company is not, and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the
Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof, will not be, an
“investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
The
opinions expressed above are
subject to the following:
(a)
The application and effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, anti-deficiency, or similar laws or court decisions relating to
or
affecting the rights of creditors generally;
(b)
We express no opinion as to whether specific performance of any of the remedies,
covenants or other provisions of the Purchase Agreement is
available;
(c)
We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance with applicable
federal and state anti-fraud statutes concerning the issuance of
securities;
(d)
We express no opinion on (i) the effect of judicial decisions which may permit
the introduction of extrinsic evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation
of the Purchase Agreement; (ii) any requirement that provisions of the Purchase
Agreement may only be waived in writing as to its enforceability to the extent
an oral agreement has been executed modifying provisions of the Purchase
Agreement; (iii) the enforceability of indemnification or contribution
provisions, which may be unenforceable in certain circumstances; (iv) the
enforceability of any provision waiving the right to a jury trial; (v) the
enforceability of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (vi) the right to damages;
or (vii) the limitations imposed by general principles of equity, including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and
fair
dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding equity or
law;
(e)
In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph (1) above regarding the due
incorporation, valid existence and good standing of the Company in Nevada and
in
paragraphs (2) and (3) regarding the Company’s corporate powers, we inform you
that we are not licensed to practice law in Nevada and have relied without
further investigation on our review of (i) the Company's Amended Articles and
Bylaws; (ii) the Company's minute book; (iii) a Certificate of Existence with
Status in Good Standing issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada
with respect to the Company; (iv) relevant portions of the Nevada Revised
Statutes and (v) a certificate of an officer of the Company as to certain
factual matters;
To
the
Investors

(f)
In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 4 above relating to the status
of the capitalization of the Company, we have relied without further
investigation on our review of the Company's Amended Articles and a summary
of
outstanding securities of the Company certified to us by an officer of the
Company;
(g)
We have acted as counsel to the Company only with respect to certain corporate
matters, the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement and the rendering of these
opinions. Accordingly, we may not have knowledge of all matters of fact or
law
relating to the Company that may be relevant in connection with the opinions
herein. Any alteration of those facts may adversely affect our opinions.
Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "known to us," "to our knowledge,"
"to our current actual knowledge," or similar phrase, it is intended to indicate
that during the course of our representation of the Company, no information
that
would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement
has
come to the attention of those attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal
services to the Company in connection with the negotiation, execution and
delivery of the Purchase Agreement. However, except as otherwise expressly
indicated, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine
the
accuracy of any such statement (including, without limitation, any search of
litigation filings in any court), and any limited inquiry undertaken by us
during the preparation of this letter should not be regarded as such an
investigation. No inference as to our current actual knowledge of any matters
bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact
of
our representation of the Company.
We
have not been requested to opine,
and we have not opined, as to any issues other than those expressly set forth
herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters
expressly stated herein. Our opinion is limited to the current
federal laws of the United States of America and the current laws of the State
of California, present judicial interpretations thereof and to facts as they
presently exist. We also refer you to the qualification in paragraph
(e) above with respect to Nevada law. We note that the Purchase
Agreement is governed by New York law and, with your permission, we are
rendering the opinions in paragraph (3) above regarding the validity, binding
effect and enforceability of the Purchase Agreement as though the Purchase
Agreement was governed by the internal law of the State of California and for
purposes hereof have assumed that New York and California law are identical
in
all respects. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any
particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of
any
jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject
matter hereof. In rendering this opinion, we have no obligation to
revise or supplement it should the current federal laws of the United States
of
America or of the State of California be changed by legislative action, judicial
decision or otherwise. With reference to matters of fact, this
opinion is limited to information that has come to our attention solely in
connection with matters involving this firm's engagement as counsel to the
Company.
Further,
the opinions contained in this
letter are given as of the date of this letter and are rendered exclusively
for
your benefit in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a)(v) of the
Purchase Agreement and may not be relied upon to state directly or indirectly
any general proposition or for any other purpose. We hereby disclaim any
obligation to notify any person or entity after the date hereof if any change
in
fact or law should change our opinions with respect to any matter set forth
in
this letter.

on this opinion, without our express prior written consent in each
