proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement
or the Investor Rights Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business
by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as
presently proposed, will, to the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in
a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any employee is now
obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize
any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees
made prior to their employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information that have been assigned to the Company.

or default of any term of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or of any

decree, order, writ. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance
with this Agreement, and the Investor Rights Agreement, and the issuance and
sale of the Shares pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the
Restated Certificate, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of
notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or
constitute a default under any such term, or result in the creation of any
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or
nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the
Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company,
financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the
Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for any of the

the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment
contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to
the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the
Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company;
and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its
present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts with its
independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has
not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No
employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by
the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment
with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee, or

granted any rights, to register (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Investor
Rights Agreement) any of the Company's presently outstanding securities or any
of its securities that may hereafter be issued.
3.15 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PERMITS. To its knowledge, the Company is
not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or
restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or
agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its

assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of the
Company. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or
authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations
are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the issuance of the Shares or the Conversion Shares, except such
as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings

Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority
necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack
of which could materially and adversely affect the business, properties,
prospects or financial condition of the Company and believes it can obtain,
without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its
business as planned to be conducted.
3.16 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY LAWS. To its knowledge, the Company is
not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the
environment or occupational health and safety, and to its knowledge, no material
expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing

experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of
securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of

registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock.
Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if
available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion
of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts
or at the times Purchaser might propose.
(b) ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Purchaser is acquiring the
Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment

questions of and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding
the terms and conditions of this investment.
(f) RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares,
