part of the risk of loss associated with the ownership of the Shares by the
Investor. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without
limitation, effecting any short sale or equity swap transaction or having in
effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the

comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such other
securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of
such prospectuses or preliminary prospectuses;
(e) file documents required of the Company
for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by the Investors
and use its best efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the
period the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the S-3
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 7.1(c); provided, 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;
(f) bear all expenses in connection with the
procedures in paragraph (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and the registration
of the Shares pursuant to the S-3 Registration Statement except with respect to
any legal or attorney fees incurred by any of the Investors in connection with
the S-3 Registration Statement and any amendments thereto; and
(g) advise each Investor, promptly after the
Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop
order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the S-3
Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that
purpose; and it will promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if
such stop order should be issued.
The Investors acknowledge that the Company may
include on the S-3 Registration Statement shares of Common Stock of the Company
for resale by certain other stockholders of the Company, and that the Company
may file a subsequent registration statement for the resale of shares of Common
Stock by certain other stockholder of the Company. In no other event at any time
before the S-3 Registration Statement becomes effective with respect to the
Shares shall the Company publicly announce or file any other registration
statement, other than registration statements on Form S-8, without the prior
written consent of a majority in interest of the Investors.
7.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension.
(a) Each Investor agrees that it will not
effect any disposition of the Shares or their right to purchase the Shares that
would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except as
contemplated in the S-3 Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 hereof
and as described below or as otherwise permitted by law, and that such Investor
will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in
the S-3 Registration Statement regarding such Investor or its plan of
distribution.
11
(b) Except in the event that Section 7.2(c)
applies, the Company shall (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and
file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the S-3
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or a supplement
or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
required document so that such S-3 Registration Statement will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares being sold
thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; (ii) provide each Investor copies of any documents
filed pursuant to Section 7.2(b)(i); and (iii) inform each Investor that the
Company has complied with its obligations in Section 7.2(b)(i) (or that, if the
Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the S-3 Registration Statement
which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify each Investor
to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such
post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify each
Investor when the amendment has become effective).
(c) Subject to Section 7.2(d), in the event
(i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority during the period of effectiveness of the S-3 Registration Statement
for amendments or supplements to the S-3 Registration Statement or related
prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any
other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the S-3 Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any
event or circumstance which, upon the advice of its counsel, necessitates the
making of any changes in the S-3 Registration Statement or prospectus, or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so
that, in the case of the S-3 Registration Statement, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the
Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to each Investor (the "Suspension
Notice") to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension
Notice, such Investor will refrain from selling any Shares pursuant to the S-3
Registration Statement (a "Suspension") until such Investor's receipt of copies
of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or
until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be
used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the
event of any Suspension, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the use
of the prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable
within 20 business days after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the
Investors. The time periods set forth in Section 7.1(c) hereof for which the
Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the S-3 Registration
Statement shall be extended by the aggregate number of days of all Suspensions.
In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without
limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investors, the Investors shall
be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to
comply with the provisions of this Section 7.2(c).
12
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs
of this Section 7.2, the Investors shall not be prohibited from selling Shares
under the S-3 Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than two
occasions of not more than 30 days each in any twelve-month period, unless, in
the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, upon the written
opinion of counsel, the sale of Shares under the S-3 Registration Statement in
reliance on this Section 7.2(d) would be reasonably likely to cause a violation
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and result in liability to the
Company.
(e) Provided that a Suspension is not then
in effect, each Investor may sell Shares under the S-3 Registration Statement,
provided that it arranges for delivery of a current prospectus to the transferee
of such Shares. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company has agreed to
provide an adequate number of current prospectuses to each Investor and to
supply copies to any other parties requiring such prospectuses.
(f) In the event of a sale of Shares by any
Investor pursuant to the S-3 Registration Statement, such Investor must also
deliver to the Company's transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a
Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit D, and its stock certificate, so that the Shares may be properly
transferred.
7.3 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section
7.3:
(i) the term "Selling Stockholder" shall include
each Investor and any affiliate of such Investor;
(ii) the term "Registration Statement" shall include
the prospectus in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of
the Securities Act or filed as part of the S-3 Registration Statement at the
time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, and any exhibit,
supplement or amendment included in or relating to the S-3 Registration
Statement referred to in Section 7.1; and
(iii) the term "untrue statement" shall include any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Selling Stockholder (and each person, if any, who controls each
Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) from
and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling
Stockholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) any breach of the
representations or warranties of the Company contained herein or failure to
comply with the covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein, (ii)
any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement
as amended at the time of effectiveness or any omission of a material fact
13
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking
included in the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness, and the
Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder for any reasonable and
documented legal expenses and any other actual, accountable out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend
any such action, proceeding or claim, or preparing to defend any such action,
proceeding or claim, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in
any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration
Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration
Statement or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with its
covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of
the Shares or any statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in
any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Selling Stockholder prior to
the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Stockholder. The Company shall
reimburse each Selling Stockholder for the amounts provided for herein within a
reasonable period of time after demand thereof.
(b) Each Selling Stockholder agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer
of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the
Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become
subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out
of, or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and
agreements contained in Section 7.2 hereof respecting sale of the Shares, or
(ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading if such untrue statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in
preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Selling Stockholder will
reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the
case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or
claim. Each Selling Stockholder's indemnity obligations under this Section
7.3(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder
in connection with the Registration Statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any
indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in
respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person
pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the
indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such
action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying person will not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified person under this
Section 7.3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely
affects the indemnifying person's ability to defend such action) or from any
liability otherwise than under this Section 7.3. Subject to the provisions
hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate
therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to
14
the indemnified person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified person, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from
the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however,
that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same
counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or
any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided,
however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local
counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person
be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the
indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided
that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
indemnified person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have
been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in
this Section 7.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified person under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
referred to therein, then each indemnifying person shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified person as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the
one hand and the relative fault of an Investor, as well as any other Selling
Shareholders under such Registration Statement, on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether
the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one
hand or an Investor or other Selling Shareholder on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors and other Selling
Shareholders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to above in this Section 7.3(d). The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7.3(d) shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3(d), each Investor
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the net amount received by such Investor from the sale of the Shares to which
such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Investor has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person
15
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. Each Investor's obligations in
this Section 7.3(d) to contribute shall be in proportion to its sale of Shares
to which such loss relates and shall not be joint with any other Selling
Shareholders.
(e) Each Investor hereby acknowledges that
it is a sophisticated business person who was represented by counsel during the
negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the
provisions of this Section 7.3, and is fully informed regarding said provisions.
Each Investor further acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 7.3
fairly allocate the risks involved in the purchase of the Shares. The Investors
and the Company are advised that federal or state public policy as interpreted
by the courts in certain jurisdictions may be contrary to certain of the
provisions of this Section 7.3, and the Investors and the Company hereto hereby
expressly waive and relinquish any right or ability to assert such public policy
as a defense to a claim under this Section 7.3 and further agree not to attempt
to assert any such defense.
7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The
conditions precedent imposed by Articles 5, 7 and 8 upon the transferability of
the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares
when such Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act
and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of
disposition set forth in the S-3 Registration Statement covering such Shares or
at such time as an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in
order to comply with the Securities Act.
8. Restriction on Transfer of Shares.
8.1 Restrictions. The Shares are only transferable
pursuant to (a) a public offering registered under the Securities Act, or (b)
pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws.
8.2 Legend. Each certificate representing Shares
shall be endorsed with the following legend:
"The shares represented by this certificate may not be
transferred without (i) an exemption from the registration
requirements under the Federal Securities Act of 1933 and all
applicable state securities laws or (ii) such registration."
8.3 Removal of Legend. Any legend endorsed on a certificate
evidencing a security pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof shall be removed, and the
Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such
security, if such security is being disposed of pursuant to a registration under
the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or any similar rule then in effect or
if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company to the effect that a transfer of such security may be made without
registration. In addition, if the holder of such security delivers to the
Company an opinion of such counsel to the effect that no subsequent transfer of
such security will require registration under the Securities Act, the Company
will promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates
evidencing such security that do not bear the legend set forth in Section 8.2.
16
9. Covenants of the Company.
9.1 Board of Directors. For as long as Alta BioPharma
Partners II, L.P. ("Alta"), together with its affiliates, owns in the aggregate
at least 25% of the shares of Common Stock purchased by Alta and its affiliates
on the Closing Date, the Company will cause Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, or such other
substitute person as Alta may designate from time to time (any such person so
designated by Alta is referred to as the "Alta Designee"), to be included in the
slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors to stockholders for
election as directors at any meeting of stockholders of the Company and shall
not make any recommendation against election of the Alta Designee to the
stockholders.
9.2 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will
timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder

request of any Investor holding Shares purchased hereunder made after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, make publicly available such information as
necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it
will take such further action as any such Investor may reasonably request, all
to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell Shares
purchased hereunder without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of an Investor, the
Company will deliver to such Investor a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such information and requirements.
10. Miscellaneous.
10.1 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or
delay on the part of the Investors, or any other holder of any Shares in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
10.2 Amendments; Waiver and Consents. Except as
otherwise set forth in the following sentence, this agreement may be amended or
modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of
Shares purchased under this agreement may be waived, only by the written consent
of holders of a majority of the Shares that have not been resold in a public
offering or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 9.1 hereof may be amended, modified
or waived only upon the written consent of Alta. Any waiver or consent may be
given subject to satisfaction of conditions stated therein and any waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
17
10.3 Changes, Waivers, Etc. Neither this agreement
nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, but only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to
the extent provided in Section 10.2.
10.4 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and
other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and

notice to the Company.
(b) if to the Company at 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx,

will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties

interests and obligations attached to the Shares, upon
transfer of the same in accordance with Section 5.1 and

interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the
Company without the prior written consent of the Investors
hereto.
10.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision
of this agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this agreement is held to be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
agreement.
10.7 Complete Agreement. This agreement and other
exhibits and schedules hereto contain the complete agreement between the parties
and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or
between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject
matter hereof in any way.

to conflicts of laws principles, of the State of Delaware will govern all

original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
10.10 Survival of Representations, Warranties and
Agreements. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this
agreement, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Company and the Investor herein shall survive the execution of this agreement,

FORM OF LEGAL OPINION
December ___, 2001
To the Investors Listed on Schedule 1 to
the Stock Purchase Agreement by and among
Orphan Medical, Inc. and such Investors
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Orphan Medical, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance on the Closing Date
of 1,706,999 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value ("Common
Stock"), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December
7, 2001 (the "Agreement"), between the Company and the Investors named therein.
Our opinions expressed below are being delivered to you pursuant to Section 6.5
of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein are as defined in the Agreement
unless otherwise specifically provided herein.
We have examined such documents, made such inquiries of
officers of the Company and have reviewed such questions of law as we have
considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.
In rendering our opinions expressed below, we have assumed the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of
all signatures, and the conformity to authentic originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity for all
purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties
to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company, that such
parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to
execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such
agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action
(corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties and that such
agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of
such parties. As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied
upon the representations made in the Agreement and certificates of officers of
the Company and of public officials.
Our opinions expressed below as to certain factual matters are
qualified as being limited "to our knowledge" or by other words to the same or
similar effect. Such words, as used herein, mean the information known to all
attorneys currently a member of or employed by Xxxxxx & Whitney LLP who have
given substantive legal attention to the Company's affairs.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, with the corporate power to own its
properties and conduct its business as now conducted. The
Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver the Agreement and issue the Shares and to otherwise
perform its obligations under the Agreement.
2. The execution and delivery of the Agreement and
the performance of the Company's obligations under the
Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
and stockholder action. The 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.
3. The Shares, upon issuance, delivery and payment
therefor as described in the Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable with the rights,
privileges and preferences set forth in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation.
4. The execution and delivery of the Agreement and
the performance of the Company's obligations under the
Agreement do not violate (i) any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (ii) any provision
of any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation,
(iii) any statutory or, to our knowledge, contractual
preemptive right of any securityholder of the Company, (iv)
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of
the Company related to preemptive rights of any securityholder
of the Company, or (v) to our knowledge, any order of any
court or other agency of government.
5. Based upon the Investors' representations
contained in the Agreement, the issuance, sale and delivery of
the Shares to the Investors on the Closing Date in conformity
with the terms of the Agreement constitute transactions exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
6. No approval or consent of any court or
governmental agency, instrumentality or authority of the
United States or the State of Minnesota not duly obtained
(other than any approval or consent required under any state
securities or Blue Sky laws) is required for the execution and
delivery by the Company of the Agreement or the valid
authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following
qualifications and exceptions:
(a) Our opinion in paragraph 2 above is subject to
the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general
application affecting creditors' rights and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).
(b) Our opinion in paragraph 2 above, insofar as it
relates to indemnification provisions, is subject to the
effect of federal and state securities laws and public policy
relating thereto.
(c) We express no opinion as to whether the issuance,
sale and delivery of the Shares to the Investors and the
performance of the Company's obligations under the Agreement
constitute a "change of control" as that phrase is defined
under paragraph 4350(i)(1)(B) of the Marketplace Rules
promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market or require approval of
the Company's shareholders pursuant to the aforementioned
paragraph 4350(i)(1)(B).
(d) Minnesota Statutes, Section 290.371, Subd. 4,
provides that any corporation required to file a Notice of
Business Activities Report does not have a cause of action
upon which it may bring suit under Minnesota law unless the
corporation has filed a Notice of Business Activities Report
and that the use of the courts of the State of Minnesota for
all contracts executed and all causes of actions that arose
before the end of any period for which a corporation failed to
file a required report is precluded. Insofar as the foregoing
opinion in paragraph 2 above may relate to the enforceability
of any agreement under Minnesota law or in a Minnesota court,
we have assumed that any party seeking to enforce the
agreement has at all times been, and will continue at all
times to be, exempt from the requirement of filing a Notice of
Business Activities Report or, if not exempt, has duly filed,
and will continue to duly file, all Notice of Business
Activities Reports.
Our opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the
State of Minnesota, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of
the United States. We call your attention to the fact that the Agreement states
that it is governed by Delaware law. We have not examined the question of what
law would govern the interpretation or enforcement of the Agreement, and our
opinion in paragraph 2 above is based on the assumption, for purposes of this
opinion, that the internal laws of the State of Minnesota would govern the
provisions of such Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The foregoing opinions are being furnished to you solely for
your benefit and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any
other person without our prior written consent.
Very truly yours,
