Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) on the ability of the

Subsidiary).

neither the Company nor any Subsidiary had any material liability or obligation
(whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated), other than

of the Company, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has become subject to any
such liability or obligation, other than liabilities and obligations incurred in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of a type
reflected in the Audited Financial Statements, which are not inconsistent with

respect to any alleged failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to have any
Environmental Permit required in connection with its business or (iii) with
respect to any generation, treatment, storage, recycling, transportation or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance.
(d) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written
request for information, notice of claim, demand or notification that it is or

filing with any person, including any environmental governmental authority or
regulatory agency, is required in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

otherwise has the right to use, and has the right to bring actions for the

copyrights, mask works, inventions, technology, know-how, designs, formulae,
trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information, computer software
(other than standard, commercially available off-the-shelf software), domain
names, and other intellectual property necessary for the operation of business
of the Company and any Subsidiary as it is currently conducted and as proposed

party is in breach of or default under any license or other agreement relating
to the Intellectual Property and each such license or other agreement is now and
immediately following the Closing shall be valid and in full force and effect.
(b) The business operations of the Company and any Subsidiary as

industrial design rights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress,
copyrights, mask works, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of
any third party, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the

(c) All of the patents, industrial design registrations, trademark and
service xxxx registrations, copyright registrations, mask work registrations and
domain name registrations comprising the Intellectual Property are in full force
and effect, are held of record in the name of the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other claims, and are
not the subject of any cancellation or reexamination proceeding or any other
proceeding challenging their extent or validity. The Company or the applicable
Subsidiary is the applicant of record in all patent applications, and
applications for trademark, service xxxx, trade dress, industrial design,
copyright, mask work and domain name registration that comprise the Intellectual

connection with such patents and registrations have been paid and all necessary
documents and certificates in connection with such patents and registrations
have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other
authorities in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, as the case may be,
for the purposes of maintaining such patents and registrations.
(d) To the extent that any works of authorship, materials, products,
inventions, technology or software have been developed or created independently
or jointly by any person other than the Company or any Subsidiary, or an
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary other than pursuant to such employee's
regular, salaried responsibilities to the Company and/or Subsidiary, and for
which the Company or any Subsidiary has, directly or indirectly, paid, the
Company or the applicable Subsidiary has a written agreement with such person
with respect thereto, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereby has
obtained ownership of, and is the exclusive owner of, all Intellectual Property
therein or thereto by operation of law or by valid assignment. In each case in
which either the Company or any Subsidiary has acquired any Intellectual
Property from any person, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary has obtained
a valid and enforceable assignment sufficient to irrevocably transfer all rights
in such Intellectual Property (including the right to seek past and future
damages with respect thereto) to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary and,
to the maximum extent provided for by, and in accordance with, any applicable
laws and regulations, the Company has recorded each such assignment with the
relevant governmental authorities, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, or their respective equivalents in any
relevant foreign jurisdiction.

Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Company and each
Subsidiary has, and enforces, a policy requiring each employee, consultant and
contractor to execute proprietary information, confidentiality and assignment
agreements substantially in the Company's standard forms, and all current and
former employees, consultants and contractors of the Company or any Subsidiary
have executed such an agreement in substantially the Company's standard form. To
the knowledge of the Company, none of the material trade secrets, know-how or
other confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any Subsidiary
has been disclosed to any person unless such disclosure was necessary, and was
made pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement.
(f) All computer software currently used in the Business and any
Subsidiary will consistently and accurately interpret, calculate, manipulate,
store and exchange date/time data from, into, and between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, including, without limitation the years 1999, 2000 and
2001 and any leap year calculations. The computer software used in the Business
does not contain any viruses, "worms", "Trojan Horses", malicious or disabling
code, or other anomalies that would substantially impair the functionality of

employees or other persons acting on their behalf, has accepted or received any
unlawful contributions, payments, gifts, or expenditures.

reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE

Document filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement (a
"FILED SEC DOCUMENT") has been revised or superseded by a later Filed SEC
Document, none of the SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements (including
the related notes) included in the SEC Documents comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted

respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives
contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not
misleading.
