any of its Subsidiaries,
or their officers
or directors in their
capacity as such, that could have a
Material Adverse Effect (except with respect to the lawsuit brought against the

reasonable security measures to
protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.

fair market value in excess of
the amount required to pay its probable liabilities

included in connection therewith as such debts

any such Subsidiary has any reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Upon
written request the
Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct

or that otherwise
could be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has
notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer

of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in
violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure
or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or
any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and

any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any
of the foregoing matters.
