Representations
and Warranties of the Company.
The
Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the
Investor:
(a) Subsidiaries.
The
Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries (as defined below) other than
as
specified in all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”),
and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”),
including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months
preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required
by
law to file such reports) (the foregoing materials being collectively referred
to herein as the “SEC
Reports”).
Except
as disclosed in Schedule
2(a),
the
Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each
Subsidiary free and clear of any and all Liens (as defined below), and all
the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly
issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar
rights. “Lien”
means
any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, right of first refusal or
other restrictions of any kind. “Subsidiary”
means
any “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of the Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act.
(b) Organization
and Qualification.
The
Company and each Subsidiary are duly incorporated or otherwise organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its
incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation
of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. The Company
and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses
and
are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned
by
it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so
qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually
or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. “Material
Adverse Effect”
means
any of (i) a material and adverse effect on the legality, validity or
enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material and adverse effect
on the results of operations, assets, prospects, business or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or (iii) an adverse impairment to the Company’s ability to perform on a timely
basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (as defined
below).
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement.
The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and
delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company in connection therewith. Each Transaction
Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company
and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation
or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(d) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby
do
not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or
any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both)
of,
any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company
or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company
or
any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company
or
any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction
of
any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is
subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by
which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected;
except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect.
2
(e) Filings,
Consents and Approvals.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other
governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other
than
(i) filings required by state securities laws, (ii) filings required in
accordance with Section 5(e), (iii) filings required pursuant to the Security
Agreement and (iv) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date
of
this Agreement.
(f) Omitted
(g) Capitalization.
The
number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company, and all shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”),
reserved for issuance under the Company’s various option and incentive plans, is
specified in the SEC Reports. Except as specified in the SEC Reports and as
disclosed in Schedule
2(g),
no
securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, and
no
Person (as defined below) has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,
right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as specified in the SEC
Reports
and

commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock,

The
issue
and sale of the Note will not, immediately or with the passage of time, obligate
the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Investor) and will not result in a
right of any holder of Company or Subsidiary securities to adjust the exercise,
conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. “Person”
means an
individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated
association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company,

kind.

of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the
SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained

applied

of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach
of
fiduciary duty, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports. There

individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with all effective

regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it, except where such
noncompliance could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material

(n) Regulatory
Permits.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in
the
SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any
such
permits.
(o) Title
to Assets.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
2(o),
the
Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to
all
real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses
and
good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is
material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by
them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and the
Subsidiaries are in compliance, except as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material
for
use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports and which the failure to so have could, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual
Property Rights”).

and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company is the named beneficiary of a key-man life insurance policy
with respect to its Chief Executive Officer for a coverage amount of no less
than $1,000,000. The Company has a directors and officers liability insurance
policy with respect to the Company’s Board of Directors for a coverage amount of
no less than $5,000,000. The Company has no reason to believe that it will
not
be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ 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 on terms consistent with market
for
the Company’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective lines of business.
4
(r) Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees.
Except
as set forth in or otherwise not required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports,
none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the
Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently
a
party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for
services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to
or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise
requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to
the
knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any
such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner.
(s) Internal
Accounting Controls.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries maintain 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(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or
10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers
have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures in
accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act for the
Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the
“Evaluation
Date”).
The
Company presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q 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
Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308T of Regulation
S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors
that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.
(t) Continuing
Operations.
Based
on the financial condition of the Company and each Subsidiary as of the Closing
Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), the Company and each
Subsidiary shall have sufficient capital to carry on its business through the
Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) as now conducted and as proposed to
be
conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company and each Subsidiary,
and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof.
(u) Certain
Fees.
Except
as described in Schedule
2(u),
no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder,
placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor shall have no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than
such fees or commissions owed by the Investor pursuant to written agreements
executed by the Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole
responsibility of the Investor) made by or on behalf of other Person for fees
of
a type contemplated in this Section 3(u) that may be due in connection with
the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5
(v) Certain
Registration Matters.
Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth
in Section 4, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the
offer

Documents. The Company is eligible to register its Common Stock for resale
by
the Investor under Form S-1 promulgated under the Securities Act. Except as
specified in the SEC Reports and except as set forth on Schedule
2(v),
neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has granted or agreed to grant to any Person
any
rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of
the Company registered with the SEC or any other governmental authority that
have not been satisfied.

and Maintenance Requirements.
Except
as specified in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, since January 1, 2008,
received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not
in
compliance with the listing, quoting or maintenance requirements thereof. The
Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with the listing, quoting or maintenance
requirements for continued listing or quoting of the Common Stock on the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. The issuance
and
sale of the Note under the Transaction Documents does not contravene the rules
and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently
listed or quoted, and no approval of the stockholders of the Company thereunder
is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investor the Note
contemplated by Transaction Documents.
(x) Investment
Company.
The
Company and each Subsidiary is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately
following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(y) Application
of Takeover Protections.
The
Company has taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable
any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including
any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision
under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable
to
the Investor as a result of the Investor and the Company fulfilling their
obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents,
including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Note and the
Investor’s ownership of the Note.
(z) No
Additional Agreements.
The
Company does not have any agreement or understanding with the Investor with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other
than
as specified in the Transaction Documents.
(aa) Consultation
with Auditors.
The
Company and each Subsidiary has consulted its independent auditors concerning
the accounting treatment of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, and in connection therewith has furnished such auditors complete
copies of the Transaction Documents.
(bb) Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent
or other person acting on behalf of any of the Company or any Subsidiary, has,
directly or indirectly, (i) used any funds, or will use any proceeds from the
sale of the Note, for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other
unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made
any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees
or
to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds,
(iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any
Subsidiary (or made by any Person acting on their behalf of which the Company
is
aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) has violated in any material
respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended,
and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(cc) PFIC.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is or intends to become a “passive foreign
investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(dd) OFAC.
Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any
director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or Person acting on behalf of
the
Company or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”);
and
the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale of
the
Note, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any
Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person or entity, towards any sales
or operations in Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Myanmar or any other country
sanctioned by OFAC or for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person
currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.
(ee) Money
Laundering Laws.
The
operations of each of the Company and any Subsidiary are and have been conducted
at all times in compliance with the money laundering statutes of applicable
jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar
rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any
applicable governmental agency (collectively, the “Money
Laundering Laws”)
and no
action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency,
authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company and/or any Subsidiary
with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Company, threatened.
(ff) Dependence
on Major Customers.
No
single customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries accounted for more
than 10% of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ total sales during the
calendar year of 2007.
(gg) Disclosure.
All
disclosure provided to the Investor regarding the Company (including each
Subsidiary), its and any Subsidiary’s business and the transactions contemplated
hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company (including the Company’s
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct
and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Investor is not relying on the Company or its Affiliates with respect to
economic considerations involved in this investment.
(o) The
Investor understands and agrees that the Investor must bear the economic risk

securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is

affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and

a
person not previously known to the Investor in connection with investments
in
securities generally.
(u) The
Investor has not engaged any placement agent, financial advisor or broker,
which
would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’
fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby and, in turn, to be paid to other selected dealers.
(v) The
foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall survive the
Closing.
5. Other
Agreements of the Parties.
(a) The
Note
may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.
In
connection with any transfer of the Note other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of the Investor or
in
connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 5(b), the Company may
require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Note under the Securities
Act.
(b) The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Note pursuant to a bona
fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if
required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may
transfer the pledged or secured Note to the pledgees or secured parties. Such
a
pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company
and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor
shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may
be
required in connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the
Investor transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge.
At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Note may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Note.
(c) As
long
as the Investor owns the Note, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period)
all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant
to
the Exchange Act. As long as the Investor owns the Note, if the Company is
not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish
to
the Investor and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144 such
information as is required for the Investor to sell the Note under Rule 144.
The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder
of
the Note may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to
enable such Person to sell the Note without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
9
(d) The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate
of
the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Note in a manner
that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of
the
Note to the Investor, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of
the
Note for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner
that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the Note to the
Investor.
(e) By
9:00
a.m. (New York time) four (4) Trading Days following the execution of this
Agreement, and by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) four (4) Trading Days following
the

filings and notices in the manner and time required by the SEC and the Trading
Market on which the Common Stock is quoted or listed in connection with the
Transaction Documents.
(f) In
addition to the indemnity provided in any other Transaction Document, the
Company will indemnify and hold the Investor and its directors, officers,
shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor
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 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 any Transaction Document.
In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each
Investor Party for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost
of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred
in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred.
(g)
The
Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on
its
behalf will provide the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information

confirms that the Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations
in

content of its negotiations with the Investor, including the terms of the

Investor will maintain all confidential information it obtains from the Company
in accordance with the provisions of that certain Confidentiality Agreement,
dated as of December 26, 2007, by and among the Investor and the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any activities undertaken by the Investor on
behalf of the Company, such as discussions with potential investors or strategic

obligations.

Investor and the Company agree not to engage in any activities designed to
manipulate the trading price of the Common Stock.
