or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any

--------------
securities laws and the Securities Act, as applicable.
2.7 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
----------
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
or the Subsidiary that questions the validity of the Agreements or the right of
the Company to enter into them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated
herein or therein, or that might result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the assets, condition or affairs
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
the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions, suits,
proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently
threatened involving the prior employment of any of the Company's employees,
their use in connection with the Company's business of any information or
techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their
obligations under any agreements with prior employers. Neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries is a party or subject to the provisions of any order,

proposed to be conducted as set forth in written materials provided to
Purchasers by the Company without any conflict with, or infringement of, the
rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of
any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company (or the Subsidiary) bound
by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to
the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets,
licenses, information, proprietary rights and
-4-
processes of any other person or entity, except, in either case, for standard
end-user, object code, internal-use software license and support/maintenance
agreements. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has received any
communications alleging that the Company or the Subsidiary has violated or, by
conducting its business, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service
marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary rights or
processes of any other person or entity. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary
is aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including
licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that
would interfere with the use of such employee's best efforts to promote the
interests of the Company or the Subsidiary or that would conflict with the
Company's business. Neither the execution or delivery of the Agreements, nor the
carrying on of the Company's or the Subsidiary's business by the employees of
the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's or the Subsidiary'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 such employee is now
obligated. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary believes it is or will be
necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees (or persons it currently
intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company or the
Subsidiary, as applicable.

(a) Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary is not in violation or
default of any provisions of the Restated Articles, its bylaws (the "Bylaws") or
------
of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a
party or by which it is bound or of any provision of any federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Subsidiary or the
conduct of its business which violation or default would result in a material
adverse effect on the assets of the Company or the Subsidiary. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Agreements and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein or therein will not result in any such
violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of
time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the
Company or the Subsidiary.
(b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary has avoided every
condition, and has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would result
in the Company's or the Subsidiary's loss of any material right granted under
any license, distribution agreement or other agreement.

Corrupt Practices Act.

bound by any contract, agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction

provided to the Purchasers by the Company, its properties or its financial
condition.
2.11 No Conflict of Interest. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary is
-----------------------
indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its officers or directors or to
their respective spouses or children, in any amount whatsoever other than in
connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course
of business or relocation expenses of employees. To the Company's and the
Subsidiary's knowledge, none of the Company's or the Subsidiary's officers or
directors, or any members of their immediate families, are, directly or
indirectly, indebted to the Company or the Subsidiary (other than in connection
with purchases of the Company's Common Stock) or have any direct or indirect
ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company or the
-6-
Subsidiary is affiliated or with which the Company or the Subsidiary has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with the
Company or the Subsidiary except that officers, directors and/or shareholders of
the Company or the Subsidiary may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent of
the outstanding capital stock of) any publicly traded company that may compete
with the Company or the Subsidiary. To the Company's or the Subsidiary's
knowledge, none of the Company's or the Subsidiary's officers or directors or
any members of their immediate families are, directly or indirectly, interested
in any material contract with the Company or the Subsidiary. Neither the Company
nor the Subsidiary is a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
person, firm or corporation.
2.12 Rights of Registration and Voting Rights. Except as contemplated in
----------------------------------------
the Investors' Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has
granted or agreed to grant any registration rights, including piggyback rights
or any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, to any person or entity. To
the Company's and the Subsidiary's knowledge, except as contemplated in the
Voting Agreement, no shareholder of the Company or the Subsidiary has entered
into any agreements with respect to the voting of capital shares of the Company
or the Subsidiary.
2.13 Title to Property and Assets. Each of the Company and the
----------------------------
Subsidiary owns its property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens,
loans and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the
ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company's or the
Subsidiary's ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the
property and assets it leases, the Company and the Subsidiary is in compliance
with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of
any liens, claims or encumbrances.
2.14 Employee Benefit Plans. The Company does not have any Employee
----------------------
Benefit Plan as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
2.15 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary
------------------------
has filed all tax returns and reports as required by law. These returns and
reports are true and correct in all material respects. Each of the Company and
the Subsidiary has paid all taxes and other assessments due. Each of the Company
and the Subsidiary is currently in compliance in all material respects with all
state and local sales and use tax laws.
2.16 Insurance. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary has in full force
---------
and effect fire and casualty insurance policies, with extended coverage,
sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace
any of its properties that might be damaged or destroyed subject to the terms
and conditions of such policies. Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary has been
refused insurance courage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor the
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when the same shall expire upon terms at
least as favorable as those presently in effect, other than possible increases
in premiums that do not result from any act or omission of the Company or the
Subsidiary.
2.17 Labor Agreements and Actions. Neither the Company nor the
----------------------------
Subsidiary is bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is
bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract,
commitment or arrangement with any labor
-7-
union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the Company and
the Subsidiary, has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or
agents of the Company or the Subsidiary. There is no strike or other labor
dispute involving the Company or the Subsidiary pending, or to the knowledge of
the Company and the Subsidiary threatened, which could have a material adverse
effect on the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or
business of the Company or the Subsidiary, nor is the Company or the Subsidiary
aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees. Neither the
Company nor the Subsidiary has a present intention to terminate the employment
of any officer or key employee. The employment of each officer and employee of
the Company is terminable at the will of the Company or the Subsidiary. No
employee has any agreement or contract regarding his employment or providing for
any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company
or the Subsidiary. To the Company's or the Subsidiary's knowledge, no employee
or consultant of the Company or the Subsidiary is in violation of any term of
employment, employment contract or any other contract or agreement relating to
the relationship of such person to the Company or the Subsidiary because of the
nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company or the
Subsidiary. The employment of each officer and employee of the Company or the
Subsidiary is terminable at the will of the Company or the Subsidiary, as
applicable. To its knowledge, the Company and the Subsidiary have complied in
all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal employment
opportunity laws and with other laws related to employment.
2.18 Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreements. Each
------------------------------------------------------------
employee, consultant and officer of the Company and the Subsidiary has executed
an agreement with the Company and the Subsidiary, as applicable, regarding
confidentiality and proprietary information substantially in the form or forms
delivered to the counsel for the Purchasers. Neither the Company nor the
Subsidiary is aware that any of its employees or consultants is in violation
thereof, and the Company and the Subsidiary will use its respective best efforts
to prevent any such violation.
2.19 Permits. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary has all franchises,
-------
permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its
business, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiary.
Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary is in default in any material respect
under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authority, and
reasonably believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar
authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted.
2.20 Corporate Documents. The Restated Articles and the Bylaws are in
-------------------
the form provided to counsel for the Purchasers. The copy of the minute books of
the Company provided to the Purchasers' counsel contains minutes of all meetings
of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders and all actions by written
consent without a meeting by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders since
the date of incorporation and reflects accurately in all material respects all
actions by the Board of Directors (and any committee of Board of Directors) and
the Shareholders with respect to all transactions referred to in such minutes.
-8-
2.21 Financial Statements. The Company has made available to each
--------------------
Purchaser its unaudited financial statements (including balance sheet, income
statement and statement of cash flows) as of August 31, 1999 (collectively, the
"Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements are complete and correct in
--------------------
all material respects and have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the
periods indicated, except that the unaudited Financial Statements may not
contain all footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The
Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the
periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. Except
as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no material
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business subsequent to August 31, 1999 and (b) obligations
under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and
not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in
the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate
are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
2.22 Changes. Since August 31, 1999, there has not been:
