(j) advise each Purchaser, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of

Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the
Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement
regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.
7.3 Indemnification
For the purpose of this Section 7.3, the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary or final
prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.
7.3.1 Indemnification by the Company
15
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers and each
person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchasers or such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the “Prospectus”), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or arise
out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under applicable law, and
will reimburse each Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising
or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon
(i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections
5.2 or 7.2 of this Agreement respecting resale of the Shares, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or (iv) any untrue statement or omission of a material fact required to make such statement not
misleading in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser before the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.
7.3.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser
Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person
may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is
16
effected with the written consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure on the part of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.2 or 7.2 of this Agreement
respecting the sale of the Shares or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction before the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and the Purchaser will reimburse the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.
7.3.3 Indemnification Procedure
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have
to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(b) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the
positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are in conflict with those available to the indemnifying
party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be
17
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless:
(i) the
indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the
Purchaser shall not be liable for any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Shares.
7.3.4 Contribution
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 in respect to any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses referred to in this Agreement
(a) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the placement of Common Stock or
(b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (a) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the activities, statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The respective relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by such Purchaser
that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount such Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such
Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company and each Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such
18
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set
forth in Section 7.3.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 7.3.4; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be
required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under Section 7.3 for purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue activity, statement or omission or alleged omission. No person 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. The Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.3 are several and not joint.
7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations
The restrictions imposed by Section 5 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares upon the passage of two years from the
Closing Date (if the Purchaser is then eligible to sell the Shares under Rule 144(k)) or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not
necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.
7.5 Information Available
From the date of this Agreement through the date the Registration Statement covering the resale of Shares owned by any
Purchaser is no longer effective, the Company will furnish to such Purchaser:
(a) as soon as practicable after available (but in the case of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders, as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission), one copy of
(i) its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants);
(ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Shareholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K;
(iii) if not included in substance in its Quarterly Reports to Shareholders, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q; and
19
(iv) a full copy of the particular Registration
Statement covering the Shares (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);
(b) upon the request of the Purchaser, a reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus to supply to any other party requiring the Prospectus.
7.6 Rule 144 Information
Until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Shares may be resold by the Purchasers without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect or (ii) all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act,
the Rules and Regulations and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action to the extent required to enable the Purchasers to sell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time).
7.7 Stock Option Matters and Prohibition on Toxics
The Company shall, within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, adopt such amendments to, with respect to (i), (ii) and (v) below, the
Company’s stock option plans and Bylaws, and, with respect to (iii) and (iv) below, the Company’s Bylaws (together, the “Stock Option Plan and Bylaw Amendments”) to provide that, unless approved by a majority vote of the shares
of common stock of the Company outstanding, the company shall not:
(i) grant
any stock option, including any stock appreciation right, with an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant;
(ii) reduce the exercise price of any stock option, including any stock appreciation right, outstanding or to be granted in the future;
cancel and re-grant options at a lower exercise price (including entering into any “6 month and 1 day” cancellation and re-grant scheme), whether or not the cancelled options are put back into the available pool for grant; replace
underwater options with restricted stock in an exchange, buy-back or other scheme; or replace any options with new options having a lower exercise price or accelerated vesting schedule in an exchange, buy-back or other scheme;
(iii) sell or issue any security of the Company convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into
shares of common stock of the Company, having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share which is subject to downward adjustment (except for appropriate adjustments made to give effect to any stock splits or stock dividends or for any
securities that are issued in replacement of the Notes (as such term is defined in the Schedule of Exceptions); provided the terms of such replacement securities that would be in violation of the requirements of this Section 7.7 but for this
exception shall be substantially the same as those that are currently contained in the Notes); or
(iv) enter into (a) any equity line or similar agreement or arrangement; or (b) any agreement to sell common stock of the Company (or any security convertible, exercisable or
20
exchangeable into shares of common stock (“Common Stock Equivalent”))
at a per share price (or, with respect to a Common Stock Equivalent, at a conversion, exercise or exchange price, as the case may be (“Equivalent Price”)) that is fixed or subject to adjustment after the execution date of the agreement,
whether or not based on any predetermined price-setting formula or calculation method (except for appropriate adjustments made to give effect to any stock splits, reverse stock splits, or stock dividends). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 7.7, however, a price protection clause shall be permitted in an agreement for sale of common stock or Common Stock Equivalent, if such clause provides for an adjustment to the price per share of common stock or, with respect to a
Common Stock Equivalent, to the Equivalent Price (provided that such price or Equivalent Price is fixed on or before the execution date of the agreement)(the “Fixed Price”) in the event that the Company, during the period beginning on the
date of the agreement and ending no later than 90 days after the closing date of the transaction, sells shares of common stock or Common Stock Equivalent to another investor at a price or Equivalent Price, as the case may be, below the Fixed Price.
(v) amend or repeal any of the provisions relating to (i) to (iv) above.
Upon the adoption of the Stock Option Plan and Bylaw Amendments, the Company shall promptly
furnish a copy of such amendments to the Purchasers. The Company agrees that, prior to the adoption of the Stock Option Plan and Bylaw Amendments by all necessary corporate action of the Company as described above, the Company shall not conduct any
of the actions specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above of this Section 7.7.
7.8 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
As soon as
practicable but before the date of the Company’s appeal hearing with NASDAQ (currently schedule for June 28, 2002), the Company agrees to prepare and file with the Commission a preliminary proxy to seek shareholder approval, by means of a
written consent solicitation, for an amendment to the Company’s Restated and Amended Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of up to 1 for 10 (the “Amendment”). Thereafter, the Company will promptly and diligently
undertake the steps necessary to obtain such shareholder consent and otherwise effectuate the Amendment.

9. |

A to the
P-Com, Inc. Share Purchase Agreement
dated as of June , 2002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for P-Com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with
the issuance and sale to you of shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the P-Com, Inc. Share Purchase Agreement dated as of
June , 2002 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and you. This opinion letter is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii) of the Share Purchase Agreement in connection
with the Closing of the sale of the Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion letter have the meanings given them in the Share Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have made such examination of matters of law and of fact as we considered appropriate or advisable for purposes hereof.
As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement and upon certificates and
statements of government officials and of officers of the Company. We have also examined originals or copies of such corporate documents or records of the Company as we have considered appropriate for the opinions expressed herein. We have assumed
for the purposes of this opinion letter the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to
us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
In
rendering this opinion letter we have also assumed: (A) that the Share Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by you or on your behalf, that each of you has the power to enter into and perform all your obligations
thereunder and has taken any and all necessary corporate, partnership or other relevant action to authorize the Share Purchase Agreement, and that the Share Purchase Agreement constitutes a valid, legal, binding and enforceable obligation upon you;
(B) that the representations and warranties made in the Share Purchase Agreement by you are true and correct; (C) that any wire transfers, drafts or checks tendered by you will be honored; and (D) if you are a corporation or other entity that you
have filed any required state franchise, income or similar tax returns and have paid any required state franchise, income or similar taxes.
As used in this opinion letter, the expression “we are not aware” or the phrase “to our knowledge,” or any similar expression or phrase with respect to our knowledge of matters of
fact, means as to matters of fact that, based on the actual knowledge of individual attorneys within the firm principally responsible for handling current matters for the Company (and not including any constructive or imputed notice of any
information), and after an examination of
A-1
documents referred to herein and after inquiries of certain officers of the Company, no facts have been
disclosed to us that have caused us to conclude that the opinions expressed are factually incorrect; but beyond that we have made no factual investigation for the purposes of rendering this opinion letter. Specifically, but without limitation, we
have not searched the dockets of any courts and we have made no inquiries of securities holders or employees of the Company, other than such officers. No inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our
representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.
This opinion letter relates
solely to the laws of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal securities laws of the United States and we express no opinion with respect to the effect or application of any other laws. Special
rulings of authorities administering such laws or opinions of other counsel have not been sought or obtained.
Based upon our examination of and reliance upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions set forth below and except as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement or the Schedule of
Exceptions related thereto, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:
A-2
THE COMPANY IS A CORPORATION DULY INCORPORATED, VALIDLY EXISTING AND IN GOOD STANDING UNDER THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. THE COMPANY IS QUALIFIED TO DO BUSINESS AS A FOREIGN CORPORATION IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE COMPANY HAS THE REQUISITE CORPORATE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO OWN ITS PROPERTIES AND TO CONDUCT ITS BUSINESS AS, TO OUR
KNOWLEDGE, IT IS PRESENTLY CONDUCTED.
THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE BY THE COMPANY OF THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND
THE SALE, ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY TO YOU OF THE SHARES HAVE BEEN DULY AUTHORIZED BY ALL NECESSARY CORPORATE ACTION ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY, ITS DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS. THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DULY EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY THE
COMPANY AND CONSTITUTES A LEGAL, VALID AND BINDING OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY, ENFORCEABLE BY YOU AGAINST THE COMPANY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS.
THE AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY CONSISTS OF 345,00,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND 2,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK.
THE SALE, ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY OF THE SHARES HAVE BEEN DULY AUTHORIZED AND, UPON PURCHASE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE SHARES WILL BE VALIDLY ISSUED, NONASSESSABLE AND FULLY PAID, AND FREE
OF ANY LIENS CREATED BY THE COMPANY. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THE COMPANY IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE SHARES.
OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SECURITIES LAWS (WITH RESPECT TO WHICH WE DIRECT YOU TO PARAGRAPH 7 BELOW), THE COMPANY’S EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF, AND ITS PERFORMANCE AND COMPLIANCE AS OF THE DATE HEREOF WITH THE
TERMS OF, THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DO NOT VIOLATE ANY PROVISION OF ANY FEDERAL, DELAWARE CORPORATE OR CALIFORNIA LAW, STATUTE, RULE OR REGULATION APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY OR ANY PROVISION OF THE COMPANY’S RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS AND DO NOT CONFLICT WITH OR VIOLATE ANY MATERIAL PROVISIONS OF ANY OF THE MATERIAL AGREEMENTS FILED AS EXHIBITS TO THE COMPANY DOCUMENTS.
OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SECURITIES LAWS (WITH RESPECT TO WHICH WE DIRECT YOU TO PARAGRAPH 7 BELOW) ALL CONSENTS, APPROVALS, ORDERS OR AUTHORIZATIONS OF, AND ALL QUALIFICATIONS BY AND
FILINGS AND REGISTRATIONS WITH, ANY FEDERAL, DELAWARE CORPORATE OR CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY NECESSARY FOR THE ISSUANCE BY THE COMPANY OF THE SHARES AS CONTEMPLATED BY THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN
MADE OR OBTAINED.
A-3
ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASERS IN THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT ARE
CORRECT, THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SHARES TO THE PURCHASERS PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT ARE EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND FROM THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA CORPORATE SECURITIES LAW OF 1968, AS AMENDED.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, WE ARE NOT AWARE
THAT THERE IS ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR GOVERNMENTAL INVESTIGATION PENDING, OR OVERTLY THREATENED IN WRITING, AGAINST THE COMPANY THAT QUESTIONS THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF, OR SEEKS TO ENJOIN OR INVALIDATE, THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY
ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
Our opinions expressed above are specifically
subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:
The legality, validity, binding
nature and enforceability of the Company’s obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement may be subject to or limited by (1) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally; (2) general principles of equity (whether relief is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the
discretion of any court of competent jurisdiction in awarding specific performance or injunctive relief and other equitable remedies; and (3) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the effect of California court decisions and statutes
which indicate that provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement which permit any of you to take action or make determinations may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or such determinations be made on a reasonable basis in good faith
or that it be shown that such action is reasonably necessary for your protection.
We express no opinion as to the
Company’s or this transaction’s compliance or noncompliance with applicable federal or state antifraud or antitrust statutes, laws, rules and regulations or Section 721 (as amended by Section 5021 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness
Act of 1988: the so-called “Exon-Xxxxxx” provision) of the Defense Production Act of 1950 and the regulations thereunder.
We express no opinion concerning the past, present or future fair market value of any securities.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability under certain circumstances of any provisions indemnifying a party against, or requiring contributions toward, that party’s liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts, or
where indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy or prohibited by law. In this regard, we advise you that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, provisions regarding indemnification of directors, officers
A-4
and controlling persons of an issuer against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, are against public policy and are therefore unenforceable.
A-5
We express no opinion as to the enforceability under certain circumstances of any provisions prohibiting
waivers of any terms of the Share Purchase Agreement other than in writing, or prohibiting oral modifications thereof or modification by course of dealing. In addition, our opinions are subject to the effect of judicial decisions which may permit
the introduction of extrinsic evidence to interpret the terms of written contracts such as the Share Purchase Agreement.
We express no
opinion as to the effect of Section 1670.5 of the California Civil Code or any other California law, federal law or equitable principle which provides that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any clause
thereof which the court finds to have been unconscionable at the time it was made or contrary to public policy.
We express no opinion as
to the effect of Sections 1203 and 1102(3) of the California Uniform Commercial Code or any other California law, federal law or equitable principle, providing for an obligation of good faith in the performance or enforcement of contracts and
prohibiting disclaimer of such obligation.
Our opinions in paragraphs 5 and 6 are limited to laws and regulations normally applicable to
transactions of the type contemplated in the Share Purchase Agreement and do not extend to licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business. In addition and without limiting the previous sentence, we express
no opinion herein with respect to the effect of any land use, safety, hazardous material, environmental or similar law, or any local or regional law. Further, we express no opinion as to the effect of or compliance with any state or federal laws or
regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement because of the nature of the business of any party thereto other than the Company. Also, we express no opinion with respect to any patent, copyright, trademark
or other intellectual property matter, or as to the statutes, regulations, treaties or common laws of any nation, state or jurisdiction with regard thereto.
In connection with our opinion in paragraph 5 relating to the agreements filed as exhibits to the Company Documents, we have not reviewed, and express no opinion on, (i) financial covenants or similar provisions requiring
financial calculations or determinations to ascertain whether there is any such conflict or (ii) provisions relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import. In addition, our opinion relating to the
agreements filed as exhibits to the Company Documents is subject to the effect of judicial decisions which may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to interpret the terms of written contracts or allow non-written modifications of written
contracts. Moreover, to the extent that any of the agreements filed as exhibits to the Company Documents are governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California our opinion relating to those agreements is based solely upon
the plain meaning of their language without regard to interpretation or construction that might be indicated by the laws governing those agreements.
We express no opinion as to your compliance with any federal or state law relating to your legal or regulatory status or the nature of your business.
We express no opinion as to the compliance of the Company or the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers with the provisions of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and the regulations thereunder.
A-6
We express no opinion as to the effect of subsequent issuances of securities of the Company, to the
extent that further issuances which may be integrated with the Closing may include purchasers that do not meet the definition of “accredited investors” under Rule 501 of Regulation D and equivalent definitions under state securities or
“blue sky” laws.
Our opinions with regard to the Share Purchase Agreement do not extend to forms of agreements or instruments
which may be attached thereto as exhibits.
We express no opinion as to the effect of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i), given that the
Company’s stockholders have not approved the Share Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Shares.
We express no opinion as to
any provision purporting to waive objections to the laying of venue or to forum on the basis of forum non conveniens, in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to the Share Purchase Agreement.
This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above solely for your benefit in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement
and may not be delivered to, quoted or relied upon by any person other than you, or for any other purpose, without our prior written consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by
implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company. We assume no obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may alter, affect or modify
the opinions expressed herein.
A-7
We advise you that some of our lawyers are stockholders of the Company.
Very truly yours,
XXXXXXX, PHLEGER & XXXXXXXX LLP
