WARRANTIES
Section
2.1
Representations and Warranties of the Company .
The Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Investor, as of the date hereof and the date of the Closing
hereunder (except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions
attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the
section number herein), as follows:
(a)
Organization, Good Standing and Power . The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its
properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now
being conducted. The Company does not have any direct or

Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such
Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited
partnership to do business and is in good standing in every other
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for
any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the
failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “ Material Adverse Effect ” means any
material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties or
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken
together as a whole) and/or any condition, circumstance, or
situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere
with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents in any
material respect.
(b)
Authorization; Enforcement . The Company and the
Subsidiaries (as applicable) have the requisite corporate power and

delivered by each of the Subsidiaries, dated as of the date hereof,

stockholders or any other third party is required. When
executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiaries, each of
the Transaction Documents shall constitute a 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, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating
to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.

there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options,
securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of
the Company. Except as provided on Schedule
2.1(c)(iv) hereto, the Company is not a party to or bound by
any agreement or understanding granting registration or
anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its
equity or debt securities. Except as set forth on

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the issuance of
the Securities as contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i)

Amended and Restated Articles of Organization (the “
Articles of Organization ”) or Bylaws (the “
Bylaws ”), each as amended to date, or any
Subsidiary’s comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which 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 of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective properties
or assets are bound, (iii) result in a violation of any federal,
state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment
or decree (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries are bound or affected, or (iv) create or impose a
lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any
nature on any property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries

of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any of their respective
properties or assets are bound, except, in all cases, for such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (other than violations

securities laws)). Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is required under federal, state, foreign or local
law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or

laws, rules or regulations). The business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any
laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental
entity.
(f)

or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“ Exchange Act ”), and the Company has timely

required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “ Commission ”) pursuant to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing
including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred
to herein as the “ Commission Documents
”). Each
Commission Document complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other
federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to
such documents, and the Commission Documents did not, as of their
respective filing dates, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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. As of their respective dates, the financial
statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents
complied as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“ GAAP ”) applied on a consistent
basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may
not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements),

(g)
Subsidiaries . Schedule 2.1(g) hereto

of its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of
each person’s ownership of the outstanding stock or other

Subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly
issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as
set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto, there are no
outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options,
warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any
Subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital
stock of any Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into,
exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any
shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or
otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares
of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible
securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in
the preceding sentence except as set forth on Schedule
2.1(g) hereto. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement
restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital
stock of any Subsidiary. Each subsidiary is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) and has the

or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary course of
the Company’s or its Subsidiaries respective businesses or
which, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j)
No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances . Since
September 30, 2008, except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(j)
hereto, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective

has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.
(k)
Indebtedness . Schedule 2.1(k) hereto
sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and
unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for

acceptances, drafts or similar documents or instruments issued for
such Person’s account, (i) indebtedness of any partnership or
joint venture in which such Person is a general partner or a joint
venturer to the extent such Person is liable therefore as a result
of such Person’s ownership interest in such entity, except to
the extent that the terms of such indebtedness expressly provide
that such Person is not liable therefore or such Person has no
liability therefore as a matter of law, (j) trade debt and other
account payables which remain unpaid more than one hundred (100)
days past the invoice date, and (k) any obligation guaranteeing or
intended to guarantee (whether directly or indirectly guaranteed,

foregoing obligations of any other Person; provided, however,
Indebtedness shall not include (I) usual and customary trade debt
and other accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business less than one hundred (100) days past the invoice date and
(II) endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course

of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are valid and
subsisting and in full force and effect. Pursuant to,
and upon execution and delivery of, the Security Agreement and any
applicable IP Security Agreements, the Company and its Subsidiaries
shall have granted to the Investor a perfected, first priority
security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company
and the Subsidiaries.
(m)
Actions Pending . There is no action, suit,
claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution
proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary which
questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.1(m) hereto, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties or assets, which individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected, if adversely determined,
to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of
any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against
the Company or any Subsidiary or any officers or directors of the
Company or Subsidiary in their capacities as such, which
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n)
Compliance with Law . The business of the Company
and the Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in
accordance with all applicable federal, state and local
governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except such
that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental
or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the
conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the
failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and
other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o)
Taxes . The Company and each of the Subsidiaries
has accurately prepared and filed (or validly extended) all
federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by
it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown

Company and the Subsidiaries for all current taxes and other
charges to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject and which
are not currently due and payable. Except as disclosed
on Schedule 2.1(o) hereto, none of the federal
income tax returns of the Company or any
Subsidiary have been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional
assessments, adjustments or contingent tax liability (whether
federal or state) of any nature whatsoever, whether pending or
threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary for any period,
nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or
contingency.
(p)
Disclosure . Except for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Company confirms that neither
it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided the
Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that
constitutes or might constitute material, nonpublic
information. To the Company’s knowledge, neither
this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents,
certificates or instruments furnished to the Investor by or on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken together as a
whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.
(q)
Environmental Compliance . Except as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all approvals,
authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits
or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or
from any other person, that are required under any Environmental
Laws. “ Environmental Laws ” shall

transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances,
pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes,
whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature. Except as
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
the Company has all necessary governmental approvals required under
all Environmental Laws as necessary for the Company’s
business or the business of any of its subsidiaries. To
the Company’s knowledge, the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries are also in compliance with all other limitations,
restrictions, conditions, standards, requirements, schedules and
timetables required or imposed under all Environmental
Laws. Except for such instances as would not
individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect,
there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances,
incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting
the Company or its Subsidiaries that violate or may violate any
Environmental Law after the Closing Date or that may give rise to
any environmental liability, or otherwise form the basis of any
claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or
investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or
related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage (including without limitation underground
storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling, or the emission,
discharge, release or threatened release of any hazardous
substance.
(r)
Books and Records; Internal Accounting Controls
. The records and documents of the Company and its
Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the
information relating to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the
nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or
accounts receivable of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company
is in material compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The
Company and its 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 information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by the
Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the
Exchange Act (such date, the “ Evaluation Date
”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic
report under the Exchange Act 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 changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such
term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
(s)
Material Agreements . Except as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the

contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or
arrangement, filed or required to be filed with the Commission (the
“ Material Agreements ”). Except as
disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s) hereto, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of default under
any Material Agreement, which has not been waived or
cured. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
currently in default under any Material Agreement now in
effect.

consultant, director or stockholder or any corporation or other
entity controlled by such officer, employee, consultant, director
or stockholder, or a member of the immediate family of such
officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder which, in

Act. Neither the Company, nor any of its
