REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

Representations and Warranties of the Company

subsidiaries of the Company are listed in the Company’s most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as modified by any subsequent SEC
Reports filed with the SEC (each a “ Subsidiary
”). The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all
of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary
free and clear of any Liens, and all the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and

use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of
its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business
and is 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 reasonably be expected to result in (i) a
material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability
of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, assets, business, prospects or financial
condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
(iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to
perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations
under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a
“ Material Adverse Effect ”) and, to the
knowledge of the Company, no Action has been instituted in any such
jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke,
limit or curtail such power and authority or
qualification.
(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 its
stockholders and no further action is required by the Company or
its stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection
with the Required Approvals. 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
(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws
of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’
rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.
(d)
No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and
performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the
issuance and sale of the Shares and the consummation by the Company
of the other 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, violate or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of,
any agreement (written or oral), credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise)
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
(iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or 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 reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)
Filings, Consents and Approvals . The Company is
not 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, the Trading Market or
other Person in connection with the

so. The “Plan of Distribution” section under
the Registration Statement as supplemented by the Prospectus
Supplement permits the issuance and sale and, to the extent that it
is deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act, the resale by
Seaside in its capacity as an underwriter, of the Shares
hereunder.

Company is as set forth in the Registration
Statement. The Company has not issued any capital stock
since its most recently filed periodic report under the
