to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s
stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to
employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase
plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently

or

Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by
which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound to issue additional

issued by the Company. The issuance and sale of the Securities will
not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not
result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws,

Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or,
to the actual knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the

Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments .
Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and

respective business, properties, operations or financial condition,
that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under

is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any
of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator,
governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an
“ Action ”) which (i) adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there
were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary, nor, to the Company’s actual knowledge, any
director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any
Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal
or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.
There has not been, and to the actual knowledge of the Company,
there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or, to the Company’s actual
knowledge, any director or officer of the Company. The Commission
has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or
any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities
Act.

knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to be, in
violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or
any restrictive covenant in favor of any third party, and, to the
Company’s actual knowledge, the continued employment of each
such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with
all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the
failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the

Effect.

Permits . The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect

and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to
be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and

property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the

in compliance with the provisions thereof, except where such

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the
secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual
properties, except where failure to do so would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
