(g) Capitalization . The capitalization
of the Company is substantially as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement, as updated by the SEC Reports. As of the date of the

Act, other than pursuant 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, pursuant to the conversion and/or
exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of
the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act and
securities issued pursuant to the Prior Purchase Agreement. No
Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation, or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as

contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the
Company or any Subsidiary is bound to issue additional shares of
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, in each case 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,

preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities. No further approval or authorization of any
stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for the
issuance and sale of the Securities. Except as filed as an exhibit
to the SEC Reports, there are no stockholders agreements, voting
agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the
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
Company’s stockholders.

Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof,
for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period
as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such

and documents incorporated by reference therein, together with the
Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, being collectively

made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject

the Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of

filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“
GAAP ”), except as may be otherwise specified in such
financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited
financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by
GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments.
10
(i) Material Changes; Undisclosed Events,
Liabilities or Developments . Since the date of the latest
audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports,
except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed
prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence
or development that has had or that would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not
incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other

other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made

Company stock option or compensation plans. Except for the issuance
of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth in
the SEC Reports, no event, liability or development has occurred or
exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their
respective business, properties, operations or financial condition,
that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under
applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made
or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed prior to the
date that this representation is made.
(j) Litigation . Except as disclosed in
the SEC Reports, there 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.
11
(k) Labor Relations . No material labor
dispute exists or, to the actual knowledge of the Company, is

employees is a member of a union that relates to such
employee’s relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary,
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a
collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its
Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees
are good. No executive officer, to the actual 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 aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Compliance. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of
(and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the
Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any
Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under
or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a

any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
