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

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 have or
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

Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by
which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue
additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents. 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,

agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to
which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company,
between or among any of the Company’s
stockholders.

extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports
prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of

respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when

in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The Company has never been an issuer subject
to Rule 144(i) under 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 the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at
the time 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. Such statements
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of

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.

Company stock option plans. The Company does not have

Schedule 3.1(i) , no event, liability, fact, circumstance,
occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably
expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective business, prospects, properties,

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 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 knowledge of the
Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by
the Commission involving the Company or any current or former
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.
(k)
Labor Relations . No material labor dispute

respect to any of the employees of the Company, which could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse

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
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 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 party or by which it or any of its
properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has
been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order
of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is or has
been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of
any governmental authority, including without limitation all
foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business
and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case
as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(m)
Regulatory Permits . The Company and the
Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits
issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective
businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (“ Material
Permits ”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any Material Permit.
(n)
Title to Assets . The Company and the
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of
all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value
of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made
and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the
Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other
taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to
penalties. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and
the Subsidiaries are in compliance.
(o)
Patents and Trademarks . The Company and the
Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks,
trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and
other intellectual property rights and similar rights as necessary
or material for use in connection with their respective businesses
as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have
could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “
Intellectual Property Rights ”). Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or
otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of
any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property
Rights. 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 could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(p)
Insurance . The Company and the Subsidiaries are
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and the
Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors
and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate
Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business without a significant
increase in cost.
