pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the
Company’s stock option plans and pursuant to the conversion
or exercise of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents; and
(b) no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive
right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate

Issuance, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into

for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire,
any shares of Common 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
Holders) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under 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, and none of such outstanding shares was
issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to
subscribe for or purchase securities. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(g) , 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 knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the
Company’s stockholders.
(h) Litigation .
Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(h), there is no Proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the 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 ”) that (i) adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) would, if
there were an unfavorable decision, 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. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s
knowledge, any executive officer, director, or Affiliate of any of
them has been contacted in writing or orally by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation for any reason whatsoever since February 3,
2006.

Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder,
placement agent, investment banker, bank or other person with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. The Holders shall have no obligation with respect to any

Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be

warranties set forth in Section 3.2 , no registration
under the Securities Act is or will be required for the issuance of
the Series B Preferred or the related Underlying Shares by the
Company to the Holders as contemplated hereby or for the issuance
and sale of the Concurrent Shares pursuant to the Concurrent
Offering. The issuance and sale of the Concurrent Shares pursuant
to the Concurrent Purchase Agreements does not contravene the rules
and regulations of the Trading Market.
(k) Registration
Rights . Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(k) , other
than each of the Holders, no Person has any right to cause the
Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any

(l) Disclosure . The
Company confirms that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any other
Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Holders or

Concurrent Offering, with any information that will constitute
material, nonpublic information following the issuance of the press
release and the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as

made herein are true and correct in all material respects (except
for those representations and warranties that are qualified by
materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects) and
do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no
Holder makes or has made any representations or warranties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Section 3.2 .
(m) No Integrated
Offering . Assuming the accuracy of the Holders’
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2
, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person
acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would cause the issuance of the
Securities pursuant to this Agreement to fail to be entitled to the
exemptions afforded by Regulation D under, or Section 4(2) of,
the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of
the Company are listed or designated, if any.
(n) No General
Solicitation . Neither the Company nor any person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by
any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The
Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the
Holders.
16
(o) Acknowledgement
Regarding Holders’ Trading Activity . The Company
acknowledges and agrees that (i) except for a Holder’s
representation and warranty in Section 3.2(f) and its covenant
in Section 4.12 , such Holder is not making any
representation, warranty or covenant with respect to purchasing or
selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or
“derivative” securities based on securities issued by
the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term;
(ii) that past or future open market or other transactions by
any Holder, including Short Sales, and specifically including,
without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative”
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private
placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of
the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) that any
Holder, and counter parties in “derivative”
transactions to which any such Holder is a party, directly or
indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in
the Common Stock; and (iv) that each Holder shall not be
deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s
length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.
The Company further understands and acknowledges that (a) one
or more Holders may engage in hedging activities at various times
during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including,
without limitation, during the periods that the value of the
Transaction Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being
determined and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could
reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity
interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that
such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach
of any of the Transaction Documents.
(p) Manipulation of
Price . Neither the Company nor to the Company’s
knowledge, anyone acting on its behalf has (i) taken, directly
or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities
or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities.
