covenants with, the Investor as of the Closing Date, as
follows:
4.1
Organization . Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act
”)) is duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties
and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is
registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or transacts
business and where the failure to be so qualified would have a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition or business,
operations, assets or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or a material adverse
effect upon the Company’s ability to perform in any material
respect its obligations under the Agreements, and no proceeding has
been instituted in any such jurisdiction, revoking, limiting or
curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and
authority or qualification.
4.2
Due Authorization . The Company has all requisite
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Agreements, and the Agreements have been duly authorized
and validly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute
legal, valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as
rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or
federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally
and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.3
Non-Contravention . The execution and delivery of the
Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the
Company under the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the
Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby will not (A) conflict with or constitute a violation
of, or default (with or without the giving of notice or the passage
of time or both) under, (i) any material bond, debenture, note
or other evidence of indebtedness, or under any material lease,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
joint
2
venture or other agreement or instrument to
which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it or
any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties are bound,
(ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any law,
administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or
governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to
the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective properties, or
(B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever
upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any
obligation, agreement or condition contained in any material bond,
debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any
material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or
by which any of them is bound or to which any of the property or
assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject. No
consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or
registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body,
administrative agency, self-regulatory organization, stock exchange
or market, or other governmental body in the United States is
required for the execution and delivery of the Agreements and the
valid issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to the
Agreements, other than such as have been made or obtained, and
except for any securities filings required to be made under federal
or state securities laws. The Company and its Board of
Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to
render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter
documents) or, except for Delaware General Corporate Law
Section 203, the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Investors as a result of the
Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Agreements, including without
limitation the Company’s issuance of the Shares and the
Investors’ ownership of the Shares.
4.4
Reporting Status . The Company has filed in a timely
manner all documents that the Company was required to file under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “
Exchange Ac t”), during the 12 months preceding the
date of this Agreement. The following documents complied in
all material respects with the SEC’s requirements as of their
respective filing dates, and the information contained therein as
of the date thereof did not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light
of the circumstances under where they were made not misleading,
except to the extent that information contained in any such
document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, including
the exhibits thereto (the “ Form 10-K ”);

Company), when taken together as a whole, as of the date hereof, do
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated
3
therein or necessary to make the statements
therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made
not misleading.
4.5

and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances and other

securities laws as a result of the private placement of the Shares
to the Investors). No preemptive right, co-sale right, right
of first refusal or other similar right exists with respect to the
Shares or the issuance and sale thereof. No further approval
or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors of the
Company or others is required for the issuance and sale of the
Shares. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no holder
of any of the securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
has any rights (“demand,” “piggyback” or
otherwise) to have such securities registered by reason of the
intention to file, filing or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement (as defined in Section 7.1 hereof).
4.6
Legal Proceedings . There is no material legal or
governmental proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened to which the Company or any Subsidiary or any
officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary in their
capacity as such officer or director is or may be a party or of
which the business or property of the Company or any Subsidiary is
subject that is not disclosed in the SEC Documents. There is
no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by
any court, public board or body (including, without limitation, the
SEC) pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of
4
its Subsidiaries wherein an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding could adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under the Agreements.
4.7
No Violations . Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is in violation of its charter, bylaws, or other organizational
document, or in violation of any law, administrative regulation,
ordinance or order of any court or governmental agency, arbitration
panel or authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary,
which violation, individually or in the aggregate, would be
reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, assets or prospects or financial condition of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or
is in default (and there exists no condition which, with or without
the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a
default) in any material respect in the performance of any bond,
debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or
by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the
properties of the Company or any Subsidiary are bound, which would
be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect upon the
business, operations, assets or prospects or financial condition of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one
enterprise. The Company is in compliance with all provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder and with all provisions of the NASD (as
defined in Section 4.12 hereof), in each case as to which the
Company is required to be in compliance. The Company has
established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that material information relating to the Company, including
its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The
Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the last day of the fiscal period (such date, the
“ Evaluation Date ”) covered by the most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. The
Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the
Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item
307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the
Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Company’s internal
controls.
4.8
Governmental Permits, Etc . Each of the Company and
its Subsidiaries has all necessary franchises, licenses,
certificates and other authorizations from any foreign, federal,
state or local government or governmental agency, department, or
body that are currently necessary for the operation of the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, except
where the failure to currently possess could not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect upon the business,
operations, assets or prospects or financial condition of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise (the
“ 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.
5
4.9
Intellectual Property . Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries owns or possesses sufficient rights to use all
patents, patent rights, trademarks, copyrights, licenses,
inventions, trade secrets, trade names and know-how (collectively,
“ Intellectual Property ”) that are necessary
for the conduct of its business as now conducted except where the
failure to currently own or possess would not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, business, operations,
assets or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered
as one enterprise, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances,
claims, security interests or restrictions, except for such as do
not materially interfere with the conduct of the Company’s
business as presently conducted and as currently proposed to be
conducted by the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC
Documents, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notice of, or has any knowledge of, any
infringement of asserted rights of a third party with respect to
any Intellectual Property that, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
business, operations, assets or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise and (ii) neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of any
infringement rights by a third party with respect to any
Intellectual Property that, individually or in the aggregate, would
have a material adverse effect upon the business, operations,
assets or prospects or financial condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise.

Such financial statements (including the related notes) have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
therein specified, except as set forth in the SEC Documents and
subject in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments.
4.11
No Material Adverse Change . Except as disclosed in
the SEC Documents, since March 31, 2005 there has not been

enterprise nor has any material adverse event occurred to the
Company or its Subsidiaries, (ii) any material adverse event

action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating
