SECTION 2.08 Proprietary Information of Third Parties. To the best of the
----------------------------------------
Company's knowledge, no third party has claimed or has reason to claim that any

violating any of the terms or conditions of his or her employment,
non-competition or non-disclosure agreement with such third party, (b) disclosed
or may be disclosing or utilized or may be utilizing any trade secret or
proprietary information or documentation of such third party or (c) interfered
or may be interfering in the employment relationship between such third party
and any of its present or former employees. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, no third party has requested information from the Company which
suggests that such a claim might be contemplated. To the best of the Company's
knowledge, no person employed by or affiliated with the Company has employed or
proposes to employ any trade secret or any information or documentation
proprietary to any former employer, and to the best of the Company's knowledge,
no person employed by or affiliated with the Company has violated any
confidential relationship which such person may have had with any third party,
in connection with the development, manufacture or sale of any product or
proposed product or the development or sale of any service or proposed service
of the Company, and the Company has no reason to believe there will be any such
employment or violation. To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the carrying on of the business of
the Company as officers, employees or agents by any officer, director or key
employee of the Company, or the conduct or proposed conduct of the business of
the Company, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions
or provisions of or constitute a default under any contract, covenant or
instrument under which any such person is obligated.
SECTION 2.09 Patents, Trademarks, Etc.. Set forth in Schedule II is a list
------------------------- -----------
and brief description of all domestic and foreign patents, patent rights, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service xxxx
applications, trade names and copyrights, and all applications for such which
are in the process of being prepared, owned by or registered in the name of the
Company, or of which the Company is a licensor or licensee or in which the
6
Company has any right, and in each case a brief description of the nature of
such right. The Company owns or possesses adequate licenses or other rights to
use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, service xxxx applications, trade names, copyrights, manufacturing
processes, formulae, trade secrets, customer lists and know how (collectively,
"Intellectual Property") necessary to the conduct of its business as conducted
and as proposed to be conducted, and no claim is pending or, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, threatened to the effect that the operations of the Company
infringe upon or conflict with the asserted rights of any other person under any
Intellectual Property, and the Company reasonably believes that there is no
basis for any such claim (whether or not pending or threatened). No claim is
pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened to the effect
that any such Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Company, or which
the Company otherwise has the right to use, is invalid or unenforceable by the
Company, and the Company reasonably believes that there is no basis for any such
claim (whether or not pending or threatened). All prior art known to the Company
which may be or may have been pertinent to the examination of any United States
patent or patent application listed in Schedule II has been cited to the United
-----------
States Patent and Trademark Office. To the best of the Company's knowledge, all
technical information developed by and belonging to the Company which has not
been patented has been kept confidential. The Company has not granted or
assigned to any other person or entity any right to manufacture, have
manufactured, assemble or sell the products or proposed products or to provide
the services or proposed services of the Company.
SECTION 2.10 Title to Properties. The Company has good, clear and
-------------------
marketable title to its properties and assets reflected on the Balance Sheet or
acquired by it since the date of the Balance Sheet (other than properties and
assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date of the
Balance Sheet), and all such properties and assets are free and clear of
mortgages, pledges, security interests, liens, charges, claims, restrictions and
other encumbrances (including without limitation, easements and licenses),
except for liens for or current taxes not yet due and payable and minor
imperfections of title, if any, not material in nature or amount and not
materially detracting from the value or impairing the use of the property
subject thereto or impairing the operations or proposed operations of the
Company, including without limitation, the ability of the Company to secure
financing using such properties and assets as collateral. To the best of the
Company's knowledge, there are no condemnation, environmental, zoning or other
land use regulation proceedings, either instituted or planned to be instituted,
which would adversely affect the use or operation of the Company's and its
subsidiaries' properties and assets for their respective intended uses and
purposes, or the value of such properties, and the Company has not received
notice of any special assessment proceedings which would affect such properties
and assets.
SECTION 2.11 Leasehold Interests. Each lease or agreement to which the
-------------------
Company is a party under which it is a lessee of any property, real or personal,
is a valid and subsisting agreement, duly authorized and entered into, without
any default of the Company thereunder and, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, without any default thereunder of any other party thereto. No event
has occurred and is continuing which, with due notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default or event of default by the Company under any such
lease or agreement or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, by any other
party thereto. The Company's
7
possession of such property has not been disturbed and, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, no claim has been asserted against the Company adverse to
its rights in such leasehold interests.
SECTION 2.12 Insurance. The Company holds valid policies covering all of
---------
the insurance required to be maintained by it under Section 5.05.
SECTION 2.13 Taxes. The Company has filed all tax returns, Federal, state,
-----
county and local, required to be filed by it, and the Company has paid all taxes
shown to be due by such returns as well as all other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges which have become due or payable, including without
limitation all taxes which the Company is obligated to withhold from amounts
owing to employees, creditors and third parties. The Company has established
adequate reserves for all taxes accrued but not yet payable. The Federal income
tax returns of the Company have never been audited by the Internal Revenue
Service. No deficiency assessment with respect to or proposed adjustment of the
Company's Federal, state, county or local taxes is pending or, to the best of
the Company's knowledge, threatened. There is no tax lien, whether imposed by
any Federal, state, county or local taxing authority, outstanding against the
assets, properties or business of the Company. Neither the Company nor any of
its present or former stockholders has ever filed an election pursuant to
Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that
the Company be taxed as an S corporation.

Agreement, but not including those described in (F) below, (D) solely in
consideration for the acquisition (whether by merger or otherwise) by the
Company of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of any other entity,
which such acquisition has been approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company, (E) pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten public offering, (F)

their service to the Company or pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase
Common Stock granted to or Common Stock issued to licensors or transferors of
technology to the Company, not to exceed in the aggregate 17,750,000 shares
(appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, combinations
of shares and the like with respect to the Common Stock) (the shares exempted by
this clause (F) being hereinafter referred to as the "Reserved Employee and
Technology Shares"), and (G) upon the exercise of any right which was not itself
in violation of the terms of this Section 5.02. The Company's written notice to
the Purchasers shall describe the securities proposed to be issued by the

accept the Company's offer as to the full number of securities offered to it or
any lesser number, by written notice thereof given by it to the Company prior to
the expiration of the aforesaid twenty (20) day period, in which event the
Company shall promptly sell and such Purchaser shall buy, upon the terms
specified, the number of securities agreed to be purchased by such Purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchasers agree, in the aggregate, to
purchase more than the full number of securities offered by the Company, then
each Purchaser accepting the Company's offer shall first be allocated the lesser
of (i) the number of securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase and (ii)
the number of securities as is equal to the full number of securities offered by
the Company multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock held by such Purchaser as of the date of the Company's
notice of offer (treating such Purchaser, for the purpose of such calculation,
as the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable to
such Purchaser upon conversion, exercise or exchange of all securities
(including but not limited to the Preferred Shares) held by such Purchaser on
the date such offer is made, that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
into or for (whether directly or indirectly) shares of Common Stock) and the
denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
(calculated as aforesaid) held on such date by all Purchasers who accepted the
Company's offer, and the balance of the securities (if any) offered by the
Company shall be allocated among the Purchasers accepting the Company's offer in
proportion to their relative equity ownership interests in the Company
(calculated as aforesaid), provided that no Purchaser shall be allocated more
than the number of securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase and
provided further that in cases covered by this sentence all Purchasers shall be
allocated among them the full number of securities offered by the Company. The
Company shall be free at any time prior to ninety (90) days after the date of
its notice of offer to
18
the Purchasers, to offer and sell to any third party or parties the number of
such securities not agreed by the Purchasers to be purchased by them, at a price
and on payment terms no less favorable to the Company than those specified in
such notice of offer to the Purchasers. However, if such third party sale or
sales are not consummated within such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall
not sell such securities as shall not have been purchased within such period
without again complying with this Section 5.02. For purposes of this Section
5.02, (x) the term "Purchasers" shall include the Series A Purchasers, the

Section 6.13). "Initial Public Offering" means a underwritten public offering
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act in

Company resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company and any stockholder
selling shares of Common Stock in such offering of not less than $25,000,000 and
a public offering price per share of not less than $2.85 per share (as adjusted
for any combination, division, subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split or
similar event relating to the Common Stock).
SECTION 5.03 Reserve for Conversion Shares. The Company shall at all times
-----------------------------
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares and
otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, such number of its duly
authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the
conversion of the Preferred Shares from time to time outstanding or otherwise to
comply with the terms of this Agreement (the "Conversion Shares"). If at any
time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of the Preferred Shares or otherwise to
comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Company will forthwith take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes. The Company will obtain any authorization, consent, approval or other
action by or make any filing with any court or administrative body that may be
required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance

be deemed by the Company to be sufficient.
19
The Company shall not cause or permit any assignment or change in beneficiary
and shall not borrow against any such policy. If requested by Purchasers holding
at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding Preferred Shares, the Company
shall add one designee of such Purchasers as a notice party for each such policy
and shall request that the issuer of each policy provide such designee with ten
(10) days' notice before such policy is terminated (for failure to pay premiums
or otherwise) or assigned or before any change is made in the beneficiary
thereof.
SECTION 5.06 Inspection, Consultation and Advice. The Company shall permit
-----------------------------------
each Purchaser holding, in aggregate with its partners, shareholders or other
affiliates, in excess of 10% of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and

the execution of an appropriate confidentiality agreement, to visit and inspect
any of the properties of the Company, examine their books and take copies and
extracts therefrom, discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company
with its officers, employees and public accountants (and the Company hereby
authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Purchaser and such designees
such affairs, finances and accounts), and consult with and advise the management
of the Company as to its affairs, finances and accounts, all at reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice.

Observer shall not have the right to vote on any matter presented to the Board
of Directors. The Company shall give the Observer written notice of each meeting
of the Board of Directors at the same time and in the same manner as the members
of the Board of Directors receive notice of such meetings, and the Company shall
permit the Observer to attend as an observer all meetings of its Board of
Directors. The Observer shall be entitled to receive all written materials and
other information given to the directors in connection with such meetings at the
same time such materials and information are given to the directors, and the
Observer shall keep such materials and information confidential. If the Company

of Directors, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Observer
prior to the effective date of such consent. The Company shall provide the
Observer all written materials and other information given to the directors in
connection with such action by written consent at the same time such materials
and information are given to the directors, and the Observer shall keep such
materials and information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company reserves the right not to provide information and to exclude the
Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes, as
determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, that delivery of such
information or attendance at such meeting by the Observer (a) would adversely
affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (b)
would violate any fiduciary obligations of the Board of Directors, or (c) would
involve a conflict of interest with regard to the Observer, or if the Observer
is a direct competitor of the Company. The rights of MPM pursuant to this
Section 5.18 shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) twelve months after
the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, or (ii) the acquisition (whether
by merger or otherwise) of substantially all of the stock or assets of the
Company by any entity unaffiliated with the Company.
