described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.

with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under
this Agreement. The decision of each Investor to purchase Shares pursuant to
this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other
Investor. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent
for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no
Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring
its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce
its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this
Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as
an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges
that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Agreement for the
purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was
required or requested to do so by any Investor.

to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of an
Investor arising directly or indirectly, under this Agreement of any and every
nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Investor,
and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of
such Investor or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial
interest of such a Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of
such Investor.

EXHIBIT A
---------
Form of Legal Opinion
_________________, 2008
To the Investors Listed in
the Schedule of Purchasers of the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
dated as of ______________, 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of
___________, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement"), complete with all listed exhibits
thereto, by and among Intraop Medical Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), and the investors listed in the Schedule of Purchasers to the
Purchase Agreement (the "Investors"), which provides for, among other things,
the issuance by the Company to the Investors of shares of Common Stock. All
terms used herein have the meanings defined in the Purchase Agreement unless
otherwise defined herein.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation,
preparation and execution of the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the
transactions contemplated thereunder.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined the originals, or copies properly
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being in the form of
the originals, of the following:
(a) the Purchase Agreement;
(b) the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed with the
Nevada Secretary of State on March 9, 2005 and the Certificate of Amendment
to Articles of Incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on
October 19, 2007, certified to us by an officer of the Company as being
complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this letter
(together, the "Amended Articles");
(c) the Bylaws of the Company, certified to us by an officer of the Company as
being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this letter;
(d) documents evidencing the corporate proceedings taken by the Company to
authorize and effect the execution, delivery and performance of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;
(e) a Certificate of Existence With Status in Good Standing for the Company
issued on January 8, 2008 by the Secretary of State of Nevada, a
Certificate of Status of Foreign Corporation for the Company issued on
January 4, 2008 by the Secretary of State of California, and an Entity
Status for the Company issued by the California Franchise Tax Board on
January 4, 2008 stating that the Company is in good standing with the
California Franchise Tax Board; and
(f) an Officer's Certificate of the Company provided to us as of the date of
this letter concerning certain factual matters relevant to this opinion.
1
As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have, to
the extent we deemed it appropriate, reviewed and relied upon the
representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 4 of the Purchase
Agreement and statements and certificates of the officers of the Company, and of
public officials and others. With regard to such factual matters relevant to
this opinion as to which we have relied upon said representations, warranties,
statements and certificates of the officers of the Company and others, we have
not sought to verify independently the existence of the facts as represented to
us, but we are aware of no facts which would lead us to believe that the
opinions expressed herein are not appropriate.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the following:
(i) All documents submitted to us as originals are complete
and authentic; all copies of documents submitted to us conform in all respects
to the originals thereof, including all amendments or modifications thereto; and
all originals or copies submitted to us have not been amended or modified since
the date they were submitted to us, by written or oral agreement of the parties
thereto, by the conduct of the parties thereto or otherwise;
(ii) The signatures on all original documents examined by us
are genuine and all copies of such documents submitted to us are genuine;
(iii) The due authorization, execution and delivery of all
documents (other than by the Company), where authorization, execution and
delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof;
(iv) All individuals executing and delivering documents had
the legal capacity to so execute and deliver;
(v) Each party to the Purchase Agreement, other than the
Company and individuals, is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under its jurisdiction of organization and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of
property currently requires that it qualify to do business in such jurisdiction,
with the corporate or other organizational power to perform its obligations
under the Purchase Agreement; each party to the Purchase Agreement, other than
the Company, has complied with any applicable requirement to file tax returns
and pay taxes in each jurisdiction in which it is required to do so; each party
to the Purchase Agreement, other than the Company, has validly authorized,
executed and delivered the Purchase Agreement; and the Purchase Agreement
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each such party, enforceable
against each such party in accordance with its terms;
(vi) The factual matters set forth in the Purchase Agreement
are accurate and complete in all material respects and all certificates and all
other written representations as to factual matters delivered or made to us by
officers of the Company are accurate and complete in all material respects; and
(vii) Neither the execution of the Purchase Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions provided for therein contravenes any applicable
law of any jurisdiction, other than California law or federal law.
On the basis of the foregoing examinations and assumptions and in
reliance thereon, upon the representations of the Investors and the other
parties to the Purchase Agreement, and upon all such other matters of fact as we
deemed relevant under the circumstances, and subject to the limitations and
qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof:
2
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has
qualified to do business and is in good standing in the State of California.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property
and assets, and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.
3. The Company has the requisite corporate power to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms.
4. The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, of which 324,570,524 shares are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the First Closing. The outstanding shares
of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable. The Shares have been duly authorized, and upon issuance and
delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. To
our knowledge, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges, preemptive
rights or other rights outstanding prior to the First Closing to purchase any of
the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company, other than the
participation rights provided in the Rights Agreement dated as of August 17,
2007 by and between the Company and the investors named therein, rights created
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement,
warrants to purchase 16,336,433 shares of Common Stock, outstanding options
granted under the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 27,068,327
shares of Common Stock, and 18,291,337 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.
5. The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by the Company
and the issuance of the Shares pursuant thereto do not violate any provision of
the Company's Amended Articles or Bylaws, and do not constitute a default under
or a material breach of any material agreement that is listed as an exhibit to
the SEC Filings, and do not violate (a) any United States federal or California
governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically
applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
or (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award
which has been entered against the Company and of which we have knowledge, in
each case to the extent the violation of which would materially and adversely
affect the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
6. To our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation
pending or overtly threatened against the Company before any court or
administrative agency that questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement or
that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.
7. Based in part on the representations of the Investors in the
Purchase Agreement, all consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and
filings, registrations and qualifications with any United States federal or
California regulatory authority or governmental body on the part of the Company
required for the issuance of the Shares have been made, obtained or effected as
of the Closing, except for filings pursuant to (a) Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and (b) any required filings
pursuant to state "blue sky" laws.
3
8. Based in part upon the representations made by the Company and the
Investors in the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares in
conformity with the terms of the Purchase Agreement do not require registration
under Section 5 of the 1933 Act.
9. The Company is not, and, after giving effect to the offering and
sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof, will not be,
an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following:
(a) The application and effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, anti-deficiency, or similar laws or court decisions
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;
(b) We express no opinion as to whether specific performance of any of
the remedies, covenants or other provisions of the Purchase Agreement is
available;
(c) We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance with
applicable federal and state anti-fraud statutes concerning the issuance of
securities;
(d) We express no opinion on (i) the effect of judicial decisions which
may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to modify the terms or the
interpretation of the Purchase Agreement; (ii) any requirement that provisions
of the Purchase Agreement may only be waived in writing as to its enforceability
to the extent an oral agreement has been executed modifying provisions of the
Purchase Agreement; (iii) the enforceability of indemnification or contribution
provisions, which may be unenforceable in certain circumstances; (iv) the
enforceability of any provision waiving the right to a jury trial; (v) the
enforceability of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (vi) the right to damages;
or (vii) the limitations imposed by general principles of equity, including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding equity or law;
(e) In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph (1) above
regarding the due incorporation, valid existence and good standing of the
Company in Nevada and in paragraphs (2) and (3) regarding the Company's
corporate powers, we inform you that we are not licensed to practice law in
Nevada and have relied without further investigation on our review of (i) the
Company's Amended Articles and Bylaws; (ii) the Company's minute book; (iii) a
Certificate of Existence with Status in Good Standing issued by the Secretary of
State of the State of Nevada with respect to the Company; (iv) relevant portions
of the Nevada Revised Statutes and (v) a certificate of an officer of the
Company as to certain factual matters;
(f) In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 4 above relating to
the status of the capitalization of the Company, we have relied without further
investigation on our review of the Company's Amended Articles and a summary of
outstanding securities of the Company certified to us by an officer of the
Company;
(g) We have acted as counsel to the Company only with respect to
certain corporate matters, the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement and the
rendering of these opinions. Accordingly, we may not have knowledge of all
matters of fact or law relating to the Company that may be relevant in
connection with the opinions herein. Any alteration of those facts may adversely
affect our opinions. Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "known to us,"
"to our knowledge," "to our current actual knowledge," or similar phrase, it is
intended to indicate that during the course of our representation of the
Company, no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the
inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of those attorneys in
this firm who have rendered legal services to the Company in connection with the
negotiation, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement. However, except
as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the accuracy of any such statement (including,
without limitation, any search of litigation filings in any court), and any
limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this letter should
not be regarded as such an investigation. No inference as to our current actual
knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be
drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.
4
We have not been requested to opine, and we have not opined, as to any
issues other than those expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is implied or
may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. Our opinion is
limited to the current federal laws of the United States of America and the
current laws of the State of California, present judicial interpretations
thereof and to facts as they presently exist. We also refer you to the
qualification in paragraph (e) above with respect to Nevada law. We note that
the Purchase Agreement is governed by New York law and, with your permission, we
are rendering the opinions in paragraph (3) above regarding the validity,
binding effect and enforceability of the Purchase Agreement as though the
Purchase Agreement was governed by the internal law of the State of California
and for purposes hereof have assumed that New York and California law are
identical in all respects. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any
particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any
jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject
matter hereof. In rendering this opinion, we have no obligation to revise or
supplement it should the current federal laws of the United States of America or
of the State of California be changed by legislative action, judicial decision
or otherwise. With reference to matters of fact, this opinion is limited to
information that has come to our attention solely in connection with matters
involving this firm's engagement as counsel to the Company.
Further, the opinions contained in this letter are given as of the date
of this letter and are rendered exclusively for your benefit in accordance with
the provisions of Section 6.1(a)(v) of the Purchase Agreement and may not be
relied upon to state directly or indirectly any general proposition or for any
other purpose. We hereby disclaim any obligation to notify any person or entity
after the date hereof if any change in fact or law should change our opinions
with respect to any matter set forth in this letter.
This opinion has been rendered to you at the request of the Company and
may be relied upon by you only in connection with the transactions contemplated
under the Purchase Agreement. No other use or distribution of this opinion may
be made, and no other person or party may rely on this opinion, without our
express prior written consent in each instance.
Very truly yours,
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP
