with the Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution
nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by
the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company s business as

violation or default of any provisions of its Restated Certificate of

contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which violation or
default would be materially adverse to the Company, or, to its knowledge, of any
provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
consummation
5.
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or
be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and
giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument,
judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the
creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company,
which violation, default, conflict or event would be materially adverse to the
Company. The Company has avoided every condition, and has not performed any act,

2.24 Section 83(b) Elections. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
-----------------------
all elections and notices required by Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
have been timely filed by all individuals who have purchased shares of the
Company's Common Stock.
3. Representations and Warranties of Investor. Each Investor hereby
------------------------------------------
severally and not jointly represents and warrants that:
3.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally
-------------
binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms
subject to bankruptcy and other laws of general application affecting the rights
and remedies of creditors, and except insofar as the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions of Section 7.10 hereof may be limited by applicable
laws.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
---------------------------------
Investor in reliance upon Investor's representation to the Company, which by
Investor's execution of this Agreement Investor hereby confirms, that the Series
C Preferred Stock to be received by Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for
investment for Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Investor further represents
that Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to
any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Investor represents
that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Investor believes it has received all
-------------------------
the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
purchase the Series C Preferred Stock. Investor further represents that it has
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series C Preferred
Stock. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and
warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement and the rights of
Investor to rely thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. Investor is an investor in securities of
---------------------
companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for
itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Series C Preferred Stock. If other
than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized solely
for the purpose of acquiring the Series C Preferred Stock.
3.5 Restricted Securities. Investor understands that the shares of
---------------------
Series C Preferred Stock it is purchasing are characterized as restricted
securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired
from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such laws and applicable regulations such securities
10.
may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection Investor represents that it is
familiar with Rule 144 ("Rule 144"), Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") and Regulation S
under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
3.6 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
----------------------------------
the representations set forth above, Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock (or the Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof) unless and until the transferee has
agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by any terms and
conditions of this Agreement specified by the Company (including, without
limitation, Sections 3, 7.15 and 9 hereof):
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such Registration Statement and the Securities Act; or
(b) (i) Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably
requested by the Company, Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities
Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A, as currently in existence,
except in unusual circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements in subsection (b) above shall
not apply to a disposition (i) not involving a change in beneficial ownership or
(ii) involving the distribution without consideration of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) by any
Investor to any of its partners, retired partners or affiliates or to the estate
of any of its partners or retired partners.
3.7 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
-------
Series C Preferred Stock (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof)
may bear one or all of the following legends in substantially the following
form:
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or
hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect
to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144 of such Act."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California or
other jurisdiction, including any legend required by the California Department
of Corporations and sections 417 and 418 of the California Corporations Code.
11.
3.8 Accredited Investor. Except as disclosed to the Company in
-------------------
writing, Investor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act.
3.9 Confidentiality. Investor hereby represents, warrants and
---------------
covenants that it shall maintain in confidence, and shall not use or disclose
without the prior written consent of the Company, any information identified in
writing by the Company as confidential that is furnished to it by the Company in
connection with this Agreement, including (without limitation) all financial
statements, budget and other information delivered or provided to Investor
pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof. This obligation of confidentiality shall not
apply, however, to any information (i) in the public domain through no
unauthorized act or failure to act by Investor, (ii) lawfully disclosed to
Investor by a third party who possessed such information without any obligation
of confidentiality or (iii) known previously by Investor or lawfully developed
by Investor independent of any disclosure by the Company. Investor further
covenants that it shall return to the Company all tangible materials containing
such information upon request by the Company.
3.10 Removal of Legends; Further Covenants and Restrictions.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 3.7
hereof shall be removed (i) if the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock or
Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof represented by such certificate
shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise
lawfully sold in a public transaction, (ii) if such shares may be transferred in
compliance with Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) if
the holder of such shares shall have provided the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the Company and its counsel and
from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel, stating
that a public sale, transfer or assignment of such shares may be made without
registration.
(b) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 3.7
hereof shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate
state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Series C
Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the
Company and its counsel and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company
and its counsel, stating that such state legend may be removed.
(c) Investor further covenants that it will not transfer the Series C
Preferred Stock or any securities received in exchange therefor or on conversion
thereof, in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules or regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S
under the Securities Act. Further, Investor agrees that notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, prior to the closing of the Company's first
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act ("Initial Public Offering"), it will not transfer any
of such securities in a
12.
transaction which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, result in
the Company being subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act, even if it is otherwise permitted to transfer them pursuant to
Rule 144(k).

7. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as
-------------------
follows:
7.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 7:
-----------
(a) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document;
(b) The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) the Common Stock
issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A, Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable
upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is
issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for
or in replacement of, such Preferred Stock or Common Stock, excluding in all
cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in
which his registration rights under this Section 7 are not assigned;
(c) The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then outstanding"
shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding which
are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then
exercisable or convertible securities which are exercisable or convertible into,
Registrable Securities;
(d) The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the right to
acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with
Section 7.13 hereof; and
(e) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Securities Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Securities Act
subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in lieu
of Form S-3 which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information
by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
7.2 Request for Registration.
------------------------
(a) If the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of
at least 40% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company
file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration
of Registrable Securities with an aggregate offering price, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, of at least $7,500,000, then the Company shall,
within 15 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to
all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of subsection 7.2(b), file as
soon as practicable, and in any event within 75 days of the receipt of such
request, a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all
Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within 30 days
of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 9.6.
15.
(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder
("Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered
by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company
as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the Company
shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection
7.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by
a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in subsection
7.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company with
the approval of a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 7.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however,
that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely
excluded from the underwriting.
(c) The Company is obligated to effect only two such registrations
pursuant to this Section 7.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to effect such registration if the Company has, within the 12-month
period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration
pursuant to this Section 7.2.
(d) The Company is not obligated to initiate a registration pursuant
to this Section 7.2 until the earlier of January 1, 1995 or three months after
the Initial Public Offering.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 7.2 a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the
Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this
right more than once in any 12-month period.
7.3 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so)
--------------------
the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its
stock or other securities under
16.
the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities
solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of
securities to participants in a Company stock plan, or a registration on any
form which does not include substantially the same information as would be
required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the
Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each
Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each
Holder given within 15 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in
accordance with Section 9.6, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.8, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the
Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
7.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section
--------------------------
7 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for up to 120 days.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders,
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue
17.
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection
with a registration pursuant to this Section 7, if such securities are being
sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and
substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from
the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
(h) Make generally available to its stockholders an earnings statement
satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including by
means of satisfying the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) as soon
as reasonably practical covering the 12-month period beginning with the first
month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date
of the registration statement.
7.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 7 that
the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of the Registrable Securities.
7.6 Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than
-------------------------------
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 7.2, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the selling Holders
selected by them shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 7.2 if the registration request is
subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders
shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to
Section 7.2; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal,
the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business
or prospects of the Company from that known to
18.
the Holders at the time of their request, then the Holders shall not be required
to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section
7.2.
7.7 Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay
--------------------------------
all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations
pursuant to Section 7.3 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided
in Section 7.13), including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees relating or apportionable
thereto and the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single counsel for the
selling Holders selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts and
commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
7.8 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
-------------------------
involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company
shall not be required under Section 7.3 to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then
only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the underwriters,
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be
included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by
the Company (or the stockholder initiating the registration) that the
underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success of the offering,
then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number
of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters
believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so
included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to
the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each
selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to
by such selling stockholders); provided, however, that in no event shall (i) the
amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced
below 30% of the total amount of securities included in such offering (unless
such offering is the Initial Public Offering, in which case the amount of
securities of the selling Holders may be reduced below 30% but only after all
securities of other selling stockholders are excluded from such offering, (ii)
any securities of selling Holders shall be excluded until all securities of
selling Founders and other employees of, or consultants and advisors to, the
Company are excluded; and (iii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold
by a stockholder exercising a demand registration right similar to that granted
in Section 7.2 be excluded from such offering.
7.9 Delay of Registration. Except with the written consent of
---------------------
Holders of two thirds of the Registrable Securities, no Holder shall have any
right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such
registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Section 7.
19.
7.10 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section 7:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the officers and directors of each Holder, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person,
if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which
they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a "Violation"): (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law); and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer or director, underwriter or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 7.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, officer, director, underwriter or controlling
person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other
Holder selling securities in such registration statement or any of its directors
or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, or underwriter or controlling person, or
other such Holder or director, officer or controlling person may become subject,
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person,
20.
underwriter or controlling person, other Holder, officer, director, or
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection 7.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, in no event shall any indemnity
under this subsection 7.10(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received
by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7.10, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such
action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 7.10, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
7.10.
(d) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7.10
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 7, and otherwise.
7.11 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to
---------------------------------------------
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its
Common Stock under section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the
Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such
action to be taken as soon as
21.
practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration
statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general
public is declared effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be
resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports
and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC
which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or
pursuant to such form.
7.12 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from
---------------------
any Holder or Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a
registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any
related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 7.12: (i) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) if the Holders, together
with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in
such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other
securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any
underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $500,000; (iii) if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of
the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
Registration Statement for a period of not more than 60 days after receipt of
the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 7.12; provided, however,
that the Company shall not utilize this right more than
22.
once in any 12-month period; (iv) if the Company has already effected four
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.12; (v) if
the Company has, within the 12-month period preceding the date of such request,
already effected a registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this
Section 7.12 and other similar provisions granting rights to registration on
Form S-3; or (vi) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration
statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested
to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests
of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration
requested pursuant to Section 7.12, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing, qualification, printers' and accounting fees and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and a single
counsel for the selling Holder or Holders shall be borne by the Company.
Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall not be counted as
demands for registration effected pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.13 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 may be
assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of an amount of such securities
representing not less than the greater of (i) 25,000 shares of Series A, Series
B or Series C Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issuable upon the conversion
thereof) or (ii) 15% of the shares of Series A, Series B or Series C Preferred
Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) purchased hereunder
by such Holder (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof); provided,
in each case, that the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer,
furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or
assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are
being assigned and the Company's Board of Directors approves such transfer,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that
no such assignment shall be effective if immediately following such transfer the
Company's shares are publicly traded and the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignee is not restricted under the Securities
Act. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable
Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and
assignees of a partnership who are partners or retired partners of such
partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of
such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or
intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the partnership;
provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually
for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action
under this Section 7.
7.14 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the
---------------------------------------------
date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter
into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of
the Company which would allow such holder or
23.
prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed
under Section 7.2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder
or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only
to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of
the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make a
demand registration which could result in such registration statement being
declared effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth in
subsection 7.2(a) or within 120 days of the effective date of any registration
effected pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.15 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Investor hereby agrees that it
--------------------------
shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common
Stock (or other securities) of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or
dispose (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) of any
Registrable Securities during a reasonable and customary period of time, as
agreed to by the Company and the underwriters, not to exceed 180 days, following
the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act; provided, however, that:
(a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the Initial Public
Offering; and
(b) all officers and directors of the Company and all other persons
with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into
similar agreements.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to Investor's Registrable Securities
(and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such reasonable and customary period.
7.16 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section
--------------------------------
7 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with
the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any
securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including
securities into which such securities are convertible), each future holder of
all such securities, and the Company.
7.17 Termination of Registration Rights. The Company's obligations
----------------------------------
pursuant to this Section 7 shall terminate seven years from the date of
consummation of the Company's sale of its Common Stock in a bona fide, firm
commitment underwriting pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-l under
the Securities Act which results in gross offering proceeds to the Company of at
least $7,500,000, the public offering price of which was not less than $7.50 per
share (adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits or recapitalizations).

8. Covenants.
---------
8.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to
--------------------------------
each Major Investor (as defined below):
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company:
(i) an income statement for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the
Company as of the end of such year, and a schedule as to the cash flows for such
year, such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and audited
and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized
standing selected by the Company; and
(ii) a capitalization summary of the Company indicating the
stockholders of the Company as of the end of such fiscal year and the type and
amount of securities owned of record by such stockholder and a list of holders
of all options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of the Company
and the number of securities covered by such options, warrants or other rights.
(b) (i) within 45 days of the end of each of the first three fiscal
quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, an unaudited statement of
operations, cash flow analysis and balance sheet for and as of the end of such
quarter, in reasonable detail; such quarterly statements shall also contain the
foregoing information for the corresponding periods of the immediately preceding
fiscal year in comparative form; and
(ii) within 45 days of the end of each month, an unaudited statement
of operations, cash flow analysis and balance sheet for and as of the end of
such month, in reasonable detail; such monthly statements shall also contain the
foregoing information on a year-to-date basis; and
(iii) within 30 days prior to the close of each fiscal year, a
business plan for the next fiscal year and an operating budget for the next
fiscal year forecasting the Company's revenues, expenses and cash position,
prepared on a monthly basis, including balance sheets and sources and
applications of funds statements for such months.
(c) with respect to the financial statements called for in subsection
(b)(i) of this Section 8.1, an instrument executed by the Treasurer or the
President of the Company and certifying that such financials were prepared in
accordance with internally consistent accounting methods consistently applied
with prior practice for earlier periods and fairly present the financial
condition of the Company and its results of operation for the period specified,
subject to year-end audit adjustment. For the purpose of this Section 8, a
"Major Investor" is an Investor or an assignee of an Investor which owns Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A, Series B and/or
Series C Preferred Stock
25.
representing at least 10% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all outstanding securities of the
Company convertible into or exchangeable from Common Stock and the exercise of
all outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock.
8.2 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at
----------
such Major Investor's expense, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to
examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company's affairs,
finances and accounts with its officers, all at such reasonable times as may be
requested by such Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated pursuant to this Section 8.2 to provide access to any information
which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential
information.
8.3 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections
------------------------
8.1 and 8.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when the sale
of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under
the Securities Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering
of its securities to the general public is consummated or when the Company first
becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, whichever event shall first occur; provided that the
Company shall furnish to each Major Investor copies of its reports on Forms 10-K
and 10-Q within 10 days after filing with the SEC.
8.4 Right of First Refusal. Subject to the terms and conditions
----------------------
specified in this Section 8.4, the Company hereby grants to each Investor a
right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares
(as hereinafter defined). Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares
of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for, any class of its capital
stock ("Shares"), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to
each Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail or an
established overnight courier ("Notice") to each Investor stating (i) its bona
fide intention to offer or issue such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to
be offered, and (iii) the price, if any, for which it proposes to offer such
Shares.
(b) Within 15 calendar days after receipt of the Notice, such Investor
may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the
Notice, up to that portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock then owned, or issuable upon conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock then owned, by such Investor bears to the total number
of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock then outstanding. The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform
each Investor which elects to purchase all the Shares available to it ("Fully
Exercising Investor") of any other Investor which does not elect to purchase all
of the Shares available to such other Investor ("Non-Fully Exercising
Investor"). During the 10-day period commencing after receipt of such
information, each Fully Exercising Investor shall
26.
be entitled to obtain that portion of the shares subject to such right of first
refusal and not subscribed for by the Non-Fully Exercising Investors which is
equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock, or issuable
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock then owned, by such Fully
Exercising Investor bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock then
owned, or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock then owned,
by all Fully Exercising Investors which wish to purchase some of the
unsubscribed shares.
(c) If all such Shares referred to in the Notice are not elected to be
obtained as provided in subsection 8.4(b) hereof, the Company may, during the
90-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection
8.4(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed Shares to any person or persons
at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree
than those, specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an
agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is
not consummated within 90 days of the execution thereof, the right provided
hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered
unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer granted in this Section 8.4 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor), to employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company for
the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services, provided each
such issuance or sale is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of
the Company's Board of Directors, (ii) to the issuance and sale of the Company's
securities to a corporation, partnership or other entity with which the Company
has a partnership, joint venture or other business relationship, provided that
such issuances are for other than primarily equity financing purposes and that
each such issuance and sale is approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
(iii) to the issuance and sale of the Company's securities in connection with
the acquisition by the Company of the stock or other equity interests in, or all
or substantially all of the assets of, another corporation, partnership or other
entity, provided that in the case of an acquisition of stock or other equity
interests the Company acquires at least 50% of such stock or other equity
interests, (iv) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor) in connection with any equipment lease financing or the incurrence of
any indebtedness for money borrowed, provided each such issuance and sale is
approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (v) to the issuance of Common
Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Stock, or (vi) to or after consummation
of a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of shares of the Company's
Common Stock registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-1, which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at
least $7,500,000.
8.5 Invention and Proprietary Information Agreements. The Company
------------------------------------------------
shall use its best efforts to cause each of its employees and consultants to
enter into an employee and proprietary information agreement in a form approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company.

To the Investors Listed on the
Schedule of Investors to the
Qualix Group, Inc. Series C Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 1993
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Qualix Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance and sale of shares
of its Series C Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") pursuant to the
Qualix Group, Inc. Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated November
16, 1993 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among the Company and each of you.
This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement in connection with the Closing of the sale of the Series C
Preferred Stock. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion have
the meaning given them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the opinions expressed herein we have made such
examination of matters of law and of fact as we considered appropriate or
advisable for purposes hereof. As to matters of fact material to the opinions
expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations and warranties as to
factual matters contained in and made by the Company pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement and upon certificates and statements of government officials
and of officers of the Company. We have also examined originals or copies of
such corporate documents or records of the Company as we have considered
appropriate for the opinions expressed herein. We have assumed for the purposes
of this opinion that the signatures on documents and instruments examined by us
are authentic, that each document is what it purports to be, and that all
documents submitted to us as copies conform with the originals, which facts we
have not independently verified.
In rendering this opinion we have also assumed: (A) that the Stock
Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by you or on
your behalf and constitutes valid, binding and enforceable obligations upon you;
(B) that the representations and warranties made in the Stock Purchase Agreement
by you are true and correct; (C) that any wire transfers, drafts or checks
tendered by you will be honored; (D) if you are a corporation or other entity,
that you have filed any required state franchise, income or similar tax returns
and have paid any required state franchise, income or similar taxes; and (E)
that
there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the
Stock Purchase Agreement that would modify or interpret the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement or the respective rights or obligations of the parties
thereunder.
As used in this opinion, the expression "we are not aware" or the
phrase "best of our knowledge" means as to matters of fact that, based on the
actual knowledge of individual attorneys within the firm principally responsible
for handling current matters for the Company and after an examination of
documents referred to herein and after inquiries of certain officers of the
Company, we find no reason to believe that the opinions expressed are factually
incorrect; but beyond that we have made no factual investigation for the
purposes of rendering this opinion. Specifically, but without limitation, we
have made no inquiries of securities holders or employees of the Company.
This opinion relates solely to the laws of the State of California,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the
United States, and we express no opinion with respect to the effect or
application of any other laws. Special rulings of authorities administering
such laws or opinions of other counsel have not been sought or obtained. With
respect to the securities laws of the states of California and Delaware, our
opinion is based solely on our examination of unofficial compilations of such
laws.
Based upon our examination of and reliance upon the foregoing and
subject to the limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions set forth
below and except as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Schedule of
Exceptions thereto, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Company has
the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct
its business.
2. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
in each state or jurisdiction of the United States where its failure to do so
would have a materially adverse effect on its business or properties.
3. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform the Stock Purchase Agreement. The foregoing has
been duly and validly authorized by the Company, duly executed and delivered by
an authorized officer of the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company according to its
terms; provided that enforceability of the indemnity obligations of Section 7.10
may be limited by public policy.
4. The capitalization of the Company is as follows:
(a) Preferred Stock. 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
---------------
value $.001 per share, of which (i) 1,225,001 shares have been designated Series
A Preferred Stock, all of which are issued and outstanding, (ii) 923,077 shares
have been designated Series B Preferred Stock, all of which are issued and
outstanding, and (iii) 753,291 shares have been
designated Series C Preferred Stock, 520,862 of which are issued and outstanding
and up to 232,429 of which may be purchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement. Such shares of outstanding Series A, Series B Preferred Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock have been duly authorized, issued, delivered and are
validly outstanding and nonassessable and are fully paid. The outstanding Series
A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock were issued in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws. Such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock purchased at the Closing have been duly authorized, and once fully paid,
will be duly issued and delivered and validly outstanding and nonassessable. The
respective rights, privileges and preferences of the Series A, Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock are as stated in the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation attached as Exhibit A to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
---------
(b) Common Stock. 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
------------
$.000333-1/3 per share, and to the best our knowledge, 2,965,651 shares have
been duly authorized, issued and delivered and are validly outstanding and
nonassessable and are fully paid.
(c) The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock purchased at the Closing has been duly and validly reserved for
issuance and, when and if issued upon such conversion in accordance with the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
(d) Except for (i) the conversion privileges of the Series A,
Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) the rights of first refusal of the
Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock holders provided for in section
8.4 of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Series B Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement and the First Series C Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement and the rights to first refusal of Investors provided for in Section
8.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, and (iii) outstanding options to purchase
308,508 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1991 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, there are no preemptive rights or, to the best of our knowledge,
options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights (or agreements for any
such rights) outstanding to purchase or otherwise obtain from the Company any of
the Company's securities.
5. The certificates representing shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock are in due and proper form and have been duly and validly executed by the
officers of the Company named thereon.
6. The execution, delivery, performance and compliance with the terms
of the Stock Purchase Agreement do not violate any provision of any applicable
federal, state or, to the best of our knowledge, local law, rule or regulation
or any provision of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws and do not conflict with or constitute a default under the provisions of
any judgment, writ, decree or order specifically identified in the Schedule of
Exceptions or the material provisions of any material agreement specifically
identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound.
7. All consents, approvals, permits, orders or authorizations of, and
all qualifications, registrations, designations, declarations or filings with,
any federal or Delaware or California state governmental authority on the part
of the Company required in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Stock Purchase Agreement and consummation at the Closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement have been obtained, and are
effective, except the filing required by Section 25102(f) of the California
Corporate Securities Law of 1968, and we are not aware of any proceedings, or
threat thereof, which question the validity thereof.
8. Based in part upon the representations of you in the Stock
Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Series C Preferred Stock to you
pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement are exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and from the qualification
requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, by
virtue of Section 25102(f) thereof, and, under such securities laws as they
presently exist, the issuance of Common Stock to you upon conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock would also be exempt from such registration and
qualification requirements.
9. We are not aware that there is any action, proceeding or
governmental investigation pending, against the Company or any of its officers,
directors or employees, or that any of the foregoing has received any threat
thereof, which questions the validity of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the
right of the Company or its officers, directors and employees to enter into such
Stock Purchase Agreement, nor are we aware of any litigation pending, against
the Company or any of its officers, directors or employees, or that any of the
foregoing has received any threat thereof, by reason of the proposed activities
of the Company, the past employment relationships of its officers, directors or
employees, or negotiations by the Company or any of its officers or directors
with possible investors in the Company or its business.
10. Neither the Restated Certificate of Incorporation nor Bylaws of
the Company is in violation of any provision of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware.
Our opinions expressed above are specifically subject to the following
limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:
(A) The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the
rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the
effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances and
preferential transfers.
(B) We express no opinion as to the Company's compliance or
noncompliance with applicable federal or state antifraud or antitrust statutes,
laws, rules and regulations.
(C) Limitations imposed by state law, federal law or general equitable
principles upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or
other provisions of any applicable agreement and upon the availability of
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether enforcement
of any such agreement is considered a proceeding in equity or at law.
(D) The effect of court decisions, invoking statutes or principles of
equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are
unenforceable where enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the
circumstances would violate the enforcing party's implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing.
(E) The unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions
indemnifying a party against, or requiring contributions toward, that party's
liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts, or where indemnification or
contribution is contrary to public policy. In this regard, we advise you that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification of
directors, officers and controlling persons of an issuer against liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy
and is therefore unenforceable.
This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above solely for
your benefit in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and may not be
delivered to, quoted or relied upon by any person other than you, or for any
other purpose, without our prior written consent. Our opinion is expressly
limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by
implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company. We
assume no obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or
developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may
alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.
Very truly yours,
XXXXXXX, XXXXXXX & XXXXXXXX
