Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Common Shares and the Warrants. Purchaser has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Common Shares and Warrants.
4.3 Investment Intent. Purchaser is purchasing the Common Shares and the Warrants for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act, other than as contemplated by Article 7, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Common Shares and the Warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed, or by the Closing Date will complete or cause to be completed, the Registration Statement Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the responses provided therein shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date (unless otherwise notified by the Purchaser to the Company) and will be true and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement.

Purchaser will hold in confidence all information concerning this Agreement and the placement of the Securities hereunder (to the extent such information is not publicly available through no fault of the Purchaser) until the earlier of such time as (a) the Company has made a public announcement concerning the Agreement and the placement of the Securities hereunder, or (b) this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that the foregoing provision of this Section 4.6 shall not apply, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation of confidence, express or otherwise, to the Company, if the Company does not issue a press release concerning the Agreement and the placement of the Securities hereunder within one (1) day after the Closing Date.
4.7 Residency. Purchaser made its decision to purchase the Securities hereunder in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4.8 Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Shares or the Warrants.
4.9 Legend. Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Securities may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):
“[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE] HAVE [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
9
If Rule 144(k) is available to a Purchaser, the Company shall, upon a Purchaser’s written request and delivery of appropriate documents reasonably requested by the Company, promptly cause certificates evidencing the Securities to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends, and Warrant Shares subsequently issued upon due exercise of the Warrants shall not bear such restrictive legends provided Rule 144(k) is available with respect to such Warrant Shares.
4.10 Foreign Investors. If Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Common Shares and the Warrants or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (c) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.

The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 7.3 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Purchasers by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective in accordance with the provisions hereof.
7.4 Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided,
14
however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Purchaser of Registrable Shares (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such Purchaser) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i)(A) such Purchaser failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Purchaser to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Purchaser to the person asserting such claim, (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented, such Purchaser thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of a Registrable Share to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted or (iii) such Purchaser sold Registrable Shares in violation of such Purchaser’s covenants contained in Section 7.5(b) or 7.5(c) of this Agreement.
(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Purchaser will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7.4(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
15
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.4, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of the Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
16
(a) Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Shares without complying with Section 8.3.
(b) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Purchaser shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 7.2 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Purchaser’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Shares currently in such Purchaser’s possession at the time of receipt of such notice.
(c) Each Purchaser shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant the Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 7.2 during any period, so long as the aggregate number of days during which such disposition is suspended in any one six (6) month period does not exceed forty-five (45) days, (i) that the Company requires in connection with a primary underwritten offering of equity securities; or (ii) if the Company determines in good faith that offers and sales pursuant thereto should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in such a prospectus is premature or would have an adverse effect on the Company; provided that the Company will amend or supplement, to the extent necessary, the Registration Statement, at the end of such period to allow the Purchaser to dispose of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(d) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Shares, each Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Purchaser and the distribution proposed by such Purchaser as the Company may request in writing, including completing the Registration Statement Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C.
7.6 Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold, (b) such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be resold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (c) the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

17
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(ii) 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
(iii) so long as any of the Purchasers own Registrable Shares, to furnish to such Purchaser upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or whether it is qualified as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to SEC Form S-3, and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company.

Subject to Section 7.9 above, from the date hereof until the Effective Date, the Company agrees not to effect any private sale or distribution for its own account of any of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (a “Subsequent Placement”), unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 7.10.
(a) If the Company proposes to effect any Subsequent Offering, it shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the securities offered (the “Offered Securities”), identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged, the price (or the anticipated mechanism for determining the price) and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same (the “Notice”).
(b) Each Purchaser shall have ten (10) days from the giving of such Notice (the “Election Period”) to agree to purchase its “pro rata share” of the Offered Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Notice by providing written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of Offered Securities to be purchased. For purposes of this Section 7.10, each Purchaser’s “pro rata share” is equal to the ratio of (i) the number of Common Shares and Warrant Shares (assuming full exercise of the Warrants) which such
18
Purchaser purchased on the Closing Date to (ii) the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (assuming full exercise of the Warrants) outstanding on the Closing Date.
(c) The Company shall have ten (10) days following the expiration of the Election Period to sell the Offered Securities in respect of which the Purchasers’ rights were not exercised or applicable (the “Eligible Securities”), but only to the offerees described in the Notice (if so described) and only at a price and upon general terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Notice to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 7.10(a) hereof. If the Company has not sold such Offered Securities within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Election Period, the Company shall not thereafter effect a Subsequent Placement without first offering such Offered Securities in the manner provided above.
(d) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Eligible Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the notices of acceptance, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Notice. The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonable satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers and their respective counsel.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the restrictions contained in this Section 7.10 shall not apply to the sale or distribution of the Company’s equity securities: (i) upon exercise or conversion of any options or other securities outstanding on the date hereof; (ii) in connection with any grant of options, warrants or the issuance of additional securities to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan or stock purchase plan duly adopted by the Company’s board of directors and in effect on the date hereof, or in respect of the issuance of the Company’s Common Stock upon exercise of any such securities; and (iii) in connection with a bona fide joint venture or development agreement or strategic partnership, the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital. In addition, the Company shall not be required to offer or sell any Offered Securities to any Purchaser who would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws.
7.11 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not provide any Purchaser or their agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the SEC (other than pursuant to the Registration Statement and exhibits to the 8-K Filing and other periodic filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act) or the NASD (other than pursuant to an application for the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market), without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or NASD regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

ALLOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, please provide us with the following information regarding the Purchaser.
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Please state your organization’s name exactly as it should appear in the Registration Statement:
2. Have you or your organization had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or its affiliates other than as disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement?
¨ Yes ¨ No
If yes, please indicate the nature of any such relationships below:
B. SECURITIES HOLDINGS
Please fill in all blanks in the following questions related to your beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock. Generally, the term “beneficial ownership” refers to any direct or indirect interest in the securities which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership, even though you may not be the holder of record of the securities. For example, securities held in “street name” over which you exercise voting or investment power would be considered beneficially owned by you. Other examples of indirect ownership include ownership by a partnership in which you are a partner or by an estate or trust of which you or any member of your immediate family is a beneficiary. Ownership of securities held in the names of your spouse, minor children or other relatives who live in the same household may be attributed to you.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ANY INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY WHICH YOU MAY HAVE, HOWEVER REMOTE, IS A BENEFICIAL INTEREST, PLEASE DESCRIBE SUCH INTEREST. FOR PURPOSES OF RESPONDING TO THIS QUESTIONNAIRE, IT IS PREFERABLE TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF INCLUSION RATHER THAN EXCLUSION. WHERE THE SEC’S INTERPRETATION OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP WOULD REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INTEREST OR POSSIBLE INTEREST IN CERTAIN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY, AND YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY POSSESS THE ATTRIBUTES OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP, AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE IS TO DISCLOSE THE INTEREST AND AT THE SAME TIME DISCLAIM BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF THE SECURITIES.
C-1

OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
November 20, 2003
To the Purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Allos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 20, 2003 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), of an aggregate of 5,172,412 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Shares”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,706,893 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and have not independently sought to verify such matters. Where we render an opinion “to the best of our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who perform legal services for the Company, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and the Warrants (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”)), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents. We have also assumed: that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that you have received all documents you were to receive under the Transaction Documents; that the Transaction Documents are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; if you or any Purchasers are a corporation or other entity, that such entities have filed any required franchise or income tax returns and have paid any required franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents that would modify or interpret
E-1
the terms of the Transaction Documents or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of Colorado and the General Corporate Law of the State of Delaware. We note that the parties to the Transaction Documents have designated the laws of the State of Delaware as the laws governing the Transaction Documents. Our opinion in paragraph 3 below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Transaction Documents is premised upon the result that would obtain if a Colorado court were to apply the internal laws of the State of Colorado (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of the State of Delaware) to the interpretation and enforcement of the Transaction Documents. 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. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below, we express no opinion with respect to any required consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations and qualifications under any antitrust laws, rules or regulations of the United States.
On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and assets and to conduct its business as, to the best of our knowledge, it is currently being conducted.
3. The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as rights to indemnity or contribution under Section 7.4 of the Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.
4. The Common Shares and the Warrants have been duly authorized, and upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Common Shares and the Warrants will be duly authorized and validly issued and the Common Shares will be fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and upon issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
E-2
5. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, including the offer, issuance and sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants pursuant to the Agreement, do not violate or contravene (a) any governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, the violation or contravention of which would materially and adversely affect the Company, its assets, financial condition or operations.
6. All consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of, and filings, registrations and qualifications with any regulatory authority or governmental body in the United States required for the issuance of the Common Shares and the Warrants have been made or obtained, except (a) for the filing of the “Notification Form: Change in Number of Shares Outstanding” with the Nasdaq National Market, (b) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D and (c) other Blue Sky filings.
7. The offer and sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.
Our opinions are limited to the specific issues addressed and are limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date hereof. By rendering our opinions, we do not undertake to advise you of any changes in such laws or facts which may occur after the date hereof or the effect that such changes or occurrences might have on our opinions.
This opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available to or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior written consent; except that each Purchaser may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed and delivered to such Purchaser on the date hereof.
Sincerely,
