(a) Company and each directly and indirectly owned
subsidiary of Company (the "COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES") has been duly organized and

laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may
be, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being
conducted. Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to
do business, and is in good standing (to the extent applicable), in each
jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by
it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing
necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good
standing that could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, any change in or effect on the business of Company and the Company
Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate (taking into account all
other such changes or effects), is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially
adverse to the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT")
(b) Section 3.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth,
as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of each Company
Subsidiary, together with (i) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization

arrangement or other business entity.

Certificate or bylaws.

of 100,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred

warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any
character to which Company is a party or by which Company is bound relating
to the issued or unissued capital stock of Company or any Company Subsidiary
or obligating Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue or sell any shares
of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, Company or any Company
Subsidiary. All shares of Company Common Stock subject to issuance as
aforesaid, upon issuance prior to the Effective Time on the terms and

Common Stock or any capital stock of any Company Subsidiary. Each outstanding
share of capital stock of each Company Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and each such share owned by Company or
another Company Subsidiary is free and clear of all security interests,
liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, agreements,
limitations on Company's or such other Company Subsidiary's voting rights,
charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever. There are no
material outstanding contractual obligations of Company or any Company

accordance with their terms, subject to any effect of applicable bankruptcy,

equitable remedies. The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of

preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.

bylaws of Company or any equivalent organizational documents of any Company
Subsidiary, (ii) assuming that all filings and notifications described in

amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder).
(b) Each Company Benefit Plan has been administered in all
material respects in accordance with its terms and all applicable laws,
including ERISA and the Code, and contributions required to be made under the
terms of any of the Company Benefit Plans as of the date of this Agreement have
been timely made or, if not yet due, have been properly reflected on the most
recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by reference in the S-1
Registration prior to the date of this Agreement. With respect to the Company
Benefit Plans, no event has occurred and, to the knowledge of Company, there
exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which Company or
any Company Subsidiary could be subject to any material liability (other than
for routine benefit liabilities) under the terms of, or with respect to, such
Company Benefit Plans, ERISA, the Code or any other applicable Law.
6
<PAGE>
(c) No suit, administrative proceeding, action or other
litigation has been brought, or to the knowledge of Company is threatened,
against or with respect to any such Company Benefit Plan, including any audit or
inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service or United States Department of Labor
(other than routine benefits claims).
(d) No Company Benefit Plan is a multiemployer pension plan
(as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or other pension plan subject to Title IV
of ERISA and neither the Company, any Company Subsidiary nor any other trade or
business (whether or not incorporated) that is under "common control" with
Company or a Company Subsidiary (within the meaning of ERISA Section 4001) or
with respect to which Company or any Company Subsidiary could otherwise incur
liability under Title IV of ERISA (a "COMPANY ERISA AFFILIATE") has sponsored or
contributed to or been required to contribute to a multiemployer pension plan or
other pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA. No material liability under
Title IV of ERISA has been incurred by Company, any Company Subsidiary or any
Company ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition
exists that presents a material risk to Company or any Company Subsidiary of
incurring or being subject (whether primarily, jointly or secondarily) to a
material liability thereunder. None of the assets of Company or any Company
Subsidiary is, or may reasonably be expected to become, the subject of any lien
arising under ERISA or Section 412(n) of the Code.
(e) With respect to each Benefit Plan that is subject to Title
IV or Part 3 of Title I of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (i) no reportable

not required to be reported before or within 30 days of such event) has occurred
or is expected to occur, (ii) there was not an accumulated funding deficiency
(within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether
or not waived, as of the most recently ended plan year of such Benefit Plan; and

correct copies of (i) all employment agreements with officers and all consulting
agreements of Company and each Company Subsidiary, (ii) all severance plans,
agreements, programs and policies of Company and each Company Subsidiary with or
relating to their respective employees, directors or consultants, and (iii) all
plans, programs, agreements and other arrangements of Company and each Company
Subsidiary with or relating to their respective employees, directors or
consultants which contain "change of control" provisions. No payment or benefit
which may be required to be made by Company or any Company Subsidiary or which
otherwise may be required to be made under the terms of any Company Benefit Plan
or other arrangement will constitute a parachute payment under Code Section
280(G)(1), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will not, alone or in conjunction with any other possible event
(including termination of employment), (i) entitle any current or former
employee or other service provider of Company or any Company Subsidiary to
severance benefits or any other payment, compensation or benefit (including
forgiveness of indebtedness), except as expressly provided by this Agreement, or
(ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of
compensation or benefit due any such employee or service provider.
(g) Neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary is a party to,
or has any obligations under or with respect to, any collective bargaining or

any person or entity that may obligate the Company or any Company Subsidiary
thereunder. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no labor dispute, strike,
union organizing activity or work stoppage against Company or any Company
Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened which may
interfere with the respective business activities of Company or any Company
Subsidiary. As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of Company, none
of Company, any Company Subsidiary, or any of their respective representatives
or employees has committed any unfair labor practice in connection with the
operation of the respective businesses of Company or any Company Subsidiary, and
there is no charge or complaint against Company or any Company Subsidiary by the
National Labor Relations Board or any comparable Governmental Entity pending or
threatened in writing.
3.10 CONTRACTS. Neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in
violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice could reasonably be expected to
cause such a violation of or default under) any contract or agreement that is
material to the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of
operations of Company and Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (each, a
"MATERIAL CONTRACT"). Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and is
a legal, valid and binding obligation of Company or a Company Subsidiary and, to
the knowledge of Company, each of the other parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
3.11 LITIGATION . There is no suit, claim, action, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against
Company or any Company Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or
materially interfere with Company's ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby, and, to the knowledge of Company, there are no existing
facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in such a
suit, claim, action, proceeding or investigation. Company is not aware of any

denial of insurance coverage under policies issued to Company and Company
Subsidiaries in respect of such suits, claims, actions, proceedings and
investigations, except in any case as could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
Neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary is subject to any outstanding order,
writ, injunction or decree which could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or
materially interfere with Company's ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.
3.12 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. To the Company's knowledge, except as

Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (i) Company and the Company Subsidiaries

required by Environmental Laws; (ii) all past noncompliance of Company or any
Company Subsidiary with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits has been
resolved without any pending, ongoing or future obligation, cost or liability;
and (iii) neither Company nor any Company Subsidiary has released a Hazardous
Material at, or transported a Hazardous Material to or from, any real property
currently or formerly owned, leased or occupied by Company or any Company
Subsidiary, in violation of any Environmental Law. For purposes of this
Agreement, "ENVIRONMENTAL LAW" shall mean any Law and any enforceable judicial
or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or
administrative
8
