     (b) The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself and each of its Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company and such Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of America or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as shall be customary, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, for companies similarly situated in the industry.

    SECTION 4.05.     SECURITIES MATTERS.

     (a) The Company shall file all periodic reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act in a timely manner and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act.

The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States following the date of the Closing.

     For a period of six months following the date hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the each of the Purchasers, issue or sell any shares of the Company’s capital stock or other securities exercisable for, convertible into or otherwise giving the holder thereof the right to acquire the Company’s capital stock at a price per share, including the exercise or conversion price per share, which is below $0.40 per share; provided, however,

15


that this restriction shall not apply to any capital stock issued pursuant to: (i) employee benefit plans set forth on SCHEDULE 3.01(c) annexed hereto, (ii) outstanding warrants, options or other securities set forth on SCHEDULE 3.01(c) annexed hereto or the Company filings under the Exchange Act or (iii) a merger or acquisition or other strategic transaction or partnership; provided that such strategic transaction or partnership does not include a capital raise by the Company below $0.40 per share.

DGFC may elect to participate in such contemplated issuance or sale at the same price per share and on the same terms by delivering written notice to the Company within 20 days after delivery of the Sale Notice. The number or amount of each security that DGFC shall be entitled to purchase shall equal the product of (a) the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by DGFC, on a fully diluted basis, multiplied by (b) the number or amount of securities to be sold in the contemplated issuance or sale; provided that in no event shall such percentage exceed 19.99% of the Company.

    SECTION 4.09     BOARD REPRESENTATION.

     The Company hereby grants to DGFC the right to recommend one qualified individual to be elected to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company shall take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary, consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company, to ensure that one individual recommended by the Purchaser is included on the Board of Director’s slate of nominees for the election of Directors and recommended for election. Thereafter, for so long as DGFC is a holder of not less than 85% of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary, consistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company, to cause the one designee of DGFC to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at each meeting at which directors are to be elected.

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Warrant No.:
Number of Shares: [______]
Date of Issuance: May 7, 2007 (“Issuance Date”)

Viewpoint Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, _______________________, the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) , is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock with the Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed and payment therefore as provided herein at any time or times on or after the date that is six months after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), ____________________ (_______) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 16. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 2.01 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2007, among the Company and the purchasers (the “Purchasers”) referred to therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

     1. TERM OF WARRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant shall be for a term of three and one-half years and shall be exercisable, in whole or in


part, during the three year term commencing six months following the Issuance Date and ending at 11:59 P.M New York Time, on November 7, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”), and shall be void thereafter.

  2.      EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

          (a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 2(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof on any day, following the date that is six months after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part prior to the Expiration Date by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (iii) the surrender to the Company, on or as soon as practicable following the date the holder of this Warrant delivers the Exercise Notice to the Company, of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice, the Aggregate Exercise Price and this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall (X) issue and deliver to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder of this Warrant or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder of this Warrant is entitled pursuant to such exercise, or (Y) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder of this Warrant is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, this Warrant and the Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii) above, the Holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised as of the date of the Exercise Notice, irrespective of the date of delivery of this Warrant as required by clause (iii) above or the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise pursuant to this Section 2(a) is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp, transfer or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

         (b) Net Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder submits an Exercise Notice at any time following the date that is one year after the Issuance Date, and at such time an effective Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the Holder may elect to pay the Exercise Price in either cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”), as hereinafter provided, or, at the election of Holder, a combination thereof. The Holder may effect a Cashless Exercise by (i) delivery of an Exercise Notice noting that the Holder wishes to effect a Cashless Exercise and (ii) the surrender to the Company, on or as soon as practicable following the date the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice to the Company, of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), upon which the Company shall (X) issue and deliver to the address specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder of this Warrant or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder of this Warrant is entitled pursuant to such exercise, or (Y) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder of this Warrant is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Cashless Exercise shall be determined as follows:

  X = Y x (A-B)/A
  where:
 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;

A = the fair market value of one share of Common Stock at the date of exercise; and

B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of this Section 2(b), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a national exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value per share shall be the cumulative twenty (20) – day Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock for the twenty trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the date of exercise, calculated by adding up the dollars traded on such national exchange or over-the-counter market for every transaction during the twenty (20) – day period (price times shares traded) and then dividing by the total shares traded on such national exchange or over-the-counter market for the twenty (20) – day period.

          (c) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $____, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

          (d) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 13.

     3. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES UPON SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 3shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     4. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

          (a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

          (b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of common stock (“Other Common Stock”) of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Common Stock that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised

-4-


this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

     5. ORGANIC CHANGE. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the Person issuing the securities or providing the assets in such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of SPA Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to the holder of this Warrant in exchange for this Warrant, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and reasonably satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant (including, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale). In the event that an Acquiring Entity is directly or indirectly controlled by a company or entity whose common stock or similar equity interest is listed, designated or quoted on a securities exchange or trading market, the holder of this Warrant may elect to treat such Person as the Acquiring Entity for purposes of this Section 5. Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall be required to make appropriate provision to insure that the holder of this Warrant thereafter will have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant including those set forth in Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(ii) of this Warrant), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant including those set forth in Sections 2(d)(i) and 2(d)(ii) of this Warrant).

     6. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of

-5-


Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

     7. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

     8.      REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

          (a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)), registered as the holder of this Warrant may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) to the holder of this Warrant representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

          (b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder of this Warrant to the Company in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the Company (based, in part, on the net worth of, or security provided by, the Holder) and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

          (c) Warrant Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 8(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is

-6-


designated by the holder of this Warrant at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

     (d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the holder of this Warrant which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

     9. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.01 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the holder of this Warrant with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore.

     10. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the holders of SPA Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding; provided that no such action may increase the exercise price of any SPA Warrant or decrease the number of shares or class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any SPA Warrant without the written consent of the holder of this Warrant. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the SPA Warrants then outstanding.

     11. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.

     12. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the

     13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

If the holder of this Warrant and the Company are unable to agree upon such

-7-


determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and reasonably approved by the holder of this Warrant or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

     14. REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the holder of this Warrant right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holder of this Warrant and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

     15. TRANSFER.

     16. PRINCIPAL MARKET REGULATION. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall not have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant any shares of Common Stock, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise of this Warrant without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any Warrant Shares for which an Exercise Notice has been received as a result of

-8-


the operation of this Section 16, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for cancellation of such Warrant Shares, at a price per Warrant Share equal to the difference between the Closing Sale Price and the Exercise Price as of the date of the attempted exercise.

     17. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

          (a) “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.

          (b) “Common Stock” means (i) the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) any capital stock into which such Common Stock shall have been changed or any capital stock resulting from a reclassification of such Common Stock.

If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 13.

Exhibit C

Opinion of Counsel



May __, 2007



The Investors Listed on the Schedule of Purchasers Attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement

Dear Sirs:

     I am General Counsel of Viewpoint Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and I am delivering this opinion letter in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May __, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the investors listed on the Schedule of Purchasers attached thereto (individually, the “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. This opinion letter is delivered to you pursuant to Section 5.02(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

     In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:

  (a)      the Securities Purchase Agreement;
 
  (b)      the Registration Rights Agreement;
 
  (c)      the Common Stock to be issued on the date hereof;
 
  (d)      the Warrants; and
 
  (e)      such records of the Company and such other documents as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
 

     In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than signatures on behalf of the Company), the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, I have relied upon representations and warranties made in or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants and certificates of governmental officials.


     In rendering the opinions expressed below, I have assumed (except as to the Company), with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that:

  (i)      such documents (x) have been duly authorized by, (y) have been duly executed and delivered by, and (z) constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
 
  (ii)      all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized;
 
  (iii)      all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing; and
 
  (iv)      all of the parties have the power and authority (corporate, partnership or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
 

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, I am of the opinion that:

     1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business in the State of New York. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted, except, with respect to all of the foregoing, as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof.

     3. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants and the performance by it of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part and do not violate (i) its certificate of incorporation and by-laws or (ii) any applicable Federal law, rule or regulation of the United States or the State of New York.

     4. When issued in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Common Stock will (i) be free of any liens created by the Company and (ii) be validly issued.

     5. Subject to the accuracy as to factual matters of the Purchaser’s representations in Section 3.02 of the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Common Stock in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement do not require registration under the 1933 Act.

     6. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or registration with, any federal or New York State court, or any third party is required to be obtained by the Company (i)


to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Warrants or (ii) for the issuance and sale of the Common Stock as contemplated thereby, except for the listing of shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market and the filing of the Registration Statement with the Commission and a Form D with the Commission.

     7. The Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company, and constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability thereof is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

     8. Except as disclosed in the Purchase Agreement, no action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, public board or body or any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization is pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of the properties or assets of the Company which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     9. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or would constitute a default) under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or against any of the properties of the Company pursuant to, any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument (other than the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, as to which I express no opinion in this paragraph) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or affected, or any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or, to my knowledge, any order, writ, injunction or decree.

     The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comment and qualification:

  The enforceability of provisions in the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

     The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States of America, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the law of the State of New York, and I do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. I do not express any


opinion as to the insurance laws, rules, regulations or determinations of any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the State of New York).

     This opinion letter is provided to you by me in my capacity as General Counsel to the Company, and this opinion letter may not be relied upon by any other Person or for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants without, in each instance, my prior written consent.

  Very truly yours, 
   
   
   
  Andrew J. Graf 
  EVP and General Counsel
