The Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of all Liens except such as are described in the Offering Memorandum (or, if the Offering Memorandum is not finalized and dated as of the date hereof, the most recent Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or as described in Section 2(b)(4) of this Agreement, such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and any real property and buildings held under lease or sublease by the Company and any Subsidiary are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases or subleases with such exceptions as are not material to, and do not interfere with, the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and such Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of any claim adverse to its ownership of any real or personal property or of any claim against the continued possession of any real property, whether owned or held under lease or sublease by the Company or any Subsidiary.

To the Company's knowledge, none of the patents owned or licensed by the Company or any Subsidiary are invalid or unenforceable. To the Company's knowledge, all technical information developed by and belonging to the Company or any Subsidiary which has not been patented has been kept confidential, except such information, the disclosure of which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property of the Company or any Subsidiary. There is no pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company's or any Subsidiary's rights in or to any Intellectual Property or Third Party Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. There is no pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. (dd) The Company has duly filed or caused to be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") and applicable foreign and international patent authorities all patent applications described in the Offering Memorandum (or, if the Offering Memorandum is not finalized and dated as of the date hereof, the most recent Preliminary Offering Memorandum) and owned by the Company. The Company has complied with the PTO's duty of candor and disclosure, and complied with such duty that any other applicable patent office may have, regarding prosecution of the patent applications and made no misrepresentation in the patent applications. The Company is not aware of any facts material to a determination of patentability regarding the patent applications not called to the attention of the PTO that would preclude the grant of a patent for the patent applications; and the Company has secured with appropriate legal instruments clear title to the patent applications and has no knowledge of any facts which would adversely affect the patent applications. (ee) The Company and each Subsidiary maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company considers adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties, all of which insurance is in full force and effect. There are no claims by the Company or any Subsidiary under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company has indicated that it intends to deny liability or to provide defense 12 under a reservation of rights clause. The Company believes that it will be able to renew its existing insurance as and when such coverage expires or will be able to obtain replacement insurance adequate for the conduct of the business and the value of its properties at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (ff) The Company has in effect insurance covering the Company and its directors and officers for liabilities or losses arising in connection with this Offering, including, without limitation, liabilities or losses arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable foreign securities laws. (gg) Each of the Company and each Subsidiary has prepared and timely filed all federal, state, local, foreign and other tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid or made provision for the payment of all taxes, assessments, governmental or other similar charges, including, without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which the Company or the Subsidiary is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any tax return). No deficiency assessment with respect to a proposed adjustment of the Company's or any Subsidiary's federal, state, local or foreign taxes is pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments and related liabilities for any such period. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary have incurred any liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course of its business.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Initial Purchaser, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchaser or any controlling person, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, or (B) any materials or information provided to investors by the Company, or with the written approval of the Company, in connection with the marketing of the Securities, including any road show or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) ("Marketing Materials"), (2) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, or in any Marketing Materials, a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (3) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement, any of the other Offering Documents or any certificate, letter, schedule, document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) hereof, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser consists solely of the material identified in Section 15 hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have, including under this Agreement. (b) The Initial Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company, (ii) 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, 26 and (iii) the officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Company, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall the Initial Purchaser be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Notes. The parties acknowledge and agree that such information provided by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser consists solely of the material identified in Section 15 hereof. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have, including under this Agreement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the 27 indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying party or parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of one such counsel and any local counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 or Section 9 hereof (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless (x) such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or judgment. 9. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable from an indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses suffered by the Company, any contribution received by the Company from persons, other than the Initial Purchaser, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to which the Company and the Initial Purchaser may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total proceeds from the offering of the Notes (net of discounts but before deducting expenses) received by the 28 Company bear to (b) the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser, respectively. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Initial Purchaser and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, (i) in no case shall the Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser in respect of the Notes resold by such Initial Purchaser in the initial placement of such Notes exceeds the amount of any damages which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission, or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, (A) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (B) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchaser or any controlling person shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and (C) each person, if any, who controls any Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (D) the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 9, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the failure to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 9 or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its prior written consent, provided that such written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 10. Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants and indemnities of the Company and the Initial Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any investigation 29 made by or on behalf of officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, representatives or controlling persons referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and (b) delivery of and payment for the Notes, and shall, subject to Section 13 hereof, be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, any successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives of the Company, the Initial Purchaser and the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8 hereof. The respective agreements, covenants and indemnities set forth in Sections 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement. 11. Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Initial Purchaser by notice to the Company given in the event that (i) the Company has failed, refused or been unable to satisfy all conditions and obligations on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) if at or prior to the Closing Date or at or prior to the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be: (A) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Initial Purchaser will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company's securities or securities in general; (B) trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, shall have been suspended or made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or by order of the Commission or other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (C) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or if any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (D) (1) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, or (2) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (1) or (2), in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes or the Optional Notes, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Offering Memorandum. (b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 10 hereof. 30 (c) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, or if the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchaser set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Initial Purchaser, reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and the expenses of its counsel), incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection herewith. 12. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing, shall be delivered by hand delivery, by telecopier, by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or by first-class mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given (i) when made, if made by hand delivery, (ii) upon confirmation, if made by telecopier (provided notice is also given by some other means permitted by this Section 12), (iii) one Business Day after being deposited with such courier, if made by overnight courier or (iv) on the date indicated on the notice of receipt, if made by first-class mail, to the parties as follows: to the Initial Purchaser c/o McMahan Securities Co.

The Company is not and, immediately after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Offering 41 Memorandum, will not be required to register as an "investment company," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 15. When the Notes are issued and delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, such Notes will not be of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as securities of the Company that are listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or that are quoted on a United States automated inter-dealer quotation system. 16. The statements in the Offering Memorandum under the captions "Description of the Notes", "Description of Capital Stock," insofar as such statements purport to summarize the provisions of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes and the Common Stock (including the Conversion Shares), fairly summarize such provisions. 17.
