The Company has not received written notice that any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any judgment, decree, or order, or any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, or other contract or agreement relating to the relationship of any such employee with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any other party because of the nature of the business conducted or presently proposed to be conducted by the Company or its subsidiaries.

The assessment of any additional taxes for periods for which returns have been filed is not expected to exceed the recorded liability therefor and, to the Company's knowledge, there are no material unresolved questions or claims concerning the Company's or any subsidiaries' tax liability. The Company's and its subsidiaries' tax returns have not been reviewed or audited by any taxing authority.

Part 207) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called "margin security"). None of the proceeds of the Securities will be used, directly or indirectly, by the Company for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry, any margin security or for any purpose which might cause any Basic Document and the transactions contemplated thereby to violate Regulation G, Regulation T, Regulation X, or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 2.15 GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION.
