W I T N E S S E T H - - - - - - - - - - WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, dated as of November 27, 2000 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), the Purchaser will be issued by the Company the Closing Shares, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Post- Closing Shares, and certain individuals will be issued by the Company the Management Shares (as those terms are defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); and WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchaser deem it to be in their respective best interests to set forth the rights of the Purchaser in connection with public offerings and sales of the Restricted Shares; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and obligations hereunder set forth, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows: 1. Definitions. ----------- As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) "Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act. (b) "Common Stock" means the common stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company. (c) "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor Federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time. (d) "Other Shares" means at any time those shares of Common Stock held by any person (or issuable upon exercise or conversion of any security held by any person) that do not constitute Primary Shares or Restricted Shares. (e) "Primary Shares" means at any time the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock held by the Company in its treasury. (f) "Restricted Shares" means the Closing Shares, the Post-Closing Shares that have not been forfeited and cancelled as of the relevant date hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the Management Shares, and any shares issued in respect of any 1 such shares in connection with any stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or any other similar event. Restricted Shares include Closing Shares and Post-Closing Shares transferred or distributed by the Purchaser to shareholders of the Purchaser. Restricted Shares shall cease to be Restricted Shares for purposes of this Agreement when (i) they have been registered under the Securities Act, the registration statement in connection therewith has been declared effective and they have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement, or (ii) in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, which counsel and opinion so rendered shall be reasonably acceptable to the holder(s) of such Restricted Shares, the holder(s) of such Restricted Shares may publicly sell such Restricted Shares pursuant to Rule 144 with no limitations as to time and volume. (g) "Rule 144" means Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto, all as the same may be in effect from time to time. (h) "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933 or any successor Federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time. 2. Registration. ------------ (a) The Company will prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (in a form of general applicability) covering the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Restricted Shares not later than 270 days (the "Filing Date") following the Closing (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that in the event that the Company's Common Stock becomes listed on a major United States market (i.e., New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ National Market System or NASDAQ Small Cap Market) prior to the Filing Date, the Company will file such registration statement as soon as practicable after such listing (but in any event not later than the Filing Date), and thereafter the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Restricted Shares not later than one year following the date of the Closing, or at the earliest commercially practicable date following such listing, if sooner. (b) If compliance with Section 2(a) has not resulted in an effective registration statement within the time periods specified therein for such effectiveness and the Company at any time within two years from the date of the Closing proposes for any reason to register Primary Shares or Other Shares under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto), it shall promptly give written notice to the representative for the holders of the Restricted Shares described in Section 10 of its intention to register such Primary Shares or Other Shares and, upon the written request delivered to the Company within 15 days after delivery of any such notice by the Company, of the holder of Restricted Shares (or the representative described in Section 10 on behalf of such holder) to include in such registration the Restricted Shares (which request shall specify the number of Restricted Shares proposed to be included in such registration), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all such Restricted Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the - -------- ------- 2 inclusion of all Restricted Shares requested to be included in such registration would interfere with the successful marketing (including pricing) of the Primary Shares or Other Shares proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of Primary Shares, Restricted Shares and Other Shares proposed to be included in such registration shall be included in the following order: (i) if the Company proposes to register Primary Shares: (A) first, the Primary Shares; and ----- (B) second, the Restricted Shares and Other Shares requested to ------ be included in such registration (or, if necessary, pro rata among the holders --- ---- thereof based upon the number of Restricted Shares and Other Shares requested to be registered by each such holder). (ii) if the Company proposes to register Other Shares pursuant to a request for registration by the holders of such Other Shares: (A) first, the Other Shares held by the parties demanding such ----- registration; (B) second, the Restricted Shares and Other Shares requested to ------ be registered by the holders thereof (or, if necessary, pro rata among the --- ---- holders thereof based on the number of Restricted Shares and Other Shares requested to be registered by such holders); and (C) third, the Primary Shares. ----- 3. Procedure for Registration. -------------------------- Whenever the Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective pursuant to Section 2, the Company will: (a) use its commercially reasonable best efforts as may be necessary that the registration statement that registers such Restricted Shares remains effective for a period of one year after the date it is declared effective or until all of the Restricted Shares covered thereby have been disposed of, if earlier (it being understood that the Company may thereafter discontinue any registration); (b) furnish, at least five business days before filing a registration statement that registers Restricted Shares, a prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements relating to such a registration statement or prospectus, to one counsel selected by the holder(s) of the Restricted Shares (the "Holders' Counsel"), copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (it being understood that such five business-day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive drafts are supplied to the Holders' Counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a period of time that is customary and reasonable under the circumstances); 3 (c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for at least a period of one year from the date it is declared effective or until all of such Restricted Shares have been disposed of (if earlier), and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of such Restricted Shares in accordance with the method of distribution set forth in such registration statement (it being understood that the Company thereafter may discontinue any registration); (d) notify in writing the Holders' Counsel promptly (i) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Restricted Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes; (e) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Restricted Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Shares may reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such sellers to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Restricted Shares owned by them; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to do so but for this paragraph (e) or to provide any material undertaking or make any changes in its bylaws or Articles of Incorporation which the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company; (f) furnish to each seller of Restricted Shares and to each underwriter participating in the disposition under such registration statement such number of copies of a summary prospectus, if any, or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the sellers of Restricted Shares or such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of such Restricted Shares; (g) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Restricted Shares to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the sellers of Restricted Shares to consummate the disposition of such Restricted Shares; (h) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to list the Registered Shares covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is then listed, or if the Company's Common Stock is then quoted on Nasdaq, to list the Restricted Shares with Nasdaq. (i) immediately notify each seller of Restricted Shares and each underwriter under such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating to such Restricted Shares is 4 required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in subparagraph (a) of this Section 2, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of the sellers of Restricted Shares or any underwriter participating in the disposition under such registration statement, prepare and furnish to the sellers or such underwriters a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; (j) if the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller of Restricted Shares, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to furnish on the date that Restricted Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (B) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained therein) and (C) to such other effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such seller or its counsel and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters reasonably may request; (k) subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, for inspection by the sellers of Restricted Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the sellers of Restricted Shares or such underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such due diligence and registration statement. Any of the Information which the Company determines in 5 good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement, (ii) the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) such Information has been made generally available to the public or (iv) the disclosure of such Information is not prohibited pursuant to the confidentiality agreement executed in connection with the receipt thereof; the Purchaser and each seller of Restricted Shares agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential; (l) issue to any underwriter to which the sellers of Restricted Shares may sell shares in such offering certificates evidencing such Restricted Shares; (m) otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to the sellers of Restricted Shares, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements (which need not be audited) covering a period of 12 months beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statements shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and (n) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Restricted Shares contemplated hereby. Each seller of Restricted Shares, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of any event of the kind described in Section 3(i) hereof, shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Restricted Shares pursuant to the registration statement covering such Restricted Shares until such holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Restricted Shares at the time of receipt of such notice. 4. Expenses. -------- All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Restricted Shares as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4) incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of complying with securities and blue sky laws, printing expenses, fees and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants, shall be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the Restricted Shares (but not any other shares which may be covered by the same registration statement) shall be borne by the holders selling such Restricted Shares, in proportion to the number of Restricted Shares sold by each such holder. 6 5. Information by Sellers. ---------------------- Each seller of Restricted Shares shall promptly furnish to the Company such written information regarding such seller and the distribution proposed by such seller as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in order to assure compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws. 6. Indemnification. --------------- In the event of a registration of Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Restricted Shares thereunder, each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Restricted Shares thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Restricted Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 hereof, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such seller, any such underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus. (a) In the event of a registration of Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, each seller of such Restricted Shares thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter participating in the disposition of such seller's Restricted Shares and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Restricted Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 hereof, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and 7 controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Restricted Shares covered by such registration statement. (b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder 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 hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 6 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 6 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. 7. Rule 144 Reporting. ------------------ With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of Restricted Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 8 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to each holder of Restricted Shares forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Restricted Shares without registration. 8. Changes in Common Stock. ----------------------- If there is any change in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or any similar event, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed. 9.

The Company and each of its respective affiliates shall be entitled to rely on such appointment and treat the Shareholder Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each shareholder of Purchaser. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to any stockholder of Purchaser, the Company or any other person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Shareholder Representative under or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, unless such action or omission results from or arises out of fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Shareholder Representative. The shareholders of Purchaser shall severally indemnify and hold the Shareholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on 9 the part of the Shareholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the duties of the Shareholder Representative hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Shareholder Representative, and shall reimburse the Shareholder Representative for all reasonable expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Shareholder Representative in connection with administration of the duties of the Shareholder Representative hereunder.

("PCS"). This opinion is being delivered to PCS pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have reviewed such matters of law as we have deemed necessary and have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of the following: (1) An executed copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement; (2) An executed copy of the Registration Rights Agreement; (3) An executed copy of the Escrow Agreement; (4) The Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company, as amended, as presently in effect; and (6) Such other agreements, documents and instruments as we deemed necessary to render this opinion. (The Asset Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement collectively, the "Agreements".) We have also examined and relied upon a certificate, dated November 17, 2000, of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware regarding the Company's legal existence and good standing. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of the Company. In rendering this opinion, we have relied as to factual matters on the representations and warranties made by the Company and PCS contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement (including the disclosure schedules attached thereto), and we have assumed the completeness and accuracy of all such representations and warranties as to factual matters. Although we have made inquiries with respect to such matters, and relied upon representations of certain principals of the Company, we have not, except as specifically noted above, made any independent review or investigation of facts in connection with this opinion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as specifically noted above, we have not made any independent review or investigation in connection with this opinion of any agreement, document, instrument, order, writ, injunction or decree or court or agency docket, nor have we made any independent investigation as to the existence of any actions, suits, investigations or proceedings, if any, pending or threatened against the Company. We have assumed the geniuneness of all signatures (other than those of the Company), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies. You have not asked us to pass upon your power and authority to enter into the Agreements or to effect the transactions contemplated thereby, nor upon the application to your authority to do so of any federal or state law or regulation, and for the purposes of this opinion we have assumed that you have all requisite power and authority and have taken all necessary corporate action to enter into the Agreements and to effect such transactions. We have assumed further that the Agreements and each related instrument and other document constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Company, and that each such party will duly and promptly perform each of its respective obligations under the Agreements and such related instruments and other documents. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the federal law of the United States of America and the Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware. We offer no opinion regarding the laws of any other jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any state securities laws. The opinions hereinafter expressed are qualified to the extent that (1) the enforceability or validity of any provision in the Agreements or any rights granted to you pursuant to any of them may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar law relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally which may be in effect from time to time, (2) the remedy of specific performance or any other equitable remedy may be unavailable in any jurisdiction or may be withheld as a matter of judicial discretion, (3) equitable principles may be applied in construing or enforcing any of the provisions of the Agreements, or any other instrument or document, and (4) the enforceability, validity or binding effect of any provision of the Agreements may be limited by applicable law which may limit particular rights and remedies but not so as to interfere materially with the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided to you by the Agreements. In addition, the opinions set forth below are subject to the qualification that the enforcement of any of your rights is in all cases subject to your implied duty of good faith. The opinions set forth below are further qualified in that we offer no opinion with respect to the enforceability or validity of any provision in the Agreements relating to the Shareholder Representative (including, without limitation, his appointment, power to act or responsibilities), as to any stockholders of the Company who have not approved in writing the appointment of such Shareholder Representative and agreed to grant him the powers described in the Agreements. Based upon and subject to the foregoing and upon such other investigations as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that: (i) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite corporate power and authority under the laws of such state to own, lease and operate its properties, to conduct its business and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreements; (ii) All necessary corporate proceedings of the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company to approve and adopt the Agreements and to authorize the execution and delivery of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly taken; (iii) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreements, and the Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute its legal, valid and biding obligations; (iv) Except as disclosed by the Company in the Agreements and the disclosure schedules attached to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we know of no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Company. or before or by any Federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or arbitrator that would, if determined adversely to the Company, have a material adverse effect on the business or assets of the Company; (v) To the best of our knowledge there is no litigation pending or threatened against the Company. (vi) The execution and delivery of the Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the performance thereof will not result in a violation of, or constitute a default under, (i) the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, (ii) to the best of our knowledge, any governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company (other than federal and state securities laws and regulations), (iii) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award know to us that has been entered against the Company. This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity, other than your counsel, without our prior written permission.

The Purchaser understands that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Purchaser's investment intention. (ii) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or by reason of his business and financial experience, and the business and financial experience of those persons unaffiliated with the Company retained by him, if any, to advise him with respect to his investment in the Common Stock, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Stock.

In making an investment decision, the Purchaser must rely on his own examination of the Company and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the documents described in paragraph (iii) above. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Common Stock is subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. The Purchaser should be aware that he will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time. (vii) The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Common Stock is being offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder and any interests therein or in the Conversion Stock may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (ii) an exemption from registration under such act and such laws which, in the opinion of counsel for the holder of such Common Stock, which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, is available.
