and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of
the SEC Reports, when filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Closing Date,
then on the date of such filing) by the Company, contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the

reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no
anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in
any agreement providing rights to security holders) and the issuance and sale of the Securities
will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person
(other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of the Company’s securities to adjust the exercise,
conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities.




          (g) Compliance. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company is not in default under

outside the United States, it agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each
