2. INVESTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Investor represents and warrants with respect to only itself that as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:

a.. Investment Purpose. Such Investor is receiving the Common Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations contained in this Section 2(a), such Investor does not agree to hold any of the Common Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Investor is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

c. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Investor understands that the Common Shares are being offered to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Investor's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Investor to acquire the Common Shares.

d. Information. Such Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Common Shares which have been requested by such Investor. Such Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Investor's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Sections 3 and 8(l) below.

e. No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Common Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Common Shares.

f. Transfer or Resale. Such Investor understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Common Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Investor shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Common Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Common Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144") (which reasonable assurances may be satisfied by such Investor's delivery to the Company of a letter of representation covering the representations described in Exhibit C to this Agreement); (ii) any sale of the Common Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Common Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Common Shares under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Common Shares may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Common Shares.

g. Legends. Such Investor understands that, until such time as the sale of the Common Shares has been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the stock certificates representing the Common Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

The Company has filed all of the SEC Documents with the SEC through EDGAR. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, 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 statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. For purposes of this Section 3(h), "Insolvent" means (i) the present fair saleable value of the Company's assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company's total indebtedness, contingent or otherwise, (ii) the Company is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) the Company has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

i. Fair Consideration. The Company, having been fully involved in developing the transactions contemplated hereby, and having been advised by the Company's financial and legal advisors, is satisfied that the negotiations between the Company and the Investors were conducted properly and were arm's length in nature and in good faith, and fair consideration for the Redemption Price, the Common Shares and the amendment to the Warrants was obtained. The Company has not entered into this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which either it or any of its subsidiaries was or is indebted.

j. Acknowledgment Regarding the Investor's Redemption and Exchange of Notes. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Investors is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that each Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any of the Investors or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to such Investor's purchase of the Common Shares. The Company further represents to each Investor that the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives and the representations and warranties made by each Investor in Section 2 hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither of the Investors is (i) an officer or director of the Company or (ii) assuming that neither Investor is the "beneficial owner" of any shares of Common Stock other than the Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants, (A) a "beneficial owner" of more than 10% of the Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) or (B) an "affiliate" of the Company (as defined in Rule 144(a) promulgated under the 1933 Act).

k. No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Common Shares.

l. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act or cause this offering of the Common Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market, nor will the Company or any of its Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require registration of any of the Common Shares under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Common Shares to be integrated with other offerings.

m. Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti- takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Common Shares and the Investors' ownership of the Common Shares.

n. Shareholders Rights Plan. As of the date hereof, the Company has not adopted a shareholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulation of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.

o. Material Nonpublic Information. Other than the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all of which shall be publicly disclosed in the 8-K Filing (as defined in Section 4(g)), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents have provided the Investors with any material, nonpublic information.

p. Warrant Share Registration. The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, as amended, were registered for resale with the SEC by the Company on a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Resale Registration Statement") in accordance with the First Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). Such Resale Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 21, 2000 and remains effective as of the date hereof.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

Any controversy, claim or dispute arising between the Company and an Indemnitee concerning the existence, scope or amount of any Indemnified Liability shall be determined by arbitration in the City of Chicago by one arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "Arbitration Rules"). Such arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and such Indemnitee in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. In the event the Company and such Indemnitee cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator within 30 days, the American Arbitration Association shall nomination three persons. Each of the Company and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to strike one of such three nominees on a peremptory basis within 10 days after its receipt of such list of nominees, indicating its order of preference with respect to the remaining nominees. If two such nominees have been stricken by the parties, the unstricken nominee shall be the arbitrator. Otherwise, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association from the remaining nominees in accordance with the parties' mutual order of preference, or by random selection in the absence of a mutual order of preference. The arbitrator shall base its award on applicable law and judicial precedent, shall include such award findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the award is based and shall not grant any remedy or relief that a court could not grant under applicable law. The arbitrator's award and findings shall be for purposes of this Section 7 only and shall not in any way limit or prejudice any other rights that the Company or such Indemnitee under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or under any applicable law.

8. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

a. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement 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. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Cook County, the City of Chicago, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

b. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

e. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant Amendment supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investors, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the First Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants, as amended by the Warrant Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any securities and the transactions contemplated thereby. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Investors which received a majority of the Common Shares received on the Closing Date or, if prior to the Closing Date, the Investors listed on the Schedule of Investors as being obligated to tender and exchange a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes proposed to be redeemed and exchanged at the Closing. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Common Shares or Warrants then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of the Common Shares as the case may be.

p. Mutual General Release.

i. In consideration of the releases set forth in Section 8(p)(ii), effective as of the Closing, each Investor, severally and not jointly, on behalf of itself and, to the extent permitted by law, its heirs, executors, administrators, devisees, trustees, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, consultants, representatives, predecessors, principals, agents, parents, associates, affiliates, subsidiaries, attorneys, accountants, successors, successors-in-interest and assignees (collectively, the "Investor Releasing Persons"), hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to Section 8(p)(iii) below, any and all claims, rights and causes of action, whether known or unknown (collectively, the "Investor Claims"), that any of the Investor Releasing Persons had, currently has or as of the Closing may have against (i) the Company, (ii) any of the Company's current or former parents, shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors or assigns, or (iii) any of the Company's or such other persons' or entities' current or former officers, directors, employees, agents, principals, investors, signatories, advisors, consultants, spouses, heirs, estates, executors, attorneys, auditors and associates and members of their immediate families (collectively, the "Company Released Persons"), including, without limitation, Investor Claims arising out of or relating to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the First Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Released Documents") other than Investor Claims arising after the Closing.

iv. It is the intention of each party that this Section 8(p) shall be effective as a final accord and satisfaction and release of each and every Investor Claim and Company Claim, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 8(p). In furtherance of this intention, each party acknowledges that it is familiar with Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT NOW KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Each party hereby waives and relinquishes every right or benefit which it may have under Section 1542 or the California Civil Code to the extent that it may lawfully waive such right or benefit pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and is a key element of the Agreement of which this release is a part.

We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation of the Redemption Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement (together the "Transaction Agreements") and the issuance of the Common Stock. As such counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In addition, we have examined, among other things, originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, including copies of stock certificates for the Common Shares, certificates of public officials and such other documents and questions of law that we consider necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents (except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" with reference to matters of fact means that, after an examination of documents made available to us by the Company, and after inquiries of officers of the Company, but without any further independent factual investigation, we find no reason to believe that the opinions expressed herein are factually incorrect. Further, the expression "to our knowledge" with reference to matters of fact refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have worked on matters for the Company. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein or as we otherwise believe to be necessary to our opinion, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that you have all requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all necessary corporate, partnership or individual action, to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements and we are assuming that the representations and warranties, as to factual matters, made by you in the Redemption Agreement and pursuant thereto are true and correct. For purposes of our opinion concerning the enforceability of provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement concerning redemption of the Registrable Securities, we are assuming that the Company will have sufficient funds necessary for redeeming such shares as required under the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL").

The opinions expressed below are subject to the following qualifications:

1. We express no opinion as to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar federal or state laws affecting the rights of creditors;
2. We express no opinion as to the effect or availability of rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless of whether any such remedy is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);
3. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the release and waiver provisions of Section 8(p) of the Redemption Agreement to the extent the provisions thereof may be subject to limitations of public policy and the effect of applicable statutes and judicial decisions;
4. We express no opinion as to compliance with applicable anti-fraud provisions of federal or state securities laws;
5. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of Section 7 of the Redemption Agreement and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement to the extent the provisions thereof may be subject to limitations of public policy and the effect of applicable statutes and judicial decisions;
6. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement purporting to impose fines to the extent that they constitute a penalty or are otherwise contrary to public policy;
7. With respect to our opinion in paragraph 1 below, insofar as it relates to the valid existence or good standing of the Company, Netergy Microelectronics, Inc. and Centile, Inc., we have relied solely upon certificates from government officials; and
8. We are members of the Bar of the State of California and we are not expressing any opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of California and the DGCL.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company and each of Netergy Microelectronics, Inc. and Centile, Inc. is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business, and to own, lease and operate its properties, as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001 (the "Annual Report").
2. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
3. Subject to the accuracy as to factual matters of the Investors' representations in Section 2 of the Redemption Agreement, the Common Shares may be issued to you pursuant to the Redemption Agreement without registration under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state.
4. The issuance and sale of the Common Shares has been duly authorized, and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Redemption Agreement, the Common Shares (a) will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (b) will be free of any preemptive rights under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or the DGCL. The certificates for the Common Shares are in due and proper form, have been duly executed under and conform to the requirements of the DGCL, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
5. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements and to issue the Common Shares in accordance with the terms thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Transaction Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Assuming that New York contract law is the same as California contract law, the Transaction Agreements constitute the valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and remedies.
6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Agreements, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof does not (a) 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) (i) the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (ii) any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound and which the Company has filed, including by incorporation by reference, as an exhibit to its Annual Report or any reports filed with the SEC under the 1934 Act after the filing of its Annual Report; or to our knowledge that the Company will be required to file as an exhibit to its future reports under the 1934 Act; or (b) to our knowledge result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation known to us to be applicable to the Company or, to the best of our knowledge, any order, writ, injunction or decree, if such violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.
7. No authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any Federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or stock exchange or market, or the stockholders of the Company (except to the extent that the Company may be required pursuant to the rules of the Nasdaq National Market to file a notice filing concerning the issuance of the Common Shares in order for the Common Shares to be designated for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market and to the extent that the Company may file a Form D pursuant to rules adopted under the 1933 Act and similar filings to comply with exemptions under state securities laws), or any court, or, to our knowledge, any third party, is required to be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements or for the issuance and sale of the Common Shares as contemplated by the Redemption Agreement.
8. To our knowledge, and except as disclosed in the Redemption Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body or any governmental agency or self-regulatory organization pending or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

This opinion is furnished to the Investors solely for their benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement only, and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
