Subsidiaries' business as presently proposed to be conducted. Neither the
execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement or the
JPMICC Letter, nor the carrying on of the Company's or the Subsidiaries business

of the Company's and the Subsidiaries' business as presently proposed, will, to
the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any employee is now obligated. The Company
does not believe it is or will be necessary for the Company or the Operating

condition, affairs or prospects of the Company or the Subsidiaries, financially
or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or
the Subsidiaries, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for any of
the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or

employment of any of the Company's or the Subsidiaries' employees, their use in
connection with the Company's or the Subsidiaries' business of any information

and timely withheld all taxes required to be withheld in connection with the
business of any of them and such withheld taxes have been either duly and timely

the Company or any Subsidiary for all taxable periods or portions thereof
through the Closing. There has been no claim or issue (other than a claim or
issue that has been paid in full or for which adequate provision has been made
in the balance sheets contained in the Financial Statements) concerning any
liability for taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary asserted, raised or
threatened by any taxing authority and, to the knowledge of the Company, no
circumstances exist to form the basis for such a claim or issue. There are no
outstanding adjustments for income tax purposes applicable to the Company or any
Subsidiary required as a result of changes in methods of accounting effected on

have been made by the Company or any Subsidiary that are currently in force or

any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other
agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to
contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted
by the Company or a Subsidiary; and to the Company's knowledge the continued
employment by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries of their respective
present employees, and the performance of the Company's and each of the
Subsidiaries' contracts with their respective independent contractors, will not
result in any such violation. The Company has not received any notice alleging
that any such violation has occurred. No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary
has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or a
Subsidiary or to any material compensation following termination of employment
with the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company is not aware that any officer or

instruments, obligations, offers, commitments, arrangements and understandings,
written or oral to which either the Company or any Subsidiary is a party ("Other
Contracts") are legal, valid, binding, in full force and effect and enforceable
against each party thereto, except to the extent that any failure to be
enforceable, individually and in the aggregate, could not have or result in a
material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially impair the ability of the
Company to perform its respective obligations hereunder and under the Investor
Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter. There does not exist under any Contract

or condition that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
violation, breach or event of default thereunder, on the part of the Company or
any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person, that would
have or result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations or
prospects of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or materially
impair the ability of the Company to perform its respective obligations
hereunder and under the Investor Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter. The
enforceability of no Contract will be affected in any manner by the execution,

amounts, as the insurance customarily carried by comparable companies of
established reputation similarly situated and carrying on the same or similar
business.

of its securities that may hereafter be issued.
3.20 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; PERMITS. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or

Company believes it or each Subsidiary can obtain, without undue burden or
expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be
conducted. All Approvals have been duly obtained and are held by the Company or
a Subsidiary, and are in full force and effect. The Company and each Subsidiary
is in compliance with all Approvals held by it. There is no claim, litigation or
action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, that could
result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or modification or nonrenewal
of any such Approval; none of the Company or any Subsidiary has been notified
that any such Approval will be modified, suspended or cancelled; and there is no
reasonable basis for any such revocation, cancellation, suspension, modification
or nonrenewal. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Investor Rights Agreement and the JPMICC Letter and the consummation of the
12.
