    2.8  Legal Proceedings.  There is no lawsuit or other legal proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, being threatened against Seller as of the date of this Agreement that involves the Specified Assets and would reasonably be expected to result in a judgment having a material adverse effect on the value of the Specified Assets taken as a whole.

Each material subsidiary of Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized, except where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on in the business, assets (tangible or intangible), liabilities or operations of Purchaser and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Purchaser Corporations.")

    3.2  Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of Purchaser consists of 200,000,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

    3.5  No Undisclosed Liabilities.  None of the Purchaser Corporations has any material accrued, contingent or other liabilities of any nature, except for (i) liabilities reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of the Purchaser Corporations as of June 30, 2001, contained in Purchaser's Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and (ii) liabilities incurred by the Purchaser Corporations in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2001.

    3.6  No Infringement.  Each of the Purchaser Corporations possesses all intellectual property rights required to conduct its business as now conducted, except to the extent the failure to possess such rights would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets (tangible or intangible), liabilities or operations of the Purchaser Corporations. None of the Purchaser Corporations has received any notice of, or has any knowledge of, any asserted infringement of third party intellectual property rights. No event has occurred which, to Purchaser's knowledge, permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any of the intellectual property rights of any of the Purchaser Corporations.

    3.7  Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Each of the Purchaser Corporations is in substantial compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

    3.8  Legal Proceedings.  Except as disclosed in the Purchaser SEC Documents filed with the SEC before the date of this Agreement, there is no material pending or, to Purchaser's knowledge, threatened lawsuit or other legal proceeding that involves any of the Purchaser Corporations or any of the assets owned or used by any of the Purchaser Corporations.

    3.9  Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement.  Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Assumption Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and to perform its obligations hereunder (including its obligations relating to the issuance and delivery of the Initial Shares and any Subsequent Shares) and thereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement, the Assumption Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser and its board of directors.

This Agreement constitutes, and, upon execution thereof, each of the Assumption Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,

9


insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

The Purchaser Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and is listed on The Nasdaq National Market, and Purchaser has taken no action that may have the effect of terminating the registration of the Purchaser Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Purchaser Common Stock from The Nasdaq National Market.

    3.12  Full Disclosure.  None of this Agreement, the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, the certificate to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(i), the Assumption Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (i) contains or will contain any untrue statement of fact or (ii) omits or will omit to state any fact necessary to make any of the representations, warranties or other statements or information contained herein or therein not misleading.

If Seller requests Purchaser's approval of a proposed action that would result in a breach by Seller of this Section 4.2, Purchaser will respond promptly to Seller's request and will not unreasonably withhold its approval of the proposed action. All references in this Section 4.2 to the "Available Employees" will be deemed to refer instead only to the "Specified Employees" at such time as the Specified Employees are identified by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5.

    4.3  HSR Filing.  As promptly as possible after the date of this Agreement, Seller will file the notification form required to be filed on behalf of Seller under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will request early termination of the applicable waiting period.

    5.2  HSR Filing.  As promptly as possible after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser will file the notification form required to be filed on behalf of Purchaser under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will request early termination of the applicable waiting period.

actions reasonably necessary to ensure that Purchaser is eligible to use SEC Form S-3 (under general instruction I.A to SEC Form S-3) from and after the Closing.

    5.4  Consents; Releases.  Purchaser will cooperate with Seller, and will provide Seller with such assistance as Seller may reasonably request, for the purpose of (i) attempting to obtain the Consents identified in Part 2.10 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (ii) arranging for Seller to be released and discharged from its obligations and other liabilities under the Specified Contracts.

    5.5  Employment Matters.  Within fourteen days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser will provide to Seller a list identifying at least 105 of the Available Employees (the employees identified on such list being referred to in this Agreement as the "Specified Employees"), it being understood that at least 105 of the Specified Employees must be based at the Boulder Facility. Prior to the Closing, on a date mutually agreed by the Parties, Purchaser will extend to each Specified Employee an individualized written offer of employment that, if accepted, would contemplate that such Specified Employee would commence his or her employment with Purchaser on the later of January 1, 2002 or the day after the Closing Date and would provide such Specified Employee with compensation, benefits and terms of employment (including terms relating to job responsibilities) that in the aggregate are substantially as favorable to such Specified Employee as the compensation, benefits and terms of employment provided by Seller to such Specified Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Each such written offer of employment will include the terms set forth in Sections 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2 and 4 of the Employee Matters Agreement to the extent such terms relate to the Specified Employee to whom such offer is extended. The offers made to the Specified Employees who are based at the Boulder Facility will specify a job location at the Boulder Facility. On the later of January 1, 2002 or the day after the Closing Date, Purchaser will hire each Specified Employee who accepts the written offer of employment extended to such Specified Employee by Purchaser (it being understood that, except as otherwise provided in any individual employment agreement between Purchaser and a Specified Employee, Purchaser will not be obligated to maintain the employment of or the compensation or employee benefits provided to such Specified Employee for any specified period thereafter).

    5.6  Nasdaq Listing.  Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Initial Shares are listed and available for quotation on The Nasdaq National Market as of the Closing Date.

    5.7  Conditions.  Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7 to be satisfied on a timely basis and (ii) otherwise to cause the Closing to take place as soon as reasonably practicable.

6.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER'S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE.
