This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 30, 2008, is by and among Bay Peak 2 Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“BP2”), Touchstone Industry Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“TIGL”), and the Persons identified on Annex A hereto (together referred to herein as the “Shareholders”, each a “Shareholder”). Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex B hereto.
BACKGROUND
TIGL has 50,000 shares of capital stock (the “TIGL Stock”) issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of TIGL Stock set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Annex A hereto. Each Shareholder has agreed to transfer all of his, her or its (hereinafter “its”) shares of TIGL Stock in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value, of BP2 (the “BP2 Stock”) that will, in the aggregate, constitute 93.53% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BP2, on a fully diluted basis, as of and immediately after the Closing. The number of shares of BP2 Stock to be received by each Shareholder is listed opposite each such Shareholder's name on Annex A. The aggregate number of shares of BP2 Stock that is reflected on Annex A is referred to herein as the “Shares”.
The Board of Directors of each of BP2 and TIGL has determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Exchange of Shares
1.1.
Exchange by the Shareholders.
At the Closing, each Shareholder shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to BP2 its TIGL Stock free and clear of all Liens in exchange for the BP2 Stock listed on Annex A opposite such Shareholder's name.
1.2.
Closing.
The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) shall take place at the offices of Pillsbury Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP in San Francisco, CA commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (other than conditions with respect to actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).
1.3.
Section 368 Reorganization.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Transactions are intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The Parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations, and agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3T of the United States Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no Party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Transactions as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated prior to, on or after the Closing Date has or may have on any such reorganization status. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each (a) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the Transactions and this Agreement, and (b) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including without limitation, any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Shareholders
Each of the Shareholders hereby severally (and not jointly) represents and warrants to BP2 with respect to itself, as follows:.
2.1.
Good Title.
The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to its TIGL Stock, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such TIGL Stock. Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of BP2 as the new owner of such TIGL Stock in the share register of TIGL, BP2 will receive good title to such TIGL Stock, free and clear of all Liens.
2.2.
Organization.
Each Shareholder that is an entity is duly organized and validly existing in its jurisdiction of organization.
2.3.
Power and Authority.
Each Shareholder that is an entity has the legal power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Document to be delivered by it hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the Transactions. All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement, to deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof.
2.4.
No Conflicts.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require the consent of any third party or Governmental Entity under any Laws; (b) will not violate any Laws applicable to the Shareholder and (c) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Shareholder is a party.
-2-
2.5.
No Finder's Fee.
The Shareholder has not created any obligation for any finder's, investment banker's or broker's fee in connection with the Transactions.
2.6.
Purchase Entirely for Own Account.
The BP2 Stock proposed to be acquired by the Shareholder hereunder will be acquired for investment for its own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the BP2 Stock, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.
2.7.
Available Information.
The Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in BP2.
2.8.
Non-Registration.
The Shareholder understands that the BP2 Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder's representations as expressed herein. The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the BP2 Stock in accordance with BP2's charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
2.9.

The Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Shares are issued to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Shareholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
2.10.
Legends.
The Shareholder hereby agrees with BP2 that the BP2 Stock will bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
-3-
2.11.
Additional Legend; Consent.
Additionally, the BP2 Stock will bear any legend required by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended. The Shareholder consents to BP2 making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of BP2 Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer of the Shares.
2.12.
Accredited Investor.
The Shareholder is an “accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act and the Shareholder was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

3.5.
No Conflicts; Consents.
(a)
The execution and delivery by TIGL of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of TIGL or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the TIGL Constituent Instruments or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Contract to which TIGL or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.5(b), any material judgment, order or decree or material Law applicable to TIGL or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a TIGL Material Adverse Effect.

(a)
Each of TIGL and each of its subsidiaries has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a TIGL Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a TIGL Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of TIGL know of no basis for any such claim.
(b)
The TIGL Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by TIGL and its subsidiaries (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements.

Neither TIGL nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.
3.9.
Compliance with Applicable Laws.
TIGL and each of its subsidiaries have conducted their business and operations in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety and the environment, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a TIGL Material Adverse Effect. TIGL has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that TIGL is not in compliance in any material respect with any applicable Law. This Section 3.9 does not relate to matters with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 3.6.
3.10.
Brokers.
Except as set forth in the TIGL Disclosure Letter, no broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person is entitled to any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of TIGL or any of its subsidiaries.
3.11.
Contracts.
Except as disclosed in the TIGL Disclosure Letter, there are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of TIGL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither TIGL nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a TIGL Material Adverse Effect.
3.12.
Title to Properties.
Except as set forth in the TIGL Disclosure Letter, neither TIGL nor any of its subsidiaries own any real property. TIGL and each of its subsidiaries has sufficient title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which TIGL or any of its subsidiaries has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens other than those set forth in the TIGL Disclosure Letter and except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of TIGL and its subsidiaries to conduct business as currently conducted.
-7-
3.13.
Intellectual Property.
TIGL and each of its subsidiaries own, or are validly licensed or otherwise have the right to use, all Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of TIGL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The TIGL Disclosure Letter sets forth a description of all Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of TIGL and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of TIGL, threatened that TIGL or any of its subsidiaries is infringing or otherwise adversely affecting the rights of any person with regard to any Intellectual Property Right. To the knowledge of TIGL, no person is infringing the rights of TIGL or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any Intellectual Property Right.
3.14.
Labor Matters.
There are no collective bargaining or other labor union agreements to which TIGL or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound. No material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of TIGL, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of TIGL.
3.15.
Financial Statements.
TIGL has delivered to BP2 its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and its unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 (collectively, the “TIGL Financial Statements”). The TIGL Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The TIGL Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of TIGL, as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. TIGL does not have any material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2007, and (b) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the TIGL Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually and in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to result in a TIGL Material Adverse Effect.
3.16.
Insurance.
Except as set forth in the TIGL Disclosure Letter, TIGL and each of its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which TIGL and its subsidiaries are engaged and in the geographic areas where they engage in such businesses. TIGL has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its and its subsidiaries' existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with market for TIGL's and such subsidiaries' respective lines of business.
3.17.
Transactions with Affiliates and Employees.
Except as set forth in the TIGL Disclosure Letter and the TIGL Financial Statements, none of the officers or directors of TIGL and, to the knowledge of TIGL, none of the employees of TIGL is presently a party to any transaction with TIGL or any of its subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any Contract or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of TIGL, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
-8-
3.18.
Solvency.
Based on the financial condition of TIGL as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (a) TIGL's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of TIGL's existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (b) TIGL's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by TIGL, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (c) the current cash flow of TIGL, together with the proceeds TIGL would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. TIGL does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
3.19.

ARTICLE IV
Representations and Warranties of BP2
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the BP2 Disclosure Letter (regardless of whether or not the BP2 Disclosure Letter is referenced below with respect to any particular representation or warranty), BP2 represents and warrants as follows to the Shareholders and TIGL.
4.1.
Organization, Standing and Power.
BP2 is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has full corporate power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as presently conducted, other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on BP2, a material adverse effect on the ability of BP2 to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of BP2 to consummate the Transactions (a “BP2 Material Adverse Effect”). BP2 is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect. BP2 has delivered to TIGL true and complete copies of the BP2 Charter and the BP2 Bylaws.
4.2.
Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.
BP2 does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any person.
4.3.
Capital Structure.
The authorized capital stock of BP2 consists of 190,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $.001 par value. As of the date hereof (a) 6,993,788 shares of BP2's common stock are issued and outstanding, (b) no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding, and (c) no shares of BP2's common stock or preferred stock are held by BP2 in its treasury. Except as set forth in the BP2 Disclosure Letter, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of BP2 were issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of BP2 are, and all such shares that may be issued prior to the date hereof will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to or issued in violation of any purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right under any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the BP2 Charter, the BP2 Bylaws or any Contract to which BP2 is a party or otherwise bound. Except as set forth in the BP2 Disclosure Letter, there are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of BP2 having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of BP2's common stock may vote (“Voting BP2 Debt”). Except as set forth in the BP2 Disclosure Letter, as of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which BP2 is a party or by which it is bound (a) obligating BP2 to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, BP2 or any Voting BP2 Debt, (b) obligating BP2 to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (c) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of the capital stock of BP2. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of BP2 to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of BP2. Except as set forth in the XX0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX0 is not a party to any agreement granting any securityholder of BP2 the right to cause BP2 to register shares of the capital stock or other securities of BP2 held by such securityholder under the Securities Act. The stockholder list provided to TIGL is a current stockholder list generated by its stock transfer agent, and such list accurately reflects all of the issued and outstanding shares of the BP2's common stock.
-11-
4.4.
Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability.
The execution and delivery by BP2 of this Agreement and the consummation by BP2 of the Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of BP2 and the holders of a majority of its capital stock and no other corporate proceedings on the part of BP2 are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of BP2, enforceable against BP2 in accordance with the terms hereof.
4.5.
No Conflicts; Consents.
(a)
The execution and delivery by BP2 of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, contravene, conflict with or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any person under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of BP2 under, any provision of (i) the BP2 Charter or BP2 Bylaws, (ii) any material Contract to which BP2 is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 4.5(b), any material Order or material Law applicable to BP2 or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.
(b)
No Consent of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to BP2 in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, other than filings under state “blue sky” laws, as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.
-12-
4.6.
Undisclosed Liabilities.
BP2 has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be set forth on a balance sheet of BP2 or in the notes thereto. The BP2 Disclosure Letter sets forth all financial and contractual obligations and liabilities (including any obligations to issue capital stock or other securities of BP2) due after the date hereof. As of the date hereof, all liabilities of BP2 have been paid off and shall in no event remain liabilities of BP2, TIGL or the Shareholders following the Closing.
4.7.
Financial Statements.
BP2 has delivered to TIGL and Shareholders its unaudited consolidated financial statements for period ending August 31, 2008 (the “BP2 Financial Statements”). The BP2 Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of BP2, as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein. BP2 does not have any material liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, other than (a) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to August 31, 2008, and (b) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the BP2 Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually and in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to result in a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.
4.8.
Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

any material change to a material Contract by which BP2 or any of its assets is bound or subject;
(f)
any material change in any compensation arrangement or agreement with any employee, officer, director or stockholder;
(g)

-13-
(h)
any mortgage, pledge, transfer of a security interest in or lien created by BP2 with respect to any of its material properties or assets, except liens for taxes not yet due or payable and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and that do not materially impair BP2's ownership or use of such property or assets;
(i)
any loans or guarantees made by BP2 to or for the benefit of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their immediate families, other than travel advances and other advances made in the ordinary course of its business;

(a)
BP2 has timely filed, or has caused to be timely filed on its behalf, all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate, except to the extent any failure to file, any delinquency in filing or any inaccuracies in any filed Tax Returns, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise owed, have been timely paid, except to the extent that any failure to pay, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.
(b)
The BP2 Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by BP2 (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing differences between book and Tax items) for all Taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. No deficiency with respect to any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against BP2, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending, except to the extent any such deficiency or request for waiver, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.

4.12.
Litigation.
There is no Action against or affecting BP2 or any subsidiary or any of their respective properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of either of this Agreement or the Shares or (b) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.

4.13.
Compliance with Applicable Laws.
BP2 is in compliance with all applicable Laws, including those relating to occupational health and safety, the environment, export controls, trade sanctions and embargoes, except for instances of noncompliance that, individually and in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.

BP2 is not in violation of or in default under (nor does there exist any condition which upon the passage of time or the giving of notice would cause such a violation of or default under) any Contract to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a BP2 Material Adverse Effect.
4.16.
Title to Properties.
BP2 has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its properties and assets used in the conduct of its businesses. All such assets and properties, other than assets and properties in which BP2 has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that, in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of BP2 to conduct business as currently conducted. BP2 has complied in all material respects with the terms of all material leases to which it is a party and under which it is in occupancy, and all such leases are in full force and effect. BP2 enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

VTF was incorporated in Arizona on September 3, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Visitalk Capital Corporation (“VCC”). The Visitalk Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and deemed effective on September 17, 2004. The Final Decree closing the Xxxxxxxx.xxx Chapter 11 case was entered by the Bankruptcy Court on July 28, 2006 and is attached as Schedule 1 (the “Final Decree”). With the entry of the Final Decree, VTF has no liabilities of any kind related to any Xxxxxxxx.xxx claimants or shareholders. The Visitalk Plan further authorized VCC to distribute 846,147 of VTF's shares held by VCC to 201 creditors of Xxxxxxxx.xxx. In addition, the Visitalk Plan authorized the issuance of newly designated warrants to purchase shares of VTF common stock, in various ratios in accordance with the Visitalk Plan, to 330 creditors and claimants of Xxxxxxxx.xxx. The distribution of these securities under the Visitalk Plan was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as authorized by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. VTF changed the state of incorporation from Arizona to Nevada and adopted a change of name to Bay Peak 2 Acquisition Corp. effective October 1, 2008.

Severability.
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
