D. The Board of Directors of each of Kranem and Xalted has determined that it is desirable to effect this acquisition.

ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder
The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Kranem as follows.
2.1. Good Title. The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to its Xalted Stock, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Xalted Stock. Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of Kranem as the new owner of such Xalted Stock in the share register of Xalted, Kranem will receive good title to such Xalted Stock, free and clear of all Liens.
2.2. Power and Authority. The Shareholder has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement 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.
2.3. 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.
2.4. Litigation. There is no pending proceeding against the Shareholder that involves the Xalted Stock or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the Transactions and, to the knowledge of the Shareholder, no such proceeding has been threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such proceeding.
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 that are not payable entirely by the Shareholder.
2.6. Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

2.7. Available Information.

2.8. Non-Registration. The Shareholder understands that the Kranem 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.

-2-
2.9. Restricted Securities. The Shareholder understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The issuance of the Shares hereunder is being effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. 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. Accredited Investor. The Shareholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
2.11. Legends. It is understood that the Kranem 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 “SECURITIES 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. |
2.12. Additional Legend. Additionally, the Kranem 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.
2.13. Disclosure.

ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of Xalted
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter (regardless of whether or not the Xalted Disclosure Letter is referenced below with respect to any particular representation or warranty), Xalted represents and warrants to Kranem and the Shareholder as follows.
3.1. Organization, Standing and Power. Xalted and each of its subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has the 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 Xalted and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, a material adverse effect on the ability of Xalted to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of Xalted to consummate the Transactions (a “Xalted Material Adverse Effect”). Xalted and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Xalted Material Adverse Effect. Xalted has delivered to Kranem true and complete copies of the Xalted Constituent Instruments, and the comparable charter, organizational documents and other constituent instruments of each of its subsidiaries, in each case as amended through the date of this Agreement.
3.2. Subsidiaries; Equity Interests.
(a) The Xalted Disclosure Letter lists each subsidiary of Xalted and its jurisdiction of organization. All the outstanding shares of capital stock or equity investments of each subsidiary have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are as of the date of this Agreement owned by Xalted or by another subsidiary of Xalted, free and clear of all Liens.

Xalted is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of its subsidiaries. All outstanding shares of the capital stock of Xalted and each of its subsidiaries are 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 any applicable corporate laws, the Xalted Constituent Instruments or any Contract to which Xalted is a party or otherwise bound. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, there are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Xalted or any of its subsidiaries having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of Xalted Stock or the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries may vote (“Voting Xalted Debt”). Except as set forth in the Xalted 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 Xalted or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound (a) obligating Xalted or any of its subsidiaries 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, Xalted or any of its subsidiaries or any Voting Xalted Debt, (b) obligating Xalted or any of its subsidiaries 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 Xalted or of any of its subsidiaries.

The execution and delivery by Xalted of this Agreement and the consummation by Xalted of the Transactions have been duly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of Xalted and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Xalted are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Transactions. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will be enforceable against Xalted in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by laws affecting creditor’s rights generally).
3.5. No Conflicts; Consents.
(a) Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery by Xalted 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 Xalted or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the Xalted Constituent Instruments or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any Contract to which Xalted or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their respective properties or assets is subject 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 Xalted 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 Xalted Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Except for required filings with the SEC and applicable “Blue Sky” or state securities commissions, 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 Xalted or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.
3.6. Taxes.
(a) Xalted 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 Xalted 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 Xalted 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 Xalted know of no basis for any such claim.
-5-
(b) The Xalted Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes payable by Xalted 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. No deficiency with respect to any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against Xalted or any of its subsidiaries, 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 Xalted Material Adverse Effect.
3.7. Benefit Plans.
(a) Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, neither Xalted nor any of its subsidiaries maintains any collective bargaining agreement or any bonus, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option, phantom stock, retirement, vacation, severance, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, medical or other plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not legally binding) providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of Xalted or any of its subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, as of the date of this Agreement there are not any severance or termination agreements or arrangements between Xalted or any of its subsidiaries and any current or former employee, officer or director of Xalted or any of its subsidiaries, nor does Xalted or any of its subsidiaries have any general severance plan or policy.
(b) Since the date of the Xalted Financial Statements, there has not been any adoption or amendment in any material respect by Xalted or any of its subsidiaries of any plan described in Section 3.7(a) .
3.8. Litigation. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, there is no Action against or affecting Xalted or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties which (a) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any 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 Xalted Material Adverse Effect. Neither Xalted nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or its 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. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, Xalted 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 or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Xalted Material Adverse Effect. Xalted has not received any written communication during the past two years from a Governmental Entity that alleges that Xalted 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 Xalted 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 Xalted or any of its subsidiaries.
3.11. Contracts. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, there are no Contracts that are material to the business, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of Xalted and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither Xalted 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 to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject, except for violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Xalted Material Adverse Effect.
-6-
3.12. Title to Properties. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter, neither Xalted nor any of its subsidiaries own any real property. Xalted 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 Xalted or any of its subsidiaries has leasehold interests, are free and clear of all Liens other than those set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter and except for Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, do not and will not materially interfere with the ability of Xalted and its subsidiaries to conduct business as currently conducted.
3.13. Intellectual Property. Xalted 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 Xalted and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Xalted Disclosure Letter sets forth a description of all Intellectual Property Rights which are material to the conduct of the business of Xalted and its subsidiaries. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of Xalted, threatened that Xalted 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 Xalted, no person is infringing the rights of Xalted 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 Xalted 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 Xalted, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of Xalted.
3.15. Financial Statements; Liabilities. Xalted has delivered to Kranem audited consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries of Xalted for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and pro forma financial statements of Xalted (collectively, the “Xalted Financial Statements”). The Xalted Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Xalted Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and operating results of Xalted, as of the dates, and for the periods, set forth therein. Xalted 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, 2010, 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 Xalted Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate, are not material and would not be reasonably expected to result in a Xalted Material Adverse Effect.
3.16. Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the Xalted Disclosure Letter and the Xalted Financial Statements, none of the officers or directors of Xalted and, to the knowledge of Xalted, none of the employees of Xalted is presently a party to any transaction with Xalted 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 Xalted, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
3.17. Internal Accounting Controls. Xalted and its consolidated subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Xalted has established disclosure controls and procedures for its company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Xalted and its subsidiaries are made known to the officers by others within those entities. The officers of Xalted have evaluated the effectiveness of Xalted’s controls and procedures. Since December 31, 2010, there have been no significant changes in Xalted’s internal controls or, to Xalted’s best knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect Xalted’s internal controls.
-7-
3.18. Solvency. Based on the financial condition of Xalted as of the Closing Date (and assuming that the Closing shall have occurred): (a) Xalted’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of Xalted’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (b) Xalted’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 Xalted, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (c) the current cash flow of Xalted, together with the proceeds Xalted 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. Xalted 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).

Kranem 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 an Kranem Material Adverse Effect. Kranem has delivered to Xalted or its counsel true and complete copies of the Kranem Charter and the Kranem Bylaws.
