Radial’s
knowledge, Xxxxxxx-Peru holds the Property free and clear of all
liens,
charges and claims of others;
|
(b) |
The
Property has been, or to the best of the knowledge of Radial has
been,

laws;
|
(d) |
Radial
has the right to transfer, convey, option and assign its interest
in the
Property and in the Underlying Agreements to Coach as contemplated

S.A. (“CCP”) execute and grant their consent to the assignment contained
herein as set forth in the AS CONFIRMATION section

Save
and except as noted in (d) above, Radial has the full right, authority
and
capacity to enter into this Agreement without first obtaining the
consent
of any other person or body corporate and the consummation of the
transaction herein contemplated will not conflict with or result
in any
breach of any covenants or agreements contained in, or constitute
a

to
which Radial is a party or to which it is subject;
and
|
(g) |
As
of today’s date, Radial is aware of no proceedings which are pending and
which could lead to the placing of Radial in bankruptcy or insolvency,

in any position similar to bankruptcy, such that any person could
claim an
interest in and to the Property from Coach notwithstanding that Coach
is
at arm’s length with Radial and is entering into this Agreement for good
and valuable consideration.
|
1.2 |
The
representations and warranties of Radial set out in Paragraph 1.1

will indemnify Coach from all loss, damage, costs, actions and suits
arising out of or in connection with any breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant, agreement or condition made by Radial and contained
in
this Agreement including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, against any and all loss, damage, costs, actions and suits
which may be brought as a result of any shareholder actions on the
part of
Radial’s shareholders. In lieu of any monetary indemnification, Coach may
claim from Radial indemnification in the form of repayment, sale
or
transfer to it of some or all of Radial’s other assets or may, at Coach’s
election, request repayment in equity securities of
Radial.
