indicating intent to open an audit or other review, (ii) request for information
related to Tax matters, or (iii) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment of
or any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or assessed by any Governmental Body
against X-CHANGE. No proceedings are pending or being conducted with respect to
any Tax matter and no power of attorney (other than powers of attorney
authorizing employees of X-CHANGE to act on behalf of X-CHANGE) with respect to
any Taxes of X-CHANGE has been filed or executed with any Governmental Body.
There are no matters under discussion with any Governmental Body, or known to
X-CHANGE with respect to Taxes that are likely to result in an additional
liability for Taxes with respect to X-CHANGE. X-CHANGE has not waived any
statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time
with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency nor has any request been made in
writing for any such extension or waiver.
(f) All material elections with respect to Taxes affecting X-CHANGE as of
the date hereof, are set forth on section 2.6 (f) of the Disclosure Schedule.

agreement (including indemnity agreements other than employee tax equalization
agreements).

parent of which is X-CHANGE) for federal, state, local or foreign Tax purposes.

local, or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

transaction" for purposes of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.6011-4(b)(2) or

result in a substantial understatement of federal income tax within the meaning
of Section 6662 of the Code if the treatment claimed by X-CHANGE were disallowed
and (ii) for which there is no substantial authority for X-CHANGE's tax
treatment of such transaction or for which X-CHANGE has not disclosed on its Tax
Return the relevant facts affecting the tax treatment of such transaction.
(k) X-CHANGE has not taken any action, nor has no knowledge of any fact or
circumstance, that could reasonably be expected to prevent the transactions

This Agreement, the attached exhibits, including the Disclosure Schedules of the

Section 7.6 GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. All questions concerning
the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Missouri without giving effect to any conflict of law provision or rule
(whether in the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Texas will
control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under
such jurisdiction's conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.
BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE
MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND
THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE
PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.
Section 7.7 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Any legal action or proceeding with
respect to this Agreement or the Exchange Transaction may be brought in the
courts of the State of Missouri and the United States of America located in the
State of Missouri and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, X-CHANGE,
Surrey and the Surrey Shareholder hereby accepts for itself and in respect of
its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts.
Section 7.8 HEADINGS. Article and section headings used in this Agreement
are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of
this Agreement.
Section 7.9 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY RIGHTS. The representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement are for the
sole benefit of the parties hereto, and all parties expressly disclaim any and
all third party benefits or the intention to create any third party benefits
under this Agreement.

herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this

Section 7.11 SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such
23
invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable
the remaining provisions.
Section 7.12 MULTIPLe COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto may execute any such
counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one
and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more
counterparts taken together shall have been executed and delivered by all of the
parties hereto. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts or by
facsimile signature, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as
if all signatures were on the same instrument and were original signatures.
