the over-the-counter market and is duly organized, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the
Buyer and its Subsidiaries is duly authorized to conduct its business and
is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where such
qualification is required, except where the lack of such qualification
would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of
the Buyer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Each of the Buyer and
its Subsidiaries has full corporate power and authority to carry on the
businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned
and used by it.ss.5(a) of the Disclosure Schedule lists the directors and

authority (including full corporate power and authority) to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This
Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the

this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, will (i) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule,

Securities Exchange Act (collectively the "Public Reports"). Each of the
Public Reports has complied with the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act in all material respects. None of the Public Reports, as of
their respective dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. The Buyer has delivered to the Target a
correct and complete copy of each Public Report (together with all
exhibits and schedules thereto and as amended to date).

incorporated by reference into these Public Reports (including the
related notes and schedules) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and
present fairly the financial condition of the Buyer as of the indicated
dates and the results of operations of the Buyer for the indicated
periods.
(h) Events Subsequent to Most Recent Fiscal Quarter End. Since the
Most Recent Fiscal Quarter End, there has not been any material adverse
change in the business, financial condition, operations, results of
operations, or future prospects material adverse change in the financial
condition of the Buyer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except (i) to the extent disclosed
in the Public Reports and (ii) for liabilities and obligations incurred
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, the

is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Buyer or
would, or would be reasonably likely to, materially impair the ability of
the Buyer to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(k) Compliance with Laws. Except as disclosed to the contrary in
the Public Reports, the Buyer has complied with all laws, statutes,
regulations, rules, ordinances and judgments, decrees, orders, writs and
injunctions, of any court or governmental entity relating to any of the
property owned, leased or used by them, or applicable to their business,
including, but not limited to, equal employment opportunity,
discrimination, occupational safety and health, environmental, insurance,
regulatory, antitrust laws, ERISA and laws relating to taxes, except to
the extent that any such non-compliance would not have a material adverse
effect on the Buyer.
(l) No Default. The business of the Buyer is not being conducted
in default or violation of any term, condition or provision of (i) its
certificate of incorporation or bylaws or similar organizational
documents, or (ii) agreements to which the Buyer is a party, excluding
from the foregoing clause (iii) defaults or violations that would not

indirectly, taken any action designed to cause or to result in, or that
