indenture, license, lease, credit agreement or other agreement, document,
instrument, permit, authorization, or obligation (including, without limitation,
any of its charter documents) to which LIQUITEK is a party or by which it or any
of its assets or properties may be bound, or (ii) violate any judgment, order,

provided that all Liquitek Shares owned by Thermoflow Corporation shall be
surrendered and canceled upon the Closing hereunder and Thermoflow Corporation,

actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of LIQUITEK,
threatened against or affecting LIQUITEK affecting the Stockholders' rights in
the Liquitek Shares (including actions, suits or proceedings where liabilities

federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, court,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or affecting any
of the officers, directors of LIQUITEK or the Stockholders in connection with
the business, operations or affairs of either of them, which might reasonably be
expected to result in any material adverse change in the business, properties or
assets, or in the condition (financial or otherwise) of LIQUITEK, or which

statements of profit or loss for the periods then ended, and the respective
notes thereto. Such financial statements (and the notes related thereto) are

arising in the ordinary course of its business since the respective date of the
Liquitek Balance Sheets, LIQUITEK has no liability or obligation of a type
required by generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the
Liquitek Balance Sheets (whether accrued, to become due, contingent or
otherwise) which individually or in the aggregate could have a materially
adverse effect on the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of LIQUITEK. Except as set forth in Exhibit "I," since March 31, 2000,

authorizing or obligating LIQUITEK to do any of the foregoing, (b) no material
loss, destruction or damage to any material property or asset of LIQUITEK
whether or not insured, (c) no acquisition or disposition of assets (or any
contract or arrangement therefor), or any other transaction by LIQUITEK

liabilities shown on the Liquitek Balance Sheets, or current liabilities
incurred since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business, (e) no sale,
assignment or transfer by LIQUITEK of any of its tangible or intangible assets
except in the ordinary course of business, cancellation by LIQUITEK of any
debts, claims or obligations, or mortgage, pledge, subjection of any assets to

of any rights of value which, in any such case, is material to the business of
LIQUITEK, (f) no payment of any bonus to or change in the compensation of any

the carrying value of any asset which is material to the business of LIQUITEK,
(h) no disposition or lapse of rights as to any intangible property which is
material to the business of LIQUITEK, (i) except for ordinary travel advances,
no loans or extensions of credit to stockholders, officers, directors or
employees of LIQUITEK, (j) no agreement to do any of the things described in
this Section 3.6, and (k) no material adverse change in the condition (financial
or otherwise) of LIQUITEK or in its assets, liabilities, properties, business,
or prospects. Except as set forth in the Liquitek Financial Statements or in
Exhibit "I," there are no payments, liabilities, or obligations of any kind due
any of the Liquitek Stockholders or EET Corporation.
3.7 APPLICABLE PERMITS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. LIQUITEK (i) holds all
licenses, franchises, permits, and authorizations necessary for the lawful
conduct of its business as presently conducted and which the failure to so hold
would have a material adverse effect upon the business, properties, or assets,
or the condition (financial or otherwise) of LIQUITEK, and (ii) has complied
with all applicable statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of all
governmental bodies, agencies and subdivisions having, asserting or claiming
jurisdiction over it, which the failure to comply with would have a material
adverse effect upon the business, properties, or assets, or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of LIQUITEK.
3.8 DISCLOSURE. Neither this Agreement, nor any material certificate,
exhibit, or other written document or statement, furnished to VITRISEAL by or on
behalf of LIQUITEK or, to its knowledge, the Stockholders in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement contained or contains
Page 9
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material
fact necessary to be stated in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein, when taken as a whole, not misleading. Neither LIQUITEK nor, to its
knowledge, the Stockholders has any knowledge of any fact which has not been
disclosed in writing to VITRISEAL which may reasonably be expected to materially
and adversely affect the business, properties, or assets, or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of LIQUITEK or title of the Stockholders to the
Liquitek Shares or his ability to perform all of the obligations to be performed
by him under this Agreement and/or any other agreement between LIQUITEK, the
Stockholders, and VITRISEAL to be entered into pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement.
3.9 OWNERSHIP OF LIQUITEK. LIQUITEK issued each Stockholder that number
of Shares set forth opposite the Stockholders' respective names on Exhibit "A,"
which shares, as of the Closing Date, shall constitute issued and outstanding
shares of the capital stock of LIQUITEK. The Shares are duly authorized, validly
issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and were issued by LIQUITEK
in conformity with all applicable laws.
3.10 SUBSIDIARIES. LIQUITEK has no subsidiaries and no investments,
directly or indirectly, or other financial interest in any other corporation or
business organization, joint venture or partnership of any kind whatsoever
except as reflected in the Liquitek Financial Statements.
3.11 REAL PROPERTY. Exhibit "J," attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference, contains a complete and accurate legal description or
street address of each parcel of real property owned by, or leased to and
occupied or subleased by LIQUITEK, and LIQUITEK neither owns or leases, nor
occupies, any other real property. The building and all fixtures and
improvements located on such real property are in good operating condition,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. To the best of its knowledge, LIQUITEK is not
in violation of any material zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or
requirement, or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of owned or
leased properties, and LIQUITEK has not received any notice of violation with
which its has not complied. All leases of real property to which LIQUITEK is a
party and which are material to the business of LIQUITEK are fully effective in
accordance with their respective terms and afford LIQUITEK peaceful and
undisturbed possession of the subject matter of the lease, and, to the best
knowledge of LIQUITEK, there exists no default on the part of LIQUITEK or
termination thereof.
3.12 TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY. Exhibit "K" attached hereto sets forth
a complete list of all items of tangible personal property owned or leased and
used by LIQUITEK in the current conduct of its business, where the original cost
was in excess of $1,000. LIQUITEK has good and marketable title to, or in the
case of leased equipment a valid leasehold interest in, and is in possession of,
all such items of
Page 10
personal property owned or leased by it, free and clear of all title defects,
mortgages, pledges, security interests conditional sales agreements, liens,
restrictions or encumbrances, the presence of which would result in a material
adverse change in the business, properties, or assets, or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of LIQUITEK. Included in Exhibit "K" is a list of all
outstanding equipment leases and maintenance agreements to which LIQUITEK is a
party as lessee and which individually provide for future lease payments in
excess of $1,000 per month, with the identities of the other parties to all such
leases and agreements shown thereon. All leases of tangible personal property to
which LIQUITEK is a party and which are material to the business of LIQUITEK are
fully effective in accordance with their respective terms, and, to the best
knowledge of LIQUITEK, there exists no default on the part of LIQUITEK or
termination thereof, the presence of which would result in a material adverse
change in the business, properties, or assets, or the condition (financial or
otherwise) of LIQUITEK. Each item of capital equipment reflected in the Liquitek
Balance Sheets which is used in the current conduct of LIQUITEK's business is in
good operating and usable condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and is and will be suitable for use in the ordinary course of LIQUITEK's
business and fit for its intended purposes.
3.13 TAX MATTERS. LIQUITEK has, since its inception, duly filed all
material federal, state, municipal, local, and other tax returns required to
have been filed by it in those jurisdictions where the nature or conduct of its
business requires such filing and where the failure to so file would be
materially adverse to LIQUITEK. Copies of all such tax returns have been made
available for inspection by VITRISEAL prior to the execution hereof. All

1998, consisting of VITRISEAL's balance sheet as of such dates (the "VitriSeal
Balance Sheets"), the related statements of profit or loss for the periods then
ended, and the respective notes thereto. Such financial statements (and the
notes related thereto) are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the
"VITRISEAL Financial Statements." The VITRISEAL Financial Statements (i) are
derived from the books and records of VITRISEAL, which books and records have
been consistently maintained in a manner which reflects, and such books and
records do fairly and accurately reflect, the assets and liabilities of
VITRISEAL, (ii) fairly and accurately present the financial condition of
VITRISEAL on the date of such statements and the results of its operations for
the periods indicated, except as may be disclosed in the notes thereto, and

accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods
involved (except as otherwise disclosed in the notes thereto). Except as and to
the extent reflected or reserved against in the VitriSeal Balance Sheets, and as
to matters arising in the ordinary course of its business since the
Page 15
respective dates of the VitriSeal Balance Sheets, VITRISEAL has no liability or
obligation (whether accrued, to become due, contingent or otherwise) which
individually or in the aggregate could have a materially adverse effect on the
business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of VITRISEAL.
Except as set forth in Exhibit "R," since the dates of the respective VitriSeal
Balance Sheets, there has been (a) no declaration, setting aside or payment of
any dividend or other distribution with respect to the common stock of VITRISEAL
or redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any of the common stock of

do any of the foregoing, (b) no loss, destruction or damage to any material
property or asset of VITRISEAL, whether or not insured, (c) no acquisition or
disposition of assets (or any contract or arrangement therefor), or any other

liabilities incurred since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business,
(e) no sale, assignment or transfer by VITRISEAL of any of its tangible or
intangible assets except in the ordinary course of business, cancellation by

4.6 TAX MATTERS. VITRISEAL has, since its inception, accurately
prepared and duly filed all federal, state, county and local tax returns
required to have been filed by it in those jurisdictions where the nature or
conduct of its business requires such filing and where the failure to so file
would be materially adverse to VITRISEAL. Copies of all such tax returns have
been made available for inspection by LIQUITEK and the Stockholders prior to the
execution hereof. All federal, state, county and local taxes, including but not
limited to those taxes due with respect to VITRISEAL's properties, income, gross
receipts, excise, occupation, franchise, permit, licenses, sales, payroll, and
inventory due and payable as of the date of the Closing by VITRISEAL have been
paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. The amount

Page 16
due but not yet payable is sufficient for the payment of all accrued and unpaid
taxes of the types referred to hereinabove.
4.7 NO PENDING MATERIAL LITIGATION OR PROCEEDINGS. There are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of VITRISEAL,
threatened against or affecting VITRISEAL (including actions, suits or
proceedings where liabilities may be adequately covered by insurance) at law or
in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
department, commission, court, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign, or affecting any of the Stockholders, officers or directors
of VITRISEAL in connection with the business, operations or affairs of
VITRISEAL, which might result in any material adverse change in the business,
properties or assets, or in the condition (financial or otherwise) of VITRISEAL,
or which question or challenge the Reorganization. VITRISEAL is not subject to
any voluntary or involuntary proceeding under applicable bankruptcy laws and has
not made an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
4.8 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. VITRISEAL (i) holds all licenses, franchises,
permits and authorizations necessary for the lawful conduct of its business as
presently conducted and which the failure to so hold would have a material
adverse effect upon the business, properties, or assets, or the condition
(financial or otherwise) of VITRISEAL, and (ii) has complied with all applicable
statutes, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental bodies,
agencies and subdivisions having, asserting or claiming jurisdiction over it,
which the failure to comply with would have a material adverse effect upon the
business, properties, or assets, or the condition (financial or otherwise) of
VITRISEAL.
4.9 DISCLOSURE. Neither this Agreement, nor any certificate, exhibit,
or other written document or statement, furnished to LIQUITEK or the
Stockholders by or on behalf of VITRISEAL in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement contained or contains any untrue statement of a
