survive the Closing, that:
4.1 Authority. The Shareholders have full power and authority to execute
---------
and perform this Agreement and to exchange the shares of stock of OWE upon the
terms provided in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
has been duly authorized by the Shareholders. Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement nor the performance, observation or compliance with
its terms and provisions will violate any provision of law, any order of court
or other governmental agency, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to
which any Shareholder is a party, or by which such Shareholder or such
Shareholder's property is bound. No consent to the performance, observation or
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by the Shareholders
is required from any third party.
4.2 Stock Ownership. All of the issued and outstanding stock of OWE is
---------------
directly owned by the Shareholders, as indicated herein, free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, security
9
interests, charges, pledges, options, restrictions on transfer, rights of
refusal or other adverse claims of any kind. No person owns or has any
beneficial interest in any stock except the Shareholders. The Shareholders have
good and marketable title to the shares of stock of OWE being transferred. The
Shareholders have not transferred or assigned, or entered into any agreement or
understanding to transfer or assign, any of the stock of OWE or any of the
voting rights pertaining to such shares except as described herein.
4.3 Investment Representations. (a) The Shareholders have received such
--------------------------
material information as has been requested for purposes of becoming fully
familiar with the financial condition of OWE and the expected condition of the
Holding Company, the administration of their business affairs, and their
prospects for future business.
(b) The Shareholders are fully aware and have been advised that the
securities received pursuant to this Agreement are speculative in nature and
that neither OWE nor the Holding Company make any assurance whatever concerning
the present or prospective value of the securities.
(c) The Shareholders understand that, with the exception of the
1,882,200 Common Shares which will be registered pursuant to the 1933 Act, the
Common Shares, the Class B Common Shares and the Preferred Shares to be received
by the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the
1933 Act, on the ground that the securities are being issued and sold in a
transaction not involving any public offering and that, consequently, the
transaction is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act by virtue of the
provisions of Section 4(2) thereof; nor are the securities to be registered
under the securities laws of any state on the ground that the transaction is
exempt, or registration of securities is not required.
(d) The Shareholders understand that the issuance of the Holding
Company stock has not been qualified with the Commissioner of Corporations of
the State of California and the issuance of such securities, or the payment or
receipt of any part of the consideration therefor, prior to such qualification
is unlawful, unless the sale of securities is exempt from qualification by
(S)(S) 25200, 25102 or 25105 of the California Corporation Code and that the
rights of all parties to this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon such
qualification being obtained, unless the issuance is so exempt.
(e) The Shareholders understand that the reliance of OWE and the
Holding Company upon the above exemptions is predicated in part on the
representation of the Shareholders that such unregistered securities are being
acquired for the account of the Shareholders with no present intention of
reselling or otherwise distributing the same.
(f) The Shareholders understand that they will not be able to dispose
of any shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement, except such shares as are
registered as described in Article I, or any interest therein unless and until
such shares or interests have been registered under the 1933 Act and applicable
state securities laws or the disposition is exempt from registration or
qualification under applicable securities laws and, if requested by the Holding
Company, the Holding Company
10
has received an opinion from counsel satisfactory to it that registration or
qualification is not required in connection with such disposition. The
Shareholders understand that the Holding Company will prohibit transfers of the
shares which are not registered as described in Article I in the absence of
registration or the mentioned exemptions and a restrictive legend will be placed
on the Class B Common Shares, the Preferred Shares and on the Common Shares
received by the Shareholders which are not registered as described in Article I
reflecting these restrictions.
