Each of such outstanding shares of Golden Health Common Stock is validly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, has not been issued and is not owned or held in violation of any preemptive or similar right of stockholders and is owed by the owner set forth in Section A of the letter, of even date herewith, from Golden Health to Joy Power and the Joy Power Shareholders (the “Golden Health Disclosure Letter”), which letter shall be completed and delivered to Joy Power and the Joy Power Shareholders on or prior to October 15, 2005 (the “Due Diligence Date”) in each case free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, stockholders’ agreements, and voting trusts. Except as described in Section A of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter, there is no commitment, plan, or arrangement to issue, and no outstanding option, warrant, or other right calling for the issuance of, any share of capital stock of Golden Health or any security or other instrument convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for capital stock of Golden Health. Except as described in Section A of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter, there is outstanding no security or other instrument convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of Golden Health.

(iii) The operations and businesses of Golden Health have been conducted in all respects only in the ordinary course.
There is no fact known to Golden Health which materially adversely affects or in the future (as far as Golden Health can reasonably foresee) may materially adversely affect the financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of Golden Health; provided, however, that Golden Health expresses no opinion as to political or economic matters of general applicability. Golden Health has made known, or caused to be made known, to the accountants or auditors who have prepared, reviewed, or audited the aforementioned consolidated financial statements all material facts and circumstances which could affect the preparation, presentation, accuracy, or completeness thereof.
(d) Tax and Other Liabilities.

(i) Liabilities for which full provision has been made on the consolidated balance sheet and the notes thereto (the “Last Golden Health Balance Sheet”) as of March 31, 2003 (the “Last Golden Health Balance Sheet Date”) referred to in Section 2.03; and
(ii) Other liabilities arising since the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet Date and prior to Closing in the ordinary course of business (which shall not include liabilities to customers on account of defective products or services) which are not inconsistent with the representations and warranties of Golden Health or any other provision of this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the amounts set up as provisions for Taxes on the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet are sufficient for all known accrued and unpaid Taxes of Golden Health, whether or not due and payable and whether or not disputed, under tax laws, as in effect on the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet Date or now in effect, for the period ended on such date and for all fiscal periods prior thereto. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by Golden Health will not cause any Taxes to be payable other than by the Joy Power Shareholders or cause any lien, charge, or encumbrance to secure any Taxes to be created either immediately or upon the nonpayment of any Taxes other than on the properties or assets of the Joy Power Shareholders. Since the Bankruptcy Termination Date, a copy of the order (the
5
“Bankruptcy Termination Order”) relating to which has been, or on or prior to the Due Diligence Date will be, delivered to Joy Power and the Joy Power Shareholders, Golden Health has filed all federal, state, local, and foreign tax returns required to be filed by it; has delivered or, on or prior to the Due Diligence Date, will deliver to the Joy Power Shareholders a true and correct copy of each such returns which was filed since the Bankruptcy Termination Date; has paid (or has established on the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet a reserve for) all Taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges payable or remittable by it or levied upon it or its properties, assets, income, or franchises which are due and payable; and has delivered or, on or prior to the Due Diligence Date, will deliver to the Joy Power Shareholders a true and correct copy of any report as to adjustments received by it from any taxing authority since the Bankruptcy Termination Date and a statement as to any litigation, governmental or other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation pending, threatened, or in prospect with respect to any such report or the subject matter of such report.
(e) Litigation and Claims. Except as described in Section G of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter, there is no litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation pending, to the best of Golden Health’s knowledge, threatened, or in prospect (or any basis therefor known to Golden Health) with respect to Golden Health or any of its businesses, properties, or assets. Golden Health is not affected by any present or threatened strike or other labor disturbance nor to the knowledge of Golden Health, is any union attempting to represent any employee of Golden Health as collective bargaining agent. Golden Health is not in violation of, or in default with respect to, any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree which violation or default would have a material adverse effect on Golden Health; nor is Golden Health required to take any action in order to avoid such violation or default.
(f) Properties.
(i) Golden Health owns no real property. Golden Health has good title to all personal properties and assets material to Golden Health and used in its businesses or owned by it (except real and other properties and assets material to Golden Health as are held pursuant to leases or licenses described in Section B or C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter), free and clear of all liens, mortgages, security interests, pledges, charges, and encumbrances (except such as are listed in Section H of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter).

All such properties and assets (including Intangibles) owned by Golden Health are reflected on the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet (except for acquisitions subsequent to the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet Date and prior to the Closing Date, which are
6
either noted in Section B or C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter or are approved in writing by Joy Power). All tangible properties and assets owned by Golden Health or leased or licensed by Golden Health from or to a third party are in good and usable condition (reasonable wear and tear which is not such as to affect adversely the operation of the businesses of Golden Health excepted).
(iii) To the best of Golden Health’s knowledge, no real property leased or licensed by Golden Health from or to a third party lies in an area which is, or will be, subject to zoning, use, or building code restrictions which would prohibit, and, to the best of Golden Health’s knowledge, no state of facts relating to the actions or inaction of another person or entity or his or its ownership, leasing, or licensing of any real or personal property exists or will exist which would prevent, the continued effective ownership, leasing, or licensing of such real property in the businesses in which Golden Health is now engaged or the businesses in which it contemplates engaging.
(iv) The properties and assets (including Intangibles) owned by Golden Health (other than those leased or licensed by Golden Health to a third party) or leased or licensed by Golden Health from a third party constitute all such properties and assets which are necessary to the businesses of Golden Health as presently conducted.

Each such material supply, distribution, agency, financing, or other arrangement or understanding is a valid and continuing arrangement or understanding; neither Golden Health nor any other party to any such arrangement or understanding has given notice of termination or taken any action inconsistent with the continuance of such arrangement or understanding; and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not prejudice any such arrangement or understanding in any way. Golden Health enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all material leases and licenses under which it is operating. Golden Health is not party to or bound by any contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license, arrangement, or understanding, or subject to any charter or other restriction, which has had or (to the knowledge of Golden Health) may in the future have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of Golden Health. Golden Health has not engaged since the Bankruptcy Termination Date, is not engaging in, and does not intend to engage in any transaction with, and has not had, does not now have, and does not intend to have any material contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license, arrangement, or understanding with, any stockholder of Golden Health, any director, officer, or employee of Golden Health (except for employment agreements listed in Section D of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter and employment and compensation arrangements described in Section E of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter), any relative or affiliate of any stockholder of Golden Health or of any such director, officer, or employee, or any other corporation or enterprise in which any stockholder of Golden Health, any such director, officer, or employee, or any such relative or affiliate then had or now has a 5% or greater equity or voting or other substantial interest, other than those listed and so specified in Section D of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter.

8
Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), or has any obligation to or customary arrangement with employees for bonuses, incentive compensation, vacations, severance pay, sick pay, sick leave, insurance, service award, relocation, disability, tuition refund, or other benefits, whether oral or written, except as set forth in Section E of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter. Golden Health has furnished to Joy Power and the Joy Power Shareholders: (A) true and correct copies of all documents evidencing plans, obligations, or arrangements referred to in Section E of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter (or true and correct written summaries, so initialed, of such plans, obligations, or arrangements to the extent not evidenced by documents) and true and correct copies, so initialed, of all documents evidencing trusts, summary plan descriptions, and any other summaries or descriptions relating to any such plans; (B) the two most recent annual reports (Form 5500’s), if any, including all schedules thereto and the most recent annual and periodic accounting of related plan assets with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan; (C) the two most recent actuarial valuations with respect to each Pension Plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA; and (D) the most recent determination letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each Pension Plan.

For purposes hereof, “Accrued Benefits” shall include the value of disability, pre-retirement, death benefits, and all supplements, subsidized, ancillary, and optional forms of benefits. All Accrued Liabilities (for contributions or otherwise) (as defined in this Section 2.01(h)(ii)) of Golden Health as of the Closing Date to each Employee Benefit Plan and with respect to each obligation to, or customary arrangement with, employees for bonuses, incentive compensation, vacations, severance pay, sick pay, sick leave, insurance, service award, relocation, disability, tuition refund, or other benefits, whether oral or written, have been paid or accrued for all periods ending prior to the Closing Date and no payment to any Employee Benefit Plan or with respect to any such obligation or arrangement since the Last Golden Health Balance Sheet Date has been disproportionately large compared to prior payments. For purposes hereof, “Accrued Liabilities” shall include a pro rata contribution to each Employee Benefit Plan or with respect to each such obligation or arrangement for that portion of a plan year or other applicable period which commences prior to, and ends after, the Closing Date, and Accrued Liabilities for any portion of a plan year or other applicable period shall be determined by multiplying the liability for the entire such year or period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days preceding the Closing Date in such year or period and the denominator of which is the number of days in such year or period, as the case may be.
9
(iii) There has been no violation of the reporting and disclosure requirements imposed either under ERISA or the Code for which a penalty has been or may be imposed with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health. There has been no breach of fiduciary duty or responsibility with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health. No Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health or related trust has any liability of any nature, accrued or contingent, including without limitation liabilities for Taxes, other than for routine payments to be made in due course to participants and beneficiaries, except as set forth in Section E of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter. Golden Health does not have any formal plan or commitment, whether or not legally binding, to create any additional or modify any existing Employee Benefit Plan or benefit obligation or arrangement described in Section 2.01(h)(i)). Each Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health which is a group health plan within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code is and has been maintained in full compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 4980B of the Code. Other than the health care continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, Golden Health does not have any obligation to provide post-retirement medical benefits or life insurance coverage or any deferred compensation benefits to any present or former employees. There is no litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation pending, threatened, or (to the best of Golden Health’s knowledge) in prospect (or any basis therefor known to Golden Health) with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health or related trust or with respect to any fiduciary, administrator, or sponsor (in its capacity as such) of any Employee Benefit Plan. No Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health or related trust and no such obligation or arrangement is in violation of, or in default with respect to, any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, which violation or default would have a material adverse effect thereon or decree nor is Golden Health, any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health, or any related trust required to take any action in order to avoid any such violation or default. No event has occurred, or is (to the best of Golden Health’s knowledge) threatened or about to occur, which would constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA.
(iv) Each Pension Plan maintained for the employees of Golden Health has been qualified, from its inception, under Section 401(a) of the Code and any related trust has been an exempt trust for such period under Section 501 of the Code. Each Pension Plan has been operated in accordance with its terms. No Pension Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA has an accumulated or waived funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code. No investigation or review by the Internal Revenue Service is currently pending or (to the knowledge of Golden Health) is contemplated in which the Internal Revenue Service has asserted or may assert that any Pension Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or that any related trust is not exempt under Section 501 of the Code. Neither Golden Health, nor any organization to which Golden Health is a successor or parent corporation, within the meaning of Section 4069(b) of ERISA, has divested itself of any entity maintaining or with an obligation to contribute to any Pension Plan which had an “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities,” as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA, at the time of such divestiture. No assessment of any federal
10
taxes with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health has been made or (to the knowledge of Golden Health) is contemplated against Golden Health, or any related trust of any Pension Plan of Golden Health, and nothing has occurred which would result in the assessment of unrelated business taxable income under the Code with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan of Golden Health. Form 5500s have been timely filed with respect to all Pension Plans of Golden Health. No event has occurred or (to the knowledge of Golden Health) is threatened or about to occur which would constitute a reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA. No notice of termination has been filed by the plan administrator pursuant to Section 4041 of ERISA or issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pursuant to Section 4042 of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan of Golden Health.
(v) Golden Health does not currently contribute to and since September 16, 1980 has not effectuated either a complete or partial withdrawal from any multiemployer Pension Plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA.
(vi) Section E of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter contains a true and correct statement of the names, relationship with Golden Health, present rates of compensation (whether in the form of salary, bonuses, commissions, or other supplemental compensation now or hereafter payable), and aggregate compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 of (A) each director, officer, or other employee of Golden Health whose aggregate compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 exceeded US$25,000 or whose aggregate compensation presently exceeds the rate of US$25,000 per annum and (B) all sales agents, dealers, or distributors of Golden Health. Since December 31, 2002, Golden Health has not changed the rate of compensation of any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, dealers, or distributors, nor has any Employee Benefit Plan or program of Golden Health been instituted or amended to increase benefits thereunder. There is no contract, agreement, plan, arrangement, or understanding covering any person that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible by Golden Health by reason of Section 280G of the Code.
(i) Patents, Trademarks, Et Cetera. Golden Health does not own or have pending, and is not licensed or otherwise permitted to use, any material patent, patent application, trademark, trademark application, service xxxx, copyright, copyright application, franchise, trade secret, computer program (in object or source code or otherwise), or other intangible property or asset (collectively, “Intangibles”), other than as described in Section C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter. Each Intangible is validly issued and is currently in force and uncontested in all jurisdictions in which it is used or in which such use is contemplated. Section C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter contains a true and correct listing of: (i) all Intangibles which are owned (either in whole or in part), used by, or licensed to Golden Health or which otherwise relate to the businesses of Golden Health, and a description of each such Intangible which identifies its owner, registrant, or applicant; (ii) all contracts, agreements, instruments, leases, and licenses and identification of all parties thereto under which Golden Health owns or uses any
11
Intangible (whether or not under license from third parties), together with the identification of the owner, registrant, or applicant of each such Intangible; (iii) all contracts, agreements, instruments, leases, and licenses and identification of all parties thereto under which Golden Health grants the right to use any Intangible; (iv) all validity, infringement, right-to-use, or other opinions of counsel (whether in-house or outside) which concern the validity, infringement, or enforceability of any Intangible owned or controlled by a party other than Golden Health which relates to the businesses, properties, or assets of Golden Health. Except as specified in Section C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter, to the knowledge of Golden Health: (v) Golden Health is the sole and exclusive owner or licensee of, and (other than those exclusively licensed by Golden Health to a third party) has the right to use, all Intangibles; (vi) no Intangible is subject to any order, judgment, decree, contract, agreement, instrument, lease, or license restricting the scope of the use thereof; (vii) during the last five years, Golden Health has not been charged with, and has not charged others with, unfair competition, infringement of any Intangible, or wrongful use of confidential information, trade secrets, or secret processes; and (viii) Golden Health is not using any patentable invention, confidential information, trade secret, or secret process of others. There is no right under any Intangible necessary to the businesses of Golden Health as presently conducted or as it contemplates conducting, except such as are so designated in Section C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter. Except as described in Section C of the Golden Health Disclosure Letter, Golden Health has not infringed, is not infringing, and has not received notice of infringement in respect of the Intangibles or asserted Intangibles of others, nor has Golden Health been advised by counsel or others that it is infringing or may infringe the Intangibles or asserted Intangibles of others if any currently contemplated business activity is effectuated. To the knowledge of Golden Health, there is no infringement by others of Intangibles of Golden Health.
