Sheet Date of (i) each director, officer, or other employee of Xxxxx, and (ii)
all sales agents, dealers, or distributors of Xxxxx. Since the Xxxxx Last
Balance Sheet Date, Xxxxx has not changed the rate of compensation of any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, dealers, or distributors.
9
(j) Patents, Trademarks, Et Cetera. Xxxxx does not own or have pending, or
is licensed under, any patent, patent application, trademark, trademark
application, trade name, service xxxx, copyright, franchise, or other intangible
property or asset (all of the foregoing being herein called "Intangibles"),
other than as described in Schedule K, all of which are in good standing and
uncontested. Schedule K accurately sets forth with respect to Intangibles owned
by Xxxxx, where appropriate, a statement of cost, book value and reserve for
depreciation of each item for tax purposes, and net book value of each item for
financial reporting purposes, and with respect to Intangibles licensed by Xxxxx
from or to a third party, a description of that license. Neither any director,
officer, or employee of Xxxxx, any relative or affiliate of any director,
officer, or employee, nor any other corporation or enterprise in which any
director, officer, of employee, or any relative or affiliate had or now has a
five (5%) percent or greater equity or voting or other substantial interest,
possesses any Intangible which relates to the business of Xxxxx.
There is no right under any Intangible necessary to the business of Xxxxx
as presently conducted or as it contemplates conducting, except those so
designated in Schedule X. Xxxxx has not infringed, is not infringing, and has
not received notice of infringement of asserted Intangibles of others. To the
knowledge of Xxxxx, there is no infringement by others of Intangibles of Xxxxx
except as set forth on Schedule K. As far as Xxxxx can foresee, there is no
Intangible of others which may materially adversely affect the financial
condition, results of operations, business, properties, assets, liabilities, or
future prospects of Xxxxx.
(k) Authority of Xxxxx. Xxxxx has all requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement. All necessary proceedings of Xxxxx
have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of
this Agreement by Xxxxx. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Xxxxx, is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Xxxxx, and is
enforceable as to it in accordance with its terms.
Other than filings to be made by Xxxxx pursuant to federal and state
securities law as a consequence of the terms of this Agreement, No consent,
authorization, approval, order, license, certificate, or permit of or from, or
declaration of filing with, any federal, state, local, or other governmental
authority or any court or other tribunal that will not have been received by
Closing will be required by Xxxxx for the execution, delivery, or performance of
this Agreement by Xxxxx. No consent of any party to any contract, agreement,
instrument, lease, license, arrangement, or understanding to which Xxxxx is a
party, or to which any of its properties or assets are subject and that will not
have been received by Closing will be required for the execution, delivery or
performance of this Agreement (except those consents referred to in Schedule N
as having been obtained at or prior to the date of this Agreement, true and
correct copies of which, initialed by the chief executive officer of Xxxxx, have
been delivered to LGA); and the execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement will not violate, result in a breach of, conflict with, or (with or
without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) entitle any party
to terminate or call a default under any contract, agreement, instrument, lease,
license, arrangement, or understanding, or violate or result in a breach of any
term of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Xxxxx, or violate, result in
a breach of, or conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or
decree binding on Xxxxx or to which any of its operations, business, properties,
or assets are subject. Upon the Closing, Shareholders will have good title to
all the exchanged common stock of Xxxxx, free and clear of all liens, security
interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, stockholders' agreements, and voting
trusts.
(l) Nondistributive Intent. Xxxxx is acquiring the shares of LGA common
stock for its own account (and not for the account of others) for investment and
not with a view to the distribution thereof. Xxxxx will not sell or otherwise
dispose of the shares (whether pursuant to a liquidating dividend or otherwise)
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom,
and the certificate or certificates representing the shares may contain a legend
to the foregoing effect. By virtue of its position, Xxxxx has access to the kind
of financial and other information about LGA as would be contained in a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Xxxxx understands
that it may not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares in the absence of either
a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption from
the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933.
10

Standard and Poors. A copy of such listing is attached as Schedule O hereto.
(n) Completeness of Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Xxxxx in
this Agreement contains, or on the date of Closing will contain, any untrue
statement of material fact or omits, or on the date of the Closing will omit, to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading under
the circumstances under which they were made, or will be made.
