Reporting Company's securities. All compensation, costs and expenses
of such parties, if engaged by the Reporting Company, will be borne by
it.
7. Affiliates.

order to better carry out the Transactions, Tiber Creek may assign the

consents of the Board of Directors and the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, as
required; causing all necessary documents to be properly and timely prepared,

complete the Transactions) TCC will be entitled to (i) retain the securities in
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx acquired or to be acquired by TCC or its affiliates under this
agreement as though the Transactions had occurred and (ii) receive in full all

9. Understandings
of the Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx as a Reporting Company.
9.1. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx understands the obligations and responsibilities that will arise in
regard to its becoming a Reporting Company and the trading of its securities in
the public market. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx understands that in order to
achieve the greatest market interest in its securities it, its officers and its
directors, all or some, will be required to continuously interact with the
financial community. This interaction will include, without
limitation, timely filing of reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including audited financial statements; annual reports to shareholders and
shareholder meetings; issuing periodic press releases; and meetings and
discussions with existing and prospective brokers, market makers, investment
bankers and institutions.
9.2. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx understands that the completion of the Transactions will not, in itself,
result in capital investment in the Reporting Company. The public
status of the Reporting Company and its introduction to market makers and others
in the financial community may result in investment
interest. However, investment interest will depend upon the success
of the Reporting Company, market conditions and other factors over which neither
TCC nor its affiliates have any control.
9.3. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx understands that the ultimate judgement of the financial community of
the investment merits of the Reporting Company will depend upon the Reporting
Company's ability to successfully carry out its business plans and operations,
to operate at a profit and similar business considerations. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx represents in good faith that it currently has no reason to believe that
it will not be able to complete the Transactions and to achieve its business
objectives.
9.4. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx understands that the first trading in the Reporting Company's securities
may be limited, and that to increase the amount, depth and market price of its
securities will require both time and effort by the Reporting Company to develop
relations with market makers and to create strong and stable trading of the
Reporting Company's securities.
10. Compliance
with Securities Law.
Under the
securities laws:

complete and accurate and not contain any material misstatement or omit any
material information.
10.2. The
Reporting Company must at all times observe and comply with Federal and state
securities laws, rules and regulations incident to the issuance and trading of
its securities and must take all steps reasonably required within its control to
prohibit any persons, whether or not affiliated with the Reporting Company, from
engaging in any transactions in contravention of such laws, rules and
regulations.
10.3. Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx and its affiliates must not at any time knowingly engage in any activity
which would constitute a prohibited market manipulation of the securities of the
Reporting Company and will need to take all steps reasonably required within its
control to prohibit any officer, director, other affiliate, agent or employee
from engaging in such conduct.
10.4. The
Reporting Company should not issue any securities to any person for the
promotion or maintenance of a trading market in the Reporting Company’s
securities without first receiving an opinion of qualified counsel that such
issuance will be in accord with securities laws, rules and regulations and
should not, directly or indirectly, receive from such persons any capital by
loan, investment or otherwise resulting from the sale or pledge of
such securities.
10.5. For
not less than 36 months following execution of this agreement, the Reporting
Company should timely make all required Federal, state and other filings
necessary to allow the public trading of the Reporting Company's securities and,
if the Reporting Company's securities are then quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market
or listed on any regional or national exchange, should take all actions
necessary to maintain such status for the Reporting Company's
securities.

Any
notices required or permitted under this agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been given when delivered by hand, certified mail (return
receipt requested) or commercial courier, such as FedEx, to the following

whether arising out of this agreement or from any other cause, will be resolved
by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association.
12.2. The
parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the American
Arbitration Association and the situs of the arbitration (and of any action for

Procedure, as they then exist, as may be modified by the arbitrator consistent
with the desire to simplify the conduct and minimize the expense of the
arbitration.
12.5. Regardless
of any practices of arbitration to the contrary, the arbitrator will apply the
rules of contract and other law of the jurisdiction whose law applies to the
arbitration so that the decision of the arbitrator will be, as much as possible,
the same as if the dispute had been determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
12.6. Any
award or decision by the American Arbitration Association shall be final,
binding and non-appealable except as to errors of law or the failure of the
arbitrator to adhere to the arbitration provisions contained in this
agreement. Each party to the arbitration shall pay its own costs and
counsel fees except as specifically provided otherwise in this
agreement.

writing by that party.
15.
