As a material inducement to the Exchanging Corporation to enter
into this Agreement, each of the shareholders of the Exchanged
Corporation, jointly and severally, hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Exchanging
Corporation as follows:
5.1 The Exchanged Corporation is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Oregon. The Exchanged Corporation does not own,
directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether
equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, business, trust,
or other entity. The Exchanged Corporation has full corporate
power and authority and all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents, and approvals required to carry on the
business it now conducts and to own the assets and properties it
now owns. Neither the ownership of its properties nor the nature
of its business requires the Exchanged Corporation to be
qualified in any jurisdiction other than the state of its
incorporation.
5.2 The authorized capital stock of the Exchanged Corporation
consists of 200 shares of common stock, of which 200 shares are
outstanding. The outstanding shares of the Exchanged Corporation
(the "Exchanged Shares") are duly authorized and validly issued
and are fully paid, nonassessable, and without par value. The
Exchanged Corporation has not authorized or issued, or committed
to issue (a) any capital stock or other securities not set forth
in this Section 5.2 or (b) any options, warrants, or other rights
to acquire or convert any obligations into, any shares of capital
stock or other securities of the Exchanged Corporation.
Page 3 STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
5.3
The shareholders of the Exchanged Corporation
identified on Exhibit A have, and on the Closing Date shall have,
good and marketable title to the Exchanged Shares in the amounts
set forth opposite their names, free and clear of liens, claims,
encumbrances, restrictions, options, and security interests of
any kind (collectively, "Liens").
5.4 The Exchanged Corporation and each of the shareholders of
the Exchanged Corporation has full right, power, and authority,
without the consent or authorization of any third party (other
than those identified on Schedule 5.4), to execute, deliver, and
perform its obligations under this Agreement, which constitutes
its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except that (a) such enforcement may
be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors' rights and (b) injunctive and other forms of equitable
relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding may be brought. Neither
the Exchanged Corporation nor its agents or representatives have
engaged any broker or finder in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
5.5 All taxes, licensing fees, and other governmental fees,
assessments, and charges pertaining to the ownership and
operation of the assets and properties of the Exchanged
Corporation have been paid in full. The assets and properties of
the Exchanged Corporation have been owned and operated in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations, ordinances, and governmental authorizations
and permits. There is no action, suit, inquiry, proceeding, or
investigation by or before any court or governmental or other
regulatory or administrative agency or commission pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Exchanged Corporation, threatened,
against or involving or arising in connection with the Exchanged
Corporation or their assets or properties, other than those that
are reasonably expected by the Exchanged Corporation to be
resolved without a material adverse effect on the Exchanged
Corporation. The shareholders of the Exchanged Corporation are
not aware of any facts which would form the basis for any
material claim against the Exchanged Corporation.
5.6 There are no contracts, agreements, leases, or other
commitments relating to the ownership and operation of the assets
and properties of the Exchanged Corporation other than those
identified on Schedule 5.6 (the "Contracts"). Except to the
extent described on Schedule 5.6, the Contracts are freely
assignable to the Exchanging Corporation. The Exchanged
Corporation has previously provided the Exchanging Corporation
with true and correct copies of the Contracts, all of which are
unamended and in full force and effect and none of which is in
default by either party. The execution, delivery, and
performance by the Exchanged Corporation of this Agreement does
not (a) conflict with, result in a breach of violation of, or
constitute a default under, the Contracts, (b) constitute a
violation of any judgment, order, or decree applicable to the
Exchanged Corporation or any of their assets or properties, or
(c) result in the creation of any Lien on any of its assets or
properties.
5.7 The Exchanged Corporation has not received written
notification from any governmental authority stating that any
real property owned or leased by the Exchanged Corporation or the
Subsidiary (the "Real Property") or any part thereof is
(a) targeted for clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Substances
(hereinafter defined) or (b) not otherwise in
Page 4 STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws (hereinafter
defined). To the best knowledge of the Exchanged Corporation,
there are no Hazardous Substances on, in, or under the Real
Property or any part thereof which are in violation of applicable
Environmental Laws, and there are no underground storage tanks on
or under the Real Property. The Exchanged Corporation has not
used the Real Property to store or dispose of any Hazardous
Substances. The Exchanged Corporation, and, to the best
knowledge of the Exchanged Corporation, all previous owners and
operators of the Real Property, have owned and operated the Real
Property in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
The term "Hazardous Substance" means any substance or material
defined or designated as hazardous or toxic (or by any similar
term) under any Environmental Law, including petroleum products
and friable materials containing more than one percent (1%)
asbestos by weight. The term "Environmental Law" means any
federal, state, or local law, ordinance, rule, or regulation
relating to pollution or protection of the environment or actual
or threatened releases, discharges, or emissions, into the
environment, including the so-called Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act; the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act; Federal Water Pollution Control Act; Clean Air Act; and all
comparable state statutes.
5.8 The financial information provided by the shareholders of
the Exchanged Corporation and the Exchanged Corporation relating
to the assets, properties, and business of the Exchanged
Corporation is true and complete. The Exchanged Corporation has
no indebtedness outstanding other than trade payables incurred in
the ordinary course of business. There are no attachments,
executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, or
proceedings in bankruptcy, or under any other debtor relief laws
contemplated by or pending or, to the best knowledge of the
shareholders of the Exchanged Corporation, threatened against the
shareholders of the Exchanged Corporation, the Exchanged
Corporation, or the assets, properties, or business of the
Exchanged Corporation. Except as and to the extent reflected or
reserved against in the latest balance sheet for the Exchanged
Corporation provided to the Exchanging Corporation (or its
predecessor in interest) by the shareholders of the Exchanged
Corporation or the Exchanged Corporation, and except for
liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business since the
date of such balance sheet, the Exchanged Corporation does not
have any accrued or contingent liability arising out of any
transaction or state of facts existing prior to the date hereof
(or the Closing Date, as applicable) that could reasonably be
expected to require the Exchanged Corporation to pay more than
$5,000.
5.9 Within the times and in the manner prescribed by law, the
Exchanged Corporation has filed all federal, state, and local tax
returns required by law and has paid all taxes, assessments, and
penalties due and payable. There are no present disputes about
taxes of any nature payable by the Exchanged Corporation and no
federal or other tax return has been audited.
5.10 The Exchanged Corporation has good and marketable title to
all of its assets free and clear of all liens, charges, and
encumbrances, claims, easements, rights of way, covenants,
conditions, or restrictions. The locations at which
substantially all of the operating assets of the Exchanged
Corporation are located are listed on Schedule 5.10. All real
property and tangible personal property of the Exchanged
Corporation that is necessary to the operation of
Page 5 STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
its business is in good operating condition and repair in all
material respects, ordinary wear and tear excepted. No
shareholder of the Exchanged Corporation; nor any officer,
director, or employee of the Exchanged Corporation, nor any
spouse, child, or other relative of any of these persons, owns or
has any interest, directly or indirectly, in any of the real or
personal property owned by or leased to the Exchanged
Corporation.
5.11 The Exchanged Corporation holds all necessary licenses or
other rights necessary for the operation of its business as now
conducted by it, and each such license or right is presently
valid and effective.

shareholders of the Exchanged Corporation to the Exchanging
Corporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by
