No representation or warranty made by Sellers in this Agreement or in any writing furnished or to be furnished pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state any material fact required to make the statements herein or therein contained not misleading. Sellers and MAGAA have disclosed to Purchaser all material information known to it related to MAGAA, and its respective condition, operations, and prospects. Sellers acknowledges that the Purchaser has represented to Sellers that Purchaser intends to cause MAGAA to acquire a business or assets within a reasonable time after the Closing.

Sellers shall cause signed lockup (for three months after Closing) and leakout (20% of the shares owned by each person each month) agreements to be signed by each of the four current officers and directors regarding the MAGAA shares retained by each, and by Xxxx X. Xxxxxx on behalf of the Magna LLC beneficial owners, other than Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, and released from escrow at Closing. The form of the lockup/leakout agreement has been provided by Purchaser.
