agreement, encumbrance or other charge. The Financial Statements
reflect all personal property and assets of the Company (other than assets
disposed of in the ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30,
2009), and such properties and assets are sufficient for the Company to conduct
the business of the Company as currently conducted and as proposed to be
conducted.

Liabilities. The Company has delivered to the Purchaser its
audited financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and for the fiscal year

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Financial
Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and
operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated

incurred in the ordinary course of business; and (iii) liabilities and
obligations of a type or nature not required under generally accepted accounting

cases, individually and in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a
standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

damage, destruction or loss that would have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(c) any
waiver or compromise by the Company of a valuable right or of a material debt
owed to it;

(a) As of the
date hereof, the Company employs no full-time employees or part-time employees
and instead only engages consultants or independent contractors, including its
executive officers. Section 2.14 of the
Disclosure Schedule sets forth a detailed description of all compensation,

(b) To the
Company’s knowledge, none of its officers is obligated under any contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement,
or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative
agency, that would materially interfere with such officer’s ability to promote
the interest of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s
business. Neither the execution or delivery of the Agreement, nor the
carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the
conduct of the Company’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to
be conducted, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such officer is now
obligated.
(c) The
Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its consultants, or independent
contractors for any compensation for any service performed for it to the date
hereof or amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees, consultants, or

commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested
or, to the knowledge of the Company, has sought to represent any of the
