all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and orders of public authorities to
own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business in all
material respects as it is now being conducted, including qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in the states in which the character and
location of the assets owned by it or the nature of the business transacted by

defined) as Schedule 1.1 are complete and correct copies of the certificate of
incorporation and bylaws of ARR as in effect on the date hereof. The execution

judgment, order, injunction, decree or ruling of any court, tribunal, arbitrator
or governmental authority, domestic or foreign to which any of the respective

and effect, there are no existing material defaults by ARR thereunder, and, to
the knowledge of the ARR Parties, no event has occurred which (with notice,
lapse of time or both) would constitute a default thereunder by any party to
such leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.13 hereto, ARR is presently in
compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances relating to zoning and land use restrictions which are applicable to
any portion of the land subject to the real property leases set forth in
Schedule 1.13 hereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.13 hereto, no consent is

Section 1.14 Tax Returns. Schedule 1.14 hereto consists of a complete list of
all of ARR's Tax Returns and Statements (as defined herein) filed at any time
during the three years preceding the date of this Agreement. Except as set forth
in ARR's Tax Returns and Statements, ARR has: (a) filed or has caused to be
filed all federal, state and local and all material foreign, territorial,
franchise, income, sales, gross receipts and all other tax returns and
statements required to be filed by ARR or on its behalf and which were due prior
to the date of this Agreement (the "Tax Returns and Statements"); (b) paid
E-9
within the time and in the manner prescribed by law all Taxes (as defined
below), due for all periods ending on or prior to the date of this Agreement,
except with respect to Taxes which are immaterial in amount and the failure to

Material Adverse Effect; and (c) established adequate reserves for the payment
of all unpaid Taxes as of the date of the ARR Financial Statements. The Tax
Returns and Statements are true, complete and accurate, in all material
respects. No tax assessment or deficiency has been made against ARR nor has any
notice been given of any actual or proposed assessment or deficiency which has
not been paid or for which an adequate reserve has not been set aside. Except as
set forth in such Tax Returns and Statements, the Tax Returns and Statements are
not presently, nor have they since ARR's inception been, the subject of any
audit or other administrative or court proceeding by any federal, territorial,
state, local or foreign governmental agency. ARR has not received any notice

audited, and no consents extending any applicable statute of limitations have
been filed.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Taxes" shall mean any and all taxes, payroll
and employment related taxes, levies, assessments, charges or other fees,

governmental authority upon ARR or KAK, as the case may be.

directly or indirectly, in any Contract to which ARR is a party, or any interest
in any competitor supplier or customer of ARR. Except as set forth item by item
on Schedule 1.15 hereto, ARR is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to any
Affiliate of ARR, for any liability or obligation, whether arising by reason of
stock ownership, contract, oral or written agreement or otherwise. Except as
disclosed on Schedule 1.15, no Affiliate is indebted, directly or indirectly, to
ARR. Schedule 1.15 is a complete and accurate list of all employees of ARR owing
more than $5,000 in principal (provided that the aggregate principal amount owed
by employees to ARR not set forth on Schedule 1.15 shall not exceed $25,000)
plus accrued interest, to ARR, other than travel or other employee advances (not
exceeding $1,000 to any one person) in the ordinary course of business, setting
forth the amounts owed, the applicable interest rates, a description of the
security and the maturity dates of all such debts.
No Affiliate:(a) is a party to any Contract with ARR pursuant to which it
directly provides material services to ARR; or (b) is a party to any Contract
with a third party, to which ARR is not a party, but under which ARR receives
any material amount of goods or services from said third party. Except as set
forth on Schedule 1.15 hereto, all goods and services provided to ARR by any of
its Affiliates and all goods and services provided to any of its Affiliates by
ARR, at any time since ARR's inception have been charged to the recipient at a
price that would have been acceptable to an unrelated third party receiving such
goods and services in an arm's length transaction with the provider.
Section 1.16 Contracts and Commitments. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.16:

Government or any other comparable agency of any other government;
(d) There are no outstanding sales contracts, purchase orders, commitments
or proposals of ARR which continue for a period of more than 30 days or will
likely result in any loss to ARR upon completion or performance thereof;

U.S. Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or with any foreign,
territorial or state government or any agency or instrumentality thereof; and

other than (i) as reflected on the ARR Financial Statements and (ii) for amounts
not more than $5,000 to any individual and $25,000 in the aggregate.
Section 1.17 Compliance with Contracts; Delivery of Certain Contracts. ARR is
not in default under any material Contract, commitment, obligation or agreement,
including, without limitation, those listed in Schedules 1.13, 1.16 and 1.30
hereto, except for those which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and no
act or omission by ARR has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute such a default under any term or provision of any such Contract
or agreement. Each of the agreements referred to in Schedules 1.13, 1.16 and
1.30 hereto is valid and in full force and effect. To the knowledge of the ARR
Parties, no party is in default under any agreement referred to in Schedules
1.13, 1.16 and 1.30 hereto, and, no act or omission has occurred by any party
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default
under any term or provision thereof. ARR previously delivered to KAK a true and
correct copy of each Contract listed on Schedules 1.13, 1.16 and 1.30 hereto,
including all amendments and modifications thereof.
E-11
Section 1.18 Insurance. Schedule 1.18 contains an accurate and true description
of all existing policies of fire, liability, worker's compensation and all other
forms of insurance owned or held by, or covering the business, properties or
assets of, ARR. All such policies are in full force and effect, all premiums
with respect thereto covering all periods up to and including the date hereof
have been paid, and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received
by ARR with respect to any such policy. Such policies will remain in full force
and effect through the respective dates set forth on Schedule 1.18 without
additional premiums being paid or properly accrued as an additional liability.
Schedule 1.18 also: (a) describes all products liability claims made since ARR's
inception, and all other claims (except medical and dental) pending or made
since ARR's inception under such insurance policies; and (b) identifies all
types of insurable risks which ARR and its Board of Directors has designated as
being self insured. To the knowledge of the ARR Parties, except as set forth in
Schedule 1.18, ARR has not been turned down at any time since the inception of
ARR for any insurance with respect to its assets or operations, nor has its
coverage been limited by any insurance carrier to which it has applied for any
such insurance or with which it has carried insurance during the last three (3)
years.
Section 1.19 Labor Difficulties.

of, any material term of any employment contract or any other Contract relating
