REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
THE COMPANY AND THE COMPANY SHAREHOLDER
The Company and Company Shareholder hereby agree, represent, and warrant to
Sportan, on the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, as follows:
3.01. Organization and Qualification.
--------------------------------
(a) The Company is a Texas corporation duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation, with all requisite power and authority to conduct its business
and is not in breach of, or in default with respect to, any term of its Articles
of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents, except where such
breach would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, the
Company has 6,266,439 shares of common stock outstanding which includes shares
issued pursuant to several debt conversions. The Company anticipates a debt
conversion resulting in 120,000 shares being issued prior to closing, as set
forth in Schedule 2.01. The Company has obtained all necessary consents,
authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses, certificates, and permits of and
from, and declarations and filings with, all federal, state, local, and other
governmental authorities and all courts and other tribunals, to own, lease,
license, and use its properties and assets and to carry on the business in which
it is now engaged, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company is duly qualified to transact the business in
which it is engaged in every jurisdiction in which its ownership, leasing,
licensing, or use of property or assets or the conduct of its business makes
such qualification necessary, except where the failure to do so would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Company does not have and has never had any subsidiaries and
does not directly or indirectly own any equity interest in, or any interest
convertible into or exchangeable for any equity or similar interest in, any
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.
3.02. Capitalization. The Stockholders collectively own one hundred
--------------
(100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company, which constitutes all of the outstanding capital stock of Company. The
Company Stock is not owned or held in violation of any preemptive right of any
other person or entity, is validly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and is owned of record and beneficially by the Stockholder. The
shares of Company Stock held by the Stockholders are free and clear of all
liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, voting agreements,
and voting trusts. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.02, there is no
commitment, plan, or arrangement to issue, and no outstanding option, warrant,
convertible debt agreement or other right calling for the issuance of, any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any security or other instrument
convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for capital stock of the
Company.
3.03. Due Authorization; Third Party Consents. The Company has the
------------------------------------------

hereby. This Agreement constitutes a legal and binding obligation of the
Company, and is valid and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms.

INDEMNIFICATION
9.01. Indemnification by the Company Shareholder. The Company
----------------------------------------------
Shareholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sportan against any
damage, loss, claim, liability, cost or expense, including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, accountants, experts and other consultants
(collectively, "Damages"), resulting from, arising out of, or based upon any
-------
misstatement or omission from any representation by, or any breach of warranty,
covenant or agreement of the Company or the Company Shareholder contained herein
("Other Liabilities"). The maximum amount of indemnification shall be the
lesser of 100,000 shares of Sportan common stock or $300,000. Company
Shareholder agrees that upon the date of the signing of this Agreement, Company
Shareholder shall deliver to escrow agent shares of Sportan common stock as
provided in Section 5.07.8.
13
9.02. Indemnification by Sportan Shareholder. The Sportan Shareholder
---------------------------------------
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sportan from and against any Damages
resulting from, arising out of, based upon or occasioned by any misstatement or
omission from any representations by, or any breach of warranty, covenant or
agreement of, Sportan Shareholder contained herein. The maximum amount of
indemnification shall be the lesser of 10,000 shares of Sportan common stock or
$100,000. Sportan Shareholder agrees that upon the date of the signing of this
Agreement, Sportan Shareholder shall deliver to escrow agent shares of Sportan
common stock as provided for in Section 6.07.5.
9.03 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by a party
---------------------------
(the "Indemnitee"), of notice of any action, suit, proceeding, audit, claim or
----------
potential claim (any of which is hereinafter individually referred to as a
"Circumstance"), which could give rise to a right to indemnification for damages
------------
pursuant to Sections 9.01 or 9.02, the Indemnitee shall give the party who may
become obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnitor") written
----------
notice describing the Circumstance in reasonable detail; provided, that failure
--------
of an Indemnitee to give such notice to the Indemnitor shall not relieve the
Indemnitor from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless (and
then only to the extent) that the failure to give such notice prejudices the
defense of the Circumstance by the Indemnitee. Such Indemnitor shall have the
right, at its option and upon its acknowledgment to the Indemnitee of
Indemnitor's liability to indemnify Indemnitee in respect of such asserted
liability, to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel selected
by Indemnitor, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the
Indemnitee; provided, that any such compromise (i) shall include as an
--------
unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to such
Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such claim and (ii)
shall not result in the imposition on the Indemnitee of any remedy other than
monetary damages to be paid in full by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Section
9.03. If any Indemnitor shall undertake to compromise or defend any such
asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of its intention to
do so, and the Indemnitee agrees to, and to cause its own independent counsel
to, cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its counsel in the compromise of, or
defense against, any such asserted liability. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such cooperation
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Indemnitee's own independent counsel) shall be borne by the Indemnitor. Under no
circumstances shall the Indemnitee compromise any such asserted liability
without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), unless the Indemnitor shall have failed or refused to
undertake the defense of any such asserted liability after a reasonable period
of time has elapsed following the notice of a Circumstance received by such
Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.03. Alternatively, Indemnitor may satisfy
his indemnity obligation by returning for cancellation his Sportan common stock
held in escrow to Sportan. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of
any Circumstance, Indemnitee shall give Indemnitor and Escrow Agent written
notice describing the Circumstance in reasonable detail. The Indemnitor has the
right to instruct the Agent to deliver to Sportan Indemnitor's shares of Sportan
common stock in the amount necessary to satisfy the value of the claim. Upon
receipt of Indemnitor's shares of Sportan common stock, Sportan shall cancel and
return to treasury the amount of Sportan common stock necessary to satisfy the
indemnification obligation. Sportan's common stock value shall be determined by
the last five days' average sales price prior to the date upon which
indemnification is called. If any shares of Sportan common stock remain, Sportan
shall deliver a new stock certificate with remaining Sportan shares to escrow
agent.
9.04. Termination. Indemnification obligations of the Company
-----------
Shareholder and Sportan Shareholder terminate twelve months after the date of
the signing of this Agreement provided, however, that the escrow period will be
extended if there is a claim made during the twelve-month period.
