SECTION IV REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
4.1 Representations and Warranties of the Sellers. In order to induce the Purchaser
to purchase the Shares that it is purchasing hereunder, the Sellers jointly and severally represent
and warrant to the Purchaser that:
(a) Organization and Standing. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing
under the laws of the State of Colorado, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own
or lease its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted.
The Company does not own any equity interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person or
business enterprise. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect upon its assets, properties, financial condition, results of operations or business.
The Company has no subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) hereof, no
corporate proceedings on the part of the Company (including the approval of the Company’s Board of
Directors or shareholders) are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Capitalization. At the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of
the Company consists of (i) 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 79,302,460 shares are
issued and outstanding, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which no shares are issued
and outstanding. The Company has no other class or series of equity securities authorized, issued,
reserved for issuance or outstanding. There are (x) no outstanding options, offers, warrants,
conversion rights, contracts or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase from the Company, or
agreements obligating the Company to issue, transfer, or sell (whether formal or informal, written
or oral, firm or contingent), shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company (whether
debt, equity, or a combination thereof) or obligating the Company to grant, extend, or enter into
any such agreement and (y) no agreements or other understandings (whether formal or informal,
written or oral, firm or contingent) which require or may require the Company to repurchase any of
its Common Stock. There are no preemptive or similar rights granted by the Company with respect to
the Company’s capital stock. There are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained
in any security issued by the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(b) hereto, the
Company is not a party to, and, to the actual knowledge of the Sellers, without inquiry, no
Stockholder is a party to, any registration rights agreements, voting agreements, voting trusts,
proxies or any other agreements, instruments or understandings with respect to the voting of any
shares of the
5
capital stock of the Company, or any agreement with respect to the transferability, purchase
or redemption of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The sale of the Shares to the
Purchaser does not obligate the Company to issue any shares of capital stock or other securities to
any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company
securities, by agreement with the Company, to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under such securities. The outstanding Common Stock is all duly and validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Sellers will cause the Company not to issue, or resolve
or agree to issue, any securities to any party, other than the Purchaser and its assignees, prior
to the Closing. The Shares represent approximately 87% of the outstanding capital stock of the
Company, on a Fully-Diluted Basis.
(c) Capacity of the Sellers; Authorization; Execution of Agreements. Each Seller has
all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to perform the
transactions and obligations to be performed by it hereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by KI Equity, and the performance by KI Equity of the transactions and obligations
contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the sale of the KI Shares to the Purchaser
hereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of KI Equity. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of KI Equity. This
Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of each Seller, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of the United States (both state and federal),
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or remedies in general from time to time in effect
and the exercise by courts of equity powers or their application of principles of public policy.
(d) Title to Shares. KI Equity is the sole record and beneficial owner of the KI
Shares and has sole managerial and dispositive authority with respect to the KI Shares. Xxxxxxx is
the sole record and beneficial owner of the Xxxxxxx Shares and has sole managerial and dispositive
authority with respect to the Xxxxxxx Shares. Neither Seller has granted any person a proxy with
respect to the Shares owned by such Seller that has not expired or been validly withdrawn. The
sale and delivery by the Sellers of the Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will
vest in the Purchaser legal and valid title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, security
interests, adverse claims or other encumbrances of any character whatsoever
(“Encumbrances”) (other than Encumbrances created by the Purchaser and restrictions on the
