duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent.
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by and constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against each such party
in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this agreement
do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not,

creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of Parent under
(i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Parent, (ii) any loan or

regulation or arbitration award applicable to Parent or its respective
properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
any such conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults, rights, losses or liens
that individually or in the aggregate could not have a material adverse
effect with respect to Parent or could not prevent, hinder or materially
delay the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or

respective dates, the Parent SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of

of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited
consolidated quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-QSB of the SEC)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be
indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated
financial position of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and changes in
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments as determined by
Parent's independent accountants). Except as set forth in the Parent SEC

Parent.

event or occurrence which, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect or give rise to a
material adverse change with respect to Parent; (iii) any event which, if
it had taken place following the execution of this Agreement, would not

or prevent, hinder or materially delay the ability of Parent to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is
there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any
Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against Parent having,
or which, insofar as reasonably could be foreseen by Parent, in the
future could have, any such effect.
(ii) Parent is not a party to, or bound by, any collective
bargaining agreement, contract or other agreement or understanding
with a labor union or labor organization, nor is it the subject of any
proceeding asserting that it has committed an unfair labor practice or
seeking to compel it to bargain with any labor organization as to
wages or conditions of employment nor is there any strike, work
stoppage or other labor dispute involving it pending or, to its
knowledge, threatened, any of which could have a material adverse

agreement which could result in the payment to any current, former or
future director or employee of Parent of any money or other property or
rights or accelerate or provide any other rights or benefits to any such
employee or director as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, whether or not (i) such payment, acceleration or provision would
constitute a "parachute payment" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code), or (ii) some other subsequent action or event would be required to
cause such payment, acceleration or provision to be triggered.
(j) Tax Returns and Tax Payments. Parent has timely filed all Tax
Returns required to be filed by it, has paid all Taxes shown thereon to be

and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any
Taxes has been granted by Parent and is currently in effect.

applicable Environmental Laws.
(l) Material Contract Defaults. Parent is not, or has not, received
any notice or has any knowledge that any other party is, in default in any
respect under any Material Contract; and there has not occurred any event
that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would
constitute such a material default. For purposes of this Agreement, a

party to cancel or terminate the same (with or without notice of passage of
time) or (B) provide a basis for any other party to claim money damages
(either individually or in the aggregate with all other such claims under
that contract) from Parent or (C) give rise to a right of acceleration of
any material obligation or loss of any material benefit under any such
contract, agreement or commitment.

tangible properties and tangible assets reflected in the latest balance
