Standing. Bong is a limited liability corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Florida. Bong has the power to own or lease its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Bong is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdictions set forth
on Schedule 4.1, which are the only jurisdictions in which the character or
location of the properties owned or leased by Bong or the nature of the business
conducted by Bong makes such qualification necessary.
4.2 Capital Stock. Bong
has an authorized capitalization consisting of 4,000,000 membership
interests, of which 1,319,765 are issued and outstanding and 2,680,235

Since the

in the assets or liabilities, or in the business or condition, financial or
otherwise, or in the results of operations or prospects of Bong, whether as a
result of any legislative or regulatory change, revocation of any license or
rights to do business, fire, explosion, accident, casualty, labor trouble,
flood, drought, riot, storm, condemnation or act of God or other public force or
otherwise and (b) no material adverse change in the assets or liabilities, or in
the business or condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of
operations or prospects, of Bong and to the best knowledge, information and
belief of Bong, no fact or condition exists or is contemplated or threatened
which might cause such a change in the future.
4.4 Books and
Records. The minute books of Bong, all the contents of which
have been previously made available to Millennium and their representatives,
contain accurate records of all meetings of, and corporate action taken by
(including action taken by written consent) the shareholders, members, Board of
Directors and managing members of Bong. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.4 attached hereto, Bong does not have any of its respective records,
systems, controls, data or information recorded, stored, maintained, operated or

caused to be filed, within the times and within the manner prescribed by law,

state, local and foreign income, profits, franchise, employment, sales, use,
occupancy, excise and other taxes and assessments, stock and transfer taxes
(including interest and penalties) payable by, or due from, Bong and each of its

applicable to any tax return of Bong. Schedule 4.10 attached hereto
lists all tax sharing contracts, agreements or arrangements to which Bong is a
party and all such contracts, agreements and arrangements have been
terminated prior to the Closing Date with no liability or obligation to
Bong.
4.11 Liabilities. To
the best knowledge of the Principal Shareholders after due inquiry and except as
set forth on Schedule 4.11, Bong on a consolidated basis has no outstanding
claims, liabilities or indebtedness, contingent or otherwise, which are not
properly reflected in the Financial Statements in a manner consistently with
past practice, other than liabilities incurred subsequent to the Financial
Statement date in the ordinary course of business not exceeding $100,000
individually or $300,000 in the aggregate; the reserves reflected in the
Financial Statements are adequate, appropriate and
reasonable. Bong is not in default in respect of the terms or
conditions of any indebtedness.
4.12 Insurance. To the
best knowledge of the Principal Shareholders after due inquiry set forth on
Schedule 4.12, attached hereto, is a brief description of insurance policies
(specifying the insurer, the policy number or coverage note number with respect
to binders and the amount of any deductible, describing the pending claims if
such claims exceed the applicable policy limits, setting forth the
aggregate amount paid out by the insurer under each policy from December 31,
2000, through the date hereof and the aggregate limit, if any, of the insurer’s
liability thereunder) which Bong and any of its subsidiaries maintain with
respect to its business, properties or employees. Such policies are
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in full
force and effect and are free from any right of termination on the part of the
insurance carriers. Such policies, with respect to their amounts and
types of coverage, are adequate to insure fully against risks to which Bong and
any of its subsidiaries and their respective property and assets are normally
exposed in the operation of their businesses. Neither Bong nor any of
its subsidiaries is in default with respect to any material provision in any
such policy or binder and has not failed to give any notice or present any claim
under any such policy or binder in due and timely fashion, and neither Bong nor
any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of cancellation or non-renewal
with respect to any such policy or binder. Except for claims set
forth on Schedule 4.12, there are no outstanding unpaid claims under any such
policy or binder which have gone unpaid for more than 45 days or as to which the
carrier has disclaimed liability.
11
4.13 Intellectual
Properties. To the best knowledge of the Principal
Shareholders after due inquiry the operation of the business of Bong or any of
its subsidiaries requires no rights under Intellectual Property (as hereinafter
defined) other than rights under Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 4.13
attached hereto, and rights granted to Bong or any of its subsidiaries pursuant
to agreements listed on Schedule 4.13. Within the three year period
immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, neither the business of Bong or
any of its subsidiaries made use of Intellectual Property rights other than
rights under Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 4.13 and rights granted to
Bong or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements listed on Schedule
4.13. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 4.13, either Bong or
any of its subsidiaries owns all right, title and interest in the Intellectual
Property listed on Schedule 4.13 including, without limitation, exclusive
rights to use and license the same. Each item of Intellectual
Property listed on Schedule 4.13 has been duly registered with, filed in, or
issued by the appropriate domestic or foreign governmental agency, to the extent
required, and each such registration, filing and issuance remains in full force
and effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13, no claim adverse to
the interests of Bong or any of its subsidiaries in the Intellectual Property or
agreements listed on Schedule 4.13 has been made in litigation. To
the best knowledge, information and belief of the Principal Shareholders, no
such claim has been threatened or asserted, no basis exists for any such claim,
and no Person has infringed or otherwise violated the rights of Bong or any of
its subsidiaries in any of the Intellectual Property or agreements listed on
Schedule 4.13. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13, no litigation is
pending wherein Bong or any of its subsidiaries is accused of infringing or
otherwise violating the Intellectual Property right of another, or of breaching
a contract conveying rights under Intellectual Property. To the best
knowledge, information and belief of the Principal Shareholders, no such claim
has been asserted or threatened against Bong or any of its subsidiaries, nor are
there any facts that would give rise to such a claim. For purposes of
this Section 4.13, “Intellectual Property” means domestic and foreign patents,
patent applications, registered and unregistered trade marks and service marks,
trade names, registered and unregistered copyrights, computer programs,

expenses), (each a “Claim”), in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate, as a
result of or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Shareholders and/or Bong or the failure of any
representation or warranty made by Shareholders and/or Bong in this
Agreement or in any Schedule attached hereto or any document or agreement
delivered hereunder to be true and correct in all respects as of the date
of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date or the non-performance by The
Shareholders and/or Bong of any covenant, term or provision to be
performed by it hereunder or in any of the documents or agreements
delivered hereunder which may be imposed or sought to be imposed on
Millennium or Bong.
|
26
|
(b)
|
Bong’s
right to indemnification as provided in this Section 8.2 shall not be
eliminated, reduced or modified in any way as a result of the fact that
(i) Millennium has notice of a breach or inaccuracy of any representation,
warranty or covenant contained herein; (ii) Bong has been provided with
access, as requested by Millennium, to officers and employees of Bong or
any of its subsidiaries and such of Bong’s books, documents, contracts and
records as has been provided to Millennium in response to Millennium’s
requests.
|
8.3 Conditions of
Indemnification.
|
(a)
|
A
party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the
“Indemnified Party”) in writing of any Claim or potential liability for
Taxes (“Tax Claim”) which the Indemnified Party has determined has given
or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this
Agreement. Such notice shall be given within a reasonable
(taking into account the nature of the Claim or Tax Claim) period of time
after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge
thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its
obligations under this Article 8 within forty days after receipt of
subsequent written notice from the Indemnified Party if an amount is
specified therein, or promptly following receipt of subsequent
written notice or notices specifying the amount of such Claim or Tax Claim
additions thereto; provided, however, that for so long as the Indemnifying
Party is in good faith defending a Claim or Tax Claim pursuant to
Section 8.3(b) hereof, its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party
with respect thereto shall be suspended (other than with respect to any
costs, expenses or other liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Party
prior to the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying
Party). Failure to provide a notice of Claim or Tax Claim
within the time period referred to above shall not constitute a defense to
a Claim or Tax Claim or release the Indemnifying Party from any obligation
hereunder to the extent that such failure does not prejudice the position
of the Indemnifying Party.
|
27
|
(b)
|
If
the facts giving rise to any such indemnification involve any actual,
threatened or possible Claim or demand or Tax Claim by any person not a
party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to contest or defend such Claim or demand Tax
Claim at its expense and through counsel of its own choosing, which
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, such
right to contest or defend shall only apply if the Indemnifying Party gave
written notice of its intention to assume the contest and defense of such
Claim or demand Tax Claim to the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable,
but in no event more than thirty days after receipt of the notice of
Claims or Tax Claim, and provided the Indemnified Party with appropriate
assurances as to the creditworthiness of the Indemnifying Party, and
that the Indemnifying Party will be in a position to pay all fees,
expenses and judgments that might arise out of such Claim or demand Tax
Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the obligation to
cooperate in the defense of any such Claim or demand Tax Claim and
the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any Claim
or Tax Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending in
good faith any such Claim or demand Tax Claim asserted by a third party
against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or
compromise such Claim or demand Tax Claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any such Claim or
demand Tax Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party at any time
utilizing its own funds to do so if in connection with such settlement or
compromise the Indemnified Party is fully released by the third party and
is paid in full any indemnification amounts due hereunder. The
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its
agents all records and other materials in the Indemnified Party’s
possession reasonably required by it for its use in contesting any third
party Claim or demand Tax Claim and shall otherwise cooperate, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense thereof in such manner
as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Whether or
not the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Claim or demand Tax
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do
so.
