Except as provided on Schedule 3.9 hereof, the Corporation has filed
all federal, state, county, and local tax returns and tax reports required to be
filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which
such returns and reports are required to be filed and all of the foregoing are
true, correct and complete. All Taxes required to have been paid or accrued by
the Corporation have been fully paid or are adequately provided for on the
Recent Balance Sheet. No issues have been raised (and are currently pending) by
the IRS or any other taxing authority concerning the Corporation's liability for
Taxes, and no waivers of statutes of limitations have been given or requested
with respect to the Corporation. There is no tax lien of any kind outstanding
against the assets, property, or business of the Corporation. All deficiencies
asserted or assessments (including interest and penalties) made as a result of

authorities of the federal, state or local income tax, sales tax or franchise
tax returns of or with respect to the Corporation have been fully paid or are
adequately provided for on the Recent Balance Sheet and no proposed (but
unassessed) additional taxes, interest or penalties have been asserted. The
provisions for taxes in the Recent Balance Sheet are sufficient for the payment
of all accrued and unpaid federal, state or local and foreign
9
taxes as of such date. The Corporation has not (i) elected to be treated as a
collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code, nor (ii) made
any other elections pursuant to the Code that would have an adverse effect on
the Corporation, its financial condition, its business as presently conducted or
presently proposed to be conducted or any of its properties or assets. The
Corporation has not made any material payments, is not obligated to make any
material payments and is not a party to any agreement that under certain
circumstances could obligate it to make any material payments that would be
treated as a "golden parachute" payment under the Code. The Corporation is not a
party to any tax allocation or sharing agreement. The Corporation has not (i)
been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income tax
return, and (ii) had liability for the Taxes of any entity under Treasury
Regulation ss. 1.502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign
law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.
3.10. Title; Encumbrances; Burdensome Restrictions.
The Corporation does not own and has never owned any real property.
The items of personal property of the Corporation reflected on the Recent
Financial Statements are in good operating condition and repair, reasonable wear
and tear excepted, are suitable for the purposes for which they are presently
used or then used in the conduct of its business, are structurally sound and
free from patent defects and there is no material expenditure presently required
in order to maintain such condition and state of repair or replace any tangible
personal property. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10 attached hereto, and,
with respect to certain leasehold interests and licenses for the use of assets,
as set forth in the Recent Financial Statements, the Corporation owns good and
valid title (or leasehold title, as the case may be) to all property and assets,
real, personal or fixed, tangible or intangible, used by it in its operations as
presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, subject to no mortgages,
liens, security interests, pledges, charges or other encumbrances of any kind.
The Corporation is not obligated under any contract or agreement or subject to
any charter or other corporate restriction which adversely affects its business,
properties, assets, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise). The
Corporation is not in violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance,
regulation or requirement or other law or regulation applicable to the operation
of its owned properties. The Corporation, in its capacity as lessee, is not in
violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or requirement
or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of its leased properties.
The Corporation has not received any notice of violation with which it has not
complied.
3.11. Intellectual Property Rights.
a) A complete list of the Intellectual Property Rights of the
Corporation is set forth on Schedule 3.11 to this Agreement. Except as set forth
on Schedule 3.11 attached hereto, there are no Intellectual Property Rights
necessary or required to enable the Corporation to carry on its respective
business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. No third
party has any ownership right, title, interest, claim in
10
or lien on any of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Corporation and there
are no restrictions on the Corporation's use or right to use the Intellectual
Property Rights. The Corporation has not granted or assigned to any other person
or entity any right to make, have made, assemble or sell the products or
proposed products or to provide the services or proposed services of the
Corporation. To the best knowledge of the Corporation, no other Person is using
or infringing upon the Corporation's Intellectual Property Rights.
b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11, the Corporation has not
violated or infringed, is not currently violating or infringing, and has not
received any communications alleging that it (or any of its employees or
consultants) has violated or infringed or, by conducting its business as
presently conducted or proposed to be conducted, would violate or infringe, the
Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity. No third party has
claimed or has reason to claim that any Designated Person has (a) violated or
may be violating any of the terms or conditions of his employment,
non-competition or non-disclosure agreement with such third party, (b) disclosed
or may be disclosing or utilized or may be utilizing any trade secret or
proprietary information or documentation of such third party or (c) interfered
or may be interfering in the employment relationship between such third party
and any of its present or former employees. No third party has requested
information from the Corporation which suggests that such a claim might be
contemplated. No Designated Person has employed or proposes to employ any trade
secret or any information or documentation proprietary to any former employer,
and no Designated Person has violated any confidential relationship which such
Designated Person may have had with any third party, in connection with the
development, manufacture or sale of any product or proposed product or the
development or sale of any service or proposed service of the Corporation, and
the Corporation has no reason to believe there will be any such employment or
violation. None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the carrying
on of the business of the Corporation as officers, employees or agents by any
Designated Person, or the conduct or proposed conduct of the business of the
Corporation, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions
or provisions of or constitute a default under any contract, covenant or
instrument under which any such Designated Person is obligated or under any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency to which such
Designated Person is subject.
3.12. Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12 hereof, there is no Action
pending (or, to the best knowledge of the Corporation, currently threatened)
against the Corporation, or its existing or proposed business or activities,
properties or assets or, to the best knowledge of the Corporation, against any
Designated Person in connection with such Designated Person's relationship with,
or actions taken on behalf of, the Corporation. There is no factual or legal
basis for any such Action that might result, individually or in the aggregate,
in any material adverse change in the business, properties or financial
condition of the Corporation. The Corporation is not a party to or subject to
the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any
11
court or governmental agency or instrumentality and there is no Action by the
Corporation currently pending or which the Corporation intends to initiate.
3.13. No Defaults.
The Corporation is not in default under its Certificate of
Incorporation or bylaws. The Corporation is not in default: (a) under any note,
indenture, mortgage, other instrument evidencing indebtedness, lease, purchase
or sales order, or any other material contract, agreement or instrument to which
it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected or (b)
with respect to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or
any federal, state, municipal or other domestic or foreign governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality. To the best
knowledge of the Corporation, there exists no condition, event or act which
constitutes, or which after notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute, a
default under any of the foregoing.
3.14. Labor Agreements and Actions.
The Corporation is not bound by or subject to any contract,
commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has
requested, sought or attempted to represent any employees, representatives or
agents of the Corporation. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving
the Corporation pending nor, to the best knowledge of the Corporation,
threatened, nor is the Corporation aware of any labor organization activity
involving its employees.
3.15. Compliance.
Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15 hereof, the Corporation (a) has
