Section 3.02 Authorization.
(a) If the One World Shareholder is an individual, he or she is of the full age of majority, with full power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the obligations contemplated hereby by and for himself or herself and his or her spouse, if any. All action on the part of the One World Shareholder necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the One World Shareholder has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the One World Shareholder, enforceable against such shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other laws of general application relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equitable principles.
(b) If the One World Shareholder is an entity, all action on the part of the One World Shareholder necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the One World Shareholder has been taken prior to Closing.

There is no claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether judicial, administrative or otherwise, pending or, to the best of the One World Shareholder’s knowledge, threatened that would preclude or restrict the transfer to the Company of the One World Shares owned by the One World Shareholder or the performance of this Agreement by the One World Shareholder.
Section 3.04 No Default. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the One World Shareholder does not and will not constitute a violation or default under or conflict with any contract, agreement, understanding or commitment to which such One World Shareholder is a party or by which such One World Shareholder is bound.
Section 3.05 Accredited Investor Status. Except for certain employees of One World who received shares, the One World Shareholder is an “accredited investors” as that term is defined pursuant to Section 501, as amended, of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
Section 3.06 Acquisition of Stock for Investment.
(a) The One World Shareholder understands that the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company will not have been registered under the Act, or any state securities acts, and, accordingly, are restricted securities, and that he, she or it represents and warrants to the Company that his, her or its present intention is to receive and hold the Common Stock of the Company for investment only and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
(b) The One World Shareholder understands that any sale by the One World Shareholder of any of the Common Stock of the Company received under this Agreement will, under current law, require either: (a) the registration of the Common Stock of the Company under the Act and applicable state securities acts; (b) compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; or (c) the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and applicable state securities acts.

The One World Shareholder further understands that the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 may not be available to the holders of the Common Stock because the Company is deemed to have once been a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Act. Rule 144 will only be available for the resale of the Common Stock at such time that the Company (a) is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Act; (b) has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials); (c) has filed current "Form 10 information" with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer a “shell company”; and (d) one year has elapsed from the date that the Company filed such "Form 10 information" with the SEC.

(d) To assist in implementing the above provisions, the One World Shareholder hereby consent to the placement of the legend, or a substantially similar legend, set forth below, on all certificates representing ownership of the Common Stock of the Company acquired hereby until the Common Stock of the Company has been sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, pursuant to the requirements hereof. The legend shall read substantially as follows:
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT EITHER: (I) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (II) SUBMISSION TO THE CORPORATION OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SAID SHARES AND THE TRANSFER THEREOF ARE EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

If any lawsuit enforcement action or any attempt to collect on an alleged liability is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice or other date by which action must be taken; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates damage caused by such failure. After such notice, the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party's cost, risk and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless such settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding only involves a remedy for the payment of money by the indemnifying party and includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
Section 5.03 Default of Indemnification Obligation. If an entity or individual having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume
and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such individuals or entities absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case may be.
Section 5.04 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations, warranties and indemnities given by the parties to each other pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period ending twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (“Survival Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for indemnification may be made against the party required to indemnify (the “Indemnitor”) under this Agreement unless the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall have given the Indemnitor written notice of such claim as provided herein on or before the Survival Date. Any claim for which notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Survival Date shall not be barred hereunder.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
