hereto is a true and complete list of all Intellectual Property. Seller has
complete rights to and ownership of all Intellectual Property required for use

license any Intellectual Property or portion thereof.
(c) Neither

litigation contesting the validity and ownership by Seller or its right to use,
sell, license or dispose of any Intellectual Property, nor is there any basis
for such a claim. Seller has not received any notice (or is not otherwise aware)

assertion.

of Seller have asserted an ownership interest or other right in or to
any Intellectual Property.

terms, and upon assignment pursuant to this Agreement, will be enforceable by
Purchaser. No party thereto is in default and no claim of default by any party
has been made or is now pending, and no event exists which, with or without the
lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a breach or
default, cause the acceleration of any obligation, permit the termination or
excuse the performance by any party thereto, or would otherwise adversely affect
the Business or the Purchased Assets. Except as noted on Schedule 1.1(b), each
Assumed Contract is assignable by Seller to Purchaser without the consent of any
third party. True and complete copies of the Assumed Contracts, including all
amendments and supplements thereto, have been delivered to

Intent.
With
respect to the Pubco Shares (for the purposes hereof such term shall include any
and all shares or right to receive shares of common stock of the Buyer which

Xxx:
(a) Seller,

that Purchaser is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations set
forth in this Section 2.13.
(b) The Pubco
Shares shall be acquired for such person’s own account, not as nominee or agent,
and not with a view to the resale or other transfer or distribution of any
portion thereof or interest therein in violation of the Act, and such person has
no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
transferring or distributing the Pubco Shares or any portion thereof or interest
therein in violation of the Act. The recipient of the Pubco Shares is
not a registered broker-dealer or an entity engaged in the business of being a
broker-dealer.
(c) Each
recipient of Pubco Shares acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and
complete loss of its investment in the Pubco Shares, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby. Such
recipient of Pubco Shares must continue to bear the economic risk of the

representations (other than those specifically made in this Agreement) have been
made to Seller, Xxx or Xxx.
7
(g) Seller
understands and agrees that the Pubco Shares are characterized as “restricted
securities” under the Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from Buyer (and
will be exchanged for Pubco shares) in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under the Act and applicable regulations such securities may
not be resold without registration under the Act, or availability of an
exemption therefrom under the Act.
(h) Seller
understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act, and have not
been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state of the
United States. Seller acknowledges that it has no right to require
Purchaser or Pubco register the Shares under the Act or to register or qualify
the Shares under the securities laws of any state of the United States, except
as set forth in this Agreement.
(i) It is
understood that, until the earlier of: (a) registration under the Act or (b) the
time when any of the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act,

THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE]
[CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE

$10,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any claims
arising under clause (iv) of this Section 8.1(a), the limitations set forth in

entitled to recover the entirety of the indemnifiable amounts.

agreement, and (ii) any third party claims in respect of the Business or
Purchased Assets, or relating to the conduct of the Business by the

suffered by the Seller or its Affiliates at any time after the Closing Date in
