Statements; SEC Filings.

JMC’s
financial statements contained in its periodic reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, (the “Financial
Statements”)
have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”)
applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other,
except that those of the Financial Statements that are not audited do not
contain all footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. The Financial Statements fairly
present the financial condition and operating results of JMC as of the dates,
and for the periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, JMC has no
material liabilities (contingent or otherwise). JMC is not a guarantor or

Act,

respects. None of the Public Reports, as of their respective dates, contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading. The Form 10-SB,
at
the time it became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading. The financial statements, including the notes thereto,
included in the Public Reports have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and present
fairly the financial condition of JMC as of such dates and the results of
operations of JMC for such periods; provided, however, that the financial
statements for all interim periods are subject to normal year-end adjustments
and lack certain footnotes and other presentation items otherwise required
by
GAAP. To the knowledge of JMC there is no event, fact or circumstance that
would
cause any certification signed by any officer of JMC in connection with any
Public Report pursuant to the Sarbanes/Oxley Act to be untrue, inaccurate or
incorrect in any respect. The Common Stock of JMC covered by the Form 10-SB
is
validly, properly and effectively registered under the Exchange Act in
accordance with all applicable federal securities laws and trades on the OTC
Bulletin Board. There is no revocation order, suspension order, injunction
or
other proceeding or law affecting the effectiveness of JMC’s Exchange Act
registration or the trading of its Common Stock. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not conflict with and will not
result in any violation of any NASD or OTC Bulletin Board trading requirement
or
standard applicable to JMC or its Common Stock.

JMC

notify Xxxxx X. Little (“Little”)
in
writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration
statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of
securities of JMC (including, but not limited to, registration statements
relating to secondary offerings of securities of JMC, but excluding (i)
registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan, (ii) registration
statements covering the issuance or resale of securities issued in or with
respect to any corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of
the Securities Act, and (iii) registration statements related to stock issued
upon conversion of debt securities) and will afford Little an opportunity to
include in such registration statement up to 116,000 shares of JMC Common Stock
(the “Little
Shares”).
In
the event that Little desires to include all or any part of the Little Shares
in
any such registration statement, he shall, within fifteen (15) days after the
above-described notice from JMC, so notify JMC in writing. Such notice shall
state the intended method of disposition of the Little Shares. If Little decides
not to include all of the Little Shares its in any registration statement
thereafter filed by JMC, Little shall nevertheless continue to have the right
to
include all or part of the Little Shares in any subsequent registration
statement or registration statements as may be filed by JMC with respect to
offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
16
(a) Underwriting.
If the
registration statement under which JMC gives notice under this Section 5.7
is for an underwritten offering, JMC shall so advise Little, and in such event,
Little’s right to be included in a registration pursuant to this
Section 5.7 shall be conditioned upon Little’s participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of the Little Shares in the underwriting to
the
extent provided herein. If Little proposes to distribute the Little Shares
through such underwriting, he shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by JMC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if
JMC or the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require
a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares
that
may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to JMC; second,
to the holders of registrable securities of JMC (including Little with respect
to the Little Shares) on a
pro
rata
basis
based on the total number of registrable securities held by those holders;
and
third, to any stockholder of JMC (other than a holder of registrable securities)
on a
pro
rata
basis;
provided,
however,
if such
offering is the Initial Offering, all registrable securities (including the
Little Shares) may be excluded from the Initial Offering. If Little disapproves
of the terms of any such underwriting, Little may elect to withdraw therefrom
by
written notice to JMC and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business
days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Little
Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and
withdrawn from the registration.
(b) Right
to Terminate Registration.
JMC
shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by
it
under this Section 5.7 prior to the effectiveness of such registration
whether or not Little or any other holder of registrable securities has elected
to include securities in such registration. The registration expenses of such
withdrawn registration shall be borne by JMC.

Section

by JMC .
JMC,
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, shall indemnify and hold
harmless each of Zhang, Innomind and The Innomind Trust, together with their
respective officers, directors, agents and employees, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"),
as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject
to appeal or review, arising out of or in connection with: (i) the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement by JMC; or (ii) any violation or
breach by JMC of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of JMC;
or
(iii) any representation or warranty of JMC contained in this Agreement being
or
becoming untrue.
Section
6.2 Indemnification
by Zhang and Innomind.
Each of
Zhang and Innomind shall severally indemnify and hold harmless JMC and JMC’s
directors, officers, agents and employees, to the fullest extent permitted
by
applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review)
arising out of or in connection with: (i) the execution, delivery or performance
of this Agreement by JMC; or (ii) any violation or breach by Zhang and/or
Innomind of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of JMC; or
(iii)
any representation or warranty of Zhang and/or Innomind contained in this
Agreement being or becoming untrue.
Section
6.3 Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
If any
lawsuit, arbitration or other judicial or administrative proceeding (a
“Proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted against any individual or entity (a
“Person”) entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such
Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought
(the "Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
and
expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure
of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except
(and
only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced
the
Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed
in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or
(iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such parties
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense
of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All
fees
and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses
to
the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend
such
Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to
the
Indemnified Party within ten (10) business days of written notice thereof to
the
Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that
an
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided,
that the Indemnified Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the
extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder).
18
Section
6.4 Contribution.
If a
claim for indemnification under Section 6.1 or 6.2 is due but unavailable to
an
Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority
to
enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public
policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying
such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party
on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the Share Exchange
and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If, but only if, the
allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the
foregoing sentence but also the relative fault, as applicable, of the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions,
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying
Party
and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or
prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 6.3, any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees
or
expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available
to
such party in accordance with its terms. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying
Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the law.
