Webdigs has established disclosure controls and procedures for Webdigs and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Webdigs is made known to the officers by others within those entities. Webdigs’ officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Webdigs’ controls and procedures. Since the date of the most recent audited financial statements included in the Webdigs SEC Documents, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or, to Webdigs’ knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect Webdigs’ internal controls.

SECTION 2.25. Listed Shares. Webdigs’ common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “WBDG”. Webdigs is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing or quotation of its common stock on the trading market on which its common stock is currently listed or quoted. The issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares under this Agreement does not contravene the rules and regulations of the trading market on which Webdigs’ common stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the stockholders of Webdigs is required for Webdigs to issue and deliver to Next 1 the Preferred Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 2.26. Full Disclosure. The representations and warranties of Webdigs contained in this Agreement (and in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or other instrument to be delivered under or pursuant to this Agreement) are true and correct in all material respects, and such representations and warranties do not omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact of which Webdigs has knowledge that has not been disclosed to Next 1 pursuant to this Agreement, including the schedules hereto, all taken together as a whole, which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Webdigs or Next 1 (or Subsidiary) or materially adversely affect the ability of Webdigs to consummate in a timely manner the transactions contemplated hereby.
