alleged default with respect to: (a) any applicable law, rule, regulation

or complaints, in the files of PVAXX made by or against PVAXX during the

administrative proceeding, order, judgment, decree or settlement alleging

minute books are true and correct in all material respects.
2:1:19 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA.
Except as set forth in Section 2:1:19 PVAXX has no other benefit plans (the
"Benefit Plans") within the meaning of the applicable provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the
Code and other applicable laws to the best of PVAXX's knowledge.
2:1:19:1 PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS.
To the knowledge of PVAXX and all its subsidiaries, PVAXX or any of its
subsidiaries have not engaged in a transaction in connection with which it
could be subject (either directly or indirectly) to a material liability
for either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or
a tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code.
2:1:19:2 PLAN TERMINATION; MATERIAL LIABILITIES.
To the best of PVAXX's knowledge, there has been no termination of an
"employee pension benefit plan" as defined in ERISA which is subject to
Title IV of ERISA (a "Statutory Plan") or trust created under any Statutory
Plan that would give rise to a material liability to the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") on the part of PVAXX or any of its
subsidiaries. To the best knowledge of PVAXX and all of its subsidiaries,
all statutory Plans intended to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) or
403(a) of the Code have complied in the past, both in form and operation,
with every provision of the Code, regulation promulgated pursuant thereto,
and every ruling, notice or announcement issued by the Internal Revenue
Service necessary to maintain the qualified status of such Statutory
Plans, except where non compliance would not have a material adverse effect
on PVAXX or any of its subsidiaries. No material liability to the PBGC has
been or is expected to be incurred with respect to any Statutory Plan. The
PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Statutory Plan. To the
best knowledge of PVAXX and all of its subsidiaries, there exists no
condition or set of circumstances which presents a material risk of
termination or partial termination of any Statutory Plan by the PBGC.
2:1:19:3 ACCUMULATED FUNDING DEFICIENCY.
To the best of PVAXX's knowledge, full payment has been made of all
amounts, if any, which are required under the terms of each statutory plan,
ERISA or other applicable laws to have been paid as contributions to such
Statutory Plan, and no accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in
Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived,
exists with respect to any Statutory Plan.
2:1:19:4 RELATIONSHIP OF BENEFITS TO PENSION PLAN ASSETS.
To the best of PVAXX's knowledge, the current value of all accrued
benefits, both vested and unvested, under all Statutory Plans does not
exceed the current value of the assets of such Statutory Plans allocable
to such accrued benefits, except as disclosed in the financial statements
described in Section 2:1:19. For purposes of the representation in this
Section 2:1:19:4, the term "current value" has the meaning specified in
Section 4062(b)(1)(A) of ERISA, the term "accrued benefit" has the meaning
specified in Section 3 of ERISA and "current value" is based upon the same
actuarial assumptions used by OAK BROOK.
2:1:19:5 EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS.
To the best of PVAXX's knowledge, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby will not involve any transaction which is
subject to the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA or in connection with
which a tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code.
2:1:19:6 FIDUCIARY LIABILITY.
To the best of PVAXX and its subsidiaries' knowledge, there have been no
acts, failures to act, omissions or transactions involving a Statutory Plan
or the assets thereof which could result in imposition on PVAXX or its
subsidiaries (whether direct or indirect) of material damages or liability
in actions brought under Section 502 or Sections 404 through 409 of ERISA.
2:1:19:7 PENDING CLAIMS.
To the best of PVAXX and its subsidiaries knowledge, there are no claims,
pending or overtly threatened, involving any of the Benefit Plans by any
current or former employee (or beneficiary thereof) of PVAXX which allege
any material violation of ERISA or the terms of the Benefit Plans, nor is
there any reasonable basis to anticipate any such claims involving such
Benefit Plans which would likely be successfully maintained against PVAXX
or any of it subsidiaries.
2:1:19:8 MULTIEMPLOYER PLANS.
To the best of PVAXX's knowledge, neither PVAXX nor any trade or business
(whether or not incorporated) which together with PVAXX or any its
subsidiaries would be deemed to be a "single employer" within the meaning
of Section 400(b) of ERISA or Subsections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the
Code sponsors, maintains, or contributes to, or has at any time in the six
year period proceeding the date of this Agreement sponsored, maintained or
contributed to, any place (not exempt from the provisions of ERISA),
including, but not limited to, any plan which is a "multiemployer plan" as
such term is defined in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.
2:1:19:9 NO REPORTABLE EVENT.
To the best of PVAXX or any of its subsidiaries' knowledge, there has been
no "reportable event" (within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA with
respect to a Statutory Plan) or any "prohibited transaction" (as such term
is defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975(c) of the Code) with
respect to any of the Employee Plans. All reporting and disclosure
requirements under Title I of ERISA have been met.
2:1:20 NO UNDISCLOSED DEFAULTS.
To the best knowledge of PVAXX and any of its subsidiaries, neither PVAXX
or any of its subsidiaries is not in material default with respect to any
obligation, agreement or covenant to be performed by it under any contract
or arrangement of any kind, which default would have a material adverse
effect on PVAXX or any of its subsidiaries.

effect on the business of OAK BROOK and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
OAK BROOK is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties,

are attached hereto as Section 3:1:1 of the Disclosure Schedule.

used by OAK BROOK in its business, other than solely by and through
ownership of the capital stock of OAK BROOK.
3:1:17 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA.
Each benefit plan set forth in Section 3:1:17 of the Disclosure Schedule
(collectively the "Benefit Plans") substantially complies with the
applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), the Code and other applicable laws. Except as
provided in Section 3:1:17 of the Disclosure Schedule, all contributions
required to be made to each Benefit Plan under the terms of such Benefit
Plans, ERISA or other applicable laws have been timely made. Except as
provided in Section 3:1:17 of the Disclosure Schedule.
3:1:17:1 PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS.
To the knowledge of OAK BROOK, OAK BROOK has not engaged in a transaction
in connection with which it could be subject (either directly or
indirectly) to a material liability for either a civil penalty assessed
pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed by Section 4975 of
the Code.
3:1:17:2 PLAN TERMINATION; MATERIAL LIABILITIES.
There has been no termination of an "employee pension benefit plan" as
defined in ERISA which is subject to Title IV of ERISA (a "Statutory Plan")
or trust created under any Statutory Plan that would give rise to a
material liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") on
the part of OAK BROOK. To the best knowledge of OAK BROOK, all OAK BROOK
statutory Plans intended to be tax-qualified under Section 401(a) or 403(a)
of the Code have complied in the past, both in form and operation, with
every provision of the Code, regulation promulgated pursuant thereto, and
every ruling, notice or announcement issued by the Internal Revenue
Service necessary to maintain the qualified status of such Statutory
Plans, except where non-compliance would not have a material adverse effect
on OAK BROOK. No material liability to the PBGC has been or is expected to
be incurred with respect to any Statutory Plan. The PBGC has not instituted
proceedings to terminate any Statutory Plan. To the best knowledge of OAK
BROOK, there exists no condition or set of circumstances which presents a
material risk of termination or partial termination of any Statutory Plan
by the PBGC.

Except as provided in Section 3:1:17:3 of the Disclosure Schedule, full
payment has been made of all amounts which are required under the terms of
each statutory plan, ERISA or other applicable laws to have been paid as
contributions to such Statutory Plan, and no accumulated funding
deficiency (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the
Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Statutory Plan.
3:1:17:4 RELATIONSHIP OF BENEFITS TO PENSION PLAN ASSETS.
The current value of all accrued benefits, both vested and unvested, under
all Statutory Plans does not exceed the current value of the assets of
such Statutory Plans allocable to such accrued benefits, except as
disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 3:1:17. For
purposes of the representation in this Section 3:1:17:4, the term "current
value" has the meaning specified in Section 4062(b)(1)(A) of ERISA, the
term "accrued benefit" has the meaning specified in Section 3 of ERISA and
"current value" is based upon the same actuarial assumptions used by OAK
BROOK.
3:1:17:5 EXECUTION OF AGREEMENTS.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents,
and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby will not
involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of Section 406
of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to
Section 4975 of the Code.
3:1:17:6 FIDUCIARY LIABILITY.

thereof which could result in imposition on OAK BROOK (whether direct or
indirect) of material damages or liability in actions brought under Section
502 or Sections 404 through 409 of ERISA.
3:1:17:7 PENDING CLAIMS.
To the best of OAK BROOK's knowledge, there are no claims, pending or
overtly threatened, involving any of the Benefit Plans by any current or
former employee (or beneficiary thereof) of OAK BROOK which allege any
material violation of ERISA or the terms of the Benefit Plans, nor is there
any reasonable basis to anticipate any such claims involving such Benefit
Plans which would likely be successfully maintained against OAK BROOK.
3:1:17:8 MULTIEMPLOYER PLANS.
Except as may be set forth in Schedule 3:1:17 of the Disclosure Schedule,
neither OAK BROOK nor any trade or business (whether or not incorporated)
which together with OAK BROOK would be deemed to be a "single employer"
within the meaning of Section 400(b) of ERISA or Subsections 414(b), (c),
(m) or (o) of the Code sponsors, maintains, or contributes to, or has at
any time in the six year period proceeding the date of this Agreement
sponsored, maintained or contributed to, any place (not exempt from the
provisions of ERISA), including, but not limited to, any plan which is a
"multiemployer plan" as such term is defined in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3)
of ERISA.
3:1:17:9 NO REPORTABLE EVENT.
To the best of OAK BROOK's knowledge, there has been no "reportable event"
(within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA with respect to a
Statutory Plan) or any "prohibited transaction" (as such term is defined in
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975(c) of the Code) with respect to any
of the Employee Plans. All reporting and disclosure requirements under
Title I of ERISA have been met.

respect to any obligation, agreement or covenant to be performed by it

OAK BROOK is not delinquent in the payment of any material tax, assessment
or governmental charge, and no deficiencies for any taxes have been
proposed, asserted, or formally assessed against OAK BROOK, and no requests
for waivers of the time to assess any such tax are pending, the OAK BROOK
Financials reflect an adequate accrual, based on the facts and
circumstances existing as of the date hereof, for all material taxes
payable by OAK BROOK (whether or not shown in any return) through the date
thereof. Except as set forth in Section 3:1:19 of the Disclosure Schedule,
all tax returns and taxes for periods after December 31, 1999 have or will
be filed and paid by OAK BROOK on a timely basis, unless said taxes are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

any Government Entity to which OAK BROOK is a party or by which OAK BROOK

prospects, properties, assets, profits or condition of OAK BROOK. To the
best knowledge of OAK BROOK, OAK BROOK is not delinquent with respect to

to which OAK BROOK is a party, which delinquency might materially and
adversely affect the business, operations, affairs, prospects, properties,
assets, profits, conditions of OAK BROOK.

Schedule sets forth true, correct and complete copies of all material

OAK BROOK during the past three years pursuant to Environmental
Requirements or Health or Safety Requirements (other than those documents
which OAK BROOK has determined, in good faith and after consultation with
counsel, should remain protected by the attorney-client privilege). At
present, to the best of OAK BROOK's knowledge, none of the operations of
OAK BROOK or OAK BROOK Subsidiary is subject to any judicial or

which, together with future payments under all other agreements, contracts,
