As soon as practicable (but in any event within twenty (20) days) after the filing of Pubco’s Form 20 F/10-K annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, Pubco’s Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) will: (a) prepare and deliver to the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative a written statement (each, an “Earn-Out Statement”) that sets forth the CFO’s determination of the 2017 EBITDA in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 2, and (b) which states whether Contributors are entitled to receive Earn-Out Shares and if so, the number of Earnout-Shares to which the Contributors are entitled. Each of the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative will have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Earn-Out Statement to review such Earn-Out Statement. To the extent reasonably required by Contributor Representative or the Pubco Representative to complete its review of such Earn-Out Statement, Pubco and each of its Subsidiaries will provide the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative and their respective Representatives with reasonable access to the books and records of Pubco and its Subsidiaries, their respective finance personnel and any other information that the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative reasonably request relating to the determination of the 2017 EBITDA or the Earn-Out Shares. Either the Pubco Representative or the Contributor Representative may deliver written notice to the CFO (by providing notice to Pubco to the attention of the CFO) on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of the Earn-Out Statement specifying in reasonable detail any items that it wishes to dispute and the basis therefor. If the Pubco Representative or the Contributor Representative fails to deliver such written notice in such thirty (30) day period, then such Party will have waived its right (and, with respect to the Contributor Representative, the right of the Contributors, and, with respect to the Pubco Representative, the right of Pubco or its Subsidiaries) to contest such Earn-Out Statement and the calculations set forth therein. If either the Pubco Representative or the Contributor Representative provides the CFO and the other Party with written notice of any objections to the Earn-Out Statement in such thirty (30) day period, then the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative will, for a period of twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of such notice, attempt to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount will be final and binding for all purposes under this Agreement. If at the conclusion of such twenty (20) day period, the Pubco Representative and Contributor Representative have not reached an agreement on any objections with respect to the Earn-Out Statement, then upon request of either Party, the Parties will refer the issue to the Independent Auditor. All fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be borne by Pubco. Pubco and Contributor Representative will request that: (i) the Independent Auditor’s determination be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, and (ii) that it be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Pubco Representative and the Contributor Representative. The Independent Auditor’s determination will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error). Pubco hereby agrees during the Earn-Out Period to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a financial reporting system that enables the Parties to calculate the 2017 iOra EBITDA for purposes of this ARTICLE 2.

As of their respective dates, the Pubco SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Pubco SEC Documents. Except to the extent revised or superseded by a subsequent filing with the SEC, none of the Pubco SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of Pubco included in such Pubco SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited consolidated quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of Pubco and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments as determined by Pubco’s independent accountants). Except as set forth in the Pubco SEC Documents, at the date of the most recent financial statements of Pubco included in the Pubco SEC Documents, Pubco has not incurred any Liabilities or monetary obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise).

Pubco has not received any written deficiency notice from the OTCBB relating to the continued quotation of such Pubco common stock and there are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Pubco, threatened against Pubco by FINRA or any other Governmental Entity with respect to any intention by such entity to suspend, prohibit or terminate the quoting of such Pubco common stock on the OTCBB.
(h) The Pubco Closing Balance Sheet is true and correct as of the Closing and accurately reflects that the only Indebtedness and Liabilities of Pubco as of the Closing are the $75,000 amount reflected on the Pubco Closing Balance Sheet, for which Pubco has received payoff letters showing that Pubco shall have no accruals, Indebtedness or Liabilities upon payoff of such $75,000 amount.
5.8. Conduct of Business. Except as disclosed in the Pubco SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof or as set forth on Schedule 5.8 and except for the Transactions, since the Pubco Balance Sheet Date, Pubco has conducted its business only in the ordinary course consistent with past practice in light of its current business circumstances, and there is not and has not been any condition, event or occurrence which could reasonably be expected to prevent, hinder or materially delay the ability of Pubco to consummate the Transactions or which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect on Pubco.

5.13. Benefit Plans. Since December 31, 2014, Pubco has not had or been a party to, any Benefit Plan.
5.14. Tax Returns and Tax Payments.
(a) Pubco and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (taking into account all applicable extensions). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. All Taxes due and owing by Pubco and each of its Subsidiaries has been paid (whether or not shown on any Tax Return and whether or not any Tax Return was required). Neither Pubco nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The unpaid Taxes of Pubco did not and have not, as of and since the Pubco Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the Pubco Balance Sheet Date, neither Pubco nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any Liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of Pubco and its Subsidiaries will not exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of Pubco.
(b) No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a Lien against the property of Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries or is being asserted against Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries, no audit of any Tax Return of Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries and is currently in effect.

5.15. Material Agreements. All of the contracts and agreements material to Pubco are filed as exhibits to the Pubco SEC Documents (“Pubco Material Agreements”).
5.16. Material Agreement Defaults. Pubco is not in Material Agreement Default and has not received any notice and has no Knowledge that any other party is, in Material Agreement Default under any Pubco Material Agreement; and there has not occurred any event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a Material Agreement Default.
5.17. Operations and Accounts Receivable. Since December 31, 2009, Pubco has not had any operations or accounts receivable.
5.18. Properties. Neither Pubco nor any Subsidiary of Pubco owns or has ever owned any real property or any interest in real property (other than the leasehold interests in the Pubco Real Property Leases, defined below). Schedule 5.18 contains a complete and accurate list of all premises currently leased or subleased or otherwise used or occupied by Pubco, and of all current leases, lease guarantees, agreements and documents related thereto, including all amendments, terminations and modifications thereof or waivers thereto (“Pubco Real Property Leases”), as well as the current annual rent and the term under each Pubco Real Property Lease. Pubco has provided to iOra and Contributors a true and complete copy of each of the Pubco Real Property Leases, and in the case of any oral Pubco Real Property Lease, a written summary of the material terms of such Pubco Real Property Lease. The Pubco Real Property Leases are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and are in full force and effect. To the Knowledge of Pubco, no event has occurred which (whether with or without notice, lapse of time or both or the happening or occurrence of any other event) would constitute a default on the part of Pubco or any other party under any of the Pubco Real Property Leases, and Pubco has not received notice of any such condition. Each of Pubco and its Subsidiaries has valid land use rights for all real property that is material to its business and good, clear and marketable title to all the tangible properties and tangible Assets reflected in the latest balance sheet as being owned by Pubco or acquired after the date thereof which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to Pubco’s business (except properties sold or otherwise disposed of since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of all Material Liens, encumbrances, claims, security interest, options and restrictions of any nature whatsoever.
15 |
5.19. Intellectual Property. Neither Pubco nor any of its Subsidiaries (if any) own any Intellectual Property.
5.20. Board Determination. The Board of Directors of Pubco has unanimously determined that the terms of the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of Pubco and its stockholders.
5.21. Issuance of Contribution Consideration. The issuance of the Contribution Consideration by Pubco will be in compliance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pubco and applicable Law. The Contribution Consideration will be, upon issuance in accordance with this Agreement, duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens, and the Contributors shall become the owners of all right, title and interest thereto. As of the Closing, the number of Pubco Common Shares outstanding on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, and the percentage ownership thereof, shall be as set forth on the Closing Pubco Capitalization Table on Exhibit C, which shall represent all of the outstanding securities of Pubco as of the Closing (on an as-converted and fully diluted basis).
