Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, with full corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its business and properties and to
carry on its business in the places and in the manner as presently
conducted. The Company is duly qualified and in good standing as a

directly or indirectly, any capital stock, equity or interest in any
corporation, firm, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

authority over the disposition of the Shares. The Shares are free and
clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, and charges. The Shares
have not been sold, conveyed, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred
by Seller except pursuant to this Agreement. Seller has the legal
right to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
otherwise to carry out his obligations hereunder. This Agreement
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Seller. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement does not
violate any contractual restriction contained in any agreement which binds or
affects or purports to bind or affect the Seller. Seller is not a
party to any agreement, written or oral, creating rights in respect of any of
such Shares in any third party or relating to the voting of its
Shares. Seller is not a party to any outstanding or authorized
options, warrants, rights, calls, commitments, conversion rights, rights of
exchange or other agreements of any character, contingent or otherwise,
providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any of the Shares, and there are

securities or “blue sky” laws. Seller acknowledges that Seller has
been advised that Buyer or others may take various actions including actions
which result in the Shares greatly increasing in value and that by executing
this agreement, Seller expressly waives any and all right to participate in any
way in any such increase in value of the shares of the Company. Those
creditors listed in the Disclosure Schedules are the only individuals or
entities with any claims against the Company. Other than as set forth
on the Disclosure Schedules, the Company does not have any obligations or
liabilities of any nature (matured or unmatured, fixed or
contingent).
2.2 No Conflicts or
Defaults. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and
shall not (a) contravene the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the
Company or (b) with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
time (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of, or a
default or loss of rights under, any material covenant, agreement, mortgage,
indenture, lease, instrument, commitment, arrangement, permit or license to
which the Seller or the Company is a party or by which the Seller or the Company
is bound (each a “Contract”), or any judgment, order or decree, or any federal,
state or other statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation to which the Seller
or the Company is subject, (ii) result in the creation of, or give any party the
right to create, any mortgage, security interest, lien, charge, easement, lease,
sublease, covenant, option, claim, restriction or encumbrance or any other right
or adverse interest (“Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company, (iii) terminate or give any party the right to terminate, amend,
abandon or refuse to perform, any Contract to which the Seller or the Company is
a party or by which the Company’s assets are bound, or (iv) accelerate or

INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification.
(a) Obligation of Seller to
Indemnify. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Buyer (and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates,
stockholders, debenture holders, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns) from
and against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses
(including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees
and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) based upon, arising out of or
otherwise in respect of any (i) inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of
the Seller contained in this Agreement or (ii) breach by the Seller of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(b) Obligation of Buyer to
Indemnify. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Seller from and against all Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in
respect of any (i) inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Buyer
contained in this Agreement or (ii) breach by the Buyer of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement.
(c) Notice and Opportunity to
Defend. Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to
indemnity under this Agreement (an “Indemnitee”) of notice of any demand, claim
or circumstances which, with the lapse of time, would or might give rise to a
claim or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding
or investigation (an “Asserted Liability”) that may result in a Loss, the
Indemnitee shall give notice thereof (the “Claims Notice”) to any other party
(or parties) who is or may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.1(a) (the “Indemnifying Party”). The Claims Notice shall
describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and shall indicate the
amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has
been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
11
(d) The
Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by
its own counsel, any Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within 30 days
after the date the Claims Notice is given (or sooner, if the nature of the
Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so,
and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in
the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If
the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the Asserted
Liability, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or
contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may
pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability and all reasonable expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee in defending or compromising such Asserted Liability,
all amounts required to be paid in connection with any such Asserted Liability
pursuant to the determination of any court, governmental or regulatory body or
arbitrator, and amounts required to be paid in connection with any compromise or
settlement consented to by the Indemnitee, shall be borne by the Indemnifying
Party. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any claim over the
objection of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, the Indemnitee and
the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in (but the
Indemnitee may not control) the defense of such Asserted
Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the
Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or
other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such
defense.

transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
