knowledge, no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened
by
the SEC. QLI has not, and the past and present officers, directors and

fees or commissions, or to reimburse any expenses of any broker, finder,
investment banker or agent in connection with this Agreement.
4.24 Internal
Accounting Controls.
QLI
maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv)
the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets
at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.
QLI has
established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for QLI and designed such disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that material information relating to QLI is made known
to
the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during
the
period in which QLI’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the case may be, is being
prepared. QLI’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of QLI’s
controls and procedures as of end of the filing period prior to the filing
date
of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 (such date, the
“Evaluation
Date”).
QLI
presented in its most recently filed Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB the conclusions
of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since
the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in QLI’s internal
controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the
Exchange Act) or, to QLI’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly
affect QLI’s internal controls.
4.25 Listing
and Maintenance Requirements.
QLI is
currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and QLI has not, in the 12 months
preceding the date hereof, received any notice from the OTC Bulletin Board
or
the NASD or any trading market on which QLI’s common stock is or has been listed
or quoted to the effect that QLI is not in compliance with the quoting, listing
or maintenance requirements of the OTCBB or such other trading market. QLI
is,
and has no reason to believe that it will not, in the foreseeable future
continue to be, in compliance with all such quoting, listing and maintenance
requirements.
4.26 Application
of Takeover Protections.
QLI and
its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to
render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison
pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under QLI’s certificate or articles of incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is
or
could become applicable to QPC or QPC Stockholders as a result of the
Acquisition or the exercise of any rights by QPC or QPC Stockholders pursuant
to
this Agreement.
13
4.27 No
SEC
or NASD Inquiries.
For the
period of five years prior to the execution of this Agreement, no executive
officer, director or principal stockholder of QPC has been convicted of a felony
crime, filed for personal bankruptcy, been the subject of a Commission or NASD
judgment or decree issued during this time period, or is currently the subject
to any investigation in connection with a felony crime or Commission or NASD
proceeding.
