corporation duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each Seller is duly licensed or
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing
under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which the character of the
properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the transaction of
business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Sellers.
AUTHORITY RELATIVE TO AGREEMENTS. Sellers have the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and all Ancillary Documents, and to
carry out their obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document, and the
consummation of the transactions provided for herein and therein, have
been duly authorized by the unanimous consent of the respective Boards of
Directors of Sellers and do not violate any provision of the respective
Certificates of Incorporation or Bylaws of Sellers. The execution by
Sellers of this Agreement and each Ancillary Document, and the
consummation of the transactions provided for hereby and thereby, will not
conflict with or effect a breach, violation, default, or cause an event of
default, under any mortgage, lease, or other material agreement or
instrument, or any statute, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which
Sellers are a party or by which they are bound, or any law or governmental
regulation applicable to Sellers, or require the consent of any Person
(other than the parties to this Agreement). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no notices, reports or other filings are
required to be made by Sellers with, nor are any consents, registrations,
approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by Sellers
from, any government or governmental, regulatory or administrative
authority or agency, domestic or foreign (each, a "GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY"),
in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sellers
and the consummation by Sellers of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. This Agreement and the Ancillary
Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Sellers,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or other laws affecting rights of creditors generally and
general principles of equity, whether applied at law or in equity.
4.03 TAX MATTERS. Sellers have duly and timely filed all Tax returns
and reports required to be filed by Sellers prior to the Closing Date, except to
the extent that any failure or alleged failure to file any Tax return or report
would not have a material adverse effect on Sellers or the Acquired Assets. All
of Sellers' Tax returns and reports are true and complete in all material
respects. Sellers have paid all Taxes shown to be due on the aforesaid Tax
returns and reports. Purchaser shall not become liable for any of Sellers'
liabilities for Taxes as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
no unpaid Taxes of Sellers create any Encumbrance on the Acquired Assets.
4.04. LITIGATION. There is no prosecution, suit, action, arbitration
proceeding or governmental proceeding pending, or to the best Knowledge of
Sellers, threatened, against or affecting Sellers or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. There is not outstanding against Sellers any
decision, judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, arbitrator
or Governmental Entity.

pay any fee or other compensation to any Person engaged by Sellers in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

the originals thereof.
4.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Sellers are in material compliance with all
federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances applicable to its
business and operations.
4.08. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Genesis and/or Camden owns, or are
licensed or otherwise possess legally enforceable rights to use the Acquired
Assets and the Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances.
Sellers do not have any Knowledge and Sellers have not received any notice to
the effect that (i) the use of the Acquired Assets or the Intellectual Property
may infringe on any intellectual property right or other legally protectable
right of another, or (ii) any Person is using any patents, copyrights,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade secrets or similar property that
are confusingly similar with the Acquired Assets or Intellectual Property.
Sellers have not granted any license or other right to any other Person with
respect to the Acquired Assets or Intellectual Property. To the best of Sellers'
Knowledge, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
will not result in the termination or impairment of any of the Acquired Assets
or Intellectual Property. Sellers are not aware of any reason that would prevent
any pending trademark, service xxxx, copyright, patent or other intellectual
property applications required for the use of the Acquired Assets or
Intellectual Property from having registration granted.
4.09. CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS. Sellers have caused each person
currently or formerly employed by Sellers (including independent contractors, if
any) that has or had access to confidential information of Sellers relating
primarily or exclusively to the Acquired Assets or Intellectual Property to
execute and deliver to Sellers a confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment
of inventions agreement in one of the standard forms of Sellers.
4.10. DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty by Sellers in, and no
document, statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit to be furnished or
delivered to Purchaser pursuant to, this Agreement contains or will contain any
material untrue or misleading statement of fact or omits or will omit any fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially
misleading.
4.11. INVESTMENT INTENT. This Agreement is made with Sellers in
reliance upon each Seller's representations to Purchaser, evidenced by each
Seller's execution of this Agreement, that Sellers are acquiring the Common
Stock for investment for Sellers' own accounts, not as nominee or agent, and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public
offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
4.12. COMMON STOCK NOT REGISTERED. Each Seller understand and
acknowledge that the offering of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement will
not be registered under the Securities Act on the grounds that the offering and
sale of securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from registration
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that Purchaser's
reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon Sellers' representations set
forth in this Agreement. Sellers understand and acknowledge that the Common
Stock must be held indefinitely unless the Common Stock is subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available.
4.13. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. Each Seller (i) has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of Sellers' prospective investment in the Common Stock; (ii)
has the ability to bear the economic risk of Sellers' prospective investment;
(iii) has been furnished with and has had access to such information as Sellers
have considered necessary to verify the accuracy of the information supplied;
(iv) has had all questions which have been asked by Sellers satisfactorily
answered by Purchaser; and (v) has not been offered the Common Stock by any form
of advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or
any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any such media.

the purpose of purchasing the Common Stock. Each Seller is an accredited
investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act.
4.15. HOLDING REQUIREMENTS. Sellers understand that if Purchaser does
not have a registration statement covering the Common Stock under the Securities
Act in effect when Sellers decides to sell the Common Stock, Sellers may be
required to hold the Common Stock for an indeterminate period. Sellers also
understands that any sale of the Common Stock that might be made by Sellers in
reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be made only in limited
amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule.
4.16. LEGEND. Sellers understand that each certificate representing the
Common Stock shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in the
following form:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR
UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD
OR OFFERED FOR SALE OR OTHERWISE HYPOTHECATED OR DISTRIBUTED EXCEPT (A)
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE ACT, OR (B) PURSUANT TO A VALID EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER THE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY STATE
AND UPON RECEIPT BY PURCHASER OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO IT THAT ANY SUCH SALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH, OR
NOT SUBJECT TO, THE ACT AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS."
Where applicable, Purchaser shall remove such legend so as to
facilitate the sale of such shares, if and to the extent applicable, pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Act, provided (in the case of Rule 144 sales) that if Sellers
requests such removal, Sellers shall have provided such documentation as

Agreement, the Purchaser hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its
property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. Each Seller hereby irrevocably waives, in connection with any such
action or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any
objection to the venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it
may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in
such respective jurisdictions. Each Seller hereby irrevocably consents to the
service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to it at its address as set forth herein.
10.04. HEADINGS. Article and Section headings used in this Agreement
are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of
this Agreement.

in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or mailed by
certified mail (return receipt requested) to the parties at the following

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor was he or it under any
belief or understanding that such legal counsel was representing his or its
interests. Each party agrees that no conflict, omission or ambiguity in this
