is true and correct:

2.1  Ownership of CDC Stock. The Sellers collectively own all of the outstanding
equity of the Company and each has the full right and authority to transfer the
CDC Stock owned by such Seller as set forth on Schedule B hereto. The CDC Stock

2.2  CDC Financial Statements. The financial statements of CDC for the two year
period ended December 2005, and for the three month period ended March 31, 2006,
fairly and accurately present the Company’s asset and liabilities, financial
results and overall financial condition.

 
2.3  No Adverse Changes. Other than as set forth on Schedule 2.3 attached hereto
or as is generally known to the Sellers, since March 31, 2006, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, customer base, expense rates, regulatory environment, competitive
environment, intellectual property or prospects of CDC or its business, and CDC
has operated its business in the ordinary course of business. No Seller knows of
any reason that any such materially adverse change should reasonably be expected
in the future.

2.4  No Claims; ERISA. Other than as set forth on Schedule 2.4 attached hereto
and incorporated herein by this reference, there are no claims or litigation,

reasonable wear and tear excepted, and all of which intangible assets CDC has
the right to use. All of the Intellectual Property is owned or licensed by CDC,

without limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge
that CDC is a “subchapter S” corporation for federal tax purposes and

4.5 Indemnification.

4.5.1 General. Each party hereto will indemnify each other party for any losses,
damages or expenses arising from, related to or resulting from any breach (or
third party claim of breach) of any representation, warranty or covenant in this
Agreement.

4.5.2 Procedure. Promptly upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of a notice of a
claim by a third party that may give rise to a claim under this Section, the
Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party,
although failure to do so shall not affect the right to indemnification except
to the extent of actual prejudice. The Indemnified Party shall allow the
Indemnifying Party to assume control of the defense of any such action brought
by a third party provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party delivers to the
Indemnified Party an agreement in writing to defend such claim at its sole cost
and expense within five (5) business days of notice from Indemnified Party, (ii)
the Indemnifying Party is financially capable for providing indemnification for
such claim, and (iii) the defense will be conducted by reputable attorneys
reasonably approved by the Indemnified Party (retained by the Indemnifying Party
at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense). The Indemnified Party will
have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be separately
represented by attorneys of its own choosing at its own cost unless the
interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the action
conflict in such a manner and to such an extent as to require, consistent with
applicable standards of professional responsibility, the retention of separate
counsel for the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will pay
for one separate counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party.

4.5.3 Limits on Settlement. The Indemnifying Party may contest or settle such
claim on such terms as the Indemnifying Party may choose, provided that the
Indemnifying Party will not have the right, without the Indemnified Party's
written consent, to settle any such claim if such settlement (i) arises from or
is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding, (ii) contains a stipulation
to, confession of judgment with respect to, or admission or acknowledgement of,
any liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, (iii) relates
to any federal, state or local tax matters, or (iv) provides for injunctive
relief, or other relief other than damages, which is binding on the Indemnified
Party.

Sellers who are personal guarantors of the operating lease for CDC’s
headquarters and operating facility located at 20710 Lansing Street, Chatsworth,
California for any claims, damages or losses incurred by a Seller due to the
Company’s breach of any term or condition of the lease after the Closing. In the
