--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
III. BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Buyer represents and warrants
to Seller and Modigene that:
 
3.1 Capacity and Enforceability. Buyer has the legal capacity to execute and
deliver this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by Buyer
at the Closing pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement
and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Buyer,
enforceable in accordance with their terms.
 
3.2 Compliance. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyer will result in the
breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, or violate
any agreement, indenture, instrument, order, law or regulation to which Buyer is
a party or by which Buyer is bound.
 
3.3 Purchase for Investment. Buyer is financially able to bear the economic
risks of acquiring an interest in LLC and the other transactions contemplated
hereby, and has no need for liquidity in this investment. Buyer has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and with
respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of LLC so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business
decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Units. Buyer is acquiring the
Units solely for its own account and not with a view to or for resale in
connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning
of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or
offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyer
has (i) received all the information it has deemed necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Units; (ii) had an
opportunity to make such investigation as it has desired pertaining to LLC and
the acquisition of an interest therein and to verify the information which is,
and has been, made available to him; and (iii) had the opportunity to ask
questions of Seller concerning LLC. Buyer acknowledges that Buyer or an
affiliate of Buyer is an officer and/or director of Seller and LLC and, as such,
has actual knowledge of the business, operations and financial affairs of LLC.
Buyer has received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the
offer or sale of the Units. Buyer realizes that the Units are “restricted
securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Units is
restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Units must
be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their
resale. Buyer understands that any resale of the Units by him must be registered
under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be
effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for LLC at the time,
create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the
Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyer acknowledges and
consents that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Units will bear a
legend substantially as follows:
 
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER
ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND
QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE
EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144
THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE
SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH
OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT
VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.
 
-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Buyer understands that the Units are being sold to it pursuant to the exemption
from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that the
Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for
claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.
 
3.4 Liabilities. Following the Closing, Seller will have no liability for any
debts, liabilities or obligations of LLC or its business or activities, and
there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of
credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by
Seller directly or indirectly in relation to LLC or its business and that may
survive the Closing.
 
3.5 Title to Purchase Price Shares. Buyer is the sole record and beneficial
owner of the Purchase Price Shares. At Closing, Buyer will have good and
marketable title to the Purchase Price Shares, which Purchase Price Shares are,
and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges,
claims, liens, and encumbrances and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting
or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as
contemplated by applicable securities laws.
 
IV. SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Seller represents and warrants to
LLC and Buyers that:
 
4.1 Organization and Good Standing. Seller is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
 
4.2 Authority and Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the documents to be executed and delivered at the Closing pursuant to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and performance in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof, have been duly authorized by Seller and all such documents
constitute the valid and binding agreements of Seller enforceable in accordance
with their terms.
 
4.3 Title to Units. Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Units.
At Closing, Seller will have good and marketable title to the Units, which Units
are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants,
pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations
prohibiting or restricting transfer to Buyers, except for restrictions on

stockholders, agents, representatives and affiliates (collectively, together
with Seller, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and after the
date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages,
claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs
and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third
party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party
(collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result
of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of any
Buyer set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith,

obligation of LLC, (iv) the conduct and operations of the business of LLC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
12.2 Third Party Claims.
 
(a) Defense. If any claim or liability should be asserted against any of the
Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party (a “Third-Party
Claim”) after the Closing for which Buyers have an indemnification obligation
under the terms of Section 12.1, then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyers and LLC
(collectively referred to as the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the
Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred
to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take
part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to
such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and
in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating
thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the
Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations,
proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party
Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the
defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim
Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the
conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party Claim, and
shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the
defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such
defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor
shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with
respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the
Indemnitor. Except as provided on subsection (b) below, both the Indemnitor and
the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third Party Claim. A failure by
the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from
any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is
materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense
of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of
such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such
defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the
Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may
deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim on such
terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the
Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and
otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or
settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim
is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to
such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all
expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against
such Third-Party Claim.
 
12.3 Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyers have
an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not
involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyers
of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyers such notice within 30 days of
such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to
Buyers shall not excuse Buyers from any indemnification liability except to the
extent that Buyers are materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.2 Exercise of Rights and Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to
any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this
Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be
construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of
any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any waiver of any
single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
occurring before or after that waiver.
 
13.3 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
 
13.4 Reformation and Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall, to the extent possible, be
modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to most
nearly retain the intent of the parties, and if such modification is not
possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement, and in either
case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
13.5 Further Acts. Seller, Buyers and LLC shall execute any and all documents
and perform such other acts which may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the
purposes of this Agreement.
 
13.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter contained herein.
This Agreement cannot be amended or changed except through a written instrument
signed by all of the parties hereto, including Modigene. No provisions of this
Agreement or any rights hereunder may be waived by any party without the prior
written consent of Modigene.
 
13.7 Assignment. No party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder, in
whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other parties.
 
13.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts or choice of laws thereof.
 
13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. Each such
counterpart shall be an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall
constitute a single agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is
executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature
page was an original thereof.

13.10 Section Headings and Gender. The Section headings used herein are inserted
for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement
shall include the other genders, whether used in the masculine, feminine or
neuter, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, whenever and
as often as may be appropriate.
 
13.11 Specific Performance; Remedies. Each of Seller, Buyers and LLC
acknowledges and agrees that Modigene would be damaged irreparably if any
provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific
terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of Seller, Buyers and LLC
agrees that Modigene will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any
court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the
parties and the matter, subject to Section 13.8, in addition to any other remedy
to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided
herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this Agreement are
cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or remedies
otherwise available at law or in equity, and nothing herein will be considered
an election of remedies.
 
13.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Process Agent; No Jury Trial.
 
(a) Each party to the Agreement hereby submits to the jurisdiction of any state
or federal court sitting in the State of New York, in any action arising out of
or relating to this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of the
action may be heard and determined in any such court. Each party to the
Agreement also agrees not to bring any action arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any other court. Each party to the Agreement agrees that a final
judgment in any action so brought will be conclusive and may be enforced by
action on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law or in equity. Each
party to the Agreement waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any action so brought and waives any bond, surety, or other
security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto.
 
(b) EACH PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO JURY TRIAL
OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS
AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. The scope of this
waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all actions that may be
filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of the transactions,
including, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other
common law and statutory claims. Each party to the Agreement hereby acknowledges
that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship
and that they will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future
dealings. Each party to the Agreement further represents and warrants that it
has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
counsel. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE
WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO. In the
event of commencement of any action, this Agreement may be filed as a written
consent to trial by a court.

13.13 Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted
jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise
favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of
this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will
be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words
“include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation.” The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and
not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties
hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein
will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact
that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the
same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which
that party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such
party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
