Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of ZOSN as the new owner of such ESEL Stock in the share register of ESEL, ZOSN will receive good title to such ESEL Stock, free and clear of all Liens.

All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement, to deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement is limited by general equitable principles, or by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.


     2.4.   No Conflicts.

     2.9.   Non-Registration.  The Shareholder understands that the ZOSN Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder's 's representations as expressed herein.
