Asset Purchase Agreement
American Scooter and Cycle Rental, Inc. - ZAP WORLD.com



Schedule 2.06

ASCR has good and marketable title to all of the Assets set forth in Exhibit A.




Schedule 2.07

The only pending or threatened legal action asserted against ASCR is the matter
of Boop v. American Scooter and Cycle Rental, Inc., San Francisco Superior Court
Action No. 998587. The suit involves a claim by a customer who rented a motor
scooter and sustained personal injuries as the result of a vehicular accident.
The matter is covered by ASCR's liability insurance. Recently a court appointed
arbitrator awarded the plaintiff the sum of $50,000, a sum that is well within
the policy limits. The matter is expected to settle without any exposure to
ASCR.

Aside from the foregoing matter, ASCR is unaware of any other material claims,
actions, proceedings or investigations pending, asserted or threatened against,
or involving the Business or the Assets.




Schedule 2.09

ASCR is not in default in any material respect under any agreement, contract,
lease or other material document relating to the Business or the Assets. There
have been no claims of such material defaults and, to the best of ASCR's
knowledge, information and belief, there are no facts or conditions which can
reasonably be expected to result in such a material default by ASCR.




Schedule 2.11

No claims have been threatened or asserted by any person that the manner in
which ASCR conducts its business is in violation of any license held by ASCR or
that ASCR's use of Intellectual Property infringes any proprietary right or
interest of any third party.

ASCR makes no warranties or representations whatsoever concerning its ownership
or right to use any particular intellectual property.
