            one or more subsequent fiscal years, then net earnings before taxes
            with respect to such fiscal years shall be utilized to pay the
            Contingent Liabilities in the manner set forth in the preceding two
            sentences until such time, if ever, the Contingent Liabilities are

      file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all respects. All
      Taxes owed by the Target (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have
      been paid. The Target currently is not the beneficiary of any extension of
      time within which to file any Tax Return. No claim has ever been made by
      an authority in a jurisdiction where the Target does not file Tax Returns
      that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are
      no Security Interests on any of the assets of the Target that arose in
      connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any Tax.

            (ii) The Target has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have
      been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any
      employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third

            (iii) The Target does not expect any authority to assess any
      additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been filed.
      There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax Liability of the Target

      personal contact with any agent of such authority. ss.3(k) of the

      Taxes of any Person (other than any of the Target and its Subsidiaries)
      under Reg. ss.1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or
      foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.

            (vi) S Corp. The Target has been an S Corporation since its

      passive income under Section 1375 of the Code or (iii) any adjustments
      under Section 481(a) of the Code. Neither the Target nor any Target
      Stockholder has taken, or failed to take, any action, or is aware of any
      circumstances, that

                                       11
