5.8  Financial Statements. Berten has delivered to Future Projects consolidated
     balance sheets of Berten and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1999, and
     statements of income and changes in financial position for the period from
     inception to the period then ended, together with the report thereon of
     Berten's independent accountant (the "Berten Financial Statements"). Such
     Berten Financial Statements are internally prepared and unaudited but
     fairly present the consolidated financial condition and results of
     operations of Berten and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates
     thereof and for the periods therein referred to, all in accordance with
     generally accepted United States accounting principles consistently applied
     throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto.

5.9  Title to Properties. Either Berten or one of its Subsidiaries owns all the
     material properties and assets that they purport to own (real, personal and
     mixed, tangible and intangible), including, without limitation, all the
     material properties and assets reflected in the Berten Financial Statements
     (except for property sold since the date of the Berten Financial Statements
     in the ordinary course of business or leased under capitalized leases), and
     all the material properties and assets purchased or otherwise acquired by
     Berten or any of its Subsidiaries since the date of the Berten Financial

     the case of real property, subject to any material rights of way, building
     use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations or limitations of any
     nature whatsoever except, with respect to all such properties and assets,
     (a) mortgages or security interests

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
     shown on the Berten Financial Statements as securing specified liabilities
     or obligations, with respect to which no default (or event which, with
     notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, and
     all of which are listed in the Berten Disclosure Letter, (b) mortgages or
     security interests incurred in connection with the purchase of property or
     assets after the date of the Berten Financial Statements (such mortgages
     and security interests being limited to the property or assets so
     acquired), with respect to which no default (or event which, with notice
     or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) exists, (c) as to
     real property, (i) imperfections of title, if any, none of which
     materially detracts from the value or impairs the use of the property
     subject thereto, or impairs the operations of Berten or any of its
     Subsidiaries and (ii) zoning laws that do not impair the present or
     anticipated use of the property subject thereto, and (d) liens for current
     taxes not yet due. The properties and assets of Berten and its
     Subsidiaries include all rights, properties and other assets necessary to
     permit Berten and its Subsidiaries to conduct Berten's business in all
     material respects in the same manner as it is conducted on the date of
     this Agreement.

5.10 Buildings, Plants and Equipment. The buildings, plants, structures and
     material items of equipment and other personal property owned or leased by
     Berten or its Subsidiaries are, in all respects material to the business
     or financial condition of Berten and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
     in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted)
     and are adequate in all such respects for the purposes for which they are
     being used. Berten has not received notification that it or any of its
     Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable building, zoning,
     anti-pollution, health, safety or other law, ordinance or regulation in
     respect of its buildings, plants or structures or their operations, which
     violation is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or
     financial condition of Berten and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or
     which would require a payment by Berten or Future Projects or any of their
     subsidiaries in excess of $2,000 in the aggregate, and which has not been
     cured.

5.11 No Condemnation or Expropriation. Neither the whole nor any portion of the
     property or leaseholds owned or held by Berten or any of its Subsidiaries
     is subject to any governmental decree or order to be sold or is being
     condemned, expropriated or otherwise taken by any Governmental Body or
     other Person with or without payment of compensation therefor, which
     action is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or
     financial condition of Future Projects and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
     whole.

                                       7

5.12 Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, proceeding or investigation
     by or before any court or Governmental Body pending or threatened in
     writing against or involving Berten or any of its Subsidiaries which is
     likely to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial
     condition of Berten, Future Projects and any of their Subsidiaries, taken
     as a whole, or which would require a payment by Berten or its Subsidiaries
     in excess of $2,000 in the aggregate or which questions or challenges the
     validity of this Agreement. Neither Berten nor any of its Subsidiaries is
     subject to any judgment, order or decree that is likely to have a material
     adverse effect on the business or financial condition of Berten, Future
     Projects or any of their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or which would
     require a payment by Berten or its subsidiaries in excess of $2,000 in the
     aggregate.

             REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER

     2.1 The SELLER hereby represents and warrants that:

          (a)  It shall transfer title, in and to the Shares, to the PURCHASER
               free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges,
               encumbrances, charges, restrictions, demands and claims, of any

               or subsequent holders. The Company represents and warrants that
               the Shares may be issued as securities without restrictive legend
               or other restriction on transfer pursuant to Rule 504. The
               Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
               representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
               understandings of PURCHASER set forth herein in order to
               determine the applicability of such exemptions and the
               suitability of PURCHASER to acquire the Shares.

     2.2. The PURCHASER hereby represents and warrants that:

          (a)  The PURCHASER has the full right, power and authority to enter
               into this Agreement and to carry out and consummate the
               transaction contemplated herein. This Agreement constitutes the

          (b)  The PURCHASER acknowledges that investment in the Shares involves
               substantial risks and is suitable only for persons of adequate
               financial means who can bear the economic risk of an investment
               in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. PURCHASER further
               represents that it:

               (1)  has no need for liquidity in his investment in the Shares,
                    is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an
                    investment in the Shares for an indefinite period, and, at
                    the present time, can afford a complete loss of its
                    investment;

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

               (2)  does not have an overall commitment to investments which are
                    not readily marketable that is disproportionate to its net
                    worth, and that his investment in the Shares will not cause
                    such overall commitment to become excessive;
