AGREEMENT

The
parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.                                      AGREEMENT
FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK.

1.1          Purchase
and Sale of Stock.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall
purchase from Seller  the Stock for an
aggregate purchase price  equal to Two
Million shares (2,000,000) shares of common stock in Buyer (the “Buyer
Shares”) subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1934 and which shares
shall constitute the purchase price (the “Base Price”), which Base Price
is subject to adjustment at Closing as provided in Section 1.3(a) hereof
and after Closing as provided in Section 1.3(b) hereof. (The buyer
contemplates a forward split of shares. It is agreed that at the time of
issuance, if after the forward split, the Buyer shall issue Twelve Million
shares (12,000,000) and subject to Section 2.1 hereof.)

(a)           The Seller shall sell, assign,
transfer and deliver to Buyer the Stock representing 100% of the outstanding
common stock of Seller and shall represent to Buyer that there are no
additional shares of stock in Seller of any nature or of any category and shall
deliver the certificates representing such Stock accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank; and

 

(b)           Buyer shall accept and purchase the Stock
from the Seller and in payment thereof shall deliver to the Seller the Buyer
Shares, as may be herein adjusted in Section 1.3(a) hereof and by Section
1.3(b) hereof.

 

1.2         
Deliveries at the Closing.  Subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, at the Closing:

 

2

 

(a)            The Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i)
certificates representing the Stock bearing the restrictive legend customarily
placed on securities that have not been registered under applicable federal and
state securities laws and accompanied by stock powers as required by Section
1.1(a) hereof, and any other documents that are necessary to transfer to
Buyer good title to all the Stock, and (ii) all opinions, certificates, and
other instruments and documents required to be delivered by the Seller at or
prior to the Closing or otherwise required in connection herewith;

(b)               Buyer shall deliver to Seller (i) certificates
representing the Buyer Shares and accompanied by stock powers as required by Section
1.1(b) hereof, and any other documents that are necessary to transfer to
Seller good title to all the Buyer Shares, and (ii) all opinions, certificates,
and other instruments and documents required to be delivered by Buyer at or
prior to the Closing or otherwise required in connection herewith;

 

1.3          Net Worth Adjustment.  (a) If the Closing date is on or before the fifteenth
(15th) of any month, as soon as practicable after the Closing date,
but, in no event, more than five (5) days after the Closing, the Seller shall
deliver to Buyer a balance sheet of Wing Sail (the “Closing Date Balance
Sheet”) dated as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the
Closing date, and if the Closing date is after the fifteenth (15th)
of any month, as soon as practicable after the Closing, but, in no event after
the third (3rd) Business Day, as that term is hereinafter defined, of
the first month after the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Closing
Date Balance Sheet dated as of the last day of the month in which the Closing
occurred. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in good faith on the
same basis and in accordance with the accounting principles, methods and
practices used in preparing Wing Sail’s financial statements, financial reports
and statements of financial condition, which shall include the audited balance
sheet of Wing Sail as of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004, together with the notes thereto, in each case examined by and
accompanied by the report of independent certified public accountants and the
audited balance sheet of Wing Sail as of September 30, 2005 and the related
statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the period ended September
30, 2005, together with the notes thereto, in each case examined by and
accompanied by the report of independent certified public accountants (All of
the foregoing financial statements, including the notes thereto, being referred
to herein collectively as the “Wing Sail Financial Statements”). The
preparation and presentment of the Wing Sail Financial Statements  shall be subject to the modifications,
adjustments and exceptions to such accounting principles, methods and practices
as may be agreed upon by the parties within five (5) days hereof (or such other
number of days as the parties shall agree upon) and set forth in Schedule
1.3(a) hereto. Seller does hereby specifically represent, warrant and
pledge to Buyer that the Wing Sail Financial Statements do not fail to clearly
indicate any or all debts, obligations, liabilities or other potential claims,
either known or reasonably expected, against Wing Sail including, but not
limited to, claims for taxes, environmental spills or remediations, debts,
employee matters or legal actions.  In
the event that Wing Sail shall not have completed its audit for the period ending
September 30, 2005 in time for it to be included in the Closing Date Balance
Sheet, Seller shall deliver Wing Sail’s audit for the period ending September
30, 2005 to Buyer not later than January 2, 2006 (the “January Delivery”).
In the event that Seller shall, for any reason, fail to make the January
Delivery, Buyer shall have the right to thereafter cause the

 

3

 

audit to be performed and
Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for the costs, fees and expenses of such
audit. In the event of a January Delivery, the Closing Date Balance Sheet,
inclusive of the data and reports included in the January Delivery, shall be
delivered to Buyer not later than January 2, 2006.

(b)           Within ten (10) days after delivery of the Closing Date
Balance Sheet, (i) Buyer (the “Reviewer”) shall audit or otherwise
review the Closing Date Balance Sheet in such manner as it deems appropriate,
and (ii) Buyer shall deliver such reviewed balance sheet (the “Reviewed
Balance Sheet”), together with the Reviewer’s reports thereon, to Seller.
The Reviewed Balance Sheet (x) shall be prepared on the same basis and in
accordance with United States GAAP and (y) shall include a schedule clearly
showing any adjustments to the net worth or obligations of Wing Sail.

 

(c)           Seller shall have a period of five (5) days after the
delivery to the Seller of the Reviewed Balance Sheet to present in writing to Buyer
all objections that it may have to the matters set forth or reflected therein,
which objections shall be set forth in reasonable detail. If no objections are
raised within such 5 day period, the Reviewed Balance Sheets shall be
conclusively deemed to have been accepted by the Seller and a supplemental
closing (the “Supplemental Closing”) shall take place within five (5)
Business Days following the expiration of the 5 day period.

 

(d)           If Seller shall raise any objection within the 5 day
period, Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the dispute and, if
resolved, the Supplemental Closing shall take place within five (5) Business
Days following such resolution.

 

(e)           If such dispute cannot be resolved within ten (10) days
after the delivery of the Reviewed Balance Sheets, then the specific matters in
dispute shall be submitted to a firm of independent public accountants mutually
acceptable to the Parties, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be
final. The fees and expenses of any such independent public accountant shall be
borne equally by Buyer and by Seller.

 

(f)            Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with one another and
with one another’s authorized representatives and with any accounting firm
selected pursuant to Section 1.3(e) hereof in order that any and all
matters in dispute shall be resolved as soon as practicable.

 

(g)           If the net worth of Wing Sail as shown on the Reviewed
Balance Sheet as finally determined through the operation of Sections 1.3
(a) through (e) hereof (such amount being referred to herein as the “Final
Net Worth”) shall be less than the required net worth (the “Required Net
Worth”) in Section 1.4 (the amount of any such deficiency being
referred to herein as the “Net Worth Deficiency”) the Buyer shall issue
to Seller the adjusted amount.

 

(h)           “Net Worth” computed in connection with the Closing Date
Balance Sheet and the Reviewed Balance Sheet shall mean the amount by which the
total assets exceed the total liabilities reflected, in each case, on the
balance sheet of Wing Sail comprising the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the
Reviewed Balance Sheet, as the case may be.

 

 

4

 

(i)            Except as disclosed on Schedule 1.3(i) hereto,

the Closing there shall be no inter-company payables or inter-company receivables
due and/or owing between the Seller, Bell, any company, corporation,
partnership or other entity owned (more than 25%) or controlled by Bell (either
directly or indirectly, either for his own account or for the account of
others, either directly or in trust), or between or among any one, or more of
them, and any third party, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of
business and generally disclosed in Wing Sail’s audited financial statements.

 

1.4          Net
Worth of Wing Sail.  The Net Worth of Wing Sail, as determined in

is not assuming any debt, obligation, duty or liability of any nature
(including any unknown, undisclosed, unmatured, unaccrued, unasserted,

several or secondary liability) of Seller (each individually referred to herein
as a “Liability”), including, without limitation: any Liability in

5.                                      REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

5.1          Warranties and
Representations of Seller.  In order to induce Buyer to enter
into this Agreement, Seller warrants and represents to Buyer that each of the
following representations and warranties are materially true as of the date of
this Agreement and will be materially true on and as of the Closing Date:

(a)           Organization and Licensing.  Wing
Sail is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Texas and has the power to own, lease and use
the properties used in its businesses and to carry on its businesses as now
being conducted. Wing Sail is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each state and jurisdiction where
qualification as a foreign corporation is required, except to the extent that
any variation or failure thereof shall not be material in its effect.  Schedule 5.1(a) lists (a) the states
and other jurisdictions where Wing Sail is so qualified; and (ii) the assumed
names under which Wing Sail conducts business or has conducted business during
the past five (5) years. Seller has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform,
or to cause Wing Sail to perform, its obligations hereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein by Seller
have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Seller.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Seller and is a valid and binding obligation of Seller and Wing
Sail, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.  All permits, licenses and certificates
required by any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Seller or Wing
Sail or their operations, are now and will be current and valid as of the date
of Closing. Seller previously delivered or made available to Buyer complete and
correct copies of its articles of incorporation or documents of formation,
bylaws and other corporate and membership documents as amended and presently in
effect.

(b)           Subsidiaries.  Wing Sail has
no subsidiaries.

(c)           Capitalization.  The
authorized stock of Seller and the number of shares of capital stock that are
issued and outstanding is set forth in Schedule 5.1(c) hereto. The
shares listed on Schedule 5.1(c) hereto constitute all the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Seller and have been validly authorized
and issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have not been issued in violation
of any preemptive rights or of any federal or state securities law and no
personal liability attached to the ownership thereof. There is no security,
option, warrant, right, call, subscription, agreement, commitment or
understanding of any nature whatsoever, fixed or contingent, that directly or
indirectly (i) calls for the issuance, sale, pledge or other disposition of any
shares of capital stock of Seller, or any securities convertible into, or other
rights to acquire, any shares of capital stock of Seller; or (ii) obligates Seller
to grant, offer or enter into any of the foregoing; or (iii) relates to the
voting or control of such capital stock, securities or rights, except as
provided in this Agreement. Seller has not agreed to register any securities
under the Securities Act.

 

11

 

(d)           Approvals; Consents.  Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.1(d) hereto, no permits or approval of, or notice to
any governmental, administrative or judicial authority is necessary to be obtained
or made by Wing Sail to enable Wing Sail to continue to continue to conduct its
businesses and operations and use its properties after the Closing in a manner
which is in all material respects consistent with that in which they are
currently conducted except for the renewal of any permits in the ordinary
course of business (the renewal of which is purely administrative in nature and
does not call for a discretionary review by any granting authority) and for
which Seller has no reason to believe will not be routinely renewed.

(e)           Financial Statements.  Except as
otherwise indicated below, attached as Schedule 5.1(f) are true and
complete copies of:

(i) the audited balance sheets of Wing Sail as of
December 31, 2004 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity
and cash flow for the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, together with the
notes thereto, in each case examined by and accompanied by the report of
independent certified public accountants; and (ii) the audited balance sheets
of Wing Sail as of September 30, 2005 and the related statements of income,
stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the period ended September 30, 2005,
together with the notes thereto, in each case examined by and accompanied by
the report of independent certified public accountants (the Wing Sail Financial
Statements, as previously defined in Section 1.3 hereinabove). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller has
not completed its audit for the period ending September 30, 2005, Seller shall
hereafter deliver such audit in accordance with the terms of Section 1.4(a)
hereto.

The Wing Sail Financial Statements are in accordance
with the books and records of Wing Sail, fairly present the consolidated
financial positions and results of operations of Wing Sail as of the dates and
for the periods indicated, are stated in conformity with GAAP, consistently
applied, except as otherwise clearly and conspicuously stated, and can be
legitimately reconciled with the financial statements and with the financial
records maintained and the accounting methods applied by Wing Sail for federal
income tax purposes. The statements of income included in the Wing Sail
Financial Statements do not contain any items of special or non-recurring
income except as expressly specified therein, and the balance sheets included
in the Wing Sail Financial Statements do not reflect any write-up or
revaluation increasing the book value of any assets except as otherwise clearly
and conspicuously stated therein. The books and accounts of Wing Sail are
complete and correct in all material respects and fairly reflect all of the transactions,
items of income and expense and all assets and liabilities of the businesses of
Wing Sail consistent with prior practices of Wing Sail, including past
accounting treatments utilized by Wing Sail.

(f)            Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Wing
Sail has no liability of any nature whatsoever (whether known or unknown, due
or to become due, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), including,
without limitation, any unfunded obligation under employee benefits plans or
arrangements as described in Section 5.1(e) or liabilities for Taxes (as

or reserved

 

12

 

against in Wing Sail’s most recent financial

(g)           Absence of Material Adverse Effect; Conduct of
Business.  (a) Since October 15, 2005, except as set

course of business consistent with past practice and there has not been:

(i) any material adverse
change in the assets, properties, business, operations, prospects, net income
or financial condition of Wing Sail and, to the knowledge of the Seller, no
factor, event, condition, circumstance or prospective development exists which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) any material loss,
damage, destruction or other casualty to the property or other assets of Wing
Sail, whether or not covered by insurance;

(iii) any change in any
method of accounting or accounting practice of either of Wing Sail; or

employment, services or benefits of any key employee of Wing Sail.

(b)                                 Since October
15, 2005, except as set forth in Schedule 5.1(h)(b) hereto, Wing Sail
has not:

(i) incurred any material
obligation or liability (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise),
except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

subjected to any lien any of its property or other assets except in the

accordance with past practice not exceeding 10% or entered into any employment
or severance agreement or arrangement with any of them;

(viii) incurred any
obligation or liability to any employee for the payment of severance benefits
of more than $1,000; or

(ix) entered into any
agreement or made any commitment to do any of the foregoing.

(h)           Taxes.  Wing Sail and,
for any period during all or part of which, the tax liability of any other
corporation or entity was determined on a combined or consolidated basis with Wing
Sail, any such other corporation or entity, have filed timely all federal,
state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and declarations required to be
filed (or have obtained or timely applied for an extension with respect to such
filing) currently reflecting the Taxes (as defined below) and all other
information required to be reported thereon, and have paid, or made adequate
provision for the payment of, all Taxes which are due pursuant to such returns
or are pursuant to any assessments received by Wing Sail or any such other
corporation or entity. As used herein, “Taxes” shall mean all taxes,
fees levies or other assessments, including but not limited to income, excise,
property (including property taxes paid by Wing Sail pursuant to any lease),
sales, franchise, withholding, social security and unemployment taxes imposed
by the United States, or any state, county, local or foreign government, or any
subdivision or agency thereof, or taxing authority therein, and any interest,
penalties or additions to tax relating to such taxes, charges, fees, levies or
other assessments. Copies of all tax returns for each fiscal year since the
formation of Wing Sail have been furnished or made available to Buyer or to its
representatives and such copies are accurate and complete as of the date
thereof.  Wing Sail has also furnished or
made available to Buyer or its representatives correct and complete copies of
all notices and correspondence sent or received since the formation of Wing
Sail by Wing Sail to or from any federal, state or local tax authorities. Wing
Sail has adequately reserved for the payment of all Taxes with respect to periods
ended on, prior to or through the date of the Wing Sail Balance Sheet for which
tax returns have not yet been filed. In the ordinary course, Wing Sail makes
adequate provision on its books for the payment of all Taxes (including for the
current fiscal period) owed by Wing Sail. Except to the extent reserves
therefore are reflected on the Wing Sail Balance Sheet, Wing Sail is not liable
or will not become liable, for any Taxes for any period ending on, prior to or
through the dates of the Wing Sail Balance Sheets. Except as disclosed on Schedule
5.1(i), Wing Sail has not been subject to a federal or state tax audit of
any kind and no adjustment has been proposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)
with respect to any return for any subsequent year. With respect to the audits
referred to on Schedule 5.1(i) hereto, no such audit has resulted in an
adjustment in excess of $25,000. Seller knows of no basis for an assertion of a
deficiency for Taxes against Wing Sail.

(i)            Assumed Leases and Contracts.  Schedule
5.1(j) hereto contains a true and complete copy of all leases and all
contracts, of any nature whatsoever that are in force and in full effect as of
the date of this Agreement and that shall be in force and full

 

14

 

effect as of the date of the Closing and that are to
be assumed by Buyer. Seller has, or will prior to the Closing, notified each
party to each such Assumed Lease or Contract and has secured the written
permission, authority or consent for Buyer, on the same terms and subject to
the same conditions as Seller to assume all such Assumed Leases and Contracts. Each
Assumed Lease and Contract is valid and enforceable in accordance with its
terms; is not now, and will not be at Closing, in default; is current in all
respects, and no facts have occurred that either create a default, or with the
giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default.  Seller has not received notice of any claim
from the vendors or lessors with respect to any of the Assumed Leases and
Contracts.

Any lease or contract not
reflected on Schedule 5.1(j) shall not be assumed by Buyer and Seller
agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all causes of action of any
nature, including the costs of defense and reasonable attorney fees, that may
arise out of Buyer’s rejection or failure to perform according to any such
non-assumed lease or contract.

(j)            Legal Matters.  (a) Except as
set forth on Schedule 5.1(k) hereto, Seller is not subject to any
judgment, decree, writ, injunction ruling or order (collectively, “Judgments”)
of any governmental, administrative or judicial authority, domestic or foreign.
Schedule 5.1(k) identifies each Judgment disclosed thereon, each of
which is fully covered by an insurance policy and Seller hereby represents and
warrants to Buyer it shall be financially responsible for the full satisfaction
of any such Judgment, including costs of defense and costs of court and
attorney fees, to the extent that (i) any such Judgment, including costs of
defense and costs of court including attorney fees, is not covered by
insurance; and (ii) to the extent that any such Judgment, including costs of
defense and costs of court and attorney fees, is not fully satisfied by
insurance proceeds.

(i)                                     The businesses of Wing Sail are being
conducted in compliance with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations,
standards, judgments and other requirements of all governmental, administrative
or judicial entities (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) applicable to Wing
Sail or any of its businesses or properties, except for where the failure to be
in such compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Wing Sail holds, and is in compliance with, all franchises, licenses, permits,
registrations, certificates, consents, approvals or authorizations
(collectively, “Permits”) required by all applicable Legal Requirements.

(ii)                                  Wing Sail owns or holds all Permits
material to the conduct of its business. No event has occurred and is
continuing which permits, or after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
permit, any modification or termination of any Permit.

(l)            Property.  (i) Schedule
5.1(l) hereto is a list of all real property owned by or leased to Wing
Sail (including all real property owned by or leased to the Seller and used in
the businesses of Wing Sail) and of all options or other contracts to acquire
any such interest (collectively, the “Real Property”). All improvements
to the Real Property

 

15

 

(“Improvements”) and all machinery, equipment
and other tangible property owned or leased to or by Wing Sail are fit for the
particular purposes for which they are used by Wing Sail, subject only to
normal wear and tear. Such tangible properties and all Improvements owned or
leased by Wing Sail conform in all material respects with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations and other Legal Requirements and such
Improvements do not encroach in any respect in property of others.

(ii)                                The Real Property is zoned to permit the
conduct of the respective businesses of Wing Sail as presently conducted and a
Certificate of Occupancy or other similar governmental authority to conduct its
business has been issued and is in good standing by Wing Sail to conduct their
businesses on all or any part of their Real Property.

(m)          Inventories.  The values at which inventories
are carried on the Wing Sail Balance Sheets reflect the normal inventory
valuation policies of Wing Sail.

(n)           Contracts, Etc.  As used in
this Agreement, the term “Company Agreements” shall mean all mortgages,
indenture notes, agreements, contracts, leases, licenses, franchises,
obligations, instruments or other commitments, arrangements or understandings
of any kind, whether written or oral, binding or non-binding (including all
leases and other agreements referred to on Schedule 5.1(l) hereto) to
which Wing Sail is a party or by which Wing Sail or any of its properties may
be bound or affected, including all amendments, modifications, extensions or
renewals of any of the foregoing. Set forth on Schedule 5.1(n) is a
complete and accurate list of each Company Agreement which is material to the
business, operations, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
Wing Sail and involves more than $25,000 over the life of such Company
Agreement. True and correct copies of all Company Agreements have been provided
to Buyer and an accurate, complete and written description of all such verbal
Company Agreements has been submitted to Buyer. To the knowledge of Wing Sail
and of the Seller, Wing Sail is not in breach of or default under any of the
Company Agreements and no event has occurred which (after notice or lapse of
time, or both) would become a default or breach under, or would permit
modification, cancellation, acceleration, or termination of, any Company
Agreement, or result in the creation of any security interest upon, or any
person obtaining any right to acquire, any properties, assets or rights of Wing
Sail.

(o)           Transactions with Insiders.  Except
as set forth on Schedule 5.1(o), since January 1, 2003 there have been

liability company, partnership or joint venture owned 25% or more by the Seller

interests; or (2) the combined voting power of interests ordinarily entitled to
vote for management or otherwise; and (B) any trust or other estate in which
such person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which such person
serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity.

(c)           A “Relative” of a person shall mean
such person’s spouse, such person’s parents, sisters, brothers, children and
the spouses of the foregoing, and any member of the immediate household of such
person.

(p)           Disclosure.  Neither Seller,
nor anyone acting with its knowledge and on its behalf has made any material
misrepresentation to Buyer relating to Wing Sail or the Stock and Seller has not
omitted to state to Buyer any material fact relating to Wing Sail or the Stock
which is necessary in order to make the information given by or on behalf of
the Seller to Buyer not misleading or which if disclosed would reasonably
affect the decision of a person considering the acquisition of the Stock.

5.2          Warranties and
Representations of Buyer.  In order to induce Seller to
enter into this Agreement, Buyer covenants, warrants and represents to Seller
that each of the following representations and warranties is true as of the
date of this Agreement and will be true on and as of the Closing Date.

(a)           Organization and Licensing.  Buyer
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power to own, lease and use the
properties used in its businesses and to carry on its businesses as now being
conducted. It is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each state and jurisdiction where qualification as a
foreign corporation is required, except to the extent that any variation or
failure thereof shall not be material in its effect.  Schedule 5.2(a) lists (a) the states
and other jurisdictions where Buyer is so qualified; and (ii) the assumed names
under which it conducts business or has conducted business during the past five
(5) years. Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations
hereunder.  The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein by Buyer have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of Buyer. 
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and is a
valid and binding obligation of Buyer enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms.  All permits, licenses and
certificates required by any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
over Buyer and its operations, are now and will be current and valid as of the
date of Closing. Buyer has previously delivered or made available to Seller
complete and correct copies of their articles of incorporation or documents of
formation, bylaws and other corporate documents as amended and presently in
effect.

(b)           Approvals; Consents.  Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.2(b) hereto, no permits or approval of, or notice to
any governmental, administrative or judicial authority is necessary to be
obtained or made by Buyer to enable it to continue to continue to

 

17

 

conduct its businesses and operations and use its
properties after the Closing in a manner which is in all material respects
consistent with that in which they are currently conducted except for the
renewal of any permits in the ordinary course of business (the renewal of which
is purely administrative in nature and does not call for a discretionary review
by any granting authority) and for which Buyer has no reason to believe will
not be routinely renewed.

(c)           Financial Statements.  Except as
otherwise indicated below, attached as Schedule 5.2(c) are true and
complete copies of:

(i) the audited balance sheets of Buyer as of December
31, 2004 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, together with the notes thereto,
in each case examined by and accompanied by the report of independent certified
public accountants (the “Buyer Financial Statements”).

(ii) The Buyer Financial Statements are in accordance
with the books and records of Buyer, fairly present the consolidated financial
positions and results of operations of Buyer as of the dates and for the
periods indicated, are stated in conformity with GAAP, consistently applied,
except as otherwise clearly and conspicuously stated, and can be legitimately
reconciled with the financial statements and with the financial records
maintained and the accounting methods applied by Buyer for federal income tax
purposes. The statements of income included in the Buyer Financial Statements
do not contain any items of special or non-recurring income except as expressly
specified therein, and the balance sheets included in the Buyer Financial
Statements do not reflect any write-up or revaluation increasing the book value
of any assets except as otherwise clearly and conspicuously stated therein. The
books and accounts of Buyer are complete and correct in all material respects
and fairly reflect all of the transactions, items of income and expense and all
assets and liabilities of the businesses of Buyer consistent with prior
practices of Buyer, including past accounting treatments utilized by Buyer.

(d)           Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Buyer
has no liability of any nature whatsoever (whether known or unknown, due or to
become due, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), including, without
limitation, any unfunded obligation under employee benefits plans or
arrangements or liabilities for Buyer Taxes (as defined in Section 5.2(i)
hereof), except for (i) liabilities reflected or reserved against Buyer in the
most recent financial statements provided to the Seller; (ii) current
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with
past practice after the date of the last Buyer balance sheet supplied to Seller
which, individually and in the aggregate, do not have and cannot reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) liabilities exposed in Schedule
5.2(d) hereto.

(e)           Absence of Material Adverse Effect; Conduct of
Business.  (a) Since October 15, 2005, except as set
forth on Schedule 5.2(e) hereto, Buyer has operated in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice and there has not been:

 

18

 

(i) any material adverse
change in the assets, properties, business, operations, prospects, net income
or financial condition of Buyer and no factor, event, condition, circumstance
or prospective development exists which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

(ii) any material loss,
damage, destruction or other casualty to the property or other assets of Buyer,
whether or not covered by insurance;

(iii) any change in any
method of accounting or accounting practice of Buyer; or

(iv) any loss of the
employment, services or benefits of any key employee of Buyer.

(b)   Since October 15, 2005, except as set forth
in Schedule 5.2(e) (b) hereto, Buyer has not:

(i) incurred any material
obligation or liability (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise),
except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

(ii) mortgaged, pledged or
subjected to any lien any of its property or other assets except in the
ordinary course of business, and except for mechanics and materialmen’s liens
and liens for taxes not yet due and payable;

(iii) sold or transferred
any assets or cancelled any debts or claims or waived any rights, except in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

(iv) defaulted on any
material obligation;

(v) entered into any
material transaction, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice;

(vi) written down the value
of any inventory or written off as uncollectible any accounts receivable or any
portion thereof not reflected in the Buyer Financial Statements except in the
ordinary course of business;

(vii) granted any increase
in the compensation or benefits of employees other than the increases in
accordance with past practice not exceeding 10% or entered into any employment
or severance agreement or arrangement with any of them;

(viii) incurred any
obligation or liability to any employee for the payment of severance benefits
of more than $1,000; or

(ix) entered into any agreement
or made any commitment to do any of the foregoing.

 

19

 

(f)            Legal Matters.  (i) Except as
set forth on Schedule 5.2(f) hereto, Buyer is not subject to any
judgment, decree, writ, injunction ruling or order (collectively, “Buyer
Judgments”) of any governmental, administrative or judicial authority,
domestic or foreign. Schedule 5.2(f) identifies each Buyer Judgment
disclosed thereon, each of which is fully covered by an insurance policy and
Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that it shall be financially
responsible for the full satisfaction of any such Buyer Judgment, including
costs of defense and costs of court and attorney fees, to the extent that (i)
any such Buyer Judgment, including costs of defense and costs of court
including attorney fees, is not covered by insurance; and (ii) to the extent
that any such Buyer Judgment, including costs of defense and costs of court and
attorney fees, is not fully satisfied by insurance proceeds.

(i)            The
business of Buyer is being conducted in compliance with all laws, ordinances,
codes, rules, regulations, standards, judgments and other requirements of all
governmental, administrative or judicial entities (collectively, “Buyer
Legal Requirements”) applicable to either Buyer or any of its businesses or
properties, except for where the failure to be in such compliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Buyer holds, and is
in compliance with, all franchises, licenses, permits, registrations,
certificates, consents, approvals or authorizations (collectively, “Buyer Permits”)
required by all applicable Buyer Legal Requirements.

(ii)           Buyer
owns or holds all Buyer Permits material to the conduct of its business. No
event has occurred and is continuing which permits, or after notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would permit, any modification or termination of any Buyer
Permit.

 (g)          Inventories.  The values at which
inventories are carried by Buyer on its balance sheets reflect the normal
inventory valuation policies of Buyer.

(h)           Disclosure.  Neither Buyer
nor anyone acting with its knowledge and on its behalf has made any material
misrepresentation to the Seller relating to Buyer or the Buyer Shares and Buyer
has not omitted to state to the Seller any material fact relating to either Buyer
or the Buyer Shares which is necessary in order to make the information given by
or on behalf of Buyer to the Seller not misleading or which if disclosed would
reasonably affect the decision of a person considering the acquisition of the Buyer
Shares.

(i)            Taxes.  Buyer and, for
any period during all or part of which, the tax liability of any other
corporation or entity was determined on a combined or consolidated basis with Buyer
any such other corporation or entity, have filed timely all federal, state,
local and foreign tax returns, reports and declarations required to be filed
(or have obtained or timely applied for an extension with respect to such
filing) currently reflecting the Buyer Taxes (as defined below) and all other
information required to be

 

20

 

reported thereon, and have paid, or made adequate
provision for the payment of, all Buyer Taxes which are due pursuant to such
returns or are pursuant to any assessments received by Buyer or any such other
corporation or entity. As used herein, “Buyer  Taxes” shall mean
all taxes, fees levies or other assessments, including but not limited to
income, excise, property (including property taxes paid by Buyer pursuant to
any lease), sales, franchise, withholding, social security and unemployment
taxes imposed by the United States, or any state, county, local or foreign
government, or any subdivision or agency thereof, or taxing authority therein,
and any interest, penalties or additions to tax relating to such taxes,
charges, fees, levies or other assessments. Copies of all tax returns for each
fiscal year since the formation of Buyer have been furnished or made available
to the Seller or to his representatives and such copies are accurate and
complete as of the date thereof. Buyer has also furnished or made available to the
Seller or his representatives correct and complete copies of all notices and
correspondence sent or received since the formation of Buyer by Buyer to or
from any federal, state or local tax authorities. Buyer has adequately reserved
for the payment of all Buyer Taxes with respect to periods ended on, prior to
or through the date Buyer’s balance sheets for which tax returns have not yet
been filed. In the ordinary course, Buyer makes adequate provision on its books
for the payment of all Buyer Taxes (including for the current fiscal period)
owed by Buyer. Except to the extent reserves therefore are reflected on its
balance sheet, Buyer is not liable or will not become liable, for any Buyer Taxes
for any period ending on, prior to or through the dates of those balance sheets.
Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.2(i), Buyer has not been subject to a
federal or state tax audit of any kind and no adjustment has been proposed by
the IRS with respect to any return for any subsequent year. With respect to the
audits referred to on Schedule 5.2(i) hereto, no such audit has resulted
in an adjustment in excess of $25,000. Buyer knows of no basis for an assertion
of a deficiency for Buyer Taxes against Buyer.

5.3          Nature and Duration of
Warranties and Representations. 
Notwithstanding any investigation or examination conducted before or
after the Closing or the decision of any party to complete the Closing, each
party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement. All warranties and representations of the parties as
described in Section 5.1 and as described in Section 5.2 shall
survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years, except for warranties and
representations regarding Taxes, which shall survive the Closing for a period
of seven (7) years.

party to this Agreement.

AND REMEDIES

7.1          Default and Remedies.

8.1          Survival of
Representations and Warranties.  The
representations and warranties made by the parties hereunder shall survive the
making of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder for a period of two (2)
years except for warranties and representations regarding Taxes, which shall

8.2          Indemnification by Seller.  Seller
shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and each of Buyer’s officers, directors,
shareholders (and the respective spouses of each) harmless, from and against,
and shall reimburse Buyer (or, as the case may be, each of Buyer’s officers,
directors, shareholders and the respective spouses of each) on demand for any
liabilities, payments, losses, suits, claims, costs, or expenses (including
attorney’s fees and costs of investigation incurred in defending against such
liabilities, payments, losses, suits, claims, costs or expenses) made against
or incurred by or asserted against Buyer (and/or each of Buyer’s officers,
directors, shareholders and the respective spouses of each) at any time on or
after the Closing in respect of (a) any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement or any certificate
or other instrument furnished pursuant to

 

22

 

this Agreement,
(b) the failure of Seller to convey to Buyer good and marketable title to the
Stock, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except as expressly assumed
by Buyer under this Agreement, or (c) any liabilities of any nature including,

officers, directors, shareholders and the respective spouses of each) at any
time on or after the Closing in respect of (a) any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Buyer in this
Agreement or any certificate or other instrument furnished pursuant to this
Agreement, (b) the failure of Buyer to convey to Seller good and marketable

Indemnification.  Each party shall promptly notify the other of
any claim for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, shall
give the indemnifying party the opportunity to defend the claim with counsel of
its choice, subject to the reasonable approval of the party against whom the
claim is being brought, at its sole cost and expense, and shall not settle or
compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the prospective
indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
the subject matter underlying such claim is reasonably determined by the
indemnitee to be or potentially be precedent setting, or may adversely effect
the indemnitee’s future operations, indemnitee may, in its sole judgment,
withhold its consent to indemnitor defending the claim with its own counsel, or
settling the claim, and upon written notice to indemnitor, indemnitee shall
proceed with its defense of the claim. 
Indemnitor’s liability when indemnitee is defending the claim shall not
exceed that which indemnitor would have incurred had indemnitor provided the
claim defense.

expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time for performance or
taking such action will be extended to the next succeeding day which is not a

other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled pursuant to the
court’s ruling.

9.9          Counterparts and
Facsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, and by facsimile signature, each of which will be an original
but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

9.10        Severability. 
If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be wholly
or partially invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or
impaired thereby.

9.11        Headings. 
The headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted
solely for convenience of reference and are not a part of and are not intended
to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof.

contemplated herein.  In the event of a
permitted assignment, all documents to be executed by Buyer at Closing may be
executed by Buyer’s nominee hereunder, and thereupon Buyer shall have no further
liability hereunder or with respect to such documents and the assignee shall
thereafter be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this agreement
without reservation as fully as Buyer is so bound as of the date of the full
execution of this agreement and as of the Closing.  The words “nominee” and “assignee” are used
interchangeably in this Agreement.

9.14        No Brokers.  There

warrants that Buyer has not dealt with any sales agents, finders, brokers or
other consultants in connection with this transaction and has no financial
obligation to any such sales agents, finders, brokers or other consultants in
connection with this transaction.  Seller
represents and warrants that Seller has not dealt with any sales agents,
finders, brokers or other consultants in connection with this transaction.  If any person asserts a claim to a finder’s
fee, brokerage commission or other compensation on account of alleged
employment as a finder or broker, or the performance of services as a finder or
broker in connection with this transaction, the party under whom the finder or
broker is claiming will indemnify, defend and hold the other party and the
other party’s affiliates harmless for, from, and against any claims related
thereto.  This indemnity will survive the
Closing or the cancellation of this Agreement.

 

25
