 Except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in any Disclosure Schedule received by Buyer from Seller prior to execution of this Agreement (“Disclosure Schedule”), Seller and Shareholder, jointly and severally, represent and
warrant to Buyer as follows: 
  
 Section 2.1
Organization. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Hawaii, and has all necessary corporate powers to carry on the Business as it is now being conducted. Seller is duly qualified

Seller prior to the date of this Agreement without the breach or violation of any Law, agreement or obligation, or the infringement or violation of the rights of any person or entity. The operation of the Business and use of the Assets as conducted
by Seller do not infringe upon or violate any Intellectual Property or rights of any third party. 
  
 Section 2.6 Contracts. Each of the Assumed Contracts is legal, valid and in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
To Seller’s knowledge no other party to any Assumed Contract has taken the position that any provision of such Assumed Contract is unenforceable. Seller has not received notice of cancellation of or default under or intent to cancel or call a
default under any of the Assumed Contracts. Seller has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under the Assumed Contracts, and there exists no event or condition which with or without notice or lapse of time or both would
be a material breach or a material default on the part of Seller or, to the knowledge of Seller, on the part of any other party to such Assumed Contracts. Complete and accurate copies of all Assumed Contracts have been provided to Buyer. 

 
 Section 2.7 Intellectual Property. Exhibit A sets
forth a complete and accurate itemization of all Intellectual Property owned by Seller, including all Intellectual Property which is used or held for use in, or otherwise necessary in connection with, the Business. Seller is the sole owner of all
right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances. No notice has been received by Seller, and no claim or proceeding has been brought or to Seller’s knowledge threatened against Seller, which
challenges the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property or Seller’s complete and exclusive ownership thereof, or suggests that any third party has any interest therein. Seller has not taken any action or failed to take any
action that would result in the abandonment or unenforceability of any of such Intellectual Property. To Seller’s knowledge, no third party is misappropriating, infringing or diluting any of such Intellectual Property or violating any of
Seller’s rights therein. Seller has taken all reasonable steps in accordance with normal industry practice to protect its rights in its Intellectual Property. Each employee, consultant and contractor of Seller has executed a proprietary
information and confidentiality agreement substantially in the form provided to Buyer and, to Seller’s knowledge, has not violated such agreement. 
  
 Section 2.8 Internet Domain Names and Content. Exhibit A sets forth a complete and accurate itemization of all Internet addresses and
domain names and registrations held by Seller, including all those which are used or held for use in, or otherwise necessary in connection with, the Business (“Domain Names”). Seller is the sole registrant of all Domain Names, has
not licensed or otherwise transferred any of the rights in such Domain Names to which a registrant thereof is entitled (or entered into any agreement to do so), and has paid all registration fees relating to such Domain Names. Seller is the owner or
authorized licensee of all content displayed on the Internet sites associated with the Domain Names, and no consent, license or approval is required for the transfer of the Domain Names and such content and the continued use thereof by Buyer. No
notice has been 

  

 3 

 
received by Seller, and no claim or proceeding has been brought or to Seller’s knowledge threatened against Seller, which challenges Seller’s
complete and exclusive right to use the Domain Names, or suggests that any third party has any interest therein.

no outstanding accrued obligations to Shareholder. 
  
 Section
2.10 Tax Matters. Within the times and in the manner prescribed by Law, Seller has filed all Tax returns required by Law and has paid in full all Taxes and assessments required to be withheld or paid by Seller to any governmental
authority, and Buyer shall have no liability with regard to any Taxes imposed on Seller or as a result of the operation of the Business or use or sale of the Assets on or before the Closing.

no pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings (including disciplinary proceedings), claims, suits, actions or governmental or regulatory investigations of any nature
(“Proceedings”) against or affecting Seller, any of the Assets or the Business or challenging the validity of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There is no injunction, order, judgment, decree or regulatory restriction
imposed upon Seller, any of the Assets or the Business. Seller is not a party to any Proceedings instituted by it. Seller has not received any notice alleging its violation of the rights of any third party. 
  
 Section 2.12 Compliance With Law. Seller is in compliance with
all requirements of Law, and all requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over it, the operation of the Business or the use of the Assets, except to the extent the aggregate effect of the failure to be in such compliance
would not materially adversely affect the Assets or the Business. 
  
 Section 2.13 Liabilities. Seller does not have any known or known obligations or liabilities, fixed, contingent or otherwise, relating to the Business.

 2.14.1 Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the

accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. 
  

 4
