At Closing, no person will hold a power of attorney from Mercari. At the Closing, Mercari will have no assets or liabilities or any obligations which would give rise to a liability in the future.
2.09. Compliance with Laws. To the best knowledge of the Seller, Mercari has complied in all material respects, with, and is not in violation of any, federal, state, or local statute, law, and/or regulation. To the best of the knowledge of the Seller, Mercari has complied with all federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer, sale and distribution of its securities and has filed all reports required to be filed with the SEC since January 1, 2015.

None of the Shares are or will be subject to any voting trust or agreement. No person holds or has the right to receive any proxy or similar instrument with respect to such Shares.
